• Management said Iran-related war inflation (notably diesel and supply/repair costs) added roughly $2/ton in Q1 and could produce a larger full-quarter impact in Q2, warning it may raise full-year cost guidance above the current $95–$101/ton range if the situation persists.
• Realizations were helped by strength in the Australian PLV index—Aussie-linked export met realized $144.95/ton vs $110.32/ton on Atlantic indices—creating opportunities to place more low/medium-vol tons into higher-priced Asian-linked sales where economics allow.
• The company mitigated a four-week Dominion Terminal Associates outage by using additional Hampton Roads capacity, and the Kingston/Wildcat mine is on coal and expected to ramp through Q2–Q4, supporting a stronger shipping cadence later in 2026.
• At the midpoint of guidance Alpha has 48% of Met tonnage committed and priced at an average of $132.37/ton, 43% committed but unpriced, and thermal byproduct fully committed at $74.53/ton, leaving material exposure to future index movements on the unpriced volume.
