| Derivatives and Fair Value Measurement |
16. Derivatives and Fair Value Measurement a) Derivatives The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage its financial risks in the normal course of operations, including foreign currency risks, commodity price risk related to purchase of raw materials (such as gas or diesel) and interest rate risk. Derivatives for speculative purposes are strictly prohibited under the Treasury Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The financing counterparties to the derivative contracts potentially expose the Company to credit-related risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the financial instrument. The Company mitigates credit risk by entering into derivative contracts with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and fre quently monitoring their financial condition. Forward foreign currency contracts The Company’s Australian Operations utilize the cash generated from US$ denominated coal sales revenues to fund operating costs, which are predominantly in A$. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure on a portion of the US$ denominated coal sales revenue at its Australian Operations, whose functional currency is A$. The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding forward foreign currency derivative contracts designated as 40.0 million as at June 30, 2026, maturing in July 2026. Given the forward foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized loss of $ 0.9 million was recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” at June 30, 2026 in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will be reclassified into “Coal revenues” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which the hedged transaction impacts income, expected to be in July 2026. Refer to Note 17. “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Losses.” As of June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $ 0.9 million in respect of forward foreign currency contracts unrealized loss, classified within “ Other Financial Liabilities ”. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a derivative asset of $ 2.5 million in respect of forward foreign currency contracts unrealized gain, classified within “ Other assets ”. The following table presents the details of outstanding foreign currency contracts:
June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Notional amount (thousands) Unit of measure Varying maturity dates Notional amount (thousands) Unit of measure Varying maturity dates Designated forward foreign 40,000 US$ July 2026 80,000 US$ 2026- March 2026 b) Fair Value Measurement The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that will be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values of financial instruments involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s forward foreign currency contracts, a net derivative 0.9 million and derivative asset of $ 2.5 million, respectively, were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on a valuation that is corroborated by the use of market-based pricing (Level 2). Financial Instruments Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis Other than the estimated fair value of the assets described in Note 4. “Impairment of assets” and Note 5. “Assets held for sale”, which are Level 3 fair value, there were no other assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Other Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025: ● Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, lease liabilities and other current financial liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate d fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. ● Restricted deposits, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities: The fair values approximate d the carrying values reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ● Interest bearing liabilities: The Company’s outstanding interest-bearing liabilities are carried at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the amounts drawn under the ABL Facility approximate d the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of the Notes as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $ 364.8 million based upon quoted market prices in a market that is not considered active (Level 2). The estimated fair value of the Curragh Housing loan was $ 25.2 based upon unobservable inputs (Level 3).
