Exhibit 99.1

Cowen Energy and Natural Resources Conference December 2017

Statement on Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words or variation of words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “goal,” “could” or “may” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of revenues, income, earnings per share, cost savings, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, capital structure, market share, industry volume, or other financial items, descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for future operations, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, the company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2016, as amended on July 10, 2017 and Aug. 14, 2017, and in Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2017, as well as additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC. You may get such filings for free at our website at www.peabodyenergy.com. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization and reorganization items, net. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing each of the segment’s operating performance as displayed in the reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as one of the primary metrics to measure the Company’s operating performance. Management also believes non-GAAP performance measures are used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance and lenders to measure the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. 2

Appendix: 2017 Targets 1 Metallurgical coal sales volumes may range from ~50%-60% PCI and ~40%-50% coking coal (including semi-hard and semi-soft coking coals). Approximately 55% of seaborne metallurgical sales may be executed on a spot basis, with the remainder priced under quarterly contracts or linked to an index. The company also has exposure to approximately 2 million tons of metallurgical coal related to the Middlemount Mine, a 50/50 joint venture accounted for in (Income) Loss from Equity Affiliates. Peabody’s North Goonyella and Coppabella mines typically receive the PLV HCC index quoted price and set the PLV PCI benchmark, respectively, with the remainder of products sold at discounts to these values based on coal qualities and properties. On a weighted-average basis across all metallurgical products, Peabody typically realizes approximately 85% -90% of the PLV HCC index quoted price for its coking products, and 90%-95% of the premium LV PCI benchmark price for its PCI products. 2 A portion of Peabody’s seaborne thermal coal products sell at or above the Newcastle index, with the remainder sold at discounts relative to the Newcastle index based on coal qualities and properties. On a weighted-average basis across all seaborne thermal products, Peabody typically realizes approximately 90%-95% of the Newcastle index price. 3 Assumes 4Q 2017 average A$ FX rate of $0.79. 4 Sensitivities reflect approximate impacts of changes in variables on financial performance. When realized, actual impacts may differ significantly. 5 As of Sept. 30, 2017, Peabody had purchased average rate call options in aggregate notional amount of approximately AUD $450 million to manage market price volatility associated with the Australian dollar with strike price levels of approximately $0.78 and settlement dates through December 2017. Sensitivities provided are relative to an assumed average A$ FX exchange rate of $0.79 for remainder of 2017. For 2018, Peabody purchased average rate call options in aggregate notional amount of approximately AUD $675 million with strike price levels of approximately $0.85 and settlement dates through June 2018. Note 1: Peabody classifies its Australian Metallurgical or Thermal Mining segments based on the primary customer base and reserve type. A small portion of the coal mined by the Australian Metallurgical Mining segment is of a thermal grade and vice versa. Peabody may market some of its metallurgical coal products as a thermal product from time to time depending on industry conditions. Per ton metrics presented are non-GAAP measures. Due to the volatility and variability of certain items needed to reconcile these measures to their nearest GAAP measure, no reconciliation can be provided without unreasonable cost or effort. Note 2: A sensitivity to changes in seaborne pricing should consider Peabody’s estimated split of PCI and coking coal products, the ratio of PLV PCI benchmark to PLV HCC index quoted price, the weighted average discounts across all products to the applicable PLV HCC index quoted price or PLV PCI benchmark or Newcastle index prices, in addition to impacts on sales-related costs in Australia, and applicable conversions between short tons and metric tonnes as necessary. Note 3: As of Oct. 30, 2017, Peabody would have approximately 131.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, assuming full conversion of Peabody’s preferred stock (including make-whole shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock). The fully converted shares issued value excludes approximately 3.5 million shares underlying unvested equity awards under Peabody’s long-term incentive plan. As of Dec. 1, 2017 holders of approximately 55% of preferred stock issued at emergence had converted their shares into common stock. Post the Oct. 31, 2017, PIK dividend, every 1 million preferred shared converted equals ~$7.5 million of non-cash dividends. 28
