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, 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. 2Statement on Forward‐Looking Information This presentation contains forward‐looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws.

2018 Guidance Targets 1 Metallurgical coal sales volumes may range from ~55%‐65% PCI and ~35%‐45% coking coal (including semi‐hard and semi‐soft coking coals). Approximately 30% of seaborne coking sales may be priced on a spot basis, with the remainder linked to an index. Approximately 30% of seaborne PCI sales may be priced on a spot basis, with the remainder linked to the quarterly LV PCI benchmark. 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. The North Goonyella Mine receives the PHCC index quoted price and the Coppabella Mine typically sets the LV PCI benchmark, 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 PHCC index quoted price for its coking products, and 85%‐90% of the 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 expects to realize approximately 85%‐95% of the Newcastle index price. 3 Assumes 2018 average A$ FX rate of $0.76. Cost ranges include sales‐related cost, which will fluctuate based on realized prices. 4 Sensitivities reflect approximate impacts of changes in variables on financial performance. When realized, actual impacts may differ significantly. 5 As of June 30, 2018, Peabody had purchased average rate call options to manage market price volatility associated with the Australian dollar in aggregate notional amount of approximately AUD $0.9 billion with strike price levels ranging from $0.79 to $0.82 and settlement dates through Dec. 31 2018, and AUD $0.2 billion aggregate notional amount with average strike price levels of $0.79 and settlement dates from Jan. 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019. Sensitivities provided are relative to an assumed average A$ FX exchange rate of $0.75 for the remainder of 2018. 6 3Q – 4Q 2018 seaborne thermal priced position assumes recently announced JFY settlement of $110 per tonne carries through to committed tons linked to the JFY settlement. 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 oreffort. 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 Aug. 22, 2018, Peabody has approximately 114.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. On a fully diluted basis, Peabody has approximately 117.6 million shares of common stock. 222018 Guidance Targets 1 Metallurgical coal sales volumes may range from ~55%‐65% PCI and ~35%‐45% coking coal (including semi‐hard and semi‐soft coking coals). Approximately 30% of seaborne coking sales may be priced on a spot basis, with the remainder linked to an index. Approximately 30% of seaborne PCI sales may be priced on a spot basis, with the remainder linked to the quarterly LV PCI benchmark. 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. The North Goonyella Mine receives the PHCC index quoted price and the Coppabella Mine typically sets the LV PCI benchmark, 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 PHCC index quoted price for its coking products, and 85%‐90% of the 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 expects to realize approximately 85%‐95% of the Newcastle index price. 3 Assumes 2018 average A$ FX rate of $0.76. Cost ranges include sales‐related cost, which will fluctuate based on realized prices. 4 Sensitivities reflect approximate impacts of changes in variables on financial performance. When realized, actual impacts may differ significantly. 5 As of June 30, 2018, Peabody had purchased average rate call options to manage market price volatility associated with the Australian dollar in aggregate notional amount of approximately AUD $0.9 billion with strike price levels ranging from $0.79 to $0.82 and settlement dates through Dec. 31 2018, and AUD $0.2 billion aggregate notional amount with average strike price levels of $0.79 and settlement dates from Jan. 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019. Sensitivities provided are relative to an assumed average A$ FX exchange rate of $0.75 for the remainder of 2018. 6 3Q – 4Q 2018 seaborne thermal priced position assumes recently announced JFY settlement of $110 per tonne carries through to committed tons linked to the JFY settlement.
