Q & A

Appendix

Overview of Assets Moranbah North Mine is a well-equipped, high-capacity underground longwall operation located approximately 200 km southwest of Mackay in Queensland. The mine produces premium low-volatile hard coking coal and is expected to produce an average of 6.2 million tons per year of saleable coal over the next 31 years. Reserves total 147 million tons with 387 million tons of coal resources. Moranbah North’s coal products are exported to steel customers across Asia through the Dalrymple Bay Terminal near Mackay. Grosvenor Mine is an underground longwall operation in the Bowen Basin. The mine is currently inactive following an ignition event in June 2024. The mine produces premium low-volatile hard coking coal and, when production resumes, is expected to produce an average of 3 to 4 million tons per year of saleable coal production over the next 20 years. Reserves total 61 million tons with 470 million tons of coal resources. Grosvenor’s coal products are transported via an on-site rail loading facility that is shared with Moranbah North and exported to steelmaking customers via the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal. Aquila Mine is an underground longwall operation located 240km south of Mackay in Queensland. The mine produces premium low-volatile hard coking coal and is expected to produce an average of 3.3 million tons per year of saleable coal over the next eight years. Reserves total 21 million tons with 63 million tons of coal resources. Aquila’s coal products are exported to steel customers across Asia through the Dalrymple Bay Terminal and RG Tanna Coal Terminal. Capcoal Open-Cut Mine is a long-life surface operation, located 240 km south of Mackay in Queensland. The mine produces premium low-volatile hard coking coal, pulverized coal injection (PCI) and thermal coal, and is expected to produce an average of 4.0 to 4.5 million tons per year of saleable coal over 24 years. Reserves total 77 million tons with 337 million tons of coal resources. Capcoal’s coal products are exported to customers via the Dalrymple Bay and RG Tanna Coal Terminal.

With this transaction, Peabody is continuing to execute its stated goal to re-balance its portfolio assets away from thermal coal toward metallurgical coal. In light of the significant shift in the composition of the company’s assets through this transaction, Peabody intends to reassess each asset in its portfolio. Peabody previously announced plans to reduce annual thermal coal volumes from its U.S. mines by 20 – 40 million tons (versus 2023 production) by 2035, and this reassessment process could accelerate these reductions. Innovation may also further support this transition by allowing coal from Peabody’s U.S. operations to be sold for future applications with a lower carbon intensity. As previously announced, Peabody exceeded its Board of Director’s initial targets to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 15% (versus 2018 emissions levels) by reducing those emissions by 35%. As part of the company’s commitment to establish incremental, measurable and actionable targets on emissions reduction, Peabody’s Board will establish new targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction by the end of the year. (Continued on next slide) Acquisition Accompanied by Sustainability-Related Actions

While Peabody has not yet established specific targets related to the reduction of its Scope 3 emissions, the Peabody Board has communicated its aspirations to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, noting that achieving such a commitment requires continued technological innovation. To help drive this innovation, Peabody continues to support academic research in carbon capture — including direct air capture — and storage. Further, to start down a path toward specific Scope 3 reduction commitments, and in the interest of transparency, Peabody plans to include an estimate of its Scope 3 emissions in its 2026 Sustainability Report. Peabody continues to reimagine the use of its coal assets in the energy transition, via: R3 Renewables (a Peabody joint-venture) which is advancing project development of over 5.0 GW of solar and battery storage capacity on ten sites on or near previous coal mining operations in Indiana and Illinois, with three of the sites (Gateway, Bear Run and Wild Boar) utilizing reclaimed mine land owned by Peabody. Pre-development actions to build a 5 megawatt (MW) power station that utilizes gas removed from the Centurion Mine in Queensland. The project will provide carbon abatement under the Australian Safeguard Mechanism and the site with power cost savings. In addition, assessing potential for an LNG facility at Centurion to commercialize premium methane, offset drainage cost and further abate Australian Safeguard. Other renewable projects, as Peabody is in pre-development of a large-scale solar project at Twentymile Mine (Colorado) and a wind project at Wilpinjong Mine (New South Wales), with both representing approximately 300 MW in battery storage. Each project in Peabody’s portfolio — whether traditional mining projects or emerging uses of existing assets — competes for capital. As incentives in furtherance of the energy transition continue to build, the company believes that competition for capital increasingly tilts toward a reimagined Peabody portfolio with a lower carbon footprint.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA refers to Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing each of its segment's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as the primary metric to measure each of its segment's operating performance and allocate resources. The estimates presented previously within these materials are forward-looking 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. EBITDA Margin per Ton refers to Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton which is an operating/statistical measure equal to Adjusted EBITDA by segment divided by segment tons sold. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflects controllable costs and operating results at the reporting segment level. The estimates presented previously within these materials are forward-looking 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.
