Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographic Information Segment and Geographic Information
The Company reports its results of operations primarily through the following reportable segments: Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Metallurgical, Powder River Basin, Other U.S. Thermal and Corporate and Other.
The Company’s seaborne operating platform is primarily export focused with customers spread across several countries, with a portion of its thermal and metallurgical coal sold within Australia. Generally, revenue from individual countries varies year by year based on electricity and steel demand, the strength of the global economy, governmental policies and several other factors, including those specific to each country. The Company classifies its seaborne mines within the Seaborne Thermal or Seaborne Metallurgical segments based on the primary customer base and coal reserve type of each mining operation. A small portion of the coal mined by the Seaborne Thermal segment is of a metallurgical grade. Similarly, a small portion of the coal mined by the Seaborne Metallurgical segment is of a thermal grade. Additionally, the Company may market some of its metallurgical coal products as a thermal coal product from time to time depending on market conditions.
The Company’s Seaborne Thermal operations consist of mines in New South Wales, Australia. The mines in that segment utilize both surface and underground extraction processes to mine low-sulfur, high Btu thermal coal.
The Company’s Seaborne Metallurgical operations consist of mines in Queensland, Australia, one in New South Wales, Australia and one in Alabama, USA. The mines in that segment utilize both surface and underground extraction processes to mine various qualities of metallurgical coal. The metallurgical coal qualities include hard coking coal, semi-hard coking coal, semi-soft coking coal and pulverized coal injection coal.
The Company’s thermal operating segments in the U.S. are focused on the mining, preparation and sale of thermal coal, sold primarily to electric utilities in the U.S. under long-term contracts, with a relatively small portion sold as international exports as conditions warrant. The Company’s Powder River Basin operations consist of its mines in Wyoming. The mines in that segment are characterized by surface mining extraction processes, coal with a lower sulfur content and Btu and higher customer transportation costs (due to longer shipping distances). The Company’s Other U.S. Thermal operations reflect the aggregation of its Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico and Colorado mining operations. The mines in that segment are characterized by a mix of surface and underground mining extraction processes, coal with a higher sulfur content and Btu and lower customer transportation costs (due to shorter shipping distances). Geologically, the Company’s Powder River Basin operations mine sub-bituminous coal deposits and its Other U.S. Thermal operations mine both bituminous and sub-bituminous coal deposits.
The Company’s Corporate and Other segment includes selling and administrative expenses, results from equity method investments, trading and brokerage activities, minimum charges on certain transportation-related contracts, the closure of inactive mining sites, the impact of foreign currency remeasurement and certain commercial matters.
The Company’s CODM, defined as the President and Chief Executive Officer, uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary financial metric to measure each segment’s operating performance against expected results and to allocate resources, including capital investment in mining operations and potential expansions. Adjusted EBITDA 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 the segments’ operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliations below. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is used by investors to measure the Company’s operating performance. 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.

(1)    Other expenses for the mining operations primarily include lease expense; non-sales related taxes; insurance expense; joint facility charges; and credits related to the capitalization of costs to the balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Seaborne Metallurgical segment includes $80.8 million related to the portion of the Shoal Creek insurance recovery that was applicable to incremental costs and business interruption recoveries.
Total assets are reflected at the division level only for the Company’s operating segments and are not allocated between each individual segment as such information is not regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM. Further, some assets service more than one segment within the division and an allocation of such assets would not be meaningful or representative on a segment by segment basis. Assets related to closed, suspended or otherwise inactive mines are included within the Corporate and Other category. Assets related to the Company’s Centurion Mine, which is in development and targeted to commence longwall production in the first quarter of 2026, are included in the Seaborne division level as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
