Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Unconditional Purchase Obligations As of September 30, 2025, purchase commitments for capital expenditures were $64.7 million, all of which is obligated within the next 12 months. There were no other material changes to the Company’s commitments from the information provided in Note 21. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Contingencies From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or related to indemnities or historical operations. The Company believes it has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities. The Company discusses its significant legal proceedings below, including ongoing proceedings and those that impacted the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Litigation and Matters Relating to Continuing Operations Arbitration Relating to Terminated Anglo American Acquisition. On November 25, 2024, Peabody entered into definitive agreements (the Purchase Agreements), to acquire from Anglo a portion of the assets and businesses associated with Anglo’s metallurgical coal portfolio in Australia, including Anglo’s interests in the Moranbah North and Grosvenor mines, the Moranbah South development project, the Capcoal complex, the Roper Creek mine and the Dawson complex (comprising the Dawson Main/Central operating mine, the Dawson South operating mine, the Dawson South Exploration project and the Theodore South exploration project, collectively, the Dawson Assets). The Company agreed to, following the prospective closing of the Anglo acquisition, sell the Dawson Assets to BUMA. On August 19, 2025, Peabody terminated the Purchase Agreements. The termination of the Purchase Agreements followed Peabody’s prior delivery of a notice of a Material Adverse Change (MAC) as a result of an ignition event at the Moranbah North mine on March 31, 2025, which had led to the closure of the mine. Following Peabody’s termination of the Purchase Agreements, Anglo returned $29.0 million of the $75.0 million deposit previously paid by Peabody, and Peabody has demanded the outstanding portion of the deposit also be returned. On September 23, 2025, various subsidiaries of Anglo initiated International Chamber of Commerce arbitration proceedings in London, United Kingdom, against Peabody and certain of its affiliates. Anglo’s complaint alleges, among other things, that Peabody wrongfully terminated the Purchase Agreements and seeks, among other things, declarations that the ignition event at the Moranbah North mine did not constitute a MAC, as well as damages for losses in an unspecified amount, plus costs and interest. Peabody remains confident that a MAC occurred, and that it was entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreements. Other At times, the Company becomes a party to other disputes, including those related to contract miner performance, claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, regulatory investigations and administrative procedures in the ordinary course of business in the U.S., Australia and other countries where the Company does business. Based on current information, the Company believes that such other pending or threatened proceedings are likely to be resolved without a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company reassesses the probability and the ability to estimate contingent losses as new information becomes available.
