Appendix

ARLP EBITDA Reconciliation EBITDA is defined as income before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Management believes EBITDA is a useful indicator of its ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements and uses EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow and does not represent the measure of cash available for distribution. The Partnership's method of computing EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other companies, or EBITDA may be computed differently by the Partnership in different contexts (i.e. public reporting versus computation under financing agreements). Estimate midpoint reflects the Partnership’s most recent guidance. 24 2007E 2003 2004 2005 2006 Mid-point Cash flow provided by operating activities 110,312 $ 145,055 $ 193,618 $ 250,923 $ 253,400 $ Reclamation and mine closing (1,341) (1,622) (1,918) (2,101) (2,200) Coal inventory adjustment to market (687) (488) (573) (319) - Other 353 (255) (2,057) 69 (300) Net effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities (8,240) (12,405) 26,577 (9,429) 6,100 Interest expense 15,981 14,963 11,816 9,175 10,200 Income taxes 2,577 2,682 2,443 2,800 EBITDA 118,955 $ 147,889 $ 230,145 $ 250,761 $ 270,000 $ Depreciation, depletion and amortization (52,495) (53,664) (55,637) (66,489) (86,800) Interest expense (15,981) (14,963) (11,816) (9,175) (10,200) Income taxes (2,577) (2,641) (2,682) (2,443) (2,800) Cumulative effect of accounting change - - - 112 - Minority interest income - - - 161 (200) Net income 47,902 $ 76,621 $ 160,010 $ 172,927 $ 170,000 $ 2,641
