The carrying amounts for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

The fair value of our digital assets is based on an exchange quoted price.  See Note 6 – Digital Assets for more information on our digital assets.

The fair value measurement of our contingent consideration liability is determined using an option approach methodology simulation based on significant inputs not observable in active markets representing a Level 3 fair value measurement under the fair value hierarchy. Our contingent consideration liability is associated with our acquisition of our Hamilton County Coal, LLC (“Hamilton”) mine in 2015 wherein we agreed to pay the seller additional consideration for the acquisition if the average quarterly sales price exceeds a defined threshold price in any future quarters subject to a maximum of $110.0 million reduced for any payments made under an overriding royalty agreement with the sellers relating to mineral interests controlled by our Hamilton mine. We have paid $14.1 million under this contingent consideration agreement and $0.3 million under the overriding royalty agreement as of June 30, 2025.

The fair value measurement of our debt securities is determined using a combination of market approaches and option-pricing models which utilize significant inputs not observable in active markets representing a Level 3 fair value measurement under the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 – Investments for additional information on our debt securities.

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including current maturities, is based on interest rates that we believe are currently available to us in active markets for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. See Note 8 – Long-Term Debt for additional information on our long-term debt.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Contingent Consideration

Our option approach methodology simulation for contingent consideration generates an expected payment for each quarter in Hamilton’s mine life by using proprietary internal estimates of our uncommitted coal sales prices and generating a simulated uncommitted coal sales price by applying unobservable inputs through a million simulations. This simulated coal sales price is then used in a calculation of the expected future payments using our proprietary committed coal sales prices and production for each quarter. We then calculate the present value of the estimated future payments. The following table presents quantitative information about certain significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for our contingent consideration liability. The use of significant unobservable inputs results in uncertainty as of the reporting date, as changes in these unobservable inputs could significantly raise or lower the estimated fair value.

Debt Securities

The fair value of our debt securities is determined using a combination of market approaches and option-pricing models. The underlying enterprise value is estimated using income and market approaches which utilize discounted cash flows and market participant values for assets in hypothetical sales scenarios. The enterprise value is then utilized in market approach models and option-pricing models taking into account the rights and preferences of the convertible notes, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to arrive at a fair value. The following table presents quantitative information about certain significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement. The use of significant unobservable inputs results in uncertainty as of the reporting date, as changes in these unobservable inputs could significantly raise or lower the estimated fair value.
