Peabody Energy Corporation

Peabody Energy Corporation reported a net loss of $42.5 million for fiscal year 2025, with revenue from physical coal sales of $3.86 billion.

Despite the net loss, operating cash flow was strong at $333.7 million, supported by significant non-cash adjustments including $384.5 million in depreciation. The company ended the year with $1.38 billion in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, though this represented a $98.1 million decrease from the prior period. Capital expenditures of $411.4 million and dividend payments of $36.5 million contributed to negative free cash flow.
