2013 Market» Although the rate of growth is lower than previous» Although the rate of growth is lower than previous
years, year-on-year demand for seaborne coalcontinues to grow
» Customer requirements are changing• Due to the challenging state of the global economy, customers
are utilizing lower grade coking coals and thermal coals toare utilizing lower grade coking coals and thermal coals toreduce costs
» Pricing in the market is being driven byoversupply
» The Chinese economy, and demand for rawmaterials, is not as dismal as many believe

Seaborne Trade & Consumption Trends for Coal» Regional consumption of coal has changed significantly since
20002000
» Although coal’s portion of the energy mix may be declining inmature and developed economies, coal consumption ismature and developed economies, coal consumption isincreasing in emerging and developing countries
» Coal, as a low cost and reliable source of energy in theseemerging and developing countries is contributing toemerging and developing countries, is contributing toeconomic development and improved living standards for thepeople in these countries
» Investment in coal production, railway infrastructure, coalexport terminals, coal import terminals, and dry bulk carrierswill support the continued growth of coal consumption inth i d d l i t ithese emerging and developing countries

Macro View Seaborne Market » Deja vu all over again:j g
» In the 70’s and 80’s coal producers increased productionto meet what was thought to be an ever growing demandof coal in Japan. Supply overpassed demand.
• The resulting over supply period lasted 20 years
Si 200 i i i d h US$ 0 Billi» Since 2005, it is estimated that US$50 Billion wasinvested in coal production, railway infrastructure, coalexport terminals, coal import terminals, and dry bulkp , p , ycarriers to support what was thought to be an evergrowing demand of coal from China. It appears supplyagain has overpassed demandagain has overpassed demand.
• Can the result be an over supply period lasting ?? years20
Macro View Seaborne Market (2)» Current market conditions influenced more by increasing
supply than demand. Supply has simply increased at afaster pace than the increase in demand
» Prices for thermal and met coals correcting steeply» Prices for thermal and met coals correcting steeplydownward
» Current pricing conditions will lead to a sharp and rapid» Current pricing conditions will lead to a sharp and rapiddecline in supply. Current prices are below cash costsfor all but the lowest cost mines
» Only the low cost mines / producers will manage throughthe correction
The swift decline in prices should accelerate the period» The swift decline in prices should accelerate the periodneeded for supply and demand to reach balance 21

Benchmark & Index Pricing – Thermal Coal» In a oversupplied market, seaborne traded thermal coal
is trading at a discount to the established benchmarksis trading at a discount to the established benchmarks• Current physical transactions in Europe are priced at $2-$3/MT
discount to API2• Current physical transactions for South African coal in India are pricedp y p
at $3-$12/MT discount to the API4 plus quality adjustments for lowercalorific value
» Customers are shifting to lower quality coals i e» Customers are shifting to lower quality coals, i.e.calorific value ranging from 4200 GCV (7560 BTU) to, 5500 GCV (9900 BTU), and reducing the consumptionof coals with higher calorific value (and higher costs)of coals with higher calorific value (and higher costs)
» The Qinghuangdao Index, and the newly establishedAPI8 Index, are set by the price of Chinese domesticy pcoals

Benchmark & Index Pricing – Coking Coal»In a oversupplied market, less than 10% of
b d d ki l i i d hseaborne traded coking coal is priced at the"headline” benchmark price
»Customers are shifting to shorter term pricing• Annual > Quarterly > Monthly > Spot
»Indices are based on thinly traded markets andare struggling to accurately reflect physicaltransactionstransactions
»Increased pricing volatility resulting from thetransition to different pricing methodologytransition to different pricing methodology

SSummary» The global market for both coking coal and thermal
coal continues to grow but is challenged by currentcoa co t ues to g o but s c a e ged by cu e tmarket pricing
» The evolution of pricing models, and changing qualityp g , g g q yrequirements, will cause coal producers to becomemore short term focused
» The current oversupplied market, and low prices, willeventually force coal producers to cut production andreduce investment in new projectsreduce investment in new projects
» Low cost producers will survive and benefit from theadjustment in the marketplaceadjustment in the marketplace
47
G d N / B d N StGood News / Bad News Story
»The good news is that the market seems toghave “bottomed”. Market prices for cokingcoal and thermal coal have stabilized. Sellersare seeing the first signs of improved pricing
»The bad news is that the market, and the,industry, are likely to remain in this low pricedenvironment until annual demand growthabsorbs the excess production currently in themarket and the projects that are in the finalstages of developmentstages of development.
