Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties arise from the COVID-19 pandemic, including its adverse effects on businesses, economies, and financial markets worldwide; from changes in the demand for our coal by the global electric generation and steel industries; from legislation and regulations relating to the Clean Air Act and other environmental initiatives; from competition within our industry and with producers of competing energy sources; from our ability to successfully acquire or develop coal reserves; from operational, geological, permit, labor and weather-related factors; from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other tax reforms; from the effects of foreign and domestic trade policies, actions or disputes; from fluctuations in the amount of cash we generate from operations, which could impact, among other things, our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares in accordance with our announced capital allocation plan; from our ability to successfully integrate the operations that we acquire; from our ability to complete the joint venture transaction with Peabody Energy in a timely manner, including obtaining regulatory approvals and satisfying other closing conditions; from our ability to achieve expected synergies from the joint venture; from our ability to successfully integrate the operations of certain mines in the joint venture; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. For a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results, you should see the risk factors described from time to time in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and cash costs per ton. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income from operations, cash flows from operations, earnings per fully-diluted share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should be aware that our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.A reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been included at the end of this presentation. 2

11 Arch secured a substantial and profitable book of future contract business for its thermal segment during 2021 During 2021, Arch capitalized on a period of high natural gas prices and tightness in domestic thermal markets to lock in a substantial and advantageous book of future contract business for its thermal mines Arch committed more than 100 million tons of future thermal business – for 2022 and out years – during the course of 2021, and has added onto that book since year-end Arch has now committed a total of 76 million tons of Powder River Basin coal for 2022 delivery, at a record price of around $16.30 per ton ▪ Arch has also signed advantageously priced commitments for a substantial portion of its planned 2023 output, and significant volumes for 2024 and out years as well Arch has sold forward nearly 5 million tons of 2022 output from its West Elk longwall mine in Colorado, at prices that should generate very substantial levels of cash ▪ Arch has already built a solid book of West Elk business for 2023 as well, and is continuing to build out its 2024 and 2025 positions at present – again, at advantageous and cash-generating price levels While Arch continues to explore the potential monetization of its thermal assets, the company’s success in contracting substantial volumes at highly attractive prices has greatly enhanced their value in the marketplace ▪ Arch recently established and began to fund an industry-leading thermal mine reclamation fund for its Powder River Basin operations, thus increasing their marketability while insulating the core metallurgical portfolio from the thermal segment’s long-term closure obligations

Arch’s Deep Commitment to ESG Principles 12 GLOBAL

GRAPHIC

13 Iron ore and metallurgical coal are essential companions in the production of new steel That new steel is critical to the construction of a new economy ▪ Such steel is required for mass transit systems, wind turbines and electric vehicles, as well as continued urbanization Metallurgical coal will be needed for the production of new steel through at least mid-century, according to most forecasts Arch’s metallurgical products are essential to the production of new steel, which in turn is essential to the construction of a new economy

GRAPHIC

14 Our value creation strategy and ESG commitment are well-aligned We are in the midst of a fundamental strategic shift towards global steel and metallurgical markets and away from domestic power and thermal markets Over the course of the past 10 years, we have transformed Arch into a premier producer of high-value metallurgical coal for steel producers Arch continues to harvest significant value from its highly competitive legacy thermal platform while systematically reducing its operating footprint and pre-funding its final mine closure obligations With this transition, our Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions have declined significantly in recent years, and we are aggressively pursuing further structural as well as incremental reductions Our ESG profile has undergone a transformation and is now similar to that of many other major commodities – particularly iron ore, with which it is inextricably bound in the global marketplace Arch has conducted accelerated reclamation at its former mine sites to ensure the highest standards of environmental stewardship as well as to limit long-term holding costs and future regulatory risks

GRAPHIC

Capital Return Program: Next Phase Arch views a robust capital return program as a key component of its long-term value proposition ▪ We paused our capital return program in early 2020 in the face of an initial commodity market pullback, a pandemic, and the strategic decision to continue to move forward with the buildout of Leer South With Leer South now operational, the balance sheet restored to pre-pandemic strength, the thermal mine reclamation fund well- established, and our cash balance projected to grow appreciably in coming quarters, we believe this is the right time to resume our capital return program Arch has announced a new capital allocation formula that calls for quarterly cash dividends in the amount of 50% of the company’s discretionary cash flow, including a small recurring fixed rate dividend and a potentially larger variable rate dividend ▪ Discretionary cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures and thermal mine reclamation fund contributions The remaining 50% of discretionary cash flow would be used for share buybacks, special dividends, the repurchase of potentially dilutive securities, and/or capital preservation, at the board’s discretion ▪ We are preserving the option of some level of “capital preservation” – which is to say cash build beyond liquidity needs – to allow for ongoing (and potentially stepped-up) buybacks at weaker points in the market cycle, and/or to facilitate addressing the convertible securities and/or warrants 19

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures Included in this presentation, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP measures as defined by Regulation G. The following reconciles these items to net income and cash flows as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of sales contracts and non-operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA. 28 Year Ended December 31, 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Period from October 2 through December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Net income (loss) 337,573 $ (344,615) $ 233,799 $ 312,577 $ 238,450 $ 33,449 $ Income tax (benefit) provision 1,874 (7) 248 (52,476) (35,255) 1,156 Interest expense, net 23,344 10,624 6,794 13,689 24,256 10,754 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 120,327 121,552 111,621 130,670 176,449 33,401 Accretion on asset retirement obligations 21,748 19,887 20,548 27,970 30,209 7,633 Asset Impairment and restructuring - 221,380 - - - - Gain on property insurance recovery related to Mountain Laurel longwall - (23,518) - - - - Loss (Gain) on divestitures 24,225 (1,505) 13,312 - (21,297) - Net loss resulting from early retirement of debt and debt restructuring - - - 485 2,547 - Non-service related postretirement benefit costs 4,339 3,884 2,053 3,202 1,940 (32) Reorganization items, net - (26) (24) 1,661 2,398 759 Costs associated with proposed joint venture with Peabody Energy - 16,087 13,816 - - - Preference Rights Lease Application settlement income - - (39,000) - - - Fresh start coal inventory fair value adjustment - - - - - 7,345 Adjusted EBITDA 533,430 23,743 363,167 437,778 419,697 94,465 EBITDA from idled or otherwise disposed operations 2,469 15,858 12,926 2,492 3,253 1,596 Selling, general and administrative expenses 92,342 82,397 95,781 100,300 87,952 23,193 Other (9,702) 3,359 (14,488) 4,099 (6,398) (1,511) Reported segment Adjusted EBITDA from coal operations 618,539 $ 125,357 $ 457,386 $ 544,669 $ 504,504 $ 117,743 $ Segment Adjusted EBITDA MET Thermal Corporate and Other Consolidated (In Thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2021 442,830 $ 175,709 $ (85,109) $ 533,430 $ Year Ended December 31, 2020 91,322 34,035 (101,614) 23,743 $ Year Ended December 31, 2019 305,363 152,023 (94,219) 363,167 Year Ended December 31, 2018 349,524 195,145 (106,891) 437,778 Year Ended December 31, 2017 243,616 260,888 (84,807) 419,697 October 2 through December 31, 2016 30,819 86,924 (23,278) 94,465 Since Emergence 1,463,474 $ 904,724 $ (495,918) $ 1,872,280 $

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures 29 The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP Segment cash cost per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items for this non-GAAP measure are transportation costs, which are a component of GAAP revenues and cost of sales; the impact of hedging activity related to commodity purchases that do not receive hedge accounting; and idle and administrative costs that are not included in a reportable segment. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts transportation costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts the impact of hedging activity related to commodity purchases that do not receive hedge accounting due to fluctuations in commodity prices, which are difficult to forecast due to their inherent volatility. These amounts have historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results. Idle and administrative costs that are not included in a reportable segment are expected to be between $15 million and $20 million in 2019.
