FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2004
Arch Coal, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
|X| Revenue increases to $422.8 million, up 12% vs. the same period last year
|X| Earnings per fully diluted share rises to $0.17 ($0.20 excluding
swap-related charge), vs. a net loss in 2Q03
|X| Adjusted EBITDA increases 19% to $65.4 million

Virginia
St. Louis - Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE:ACI) today reported that for its second
quarter ended June 30, 2004, it had income available to common shareholders of
$9.3 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share. Excluding charges related to the
termination of hedge accounting for interest rate swaps, income available to
common shareholders totaled $11.2 million, or $0.20 per fully diluted share.
During the same period of 2003, Arch recorded a net loss available to common
shareholders of $3.3 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share. Excluding
special items of $4.0 million principally related to the early extinguishment of
debt, Arch had income available to common shareholders of $0.7 million, or $0.01
per fully diluted share, during the 2003 quarter.
"During the quarter, Arch reported dramatically improved results due to
higher average sales realizations, growing premiums for its low-sulfur coal, and
overall strengthening in U.S. coal demand," said Steven F. Leer, Arch's
president and chief executive officer. "If not for previously disclosed
disruptions in rail service at several of our operations, Arch's results would
have been even stronger. In total, missed shipments and production curtailments
related to high inventory levels cost the company an estimated $8 million during
the period."
Revenues increased 12% for the quarter to $422.8 million, compared to
$378.9 million during the same period last year, due to stronger realizations in
both the East and West. Sales volumes increased 3% to 26.4 million tons,
reflecting an increase of 1.5 million tons, or 8.7%, at Arch's western
operations, but offset somewhat by a decline of 0.8 million tons, or 9.6%, in
the East. Operating income for the second quarter totaled $24.9 million, which
was nearly three times higher than the $9.4 million recorded during the same
period last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% to $65.4 million, compared to
$54.8 million in the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income available to common
shareholders increased to $22.5 million, or $0.41 per fully diluted share,
excluding a net gain of $81.9 million associated with the sale of nearly all of
its remaining interest in Natural Resource Partners, charges related to the
termination of hedge accounting for interest rate swaps, and severance costs
associated with the closing of the Skyline Mine in Utah. That compares to a loss
of $13.7 million, or $.26 per fully diluted share, excluding charges related to
early debt extinguishment and the cumulative effect of accounting change, during
the same period of 2003. Total coal sales for the six months increased 17% to
$826.3 million and coal sales volumes increased 8% to 52.3 million tons, vs.
$706.3 million and 48.3 million tons in the comparable period of 2003. Adjusted
EBITDA totaled $212.8 million for the first six months of 2004, compared to
$93.5 million for the same period of 2003.
Improving profit margins in both East and West
For the quarter, Arch's average per-ton operating margin rose to $1.45 per
ton, compared to $0.88 per ton during the same period last year.
Average realization for all tons sold increased 8% to $15.59 per ton, while
the average cost across all tons increased approximately 4.7% to $14.14. By
region, average realization per ton sold increased 22% in the East to $36.21 and
5% in the West to $7.67, as the company benefited from stronger contract prices
in both regions and very attractive margins on limited spot sales in the East.
Rail difficulties resulted in missed shipments in both the East and West,
including some of the company's highest margin eastern business. In addition,
the company was forced to curtail production during the quarter at the West Elk
mine in Colorado and the Black Thunder mine in Wyoming due to high inventory
levels stemming from insufficient rail service. Inventory levels increased more
than 30% to 9.4 million tons during the year's first half.
Average per-ton operating cost for all tons sold rose approximately 4.7%
during the quarter vs. the same period last year. Average per-ton operating cost
in the West increased approximately 4.6% to $6.79 due principally to
rail-related production constraints as well as higher sales-sensitive costs
related to improved realizations. In the East, the average per-ton operating
cost increased 16% to $33.29 as a result of lower volumes, higher commodity
costs (diesel fuel, explosives and steel), and increased contract mining
expenses, as well as higher sales-sensitive costs. In addition, the company
incurred higher coal preparation and purchased coal costs associated with an
ongoing effort to shift more of its eastern production into the metallurgical
market. During the quarter, the company sold approximately 650,000 tons of
metallurgical coal, an increase of 70% compared to the same period last year.
"We continue to focus on managing our costs effectively and running our
operations in a manner that will enable us to capitalize on opportunities in the
marketplace," Leer said. "Arch's operations in both the East and West rank among
the most productive and lowest cost in their respective operating regions. With
improved rail service and the completion of several small-scale expansion
projects in the East, we expect continued margin expansion and increased levels
of profitability across all of our operations."

development work at the Mountain Laurel complex during the year's second half.
Projected DD&A includes Canyon Fuel at 100% for the third and fourth quarters.
Projected capital spending and DD&A do not include other potential acquisitions
or reserve additions.
Coal markets continue to strengthen
During the quarter, spot prices for many coal products rose to their
highest levels in many years as an expanding economy boosted power demand;
coal-based utilities sought to rebuild rapidly depleting stockpiles; and eastern
coal producers struggled to keep pace with demand.
"It is becoming increasingly evident that the fuels with which coal has
competed for decades - nuclear, natural gas and hydroelectric - are simply
incapable of keeping pace with America's growing demand for power," Leer said.
"As a result, domestic coal demand is booming - and the domestic coal market
appears to be at the outset of a long and sustained run."
Rapid declines in coal stockpiles at U.S. power plants are one indication
of the market's staying power, according to Leer. "Based on an estimated
increase in electric output of 2.4% year to date, according to Edison Electric
Institute, we expect that the amount of coal in power industry stockpiles will
fall to well under 100 million tons by year's end," Leer said. "That should act
as a powerful stimulus for an extended period of vigorous demand as utilities
seek to rebuild stockpiles at their coal-based power plants, which are
increasingly viewed as their most economic, reliable and strategic sources of
power."
In addition to strong domestic demand, world coal markets are showing
similar signs of strength, boosted by increasing coal consumption in some of the
world's fastest growing economies, including China and India, according to Leer.
Robust international demand - coupled with a rejuvenated global steel industry -
has greatly enhanced the outlook for U.S. coal exports, which are up an
estimated four million tons, or 25%, through the end of May.
In addition, sulfur dioxide emissions allowance credits are now trading at
over $500 per ton, nearly four times higher than the level just 18 months ago.
"Since the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Arch has pursued
focused growth in the nation's three principal low-sulfur coal regions," Leer
said. "As a result, we are extremely well positioned to capitalize on the
current market environment and the significant premiums being paid for lower
sulfur coals."
Development work to commence at Mountain Laurel during third quarter
In July, Arch received the last major permit needed to begin development
work on a new longwall mine, located at the Mountain Laurel complex in Logan
County, West Virginia. "Arch's extensive reserve base creates many attractive
opportunities for profitable growth," Leer said. "We view Mountain Laurel as one
of the best undeveloped longwall reserves in the eastern low-sulfur coalfields."
The Mountain Laurel longwall mine is expected to produce five million tons
of coal on an annualized basis once it ramps to full production in mid-2007.
Initial production should begin in late 2005. The mine's entire output will be
available for sale as either a metallurgical coal or a high-quality steam coal,
depending on market dynamics at the time. Arch expects to invest approximately
$190 million to develop the longwall operation.
"Once development work is completed, we expect Mountain Laurel to become
the centerpiece of our eastern operations," Leer said. "It is a unique property
that should rank among the most productive and lowest cost operations in the
region for many years to come." The start-up of the Mountain Laurel longwall is
expected to coincide with the projected depletion of the Mingo Logan longwall
reserves in late 2006.
Other recent developments
On July 15, Arch announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to
acquire the remaining 35% interest in Canyon Fuel Company. The present value of
the purchase price less cash acquired totals approximately $98 million. Canyon
Fuel will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch Coal following the closing of
the transaction, which is expected to occur sometime during the third quarter.
"This acquisition solidifies Arch's position as the leading coal producer in the
Western Bituminous Region," Leer said. "Demand for western bituminous coal has
increased significantly in recent months, as eastern utilities seek alternatives
for high-Btu, low-sulfur eastern coals, which remain in short supply. Through
the integration of our West Elk mine in Colorado and the Canyon Fuel operations
in Utah, we have established a strategic platform that will enable us to compete
aggressively for this business."
Arch also continues to pursue the acquisition of Triton Coal Company's
North Rochelle mine. As previously announced, the Federal Trade Commission filed
a lawsuit in late March 2004 to block the acquisition. Arch defended the
transaction in a hearing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
that concluded on July 20. The court is expected to render a decision during the
third quarter on whether to enjoin the transaction from proceeding. "While we
hope for a favorable decision, Arch has incurred certain acquisition-related
costs - totaling approximately $12 million through June 30 - that would be
expensed immediately should the Triton transaction fail to be consummated," Leer
noted.
Arch ended the quarter with $296.3 million of cash on its balance sheet.
The company plans to use approximately $60 million of that cash to finance the
acquisition of Itochu's 35% stake in Canyon Fuel. The remainder - as well as
approximately $280 million in capacity under the company's existing revolver -
is available to fund other growth initiatives, including the potential
acquisition of Triton's North Rochelle mine. In addition, the company's Arch
Western subsidiary has an undrawn term loan of $100 million that could be used
to fund the potential acquisition of Triton.
Contract activity
Capitalizing on the market's current strength, Arch acted to lock in
pricing on a percentage of its unpriced tonnage during the second quarter. The
company signed attractive new commitments that increased the percentage of coal
already priced for delivery in 2005 from approximately 65% to 75%, and in 2006
from approximately 50% to 60%.
"An increasingly attractive contract portfolio and a significant open
market position for future production should lead to significant improvements in
our average per-ton realizations across all regions in coming quarters," Leer
said.
Looking ahead
Arch expects to record earnings of between $0.15 and $0.25 per share for
the third quarter, excluding charges related to the termination of hedge
accounting for interest rate swaps, with actual results dependent in large part
on rail performance. Rail service is expected to improve as the year progresses,
according to Leer.
"Despite rail-related challenges that are incorporated in our third quarter
earnings estimate, we expect strong upward momentum in earnings in future
periods," Leer said. "The fourth quarter is expected to be our strongest of the
year, and we anticipate even greater improvements in earnings next year, when an
increasing percentage of our production is expected to reflect recent market
conditions."
A conference call concerning second quarter earnings will be webcast live
today at 11 a.m. Eastern. The conference call can be accessed via the "investor"
section of the Arch Coal Web site (www.archcoal.com).
Arch Coal is one of the nation's largest coal producers, with subsidiary
operations in West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
Through these operations, Arch Coal provides the fuel for approximately 6% of
the electricity generated in the United States.
