Analysis · BTU · Energy & Transportation
The Jefferies conference presentation provides the first detailed operational update since the Q2 miss and Centurion commissioning setbacks. Centurion's Q3 quarter-to-date yield jumped to 69% from 59% in Q2, August production hit 222K tons, and the longwall is approaching full run rate with Q4 guidance of 1M+ tons — evidence the mine is finally executing after months of delays. The deck also quantifies the Wilpinjong export expansion at ~$150M incremental 2030 Adjusted EBITDA and confirms the convertible note refinance reduced potential dilution by 6.2 million shares. For a company that just posted a $90.6M quarterly loss and faces a $755M arbitration claim, these operational milestones are the first concrete signs the Centurion thesis is back on track.
