ST. LOUIS
(July 24, 2009) — Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE: ACI) today reported a net loss of $15.1
million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009 compared with net income
of $113.0 million, or $0.78 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008. The company
recorded adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization
(“EBITDA”) of $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus adjusted EBITDA of $240.9 million
in the prior-year period when coal markets were at a peak.
During the second quarter of 2009, sales volumes were reduced by 20 percent and revenues
declined 29 percent versus the year-ago quarter, consistent with previously announced expectations.
Results for the quarter just ended also included $3.0 million of expenses associated with Arch’s
pending acquisition of the Jacobs Ranch mine.
“As expected, our financial results reflect the impact of four longwall moves in the quarter
and further reductions in volume levels to match curtailed demand,” said Steven F. Leer, Arch’s
chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe that the trough of the current coal market cycle
has been reached, and anticipate better industry supply and demand balance and improving company
financial performance in the second half of the year.”
During the first half of 2009, Arch earned net income of $15.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of
$187.4 million. Company results included $6.4 million of acquisition-related expenses pertaining
to Jacobs Ranch. By comparison, Arch earned net income of $194.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of
$430.4 million during the first half of 2008 when market conditions were much stronger.

“Arch remains focused on managing through a challenging 2009,” said Leer. “We are continuing
our aggressive efforts to reduce operating costs and capital spending across the organization to
ensure profitability despite extremely weak market conditions.”
“Looking ahead, we are positioning the company to capitalize on the inevitable rebound in coal
demand,” continued Leer. “While trends remain generally soft for the broader U.S. economy and for
our customers, we are encouraged by the swift pace of domestic coal supply rationalization, signs
that the economic recession has bottomed out and recovering global and domestic steel utilization.
These trends — along with the resumption of power demand growth — will help improve coal market
fundamentals.”
Operational Results
“Arch’s operational performance in the second quarter of 2009 relative to the first quarter
was hampered by lower average price realizations in our Powder River Basin and Central Appalachian
regions as well as the cost impact of lower volumes and four longwall moves,” said John W. Eaves,
Arch’s president and chief operating officer.
“For the remainder of 2009, we anticipate improving operational performance,” added Eaves.
“This includes expected stabilization in coal markets, continued progress on recent and ongoing
cost-containment efforts at our operations and only one scheduled longwall move in the second half
of the year.”

Consolidated tons sold were reduced by 3.2 million tons in the second quarter of 2009 versus
the already reduced volume levels in the first quarter, reflecting additional equipment idling,
planned production reductions and continued weak market demand. Average sales price decreased
$1.51 per ton over the same time period, due to a larger percentage of Powder River Basin coal in
the company’s overall volume mix coupled with lower price realizations in the Powder River Basin
and in Central Appalachia. Second quarter 2009 consolidated per-ton operating costs declined
slightly versus the first quarter, benefiting from a larger percentage of Powder River Basin
production and improved cost containment from that segment. Arch earned $0.69 per ton in
consolidated operating margin in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $2.04 per ton in the
first quarter.

In the Powder River Basin, second quarter 2009 volumes were reduced by 1.8 million tons from
the first quarter, reflecting the idling of a second dragline and associated equipment at the Black
Thunder mine in early May. Average sales price fell by $0.69 per ton over the same time period,
resulting from lower pricing on market-indexed tons. Second quarter
2009 operating costs per ton decreased slightly versus the
first quarter, driven by cost containment efforts which helped offset the impact of lower
volumes and higher hedged diesel prices. Arch’s Powder River Basin segment earned $0.72 per ton of
operating margin in the second quarter of 2009 versus $1.33 per ton in the first quarter.

In the Western Bituminous region, second quarter 2009 volumes were reduced by 0.5 million tons
from the first quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of three longwall moves in the region.
Average sales price increased $1.82 per ton over the same time period, resulting from a more
favorable mix of customer shipments offset somewhat by quality-related discounts stemming from
continuing coal quality issues on a portion of the production at the West Elk mine in Colorado.
Second quarter 2009 operating costs rose by $1.16 per ton versus the
first quarter due to the lost production from the
longwall moves. The Western Bituminous region incurred an operating loss of $1.56 per ton in the
second quarter of 2009 compared with a loss of $2.22 per ton in the first quarter.
Looking ahead, Arch has chosen to further curtail production at West Elk due to elevated
levels of lower quality, mid-ash coal currently being produced at the mine resulting from
intermittent sandstone intrusions in the E-seam. For full year 2009, the company now expects West
Elk to produce between 3.5 million and 4.0 million tons compared with a normalized production level
of around 6.5 million tons. Arch estimates that the challenges at West Elk will cost the company
between $50 million and $75 million in lost operating income during 2009.
“The
coal quality issues at West Elk coupled with declining demand from power generators and
industrial customers for Western Bituminous coal has reduced the market for
3
mid-ash coal — a
product that could be more easily placed under better market conditions,” said Eaves. “As a
result, we have reduced production at West Elk in the near term to better manage our level of mid-ash
product. We are also actively moving forward with the planning and design of a preparation plant
at the mine, which we view as the long-term solution to any continuing coal quality issues there.
Our goal is to build the plant by mid-2010, with estimated capital costs of $25 million to $30
million.”

In Central Appalachia, second quarter 2009 volumes were reduced by 0.8 million tons compared
with the first quarter, reflecting lower shipment levels across all mining complexes in the region.
Average price realizations declined $2.81 per ton over the same time period due to reduced
metallurgical coal shipments and lower pricing on metallurgical coal
sales. Second quarter 2009 operating costs rose
by $5.36 per ton versus the first quarter, driven by the impact of lower volumes across
all operations. Arch’s Central Appalachian segment contributed $3.36 per ton in operating margin
in the second quarter of 2009 versus $11.53 per ton in the first quarter.
Key Pillars
Several of Arch’s operations achieved key milestones in safety and environmental performance
during the first half of 2009. In particular, five mining operations
and facilities attained a
Perfect Zero — achieving a dual goal of operating without a reportable safety incident or
environmental violation — for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Arch’s Powder River Basin operations excelled in terms of safety performance. During the
second quarter of 2009, Black Thunder surpassed 2.5 million employee-hours and Coal Creek surpassed
1 million employee-hours without a lost-time safety incident. Coal Creek also was honored by the
Wyoming State Mine Inspector for its superior 2008 safety record.
In the Western Bituminous region, the Skyline mine in Utah was recognized for a third
consecutive year by the Rocky Mountain Coal Mining Institute as the 2009 Safety Award recipient
based on its total incident rate compared to other underground mines in an eight-state region.
Also, the Sufco mine in Utah earned an environmental certificate of appreciation from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture for its support of wildlife programs on national forest lands.
In Central Appalachia, Coal-Mac continued its excellent safety performance, surpassing 2.4
million employee-hours without a lost-time safety incident in May. “We commend the employees
across our operations for these milestone achievements, which further underscore our
4
commitment to achieving a best-in-class safety and environmental record,” said Eaves.
Coal Market Trends
Arch currently believes that coal markets are in the process of bottoming out, as evidenced by
the following:
| • | Power generation declined 4.2 percent year-to-date through the third week of July, according to the Edison Electric Institute. However, Arch expects the rate of decline in power demand to moderate as 2009 progresses due to signs of modest economic improvement and easier comparisons versus the second half of last year. | ||
| • | Arch estimates that coal consumption used in power generation declined more than 10 percent through the end of June 2009. Arch also believes that weak industrial demand was the primary reason for this decline because geographic regions that traditionally rely more heavily on coal-fueled generation have been disproportionately impacted by the U.S. economic recession. However, as manufacturing activity begins to pick up and the domestic economy resumes its growth pattern, coal demand should particularly benefit. | ||
| • | Coal production declined 5.6 percent year-to-date through July 11, according to government estimates. Supply rationalization accelerated throughout the second quarter, and Arch anticipates further production curtailment during the second half of 2009. Consequently, the company believes that domestic coal production is on pace to decline by more than 100 million tons in 2009. | ||
| • | Despite a mild start to the summer demand season, U.S. generator coal stockpiles should peak during the summer on a seasonally adjusted basis as domestic coal production and consumption come into better balance. | ||
| • | While weak near-term natural gas prices remain a concern for coal, the swift and drastic decline in rig counts and the associated under-investment across the natural gas sector should begin to improve fundamentals during the next 12 months. | ||
| • | Demand stability in Asia, particularly driven by increased coal imports in China and India, has supported seaborne coal demand and could create pull for U.S. coal exports. Improving global and domestic steel utilization also should benefit metallurgical coal demand and create a spillover effect for steam coal. Additionally, ongoing supply constraints in traditional coal export nations could once again tighten seaborne coal supply as demand recovers. |
“We believe coal fundamentals are poised to improve over the
next 12 months, and we remain very bullish on coal markets over the intermediate and long
term,” said Leer. “A
growing U.S. population and rising GDP will increase power demand, while ongoing rationalization of
high-cost coal mines should lead to a healthier supply equation. New coal plants that start up in
the next 40 months will also boost domestic coal demand by an estimated 55 million tons annually.
Additionally, a sustainable U.S. coal export market could develop as
5
global coal consumption growth
has continued to outpace growth in other fuels since 2000.”
Sales Contract Portfolio
Arch has further reduced its forecasted sales volumes in 2009 to reflect production
curtailment at West Elk and continued softness in coal demand that has resulted in some pushback of
tonnage under several existing sales contracts. The company now projects sales volumes from
company-controlled operations of 114 million to 118 million tons for the full year, excluding
purchased coal from third parties.
Given revised volume levels and some sales commitments signed in the second quarter, Arch now
has coal volumes of roughly 3 million tons left to be priced in 2009. Based on current production
levels, the company also has uncommitted volumes of 15 million to 25 million tons in 2010, and
uncommitted volumes of 65 million to 75 million tons in 2011. In addition, Arch has approximately
10 million tons of coal committed but not yet priced in 2010 and 2011.
“We have reduced some of our sales exposure in 2010 while continuing to implement our strategy
of operating at reduced volume levels in the bottom of the market cycle,” said Leer. “At the same
time, we have maintained the capacity necessary to respond to the next market upturn — which we
believe will deliver a significant rebound in coal demand. We expect coal markets to strengthen
markedly during the course of 2010 and 2011, and we are well positioned to capitalize.”
Capital Spending and Liquidity
Arch substantially reduced its capital spending levels during the first half of 2009. For the
full year, the company is further trimming its capital expenditures beyond the previously announced
reduced levels. Arch now expects to spend $160 million to $170 million for capital programs,
excluding acquisitions, and $130 million to $150 million for land and reserve additions in 2009.
Arch
ended the second quarter of 2009 with $1.4 billion in debt and maintained its
debt-to-total-capital ratio at 45 percent. At June 30, the company had $476 million of committed
total liquidity, comprised of $51 million of cash on hand and $425 million available to be borrowed
under its revolving credit facility.
“We continue to trim our discretionary capital spending during this weak market period, with a
goal of reducing our overall expenditures by at least $190 million from last year’s levels,” said
John T. Drexler, Arch’s senior vice president and chief financial officer. “This reduction helps
to maintain our solid liquidity position and better aligns capital spending with our 2009 volume
expectations.”
2009 Guidance
Based on the company’s current expectations and absent any effect of the pending Jacobs Ranch
transaction, Arch is reducing its sales volume and capital spending guidance as previously
indicated, while tightening its 2009 earnings forecast as follows:
| • | Earnings per fully diluted share in the $0.25 to $0.55 range. |
6
| • | Adjusted EBITDA in the $403 million to $462 million range. | ||
| • | Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $295 million to $303 million. |
“As our full year guidance suggests, we expect to profitably manage through the trough of the
current energy market cycle,” said Leer. “Our low-cost, diverse and national mining scope
creates the operational flexibility needed to adhere to our market-driven philosophy of
matching production levels to market demand. Moreover, we are
actively pursuing a growth strategy during this period of market
weakness as we position the company to seize the full value-creating
potential that will be available during the market rebound.”
A conference call discussing Arch Coal’s second quarter 2009 financial results will be webcast
live today, at 11 a.m. E.D.T. The conference call can be accessed via the “investor”
section of the Arch Coal Web site (www.archcoal.com <http://www.archcoal.com>).
St. Louis-based Arch Coal is one of the largest U.S. coal producers, with revenues of $3.0
billion in 2008. Through its national network of mines, Arch supplies cleaner-burning, low-sulfur
coal to fuel roughly 6 percent of the nation’s electricity. The company also ships coal to
domestic and international steel manufacturers as well as international power producers.
Forward-Looking Statements: This press release 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 changes in the demand for our coal by the domestic electric
generation industry; from legislation and regulations relating to the Clean Air Act and other
environmental initiatives; from operational, geological, permit, labor and weather-related factors;
from fluctuations in the amount of cash we generate from operations; from future integration of
acquired businesses; 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
(In thousands)
Included in the accompanying release, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP measures as defined by
Regulation G. The following reconciles these items to net income as reported under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before the effect of net interest
expense, income taxes and our depreciation, depletion and amortization; less the income or
loss of subsidiaries attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and items excluded to calculate 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. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA
presents a useful measure of our ability to service and incur debt based on ongoing
operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate
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.
