| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $2.2B | -10.4% | +6.9% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $311.2M | -13.8% | +774.9% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +21.3% | +3.0% | +126.5% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +17.6% | +1.1% | +49.8% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +14.2% | -3.8% | +718.5% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $380.0M | +1.5% | +1172.4% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +17.3% | +13.2% | +1090.4% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 26.0% | -1.9% | +16.1% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.10x | -4.4% | +20.2% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $2.9B | -2.1% | +3.0% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 2.42 vs 2.35 | +2.8% | 0.61 vs 0.82 | -25.4% |

Operator : Greetings, and welcome to the Alliance Resource Partners Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Cary Marshall, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Thank you, sir. You may begin. Cary Marshall : Thank you, operator. Good morning, and welcome, everyone. Earlier today, Alliance Resource Partners released its second quarter 2026 financial and operating results. We will review the quarter, discuss our outlook for the remainder of 2026 and then open the call to answer your questions. Before beginning, a reminder that some of our remarks today may include forward-looking statements, which are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions contained in our filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are also reflected in this morning's press release. While these forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us, if one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those we projected or expected. In providing these remarks, the partnership has no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law to do so. Finally, we will also be discussing certain non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions and reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are contained at the end of ARLP's press release, which has been posted on our website and furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K. With that, I will begin with a review of our second quarter 2026 results, expand on our recently closed Oil & Gas Royalties acquisition and discuss our updated guidance for 2026 before turning the call over to Joe Craft, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, for his comments. Overall, results for the second quarter of 2026, which we refer to as the 2026 quarter, were higher on a year-over-year and sequential basis. Compared to the prior year, which we refer to as the 2025 quarter, total revenues increased to $551.6 million, net income attributable to ARLP increased 33.9% to $79.6 million or $0.61 per basic and diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $185.7 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2026, which we refer to as the sequential quarter, total revenues increased 6.9%, net income increased $70.5 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 19.8%. These results were driven primarily by higher coal sales volumes, improved coal operating cost performance, record results from our Oil & Gas Royalties segment and higher income from our equity method investments, with net income comparisons also affected by impairment charges recorded in the prior …

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
ARLP's coal business continues to remain more resilient than the narrative suggests, with 2026 volumes essentially fully committed and 2027 at 85% committed. Headline pricing is impacted by production/sales mix rather than impairment of the underlying economics. As expected, DCF coverage rebounded sharply to 1.39x in Q2 from 1.00x in Q1, bringing YTD coverage to 1.19x.
CAPL, ARLP and JPM made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) income stocks list on August 10, 2026.
Five dividends land in investor accounts this month, but only for people who own the shares before Friday, August 7.
