… earlier in the release
With our world-class asset base, highly flexible cost structure, and a high-performing workforce, we are well-positioned to capitalize on improved global steel demand when the market turns, while moving forward with our highly disciplined approach to completing the Blue Creek project on time and within budget,” Mr. Scheller concluded. With the addition of Blue Creek, Warrior expects to increase its annual High Vol A production by 4.8 million short tons; enhance its already advantageous position on the global cost curve; drive its cash costs further into the first quartile globally; improve its profitability and cash flow generation; and cement its position as a leading pure play steelmaking coal producer. Operating Results Sales volume in the third quarter of 2024 was 1.9 million short tons compared to 2.3 million short tons in the third quarter of 2023, representing an 17.5% decrease. This 17.5% decrease in sales volume was driven by us being selective with spot sales and exercising patience while we wait for market conditions to improve. The Company produced 1.9 million short tons of steelmaking coal in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 2.0 million short tons in the third quarter of 2023, representing a 3.8% decrease. The timing of a scheduled longwall move in the third quarter slipped to early fourth quarter.
