Recent company guidance. Alliance Resource Partners recently provided first quarter EPS guidance. The company expects to report GAAP first quarter net income of $35.0 million to $37.0 million, or $0.27 to $0.28 per unit, inclusive of a negative $27 million net income impact associated with lower coal shipments due to transportation constraints, and a negative $37 million net income impact associated with the one-time conversion of its oil & gas business to a corporate taxable entity.

Updating 2022 estimates. We have revised our model to better reflect current income tax and the treatment of a one-time non-cash deferred income tax expense and liability. We forecast first quarter and full year 2022 GAAP reported net income of $36.1 million and $363.0 million, respectively, or $0.28 per share and $3.15 per share. On an adjusted basis, we forecast first quarter and full year 2022 net income of $73.1 million and $400.8 million, respectively, or $0.57 and $3.15 per share. Our adjusted net income estimate excludes the one-time impact of converting Alliance Minerals to a corporate taxable entity but reflects lower shipments due to transportation constraints….

We are assuming coverage of PANL maintaining an Outperform rating and a $7.50 price target. We believe PANL will do well in a positive Dry Bulk pricing environment given its low order book and expanded fleet. We view the flexibility and a global presence as attributes that will allow it to take advantage of changing shipping demand. Increased liquidity following insider sales makes investing in PANL easier.

Management laid out a positive case for investing in PANL at NobleCon18. In the presentation, CFO Gianni Del Signore stressed that 1) the company is in a unique position to capitalize on an improving dry bulk market, 2) PANL is a good steward of investor capital that grows the business in a sustainable manner, and 3) its integrated platform results in consistent, higher margins.
