Third quarter financial results. Alliance reported third quarter adjusted EBITDA and earnings per unit (EPU) of $185.8 million and $0.73, respectively, compared to $170.4 million and $0.66 during the prior year period. We had projected EBITDA and EPU of $176.2 million and $0.68. Total revenue amounted to $571.4 million compared to $613.6 million during the prior year period and our $577.9 million estimate. While revenue from coal sales exceeded our estimate, oil and gas royalties, transportation, and other revenues were below. Third quarter results benefited from expenses that were lower than our estimates and contributions from equity method investments and the change in value of ARLP’s digital assets.
Outlook for the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Management updated its 2025 guidance. Within ARLP’s coal operation, guidance ranges were narrowed. Total sales are expected to be between 32.50 million tons and 33.25 million tons compared to prior guidance of between 32.75 million tons and 34.0 million tons. Within the oil and gas royalty segment, volumes were lowered to reflect the timing of a multi-well pad in the Delaware Basin of the Permian, which is expected to come online in early 2026.
