CONSOL Coal (CCR) Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Miss
Read MoreHide Full Article
CONSOL Coal Resources LP’s first-quarter 2019 operating earnings of 54 cents per unit beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 45 cents by 20%. However, the reported earnings declined 30.8% from the prior-year quarter.
Revenues
Revenues of $86.1 million lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $87 million by 1.1%. Total revenues also declined 8.9% from $95 million recorded in the year-ago period. The year-over-year decline was attributable to lower contribution from its segments.
Highlights of the Release
CONSOL Coal’s first-quarter production of 1.7 million tons was in line with the year-ago level. During the quarter, coal production marginally rose from the prior-year level due to increased production at the Enlow Fork mine, offset by reduced production at the Bailey mine, resulting from a longwall move and other operational delays.
Total costs in first-quarter 2019 were $70.9 million, down 2.3% from $72.5 million in the year-ago period.
