FISHERS, INDIANA / ACCESSWIRE / July 22nd,
2019 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: AREC), a supplier of raw
materials to the rapidly growing global infrastructure marketplace,
with a primary focus on the extraction, processing, transportation
and distribution of metallurgical coal to the steel industry, is
pleased to announce its preliminary unaudited revenue for its
second quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company announced
preliminary revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of
approximately $9.30 million. This preliminary revenue for the
Company’s fiscal second quarter of 2019 represents a
year-over-year increase of approximately 32% when compared to the
same 3-month period last year and a 33% increase when compared to
the Company’s revenue reported in the first fiscal quarter of
2019, which ended March 31, 2019. The growth in revenue is a result
of the Company’s organic growth plan to expand its production
of metallurgical coal throughout its operations in the Central
Appalachian basin.
Organic Initiates
The
Company, given its focus on metallurgical coal, has several
attractive organic growth opportunities that have been put into its
planning and development schedule. Over the course of the next six
months the Company is putting a focus on expanding the production
that utilizes the McCoy Elkhorn Coal complex. The invested capital
is forecasted to have a payback of less than 12
months.
Based
on organic growth from its already owned infrastructure, controlled
mining permits and its capital investment schedule, the company is
targeting a 2020 forecast range of 2.2 to 2.8 million tons of
production.
Strategic Initiates
American
Resources is constantly evaluating strategic initiatives to further
grow its asset base, expand its operational footprint, and
consolidate quality assets under its efficient, low-cost operating
structure. With the most recent developments within the industry,
there has been a series of attractive assets that have fallen into
financial duress. Along with distressed assets, there are also a
number of stranded assets the Company is evaluating that could
potentially fit nicely within its core infrastructure. The
management team remains focused on identifying accretive growth in
the metallurgical coal sector and believes they are very well
suited to be able to capitalize on such opportunities now and in
the future.
“Organically
and through strategic initiatives, we are very excited about the
potential to expand our business in an accretive manner. Any
acquisition of assets, mining permits or operations will be only
those that are strategic to our existing operations and expansion
plans in the metallurgical coal marketplace. We believe that the
need for advanced and improved infrastructure to make the world
more efficient and safe is imperative. We are truly excited to do
our part to support this initiative.” commented Mark Jensen,
Chairman and CEO of American Resources Corporation. “With the
support of our various industry partners, we are excited about the
possibility to selectively acquire attractive assets and
operations, continue to employ the dedicated men and women at these
operations, and continue being a good steward of the
environment”.
