## Products & services

Warrior’s principal product is non-thermal metallurgical coal, also called hard-coking coal, used to produce coke for steelmaking. Its coal is described as suitable for use as a base-feed coking coal, with reported characteristics including low-to-high volatile matter, low sulfur, high fluidity and high strength; the company also describes its coals as blendable, with low-to-medium ash. [7](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147180881)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P96459035)[1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P92141614)

The company produces Low Vol coal from Mine No. 7 and High Vol A coal from Mine No. 4 and Blue Creek. Mine No. 7 coal has historically realized prices around the Platts Premium Low Vol Australian benchmark, while Mine No. 4 and Blue Creek coals typically trade at a discount. Blue Creek coal is primarily sold to Asian customers on a cost-and-freight basis; sales in the Atlantic and Pacific basins use different benchmark indices. Coal is delivered domestically by rail or truck and shipped internationally by vessel from the Port of Mobile.

Natural gas recovered as a byproduct of underground mining and royalties from leased properties are additional revenue sources; natural-gas sales are included in “other revenues.” For the six months ended June 30, 2026, coal sales were reported as 98.3% of total revenue and other revenues as 1.7%; no breakdown by coal grade or mine was provided.

## Geographic presence

Its principal executive office is in Brookwood, Alabama; Mine No. 4 is about 20 miles east of Tuscaloosa and 30 miles southwest of Birmingham. Coal is transported from the mines by rail and barge to the Port of Mobile for international shipment. [9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147181022)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147181026)[13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P99258630)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147180759)[10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147180900)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147180967)

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, customer sales volume was distributed 55% to Asia, 30% to Europe, 14% to South America, and 1% to the United States; the company notes that this mix varies with order and shipment timing. This is a volume mix, not a regional revenue breakdown. [16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147181121) The 2025 Form 10-K reported more than 1,485 employees as of December 31, 2025; regional employee distribution was not identified.

## Business segments

Warrior Met Coal reports one operating and reportable segment, **Mining**. It comprises Mine No. 4, Mine No. 7 and Blue Creek, and focuses on mining non-thermal steelmaking coal (hard-coking coal) for the global steel industry through underground longwall operations. [18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147181046)[7](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147180881)

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Mining generated $952.1 million of revenue, approximately **98.3%** of the company’s $968.3 million total. “All other” revenue was $16.2 million, or approximately **1.7%**; the company states that its natural-gas and royalty businesses do not qualify as reportable segments and are included in “all other” as a reconciliation to consolidated amounts. [19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T16839762)

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Mining generated $1,277.0 million, approximately **97.5%** of total revenue of $1,310.0 million. “All other” contributed $33.0 million, or approximately **2.5%**, and is not a separate reportable segment.

## Company history

Warrior Met Coal was formed as Warrior Met Coal, LLC on September 3, 2015, by creditors of Walter Energy in connection with acquiring Walter Energy’s Alabama mining assets. The acquisition was agreed through a $1.1 billion credit bid, approved by the bankruptcy court in January 2016, and completed on March 31, 2016. [21](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P185979811)[22](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P185980760)

On April 12, 2017, the company converted to Warrior Met Coal, Inc.; its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange the following day under the ticker HCC, alongside an offering by selling stockholders. [23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P185979799)[24](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P185980390) A later milestone in the company’s development was the start of longwall operations at its Blue Creek project in October 2025, eight months ahead of schedule.
