Walter Energy (TSX:WLT) almost doubles Q1 earnings to $81.8; credits high prices – Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (April 21, 2011) Clearlease.com Reports Metallurgical coal producer Walter Energy (TSX:WLT) announced Thursday April 21, 2001 that it credits some of the highest prices for coking coal that it has ever seen for almost doubling first-quarter 2011 profits.

The Tampa, Fla.,-based company which recently took over Vancouver-based Western Coal in a $3.3-billion deal, said it earned $81.8 million or $1.53 per diluted share in the three months ended March 31.

That compared with $41.6 million or 77 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010. Revenues for the quarter ended march 31 totalled $408.7 million, up from $312 million in the prior-year period.

The results did not include earnings from Western Coal, acquired April 1 by Walter Energy, the world’s leading publicly traded pure play producer of metallurgical coal for the global steel industry. However, they did include $9.9 million in costs associated with the acquisition.

“We generated strong year-over-year growth in revenues and income, driven primarily by the third-highest coking coal pricing we have ever achieved,” said CEO Keith Calder.

“Now that our acquisition of Western Coal is complete, we can turn our attention to delivering on our promises, executing integration activities and framing future growth opportunities.”

Share in Walter Energy, which reported after markets closed, were down 95 cents at $124.82 Wednesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
