Financial Data
Investors should note that this presentation contains pro forma historical and forecast financial information. The pro forma and forecast financial information, and the historical information, provided in this presentation is for illustrative purposes only and is not represented as being indicative of Yancoal’s views on its future financial condition and/or performance. Investors should note that Watagan Mining Company Pty Ltd ( Watagan ) (which owns the Ashton, Austar and Donaldson mines) is wholly-owned but not controlled by Yancoal under applicable accounting standards, and is therefore not consolidated by Yancoal. Since 31 March 2016, Yancoal has deconsolidated the financial results of Watagan as a subsidiary from its consolidated financial statements.
Investors should be aware that certain financial measures included in this presentation are ‘non-IFRS financial information’ under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: ‘Disclosing non-IFRS financial information’ published by ASIC, and are not recognised under Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The non-IFRS financial information/non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, net debt and others. Such non-IFRS financial information/non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by AAS or IFRS. Therefore, the nonIFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with AAS or IFRS. Although Yancoal believes these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance and condition of its business, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information/non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation.

Guidance for 2019
Yancoal is aiming to balance long-term deleveraging with shareholder returns by:
-
Targeting a long term Net Debt / Operating EBITDA Leverage Ratio of <1.5x
-
Setting a target 2019[(1)] dividend payout ratio of 50% of Net Profit After Tax
Operational guidance:
-
Yancoal consolidated attributable[(2)] saleable coal production 2019 guidance of around 35Mt
-
Yancoal consolidated attributable[(2)] cash cost (excl. Government royalties) 2019 guidance of around A$62.5/t
-
Expected attributable[(2)] capital expenditures of around A$285MM
Notes:
For 2019 Yancoal is targeting a dividend payout of 50% of net profit after tax (adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange hedge reserve movements and any other non-operating items). The payment of dividends by Yancoal is at the discretion of the Directors. The decision as to whether or not a dividend will be paid will be subject to a number of considerations including the general business environment, operating results, cash flows, future capital requirements, regulatory restrictions any any other factors the Directors may consider relevant. No assurances can be given by any person, including the Directors, about the payment of any dividend and the level of franking on any such dividend
Attributable excludes Middlemount (incorporated joint venture and equity-accounted) and Watagan (deconsolidated from Yancoal in March 2016 and equity-accounted)

Moolarben Expansion
Blending
-
Significant amount of coal identified as potential underground targets
-
Conceptual underground mine with an estimated 6Mt of potential ROM coal per annum[(3)]
-
Additional coal tonnage of between 100 and 120Mt could be exploited with extensions to current mine pits[(4)]
-
Integrated mining plan should present upside to the current LOM plan[(5)]
-
Increase in site ROM coal production from 18Mtpa to 24Mtpa through optimising the approved Stage 1 and Stage 2 operations
-
Continued value creation through maximising blending opportunities
-
Blending strategy will optimise mining operations

Potential – Production Estimate of the Prospectus uploaded to ASX on 26 November 2018. To date, all underground mine planning that has been completed is at a conceptual level only and no capital estimate is available. Further drilling and mining studies are required to determine if any resource is economically viable and before any decision on whether to develop the potential expansion project and commit material resources on developing the project can be made

Mine life for Watagan (deconsolidated from Yancoal in March 2016 and equity-accounted) not shown on chart.
-
Mine life of each individual mine calculated as marketable reserves (as at 31 December 2018) divided by CY18 production. Average represents average of each individual mine life
-
Based on a conceptual level study, potential underground targets at MTW have been identified in the Mount Arthur, Vaux and Bayswater seams, which have seam characteristics generally favourable for longwall mining that is currently utilised at our Moolarben, Ashton and Austar mining operations. Based on a conceptual underground mine of an estimated 270Mt of potential ROM coal mineable over an approximate 40 year mine life. Further details and assumptions of the production estimates of the underground mining targets are set out in Appendix III – Competent Person’s Report – HVO / MTW Underground Mining

Based on findings of a third party consultant engaged by Yancoal

Further details and assumptions can be found in Appendix III – Competent Person’s Report – HVO / MTW Underground Mining Potential – Production Estimate of the Prospectus uploaded to ASX on 26 November 2018. Further detailed integrated planning will need to be conducted to confirm the estimated tonnage. We have no current plans to develop this potential expansion project
