FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) provided throughout this press release, Contura has presented the following non-GAAP financial measure, which management uses to gauge operating performance: Adjusted EBITDA.  This non-GAAP financial measure excludes various items detailed in the attached reconciliation table.

The definition of this non-GAAP measure may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends.  This measure is not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, it is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance that management finds useful in assessing the Company's financial performance and believes is useful to securities analysts, investors and others in assessing the Company's performance over time.  Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
