Company Reports Earnings From Continuing Operations of $1.75 per Diluted Share for Fourth Quarter and $7.25 per Diluted Share for Full Year 2010


$1.6 Billion in Full-Year 2010 Revenues on Record Coking Coal Sales of 7.2 Million Tons


Fourth Quarter EBITDA Triples to $171.5 Million; Full-Year EBITDA Climbs to Nearly $700 Million


Acquisition of Western Coal Corp. Progressing; Closing Anticipated on April 1, 2011


TAMPA, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/11 -- Walter
Energy
(NYSE: WLT), a leading U.S. producer and exporter of premium hard coking coal for the
global steel industry, today announced earnings from continuing operations
of $1.75 per diluted share and EBITDA of $171.5 million for the quarter
ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared to earnings from continuing operations of
$0.62 per diluted share and EBITDA of $55.6 million in the fourth quarter
2009.


The Company also reported full-year 2010 earnings from continuing
operations of $7.25 per diluted share and EBITDA of $692.8 million compared
to full year 2009 earnings of $2.64 per diluted share and EBITDA of $275.1
million.


'We generated strong fourth quarter earnings on higher coking coal sales
volumes and prices,' said Walter Energy Interim Chief Executive Officer Joe
Leonard. 'For the full year, earnings increased by almost 175 percent over
2009, reflecting strong pricing and production growth from our organic
growth initiatives. Globally, events continue to limit availability of
premium coking coals and we see supply-demand imbalance continuing in our
favor as global steel production improves on its record 2010 output.'


'Strategically, we continue to make excellent progress on our
transformative acquisition of Western Coal, which, when completed, will
make Walter Energy the leading, publicly traded 'pure play' coking coal
producer in the world. In addition, the combination increases the size,
scale and diversity of our operations, significantly enhancing the
Company's financial profile and geographic reach, particularly into Asia.
We also recently completed the acquisition of a river terminal facility at
the Port of Mobile to ensure unconstrained shipping capacity for our
long-term coking coal production plans from our mines in Alabama, to
maintain low mine-to-vessel costs and to make us less reliant on third
parties,' he said.


Full-Year 2010 Financial Results


For the full year 2010, revenues were $1.6 billion, a $621 million increase
compared to 2009's full-year results. EBITDA also increased to $692.8
million, a $417.7 million improvement versus the prior year. The
improvement was largely due to record revenues and operating income at the
underground mining segment of $1.3 billion and $580.7 million,
respectively, on significant year-over-year coking coal pricing and volume
increases.


Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results


Revenues for the fourth quarter 2010 totaled $400.8 million compared to
$236.3 million in the prior-year period. Operating income totaled $144.7
million for the quarter, compared to $36.9 million in the prior-year
period. Revenue and operating income improvements were primarily due to
higher coking coal pricing and volumes in the Company's underground mining
operations.


Fourth quarter 2010 operating income includes $5.9 million in costs
associated with Walter Energy's impending acquisition of Western Coal and
$2.3 million in costs at Walter Coke related to long-term environmental
monitoring. These charges negatively impacted earnings for the quarter by
approximately $0.10 per diluted share.


Underground Mining


The underground mining segment reported revenues of $350.9 million in the
fourth quarter 2010, compared to $179.7 million in the prior-year period.
Operating income was $144.6 million, more than triple the segment's
operating income in the same period last year. Revenues and operating
income were higher primarily due to significantly higher average coking
coal contract pricing along with higher sales volumes versus the prior-year
period. The effect of these favorable items was partially offset by higher
royalty and freight costs.


Coking coal sales totaled 1.7 million tons in the fourth quarter, up 25.1
percent compared to the prior-year period, at an average selling price of
$196.47 per short ton FOB Port, a 55.3 percent increase over average
selling prices of $126.48 per ton in the same period last year.


Total coking coal production was 1.5 million tons in the quarter, almost
200,000 tons higher than in the fourth quarter 2009. The increase in
production was generated from incremental tons from the Mine No. 7 East
expansion and from improved recovery rates at the No. 4 Mine. Production
costs for the quarter averaged $64.68 per ton, or $2.76 lower than in the
prior-year period, primarily due to volume improvements at both mines,
partially offset by higher labor and supply cost at Mine No. 7.


The natural gas business sold 3.4 billion cubic feet of gas at an average
price of $4.06 per thousand cubic feet in the fourth quarter 2010 compared
to 1.4 billion cubic feet at an average price of $4.09 per thousand cubic
feet in the prior-year period. Increased production and sales for the
quarter resulted from the Company's Walter Black Warrior Basin natural gas
subsidiary acquired in May 2010.


Surface Mining


The surface mining segment reported revenues of $35.9 million for the
fourth quarter 2010, compared to $26.0 million in the prior-year period on
increased sales volumes and pricing. Although revenues increased 37.8
percent, operating income in the fourth quarter 2010 only increased 7.0
percent due to higher depreciation, diesel and blasting costs.


Coal sales from the surface mining segment were 348,000 tons during the
fourth quarter, up 6.7 percent compared to the prior-year period primarily
due to incremental sales volumes from the recently opened Reid School
metallurgical coal mine. Production was 406,000 tons, up 35.3 percent
compared to the fourth quarter last year primarily from additional tons
produced at the Reid School Mine.


Walter Coke


Walter Coke reported revenues of $37.9 million in the fourth quarter 2010,
compared to $37.4 million in the prior-year period. Walter Coke generated
$5.4 million in operating income in the quarter, compared to a slight loss
in the prior-year period. Operating income improvements were driven
primarily by price increases and improved plant efficiencies, partially
offset by higher coal raw material costs and a $2.3 million environmental
charge. In addition, fourth quarter 2009 results included a $4.5 million
charge related to the closure of Walter Coke's fiber plant.


The Company sold 87,000 tons of metallurgical coke in the fourth quarter
2010 at an average price of $381.96 per ton compared to 88,000 tons sold in
the prior-year period at an average price of $312.11 per ton. Pricing
increases were primarily attributable to improved demand in the domestic
automotive and steel markets.


Corporate and Other


At Dec. 31, 2010, the Company had available liquidity of $533.5 million,
including cash of $293.4 million and $240.1 million available under its
credit facility.


Financial Summary & Business Outlook


Comparisons to the most recently provided business outlook are provided
below, alongside Walter Energy's business outlook for the first quarter
2011:


Underground Mining(1) Q4-2010 E Q4-2010 A Q1-2011 E
Coal Sales (short tons,
in millions) 1.7 - 2.0 1.7 1.6 - 1.8
Average Operating Margin(2)
Per Ton $84 - $87 $85 $83 - $87

Surface Mining Q4-2010 E Q4-2010 A Q1-2011 E
Coal Sales (short tons,
in thousands) 382 - 403 348 406 - 426
Average Operating Margin(2)

Walter Coke Q4-2010 E Q4-2010 A(3) Q1-2011 E
Coke Sales (tons, in thousands) 85 - 88 87 99 - 101
Average Operating Margin(2)

Quarter-to-quarter variability in timing, availability and pricing of
shipments may result in significant shifts in income between quarters.

(1) Includes the coking coal operation at Jim Walter Resources; excludes
the coal bed methane operations.
(2) Operating margin is defined as operating income (Earnings Before
Interest & Taxes) from each business shown.
(3) Actual results include a $2.3 million charge related to long-term
environmental monitoring.


In the fourth quarter 2010, coking coal sales volumes were at the low end
of the previously issued expectations range due to a longer-than-expected
longwall move in December and difficult mining conditions at both of our
underground mines late in the quarter. These conditions continued into
January and, along with the impact of planned first quarter 2011 longwall
moves, the Company expects first quarter sales volumes to be in the range
of 1.6 to 1.8 million tons.


Given the loss of production through mid-February 2011, the Company
estimates that its full-year coking coal sales will be, at best, 8.5
million tons, with up to 500,000 tons of the total coming from purchased
coal opportunities.


First quarter 2011 coking coal operating margins reflect an average selling
price of $215 per metric ton FOB port ($195 per short ton FOB port), which
includes a mix of carryover tons at $209 per metric ton as well as new
contract tons for the quarter at or above the $225 per metric ton benchmark
price. The average realized selling price will also be affected by lower
priced purchased coal. First quarter 2011 coking coal production costs are
expected to be in line with the fourth quarter 2010 results.


In the surface mining segment, although fourth quarter 2010 shipments were
lower than expected due to lighter-than-expected customer demand, the
segment expects to sell between 406,000 and 426,000 tons of metallurgical,
steam and industrial coal in the first quarter 2011, with all expected
steam and industrial sales volumes contractually priced. Operating income
in the first quarter 2011 is expected to be negatively impacted by a shift
in sales mix to lower-margin coal contracts, higher cost due to unfavorable
mining ratios and higher fuel prices.


At Walter Coke, first quarter sales volumes are expected to be
approximately 100,000 tons. Operating margins are expected to reflect
higher metallurgical coke prices, offset by higher coal raw material costs.


Western Coal Acquisition Update


Walter Energy said it continues to make very good progress on its
acquisition of Western Coal Corp. Western Coal issued its Circular to its
shareholders on Feb. 4, 2011 and a vote of the Western Coal shareholders is
scheduled for March 8, 2011. As announced on Jan. 20, 2011, the Company
acquired a 9.15 percent stake in Western Coal from funds advised by Audley
Capital for $293.7 million. The Company remains on track to close on the
acquisition on April 1, 2011.

(1) The Company recorded a $3.6 million restructuring and impairment charge
in the fourth quarter 2009 related to the closure of Walter Coke's
fiber plant. In addition, inventory write-downs of $0.9 million are
included in cost of sales related to this closure, for total closure
costs recognized of $4.5 million.

(2) In the fourth quarter 2009, the Company recognized two large, unusual
tax benefits resulting in a net tax benefit on pre-tax income. The tax
benefits included (1) a permanent tax benefit of $5.9 million for
non-taxable OPEB Medicare Part D subsidies and (2) a $3.8 million net
tax benefit on certain deferred tax assets relating to a change in the
effective state tax rate resulting from the decision to open the
Company's administrative headquarters in Birmingham, AL. Excluding
these items, the Company's fourth quarter 2009 effective tax rate was
26.5%. This rate is lower than the effective tax rate in the fourth
quarter 2010 primarily due to greater benefits from permanent
percentage depletion deductions in 2009.

(3) Discontinued operations includes the results of our closed Homebuilding
and Kodiak operations for both periods.
