James River Coal Company Rankings

Russell 2000 (June 2011)

Company Description

James River keeps the coal flowing. The company operates about 30 mines in eastern Kentucky (in the Central Appalachian Basin) and southern Indiana (in the Illinois Basin) that produce some 10 million tons of coal annually. Though a small percentage of the coal it sells comes from independent operators and third-party producers, the vast majority of James River's coal is produced from company-operated mines. It controls approximately 271 million tons of proved and probable reserves. More than three-quarters of its coal is sold to utilities. Georgia Power and South Carolina Public Service are its biggest customers, collectively accounting for nearly two-thirds of its business.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand comes mainly from generators of electricity. Profitability depends on efficient operations, as coal is a commodity sold on the basis of price. Big companies have significant economies of scale in production and distribution. Small companies can compete if they hold long-term contracts or if they supply local customers. The coal mining industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $440,000. Because the US has ample domestic coal reserves and because of the high cost of transporting coal relative to its value, imports account for only about 5 percent of the US market. Colombia is the leading source of imported coal. Exports, mainly to Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands, and China account for about 25 percent of US production.
