Management Comments " In the second quarter of 2021 , we had another strong performance generating significant free cash flow , increasing our unrestricted cash position by more than $ 50 million and delivering a strong cash cost performance despite multiple longwall moves in the quarter , ” said Jimmy Brock , President and Chief Executive Officer of CONSOL Energy Inc. " Customer demand remains robust and we furthered our pivot to the export markets by selling approximately 55 % of our total sales volume internationally . The second quarter of 2021 marks our third consecutive quarter of approximately $ 50 million or more in free cash flow¹ generation , and this quarter was even more impressive when you consider our discretionary decision to execute an $ 18 million early buyout option on an existing operating lease associated with a set of longwall shields . We continue to bolster our balance sheet through strong cash generation and opportunistic open market debt repurchases of our second lien notes . Finally , I am very pleased to announce our decision to recommence the Itmann Metallurgical Coal Project by committing to move forward with the construction of a coal preparation facility on site that is slated to start up in 2022 and will include a highly efficient rail loadout and expanded capacity for processing third - party coal in addition to the coal from our Itmann # 5 Mine . We believe this is a very strategically important project for us as it will diversify our product mix and revenue stream , which will create additional value for our shareholders . " “ On the safety front , our Bailey Preparation Plant , CONSOL Marine Terminal ( CMT ) and Itmann project each had ZERO recordable incidents during the second quarter of 2021. Our year - to - date total recordable incident rate at the PAMC continues to track significantly and consistently below the national average for underground bituminous coal mines . "
