Non -GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measures. The defi nition of these Non-GAAP financial measures and detailed reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2024 can be found in the Appendix. In addition, detailed reconciliations of these Non -GAAP financial measures for certain other historical periods in this presentation can be found in earnings press releases located on our website at www.warriormetcoal.com within the Investors section.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights 4 1 short ton (“St”) is equivalent to 0.907185 metric tons. *See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Appendix. Sold record quarterly sales volumes of 3.7 million short tons (“St”), a 65% increase from the prior year comparable quarter driven by Blue Creek. Achieved cash provided by operating activities of $132.3 million and generated free cash flow* of $103.4 million as Blue Creek drives record volumes, lower costs and margin expansion. Reduced cash cost of sales (free-on-board port)* per St by 9% to $92.53 from $101.17 per St in the prior year comparable quarter, driven by inherently lower cost structure of Blue Creek and a benefit from the Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit offset partially by higher transportation and royalty costs due to a higher price environment. Achieved net income of $87.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $156.9 million compared to net income of $5.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $53.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter. Raised full year volume guidance, reflecting continued positive customer reception of Blue Creek product. Declared regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share.

Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP.

Raises Full Year 2026 Volume Guidance(1) (1) This guidance is subject to many risks that may impact performance, such as global trade and tariff uncertainties, market conditions in the steel and steelmaking coal industries and overall global economic and competitive conditions, all as more fully described under Forward-Looking Statements. *See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Appendix. The Company does not provide reconciliations of its outlook for cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) to cost of sales in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided for under Rule 100(a)(2) of Regulation G. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop the meaningful comparable GAAP cost of sales. These items typically included non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion expenses and other non-recurring indirect mining expenses that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include a GAAP estimate. 1 short ton is equivalent to 0.907185 metric tons. 12 Coal Sales 13.0 – 14.0 Mst Coal Production 12.5 - 13.5 Mst Cash Cost of Sales (Free-on- Board Port)* $95 - $105 per St Capital Expenditures for Existing Mines $105 - $115mm Blue Creek Project $50 - $75mm Depreciation and Depletion $225 - $250mm S,G&A $75 - $85mm Interest Expense $20 - $25mm Interest Income $3 - $8mm Due to continued positive reception of Blue Creek volume trials and adoption by customers, the Company raised production and sales volume guidance for 2026

Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Measures Source: Company filings (1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest income (expense), net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and depletion, non-cash asset retirement obligation accretion, non-cash stock compensation expense, other non-cash accretion, non-cash mark-to-market (gain) loss on gas hedges and business interruption expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net (loss) income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. (2) Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA dividend by total revenues. (3) Adjusted EBITDA per short ton is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided short tons sold. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA(1), Adjusted EBITDA margin (2) and Adjusted EBITDA per short ton (2) to Amounts Reported Under U.S. GAAP 16 (in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income (loss) 87,429$ 5,606$ 159,770$ (2,562)$ Interest income (expense), net 3,381 (2,195) 3,965 (5,380) Income tax expense (benefit) 3,711 4,310 10,154 (1,720) Depreciation and depletion 58,293 43,255 110,566 88,532 Asset retirement obligation accretion 1,113 1,331 2,225 2,662 Stock compensation expense 2,478 2,045 12,577 10,098 Other non-cash accretion 495 495 990 989 Non-cash mark-to-market (gain) loss on gas hedges - (1,303) - 415 Business interruption 3 24 11 22 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 156,903$ 53,568$ 300,258$ 93,056$ Total revenues 509,690$ 297,523$ 968,278$ 597,466$ Adjusted EBITDA margin (2) 30.8% 18.0% 31.0% 15.6% Adjusted EBITDA per short ton (3) 42.94$ 24.14$ 45.11$ 21.19$ For the three months ended June 30, (Unaudited) For the six months ended June 30, (Unaudited)

Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Measures Source: Company filings (1) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and mine development costs. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from net cash provided by operating activities are significant to the reader in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Therefore, free cash flow should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and we believe it aids some investors and analysts in comparing us against other companies to help analyze our current and future potential performance. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. (2) Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation of Cash Cost of Sales (Free-on-Board Port)(1) to Cost of Sales Reported Under U.S. GAAP 18 Source: Company filings (1) Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is based on reported cost of sales and includes items such as freight, royalties, labor, fuel and other similar production and sales cost items, and may be adjusted for other items that, pursuant to GAAP, are classified in the Condensed Statements of Operations as costs other than cost of sales, but relate directly to the costs incurred to produce met coal. Our cash cost of sales per short ton is calculated as cash cost of sales divided by the short tons sold. Cash cost of sales (free-on-board port) is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute or superior to financial measures calculated in conformity with GAAP.
