Walter Energy Inc. (NYSE: WLT) provided an outlook on second quarter performance and reaffirmed full-year met coal production guidance.

Second quarter 2012 met coal sales volume is also expected to be approximately 2.8 MMTs, up from 2.4 MMTs in first quarter 2012. Reflecting current trends in global coal markets, Walter Energy's met coal prices for the second quarter 2012 will likely average about $200 per MT for HCC and $160 per MT for low-vol PCI, inclusive of the impact of previously priced carryover tons from past quarters. This will represent a decline of approximately 12% for HCC and an approximate 15% decline for low-vol PCI coal from the first quarter 2012. Costs per ton sold are expected to approximate those for the first quarter 2012. The adverse effect of reduced pricing is expected to be partially offset by certain favorable non-operating gains.
