These forward-looking statements are based on Alpha's expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond Alpha's control. The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: • the financial performance of the company; • our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition; • our ability to generate sufficient cash or obtain financing to fund our business operations; • depressed levels or declines in coal prices; • railroad, barge, truck, port and other transportation availability, performance and costs; • changes in domestic or international environmental laws and regulations, and court decisions, including those directly affecting our coal mining and production and those affecting our customers’ coal usage, including potential climate change initiatives; • steel and coke producers switching to alternative energy sources such as natural gas, renewables and coal from basins where we do not operate; • our ability to obtain or renew surety bonds on acceptable terms or maintain our current bonding status; • worldwide market demand for coal and steel, including demand for U.S. coal exports, and competition in coal markets; • attracting and retaining key personnel and other employee workforce factors, such as labor relations; • our ability to execute our share repurchase program; • our ability to self-insure certain of our black lung obligations without a significant increase in required collateral; • our ability to meet collateral requirements and fund employee benefit obligations; • inflationary pressures on supplies and labor and significant or rapid increases in commodity prices; • disruptions in delivery or changes in pricing from third-party vendors of key equipment and materials that are necessary for our operations, such as diesel fuel, steel products, explosives, tires and purchased coal; • our ability to consummate financing or refinancing transactions, and other services, and the form and degree of these services available to us, which may be significantly limited by the lending, investment and similar policies of financial institutions and insurance companies regarding carbon energy producers and the environmental impacts of coal combustion; • failures in performance, or non-performance, of services by third-party contractors, including contract mining and reclamation contractors; • disruption in third-party coal supplies; • cybersecurity attacks or failures, threats to physical security, extreme weather conditions or other natural disasters; • the imposition or continuation of barriers to trade, such as tariffs; • increased volatility and uncertainty regarding worldwide markets, seaborne transportation and our customers as a result of developments in and around Ukraine and the Middle East; • changes in, renewal or acquisition of, terms of and performance of customers under coal supply arrangements and the refusal by our customers to receive coal under agreed-upon contract terms; • reductions or increases in customer coal inventories and the timing of those changes; • our production capabilities and costs; • our ability to obtain, maintain or renew any necessary permits or rights; • inherent risks of coal mining, including those that are beyond our control; • changes in, interpretations of, or implementations of domestic or international tax or other laws and regulations, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and its related regulations; • our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our customers, including the inability to collect payments from our customers if their creditworthiness declines; • our indebtedness as we may incur it from time to time; • reclamation and mine closure obligations; and • our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve estimates. Forward-looking statements in this document or elsewhere speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for Alpha to predict these events or how they may affect Alpha. Except as required by law, Alpha has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this document or elsewhere. In light of these risks and uncertainties, investors should keep in mind that results, events or developments discussed in any forward-looking statement made in this document may not occur. Third Party Information: This presentation, including certain forward-looking statements herein, includes information obtained from third party sources that we believe to be reliable. However, we have not independently verified this third-party information and cannot assure you of its accuracy or completeness. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any third-party data contained in this presentation, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in detail in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A M R I N V E S T O R P R E S E N T A T I O N F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 4 With customers in 25 countries and significant port capacity, Alpha Metallurgical Resources (NYSE: AMR) reliably supplies metallurgical products to the global steel industry. Alpha operates 22 mines and controls approximately 316 million tons of coal reserves and 514 million tons of in situ coal resources. Our metallurgical coal is used in the coke- making process, which ultimately creates the steel that serves as a basis for modern society across the globe. Steel is used in infrastructure like roads, bridges, building construction, vehicles and household appliances. Near-term projections suggest that global demand for coal used to produce high-quality steel is expected to continue surpassing supply.* S A F E LY P R O D U C I N G A C R I T I C A L P R O D U C T F O R B U I L D I N G M O D E R N S O C I E T Y | 3 *Source: Wood Mackenzie

Biomass: Steel is used extensively in agriculture. Solar: Steel is used as a base for solar thermal panels and in pumps, tanks and heat exchangers. Wave and Tidal: A steel pile is the main component of a tidal turbine in tidal energy systems. It’s also used to fabricate wave energy devices. Hydroelectric: Steel is needed to reinforce concrete dams. Wind: Almost every component of a wind turbine is made of steel, from the foundation to the tower, gears and casings. Metallurgical coal remains an essential input for steel production, requiring around 0.78 tons of coal to make one ton of steel using the blast furnace process.

The amounts estimated above may be affected by future obligations that we cannot currently predict. (1) We had no acquisition-related obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2023. (2) Cash flows exclude market risk premium and inflation. (3) The pension obligations are based on the latest available data as of February 2024 and include the impact of the funding relief granted by the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA"), the application of the interest rate stabilization guidance under ARPA, and the impact of the merger of the three pension plans effective as of 12/31/2023. The 2024 and 2025 years include amounts above the estimated minimum required contributions for the respective plan years. The contribution amounts are subject to change based on market performance and interest rate levels. (4) The above payments reflect capital contributions to equity affiliates in connection with expected capital investments at our DTA export facility. The 2024 estimate includes both contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades. Cash outflows for years beyond 2024 are still being determined. | 1 5


 
A M R I N V E S T O R P R E S E N T A T I O N F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 4 (1) Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of February 14, 2024. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range. (2) Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations. (3) Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates. (4) Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have historically varied and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results. (5) Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses. (6) Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.
