• Underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) of $227 million for FY26
• Underlying EBITDA of $1.3 billion, reflecting strong operational performance
• Unit cost of coal down to $132/t from $139/t in FY25

Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC) has reported its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2026. The company achieved an underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) of $227 million and underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (underlying EBITDA) of $1.3 billion. The results reflect strong operational performance across Queensland and New South Wales operations, offset by cyclical price weakness and the impact of a stronger Australian dollar. Unit cost of coal was down to $132 per tonne from $139 per tonne in FY25. The company also reported a total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 3.3, a record low for the expanded business, and zero environmental enforcement actions (EEA). Whitehaven plans to return up to $159 million to shareholders through a final dividend and a share buy-back program.

FY27 guidance: Managed ROM coal production 38.0 - 41.0 Mt, Managed coal sales 30.4 - 33.0 Mt, Unit cost of coal $/t 132 - 147

Whitehaven is well positioned to benefit from improving market conditions and strengthening prices in FY27, with met coal and thermal coal prices expected to be higher than the start of FY26.
