The company sourced approximately 37.0% of its fuel requirements from bituminous coal in 2025. The annual bituminous coal supply was distributed as follows: 31.7% from Indonesia, 23.1% from Australia, 20.1% from Russia, 6.2% from South Africa, and 18.9% from other suppliers. About 93.1% of bituminous coal purchases were made under long-term contracts with prices periodically adjusted based on market conditions, while 6.9% were acquired from the spot market. Prices for primary fuel types, including bituminous coal, oil, and liquefied natural gas (LNG), fluctuate according to international market prices. The average monthly spot price of Newcastle coal declined from US$126.63 per ton in December 2024 to US$108.27 per ton in December 2025, then rose to US$133.86 per ton in March 2026. Oil and LNG prices are closely linked to crude oil prices; Dubai crude oil prices decreased from US$79.67 per barrel in 2024 to US$68.37 per barrel in 2025, then increased to US$89.55 per barrel as of April 10, 2026. Regulatory changes such as IMO 2020 and IMO 2023, which govern sulfur content and carbon emissions for ships, may lead to higher shipping costs and freight rates, potentially increasing fuel expenses. Significant increases in fuel prices or supply disruptions, particularly for bituminous coal, could affect the company's ability to procure fuel at viable prices.
