Sales volume of 3.7 million short tons was up 65% YoY, adjusted EBITDA of $157 million was up 193% YoY, and cash costs of $93/ton were down 9% YoY. Blue Creek's ramp-up is proceeding smoothly, customer feedback has exceeded expectations, full-year sales volume guidance has been raised to 5 million short tons with 90% already contracted, and market share is increasing.
