 Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Management provides financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). Presentation of non-GAAP measures such as, but not limited to Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with an alternative method for assessing our
operating results in a manner that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP results, enables them to more thoroughly evaluate our performance.
These non-GAAP measures provide a baseline for assessing the our future earnings expectations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. The
non-GAAP measures included in this presentation are provided to give investors access to the types of measures that we use in analyzing our results. The calculation of non-
GAAP financial measures herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures may be considered in
addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results, and they may exclude financial information that
some consider important in evaluating our performance. Schedules that reconcile non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation to GAAP financial measures are
included with this presentation.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. Adjusted
EBITDA is also adjusted for equity-based compensation, losses/gains on commodity derivative contracts, settlements of derivative contracts, changes in the fair value of the
warrants and material nonrecurring or other items which may not reflect the trend of future results. As it relates to derivatives, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation removes the
total impact of derivative gains/losses on net income (loss) during the period and then adds/deducts to Adjusted EBITDA the aggregate settlements during the period.

 Overview of Foresight Energy LP

Foresight Energy LP (Foresight or the Company) is a thermal coal producer that controls approximately
2.1 billion tons of proven and probable coal reserves in the Illinois Basin (ILB)
Major supplier of thermal coal to domestic power plants, industrial users and international customers
Four state-of-the-art longwall mines1 and one continuous miner operation across four mining complexes
Operations represent some of the most productive and lowest cost mines in the U.S.
Produce high-heat content coal with ability to ship domestically and internationally
Mines are strategically located near multiple rail and river access points to provide transportation
optionality

Well-positioned to remain profitable throughout the cycle due to its low cost structure and high heat content
For LTM ended March 31, 2017, Foresight sold 20.8 million tons (Mst) of coal, generating total
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $940.1 million and $322.5 million, respectively

$1.4bn investment by Murray Energy Corporation (Murray Energy) in 2015 has generated significant
synergies and created the dominant U.S. coal producer focused on high high-heat content thermal coal

Recently completed refinancing that removed potential dilution from the Convertible PIK Note and allows
Foresight to resume distributions on common units, subject to the discretion of management and terms of
financing documents

Favorable outlook with evolving U.S. political landscape, stabilization of domestic and seaborne thermal
prices, improved capital structure, and clear path to resume distributions

A reconciliation of estimated 2017 Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income is not provided because U.S. GAAP net income for the projection period is not
assessable. The Partnerships net income in future periods will be impacted by the effects of pushdown accounting. The amount of such gains and losses from the effects
of pushdown accounting could be significant, such that the amount of additional net income would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA.

 Coal Expected to Benefit from Evolving U.S. Political Landscape

On March 28, 2017 President Trump signed the Executive Order on Energy Independence, which calls for a review of
the Clean Power Plan (CPP)
Domestic energy regulators can submit plans to the White House to revise or rescind regulatory barriers that
impede progress towards energy independence
Trump Administration may repeal the EPAs endangerment finding, thereby removing legal support for much of the
Rolling Back EPAs previous action on climate change, including the CPP
Existing The endangerment finding was issued in 2009 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases must
EPA be regulated under the Clean Air Act if they endanger health
Regulations
Trump Administration may also end government-sponsored legal defense of the CPP, which is presently subject to
judicial challenges
The Republican-controlled Congress could lower federal tax and royalty rates on coal
Various changes could alleviate regulatory burdens on industries that burn coal and result in increased demand
On February 16, 2017 Trump signed legislation under the Congressional Review Act revoking the Stream
Protection Rule which imposed new requirements to avoid damage to waterways outside mine boundaries

The EPA could transfer or delegate regulatory power to states, including allowing states more latitude to set
Transferring environmental policy
Environmental
Limiting sue and settle practice, where the EPA negotiates directly with regulated businesses and excludes state
Policy Back to

New EPA administrator could also aim for more industry representation on the EPAs Science Advisory Board

In 2017, as part of a refinancing, Murray consolidated its ownership in

Foresight:
58% Common LP 12% Common LP
100% Subordinated LP
Additional $61mm investment for common LP units

Exercised the option to increase its GP stake to 80% for $15mm
