We expensed our 2012 deferred stripping cost of
US55.3 million as part of our strategy to manage
our business and balance sheet conservatively.
Our EBITDA was in line with our 2012 guidance of
US1.0 to US1.3 billion.
We reduced our capex spend in 2012 by
purchasing less heavy equipment in order to
preserve cash.
Our balance sheet remained solid with
low leverage and access to cash and long-term
bank facilities totaling US920 million.
Our 2012 production was below guidance of
48-51 Mt as we decided not to sell additional
volumes at a discount. As the market recovered,
we produced a record quarterly volume of
13.3 Mt in 4Q12. We achieved our
planned overburden target of 321 Mbcm,
even as coal production decreased, exposing
more coal and aiding our ability to lower the
strip ratio in 2013. Our coal cash cost was at the bottom
end of 2012 guidance of US39 to US42 per tonne due to below-budget
fuel costs and cost reduction initiatives.

I want Adaro to give the best performance it can to the nation,
to the people. Why? It’s very simple. If I can contribute to the
country, and later the country becomes a great nation, people
become prosperous. They will need more electricity, and the
government will need more power plants and more coal.

Our Coal Quality and Reserves
Adaro controls or has options on 12 billion tonnes of coal resources — including 1.1 billion tonnes of reserves
— all in full compliance with JORC standards.
We currently produce out of a single concession in South Kalimantan — the largest single-site
mine in the southern hemisphere — but we
have acquired assets in all of Indonesias four
key coal-producing provinces. For our
core operation we have a first-
generation Coal Cooperation
Agreement, a secure contract with the Indonesian government.
Our coal is marketed as Envirocoal due to its extremely low ash,
nitrogen and sulphur content with heat values ranging from
4,000 kcalkg to 5,000 kcalkg.
