What leadership is saying
“The third quarter demonstrated improving momentum across the portfolio with all segments reporting positive Adjusted EBITDA while our seaborne operations benefited from higher pricing. During the quarter, we worked through higher-cost faulted conditions at Centurion, which slowed advance rates, although the mine still reached its third quarter sales targets”
