Their successor total revenues in the first quarter of 2017 increased 122% to $573.4 million and their bottom line increased to a $37.3 million gain from a $32.6 million loss, compared to the predecessor results in the same quarter in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>They operate high-quality coal mines across three major U.S. coal basins complemented by a robust Trading and Logistics business. Their portfolio of mining operations consists of six mining complexes, comprised of nine underground mines, four surface mines and four coal preparation plants. To supplement their mining operations, they operate a Trading and Logistics business that focuses on the sale of third-party coal into the international market. A strategic cornerstone of this business is their 65.0% interest in Dominion Terminal Associates (\u201cDTA\u201d), a coal export terminal. DTA provides them with the ability to fulfill a broad range of customer coal quality requirements through coal blending, while also providing storage capacity and transportation flexibility. Their met coal business, together with their Trading and Logistics business, is expected to sell approximately 8.8 million tons of coal in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competition:<\/strong>\u00a0They compete for U.S. sales with numerous coal producers in the Appalachian region, and the Illinois basin, and with western coal producers.\u00a0 \u00a0In the export met coal market we compete with producers from Australia and Canada and with other international producers on many of the same factors as in the U.S. market. Competition in the export market is also impacted by fluctuations in relative foreign exchange rates and costs of inland and ocean transportation, among other factors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENERGY IPOS in 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/EnergyIPOsin2017.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2812\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/EnergyIPOsin2017.png\" alt=\"EnergyIPOsin2017\" width=\"962\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/EnergyIPOsin2017.png 962w, https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/EnergyIPOsin2017-600x245.png 600w, https:\/\/www.ipoboutique.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/EnergyIPOsin2017-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>SPECIAL DIVIDEND:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>On June 16, 2017, our board of directors authorized and declared a special cash distribution of approximately $92.8 million in the aggregate (the \u201cSpecial Dividend\u201d), payable to eligible holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on July 5, 2017.
