The shipments from its three operated mines totaled 20.1 million tons versus 21.1 million tons in the first quarter of 2013 and 20.1 million tons in the second quarter of 2012. The decline in coal shipments in the first half of the year did not come as a surprise as the accumulated stockpiles at the utilities delayed fresh orders.
The sequential decline in shipment of 1 million ton was attributable to weather interruptions, unplanned power plant outages at major customers, and the impact of production interruptions due to planned maintenance outages.
Cloud Peak adjusted its EBITDA guidance for 2013 and expects second quarter EBITDA to be below first quarter results. As a consequence the company decided to lower its full year EBITDA guidance at the midpoint by $15 million. Cloud Peak now expects 2013 EBITDA in the range of $210 million to $250 million.

Send this stock back to the kitchen
I admit to already being hyper-critical of the restaurant industry because of cutthroat pricing practices among peers, strained consumer spending because of higher payroll taxes, and the always looming threat that food prices will soar faster than the industry can raise prices. These provide for me more than enough reasons to suggest sending Bob Evans Farms (NASDAQ: BOBE ) back to the kitchen.
