"...U.S. coal market conditions remained favorable in the 2018 Quarter allowing us to secure new commitments for approximately 8.9 million tons to be delivered to domestic customers through 2021. We also continued to strengthen our international coal sales position, booking an additional 4.6 million tons for delivery to the export markets over the next 12 to 18 months. ARLP is now essentially sold out for its planned 2018 sales volumes and has increased its anticipated export sales for this year to approximately 11.1 million tons. Our operations have also performed well, increasing production volumes compared to the 2017 Quarter to meet additional demand while continuing to control per ton costs. With solid performance through the first half of 2018 and a positive outlook for our markets over the balance of the year, ARLP is again increasing full-year 2018 guidance for revenues, net income and EBITDA..."

"..."U.S. coal markets have benefitted from increased economic activity in 2018 and recent favorable weather patterns across the Midwest and Eastern part of the country," said Mr. Craft. "As a result, domestic coal demand has been better than expected and utilities in ARLP's coal markets have experienced a significant draw on inventories. With year-over-year coal stockpiles down approximately 15.0% based on days of burn, we anticipate domestic customers will be in the market seeking to replenish stockpiles in the near term and to fill open positions for 2019 and beyond. Global coal supply/demand fundamentals in the seaborne thermal markets continue to create significant strategic opportunities for ARLP. Through the first six months of the year, ARLP has booked 10.4 million and 3.1 million tons for delivery in 2018 and 2019, respectively, into the growing international thermal coal market. The metallurgical export markets also remain attractive and we now plan to export approximately 725,000 tons of metallurgical coal in 2018. Our participation in the international coal markets has increased significantly, from approximately 4.5% of total sales volumes in 2016 to approximately 27.2% of anticipated sales at the midpoint of our current 2018 guidance. Looking ahead, global coal market dynamics remain constructive and supportive of ARLP's long-term participation in these increasingly strategic markets. We continue to believe that ARLP's focused strategy of growing sustainable, long-term cash flows and returning cash to unitholders while maintaining a conservative balance sheet and strong distribution coverage should allow us to create value for our unitholders in the future..."

The increase in the average current interest pay rate was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR.

The average balance of the Company's loan and investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2018, excluding loan loss reserves, was $2.68 billion with a weighted average yield on these assets of 7.08%, compared to $2.31 billion and 6.94% for the fourth quarter of 2017.

ARLP-Are These 11% Dividend Yields for Real? Some high-yielding dividend stocks are legit, while others are veritable wolves in sheep's clothing.



Sean Williams
( TMFUltraLong)


May 3, 2018 at 6:36AM


More often than not, dividend-paying stocks form the foundation of any successful long-term investment portfolio. They also, coincidentally, tend to handily outperform their non-dividend-paying peers over time.

But aside from sheer outperformance, dividend stocks bring three benefits to the table that investors seem to appreciate. First, dividend stocks usually have time-tested business models and relatively clear long-term outlooks -- otherwise they wouldn't be sharing a percentage of their profits with shareholders. Second, dividend payouts act as a means to partially hedge against the inevitable "hiccups" the stock market undergoes. Finally, dividends can be reinvested back into more shares of dividend-paying stock, supercharging your ability to build wealth.

The great dividend conundrum However, dividends also offer investors quite the conundrum: We want the highest yield possible, but we also want the payout to be sustainable over a long period of time. Though each case varies, the higher the yield, the more unsustainable the payout. Remember, dividend yield is a function of the total payout and a stock's share price. As an example, if a company's underlying business model is in trouble, and its share price loses 50%, its dividend yield will double, providing a dangerous lure for unsuspecting investors.

This battle between our better judgment and our desire for the highest yield imaginable is often waged most fiercely among dividend stocks with double-digit yields. Right now, there are around 100 publicly traded stocks paying out in excess of 10% annually, albeit this figure may include one-time special dividends paid out over the past year.

Are these high-yielding dividends sustainable? Three high-yielding stocks among this group of roughly 100 publicly traded companies caught my attention: Alliance Resource Partners ( NASDAQ:ARLP), Annaly Capital Management ( NYSE:NLY), and GameStop ( NYSE:GME). The big question is: Are their 11% dividend yields for real?

Let's have a closer look.


Image source: Getty Images.



Alliance Resource Partners: 11.9% yield Before you run for the hills, let me come clean: Yes, Alliance Resource Partners is a coal producer. And yes, coal producers aren't exactly thriving at the moment. But make no mistake about it, Alliance Resource isn't anything like its peers.

The first difference to be found can be seen in the company's balance sheet. The company's latest quarterly results, reported on Monday, showed $28.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and a subsequent $29.2 million reduction in long-term debt. Whereas most of its peers are lugging around $1 billion or more in long-term debt, Alliance Resource Partners has well below this amount, giving it the financial flexibility to make deals and adjust production as demand calls for. Many of its competitors simply don't have that luxury.

It's also done a remarkably good job of minimizing its exposure to wholesale coal prices by locking in production well in advance. According to CEO Joseph Craft III, "During the 2018 Quarter, ARLP reached agreement to deliver up to 19.7 million tons in 2018 through 2022, including an additional 4.8 million tons for delivery this year." This added booking in 2018 actually caused the company to up its full-year production guidance to a new range of 40 million to 41 million tons of coal, representing 8% year-on-year growth at the midpoint. More than 17 million tons are booked for 2019, with nearly 12 million committed for 2020.

Though coal has certainly faced no shortage of headwinds, it still accounts for around 30% of all electricity generation in the U.S., which means it's not going away anytime soon. Even then, Alliance Resource has the option to export its thermal and metallurgical coal to emerging markets with growing energy needs.

The final verdict: I'm calling this dividend legit and sustainable.

Annaly Capital Management: 11.6% yield Another high-yield stock that's been making income investors drool with delight for years now is Annaly Capital Management. On a trailing 12-month basis, Annaly's yield has ranged between 9% and 16% since 2009. But what really matters is whether or not this high level of payout remains sustainable.

Annaly is part of a group of high-yielding companies in the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) industry, also known as mortgage REITs. Mortgage REITs make their money by using leverage and interest rates to their advantage. A company like Annaly purchases debt securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities) and collects interest on that debt. Meanwhile, it borrows money at a short-term lending rate, allowing it to lever up and acquire more debt securities. The difference between the rate at which it borrows and the rate at which it collects on its owned debt securities is known as its net interest margin. The greater this spread, the more profitable the company.

The issue with Annaly often boils down to interest rates, since it essentially invests in agency-only loans -- this is a fancy of way of saying that it buys mortgage-backed securities that are protected by the federal government in case of default. If interest rates are falling, short-term borrowing costs decline, allowing for its net interest margin to increase. But when interest rates rise, short-term borrowing costs increase, squeezing this spread. In 2017, Annaly's net interest margin shrunk to 1.47% from 2.49% at the end of 2016.

To some extent, net interest margin also depends on Annaly's ability to adjust its leverage and portfolio holdings to a changing interest rate environment. The slower and more predictable these interest rate changes are, the better Annaly can prepare by adjusting its portfolio. Conversely, a rapidly rising rate environment can prove devastating to its margin spread.

The final verdict: I don't believe Annaly's $1.20 per share annual payout ($0.30 per quarter) is sustainable given the rising rate environment we're currently in. Then again, no senior management team is more skilled with managing mortgage-backed securities than Annaly's. I'd expect this dividend yield to remain high, but a sustainable 11% yield probably isn't in the cards.


Image source: Getty Images.



GameStop: 11% yield Brick-and-mortar gaming and accessory giant GameStop is another high-yield stock that'll turn heads. It's currently sporting an 11% yield ($1.52 per share a year), which works out to a payout ratio of less than 50% based on the consensus of $3.10 in EPS expected in the current fiscal year.

On the surface, it probably looks as if this dividend is safe, but GameStop is that stereotypical struggling business model described earlier that can lure in unsuspecting income seekers.

The issue here is that GameStop is primarily reliant on its legacy business model of selling physical games and accessories out of its brick-and-mortar locations. However, the gaming community has been transitioning for years to digital gaming, which can bypass physical stores altogether. In effect, GameStop is losing its niche as the gaming industry middleman.

This isn't to say that GameStop isn't focused on growing its digital sales, which increased by almost 14% in 2017 to $189.2 million. It's to point out that this $189.2 million pales in comparison to the $3.5 billion in total full-year sales in 2017. GameStop is essentially reliant on partnerships, mobile devices, and new consoles to drive its business. But even then, the sales pops have been few and far between, and its pre-owned sales segment, which typically generates its juiciest margins, shrunk by 4.6% in 2017.

Recently, GameStop's CEO laid out a five-point strategy to right the ship, so to speak. This strategy predominantly focuses on expanding its presence with hardcore gamers and casual consumers, cutting back on expenses and physical store expansion, and improving average transaction value. Of course these ideas sound great on paper, but with the industry moving steadily away from physical hardware, it's going to make GameStop's life more difficult with each passing year.

The final verdict: While GameStop's dividend might be safe for a few years, its weakening sales and declining EPS, even amid cost cutting, cannot be ignored. Over the long run, I do believe GameStop will have no choice but to reduce its annual payout.

"...Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ARLP) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the "2018 Quarter"). Net income attributable to ARLP for the 2018 Quarter increased 48.6% to $155.9 million, or $1.16 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, compared to $104.9 million, or $1.10 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (the "2017 Quarter"). The results in the 2018 Quarter included an $80 million gain on settlement of litigation. EBITDA also increased 28.7% in the 2018 Quarter to $228.7 million compared to $177.7 million in the 2017 Quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of the settlement gain, decreased to $148.7 million in the 2018 Quarter compared to $177.7 million for the 2017 Quarter. Delayed coal shipments due to weather-related transportation disruptions in the 2018 Quarter led total revenues lower to $457.1 million, slightly below total revenues in the 2017 Quarter. (For a definition of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and related reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures and actual and pro forma earnings per basic and diluted limited partner unit reflecting the exchange transaction announced in our July 28, 2017 press release as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017, please see the end of this release.)

As previously announced on April 27, 2018, the Board of Directors of ARLP’s general partner increased the cash distribution to unitholders for the 2018 Quarter to $0.515 per unit (an annualized rate of $2.06 per unit), payable on May 15, 2018 to all unitholders of record as of the close of trading on May 8, 2018. The announced distribution represents a 17.7% increase over the cash distribution of $0.4375 per unit for the 2017 Quarter and a 1.0% increase over the cash distribution of $0.51 per unit for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 (the "Sequential Quarter")..."

$ARLP Daily and Weekly Charts For Review

[KeMBro2012]

It's ex-dividend day, everyone selling now that they've secured their dividend payments (which were quite tasty, I might add) means I'm loading up on cheap shares today.

With Obama on his way out of office, his anti-coal legislation won't be round much longer. Add to that, all of ARLP's domestic competitors have filed bankruptcy at some point in the recent past and ARLP is unaffected by the leasing halt, as the companies they own actually own the land they mine on, and you can easily see that now is the time to load up on ARLP, while it's cheap!

[Ronman3210]

Good.

[Timothy Smith]

I think the value proposition is growing stronger here.

[KeMBro2012]

I'm gonna have some spare cash in the second half of this month, might be time for me to load up on this, then.

[Timothy Smith]

Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP -1.7%) says it's completed acquiring the rest of the White Oak Resources equity interests that it didn't already own, and has updated production and financial guidance accordingly.

[KeMBro2012]

With power companies talking about limiting how much power solar homes are allowed to dump back onto the grid (this has been lightly reported in the media, so it isn't widely known just yet), solar just became a *lot* less attractive. That means continued power generation demand and, if those limits are eventually put in places, increased power generation demand as solar homes will no longer be supplying as much daytime power as they currently do.

That means more coal, which means more business for ARLP and more profits for ARLP investors.

That's my read, at least.
