NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

(In thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)

NOTE 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's subsidiaries operate in the following principal industries: mining, small appliances and specialty retail. The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by industry.

The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively, “NACoal”) mine and market steam and metallurgical coal for use in power generation and steel production and provide selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies. Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. The Kitchen Collection, LLC (“KC”) is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2015 and the results of its operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been included. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2015. The HBB and KC businesses are seasonal and a majority of revenues and operating profit typically occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of small electric household appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season. For further information regarding seasonality of these businesses, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

In May 2014, the FASB codified in ASC 606, "Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers and provide additional disclosures. As amended, the effective date for public entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. As such, the Company will be required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is not permitted before the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. ASC 606 may be adopted either using a full retrospective approach, in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method to use and how ASC 606 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Preparation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of

Table of Contents

management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update)." ASU 2015-15 amends Subtopic 835-30 to include that the SEC would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," requiring that inventory be measured at lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”) is a non-operating subsidiary of the Company with legacy liabilities relating to closed mining operations, primarily former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining operations. In connection with Bellaire's normal permit renewal with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP"), Bellaire established a $5.0 million mine water treatment trust (the "Mine Water Treatment Trust") to provide a financial assurance mechanism in order to assure the long-term treatment of post-mining discharges. Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust invests in available for sale securities that are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The Company uses significant other observable inputs to value derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value for these contracts is determined based on exchange rates and interest rates, respectively.

There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Revolving credit agreements and long-term debt are recorded at carrying value in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of revolving credit agreements approximates their carrying value as the stated rates of the debt reflect recent market conditions. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account subsidiary credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, both the fair value and the book value of the Company's revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $163.5 million, $236.3 million and $204.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 6—Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

NACoal has two consolidated mining operations: Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and Centennial Natural Resources ("Centennial"), and provides dragline mining services for independently owned limerock quarries in Florida. NACoal also has the following wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiaries that each meet the definition of a variable interest entity and are accounted for using the equity method:

The Coteau Properties Company ("Coteau")

The Falkirk Mining Company ("Falkirk")

The Sabine Mining Company ("Sabine")

Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”)

Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”)

Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”)

Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”)

Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”)

NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak")

The unconsolidated subsidiaries, with the exception of NoDak (collectively, the "Unconsolidated Mines"), were formed to develop, construct and operate surface coal mines under long-term contracts and are capitalized primarily with debt financing provided by or supported by their respective customers, and without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. Coteau, Falkirk, Sabine, Liberty and Coyote supply or will supply lignite coal for power generation. Demery and Caddo Creek supply lignite coal for the production of activated carbon. Camino Real supplies sub-bituminous coal for power generation. NoDak operates and maintains a coal processing facility.

The contracts with the customers of the Unconsolidated Mines provide for reimbursement at a price based on actual costs plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton of coal sold or actual costs plus a management fee. Although NACoal owns 100% of the equity and manages the daily operations of these entities, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the customers. The customers have a controlling financial interest and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate these entities' financial positions or results of operations. The income taxes resulting from the operations of the Unconsolidated Mines are solely the responsibility of the Company. The pre-tax income from the Unconsolidated Mines is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated mines” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the Unconsolidated Mines above operating profit because they are an integral component of the Company's business and operating results. The pre-tax income from NoDak is reported on the line "(Income) loss from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other expense (income)" section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes.

North American Coal Corporation India Private Limited ("NACC India") was formed to provide technical business advisory services to the third-party owner of a coal mine in India. During the third quarter of 2014, NACC India's customer defaulted on its contractual payment obligations and as a result of this default, NACC India terminated its contract with the customer and is

Table of Contents

pursuing contractual remedies. Prior to contract termination, NACC India met the definition of a variable interest entity of which NACoal was not the primary beneficiary and was accounted for using the equity method with net income or loss reported on the line "(Income) loss from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other expense (income)" section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to contract termination, NACC India is no longer a variable interest entity and its financial position and results of operations are consolidated by NACoal as of the contract termination date.

The investments in the Unconsolidated Mines and related tax positions totaled $25.9 million, $28.2 million and $28.9 million at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. These amounts are included on the line “Other non-current assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's maximum risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital, which was $3.9 million, $4.0 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Included in "Accounts receivable from affiliates" was $53.2 million and $42.2 million as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively, due to NACoal from Coyote Creek. Coyote Creek repaid NACoal the amount outstanding during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of Coyote Creek’s completion of third-party financing.

NACoal is a party to certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek. Under certain circumstances of default or termination of Coyote Creek’s Lignite Sales Agreement (“LSA”), NACoal would be obligated for payment of a "make-whole" amount to Coyote Creek’s third party lenders. The “make-whole” amount is based on the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled debt payments over the principal amount. In addition, in the event Coyote Creek’s LSA is terminated on or after January 1, 2024 by Coyote Creek’s customers, NACoal is obligated to purchase Coyote Creek’s dragline and rolling stock for the then net book value of those assets. To date, no payments have been required from NACoal since the inception of these guarantees. The Company believes that the likelihood of NACoal’s future performance under the guarantees is remote, and no amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.

Summarized financial information for the unconsolidated subsidiaries is as follows:



	THREE MONTHS ENDED				NINE MONTHS ENDED
	SEPTEMBER 30				SEPTEMBER 30

NOTE 7—Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos-related claims, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. The Company's policy is to expense legal fees as services are rendered and to accrue for liabilities when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that material losses will be incurred in excess of accruals already recognized.

HBB is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by HBB or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, HBB estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards. No assessment can fully characterize all subsurface conditions at a site. There is no assurance that additional assessment and remediation efforts will not result in adjustments to estimated remediation costs or the time frame for remediation at these sites.

Table of Contents

HBB's estimates of investigation and remediation costs may change if it discovers contamination at additional sites or additional contamination at known sites, if the effectiveness of its current remediation efforts change, if applicable federal or state regulations change or if HBB's estimate of the time required to remediate the sites changes. HBB's revised estimates may differ materially from original estimates.

At September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $8.5 million, $9.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. In addition, HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $4.7 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, HBB recorded a $3.3 million charge to increase the liability for environmental investigation and remediation activities at the Picton, Ontario facility as a result of an environmental study performed in the second quarter of 2014.

NOTE 8—Product Warranties

HBB provides a standard warranty to consumers for all of its products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product brand. In general, if a product is returned under warranty, a refund is provided to the consumer by HBB's customer, the retailer. Generally, the retailer returns those products to HBB for a credit. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.

The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.

Changes in the Company's current and long-term recorded warranty liability are as follows:



	2015
Balance at January 1	$	5,856
Warranties issued	6,471
Settlements made	(7,042		)
Balance at September 30	$	5,285

NOTE 9—Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax rate. The Company's effective income tax rate is affected by the benefit of percentage depletion.

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were 4.1% and 15.1%, respectively. The effective income tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2015 was lower due to discrete tax benefits and a shift in the mix of taxable income and/or loss toward entities with lower effective income tax rates. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 10.5%. The effective income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was not meaningful as the $1.9 million income tax benefit was not directly correlated to the $0.7 million pre-tax income. The rate was impacted by net favorable discrete tax items totaling $2.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily from the conclusion of the 2011 and 2012 U.S. federal tax return examinations.

NOTE 10—Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company's policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds. Pension benefits were frozen for all employees effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2013. All eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.

The Company also maintains postretirement health care plans which provide benefits to eligible retired employees. All health care plans of the Company have a cap on the Company's share of the costs. These plans have no assets. Under the Company's current policy, plan benefits are funded at the time they are due to participants.

The components of pension and postretirement health care expense (income) are set forth below:

^(a)During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a $0.5 million charge for severance as a result of the decision to cease mining operations at Centennial in Alabama by the end of 2015. Revisions were also made to Centennial's asset retirement obligations due to revised estimated cash flows and the timing of those cash flows, resulting in a $7.5 million charge during the third quarter of 2015. Both of these charges are included in Cost of sales in NACoal. See Note 12 for further discussion on NACoal's asset retirement obligations.

^(b)During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $1.1 million charge included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in NACCO and Other to correct a prior period accounting error related to an increase in the estimated liability for certain frozen deferred compensation plans. Management, quantitatively and qualitatively, assessed the materiality of the error and the correction thereof and concluded that the effect of the previous accounting treatment was not material to prior periods, 2014 full-year results, or trend of earnings and determined no material misstatements existed in those prior periods and no restatement of those prior period financial statements was necessary.

Table of Contents

NOTE 12—Asset Retirement Obligation

NACoal's asset retirement obligations are principally for costs to dismantle certain mining equipment at the end of the life of the mine as well as for costs to close its surface mines and reclaim the land it has disturbed as a result of its normal mining activities. The Company determined the amounts of these obligations based on estimates adjusted for inflation, projected to the estimated closure dates, and then discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The accretion of the liability is being recognized over the estimated life of each individual asset retirement obligation and is recorded in the line “Cost of sales” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The associated asset is recorded in “Property, Plant and Equipment, net” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On July 31, 2015, management recommended and The North American Coal Corporation’s Board of Directors approved cessation of coal production at Centennial by the end of 2015. The decision was made as a result of worsening conditions in the Alabama and global coal markets and the adverse effect regulatory changes have had on Centennial’s business. As a result of the decision to cease mining operations, revisions were made to Centennial's asset retirement obligations due to revised estimated cash flows and the timing of those cash flows, resulting in a $7.5 million charge in the third quarter of 2015. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the Company's asset retirement obligation is as follows:



	NACCO Consolidated
Balance at January 1, 2015	$	41,819
Liabilities settled during the period	(6,182		)
Accretion expense	2,049
Revision of estimated cash flows	7,526

NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate in the following principal industries: mining, small appliances and specialty retail. Results of operations and financial condition are discussed separately by subsidiary, which corresponds with the industry groupings.

The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated coal companies (collectively, “NACoal”) mine and market steam and metallurgical coal for use in power generation and steel production and provide selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies. Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. The Kitchen Collection, LLC (“KC”) is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Please refer to the discussion of the Company's Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed on pages 34 through 37 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company's Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2014.

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION

NACoal mines and markets steam and metallurgical coal for use in power generation and steel production and provides selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies. Coal is surface mined from NACoal's developed mines in North Dakota, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. Total coal reserves approximate 2.0 billion tons with approximately 1.1 billion tons committed to customers pursuant to long-term contracts.

The Coteau Properties Company ("Coteau")

The Falkirk Mining Company ("Falkirk")

The Sabine Mining Company ("Sabine")

Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”)

Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”)

Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”)

Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”)

Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”)

NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak")

The unconsolidated subsidiaries, with the exception of NoDak, were formed to develop, construct and operate surface coal mines under long-term contracts and are capitalized primarily with debt financing provided by or supported by their respective customers, and without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. Coteau, Falkirk, Sabine, Liberty and Coyote supply or will supply lignite coal for power generation. Demery and Caddo Creek supply lignite coal for the production of activated carbon. Camino Real supplies sub-bituminous coal for power generation. NoDak operates and maintains a coal processing facility.

Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine were developed between 1974 and 1984. Demery commenced delivering coal in 2012 and anticipates achieving full production levels in 2017. Caddo Creek commenced delivering coal in late 2014. Camino Real commenced delivering coal in October 2015, and expects to mine approximately 2.5 million to 3.0 million tons of coal annually when at full production.

Liberty commenced production in 2013 but will not deliver any coal for power generation in 2015. Production levels at Liberty are expected to increase gradually beginning in 2016 and build to full production of approximately 4.6 million tons of coal annually beginning in 2023, although the timing of future deliveries will be affected by the pace at which construction of the Kemper County Energy Facility is completed.

Table of Contents

NACoal has one mine currently in development. Coyote Creek received its mining permit in October 2014 and is developing a mine in Mercer County, North Dakota, from which it expects to deliver approximately 2.5 million tons of coal annually beginning in mid-2016.

The contracts with the customers of the unconsolidated subsidiaries provide for reimbursement to the company at a price based on actual costs plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton of coal sold or actual costs plus a management fee. The per ton fees earned at each mine escalate over time in line with various indices which reflect general inflation rates.

North American Coal Corporation India Private Limited (“NACC India”) was formed to provide technical business advisory services to the third-party owner of a coal mine in India. During the third quarter of 2014, NACC India's customer defaulted on its contractual payment obligations and, as a result of this default, NACC India terminated its contract with the customer and is pursuing contractual remedies.

(b) The NACoal effective income tax rate is affected by the benefit of percentage depletion.

(c) The effective income tax rate is not meaningful in 2015 and 2014 as the income tax provision (benefit) amounts are not directly correlated to the pre-tax income (loss) for the three and nine months ended both September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. See further information regarding the consolidated effective income tax rate in Note 9 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Third Quarter of 2015 Compared with Third Quarter of 2014

The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the third quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2014:



	Revenues
2014	$	49,840
Increase (decrease) from:
Consolidated mining operations	(7,925		)
Royalty and other income	789
2015	$	42,704

Revenues decreased in the third quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to a reduction in higher-priced tons sold at Centennial partially offset by an increase in tons sold at MLMC attributable to fewer plant outage days at the customer's power plant in the third quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2014. The reduction in tons sold at Centennial was primarily due to the wind down of operations.

The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit (loss) for the third quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2014:



	Operating Profit/(Loss)
2014	$	4,362
Increase (decrease) from:
Centennial asset retirement obligation charge	(7,526		)
Consolidated mining operations	(1,894		)
Loss on sale of assets	(82		)
Other selling, general and administrative expenses	(63		)
Royalty and other income	1,024
Earnings of unconsolidated mines	169
2015	$	(4,010	)

NACoal reported an operating loss of $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared with operating profit of $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily due a charge related to an increase in Centennial's asset retirement obligation. See Note 12 for further discussion of NACoal's asset retirement obligations.

At the consolidated mining operations, an operating loss at Centennial was partially offset by improved results at MLMC and an increase in royalty and other income. At Centennial, excluding the asset retirement obligation charge, the operating loss in the third quarter of 2015 resulted from a reduction in tons sold and higher labor and outside service expense, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense due to the $105.1 million impairment charge taken in December 2014. The higher labor costs were partially due to a $0.5 million charge for severance as a result of the decision to cease mining operations at Centennial by the end of 2015. Operating results at MLMC improved as a result of an increase in tons sold due to a decrease in outage days at the customer's power plant during the third quarter of 2015 compared with 2014.

NACoal recognized a net loss of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared with net income of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. The change in net income (loss) was due to the factors affecting operating profit (loss) and the change in the income tax provision (benefit) partially offset by decreased interest expense as a result of a reduction in average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2015. The change in income taxes was primarily due to a change in the effective income tax rate driven by a change in the mix of earnings and the impact of discrete items.

First Nine Months of 2015 Compared with First Nine Months of 2014

The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the first nine months of 2015 compared with the first nine months of 2014:



	Revenues
2014	$	139,492
Increase (decrease) from:
Consolidated mining operations	(16,004		)
Royalty and other income	(1,523		)
2015	$	121,965

Revenues decreased in the first nine months of 2015 compared with the first nine months of 2014 as a result of a decrease in revenues at the consolidated mining operations and a reduction in royalty and other income. The decrease at the consolidated mining operations was primarily due to a reduction in higher-priced tons sold at Centennial partially offset by an increase in tons sold at MLMC. The increase in tons sold at MLMC was primarily the result of fewer outage days at its customer's power plant in the first nine months of 2015 compared with the comparable 2014 period.

The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit for the first nine months of 2015 compared with the first nine months of 2014:



	Operating Profit
2014	$	11,198
Increase (decrease) from:
Centennial asset retirement obligation charge	(7,526		)
Consolidated mining operations	(2,538		)
Royalty and other income	(349		)
Reimbursement of damage to customer-owned equipment in 2014	1,043
Earnings of unconsolidated mines	793
Gain on sale of assets	653
Other selling, general and administrative expenses	305
2015	$	3,579

Operating profit decreased in the first nine months of 2015 from the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to a charge related to an increase in Centennial's asset retirement obligation and unfavorable results at the consolidated mining operations partially offset by the absence of a $1.0 million charge to reimburse a customer for damage to certain customer-owned equipment at the limerock dragline mining operations, an increase in earnings of unconsolidated mines mainly from higher contractual compensation levels and a gain on the sale of certain assets. See Note 12 for further discussion of NACoal's asset retirement obligations.

At the consolidated mining operations, an operating loss at Centennial was partially offset by improved results at MLMC. At Centennial, excluding the asset retirement obligation charge, an increased operating loss in the first nine months of 2015 resulted from a reduction in tons sold and higher labor and outside service expense, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense at Centennial due to the $105.1 million impairment charge taken in December 2014. The higher labor costs were partially due to a $0.5 million charge for severance as a result of the decision to cease mining operations at Centennial by the end of 2015. Improved operating results at MLMC were primarily attributable to an increase in tons sold as a result of a decrease in outage days at the customer's power plant during the first nine months of 2015 compared with 2014.

NACoal recognized net income of $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with net income of $8.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit. In addition, NACoal recognized a $1.0 million after-tax charge to establish an allowance against the receivable from NACC India's customer as well as a $1.4 million discrete tax benefit resulting from the conclusion of the 2011 and 2012 U.S. federal tax return examinations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
