NACCO Industries Reports Q3 2026 Revenue Growth Driven by Contract Mining
NACCO Industries (NC) reported third-quarter 2026 results characterized by a 5% year-over-year increase in total revenues to $80.5 million. The growth was primarily fueled by a significant 75% surge in contract mining revenue, reaching $22.2 million, following the ramp-up of dragline services in Palm Beach County and new agreements in Arizona. Despite strong operational performance—including a 63% increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA to $20.4 million—net income fell to $1.44 per diluted share from $1.78 in the prior year, largely due to higher income tax expenses. The company also faced $3.4 million in costs related to solar project curtailments following a terminated power purchase agreement. Looking ahead, NACCO is preparing for significant capital investments, including $16 million planned for Sawtooth Mining equipment in 2027. While contract mining shows momentum, management cautioned that fourth-quarter utility coal mining results may face headwinds from reduced customer demand and rising diesel fuel costs.
