On August 1, the company committed an additional $100 million for share repurchases in 2024 following the continued successful advancement at Centurion, settlement of the Shoal Creek insurance claim and a favorable free cash flow outlook for the remainder of the year. At June 30, Peabody had $569.6 million remaining under existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program.
