NEW YORK - Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) reported fourth quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, sending shares down 2.1% in after-hours trading.

For the fourth quarter, Warrior Met Coal reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $128.9 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
