Item 1. BUSINESS

General

NACCO Industries, Inc.® (NACCO) and its wholly owned subsidiary, NACCO Natural Resources Corporation® (NACCO Natural Resources and with NACCO collectively, the Company, we, our or us), bring natural resources to life by delivering aggregates, minerals, reliable fuels and environmental solutions through our robust portfolio of businesses. We operate under three business segments: Coal Mining, North American Mining® (NAMining) and Minerals Management. The Coal Mining segment operates surface coal mines for power generation companies. The NAMining segment is a trusted mining partner for producers of aggregates, activated carbon, lithium and other industrial minerals. The Minerals Management segment, which includes the Catapult Mineral Partners (Catapult) business, acquires and promotes the development of mineral interests. Mitigation Resources of North America® (Mitigation Resources) provides stream and wetland mitigation solutions as well as comprehensive reclamation and restoration construction services. In addition, ReGen Resources is pursuing opportunities to develop new power generation resources.

We have items not directly attributable to a reportable segment that are not included in the reported financial results of the operating segment. These items primarily include administrative costs related to public company reporting requirements, including management and board compensation, and the financial results of Bellaire Corporation (Bellaire), Mitigation Resources, ReGen Resources and other developing businesses. Bellaire manages our long-term liabilities related to former Eastern U.S. underground mining activities. 

NACCO was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1986 in connection with the formation of a holding company structure for a predecessor corporation organized in 1913. 

Business Strategy

Increasing demand for electricity, on-shoring and current federal policies are creating favorable macroeconomic trends within these industries. Management is confident in our trajectory and business prospects as well as longer-term growth opportunities. 

While we realize the coal mining industry continues to face challenges, we believe the current political environment may change the sentiment surrounding fossil fuel industry-related regulations. These developments are expected to further support coal as an essential part of the energy mix in the United States for the foreseeable future. 

NAMining is our primary platform for growth around mining activities. With a focus on operational excellence, scalability and driving profitable growth, NAM
