SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported results for the
second quarter 2017, which reflect comparable consolidated
operating results and current period charges related to the debt
refinancing completed in the quarter.
"Our second quarter operating performance finished in line with
our expectations and positions us to achieve our full-year
financial guidance targets in 2017," said Fritz Henderson, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. "In the quarter, work
commenced on our 2017 Indiana Harbor oven rebuild campaign and we
successfully completed our scheduled outage at Granite City."
Additionally, the company began executing against its capital
allocation strategy to purchase SXCP units in the open market.
Through July 26, 2017, the company
had spent approximately $27 million
to acquire 1.6 million SXCP units. The company also completed its
debt refinancing at both SXC and SXCP.
Henderson continued, "We remained focused on allocating capital
in the most efficient manner for SXC shareholders and are pleased
with the execution of our SXCP unit purchases to-date.
Additionally, we successfully completed our debt refinancing which

Revenues during the second quarter 2017 increased $30.5 million compared to the same prior year
period, reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices in our
Domestic Coke segment as well as higher sales volumes in our Coal
Logistics segment.
Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter 2017 increased
$1.0 million to $47.5 million, primarily due to higher sales
volumes in our Coal Logistics segment and higher technology and
licensing fees earned in our Brazil Coke segment. These
improvements were partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA in our
Domestic Coke segment, driven primarily by the impact of oven
rebuilds at our Indiana Harbor facility as well as the planned
outage at our Granite City
facility in the current year period.
Net loss attributable to SXC was $24.2
million, or $0.38 per share,
for the second quarter 2017 which is $19.6
million unfavorable to second quarter 2016 loss of
$4.6 million, or $0.07 per share. This change is driven primarily
by $20.2 million of debt
extinguishment costs related to our refinancing activities in the
current year period.

Reflects Domestic
Coke Adjusted EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke sales
volumes.
|
- Revenues increased $22.5 million,
reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices in our Domestic
Coke segment, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume of 39
thousand tons, primarily due to lower production at Indiana Harbor
associated with oven rebuilds in the current year period. Revenue
was also impacted by lower energy sales due to the planned outage
at our Granite City facility in
the current year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased $7.0
million, reflecting lower volumes as discussed above,
$3.5 million in higher operating and
maintenance spending at Indiana Harbor due primarily to the oven
rebuilds, as well as lower energy sales and higher operating and
maintenance spend for the planned outage at Granite City. Adjusted EBITDA was also
impacted by $1.0 million of favorable
contracted coal prices at our Jewell facility in the current year
period.
Coal Logistics
Coal Logistics consists of the coal
handling and mixing services operated by SXCP at Convent Marine
Terminal ("CMT") located on the Mississippi river in Louisiana, Lake Terminal in East Chicago, Indiana and Kanawha River
Terminals, LLC ("KRT"), which has terminals along the Ohio and
Kanawha rivers in West Virginia. Additionally, Dismal River
Terminal ("DRT"), located in Virginia adjacent to our Jewell Cokemaking
facility, is operated by SXC. DRT was formed to accommodate
Jewell in its direct procurement of third-party coal, beginning in
2016.

- Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were up $4.9 million and $4.6
million, respectively, driven by higher sales volumes at our
CMT and KRT terminals in the current year period.
Brazil Coke
Brazil Coke consists of a cokemaking facility in Vitória,
Brazil, which we operate for an
affiliate of ArcelorMittal.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.1
million to $4.5 million,
driven primarily by incremental technology and licensing fees
related to the addition of certain patents to our existing
intellectual property licensing agreement in the fourth quarter of
2016.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses,
which include costs related to our legacy coal mining business,
were $11.0 million in second quarter
2017, an improvement of $1.3 million
versus second quarter 2016. The improvement was driven partly by
lower legal costs.
2017 OUTLOOK
Our 2017 guidance is as follows:
- Domestic coke production is expected to be approximately 3.9
million tons
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between
$220 million and $235 million
- Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC is expected to be between
$130 million and $141 million,
reflecting the impact of public ownership in SXCP
- Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately
$80 million
- Cash flow from operations is estimated to be between
$128 million and $143 million
(updated post-refinancing)
- Cash taxes are projected to be between $6 million and $10 million (updated
post-refinancing)

DEFINITIONS
- Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest,
loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for impairments, coal
rationalization costs, changes to our contingent consideration
liability related to our acquisition of CMT and the expiration of
certain acquired contractual obligations. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives
to net income or operating income under GAAP and may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures in other businesses.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the
operating performance and liquidity of the Company's net assets and
its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures
and make distributions. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information
to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may
not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and
because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating
performance and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be
considered a substitute for net income, operating cash flow or any
other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP.
- Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC represents Adjusted
EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling
interests.

The Partnership
recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of its debt
refinancing activities during the second quarter of 2017. The
Partnership recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt as a result
of senior note repurchases through the first half of
2016.
|

|

|
In January 2017, the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") announced its decision to exclude
cokemaking as a qualifying income generating activity in its final
regulations (the "Final Regulations") issued under section
7704(d)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the
qualifying income exception for publicly traded partnerships.
However, the Final Regulations include a transition period for
activities that were reasonably interpreted to be qualifying income
and carried on by publicly traded partnerships prior to the Final
Regulations. The Partnership previously received a will-level
opinion from its counsel, Vinson & Elkins LLP, that the
Partnership's cokemaking operations generated qualifying income
prior to the Final Regulations. Therefore, the Partnership believes
it had a reasonable basis to conclude its cokemaking operations
were considered qualifying income before the issuance of the new
regulations and as such expects to maintain its treatment as a
partnership through the transition period. Cokemaking entities in
the Partnership will become taxable as corporations on January 1,
2028, after the transition period ends.
|
|
|
|
As a result of the
Final Regulations, the Partnership recorded deferred income tax
expense of $148.6 million to set up its initial deferred income tax
liability during the first quarter of 2017, primarily related to
differences in the book and tax basis of fixed assets, which are
expected to exist at the end of the 10-year transition period when
the cokemaking operations become taxable. As the Company
consolidates the Partnership, the entire deferred income tax
expense was recognized during the first quarter of 2017. However,
the Company had already recorded $84.4 million of the deferred
income tax liability in its financial statements related to the
Company's share of the deferred tax liability for the book and tax
differences in its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the
net impact to the Company's deferred tax expense was $64.2 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This incremental tax
impact is solely attributable to the Partnership's public
unitholders. As such, an equal reduction to noncontrolling interest
was recorded. As a result, the Final Regulations have no impact to
net income attributable to the Company.

Prior to the
divestiture of our coal mining business, the Company incurred coal
rationalization costs including employee severance, contract
termination costs and other costs to idle mines incurred during the
execution of our coal rationalization plan.
|
(2)
|
As a result of the
increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability
during the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership recognized
expense of $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June
30, 2017. The Partnership amended its contingent consideration
terms with The Cline Group during the first quarter of 2016.
This amendment resulted in a gain of $3.7 million recorded during
the six months ended June 30, 2016.
|
(3)
|
In 2014, we finalized
the required permitting and engineering plan for a potential new
cokemaking facility to be constructed in Kentucky. However,
in June 2017, due to our focus on renewing our existing customer
contracts and the lack of any long-term customer commitment for a
majority of the facility's capacity, we decided to terminate the
project. As a result, during the second quarter of 2017, the
Company wrote-off previously capitalized engineering and land
deposit costs of $5.3 million. During the second quarter of 2016,
the Company wrote-off expiring land deposits related to the project
of $1.9 million.
|

|
In accordance with
the SEC's May 2016 update of its guidance on the appropriate use of
non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA does not include Coal
Logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP
revenue.
