Revenues in first quarter 2019 increased $15.6 million from the prior year period,
primarily reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices in our
Domestic Coke segment.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter decreased $1.8 million, primarily driven by adverse weather
conditions, which impacted both our Domestic Coke and Logistics
segments.
Net income attributable to SXCP in the first quarter 2019 was
$4.5 million, down $7.7 million versus the prior year period. The
decrease in the current period was driven by the operating results
discussed above and higher depreciation expense driven by revisions
in estimated useful lives of certain assets in our Domestic Coke
segment made during the third quarter 2018.
FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT INFORMATION
Domestic Coke
Domestic Coke consists of cokemaking
facilities and heat recovery operations at our Haverhill,

Revenues increased $14.8 million
primarily reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased driven by lower coal-to-coke yields
primarily due to the impact from heavy rainfalls, which elevated
coal moisture levels. This decrease was partially offset by a
$1.0 million benefit from the timing
of planned outage costs.
Logistics
Logistics consists of the handling and
mixing services of coal and other aggregates operated by SXCP at
our Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Lake Terminal and Kanawha
River Terminals ("KRT").

CMT during the current period.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses were
$4.1 million in the first quarter
2019, which was comparable with the prior year period of
$4.2 million.

DEFINITIONS
- Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for any
loss on extinguishment of debt, changes to our contingent
consideration liability related to our acquisition of CMT and/or
transaction costs incurred as part of the Simplification
Transaction. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be
considered an alternative to net income or operating income under
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("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
Partnership'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 an
alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure
of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
- Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP equals Adjusted
EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling
interests.
- Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA plus
sponsor support and Logistics deferred revenue, less net cash paid
for interest expense, ongoing capital expenditures, accruals for
replacement capital expenditures, and cash distributions to
noncontrolling interests; plus amounts received under the Omnibus
Agreement and acquisition expenses deemed to be Expansion Capital
under our Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash Flow is a
non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and
external users of SXCP's financial statements, such as industry
analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use to
assess:
-
- SXCP's operating performance as compared to other publicly
traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis;
- the ability of SXCP's assets to generate sufficient cash flow
to make distributions to SXCP's unitholders;
- SXCP's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital
expenditures; and
- the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure
projects and the returns on investment of various investment
opportunities.
We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful
information to investors in assessing SXCP's financial condition
and results of operations. Distributable Cash Flow should not be
considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash
flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial
performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.
Distributable Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical
tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net
income and net cash provided by operating activities and used in
investing activities. Additionally, because Distributable Cash Flow
may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, our
definition of Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing
its utility.
- Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio equals
Distributable Cash Flow divided by estimated distributions to the
limited and general partners.
- Operating Cash Flow Coverage Ratio equals net cash
provided by operating activities divided by total estimated
distributions to the limited and general partners. Operating cash
flow is generally expected to be higher than Distributable Cash
Flow as Distributable Cash Flow is further reduced by certain cash
reserves including capital expenditures, an investing cash flow
item. Additionally, Distributable Cash Flow represents only the
Partnership's share of available cash by excluding Adjusted EBITDA
attributable to noncontrolling interest, while operating cash flow
is reported on a consolidated basis.
- Ongoing capital expenditures ("capex") are capital
expenditures made to maintain the existing operating capacity of
our assets and/or to extend their useful lives. Ongoing capex also
includes new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or
effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capex does not include
normal repairs and maintenance, which are expensed as incurred, or
significant capital expenditures. For purposes of calculating
distributable cash flow, the portion of ongoing capex attributable
to SXCP is used.
- Replacement capital expenditures ("capex") represents an
annual accrual necessary to fund SXCP's share of the estimated
costs to replace or rebuild our facilities at the end of their
working lives. This accrual is estimated based on the average
quarterly anticipated replacement capital that we expect to incur
over the long term to replace our major capital assets at the end
of their working lives. The replacement capex accrual estimate will
be subject to review and prospective change by SXCP's general
partner at least annually and whenever an event occurs that causes
a material adjustment of replacement capex, provided such change is
approved by our conflicts committee.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements included in this press release constitute
"forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements
include all statements that are not historical facts and may be
identified by the use of such words as "believe," "expect," "plan,"
"project," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict,"
"potential," "continue," "may," "will," "should" or the negative of
these terms or similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements are inherently uncertain and involve significant known
and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the
control of SXCP) that could cause actual results to differ
materially.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
domestic and international economic, political, business,
operational, competitive, regulatory, and/or market factors
affecting SXCP, as well as uncertainties related to: pending or
future litigation, legislation or regulatory actions; liability for
remedial actions or assessments under existing or future
environmental regulations; gains and losses related to acquisition,
disposition or impairment of assets; recapitalizations; access to,
and costs of, capital; the effects of changes in accounting rules
applicable to SXCP; and changes in tax, environmental and other
laws and regulations applicable to SXCP's businesses.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, but are based upon the current knowledge, beliefs and
expectations of SXCP management, and upon assumptions by SXCP
concerning future conditions, any or all of which ultimately may
prove to be inaccurate. The reader should not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date of this press release. SXCP does not intend, and
expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter its
forward-looking statements (or associated cautionary language),
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
after the date of this press release except as required by
applicable law.
SXCP has included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission cautionary language identifying important
factors (but not necessarily all the important factors) that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statement made by SXCP. For information
concerning these factors, see SXCP's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings such as its annual and quarterly reports and
current reports on Form 8-K, copies of which are available free of
charge on SXCP's website at www.suncoke.com. All
forward-looking statements included in this press release are
expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary
statements. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in
this release also could have material adverse effects on
forward-looking statements.
