SunCoke Energy, Inc. Announces Strong First Quarter 2017 Results; Discussions On Proposed Simplification Transaction Terminated - SunCoke Energy (NYSE:SXC)

LISLE, Ill., April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Net income attributable to SXC was up $5.1 million to $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, in the current period compared to a loss of $4.1 million, or $0.06 per share, in the prior year period
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $55.6 million, up $11.8 million versus the prior year period
Reaffirm full-year 2017 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $220 million to $235 million
Discussions with the SXCP Conflicts Committee regarding the proposed Simplification Transaction were terminated with no agreement reached

SunCoke Energy, Inc. SXC today reported results for the first quarter 2017, which reflect significant year-over-year improvement driven primarily by higher logistics volumes and lower corporate costs.

SunCoke Energy, Inc.

"We are pleased with our first quarter performance, and this fast start has positioned us to deliver upon our financial guidance in 2017," said Fritz Henderson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc.

The Company also announced the termination of discussions with the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. regarding the proposed Simplification Transaction, announced on October 31, 2016. The Conflicts Committee and its independent advisors reviewed the proposal made by SXC and had several discussions with the Company over the last few months regarding the potential transaction. At this time, the parties have determined that they will not be able to reach an agreement and have therefore terminated discussions regarding the Simplification Transaction.

"While we continue to believe strongly in the merits of a simplified structure, we were focused on taking a disciplined approach and ultimately it became clear we would not reach an agreement with the Conflicts Committee on a value, through the exchange ratio, for the unaffiliated LP units," said Henderson. "Going forward, we still see real opportunity for SunCoke as we remain well-positioned to leverage our strong competitive advantages in cokemaking and logistics. We remain focused on executing on our strategic initiatives to drive operational excellence and optimize our asset base as we seek to capitalize on the continued improvement in the steel and coal markets."

FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2017		2016		Increase/(Decrease)
Revenues	$	309.7	$	311.1	$	(1.4)
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	55.6	$	43.8	$	11.8
Net income (loss) attributable to SXC	$	1.0	$	(4.1)	$	5.1

(1)	See definition of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation elsewhere in this release.

Revenues during the first quarter of 2017 declined $1.4 million compared to the same prior year period, reflecting lower sales volumes in our Domestic Coke segment, mostly offset by higher sales volumes in our Coal Logistics segment.

Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of 2017 increased $11.8 million to $55.6 million, primarily due to higher sales volumes in our Coal Logistics segment as compared the same prior year period, as well as lower corporate costs and the benefit of the divestiture of our coal mining business. 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 in the quarter.

Net income attributable to SXC was up $5.1 million to $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, which included the operating impacts discussed above, partially offset by the absence of $20.4 million of debt extinguishment gains recorded in the prior year period, net of a $10.7 million non-cash impairment charge associated with the divestiture of our Coal Mining business in the first quarter 2016.

FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Domestic Coke
Domestic Coke consists of cokemaking facilities and heat recovery operations at our Jewell, Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown plants.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions, except per ton amounts)	2017		2016		Increase/(Decrease)
Revenues	$	278.7	$	289.0	$	(10.3)
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	49.7	$	54.3	$	(4.6)
Sales volumes (thousands of tons)		946		1,000		(54)
Adjusted EBITDA per ton⁽²⁾	$	52.54	$	54.30	$	(1.76)

(1)	See definition of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation elsewhere in this release.
(2)	Reflects Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke sales volumes.

Revenues decreased $10.3 million, reflecting a decrease in sales volume of 54 thousand tons, primarily due to lower production at Indiana Harbor associated with oven rebuilds as well as lower sales to AK Steel at Haverhill, for which AK Steel made make-whole payments.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.6 million, reflecting lower coke sales volumes and $2.3 million of higher operating and maintenance spending driven by oven rebuilds at Indiana Harbor in the quarter. The remaining coke facilities were consistent with prior year performance, with $2.4 million of favorable contracted coal prices at our Jewell facility offset by unfavorable coal cost recovery and Middletown's return to a normalized run-rate performance after a record year in 2016.

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.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions, except per ton amounts)	2017		2016		Increase/(Decrease)
Revenues	$	20.2	$	13.0	$	7.2
Intersegment sales	$	5.1	$	5.2	$	(0.1)
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	13.1	$	5.9	$	7.2

(2)	Reflects inbound tons handled during the period.
(3)	Reflects tons billed under take-or-pay contracts where services have not yet been performed.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were up both up $7.2 million, 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. In the fourth quarter of 2016, ArcelorMittal Brazil redeemed SunCoke's indirectly held preferred and common equity interest in Sol Coqueria Tubarão S.A. ("Brazil Investment") for consideration of $41.0 million, half of which was received in the fourth quarter 2016 and the other half of which was received in the first quarter 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.1 million to $4.4 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 $11.6 million in first quarter 2017, an improvement of $7.1 million versus first quarter 2016. The improvement includes a $2.8 million year-over-year benefit associated with the divestiture of our coal mining business completed in April 2016. The remaining improvement was driven by the absence of costs to resolve certain legal matters incurred in the prior year period, as well as favorable mark-to-market adjustments in deferred compensation caused by changes in the Company's share price and the Partnership's unit price, partially offset by $1.5 million of costs in connection with the Simplification Transaction in the current year period.

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 generated by operations is estimated to be between $140 million and $155 million
Cash taxes are projected to be between $8 million and $15 million

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, (gain) loss 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.
Simplification Transaction the Company's proposal, made on October 31, 2016, to acquire all of the Partnership's common units not already owned by the Company.

	(1)	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 10-year 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 10-year transition period. After the 10-year transition period, cokemaking entities in the Partnership will become taxable as corporations.

		As a result of the Final Regulations, the Partnership recorded deferred income tax expense of $148.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 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, this entire deferred tax expense was recognized during the first quarter of 2017. However, the Company had already recorded $84.4 million of the deferred 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 three months ended March 31, 2017. This incremental tax impact is solely attributable to 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.

The first quarter of 2016 includes a gain of $1.5 million on the divestiture of certain coal mining permits and related reclamation obligations.
	(3)	The Partnership amended its contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group during the first quarter of 2016. These amendments resulted in a gain of $3.7 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
