Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results show significant financial improvement with $33.3 million net income, up from $8.5 million year-over-year. The $75.3 million Adjusted EBITDA represents a 15.1% increase from last year. Key highlights include:

• Strategic elimination of black lung liabilities through a $36 million one-time payment, resulting in $9.5 million gain
• Extended Granite City agreement with U.S. Steel
• New three-year logistics contract with $12 million capital investment
• Increased 2024 EBITDA guidance to $260-270 million

The logistics segment shows particular strength with 37.2% revenue growth and 63.1% EBITDA improvement. Despite lower coal prices affecting revenues, core operations remain robust with full capacity utilization in domestic coke production.

Operations Analyst

The operational metrics reveal strong fundamentals across key business segments. The domestic coke production maintained full capacity with 1,027 thousand tons, showing resilient demand. The logistics segment handled 5,843 thousand tons, an impressive 17.8% increase year-over-year. The reduction in legacy liabilities through the DOL exemption streamlines operations and reduces future risks.

The new Kanawha River Terminal agreement and Granite City extension demonstrate strong customer relationships and operational flexibility. The $12 million capital investment signals confidence in long-term growth potential while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.

• Third quarter 2024 net income was $33.3 million, compared to $8.5 million in the prior year period; third quarter 2024 net income attributable to SXC was $30.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the prior year period
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $75.3 million, compared to $65.4 million in the prior year period
• Received a regulatory exemption from the United States Department of Labor (DOL), eliminating the majority of our legacy black lung liabilities in exchange for a one-time payment of $36.0 million, resulting in a one-time gain of $9.5 million
• Extended Granite City coke supply agreement with U.S. Steel through June 2025
• Signed a three-year, take-or-pay coal handling agreement at Kanawha River Terminal, beginning in Q2 2025; capital investment of $12 million to develop additional handling capacity
• Increasing full-year 2024 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ guidance range to $260 million - $270 million, reflecting favorable logistics performance, and the gain resulting from the DOL regulatory exemption

LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported third quarter 2024 results, reflecting strong operational performance from our cokemaking and logistics segments, and significant progress on our 2024 key initiatives.

"Our domestic coke fleet continued running at full capacity this quarter, and our logistics segment again delivered strong results," said Katherine Gates, President and CEO of SunCoke Energy, Inc. "We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the United States Department of Labor for a regulatory exemption that eliminates the majority of our legacy black lung liabilities, resulting in a $45.5 million reduction in the black lung benefits accrual on our balance sheet. This will result in lower annual legacy expenses, and eliminates potential higher collateral requirements in the future. Additionally, we executed a new barge-to-rail coal handling agreement at our Kanawha River Terminal, with a $12 million capital project to support the additional volume. We expect the contract to begin in Q2 2025 once the capital project is complete. Lastly, we reached an agreement with U.S. Steel for a 6-month extension of the cokemaking contract at our Granite City operations, with an option for U.S. Steel to extend for an additional 6 months. This agreement is part of our ongoing granulated pig iron project work." Gates continued, "We are increasing our full-year 2024 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $260 million - $270 million, reflecting favorable logistics performance, and the one-time gain from the elimination of the majority of our legacy black lung liabilities."

THIRD QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions)		2024			2023		Increase (decrease)
Revenues	$	490.1		$	520.4		$	(30.3	)
Net income attributable to SXC	$	30.7		$	7.0		$	23.7
Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$	75.3		$	65.4		$	9.9
(1) See definition of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) elsewhere in this release.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2024 decreased $30.3 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the pass-through of lower coal prices on our long-term, take-or-pay agreements.

Net income attributable to SXC increased $23.7 million from the same prior year period, primarily due to the one-time gain of $9.5 million on the elimination of the majority of our legacy black lung liabilities resulting from the DOL exemption. Net income attributable to SXC was also favorably impacted by lower depreciation and amortization expense, lower income tax expense, and higher transloading volumes and pricing in the Logistics segment, partially offset by lower coal-to-coke yields on our long-term, take-or-pay contracts in the Domestic Coke segment.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.9 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the one-time gain on the elimination of the majority of our legacy black lung liabilities resulting from the DOL exemption, and higher transloading volumes and pricing in the Logistics segment, partially offset by lower coal-to-coke yields on our long-term, take-or-pay contracts in the Domestic Coke segment.

SunCoke routinely announces material information to investors and the marketplace using press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, public conference calls, webcasts and SunCoke's website at https://www.suncoke.com/en/investors/overview. The information that SunCoke posts to its website may be deemed to be material.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to U.S. GAAP measures, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, other companies may calculate non-GAAP metrics differently than we do, thereby limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenues and net income. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included following the presentation of financial and operating results included at the end of this press release.

DEFINITIONS

• Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted for any impairments, restructuring costs, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, and/or transaction costs ("Adjusted EBITDA"). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures in other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure in assessing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC represents Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.
• Domestic logistics terminals represents Lake Terminal and Kanawha River Terminals.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Any statements made in this press release or during the related conference call that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our full-year 2024 outlook and guidance, our 2024 key initiatives, the ability of our domestic coke plants to continue to operate at full capacity, future dividends and the timing of such dividend payments, the expected lower annual legacy expenses and elimination of potential higher collateral requirements resulting from the DOL exemption, the anticipated timing, completion, and increased volume capabilities as a result of the capital investment project at the KRT logistics facility, and future sales commitments, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements represent only our present beliefs regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the control of SunCoke) that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year, as well as those described from time to time in our other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, SunCoke has included in its filings with the SEC 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 SunCoke.
