LISLE, Ill.--()--SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported third quarter 2012 net income attributable to shareholders of $31.6 million, up from $18.2 million in third quarter 2011.
“Our entire U.S. cokemaking fleet continued to deliver strong results, with our new Middletown facility fueling a significant portion of the increase. Adjusted EBITDA increased 62 percent to $72.4 million in the third quarter and U.S. Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA per ton at $61 exceeded our target.”
“Our third quarter performance demonstrates the power of a consistent focus on operational excellence,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. “Our entire U.S. cokemaking fleet continued to deliver strong results, with our new Middletown facility fueling a significant portion of the increase. Adjusted EBITDA increased 62 percent to $72.4 million in the third quarter and U.S. Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA per ton at $61 exceeded our target.
Henderson continued, “Our coal mining segment finished the quarter up slightly as a result of higher year-over-year sales prices and volumes and the favorable impact of a contingent consideration adjustment. However, higher production costs and reject rates offset most of this benefit. In light of the continuing weak coal environment, we are taking more aggressive actions to reduce costs and improve productivity in our coal mining business to position ourselves for 2013.”
Henderson added, “With year end approaching, we have a clearer view into our 2012 expected results and estimate that full year 2012 Adjusted EBITDA will be $255 million to $270 million and 2012 capital expenditures will total about $75 million.”

Total revenues rose 19 percent to $480.5 million in third quarter 2012, largely driven by sales at our new Middletown facility, which contributed $76.7 million to revenue.
The climb in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, which grew 76 percent and 62 percent, respectively, reflected the contribution of our Middletown facility, lower corporate costs and continued solid performance across all our cokemaking facilities.
The 74 percent increase in net income attributable to shareholders in third quarter 2012 was led by the contribution of our Middletown facility and lower corporate costs. This increase was partly offset by financing costs related to our standalone corporate structure.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Jewell Coke
The Jewell Coke segment consists of our cokemaking operations in Vansant, Virginia. Substantially all of the metallurgical coal used at our Jewell cokemaking facility is supplied from our coal mining operations. Beginning in first quarter 2012, the intersegment coal costs charged to the Jewell Coke segment are reflective of the contract price Jewell Coke charges its customer. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.

- Revenues increased by $3.2 million in third quarter 2012 due to the pass-through of higher coal costs partly offset by lower coke sales volumes. Sales volumes were down due to the timing of shipments to our customer.
- Adjusted EBITDA declined slightly in third quarter 2012 due to lower coke sales volumes.
Other Domestic Coke
Other Domestic Coke consists of cokemaking facilities and heat recovery operations at our Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown plants. The Middletown cokemaking facility commenced operations in October 2011. On September 30, 2011, we increased our ownership interest in the partnership that owns the Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility from 66 percent to 85 percent by acquiring the interest held by one of the unaffiliated third-party partners.

(2) Excludes income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in Indiana Harbor.
- Our Middletown facility contributed $76.7 million to segment revenues and $16.9 million to segment Adjusted EBITDA in third quarter 2012.
- Excluding Middletown, segment Adjusted EBITDA benefited from solid performance across all our facilities reflecting better coal-to-coke yield and operating expense recovery versus third quarter 2011, partly offset by lower energy sales. Our increased ownership interest in our Indiana Harbor facility also benefited Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $1.6 million by reducing income attributable to noncontrolling interest.
International Coke
International Coke consists of a cokemaking facility in Vitória, Brazil, which we operate for a Brazilian affiliate of ArcelorMittal. International Coke earns operating and technology licensing fees based on production, and recognizes a dividend on its preferred stock investment, generally in the fourth quarter, assuming certain minimum production levels are achieved at the facility.
- Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined from $1.7 million to $0.9 million primarily due to lower sales volumes.
Coal Mining
Coal Mining consists of our metallurgical coal mining activities conducted in Virginia and West Virginia. A substantial portion of the metallurgical coal produced by our coal mining operations is sold to our Jewell Coke segment for conversion into metallurgical coke. Beginning in first quarter 2012, intersegment coal revenues for sales to the Jewell Coke segment are reflective of the contract price Jewell Coke charges its customer. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.

(2) Includes production from Company and contract-operated mines.
(3) Includes sales to affiliates.
- Coal Mining segment revenues benefited from higher average sale prices and higher internal sales volumes. The higher average sales price reflects a favorable shift in mix with mid-volatile coal representing a larger proportion of coal sold in third quarter 2012.
- The increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects higher sales of mid-volatile coal offset by increased production costs reflecting a change in mix of coal mined as mid-volatile coal, which generally costs more to mine, represented a larger portion of third quarter 2012 production. Additionally, the current period benefited by approximately $1.3 million due to a favorable fair value adjustment related to our Harold Keene Coal Co., Inc. contingent consideration arrangement.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses declined by $6.6 million to $7.7 million in third quarter 2012. The decline primarily reflects favorable comparison to third quarter 2011, which included $2.5 million of Middletown costs, $1.9 million in lower charges from Sunoco and $1.7 million of restructuring costs.
Financing (Expense)/Income
Net financing expense was $12.2 million for third quarter 2012 as compared with financing expense of $3.3 million in third quarter 2011. The $8.9 million change is primarily a result of two factors: $4.6 million of capitalized interest related to projects at our Middletown facility in third quarter 2011 and $3.5 million of higher interest expense in the current period versus the same prior year period due to the timing of our 2011 debt issuance.
COMBINED CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities rose $19.1 million to $77.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to strong business results driven by our new Middletown facility.
Capital expenditures were $40.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $143.6 million. As a comparison, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, capital expenditures of $184.2 million included $145.4 million related to the construction of our Middletown facility.
2012 OUTLOOK

- Earnings per share (assuming a 22 percent tax rate) is expected to be between $1.30 and $1.40
- Full year 2012 Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be between $255 million and $270 million
- Capital expenditures and investments are anticipated to be approximately $75 million
- Corporate costs are expected to be between $29 million and $32 million
- Domestic coke production is expected to be in excess of 4.3 million tons
- Coal production is projected to be approximately 1.4 million tons
- Free cash flow is expected to be in excess of $100 million

DEFINITIONS
- Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for sales discounts and the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. EBITDA reflects sales discounts included as a reduction in sales and other operating revenue. The sales discounts represent the sharing with customers of a portion of nonconventional fuel tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since they represent sharing of a tax benefit that is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted EBITDA also reflects the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. 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. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as determined by GAAP, and calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income as determined in accordance with GAAP. See the tables (unaudited) at the end of this release for reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
- Adjusted EBITDA per Ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold.
- Free Cash Flow equals cash from operations less cash used in investing activities less cash distributions to noncontrolling interests. Management believes Free Cash Flow information enhances an investor’s understanding of a business’ ability to generate cash. Free Cash Flow does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses.
