LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) today reported first quarter
2016 net income attributable to SXCP of $39.8 million as compared to
$12.6 million in the same prior year period. The quarter's results are
primarily driven by the benefit of the Convent Marine Terminal
acquisition and a gain on the extinguishment of debt we recognized from
our de-levering activities.
"Our cokemaking and coal logistics assets posted another strong
performance in the first quarter, and continue to perform in line with
expectations," said Fritz Henderson, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. "As we demonstrated
this quarter, we will continue to remain flexible and responsive to the
evolving industry landscape while working to optimize asset performance."
Henderson added, “We are also pleased with our continued progress
towards strengthening SXCP's balance sheet as we deploy the steady cash
flows generated from our take-or-pay contracts towards repurchasing
debt, and expect to continue meaningfully de-levering throughout the
balance of the year.”
The company reaffirmed its full year outlook for 2016 Adjusted EBITDA
attributable to SunCoke Energy Partners of $207 million to $217 million.
SXCP also reaffirmed its 2016 distributable cash flow guidance of $158
million to $172 million, which includes the assumed benefit of a full
year of sponsor support.

Revenues were $194.5 million in first quarter 2016, a decline of $8.8
million from the same prior year period. The decline was primarily due
to the pass-through of lower coal costs in our Domestic Coke segment,
partially offset by $7.7 million of revenue generated by our Convent
Marine Terminal ("CMT"), which was acquired in August of 2015.
Operating income decreased $0.5 million while Adjusted EBITDA increased
$9.1 million, respectively. First quarter 2016 results were positively
impacted by contributions from CMT, which increased Adjusted EBITDA by
$13.0 million. This increase was partially offset by lower steam revenue
as a result of the reorganization of Haverhill Chemicals LLC, whom we
previously supplied steam.
Net income attributable to SXCP was $39.8 million, an increase of $27.2
million from the same prior year period, primarily driven by $20.4
million of gains on extinguishment of debt recognized during the first
quarter 2016, as well as the items discussed above.
FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT INFORMATION
Domestic Coke
Domestic Coke segment consists of our 98 percent interest in the

-
Revenues were up $5.3 million, driven by a $7.7 million contribution
from CMT, partially offset by lower volumes at Kanawha River
Terminals, LLC.
-
Adjusted EBITDA was up $12.5 million, driven by a $13.0 million
contribution from CMT. CMT handled 945 thousand tons during the period.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other costs increased $1.2 million primarily due to a
higher allocation of costs from SunCoke.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased slightly to $12.5 million in first
quarter 2016, resulting from $3.3 million of interest on higher debt
balances, offset by interest savings resulting from our debt repurchase
activities.

DEFINITIONS
-
Adjusted EBITDA represents
earnings before interest, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for Coal Logistics
deferred revenue and changes to our contingent consideration liability
related to our acquisition of the CMT. Coal Logistics deferred revenue
adjusts for coal and liquid tons the Partnership did not handle, but
are included in Adjusted EBITDA as the associated take-or-pay fees are
billed to the customer. Deferred revenue on take-or-pay contracts is
recognized into GAAP income annually based on the terms of the
contract. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be
considered an alternative 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
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 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.
-
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 and includes capital expenditures
included in working capital at the end of the period.
-
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

“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

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

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.
