SunCoke Energy, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
LISLE, Ill., Aug 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported second quarter 2011 net income attributable to net parent investment of $22.4 million, compared with net income attributable to net parent investment of $44.3 million for the same period in 2010.
Second Quarter 2011 Overview:
- Revenues increased 8 percent to $378.0 million versus the second quarter 2010.
- Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $21.4 million and $37.6 million, down 63 percent and 45 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2010 primarily due to the impact of contractual amendments with ArcelorMittal.
- Total coke production increased to 1.33 million tons.
- Total domestic coke capacity utilization improved to 100% in the second quarter.
- Compared to the first quarter 2011, Adjusted EBITDA rose 42 percent.
"We delivered improved operating and financial results in the second quarter versus the first quarter," said Frederick "Fritz" Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. "This performance was led by the Other Domestic Coke segment, particularly at our Indiana Harbor facility, where we improved results in the quarter but are still operating at higher operating and maintenance cost levels than we would like to see going forward. For the balance of the year, we remain focused on driving continued improvement at Indiana Harbor, executing a successful startup of operations at our new Middletown, Ohio, facility while expanding our coal mining production." Henderson further noted that, "We also recently marked important milestones, including the initial public offering of SunCoke Energy common stock and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Global Coke Limited in India for a minority investment in this independent cokemaker."

(1) Reflects impact of contract amendments with ArcelorMittal that became effective in first quarter 2011. Had these revised provisions been in place in 2010, revenues, operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and net income attributable to net parent investment (assuming a tax rate of 37 percent) would have been $19.3 million, $19.3 million, $19.3 million and $12.2 million lower, respectively, in second quarter 2010.
(2) See definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA/ton and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA elsewhere in this release.
Revenues increased for the quarter primarily due to higher sales in our Other Domestic Coke segment and the contribution from Harold Keene Coal Company, Inc. (HKCC), which was acquired in January 2011. These increases were offset by a lower sales price in the Jewell Coke segment resulting from contractual amendments with ArcelorMittal that became effective in the first quarter 2011. The contract amendments eliminated the fixed adjustment factor in the coke pricing formula and as a result, the impact of coal sales prices on the financial results of the Jewell Coke segment have been significantly reduced. The amendments also increased the operating cost and fixed fee components the Company receives under its Jewell Coke and Haverhill contracts with ArcelorMittal and extended the take-or-pay terms of these contracts to 2020.
Operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and net income attributable to net parent investment declined in the second quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2010 due to the impact of the contract amendment discussed above and higher costs primarily related to corporate spending associated with public company readiness and headquarters relocation. These decreases were partially offset by improvements at our Haverhill facility due to improved operating cost recovery and higher steam revenues and production volumes at our Granite City facility.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Jewell Coke
The Jewell Coke segment consists of the operations of the Company's cokemaking facilities in Vansant, VA. Substantially all of the metallurgical coal used at our Jewell cokemaking facility is supplied from our coal mining operations.

(1) Reflects impact of contract amendments with ArcelorMittal that became effective in first quarter 2011. Had these revised provisions been in place in 2010, segment earnings and adjusted EBITDA would have each been $23.6 million lower in the second quarter 2010.
(2) See definitions of Segment Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA/ton and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA elsewhere in this release.
- The decline in segment earnings and Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by a $38.9 million decrease in operating margins, which were adversely impacted by lower sales pricing as a result of the contract amendments with ArcelorMittal and higher internal coal transfer pricing.
- The ArcelorMittal contract amendments represented $23.6 million of the decline in operating margins.
- Internal coal transfer pricing also negatively impacted Jewell Coke operating margins by $13.6 million, with a corresponding increase in the earnings of the Coal Mining segment, as coal transfer prices increased from $103.86 per ton in the second quarter 2010 to $156.12 per ton in the second quarter 2011. Had the internal transfer price of coal been equal to the contract price of $165 per ton in the Jewell segment's coke sales price, earnings would have decreased by $2.3 million in the Jewell segment with an equal and offsetting increase in the Coal Mining segment, which would reduce adjusted EBITDA per ton to approximately $62 per ton.
- In addition, lower sales volumes reduced segment earnings and Adjusted EBITDA by $3.5 million. The higher volume in second quarter 2010 was related to spot coke sales from inventory during the quarter.
Other Domestic Coke
Other Domestic Coke consists of our cokemaking facilities and heat recovery operations at the Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, and Granite City plants in East Chicago, Indiana, Franklin Furnace, Ohio and Granite City, Illinois, respectively. The Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility is owned by a partnership where third-party partners hold a combined 34 percent noncontrolling profit-sharing interest.

(2) See definitions of Segment Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA/ton and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA elsewhere in this release.
- The increase in segment earnings and Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to the previously discussed ArcelorMittal contract changes that increased operating cost reimbursement and fixed fee revenue by $4.3 million under the Haverhill-ArcelorMittal contract. Additionally, beginning in 2011, the operating cost reimbursement mechanism in the Haverhill-AK Steel contract changed from a fixed recovery mechanism to one based on annually budgeted costs, increasing operating cost recovery by $3.7 million. In addition, lower operating costs at Haverhill also contributed $1.5 million to the improvement in operating results in the second quarter 2011.
- Higher steam sales at Granite City contributed $2.5 million in segment earnings.
- These increases were partially offset by $7.5 million in lower operating margins at Indiana Harbor due to approximately $3.7 million of higher maintenance and repair costs to address oven reliability issues, which were not recoverable from our customer, $2.3 million in lower coal-to-coke yield results and a $1.2 million ($0.8 million attributable to net parent investment and $0.4 million attributable to noncontrolling interests) lower of cost or market adjustment on coke in inventory purchased to meet the projected Indiana Harbor production shortfall.
- Based on the lower results of Indiana Harbor, operating income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased segment earnings by $0.6 million in the second quarter 2011, a decrease of $1.6 million from the second quarter 2010.
- Increased depreciation expense of $1.2 million at Granite City and $0.5 million at Haverhill related to prior year capital expenditures further decreased segment earnings for the second quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2010.
International Coke
The International Coke segment consists of a cokemaking facility in Vitória, Brazil, which we operate for a Brazilian affiliate of ArcelorMittal. The International Coke segment 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 plant.
- Segment earnings and Adjusted EBITDA both increased $0.8 million, to $0.8 million in the second quarter 2011. These increases are primarily due to currency transaction losses incurred in the second quarter 2010.
Coal Mining
Coal Mining consists of our metallurgical coal mining activities conducted in Virginia and West Virginia, and includes the results of the Harold Keene Coal Company, Inc. (HKCC), which was acquired in January 2011. A substantial portion of the metallurgical coal produced by our coal mining operations is sold to our Jewell segment for conversion into metallurgical coke.

(2) Includes intercompany and third party sales.
(3) Includes sales to affiliates, including sales to Jewell Coke established via a transfer pricing agreement. The transfer price to Jewell Coke was $156.12 and $103.96 for the second quarter 2011 and the second quarter 2010, respectively.
- Higher intersegment sales to the Jewell Coke segment, driven by an increase in transfer pricing, and higher third-party sales primarily drove the increase in segment earnings and Adjusted EBITDA and were partially offset by an increase in operating costs.
- Internal coal transfer pricing between Jewell Coke and Coal Mining segments have equal and offsetting impacts on segment earnings. In second quarter 2011, had the internal transfer price of coal been equal to the contract price of $165 per ton in the Jewell segment's coke sales price, earnings would have increased by $2.3 million in the Coal Mining segment with an equal and offsetting decrease in the Jewell Coke segment, which would have increased Adjusted EBITDA per ton to approximately $34 per ton.
- Operating costs increased due to operational disruptions from the interference with a gas well, lower productivity due to labor shortages, incremental costs associated with training and variations in the thickness and quality of coal seams that reduced Jewell production volumes.
Corporate and Other
- Corporate expenses increased $7.9 million to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase in corporate expenses was driven by additional headcount required to operate as a public company and $4.0 million in restructuring costs. Net financing income was $3.5 million and $3.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
COMBINED CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash Flows
- Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $168.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to increases in working capital in 2011, largely due to the increase in coke inventory to meet the projected shortfall at Indiana Harbor and to a lesser extent higher coal inventory, higher accounts receivable, lower accrued liabilities and lower net income.
- Capital expenditures were $128.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, up from $66.0 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the construction of our new facility in Middletown, Ohio.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The financial results contained in this release relate to periods that ended prior to the completion of our initial public offering of 13,340,000 shares of common stock (the "IPO") on July 26, 2011 and prior to the effective dates of the agreements we entered into with Sunoco, Inc. ("Sunoco") in connection with the IPO and our separation from Sunoco. Consequently, the financial results and related discussion of financial condition and results of operations contained herein pertain to the operations that comprise the cokemaking and coal mining operations of Sunoco prior to their transfer to us.
DEFINITIONS
- Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for sales discounts and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling 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 our customers of a portion of nonconventional fuels tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe that 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 which 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 interest 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. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company's net assets and is indicative of the Company's ability to generate cash from operations. See the tables (unaudited) at the end of this release for reconciliations of net income and operating income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
- Adjusted EBITDA/Ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold.
- Segment Earnings represents operating income attributable to net parent investment of our segments: Jewell Coke, Other Domestic Coke, International Coke and Coal Mining.
