SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

 

   

Net income totaled $2.1 million in first quarter 2013, or $0.03 per diluted share, down from prior year reflecting the impact of accelerated depreciation, non-recurring debt transaction costs, unfavorable tax items and income attributable to the public unit holders of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA declined 5.8 percent to $52.3 million in the first quarter 2013 in line with our expectations, due to weak performance in our Coal Mining Segment and Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility, offset by strong performance at Middletown

 

   

Improved Domestic Coke results with Adjusted EBITDA of $61.1 million, an increase of 11.5 percent, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA per ton of $58

 

   

Coal Mining Segment Adjusted EBITDA was down $12.0 million as expected on flat sales volumes, reflecting the impact of a $50 per ton decline in the average coal sales price, offset by improved total cash production costs of $23 per ton

 

   

Re-affirm 2013 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share guidance of $205 million - $230 million and $0.30 - $0.55 per share, respectively

Lisle, IL (April 25, 2013) – SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported first quarter 2013 net income of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, down from net income of $16.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in first quarter 2012.

“We achieved several key strategic milestones in the first quarter with the completion of the initial public offering of SunCoke Energy Partners and closing on the VISA SunCoke joint venture in India. These key milestones lay a foundation for growth domestically and overseas.” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. “As expected, our Adjusted EBITDA was down in the quarter due to the significant decline in metallurgical coal prices and operating challenges at Indiana Harbor, where a major plant refurbishment is underway. These challenges were partly offset by strong performance at Middletown and coal mining cost reductions.

Henderson continued, “Looking ahead, I expect to sustain a high level of performance in our cokemaking business, make further progress in the refurbishment of Indiana Harbor and continue taking aggressive action in our coal mining business to enhance productivity and reduce costs.”

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

In first quarter 2013, total revenues dipped 5.7 percent to $453.9 million versus first quarter 2012, due to the pass-through of lower coal prices in our cokemaking business and the decline in average coal sales price.

Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were down 20.4 percent and 5.8 percent in first quarter 2013, respectively. The decline in operating income was primarily driven by weakness in our Coal Mining Segment and $4.3 million in accelerated depreciation at our Indiana Harbor plant where a major refurbishment is underway. Adjusted EBIDTA was primarily impacted by weakness in the Coal Mining Segment which was partly offset by continued strong performance at our Middletown facility and slightly lower corporate costs.

Net income attributable to shareholders fell by $14.8 million to $2.1 million in first quarter 2013. Factors negatively impacting net income included the write-down of unamortized debt issuance costs and other financing costs, unfavorable tax items and accelerated depreciation at our Indiana Harbor facility due to refurbishment and the attribution of income to public unit holders of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.

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. Beginning in the first quarter 2013, the Company combined its Jewell Coke and Other Domestic Coke segments into one segment called Domestic Coke due to the similarities of operations and contracts between the two segments. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Segment revenues were affected by the pass-through of lower coal costs and lower sales volumes, which was primarily due to operating challenges at Indiana Harbor and one less day of production and sales due to leap year in 2012.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.3 million driven by Middletown, reflecting better operating cost recovery, and favorable comparison to prior year, which included $4.0 million in startup costs and lower yields at this facility.

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 assuming certain minimum production levels are achieved at the facility.

 

   

Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.5 million to $1.6 million in first quarter 2013. Prior year results were affected by higher legal costs.

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 coke.

Total coal mining revenues (including sales to affiliates) declined due to a reduction in average sales price of approximately $50 per ton. Segment revenues (excluding sales to affiliates) were down due to lower average sale price and lower sales volumes.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by the decline in coal sales price, but was partly offset by approximately $23 per ton in lower cash production costs as a result of our coal action plan initiatives, including idling mines, reducing staff, upgrading equipment and installing a new cyclone system in our coal prep plant.

Corporate and Other

Corporate expenses declined by $1.0 million to $5.8 million in first quarter 2013. The decline was due to various factors including lower stock compensation expense, the favorable settlement of certain litigation and foreign exchange gains, which were partly offset by higher consulting fees.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense increased $3.8 million in first quarter 2013 to $15.8 million. Of the $3.8 million increase, $2.9 million was related to a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs due to the early pay down of a $225 million term loan and $0.8 million was related to debt issuance fees in connection with the public offering of debt for SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operations rose by $15.9 million to $12.8 million in the first quarter 2013. The increase was primarily due to working capital changes including a decrease in coke inventory, lower coal prices and higher accounts payable due to timing. Offsetting this was increased accounts receivable of $24.5 million due to the timing of the receipt of a customer payment. In addition, accrued liabilities were reduced by the early payment of $11.8 million in settlement of a sales discount liability.

Cash used in investing activities jumped $88.7 million to $98.2 million in first quarter 2013. The increase in capital and investment spending was principally due to our $67.7 million investment in the VISA SunCoke joint venture and $16.2 million used for the refurbishment of our Indiana Harbor facility.

DEFINITIONS

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for sales discounts and the interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to equity earnings in our unconsolidated affiliates. 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 includes EBITDA attributable to our unconsolidated affiliates. 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.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC equals Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA per Ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold. When applicable to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC, tons sold are prorated according to the respective ownership interest of SXC.
