SunCoke Energy, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General

Description of Business

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (“SunCoke Energy”, “Company”, "we", "our" and "us") is an independent owner and operator of five cokemaking facilities in the United States ("U.S.") and operator of a cokemaking facility in Brazil, in which we have a preferred stock investment. In March 2013, we formed a cokemaking joint venture in India called Visa SunCoke Limited (“VISA SunCoke”). In the second half of 2013, we acquired Lakeshore Coal Handling Corporation (“Lake Terminal”) and Kanawha River Terminals (“KRT”), which provide coal handling and blending services. Additionally, we own and operate coal mining operations in Virginia and West Virginia, which are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2. We report our business through four segments: Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke, India Coke and Coal Logistics.

Our consolidated financial statements include SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a publicly-traded partnership. We completed the initial public offering of the Partnership on January 24, 2013. At September 30, 2014, we owned the general partner of the partnership, which consists of a 2.0 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and owned a 54.0 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The remaining 44.0 percent interest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders.

We were formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) in 2010. On July 18, 2011 (the “Separation Date”), Sunoco contributed the subsidiaries, assets and liabilities that were primarily related to its cokemaking and coal mining operations to us in exchange for shares of our common stock. On January 17, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”), we became an independent, publicly-traded company following our separation from Sunoco (the "Distribution").

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the entire year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The results for our coal mining operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. Under this ASU, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09 but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted.

6

The application of this guidance is prospective from the date of adoption and applies only to disposals (or new classifications to held for sale) that have not been reported as discontinued operations in previously issued financial statements. The Company early adopted this ASU during the third quarter of 2014. See Note 2.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Labor Concentrations

The labor agreement at our Granite City cokemaking facility expired on August 31, 2014. A new labor agreement was ratified and is effective through August 31, 2017.

2. Coal Impairment Charges and Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2014, as part of the Company’s strategic evaluation of the coal mining business and realignment of the Company’s businesses and priorities, the Company solicited bids related to the potential sale of its coal mining operations. Due to the level of interest observed in the market, the Company concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the assets would be sold, but at that time the asset group did not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Due to the probable disposition of the assets as well as projected losses resulting from the weakening coal market, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived asset group.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company performed a probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows analysis which indicated that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. As such, the Company reduced the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their estimated fair value and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of$97.1 million. The fair value was determined based on estimated discounted cash flows from the coal mining assets, which reflected the weakness in the coal market and were considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions included (a) coal sales prices of $97 per ton to $149 per ton; (b) sales volumes of 1.6 milliontons to 1.8 milliontons; and (c) a 14.0 percentdiscount rate representing the estimated weighted average cost of capital. Various third party indicative offers for the assets were considered and were also included in the Company's assessment of the fair value of the asset group. In previous analyses, based upon the business plan and market expectations of coal prices at that time, the carrying value was recoverable and was substantially in excess of the undiscounted cash flows.  Recent changes in market conditions, specifically decreased coal sales price expectations, were included in our asset impairment analysis.

As a result of the probable sale of the business, the weakening coal market and the long-lived asset impairment discussed above, the Company also performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2014 for the coal mining reporting unit. This analysis concluded the fair value of the reporting unit, based on a discounted cash flows analysis, was less than the carrying amount. As a result, the Company recorded a$6.0 millionpre-tax impairment of the entire goodwill balance.

On July 17, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s coal mining business. The Company expects that the sale and/or other disposition of the Company’s coal mining business will occur in 2014. In conjunction with the expected sale of the coal mining business, the Company plans to enter into a long-term coal supply agreement with the buyer and may also agree to build and operate a coal preparation plant. 

Concurrent with this authorization, the coal mining operations are reflected as discontinued operations and the related net assets are presented as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain legacy coal mining assets (i.e. coal preparation plant and net pension assets) and liabilities (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations) are expected to be retained by the Company and are not part of the disposal group. These legacy assets and liabilities and related legacy costs are reported in Corporate and Other in continuing operations. The Company's coal mining business was previously reported in the Coal Mining reportable segment. The coal mining net assets and results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations and held for sale presentation.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the held for sale net assets to fair value less costs to sell which resulted in a$16.4 millionpre-tax impairment charge and related valuation allowance against the held for sale net assets. The valuation impairment charge of$16.4 millionand related$6.4 milliontax benefit were recorded in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This charge was in addition to the$88.0 millionasset and goodwill impairment and related $44.5 milliontax benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2014 related to coal assets now classified as held for sale. The remaining impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2014 on assets expected to be retained of$15.1 millionremains included in asset impairment with a corresponding tax benefit of$7.6

7

millionincluded in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were included in income from continuing operations.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur total pre-tax exit and disposal costs during the fourth quarter in the range of$10 millionto$15 million, of which$10 million to $14 million are anticipated to result in cash expenditures, including employee separation and retention costs for certain key management employees of approximately $1 million to $2 million and contract termination and other exit and disposal costs of approximately $9 million to $13 million. The Company has recorded $0.6 million of these exit and disposal costs to date in loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to record the remaining costs during the fourth quarter of 2014. The foregoing are estimates only and total actual costs relating to these actions will be recorded when the Company has finalized the sale/disposition plan.

In the event that a sale of the coal business does not occur, the Company will evaluate the various restructuring options to rationalize coal production over the near term and/or potentially cease coal production. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate with respect to the charges related to such potential actions. Any such charges could result in future cash expenditures.

3. Drop-Down Transaction

On May 9, 2014, SunCoke Energy contributed an additional33.0 percentinterest in the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities to the Partnership for total consideration of$365.0 million(the "Drop-Down"). After the Drop-Down, SunCoke Energy continued to own the general partner of the Partnership, which consisted of a2.0 percentownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and decreased its limited partner interest in the Partnership from 55.9 percent to 54.1 percent. The remaining43.9 percentinterest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders and was reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. We accounted for the Drop-Down as an equity transaction, which resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest and an increase in SunCoke's Equity of$83.7 million.

Total consideration received for the Drop-Down included2.7 million common units totaling $80.0 millionand $3.3 millionof general partner interests. In addition, the Partnership assumed and repaid approximately$271.3 millionof our outstanding debt and other liabilities, including a market premium of$11.4 millionto complete the tender of the senior unsecured notes. The remaining$10.4 millionof consideration consisted of a$3.4 millioncash payment from the Partnership as well as$7.0 millionwithheld by the Partnership to pre-fund our obligation to the Partnership for the anticipated cost of the environmental remediation project at Haverhill.

In conjunction with the Drop-Down, the Partnership issued3.2 millioncommon units to the public for$88.7 million of net proceeds, which was completed on April 30, 2014, and received approximately$263.1 millionof gross proceeds from the issuance of$250.0 millionaggregate principal amount of 7.375 percentsenior notes due 2020 through a private placement on May 9, 2014. In addition, the Partnership received $5.0 million to fund interest from February 1, 2014 to May 9, 2014, the period prior to the issuance. This interest was paid to noteholders on August 1, 2014. See Note 7.

5. Income Taxes

On the Separation Date, SunCoke Energy and Sunoco entered into a tax sharing agreement that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. In general, under the tax sharing agreement:

• With respect to any periods ending at or prior to the Distribution, SunCoke Energy is responsible for any U.S. federal income taxes and any U.S. state or local income taxes reportable on a consolidated, combined or unitary return, in each case, as would be applicable to SunCoke Energy as if it filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. With respect to any periods beginning after the Distribution, SunCoke Energy is responsible for any U.S. federal, state or local income taxes of it or any of its subsidiaries.

• Sunoco is responsible for any income taxes reportable on returns that include only Sunoco and its subsidiaries (excluding SunCoke Energy and its subsidiaries), and SunCoke Energy is responsible for any income taxes filed on returns that include only it and its subsidiaries.

• Sunoco is responsible for any non-income taxes reportable on returns that include only Sunoco and its subsidiaries (excluding SunCoke Energy and its subsidiaries), and SunCoke Energy is responsible for any non-income taxes filed on returns that include only it and its subsidiaries.

SunCoke Energy is generally not entitled to receive payment from Sunoco in respect of any of SunCoke Energy’s tax attributes or tax benefits or any reduction of taxes of Sunoco. Moreover, Sunoco is generally entitled to refunds of income taxes with respect to periods ending at or prior to the Distribution. If SunCoke Energy realizes any refund, credit or other reduction in otherwise required tax payments in any period beginning after the Distribution Date as a result of an audit adjustment resulting in taxes for which Sunoco would otherwise be responsible, then, subject to certain exceptions, SunCoke Energy must pay Sunoco the amount of any such taxes for which Sunoco would otherwise be responsible. Further, if any taxes result to Sunoco as a result of a reduction in SunCoke Energy’s tax attributes for a period ending at or prior to the Distribution Date pursuant to an audit adjustment (relative to the amount of such tax attribute reflected on Sunoco’s tax return as originally filed), then, subject to certain exceptions, SunCoke Energy is generally responsible to pay Sunoco the amount of any such taxes.

As of December 31, 2013, SunCoke Energy estimated that all tax benefits were settled under the provisions of the tax sharing agreement. SunCoke Energy will continue to monitor the full utilization of all tax attributes when the respective tax returns are filed and will, consistent with the terms of the tax sharing agreement, record additional adjustments through earnings when necessary.

SunCoke Energy also agreed to certain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the contribution and the Distribution. These covenants included restrictions on SunCoke Energy’s issuance or sale of stock or other securities (including securities convertible into our stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements), and sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business and entering into any other corporate transaction which would cause SunCoke Energy to undergo a 50 percent or greater change in its stock ownership. These key restrictions expired on January 18, 2014.

SunCoke Energy has generally agreed to indemnify Sunoco and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the contribution or the Distribution to the extent caused by an acquisition of SunCoke Energy’s stock or assets, or other of its actions. This indemnification applies even if Sunoco has permitted SunCoke Energy to take an action that would otherwise have been prohibited under the tax-related covenants as described above.

SunCoke Energy’s tax provision was computed on a theoretical separate-return basis through the Distribution Date. To the extent any tax assets or liabilities computed on that basis differ from amounts actually payable or realizable under the provisions of the tax sharing agreement, adjustments to the tax assets and liabilities will be reflected as an income tax expense or benefit with a corresponding payable due to Sunoco, if necessary, when such amounts have been effectively settled under the

10

terms of the tax sharing agreement. SunCoke Energy will continue to monitor the utilization of all tax attributes subject to the tax sharing agreement as applicable tax returns are filed or as tax examinations progress and will record additional adjustments when necessary, consistent with the terms of the tax sharing agreement.

At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the rate as necessary.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 17.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to income tax benefits related to tax credits and by the impact of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in partnership. The nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes an income tax benefit of $2.0 million related to the enacted reduction in Indiana statutory tax rate.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 7.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 18.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the impact of earnings that are attributable to noncontrolling ownership interests in partnerships and nonconventional fuel credits. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also includes income tax expense of $0.4 million related to prior period adjustments associated with local income taxes due for the Company's Middletown operations, $0.9 million favorable provision-to-return adjustments as a result of filing our 2012 federal income taxes return, and $1.1 million of additional valuation allowances associated with state and local taxes.

The Company has not recorded income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our India joint venture because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. These additional foreign earnings could be subject to additional tax if remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend. At September 30, 2014, our VISA SunCoke joint venture had a cumulative loss on unconsolidated earnings.

6. Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(Dollars in millions)
Accrued sales discounts (1)	$	—	$	13.6
Accrued benefits	15.3		21.5

Total accrued liabilities	$	42.9	$	59.5

(1) At December 31, 2013, we had $13.6 million accrued related to sales discounts payable to our customer at our Granite City facility. During the first quarter of 2014, we settled this obligation for $13.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $0.5 million. This gain was recorded in sales and other operating revenue on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

7. Debt

Total debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(Dollars in millions)
Term loans, bearing interest at variable rates, due 2018, net of original issue discount of $1.0 million at December 31, 2013 ("Term Loan")	$	—	$	99.1

Less: short-term debt, including current portion of long-term debt	—		41.0
Total long-term debt	$	652.0	$	648.1

Under the Company's credit agreement dated July 26, 2011, as amended ("Credit Agreement"), the Company has a$150.0 millionrevolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"). AtSeptember 30, 2014, the Revolving Facility had letters of credit outstanding of $1.5 million, leaving$148.5 millionavailable.

On May 9, 2014, in connection with the Drop-Down, the Partnership issued$250.0 millionPartnership Notes. The Partnership Notes bear interest at a rate of7.375 percentper annum and will mature on February 1, 2020. Interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. Proceeds of$263.1 millionincluded an original issue premium of$13.1 million. In addition, the Partnership received$5.0 million to fund interest from February 1, 2014 to May 9, 2014, the period prior to the issuance. This interest was paid to noteholders on August 1, 2014. The Partnership incurred debt issuance costs of $4.9 million, of which$0.9 million was considered a modification of debt and was immediately expensed and recorded in interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and was included in other operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Furthermore, in connection with the Drop-Down, the Partnership assumed from SunCoke and repaid$99.9 millionof Term Loan and$160.0 millionof Notes. The Partnership also paid a market premium of $11.4 millionto complete the tender of the Notes, which was included in interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Debt extinguishment costs, including unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount, of $3.1 millionwere immediately expensed and recorded in interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Also, in connection with the Drop-Down, the Partnership repaid$40.0 millionon the Partnership Revolver and amended the Partnership Revolver to include (i) an increase in the total aggregate commitments from lenders from$150.0 millionto$250.0 millionand (ii) an extension of the maturity date from January 2018 to May 2019. The Partnership paid $1.8 millionin fees related to the Partnership Revolver amendment, which are included in deferred charges and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2014,the Partnership Revolver had letters of credit outstanding of $0.7 million, leaving$249.3 million available.

The Company and the Partnership are subject to certain debt covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's and Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of the Company's and the Partnership’s subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, (iv) make loans and investments, (v) sell assets, (vi) incur liens, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates and (viii) consolidate or merge. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications set forth in the respective agreements. Additionally, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Credit Agreement, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Partnership Revolver, the Partnership is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Partnership Revolver, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Partnership Revolver. At September 30, 2014, the Company and the Partnership were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Partnership Revolver. We do not anticipate any violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

8. Retirement Benefits Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“defined benefit plan”), which provides retirement benefits for certain of its employees. The Company also has plans which provide health care and life insurance benefits for many of its retirees (“postretirement benefit plans”). The postretirement benefit plans are unfunded and the costs are borne by the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, pension benefits under the Company’s defined benefit plan were frozen for all participants in this plan. The Company also amended its postretirement benefit plans during the first quarter of 2010. Postretirement medical benefits for future retirees were phased out or eliminated, effective January 1, 2011, for non-mining employees with less than ten years of service and employer costs for all those still eligible for such benefits were capped.

Effective May 30, 2014, Dominion Coal Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, terminated its defined benefit plan, a plan that was previously offered to generally all full-time employees of Dominion Coal Corporation. Distribution of plan assets resulting from the defined benefit plan termination will not be made until the Internal Revenue Service and Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation determines that the termination satisfies the regulatory requirements, which is expected to occur in 2015, at which time settlement accounting will also occur. As a result of the termination of the defined benefit plan, each participant will become fully vested in his or her benefits under the defined benefit plan without regard to age and years of service. Participants with $25 thousand or less of benefits owed will have the option of receiving a lump sum

11

payout or an annuity in full payment of their benefits under the defined benefit plan. All other participants will receive an annuity in full payment of their benefits under the defined benefit plan.

Defined benefit plan expense consisted of the following components:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
	(Dollars in millions)

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

SunCoke is party to an omnibus agreement pursuant to which we will provide remarketing efforts to the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain potential adverse events under our coke sales agreements, indemnification of certain environmental costs and preferential rights for growth opportunities.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) has issued Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) for our Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities which stem from alleged violations of our air emission operating permits for these facilities. We are working in a cooperative manner with the EPA, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to address the allegations, and have lodged a Consent Decree in federal district court that is undergoing review. Settlement may require payment of a civil penalty for alleged past violations, and we estimate our probable loss to be approximately $2.2 million. Further, the settlement consists of capital projects to improve reliability of the energy recovery systems and enhance environmental performance at the Haverhill and Granite City facilities. We anticipate spending approximately$125 million related to these projects, and have spent approximately$73 million since 2012. We plan to spend approximately $5 millionin the remainder of 2014 and approximately$47 million in the 2015 to 2016 time frame.

The Company has received NOVs from the EPA related to our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. The Company is working in a cooperative manner to address the allegations with the EPA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management ("IDEM") and Cokenergy, Inc., an independent power producer that owns and operates an energy facility, including heat recovery equipment, a flue gas desulfurization system and a power generation plant that processes hot flue gas from our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility to produce steam and electricity and to reduce the sulfur and particulate content of such flue gas. Settlement may require payment of a penalty for alleged past violations as well as undertaking capital projects to enhance environmental performance. In addition, we conducted an engineering study to identify major maintenance projects necessary to preserve the production capacity of the facility. In accordance with the findings of the study, we originally estimated that we would spend $50 million. As a result of higher than anticipated costs to refurbish ovens as well as the incremental cost of managing the refurbishment to minimize disruptions to ongoing operations, we expect total spend to be $105 million. In addition to the approximately $25 million we expect to spend throughout 2014, we spent $66 million and $14 million related to this project in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In September 2013, we reached agreement with our customer for a 10-year extension of our long-term contract at our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. Key provisions of the extension agreement, which took effect October 1, 2013, are

12

substantially similar to the existing agreement, including continuing the pass through of coal costs, reimbursement of operating and maintenance expenses subject to certain metrics and a pricing adjustment per ton of coke produced to recognize the new capital being deployed to refurbish and upgrade this facility. We expect to earn a reasonable return on our investment, along with DTE Energy Company, the third party investor owning a 15 percent interest in the partnership (the “Indiana Harbor Partnership”). In addition, we believe that the scope of the project will address items that may be required in connection with the settlement of the NOVs at our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. At this time, the Company cannot yet assess any future injunctive relief or potential monetary penalty and any potential future citations. The Company is unable to estimate a range of probable or reasonably possible loss.

The Company is in discussions with ArcelorMittal to resolve claims by ArcelorMittal that certain shipments of coke did not meet coke quality targets. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an estimated liability of$2.5 millionfor the possible reimbursement of certain freight and handling costs incurred by ArcelorMittal and for the Company’s potential legal fees and costs in connection with this matter.

Other legal and administrative proceedings are pending or may be brought against the Company arising out of its current and past operations, including matters related to commercial and tax disputes, product liability, antitrust, employment claims, premises-liability claims, allegations of exposures of third parties to toxic substances and general environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some portion of these claims could be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management of the Company believes that any liability which may arise from such matters would not be material in relation to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company at September 30, 2014.

10. Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2014, we initiated a plan to reduce the workforce in our corporate office. The workforce reduction costs related to this plan were primarily part of an existing benefit arrangement; therefore, the full amount of expected severance benefits was accrued during the first quarter of 2014. We incurred total charges of$1.4 million in Corporate and Other related to this initiative and do not expect to incur any additional charges. Payments of $0.7 million were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

11. Share-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we granted share-based compensation to eligible participants under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Long-Term Performance Enhancement Plan (“SunCoke LTPEP”).

Stock Options

We granted stock options to purchase 407,075 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The stock options become exercisable in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant. The stock options expire 10 years from the date of grant. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP.

The Company calculates the value of each employee stock option, estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of employee stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $7.86 using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2014
Risk free interest rate	1.57		%
Expected term	5 years
Volatility	38		%
Dividend yield	—		%
Weighted-average exercise price	$	22.30

We based our expected volatility on our historical volatility over our entire available trading history. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant for periods which approximate the expected life of the option. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s future expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of employee options represents the average contractual term adjusted by the average vesting period of each

13

option tranche. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.1 million and $3.8 million for stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $5.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issued 210,673 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that vest in three annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP. The weighted-average fair value of the RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $22.29 was based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.0 million and $2.9 million for RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $8.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.3 years.

Performance Share Units

The Company issued 84,734 performance share units ("PSU") for shares of the Company's common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that vest on December 31, 2016. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP. The weighted average fair value of the PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is $26.09 and is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant as well as a Monte Carlo simulation for the portion of the award subject to a market condition. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The number of PSUs ultimately awarded will be adjusted based upon the following metrics: (1) 50 percent of the award will be determined by the Company's three year total shareholder return ("TSR") as compared to the TSR of the companies making up the S&P 600; and (2) 50 percent of the award will be determined by the Company's three year average pre-tax return on capital for the Company's coke business. Each portion of the award may be adjusted between zero and 200 percent of the original units granted.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for PSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $3.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PSUs. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.4 years.

12. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations available to SunCoke Energy, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share has been computed to give effect to share-based compensation awards using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares used to compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to those used to compute diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
	(Shares in millions)
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding-basic	69.4	69.8	69.5	69.9
Add: Effect of dilutive share-based compensation awards	1.0	0.2	0.9	0.3
Weighted-average number of shares-diluted	70.4	70.0	70.4	70.2

14

The potential dilutive effect of 0.4 million stock options was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the shares would have been anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of 1.9 million and 2.4 million stock options was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as the shares would have been anti-dilutive.

On July 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time and from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, or otherwise for a total aggregate cost to the Company not to exceed $150.0 million. This new and larger program supersedes and replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program implemented in February 2012, under which nearly 1.8 million shares were repurchased.

As part of the new $150.0 million program, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of Company common stock directly from an investment bank, or broker, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase arrangement, or similar contract. In accordance with this authorization, the Company entered into a variable term forward share repurchase agreement for an aggregate cost to the Company of $75.0 millionon July 29, 2014. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions delivered shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the purchase period, which was subsequent to the end of the quarter. The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, were determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. In October 2014, 3.2 million shares were delivered to the Company at an average price of $23.28per share, completing the $75.0 million forward share repurchase agreement, and leaving $75.0 millionavailable under the repurchase program.

14. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

• Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Foreign Currency Hedge

The Company occasionally utilizes foreign exchange derivatives to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and accounts for them under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging, which requires all derivatives to be marked to market (fair value). The Company does not purchase or hold any derivatives for trading purposes. On November 26, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to purchase 1.845 billion Indian rupees at a weighted average rate of 56.075 with a settlement date of January 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2013, the settlement date for these agreements was extended to March 14, 2013. Additionally, on February 21, 2013, the Company entered into agreements to purchase an additional 1.830 billion Indian rupees at a weighted average rate of 54.810 with a settlement date of March 14, 2013, at which point our India joint venture investment was fully hedged. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these foreign exchange contracts and, therefore, the changes in the fair value of the derivative were recorded in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The contracts were cash settled on March 14, 2013 and the net mark to market impact of the foreign exchange contract was a gain of approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was recorded in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with changing interest rates and accounts for them under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging, which requires all derivatives to be marked to market (fair value). The Company does not purchase or hold any derivatives for trading purposes. On August 15, 2011, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $125.0 million. The agreements had an expiration date three years from the forward effective date of October 11, 2011. During the first quarter of 2013, we settled one of the interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $25.0 million. The remaining interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $100.0 million were settled in the second quarter of 2014. The impact of these settlements on the financial statements was not material. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3175 percent in exchange for receiving floating rate payments based on the greater of 1.0 percent or three-month LIBOR. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these interest rate swaps and, therefore, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements were recorded in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at September 30, 2014.

The fair value of the swap agreements at September 30, 2013 was a liability of approximately $0.4 million. The mark to market impact of the swap arrangements did not have a material impact on interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and was a reduction in interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. In estimating the fair market value of interest rate swaps, the Company utilized a present value technique which discounts future cash flows against the underlying floating rate benchmark. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty. These inputs are not observable in the market and are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

16

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

During the second quarter of 2014, we reduced our contingent consideration liability to zero related to the 2011 acquisition of Harold Keene Coal Co., Inc. and affiliated companies and recorded income of $4.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was reflected in the loss from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value adjustment to HKCC contingent consideration decreased our loss from discontinued operations by $0.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). At September 30, 2014, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for these non-financial assets or liabilities other than those discussed previously in Note 2.

Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At September 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated to be $667.7 million, compared to a carrying amount of $652.0 million, which was net of original issue premium and mandatory pre-payments made since issuance. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions and are considered Level 3 inputs.

15. Equity Distribution Agreement

On August 5, 2014, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership may sell from time to time through Wells Fargo, the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. Sales of the common units, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed by the Partnership and Wells Fargo, by means of any other existing trading market for the common units or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The common units will be issued pursuant to the Partnership’s existing effective shelf registration statement.

Under the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership also may sell common units to Wells Fargo as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of common units to Wells Fargo as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Partnership and Wells Fargo.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Partnership sold 62,956 common units under the Equity Agreement with an aggregate offering price of $1.8 million, leaving $73.2 million available under the Equity Agreement.

16. Business Segment Information

The Company is an independent owner and operator of five cokemaking facilities in the eastern and midwestern regions of the U.S. The Company is also the operator of a cokemaking facility for a project company in Brazil in which it has a preferred stock investment and is a 49 percent joint venture partner in a cokemaking operation in India. In addition to its cokemaking operations, the Company has metallurgical coal mining operations in the eastern U.S. as well as coal handling and blending operations in the eastern and midwestern regions of the U.S. These coal mining operations are included in discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 2.

The Domestic Coke segment includes the Jewell, Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown cokemaking facilities. Each of these facilities produces coke and all facilities except Jewell recover waste heat which is converted to steam or electricity through a similar production process. Coke sales at each of the Company's five domestic cokemaking facilities are made pursuant to long-term take-or-pay agreements with ArcelorMittal, AK Steel, and U.S. Steel. Each of the coke sales agreements contains pass-through provisions for costs incurred in the cokemaking process, including coal procurement costs (subject to meeting contractual coal-to-coke yields), operating and maintenance expense, costs related to the transportation of coke to the customers, taxes (other than income taxes) and costs associated with changes in regulation, in addition to containing a fixed fee.

On March 18, 2013, we completed the transaction to form a cokemaking joint venture called VISA SunCoke with VISA Steel. VISA SunCoke is comprised of a 440 thousand ton heat recovery cokemaking facility and the facility's associated steam generation units in Odisha, India. We own a 49 percent interest in VISA SunCoke and account for this investment under the equity method. We recognize our share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013. The results of our joint venture are presented below in the India Coke segment.

17

The Brazil Coke segment operates a cokemaking facility located in Vitória, Brazil for a project company. The Brazil Coke segment earns income from the Brazilian facility through (1) licensing and operating fees payable to us under long-term contracts with the local project company that will run through at least 2022; and (2) an annual preferred dividend on our preferred stock investment from the project company guaranteed by the Brazil subsidiary of ArcelorMittal.

Coal Logistics operations are comprised of Lake Terminal and KRT facilities located in Indiana and Kentucky, respectively. The Partnership acquired Lake Terminal on August 30, 2013 and KRT on October 1, 2013 and began providing coal handling and blending services. This business has a collective capacity to blend and transload more than 30 million tons of coal annually. Coal handling and blending services are provided to third party customers as well as certain SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Coal handling and blending results are presented in the Coal Logistics segment below.

Corporate expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other, including certain legacy coal mining assets (i.e. coal preparation plant and net pension assets) and liabilities (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations) that are expected to be retained by the Company. The related legacy costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations but included in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Interest expense, net, which consists principally of interest income, interest expense and interest capitalized, is also excluded from segment results. Segment assets, net of tax are those assets that are utilized within a specific segment and excludes deferred tax assets and current tax receivables.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for asset and goodwill impairment, costs related to exiting our Coal business, sales discounts and the interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our equity method investment. 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 equity method investment. 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 from continuing operations equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations less Legacy costs.

Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operationsequals coal business Adjusted EBITDA excluding corporate cost allocation attributable to coal, costs related to exiting our coal business and certain retained coal-related costs reclassified as Legacy costs.

Legacy costs equals royalty revenues, coal pension/other post-employment benefits, coal workers' compensation, black lung, prep. plant and certain other coal-related costs that we expect to retain after sale of the coal business.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company's net assets 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, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

Set forth below is additional detail as to how we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance, as well as a discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

Operating Performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this measure is helpful to management in identifying trends in our performance. Adjusted EBITDA helps management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize our financial performance while neutralizing the impact of capital structure on financial results. Accordingly, we believe this metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely our cost structure and expenses.

Limitations. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA:

• does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• does not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, working capital needs;

• does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on or principal payments of our debt;

• does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses;

• excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash; and includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

17. Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Certain 100 percent owned subsidiaries of the Company serve as guarantors of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and $240 million Notes (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). These guarantees are full and unconditional (subject, in the case of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, to customary release provisions as described below) and joint and several. For purposes of the following footnote, SunCoke Energy, Inc. is referred to as “Issuer.” The indenture dated July 26, 2011 among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., governs subsidiaries designated as “Guarantor Subsidiaries.” All other consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are collectively referred to as “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.”

The ability of the Partnership and Indiana Harbor to pay dividends and make loans to the Company is restricted under the partnership agreements of the Partnership and Indiana Harbor, respectively. The credit agreement governing the Partnership’s credit facility and the indenture governing the Partnership Notes contain customary provisions which would potentially restrict the Partnership’s ability to make distributions or loans to the Company under certain circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2013, less than 25 percent of net assets were restricted.

The guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary will terminate upon:

• a sale or other disposition of the Guarantor Subsidiary or of all or substantially all of its assets;

• a sale of the majority of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor Subsidiary to a third party, after which the Guarantor Subsidiary is no longer a "Restricted Subsidiary" in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes;

• the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor Subsidiary so long as no "Default" or "Event of Default," as defined under the indenture governing the Notes, has occurred as a result thereof;

• the designation of a Guarantor Subsidiary as an "unrestricted subsidiary" in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes

• the requirements for defeasance or discharge of the indentures governing the Notes having been satisfied;

22

• the release, other than the discharge through payments by a Guarantor Subsidiary, from its guarantee under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness that resulted in the obligation of the Guarantor Subsidiary under the indenture governing the Notes.

The following supplemental condensed combining and consolidating financial information reflects the Issuer’s separate accounts, the combined accounts of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combining and consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the Issuer’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed combining and consolidating information, the Issuer’s investments in its subsidiaries and the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ investments in its subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements of expected future developments, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our future results and financial condition may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of the factors we describe under “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based on financial data derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and certain other financial data that is prepared using non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP components, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this Item.

The results of our coal mining operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this Management's Discussion and Analysis relates to our continuing operations.

Overview

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (“SunCoke Energy”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is the largest independent producer of high-quality coke in the Americas, as measured by tons of coke produced each year, and has more than 50 years of coke production experience. Coke is a principal raw material in the blast furnace steelmaking process. Coke is generally produced by heating metallurgical coal in a refractory oven, which releases certain volatile components from the coal, thus transforming the coal into coke.

We have designed, developed and built, and own and operate five cokemaking facilities in the United States (“U.S.”). Additionally, we have designed and operate one cokemaking facility in Brazil under licensing and operating agreements on behalf of our customer and have a joint venture interest in the operations of one cokemaking facility in India. The capacity of our five U.S. cokemaking facilities is approximately 4.2 million tons of coke per year. The cokemaking facility that we operate in Brazil has capacity of approximately 1.7 million tons of coke per year. In March 2013, we formed a cokemaking joint venture with VISA Steel Limited ("VISA Steel") in India called VISA SunCoke Limited ("VISA SunCoke"). VISA SunCoke has a cokemaking capacity of 440 thousand tons of coke per year.

All of our U.S. coke sales are made pursuant to long-term take-or-pay agreements. These coke sales agreements have an average remaining term of approximately 10 years and contain pass-through provisions for costs we incur in the cokemaking process, including coal costs, (subject to meeting contractual coal-to-coke yields), operating and maintenance expenses, costs related to the transportation of coke to our customers, taxes (other than income taxes) and costs associated with changes in regulation. The coke sales agreement and energy sales agreement with AK Steel at our Haverhill facility are subject to early termination by AK Steel under limited circumstances and provided that AK Steel has given at least two years prior notice of its intention to terminate the agreements and certain other conditions are met. In addition, AK Steel is required to pay a significant termination payment to us if it exercises its termination right prior to 2018. No other coke sales contract has an early termination clause.

Our consolidated financial statements include SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a publicly-traded master limited partnership. We completed the initial public offering of the Partnership on January 24, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, we owned the general partner of the Partnership, which consists of a 2.0 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and owned a 54.0 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The remaining 44.0 percent interest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders.

(1) Cokemaking capacity represents stated capacity for production of blast furnace coke. The Middletown coke sales agreement provides for coke sales on a “run of oven” basis, which include both blast furnace coke and small coke. Middletown capacity on a “run of oven” basis is 578 thousand tons per year.

(2) Cokemaking capacity represents 100 percent of VISA SunCoke, our 49 percent joint venture formed in March 2013.

We own and operate coal mining operations in Virginia and West Virginia that sold approximately 1.5 million tons of metallurgical coal (including internal sales to our cokemaking operations) and 0.1 million tons of thermal coal in 2013. We are pursuing the exit of our coal mining business and have presented the results of our coal operations as discontinued operations and held for sale in the consolidated financial statements. See additional discussion in the Recent Developments section to follow.

Our business strategy has evolved to include the expansion of our operations into adjacent business lines within the steelmaking value chain. During 2013, we expanded our operations into coal handling and blending services through two acquisitions. On August 30, 2013, the Partnership completed its acquisition of Lakeshore Coal Handling Corporation ("Lake Terminal"). Located in East Chicago, Indiana, Lake Terminal provides coal handling and blending services to SunCoke's Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. On October 1, 2013, the Partnership acquired Kanawha River Terminals ("KRT"). KRT is a leading metallurgical and thermal coal blending and handling terminal service provider with collective capacity to blend and transload 30 million tons of coal annually through its operations in West Virginia and Kentucky. Coal is transported from the mine site in numerous ways, including rail, truck, barge or ship. Our coal terminals act as intermediaries between coal producers and coal end users by providing transloading, storage and blending services. We do not take possession of coal in our Coal Logistics business, but instead derive our revenue by providing coal handling and blending services to our customers on a per ton basis. Our coal blending and handling services are provided to steel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility and coal producing customers.

Further, we are exploring opportunities for entry into the ferrous segments of the steel value chain, such as iron ore concentration and pelletizing and direct reduced iron production ("DRI"). We received a favorable IRS private letter ruling for DRI in the second quarter of 2014. DRI, an alternative method of ironmaking is used today in conventional blast furnaces and electric arc furnaces. The capital investment required to build DRI plants is low compared to integrated steel plants and operating costs can be favorable if low cost energy supplies are available. We believe there is additional demand for DRI capacity in the U.S., driven in part by the available supply of low cost natural gas.

Incorporated in Delaware in 2010 and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, we became a publicly-traded company in 2011 and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SXC.” On July 18, 2011 (the “Separation Date”), Sunoco, Inc. ("Sunoco") contributed the subsidiaries, assets and liabilities that were primarily related to its cokemaking and coal mining operations to us in exchange for shares of our common stock. As of such date, Sunoco owned 100 percent of our common stock. On January 17, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”), we became an independent, publicly-traded company following our separation from Sunoco.

Recent Developments

• Cokemaking Drop-Down to our master limited partnership and related financing transactions.

On May 9, 2014, SunCoke Energy contributed an additional33.0 percentinterest in the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities to the Partnership for total consideration of$365.0 million(the "Drop-Down"). After the Drop-Down, SunCoke Energy continued to own the general partner of the Partnership, which consisted of a2.0 percentownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and decreased its limited partner interest in the Partnership from 55.9 percent to 54.1 percent. The remaining43.9 percentinterest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders and was reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements.

Total consideration received for the Drop-Down included2.7 million common units totaling $80.0 millionand $3.3 millionof general partner interests. In addition, the Partnership assumed and repaid approximately$271.3 millionof our outstanding debt and other liabilities, including a market premium of$11.4 millionto complete the tender of the senior unsecured notes. The remaining$10.4 millionof consideration consisted of a$3.4 millioncash payment from the Partnership as well as$7.0 millionwithheld by the Partnership to pre-fund our obligation to the Partnership for the anticipated cost of the environmental remediation project at Haverhill.

In conjunction with the Drop-Down, the Partnership issued3.2 millioncommon units to the public for$88.7 million of net proceeds, which was completed on April 30, 2014, and received approximately$263.1 millionof gross proceeds from the issuance of$250.0 millionaggregate principal amount of 7.375 percentsenior notes due 2020 through a private placement on May 9, 2014. In addition, the Partnership received $5.0 million to fund interest from February 1, 2014 to May 9, 2014, the period prior to the issuance. This interest was paid to noteholders on August 1, 2014.

The Consolidated Statement of Operations included $17.4 million of costs related to the Drop-Down recorded during the second quarter, including an $11.4 million market premium to complete the tender of the senior unsecured notes, $4.0 million of debt extinguishment costs, $1.7 million of transaction costs and $0.3 million of incremental interest expense related to the notes issuance. An additional $0.6 million of incremental interest expense was recorded during the third quarter of 2014.

• Coal Operations

Second Quarter 2014 Impairment

During the second quarter of 2014, as part of the Company’s strategic evaluation of the coal mining business and realignment of the Company’s businesses and priorities, the Company solicited bids related to the potential sale of its coal mining operations. Due to the level of interest observed in the market, the Company concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the assets would be sold, but at that time the asset group did not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Due to the probable disposition of the assets as well as projected losses resulting from the weakening coal market, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived asset group.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company performed a probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows analysis which indicated that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. As such, the Company reduced the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their estimated fair value and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of$97.1 million.

As a result of the probable sale of the business, the weakening coal market and the long-lived asset impairment discussed above, the Company also performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2014 for the coal mining reporting unit. This analysis concluded the fair value of the reporting unit, based on a discounted cash flows analysis, was less than the carrying amount. As a result, the Company recorded a$6.0 millionpre-tax impairment of the entire goodwill balance.

35

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

On July 17, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s coal mining business. The Company expects that the sale and/or other disposition of the Company’s coal mining business will occur in 2014.

Concurrent with this authorization, the coal mining operations are reflected as discontinued operations and the related net assets are presented as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain legacy coal mining assets (i.e. coal preparation plant and net pension assets) and liabilities (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations) are expected to be retained by the Company and are not part of the disposal group. These legacy assets and liabilities and related legacy costs are reported in Corporate and Other in continuing operations. The Company's coal mining business was previously reported in the Coal Mining reportable segment. The coal mining net assets and results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations and held for sale presentation.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the held for sale net assets to fair value less costs to sell which resulted in a$16.4 millionpre-tax impairment charge and related valuation allowance against the held for sale net assets. The valuation impairment charge of$16.4 millionand related$6.4 milliontax benefit were recorded in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This charge was in addition to the$88.0 millionasset and goodwill impairment and related $44.5 milliontax benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2014 related to coal assets now classified as held for sale. The remaining impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2014 on assets expected to be retained of$15.1 millionremains included in asset impairment with a corresponding tax benefit of$7.6 millionincluded in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were included in income from continuing operations.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur total pre-tax exit and disposal costs during the fourth quarter in the range of$10.0 millionto$15.0 million, of which$10.0 million to $14.0 million are anticipated to result in cash expenditures, including employee separation and retention costs for certain key management employees of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million and contract termination and other exit and disposal costs of approximately $9.0 million to $13.0 million. The Company has recorded $0.6 million of these exit and disposal costs to date in loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to record the remaining costs during the fourth quarter of 2014. The foregoing are estimates only and total actual costs relating to these actions will be recorded when the Company has finalized the sale/disposition plan.

In the event that a sale of the coal business does not occur, the Company will evaluate the various restructuring options to rationalize coal production over the near term and/or potentially cease coal production. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate with respect to the charges related to such potential actions. Any such charges could result in future cash expenditures.

Black Lung

We continue to evaluate the impact of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) based on available trend rates and other current information. We have not concluded our evaluation but believe that the current impact of PPACA, specifically related to the rate at which claims are awarded, coupled with anticipated changes in discount rates, may increase our black lung benefit obligation by approximately $8 million. We anticipate that we will complete our evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2014.

• Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

On July 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time and from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, or otherwise for a total aggregate cost to the Company not to exceed $150.0 million. This new and larger program supersedes and replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program implemented in February 2012, under which nearly 1.8 million shares were repurchased.

As part of the new $150.0 million program, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of Company common stock directly from an investment bank, or broker, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase arrangement, or similar contract. In accordance with this authorization, the Company entered into a variable term forward share repurchase agreement for an aggregate cost to the Company of $75.0 millionon July 29, 2014. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions delivered shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the purchase period, which was subsequent to the end of the quarter. The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated

36

Balance Sheet. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, were determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. In October 2014, 3.2 million shares were delivered to the Company at an average price of $23.28per share, completing the $75.0 million forward share repurchase agreement, and leaving $75.0 millionavailable under the repurchase program. The share repurchase program met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification.

• Dividend

On October 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of$0.0585 per share, which will be paid on November 28, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2014. This is the first cash dividend to be paid to shareholders in the Company's history.

Third Quarter Key Financial Results

• Revenues decreased $5.8 million, or 1.6 percent, in the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $367.6 million primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal prices and lower coke sales volumes in our Domestic Coke segment partially offset by $8.7 million of revenues from our new Coal Logistics segment.

• Net income attributable to shareholders was a loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to income of $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which included loss on discontinued operations, net of tax of $18.5 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $14.9 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, or $0.21 per share and $0.14 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Solid cokemaking operations and the addition of the coal logistics operations drove the improvement from last year, partially offset by higher depreciation primarily related to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain assets at the Indiana Harbor facility.

• Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $68.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $51.1 million in the same period prior year, an increase of $16.9 million. This increase was primarily driven by a $8.1 million increase in Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA from better performance at our Indiana Harbor facility and an increase in Coal Logistics segment Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million due to the timing of acquisitions during 2013.

Items Impacting Comparability

• Coal Impairment. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an asset and goodwill impairment charge related to our coal mining assets of $103.1 million, or $51.0 million net of tax, of which $88.0 million, or $43.5 million net of tax, was included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. The remaining charge of $15.1 million, or $7.5 million net of tax, was related to assets that we expect to retain and was included in income from continuing operations. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a valuation impairment charge on the coal business held for sale of $16.4 million, or $10.0 million net of tax, included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.

• Coal Logistics. On August 30, and October 1, 2013, the Partnership acquired Lake Terminal and KRT, respectively. The results of these newly acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition and are presented in the Coal Logistics segment. Coal Logistics reported revenues of $13.6 million, of which $4.9 million were intercompany revenues, and $41.7 million, of which $13.6 million were intercompany revenues, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million and $10.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA per ton handled of $0.80 and $0.74 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Coal Logistics reported only one month of operations of Lake Terminal resulting in revenues of $1.1 million, of which $1.0 million were intercompany revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million.

• Indiana Harbor Cokemaking Operations. During 2011, in preparation for negotiation of the extension of the Company's existing coke sales agreement, we conducted an engineering study to identify major refurbishment projects necessary to preserve the production capacity of the facility. As a result of higher than anticipated costs to refurbish ovens as well as the incremental cost of managing the refurbishment to minimize disruptions to ongoing operations, we have spent or committed a total of approximately$105 millionon this refurbishment project, $103 million of which has been spent since project inception. We completed this oven refurbishment in

37

the first quarter and expect the installation of new equipment (i.e. pusher-charger machines) will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. We revised the useful lives of certain assets associated with the refurbishment project and our original estimate of additional depreciation was$13.1 million, of which$9.5 million, or$0.14 per common share from continuing operations, and $2.2 million, or $0.03 per common share from continuing operations, was recorded in 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the first quarter of 2014, we determined that additional assets would be retired as part of the project and now estimate that we will record additional depreciation totaling $19.9 million. During three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, we recorded $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share from continuing operations, and$6.1 million, or$0.09per share from continuing operations, of additional depreciation. The total full year impact of additional depreciation is anticipated to be approximately$8.2 million, or$0.12per common share from continuing operations in 2014.

In the first quarter of 2014, as a result of the refurbishment project work, we identified that approximately 30 percent of our ovens required a complete replacement of their oven floors and sole flues. We anticipate spending approximately$16 millionin ongoing capital expenditures in connection with this refurbishment work, which we now anticipate completing in 2015. We revised the estimated useful life of certain assets being replaced as part of this project, which resulted in additional depreciation of$1.0 million, or$0.01per common share from continuing operations, and$6.3 million, or $0.09per common share from continuing operations, for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The full year impact of additional depreciation is anticipated to be approximately$7.4 million, or$0.11per common share from continuing operations.

Effective October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a 10-year extension of its existing Indiana Harbor coke sales agreement, which contains an increased fixed fee per ton of coke produced to recognize the additional capital being deployed, which increased Adjusted EBITDA $3.7 million and $9.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. Our customer had a blast furnace outage in the second quarter of 2014, which resulted in deferred payment terms for a portion of our July shipments, which we expect to receive payment on by the end of the year. We expect to begin realizing the full benefits of the refurbishment project by the end of the year.

• Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $11.9 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $51.1 million and $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The second quarter of 2014 was impacted by debt extinguishment costs of $15.4 million, which included an $11.4 million market premium to tender the senior notes. The first quarter of 2013 was impacted by debt restructuring costs of $3.7 million related to the portion of the term loan extinguished in conjunction with the Partnership offering as well as the issuance of $150.0 million of senior notes by the Partnership.

In addition, interest expense, net during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of interest capitalized in connection with the environmental remediation project at Haverhill. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, capitalized interest amounted to $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

• India Equity Method Investment. On March 18, 2013, we acquired a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, VISA SunCoke, located in Odisha, India, with VISA Steel. We recognize our share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013. We recorded a loss from equity method investment of $3.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to a loss of and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Our 49 percent share of Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.7 million and $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

• Noncontrolling Interest. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $10.0 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $14.6 million and $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase during the three months ended is the result of the Partnership's increased ownership interest in Haverhill and Middletown from 65 to 98 percent during the second quarter of 2014 and the respective increase in the Partnership's public unitholders ownership. Year to date the result of this increased interest was more than offset by financing costs and debt extinguishment costs recorded at the Partnership related to the Drop-Down transaction.

Total revenues, net of sales discounts, were $367.6 million and $373.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1,084.5 million and $1,197.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decreases were due primarily to the pass-through of lower coal prices and lower coke sales volumes in our Domestic Coke segment. The nine-month period also includes the impact of severe weather on production and yields across our Domestic Coke fleet as well as the impact of operational inefficiencies caused by the refurbishment project at the Indiana Harbor facility. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $8.7 million and $28.1 million, respectively, of revenue from the new Coal Logistics business compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 which each only included one month of Coal Logistics revenues of $1.0 million due to the timing of acquisitions.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $321.8 million and $341.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1,005.3 million and $1,102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These decreases were the result of lower coal prices as well as transaction costs in 2013 related to the acquisition of the Coal Logistics business. These decreases were partially offset by additional depreciation at our Indiana Harbor facility. During the nine months ended these decreases were further offset by an asset impairment charge of $15.1 million on our legacy assets related to our discontinued coal mining business included in Corporate and Other.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net was $11.9 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $51.1 million and $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Comparability between periods was impacted by the financing activities previously discussed.

Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $7.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to income tax expense of $1.5 million for the corresponding period of 2013. The increase was due primarily to higher overall earnings, as well as lower nonconventional fuel tax credits for the three months ended September 30, 2014, which expired in 2013. We recorded an income tax expense of $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to income tax expense of $10.0 million for the corresponding period of 2013. The decrease was due primarily to lower overall earnings nine months ended September 30, 2014, as well as the enacted reduction in Indiana statutory tax rate.

Loss from Equity Method Investment. We recognize our share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013. In the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized a loss from equity method investment of $1.5 million and $2.3 million and $3.0 million and $2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Performance in the period was affected by a weak coke pricing environment due to the impact of Chinese coke imports. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 also include foreign exchange losses on coal purchases of $2.4 million.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax were $18.5 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $66.1 million and $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These increases in losses were primarily driven by an asset and goodwill impairment recorded during the second quarter of 2014 of $43.5 million, net of a $44.5 million tax benefit, as well as an additional asset valuation impairment recorded during the third quarter of 2014 of $10.0 million, net of a $6.4 million tax benefit.

Further increasing loss on discontinued operations, net of tax was the decline in the average coal sales price of $18 per ton in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Partially offsetting these losses were decreases in cash production costs of $5 per ton and $8 per ton for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, we ceased depreciation on our assets upon held for sale classification in the third quarter of 2014. Depreciation expense recorded in our discontinued operations was $0.3 million and $4.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $9.6 million and $13.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $10.0 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $14.6 million and $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Comparability between periods is impacted by the Drop-Down activities previously discussed.

Analysis of Segment Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Domestic Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased $14.9 million, or 4.1 percent, to $349.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $364.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the pass-through of lower coal prices, which contributed $22.9 million to the decrease. Slightly lower volumes of 10 thousand tons decreased revenues by $1.7 million. These decreases were partly offset by $3.7 million of additional revenues attributable to the increased fixed fee component included in the extension of the Indiana Harbor coke sales agreement effective October 1, 2013. Higher reimbursable operating and maintenance costs also increased revenues by $4.4 million. The remaining increase of $1.6 million was primarily related to sales discounts given in the prior year which expired in 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA increased $8.1 million, or 12.6 percent, to $72.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $64.3 million in the same period of 2013. This increased Adjusted EBITDA is the result of $3.7 million of additional revenues attributable to the increased fixed fee component included in the extension of the Indiana Harbor coke sales agreement effective October 1, 2013. Additionally, improved coal-to-coke yields increased Adjusted EBITDA by $1.2 million over the same period of the prior year. The remaining increase of $3.2 million was primarily related to a higher operating and maintenance cost reimbursement rate, slightly offset by the 10 thousand ton decrease in volume, decreasing adjusted EBITDA $0.2 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, increased $2.5 million to $19.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $16.8 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to additional depreciation taken at our Indiana Harbor facility. We revised the estimated useful life of certain assets at Indiana Harbor in connection with both the refurbishment project as well as the additional work on the oven floors and sole flues, which resulted in additional depreciation of $3.0 million, or $0.04 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $1.7 million, or $0.02 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Brazil Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue increased $0.7 million, or 8.5 percent, to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $8.2 million for the same period of 2013. While volumes increased by 210 thousand tons, revenues stayed fairly consistent due to the minimum guarantee fee arrangement that we have with our customer, which impacted prior year revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the Brazil Coke segment increased $1.0 million, or 66.7 percent, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2013 driven by an increase in volume of 210 thousand tons and foreign currency impacts.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was insignificant in both periods.

India Coke

We recognize our 49 percent share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013. Our share of Adjusted EBITDA improved during the three months ended September 30, 2014 by $0.8 million to losses of $1.3 million from losses of $2.1 million during the same period in the prior year. Performance in the period continued to be affected by several factors including a weak coke pricing environment due to increased Chinese coke imports, which are anticipated to continue throughout 2014. The prior year period included $2.4 million of foreign exchange losses.

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue were $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period of 2013. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

42

Adjusted EBITDA

Coal Logistics Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.7 million in the corresponding period of 2013. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to additional depreciation associated with KRT, which was acquired October 1, 2013. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

Corporate and Other

Corporate expenses decreased $3.9 million to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $13.3 million in the same period of 2013. Prior year corporate costs included $2.4 million of acquisition expense associated with the formation of our Coal Logistics segment. The remaining decrease is primarily due to the reduction in workforce at our Corporate headquarters earlier in 2014.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million in the same period of 2013 and includes depreciation expense on certain assets that were previously reported as part of our Coal Mining segment and are expected to be retained after the sale or disposal of our coal operations.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Domestic Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased $140.9 million, or 12.1 percent, to $1,027.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,168.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the pass-through of lower coal prices, which contributed $127.5 million to the decrease. Excluding Indiana Harbor, lower overall volumes of 60 thousand tons, due primarily to severe winter weather during the first quarter of the year, decreased revenues by $20.3 million at our domestic cokemaking operations, excluding Indiana Harbor. Volumes at our Indiana Harbor facility decreased 75 thousand tons, lowering revenues by $28.4 million, due primarily to operational inefficiencies caused by weather and the refurbishment project in the first quarter of 2014. These decreases were partly offset by $9.7 million of additional revenues attributable to the increased fixed fee component included in the extension of the Indiana Harbor coke sales agreement effective October 1, 2013. The decrease was further offset by higher reimbursable operating and maintenance costs and lower sales discounts of $22.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The remaining decrease of $2.7 million was primarily related to lower reimbursable transportation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.2 million, or 1.7 percent, to $183.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $186.7 million in the same period of 2013. Results for the nine month period reflect the adverse impact of severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014 on coke volumes and coal-to-coke yields across the entire cokemaking fleet. Excluding Indiana Harbor, Domestic Coke volumes decreased 60 thousand tons as compared to the prior year period. This decrease in volumes and the impact of lower coal-to-coke yields lowered Adjusted EBITDA by $5.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Volumes at our Indiana Harbor facility decreased 75 thousand tons due primarily to operational inefficiencies caused by weather and the refurbishment project in the first quarter of 2014 lowered Adjusted EBITDA by $6.9 million. This decrease was partially offset by the increased contractual fixed fee at Indiana Harbor and improved coal-to-coke yields, resulting in additional Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The remaining change of $3.4 million was primarily related to lower allocated corporate costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, increased $8.5 million to $60.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $52.4 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to capital expenditures related to the refurbishment as well as additional depreciation taken at our Indiana Harbor facility. We revised the estimated useful life of certain assets at Indiana Harbor in connection with both the refurbishment project as well as the additional work on the oven floors and sole flues, which resulted in additional depreciation of $12.4 million, or $0.18 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $9.0 million, or $0.13 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

43

Brazil Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue increased $1.3 million, or 5.0 percent, to $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $25.9 million for the same period of 2013, driven primarily by an increase in volume of 443 thousand tons.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the Brazil Coke segment increased $2.0 million to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $4.7 million for the same period of 2013 driven by an increase in volume of 443 thousand tons and foreign currency impacts.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was insignificant in both periods.

India Coke

We recognize our 49 percent share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013 and as such, the nine month periods are not comparable. Our share of Adjusted EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was a loss of $1.7 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million during the prior year period. Performance in the period continued to be affected by several factors including a weak coke pricing environment due to increase Chinese coke imports, which are anticipated to continue throughout 2014. The prior year period was also impacted by foreign exchange losses of $2.4 million.

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue increased were $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period of 2013. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Coal Logistics Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.7 million in the corresponding period of 2013. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.2 million in the prior period. Comparison between periods was impacted by timing of acquisitions.

Corporate and Other

Corporate expenses decreased $0.3 million to $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $31.8 million in the same period of 2013. Prior year corporate costs included $2.4 million of acquisition costs associated with the formation of our Coal Logistics segment while the current year period includes costs related to the Drop-Down transaction and the reduction in workforce at our corporate headquarters.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, decreased $0.5 million to $4.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $4.6 million in the same period of 2013 and includes depreciation expense on certain assets that were previously reported as part of our Coal Mining segment and are expected to be retained after the sale or disposal of our coal operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings under debt financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2014, we had $114.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $397.8 million of borrowing availability under our credit facilities. We believe these sources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations, including capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and dividend payments.

On October 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of$0.0585 per share, which will be paid on November 28, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2014. This is the first cash dividend to be paid to shareholders in the Company's history.

In conjunction with the closing of the Drop-Down, the Partnership amended the Partnership Revolver to include (i) an increase in the total aggregate commitments from lenders from $150.0 million to $250.0 million and (ii) an extension of the maturity date from January 2018 to May 2019, which is included in the consolidated borrowing capacity above.

The Company and the Partnership are subject to certain debt covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's and Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of the Company's and the Partnership’s subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, (iv) make loans and investments, (v) sell assets, (vi) incur liens, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates and (viii) consolidate or merge. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications set forth in the respective agreements. Additionally, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Credit Agreement, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Partnership Revolver, the Partnership is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Partnership Revolver, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Partnership Revolver. At September 30, 2014, the Company and the Partnership were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Partnership Revolver. We do not anticipate any violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

On July 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time and from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, or otherwise for a total aggregate cost to the Company not to exceed $150.0 million. This new and larger program supersedes and replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program implemented in February 2012, under which nearly 1.8 million shares were repurchased.

As part of the new $150.0 million program, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of Company common stock directly from an investment bank, or broker, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase arrangement, or similar contract. In accordance with this authorization, the Company entered into a variable term forward share repurchase agreement for an aggregate cost to the Company of $75.0 millionon July 29, 2014. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions delivered shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the purchase period, which was subsequent to the end of the quarter. The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, were determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. In October 2014, 3.2 million shares were delivered to the Company at an average price of $23.28per share, completing the $75.0 million forward share repurchase agreement, and leaving $75.0 millionavailable under the repurchase program. The share repurchase program met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification.

On August 5, 2014, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership may sell from time to time through Wells Fargo, the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. Sales of the common units, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed by the Partnership and Wells Fargo, by means of any other existing trading market for the common units or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The common units will be issued pursuant to the Partnership’s existing effective shelf registration statement.

Under the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership also may sell common units to Wells Fargo as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of common units to Wells Fargo as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Partnership and Wells Fargo. The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from any sales pursuant to the Equity Agreement, after deducting Wells Fargo’s commissions and the Partnership’s offering expenses, for general partnership purposes, which may include repaying or refinancing all or a portion of the Partnership’s outstanding indebtedness and funding working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Partnership sold 62,956 common units under the Equity Agreement with an aggregate offering price of $1.8 million, leaving $73.2 million available under the Equity Agreement.

The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
	(Dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	74.1		$	100.8
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(102.5		)	(183.5		)

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations	(20.4		)	(21.6		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(118.8	)	$	29.6

Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $74.1 million compared to $100.8 million in the corresponding period of 2013. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to weaker operational performance due in part to severe weather in the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease in working capital largely due to timing of accounts payable and higher inventory levels.

Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $102.5 million decreased $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of 2013. The prior year period included expenditures of $67.7 million for our investment in the Indian joint venture as well as $28.6 million for our acquisition of Lake Terminal. Capital expenditures were $15.3 million higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher environmental remediation capital expenditures partially offset by higher Indiana Harbor refurbishment capital expenditures in the prior year period. For a more detailed discussion of our capital expenditures see "Capital Requirements and Expenditures" below.

Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $70.0 million compared to $133.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received net proceeds of $90.5 million from the issuance of common units in SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. to common unit holders, $88.7 million of which was received during the second quarter of 2014 from the issuance of 3,220,000 common units in connection with the Drop-Down with the balance related to issuances under our Equity Distribution Agreement. We also received $268.1 million from the issuance of Partnership Notes.

These cash inflows were partially offset by the repayment of $276.5 million of long term debt, including a market premium of $11.4 million to complete the tender certain debt, and debt issuance costs of $5.8 million. We also had a net repayment on the revolving facility of $40 million and paid $85.1 million for the repurchase of common stock, $75.0 million of which was a prepayment for the variable term forward share repurchase agreement for which shares were delivered in October 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership paid quarterly cash distributions of $23.4 million to public unitholders of the Partnership. On October 21, 2014 we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5275 per unit. This distribution will be paid on November 28, 2014 to unitholders of record on November 14, 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received proceeds of $237.8 million from the issuance of 13,500,000 common units in SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. and $150.0 million from the issuance of the Partnership Notes. These increases were partially offset by the repayment of $225.0 million of our Term Loan, debt issuance costs of $6.9 million, the repurchase of shares for $10.9 million and cash distributions to noncontrolling interest of $12.0 million.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash used in our discontinued operations of $20.4 million and $21.6 million was comparable between the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Capital Requirements and Expenditures

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring significant investment to upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. The level of future capital expenditures will depend on various factors,

46

including market conditions and customer requirements, and may differ from current or anticipated levels. Material changes in capital expenditure levels may impact financial results, including but not limited to the amount of depreciation, interest expense and repair and maintenance expense.

Our capital requirements have consisted, and are expected to consist, primarily of:

• ongoing capital expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, the integrity and safety of our coke ovens, steam generators and coal mines and to comply with environmental regulations;

• environmental remediation capital expenditures required to implement design changes to ensure that our existing facilities operate in accordance with existing environmental permits; and

• expansion capital expenditures to acquire and/or construct complementary assets to grow our business and to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase coal production from existing mines and increase coke production from existing facilities, as well as capital expenditures made to enable the renewal of a coke sales agreement and on which we expect to earn a reasonable return.

The following table summarizes ongoing, environmental remediation and expansion capital expenditures:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
	(Dollars in millions)
Ongoing capital	$	36.2	$	21.8
Environmental remediation capital	40.2		14.7
Expansion capital(1):
Indiana Harbor	23.3		50.7
Potential Kentucky Facility	2.8		—
Total capital expenditures from continuing operations	$	102.5	$	87.2
Ongoing capital from discontinued operations	4.7		8.4
Total	$	107.2	$	95.6

(1) Excludes the investment in VISA SunCoke

Our total capital expenditures for 2014 are expected to be $128 million, down from our prior estimate of $138 million, driven primarily by an $8 milliondecrease in coal mining capital expenditures.Our capital expenditures from continuing operations for 2014 are expected to be approximately$120 million, which excludes expenditures related to a potential new Kentucky facility. Included in our capital expenditures for 2014 is approximately $50 millionof ongoing capital expenditures, which includes approximately $14 million to replace oven floors and sole flues on ovens at Indiana Harbor. Ongoing capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and/or to extend their useful lives. Ongoing capital expenditures also include new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capital expenditures do not include normal repairs and maintenance expenses, which are expensed as incurred. We anticipate spending approximately$125 millionin environmental remediation projects to enhance the environmental performance at our Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking operations.During 2012 and 2013, we spent$33 million related to these projects. During 2014, we have spent approximately $40 million and we anticipate spending approximately $5 millionin remainder of the year. The remaining$47 millionis expected to be spent during the 2015 to 2016 timeframe. A portion of the proceeds from the Partnership offering and the Drop-Down are being used to fund $74 millionof certain identified environmental remediation projects. In addition, as a part of our capital expansion, we anticipate spending approximately $25 million in 2014 to complete the refurbishment of the Indiana Harbor.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Please refer to SunCoke Energy, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated February 28, 2014 for a summary of these policies.

47

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. Under this ASU, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09 but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is prospective from the date of adoption and applies only to disposals (or new classifications to held for sale) that have not been reported as discontinued operations in previously issued financial statements. The Company early adopted this ASU during the third quarter of 2014.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP results provided in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have provided a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliation from GAAP to the non-GAAP measurement is presented below.

Our management, as well as certain investors, use this non-GAAP measure to analyze our current and expected future financial performance. This measure is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDArepresents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for asset and goodwill impairment, costs related to exiting our Coal business, sales discounts and the interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our equity method investment. 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 equity method investment. 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 from continuing operations equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations less Legacy costs.

Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operationsequals coal business Adjusted EBITDA excluding corporate cost allocation attributable to coal, costs related to exiting our coal business and certain retained coal-related costs reclassified as Legacy costs.

Legacy costs equals royalty revenues, coal pension/other post-employment benefits, coal workers' compensation, black lung, prep. plant and certain other coal-related costs that we expect to retain after sale of the coal business.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company's net assets 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, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

48

Set forth below is additional detail as to how we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance, as well as a discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

Operating Performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess our combined financial and operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA helps management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize our financial performance while neutralizing the impact of capital structure on financial results. Accordingly, we believe this metric is helpful to management in identifying trends in our performance, as it measures financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely our cost structure and expenses.

Limitations. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA:

• does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

• does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on or principal payments of our debt;

• does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses;

• excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash; and

• includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

We explain Adjusted EBITDA and reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to our net income, which is its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its closest GAAP measure:

(3) At December 31, 2013, we had $13.6 million accrued related to sales discounts to be paid to our customer at our Granite City facility. During the first quarter of 2014, we settled this obligation for $13.1 million which resulted in a gain of $0.5 million. This gain is recorded in sales and other operating revenue on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2012, we had $12.4 million accrued related to sales discounts to be paid to our customer at our Haverhill facility. During the first quarter of 2013, we settled this obligation for $11.8 million which resulted in a gain of $0.6 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company's exposure to market risk since December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that financial information was processed, recorded and reported accurately based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 9 entitled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to our Consolidated Financial Statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Updates to our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 related to our new coal handling business are disclosed below.

Divestitures and other significant transactions may adversely affect our business. In particular, if we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from our current efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of our coal mining business, or are unable to conclude such sale or disposal upon favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

We regularly review strategic opportunities to further our business objectives, and may eliminate assets that do not meet our return-on-investment criteria. We are currently engaged in efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of our coal mining business as part of a strategic review and realignment of our businesses and priorities. If we are unable to complete such sale or other disposal upon favorable terms, or in a timely manner, or if the market conditions assumed in our project economics deteriorate, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

The anticipated benefits of divestitures and other strategic transactions may not be realized, or may be realized more slowly than we expected. Such transactions also could result in a number of financial consequences having a material effect on our results of operations and our financial position, including: reduced cash balances and related interest income; higher fixed expenses; the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities (including indemnification obligations); restructuring charges; loss of customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors or employees; legal, accounting and advisory fees; and one-time write-offs of large amounts.

In connection with our intended exit from the coal mining business, we will incur significant exit and disposal costs relating to employee separation and retention and contract termination, among other things. We are also recording a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $103 million for the write-down of coal mining assets and related goodwill. In addition, our failure to generate significant cost savings from the sale or other disposal of our coal mining business could affect our profitability adversely and weaken our competitive position. Following our exit from the coal mining business, we will be entirely dependent upon third parties for a supply of metallurgical coal adequate for the manufacture of coke at our cokemaking facilities. Our inability to acquire sufficient metallurgical coal at favorable prices, or the failure of our future suppliers to deliver metallurgical coal in accordance with our required specifications, could have a material and adverse impact on our business or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On July 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time and from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, or otherwise for a total aggregate cost to the Company not to exceed $150.0 million. This new and larger program supersedes and replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program implemented in February 2012, under which nearly 1.8 million shares were repurchased.

As part of the new $150.0 million program, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of Company common stock directly from an investment bank, or broker, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase arrangement, or similar contract. In accordance with this authorization, the Company entered into a variable term forward share repurchase agreement for an aggregate cost to the Company of $75.0 millionon July 29, 2014. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions delivered shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the purchase period, which was subsequent to the end of the quarter. The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, were determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. In October 2014, 3.2 million shares were delivered to the Company at an average price of $23.28per share, completing the $75.0 million forward share repurchase agreement, and leaving $75.0 millionavailable under the repurchase program. The share repurchase program met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification.

1. The target number of PSUs subject to each PSU Award shall be adjusted by the Committee after the end of the three-year performance period that begins on January 1, 20__ and ends on December 31, 20__, based on the level of achievement of the performance goal(s) established with respect to the performance period as set forth in the attached Exhibit A. The date that the Committee determines the level of performance goal achievement applicable to the Award is the “Determination Date”.

2. Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same adjustment, determined by multiplying the amount of Dividend Equivalents as of the Determination Date by the percentage adjustment made to the PSUs.

b. Vesting. Except as set forth in Section 1.5(b), (c) and (d) below, a Participant shall become vested in his PSU Award and related Dividend Equivalents on the Determination Date, if he remains in continuous employment with SunCoke or one of its Affiliates until the Determination Date.

c. Payment. Except as set forth in Section 1.5(b), (c) and (d) below, actual payment for vested PSUs and vested Dividend Equivalents shall be made to the Participant within one month after the Determination Date.

2. Payment of Related Dividend Equivalents. Payment for the vested Dividend Equivalents will be made in cash.

1.5Termination of Employment.

a. Termination of Employment - In General. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with SunCoke and its Affiliates prior to the Determination Date for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination or due to death or permanent disability, the Participant shall forfeit 100% of such Participant’s PSUs, together with the related Dividend Equivalents, and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Common Stock or any payment of any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the forfeited PSUs.

In the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination prior to the Determination Date, the Participant’s outstanding PSUs and Dividend Equivalents shall vest immediately at the higher of (i) the target level or (ii) the actual performance level based on Total Shareholder Return calculated as of the date of the Change in Control and pre-tax ROIC calculated as of the fiscal quarter ending on or immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, and shall be paid in the form described in Section 1.4(c) above within one month following such Qualifying Termination.

The Participant shall vest in a pro rata portion of the adjusted PSUs determined by multiplying the number of PSUs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the full number of months that have elapsed from the beginning of the performance period to the employment termination date and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the performance period. The Participant shall also vest in the adjusted pro rata portion of the related Dividend Equivalents.

Mine Safety Disclosures for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2014

We are committed to maintaining a safe work environment and working to ensure environmental compliance across all of our operations. The health and safety of our employees and limiting the impact to communities in which we operate are critical to our long-term success. We believe that we employ industry best practices and conduct routine training programs equal to or greater than current regulatory requirements. We also focus additional effort and resources each day and each shift to help ensure that our employees are focused on safety. Furthermore, we employ a structured safety and environmental process that provides a robust framework for managing, monitoring and improving safety and environmental performance.

We have consistently operated our metallurgical coke operations within or near the top quartile for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s recordable injury rates as measured and reported by the American Coke and Coal Chemicals Institute. We also have worked to maintain low injury rates reportable to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) and won the Sentinels of Safety award for 2008 from MSHA for having the mine with the most employee hours worked without experiencing a lost-time injury in that mine’s category.

The following table presents the information concerning mine safety violations and other regulatory matters that we are required to report in accordance with Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Whenever MSHA believes that a violation of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”), any health or safety standard, or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the violation and fixes a time within which the operator must abate the violation. In these situations, MSHA typically proposes a civil penalty, or fine, that the operator is ordered to pay. In evaluating the following table regarding mine safety, investors should take into account factors such as: (1) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of a coal mine, (2) the number of citations issued will vary from inspector to inspector, mine to mine and MSHA district to district and (3) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and during that process are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The mine data retrieval system maintained by MSHA may show information that is different than what is provided in the table below. Any such difference may be attributed to the need to update that information on MSHA’s system or other factors. Orders and citations issued to independent contractors who work at our mine sites are not reported in the table below. All section references in the table below refer to provisions of the Mine Act.

Equity Distribution Agreement

15. Equity Distribution Agreement

On August 5, 2014, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership may sell from time to time through Wells Fargo, the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. Sales of the common units, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed by the Partnership and Wells Fargo, by means of any other existing trading market for the common units or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The common units will be issued pursuant to the Partnership’s existing effective shelf registration statement.

Under the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Partnership also may sell common units to Wells Fargo as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of common units to Wells Fargo as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Partnership and Wells Fargo.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Partnership sold 62,956 common units under the Equity Agreement with an aggregate offering price of $1.8 million, leaving $73.2 million available under the Equity Agreement.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. Under this ASU, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09 but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is prospective from the date of adoption and applies only to disposals (or new classifications to held for sale) that have not been reported as discontinued operations in previously issued financial statements. The Company early adopted this ASU during the third quarter of 2014. See Note 2.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

12. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations available to SunCoke Energy, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share has been computed to give effect to share-based compensation awards using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares used to compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to those used to compute diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
	(Shares in millions)
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding-basic	69.4	69.8	69.5	69.9
Add: Effect of dilutive share-based compensation awards	1.0	0.2	0.9	0.3
Weighted-average number of shares-diluted	70.4	70.0	70.4	70.2

The potential dilutive effect of 0.4 million stock options was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the shares would have been anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of 1.9 million and 2.4 million stock options was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as the shares would have been anti-dilutive.

On July 23, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, at any time and from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, or otherwise for a total aggregate cost to the Company not to exceed $150.0 million. This new and larger program supersedes and replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program implemented in February 2012, under which nearly 1.8 million shares were repurchased.

As part of the new $150.0 million program, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase shares of Company common stock directly from an investment bank, or broker, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase arrangement, or similar contract. In accordance with this authorization, the Company entered into a variable term forward share repurchase agreement for an aggregate cost to the Company of $75.0 millionon July 29, 2014. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions delivered shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the purchase period, which was subsequent to the end of the quarter. The up-front payments were accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, were determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. In October 2014, 3.2 million shares were delivered to the Company at an average price of $23.28per share, completing the $75.0 million forward share repurchase agreement, and leaving $75.0 millionavailable under the repurchase program. The share repurchase program met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

14. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

• Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Foreign Currency Hedge

The Company occasionally utilizes foreign exchange derivatives to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and accounts for them under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging, which requires all derivatives to be marked to market (fair value). The Company does not purchase or hold any derivatives for trading purposes. On November 26, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to purchase 1.845 billion Indian rupees at a weighted average rate of 56.075 with a settlement date of January 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2013, the settlement date for these agreements was extended to March 14, 2013. Additionally, on February 21, 2013, the Company entered into agreements to purchase an additional 1.830 billion Indian rupees at a weighted average rate of 54.810 with a settlement date of March 14, 2013, at which point our India joint venture investment was fully hedged. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these foreign exchange contracts and, therefore, the changes in the fair value of the derivative were recorded in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The contracts were cash settled on March 14, 2013 and the net mark to market impact of the foreign exchange contract was a gain of approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was recorded in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with changing interest rates and accounts for them under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging, which requires all derivatives to be marked to market (fair value). The Company does not purchase or hold any derivatives for trading purposes. On August 15, 2011, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $125.0 million. The agreements had an expiration date three years from the forward effective date of October 11, 2011. During the first quarter of 2013, we settled one of the interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $25.0 million. The remaining interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $100.0 million were settled in the second quarter of 2014. The impact of these settlements on the financial statements was not material. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3175 percent in exchange for receiving floating rate payments based on the greater of 1.0 percent or three-month LIBOR. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these interest rate swaps and, therefore, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements were recorded in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at September 30, 2014.

The fair value of the swap agreements at September 30, 2013 was a liability of approximately $0.4 million. The mark to market impact of the swap arrangements did not have a material impact on interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and was a reduction in interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. In estimating the fair market value of interest rate swaps, the Company utilized a present value technique which discounts future cash flows against the underlying floating rate benchmark. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty. These inputs are not observable in the market and are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

During the second quarter of 2014, we reduced our contingent consideration liability to zero related to the 2011 acquisition of Harold Keene Coal Co., Inc. and affiliated companies and recorded income of $4.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was reflected in the loss from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value adjustment to HKCC contingent consideration decreased our loss from discontinued operations by $0.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). At September 30, 2014, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for these non-financial assets or liabilities other than those discussed previously in Note 2.

Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At September 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated to be $667.7 million, compared to a carrying amount of $652.0 million, which was net of original issue premium and mandatory pre-payments made since issuance. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions and are considered Level 3 inputs.

Retirement Benefits Plans

8. Retirement Benefits Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“defined benefit plan”), which provides retirement benefits for certain of its employees. The Company also has plans which provide health care and life insurance benefits for many of its retirees (“postretirement benefit plans”). The postretirement benefit plans are unfunded and the costs are borne by the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, pension benefits under the Company’s defined benefit plan were frozen for all participants in this plan. The Company also amended its postretirement benefit plans during the first quarter of 2010. Postretirement medical benefits for future retirees were phased out or eliminated, effective January 1, 2011, for non-mining employees with less than ten years of service and employer costs for all those still eligible for such benefits were capped.

Effective May 30, 2014, Dominion Coal Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, terminated its defined benefit plan, a plan that was previously offered to generally all full-time employees of Dominion Coal Corporation. Distribution of plan assets resulting from the defined benefit plan termination will not be made until the Internal Revenue Service and Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation determines that the termination satisfies the regulatory requirements, which is expected to occur in 2015, at which time settlement accounting will also occur. As a result of the termination of the defined benefit plan, each participant will become fully vested in his or her benefits under the defined benefit plan without regard to age and years of service. Participants with $25 thousand or less of benefits owed will have the option of receiving a lump sum payout or an annuity in full payment of their benefits under the defined benefit plan. All other participants will receive an annuity in full payment of their benefits under the defined benefit plan.

Defined benefit plan expense consisted of the following components:

Coal Impairment Charges and Discontinued Operations

2. Coal Impairment Charges and Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2014, as part of the Company’s strategic evaluation of the coal mining business and realignment of the Company’s businesses and priorities, the Company solicited bids related to the potential sale of its coal mining operations. Due to the level of interest observed in the market, the Company concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the assets would be sold, but at that time the asset group did not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Due to the probable disposition of the assets as well as projected losses resulting from the weakening coal market, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived asset group.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company performed a probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows analysis which indicated that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. As such, the Company reduced the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their estimated fair value and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of$97.1 million. The fair value was determined based on estimated discounted cash flows from the coal mining assets, which reflected the weakness in the coal market and were considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions included (a) coal sales prices of $97 per ton to $149 per ton; (b) sales volumes of 1.6 milliontons to 1.8 milliontons; and (c) a 14.0 percentdiscount rate representing the estimated weighted average cost of capital. Various third party indicative offers for the assets were considered and were also included in the Company's assessment of the fair value of the asset group. In previous analyses, based upon the business plan and market expectations of coal prices at that time, the carrying value was recoverable and was substantially in excess of the undiscounted cash flows.  Recent changes in market conditions, specifically decreased coal sales price expectations, were included in our asset impairment analysis.

As a result of the probable sale of the business, the weakening coal market and the long-lived asset impairment discussed above, the Company also performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2014 for the coal mining reporting unit. This analysis concluded the fair value of the reporting unit, based on a discounted cash flows analysis, was less than the carrying amount. As a result, the Company recorded a$6.0 millionpre-tax impairment of the entire goodwill balance.

On July 17, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s coal mining business. The Company expects that the sale and/or other disposition of the Company’s coal mining business will occur in 2014. In conjunction with the expected sale of the coal mining business, the Company plans to enter into a long-term coal supply agreement with the buyer and may also agree to build and operate a coal preparation plant. 

Concurrent with this authorization, the coal mining operations are reflected as discontinued operations and the related net assets are presented as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain legacy coal mining assets (i.e. coal preparation plant and net pension assets) and liabilities (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations) are expected to be retained by the Company and are not part of the disposal group. These legacy assets and liabilities and related legacy costs are reported in Corporate and Other in continuing operations. The Company's coal mining business was previously reported in the Coal Mining reportable segment. The coal mining net assets and results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations and held for sale presentation.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the held for sale net assets to fair value less costs to sell which resulted in a$16.4 millionpre-tax impairment charge and related valuation allowance against the held for sale net assets. The valuation impairment charge of$16.4 millionand related$6.4 milliontax benefit were recorded in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This charge was in addition to the$88.0 millionasset and goodwill impairment and related $44.5 milliontax benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2014 related to coal assets now classified as held for sale. The remaining impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2014 on assets expected to be retained of$15.1 millionremains included in asset impairment with a corresponding tax benefit of$7.6 millionincluded in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were included in income from continuing operations.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur total pre-tax exit and disposal costs during the fourth quarter in the range of$10 millionto$15 million, of which$10 million to $14 million are anticipated to result in cash expenditures, including employee separation and retention costs for certain key management employees of approximately $1 million to $2 million and contract termination and other exit and disposal costs of approximately $9 million to $13 million. The Company has recorded $0.6 million of these exit and disposal costs to date in loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to record the remaining costs during the fourth quarter of 2014. The foregoing are estimates only and total actual costs relating to these actions will be recorded when the Company has finalized the sale/disposition plan.

In the event that a sale of the coal business does not occur, the Company will evaluate the various restructuring options to rationalize coal production over the near term and/or potentially cease coal production. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate with respect to the charges related to such potential actions. Any such charges could result in future cash expenditures.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

General

1. General

Description of Business

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (“SunCoke Energy”, “Company”, "we", "our" and "us") is an independent owner and operator of five cokemaking facilities in the United States ("U.S.") and operator of a cokemaking facility in Brazil, in which we have a preferred stock investment. In March 2013, we formed a cokemaking joint venture in India called Visa SunCoke Limited (“VISA SunCoke”). In the second half of 2013, we acquired Lakeshore Coal Handling Corporation (“Lake Terminal”) and Kanawha River Terminals (“KRT”), which provide coal handling and blending services. Additionally, we own and operate coal mining operations in Virginia and West Virginia, which are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2. We report our business through four segments: Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke, India Coke and Coal Logistics.

Our consolidated financial statements include SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a publicly-traded partnership. We completed the initial public offering of the Partnership on January 24, 2013. At September 30, 2014, we owned the general partner of the partnership, which consists of a 2.0 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and owned a 54.0 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The remaining 44.0 percent interest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders.

We were formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) in 2010. On July 18, 2011 (the “Separation Date”), Sunoco contributed the subsidiaries, assets and liabilities that were primarily related to its cokemaking and coal mining operations to us in exchange for shares of our common stock. On January 17, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”), we became an independent, publicly-traded company following our separation from Sunoco (the "Distribution").

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the entire year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The results for our coal mining operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. Under this ASU, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09 but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance is prospective from the date of adoption and applies only to disposals (or new classifications to held for sale) that have not been reported as discontinued operations in previously issued financial statements. The Company early adopted this ASU during the third quarter of 2014. See Note 2.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Labor Concentrations

The labor agreement at our Granite City cokemaking facility expired on August 31, 2014. A new labor agreement was ratified and is effective through August 31, 2017.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

SunCoke is party to an omnibus agreement pursuant to which we will provide remarketing efforts to the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain potential adverse events under our coke sales agreements, indemnification of certain environmental costs and preferential rights for growth opportunities.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) has issued Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) for our Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities which stem from alleged violations of our air emission operating permits for these facilities. We are working in a cooperative manner with the EPA, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to address the allegations, and have lodged a Consent Decree in federal district court that is undergoing review. Settlement may require payment of a civil penalty for alleged past violations, and we estimate our probable loss to be approximately $2.2 million. Further, the settlement consists of capital projects to improve reliability of the energy recovery systems and enhance environmental performance at the Haverhill and Granite City facilities. We anticipate spending approximately$125 million related to these projects, and have spent approximately$73 million since 2012. We plan to spend approximately $5 millionin the remainder of 2014 and approximately$47 million in the 2015 to 2016 time frame.

The Company has received NOVs from the EPA related to our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. The Company is working in a cooperative manner to address the allegations with the EPA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management ("IDEM") and Cokenergy, Inc., an independent power producer that owns and operates an energy facility, including heat recovery equipment, a flue gas desulfurization system and a power generation plant that processes hot flue gas from our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility to produce steam and electricity and to reduce the sulfur and particulate content of such flue gas. Settlement may require payment of a penalty for alleged past violations as well as undertaking capital projects to enhance environmental performance. In addition, we conducted an engineering study to identify major maintenance projects necessary to preserve the production capacity of the facility. In accordance with the findings of the study, we originally estimated that we would spend $50 million. As a result of higher than anticipated costs to refurbish ovens as well as the incremental cost of managing the refurbishment to minimize disruptions to ongoing operations, we expect total spend to be $105 million. In addition to the approximately $25 million we expect to spend throughout 2014, we spent $66 million and $14 million related to this project in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In September 2013, we reached agreement with our customer for a 10-year extension of our long-term contract at our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. Key provisions of the extension agreement, which took effect October 1, 2013, are substantially similar to the existing agreement, including continuing the pass through of coal costs, reimbursement of operating and maintenance expenses subject to certain metrics and a pricing adjustment per ton of coke produced to recognize the new capital being deployed to refurbish and upgrade this facility. We expect to earn a reasonable return on our investment, along with DTE Energy Company, the third party investor owning a 15 percent interest in the partnership (the “Indiana Harbor Partnership”). In addition, we believe that the scope of the project will address items that may be required in connection with the settlement of the NOVs at our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. At this time, the Company cannot yet assess any future injunctive relief or potential monetary penalty and any potential future citations. The Company is unable to estimate a range of probable or reasonably possible loss.

The Company is in discussions with ArcelorMittal to resolve claims by ArcelorMittal that certain shipments of coke did not meet coke quality targets. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an estimated liability of$2.5 millionfor the possible reimbursement of certain freight and handling costs incurred by ArcelorMittal and for the Company’s potential legal fees and costs in connection with this matter.

Other legal and administrative proceedings are pending or may be brought against the Company arising out of its current and past operations, including matters related to commercial and tax disputes, product liability, antitrust, employment claims, premises-liability claims, allegations of exposures of third parties to toxic substances and general environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some portion of these claims could be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management of the Company believes that any liability which may arise from such matters would not be material in relation to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company at September 30, 2014.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

5. Income Taxes

On the Separation Date, SunCoke Energy and Sunoco entered into a tax sharing agreement that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. In general, under the tax sharing agreement:

• With respect to any periods ending at or prior to the Distribution, SunCoke Energy is responsible for any U.S. federal income taxes and any U.S. state or local income taxes reportable on a consolidated, combined or unitary return, in each case, as would be applicable to SunCoke Energy as if it filed tax returns on a stand-alone basis. With respect to any periods beginning after the Distribution, SunCoke Energy is responsible for any U.S. federal, state or local income taxes of it or any of its subsidiaries.

• Sunoco is responsible for any income taxes reportable on returns that include only Sunoco and its subsidiaries (excluding SunCoke Energy and its subsidiaries), and SunCoke Energy is responsible for any income taxes filed on returns that include only it and its subsidiaries.

• Sunoco is responsible for any non-income taxes reportable on returns that include only Sunoco and its subsidiaries (excluding SunCoke Energy and its subsidiaries), and SunCoke Energy is responsible for any non-income taxes filed on returns that include only it and its subsidiaries.

SunCoke Energy is generally not entitled to receive payment from Sunoco in respect of any of SunCoke Energy’s tax attributes or tax benefits or any reduction of taxes of Sunoco. Moreover, Sunoco is generally entitled to refunds of income taxes with respect to periods ending at or prior to the Distribution. If SunCoke Energy realizes any refund, credit or other reduction in otherwise required tax payments in any period beginning after the Distribution Date as a result of an audit adjustment resulting in taxes for which Sunoco would otherwise be responsible, then, subject to certain exceptions, SunCoke Energy must pay Sunoco the amount of any such taxes for which Sunoco would otherwise be responsible. Further, if any taxes result to Sunoco as a result of a reduction in SunCoke Energy’s tax attributes for a period ending at or prior to the Distribution Date pursuant to an audit adjustment (relative to the amount of such tax attribute reflected on Sunoco’s tax return as originally filed), then, subject to certain exceptions, SunCoke Energy is generally responsible to pay Sunoco the amount of any such taxes.

As of December 31, 2013, SunCoke Energy estimated that all tax benefits were settled under the provisions of the tax sharing agreement. SunCoke Energy will continue to monitor the full utilization of all tax attributes when the respective tax returns are filed and will, consistent with the terms of the tax sharing agreement, record additional adjustments through earnings when necessary.

SunCoke Energy also agreed to certain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the contribution and the Distribution. These covenants included restrictions on SunCoke Energy’s issuance or sale of stock or other securities (including securities convertible into our stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements), and sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business and entering into any other corporate transaction which would cause SunCoke Energy to undergo a 50 percent or greater change in its stock ownership. These key restrictions expired on January 18, 2014.

SunCoke Energy has generally agreed to indemnify Sunoco and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the contribution or the Distribution to the extent caused by an acquisition of SunCoke Energy’s stock or assets, or other of its actions. This indemnification applies even if Sunoco has permitted SunCoke Energy to take an action that would otherwise have been prohibited under the tax-related covenants as described above.

SunCoke Energy’s tax provision was computed on a theoretical separate-return basis through the Distribution Date. To the extent any tax assets or liabilities computed on that basis differ from amounts actually payable or realizable under the provisions of the tax sharing agreement, adjustments to the tax assets and liabilities will be reflected as an income tax expense or benefit with a corresponding payable due to Sunoco, if necessary, when such amounts have been effectively settled under the terms of the tax sharing agreement. SunCoke Energy will continue to monitor the utilization of all tax attributes subject to the tax sharing agreement as applicable tax returns are filed or as tax examinations progress and will record additional adjustments when necessary, consistent with the terms of the tax sharing agreement.

At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the rate as necessary.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 17.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to income tax benefits related to tax credits and by the impact of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in partnership. The nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes an income tax benefit of $2.0 million related to the enacted reduction in Indiana statutory tax rate.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 7.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 18.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the impact of earnings that are attributable to noncontrolling ownership interests in partnerships and nonconventional fuel credits. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also includes income tax expense of $0.4 million related to prior period adjustments associated with local income taxes due for the Company's Middletown operations, $0.9 million favorable provision-to-return adjustments as a result of filing our 2012 federal income taxes return, and $1.1 million of additional valuation allowances associated with state and local taxes.

The Company has not recorded income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our India joint venture because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. These additional foreign earnings could be subject to additional tax if remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend. At September 30, 2014, our VISA SunCoke joint venture had a cumulative loss on unconsolidated earnings.

Drop-Down Transaction

3. Drop-Down Transaction

On May 9, 2014, SunCoke Energy contributed an additional33.0 percentinterest in the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities to the Partnership for total consideration of$365.0 million(the "Drop-Down"). After the Drop-Down, SunCoke Energy continued to own the general partner of the Partnership, which consisted of a2.0 percentownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and decreased its limited partner interest in the Partnership from 55.9 percent to 54.1 percent. The remaining43.9 percentinterest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders and was reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. We accounted for the Drop-Down as an equity transaction, which resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest and an increase in SunCoke's Equity of$83.7 million.

Total consideration received for the Drop-Down included2.7 million common units totaling $80.0 millionand $3.3 millionof general partner interests. In addition, the Partnership assumed and repaid approximately$271.3 millionof our outstanding debt and other liabilities, including a market premium of$11.4 millionto complete the tender of the senior unsecured notes. The remaining$10.4 millionof consideration consisted of a$3.4 millioncash payment from the Partnership as well as$7.0 millionwithheld by the Partnership to pre-fund our obligation to the Partnership for the anticipated cost of the environmental remediation project at Haverhill.

In conjunction with the Drop-Down, the Partnership issued3.2 millioncommon units to the public for$88.7 million of net proceeds, which was completed on April 30, 2014, and received approximately$263.1 millionof gross proceeds from the issuance of$250.0 millionaggregate principal amount of 7.375 percentsenior notes due 2020 through a private placement on May 9, 2014. In addition, the Partnership received $5.0 million to fund interest from February 1, 2014 to May 9, 2014, the period prior to the issuance. This interest was paid to noteholders on August 1, 2014. See Note 7.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

11. Share-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we granted share-based compensation to eligible participants under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Long-Term Performance Enhancement Plan (“SunCoke LTPEP”).

Stock Options

We granted stock options to purchase 407,075 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The stock options become exercisable in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant. The stock options expire 10 years from the date of grant. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP.

The Company calculates the value of each employee stock option, estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of employee stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $7.86 using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2014
Risk free interest rate	1.57		%
Expected term	5 years
Volatility	38		%
Dividend yield	—		%
Weighted-average exercise price	$	22.30

We based our expected volatility on our historical volatility over our entire available trading history. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant for periods which approximate the expected life of the option. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s future expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of employee options represents the average contractual term adjusted by the average vesting period of each option tranche. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.1 million and $3.8 million for stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $5.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issued 210,673 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that vest in three annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP. The weighted-average fair value of the RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $22.29 was based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.0 million and $2.9 million for RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $8.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.3 years.

Performance Share Units

The Company issued 84,734 performance share units ("PSU") for shares of the Company's common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that vest on December 31, 2016. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP. The weighted average fair value of the PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is $26.09 and is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant as well as a Monte Carlo simulation for the portion of the award subject to a market condition. The Company estimated a three percent forfeiture rate for these awards. This estimated forfeiture rate may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

The number of PSUs ultimately awarded will be adjusted based upon the following metrics: (1) 50 percent of the award will be determined by the Company's three year total shareholder return ("TSR") as compared to the TSR of the companies making up the S&P 600; and (2) 50 percent of the award will be determined by the Company's three year average pre-tax return on capital for the Company's coke business. Each portion of the award may be adjusted between zero and 200 percent of the original units granted.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for PSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $3.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PSUs. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.4 years.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

16. Business Segment Information

The Company is an independent owner and operator of five cokemaking facilities in the eastern and midwestern regions of the U.S. The Company is also the operator of a cokemaking facility for a project company in Brazil in which it has a preferred stock investment and is a 49 percent joint venture partner in a cokemaking operation in India. In addition to its cokemaking operations, the Company has metallurgical coal mining operations in the eastern U.S. as well as coal handling and blending operations in the eastern and midwestern regions of the U.S. These coal mining operations are included in discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 2.

The Domestic Coke segment includes the Jewell, Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown cokemaking facilities. Each of these facilities produces coke and all facilities except Jewell recover waste heat which is converted to steam or electricity through a similar production process. Coke sales at each of the Company's five domestic cokemaking facilities are made pursuant to long-term take-or-pay agreements with ArcelorMittal, AK Steel, and U.S. Steel. Each of the coke sales agreements contains pass-through provisions for costs incurred in the cokemaking process, including coal procurement costs (subject to meeting contractual coal-to-coke yields), operating and maintenance expense, costs related to the transportation of coke to the customers, taxes (other than income taxes) and costs associated with changes in regulation, in addition to containing a fixed fee.

On March 18, 2013, we completed the transaction to form a cokemaking joint venture called VISA SunCoke with VISA Steel. VISA SunCoke is comprised of a 440 thousand ton heat recovery cokemaking facility and the facility's associated steam generation units in Odisha, India. We own a 49 percent interest in VISA SunCoke and account for this investment under the equity method. We recognize our share of earnings in VISA SunCoke on a one-month lag and began recognizing such earnings in the second quarter of 2013. The results of our joint venture are presented below in the India Coke segment.

The Brazil Coke segment operates a cokemaking facility located in Vitória, Brazil for a project company. The Brazil Coke segment earns income from the Brazilian facility through (1) licensing and operating fees payable to us under long-term contracts with the local project company that will run through at least 2022; and (2) an annual preferred dividend on our preferred stock investment from the project company guaranteed by the Brazil subsidiary of ArcelorMittal.

Coal Logistics operations are comprised of Lake Terminal and KRT facilities located in Indiana and Kentucky, respectively. The Partnership acquired Lake Terminal on August 30, 2013 and KRT on October 1, 2013 and began providing coal handling and blending services. This business has a collective capacity to blend and transload more than 30 million tons of coal annually. Coal handling and blending services are provided to third party customers as well as certain SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Coal handling and blending results are presented in the Coal Logistics segment below.

Corporate expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other, including certain legacy coal mining assets (i.e. coal preparation plant and net pension assets) and liabilities (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations) that are expected to be retained by the Company. The related legacy costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations but included in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Interest expense, net, which consists principally of interest income, interest expense and interest capitalized, is also excluded from segment results. Segment assets, net of tax are those assets that are utilized within a specific segment and excludes deferred tax assets and current tax receivables.

The following table includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance:

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for asset and goodwill impairment, costs related to exiting our Coal business, sales discounts and the interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our equity method investment. 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 equity method investment. 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 from continuing operations equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations less Legacy costs.

Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operationsequals coal business Adjusted EBITDA excluding corporate cost allocation attributable to coal, costs related to exiting our coal business and certain retained coal-related costs reclassified as Legacy costs.

Legacy costs equals royalty revenues, coal pension/other post-employment benefits, coal workers' compensation, black lung, prep. plant and certain other coal-related costs that we expect to retain after sale of the coal business.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company's net assets 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, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

Set forth below is additional detail as to how we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance, as well as a discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

Operating Performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this measure is helpful to management in identifying trends in our performance. Adjusted EBITDA helps management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize our financial performance while neutralizing the impact of capital structure on financial results. Accordingly, we believe this metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely our cost structure and expenses.

Limitations. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA:

• does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• does not reflect changes in, or cash requirement for, working capital needs;

• does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on or principal payments of our debt;

• does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses;

• excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash; and includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information [Abstract]

Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

17. Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Certain 100 percent owned subsidiaries of the Company serve as guarantors of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and $240 million Notes (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). These guarantees are full and unconditional (subject, in the case of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, to customary release provisions as described below) and joint and several. For purposes of the following footnote, SunCoke Energy, Inc. is referred to as “Issuer.” The indenture dated July 26, 2011 among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., governs subsidiaries designated as “Guarantor Subsidiaries.” All other consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are collectively referred to as “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.”

The ability of the Partnership and Indiana Harbor to pay dividends and make loans to the Company is restricted under the partnership agreements of the Partnership and Indiana Harbor, respectively. The credit agreement governing the Partnership’s credit facility and the indenture governing the Partnership Notes contain customary provisions which would potentially restrict the Partnership’s ability to make distributions or loans to the Company under certain circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2013, less than 25 percent of net assets were restricted.

The guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary will terminate upon:

• a sale or other disposition of the Guarantor Subsidiary or of all or substantially all of its assets;

• a sale of the majority of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor Subsidiary to a third party, after which the Guarantor Subsidiary is no longer a "Restricted Subsidiary" in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes;

• the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor Subsidiary so long as no "Default" or "Event of Default," as defined under the indenture governing the Notes, has occurred as a result thereof;

• the designation of a Guarantor Subsidiary as an "unrestricted subsidiary" in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes

• the requirements for defeasance or discharge of the indentures governing the Notes having been satisfied;

• the release, other than the discharge through payments by a Guarantor Subsidiary, from its guarantee under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness that resulted in the obligation of the Guarantor Subsidiary under the indenture governing the Notes.

The following supplemental condensed combining and consolidating financial information reflects the Issuer’s separate accounts, the combined accounts of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combining and consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the Issuer’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed combining and consolidating information, the Issuer’s investments in its subsidiaries and the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ investments in its subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

10. Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2014, we initiated a plan to reduce the workforce in our corporate office. The workforce reduction costs related to this plan were primarily part of an existing benefit arrangement; therefore, the full amount of expected severance benefits was accrued during the first quarter of 2014. We incurred total charges of$1.4 million in Corporate and Other related to this initiative and do not expect to incur any additional charges.
