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."), which consists of our Haverhill Coke Company LLC ("Haverhill"), Middletown Coke Company, LLC ("Middletown"), Gateway Energy and Coke Company, LLC ("Granite City"), Jewell Coke Company, L.P. ("Jewell") and Indiana Harbor Coke Company ("Indiana Harbor") cokemaking facilities. Internationally, we operate a cokemaking facility in Brazil, in which we have a preferred stock investment. We also have a cokemaking joint venture with VISA Steel Limited in India called VISA SunCoke Limited ("VISA SunCoke"). In 2015, we impaired our 49 percent investment in VISA SunCoke to zero, and consequently, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, we no longer include our share of VISA SunCoke in our financial results.

Additionally, we own and operate a Coal Logistics business, which provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities. Our Coal Logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT"), SunCoke Lake Terminal, LLC ("Lake Terminal") and Dismal River Terminal, LLC ("DRT").

Our consolidated financial statements include SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a publicly-traded partnership. At June 30, 2016, we owned the general partner of the Partnership, which consists of a 2.0 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and owned a 53.9 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The remaining 44.1 percent interest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders. SunCoke is considered the primary beneficiary of the Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Partnership's economic performance.

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.”

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 June 30, 2016 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 consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. It is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting revenue gross versus net),”

6

which clarifies gross versus net revenue reporting when another party is involved in the transaction. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which amends the revenue guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which provides narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectibility, non-cash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and permits early adoption on a limited basis. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine its potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Reclassifications

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

2. Coal Mining Business

In April 2016, the Company completed the disposal of its coal mining business, previously included in the Coal Mining segment, to Revelation Energy, LLC ("Revelation") who assumed substantially all of the Company's remaining coal mining assets, mineral leases, real estate and a substantial portion of our mining reclamation obligations. Under the terms of the agreement Revelation received $12.1 million from the Company to take ownership of the assets and liabilities, which was reflected in cash flows used in investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized losses associated with this divestiture of $5.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, which included a $10.7 million asset impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2016. These losses were recorded in loss on divestiture of business on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and included transaction-related costs of $0.7 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which were reflected in cash flows used in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015 has been reclassified to present the assets and liabilities associated with the divestiture of the coal mining business as held for sale. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $12.3 million of assets held for sale, which primarily consisted of $11.4 million of properties, plants, and equipment, net, and $6.8 million of liabilities held for sale, which primarily consisted of $5.9 million of asset retirement obligations.

3. Related Party Transactions

Our Coal Logistics business provides coal handling and storage services to Murray American Coal ("Murray") and Foresight Energy LP ("Foresight"), who are related parties with The Cline Group. The Cline Group currently owns a 10.3 percent interest in the Partnership, acquired as part of the CMT acquisition. Additionally, Murray also holds a significant interest in Foresight. Sales to Murray and Foresight accounted $5.4 million, or 1.8 percent, and $10.5 million, or 1.7 percent, respectively, of the Partnership's sales and other operating revenue and were recorded in the Coal Logistics segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, receivables from Murray and Foresight were $10.2 million, which were recorded in receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and deferred revenue for minimum volume payments was $17.3 million, which was recorded in deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue on these take-or-pay contracts are billed quarterly, but recognized into income at the earlier of when service is provided or annually based on the terms of the contract.

In connection with the acquisition of CMT, the Partnership assumed Raven Energy LLC's promissory note ("Promissory Note") of $114.9 million with a subsidiary of The Cline Group as the lender. At June 30, 2016, the outstanding balance was$113.7 million, which included $1.1 million recorded in the current portion of long-term debt and $112.6 million recorded in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8. Additionally, as part of the acquisition of CMT, the Partnership entered into a contingent consideration agreement with The Cline Group, which had a fair value of $4.2 million at June 30, 2016 and was included in other deferred charges and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 15.

Also as part of the CMT acquisition, the Partnership withheld $21.5 millionin cash to fund the completion of capital improvements at CMT. The cash withheld was recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership amended an agreement with The Cline Group, which unrestricted $6.0 million of the restricted cash and relieved any obligation of the Partnership to repay these amounts to The Cline Group. The remaining restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2016 of $2.3 million is primarily related to the installation of the new state-of-the-art ship loader, which is expected to be placed into service in the second half of 2016 and will allow for faster coal loading onto larger ships.

4. Inventories

The components of inventories were as follows:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Coal	$	62.0	$	76.5
Coke	7.6		8.8
Materials, supplies and other	36.8		36.5
Total inventories	$	106.4	$	121.8

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill allocated to SunCoke's reportable segments as of June 30, 2016 and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:

	Domestic Coke		Coal Logistics			Total
	(Dollars in millions)
Net balance at December 31, 2015	$	3.4	$	67.7		$	71.1
Adjustments(1)	—		(0.6		)	(0.6		)
Net balance at June 30, 2016	$	3.4	$	67.1		$	70.5

(1) In the first quarter of 2016, a working capital adjustment to the acquisition date fair value of the acquired net assets decreased the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill by $0.6 million.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is tested for impairment as of October 1 of each year, or when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit to below its carrying value. There were no events or circumstances in the first half of 2016 that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit to below its carrying value.

However, both the thermal and metallurgical coal markets remain challenged. Several U.S. coal producers, including certain of the Partnership's Coal Logistics customers, have cut production and idled mining operations in response to market conditions. A number of coal producers also have filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although the U.S. coal industry is under extreme pressure, we do not know to what extent the Partnership's Coal Logistics business may be affected.

A significant portion of the Partnership's revenues and cash flows from CMT are derived from long-term, take-or-pay contracts with Foresight and Murray. However, both customers currently face significant challenges. Foresight has disclosed that it is in default of certain corporate indentures and other debt documents and has been actively negotiating an out-of-court restructuring with its bondholders and other creditors. On July 22, 2016, Foresight announced that it had reached agreements on a global restructuring of indebtedness with its bondholders, its lenders and other creditors. However, the terms of this global restructuring are complex and Foresight has disclosed that these agreements may be subject to termination upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding, or if certain conditions are not commenced by August 1, 2016 and then satisfied by August 31, 2016. While these agreements with its creditors are a positive development, there can be no assurance that Foresight’s proposed global restructuring ultimately will be consummated. Murray also has been affected by current economic conditions and reported that on June 29, 2016 it sent a WARN Act notice to employees indicating that Murray could lay off as many as 4,400 employees, or about 80 percent of its workforce, due to weak coal markets. The WARN Act requires a 60-day waiting period before large layoffs can occur. In addition, Murray’s CEO has commented publicly regarding the risks to Murray’s business, including the risk of a potential bankruptcy.

Despite current challenges, the Partnership's valuation model assumes performance under these contracts and future renewals. However, to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, such as a declaration of bankruptcy by Foresight and/or Murray, future assessments of goodwill and intangible assets may result in material impairment charges in the near term.

Total		$	200.6	$	16.0	$	184.6	$	200.6	$	10.4	$	190.2

Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $2.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Based on the carrying value of the finite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2016, we estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years as follows:

	Amount
	(Dollars in millions)
2016(1)	$	5.5
2017	11.1
2018	11.1

2021-Thereafter	135.3
Total	$	184.6

(1) Excludes amortization expense recorded during six months ended June 30, 2016.

6. Income Taxes

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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was zero percent and 19.5 percent, respectively, as compared to the 35 percent federal statutory rate, primarily due to the impact of earnings attributable to noncontrolling ownership interests in partnerships.

The Company’s effective tax rate for three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 12.1 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, as compared to the 35 percent federal statutory rate, primarily due to income tax benefit of $1.4 million related to the dropdown of Granite City and the impact of earnings attributable to noncontrolling ownership interests in partnerships.

On January 17, 2012, SunCoke Energy and Sunoco, Inc. 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. 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.

Partnership Notes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership continued de-levering its balance sheet and repurchased $17.1 million and $69.9 million face value of outstanding Partnership Notes for $13.8 million and $46.4 million of cash payments, respectively. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million and $23.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which included a write-off of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of unamortized original issue premium, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Revolving Facility

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repaid $40.4 million on the Revolving Facility and, as a result of the divestiture of the coal mining business, the Company also cancelled approximately$4 million of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2016, the Revolving Facility had letters of credit outstanding of $30.1 million and an outstanding balance of $20.0 million, leaving$99.9 million available subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Partnership Revolver

At June 30, 2016, the Partnership Revolver had $1.5 million of letters of credit outstanding and an outstanding balance of $182.0 million, leaving $66.5 million available.

Covenants

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,

10

(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 3.25 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 4.50 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. The Partnership Term Loan has the same covenants as the previously discussed Partnership Revolver covenants.

Under the terms of the promissory agreement, Raven Energy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is subject to a maximum leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending prior to August 12, 2018, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the promissory agreement. For any fiscal quarter ending on or after August 12, 2018, the maximum leverage ratio is 4.50:1.00. Additionally, in order to make restricted payments, Raven Energy LLC is subject to a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.00:1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by fixed charges as defined by the promissory agreement.

If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the lenders' credit commitment could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the Revolving Facility, Partnership Revolver, Partnership Term Loan and Promissory Note could be declared immediately due and payable. The Partnership has a cross-default provision that applies to our indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $20 million. 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.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company and the Partnership were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the credit agreement and promissory agreement. We do not anticipate violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

9. Retirement Benefits Plans

The Company 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.

The termination of coal mining employees during the first quarter of 2015 triggered a postretirement benefit plan curtailment gain of$4.0 million, which represented accelerated amortization of prior service credits previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Postretirement benefit plans expense (benefit) consisted of the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost on benefit obligations	$	0.3		$	0.3		$	0.6		$	0.6
Amortization of:
Actuarial losses	0.2			0.2			0.4			0.4
Prior service benefit	(0.2		)	(0.3		)	(0.4		)	(0.7		)
Curtailment gain	—			—			—			(4.0		)
Total expense (benefit)	$	0.3		$	0.2		$	0.6		$	(3.7	)

The Company previously had a defined benefit pension plan, which was terminated in June 2015. As a result of the pension termination, unrecognized losses, which previously were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were recognized as expense. The net settlement loss of $12.6 million was recorded in cost of products sold and operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has defined contribution plans which provide retirement benefits for certain of its employees. The Company’s contributions, which are principally based on the Company’s pretax income and the aggregate compensation levels of participating employees are charged against income as incurred. These contributions amounted to $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.4 million for three and six months ended 2015, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

SunCoke Energy 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 certain 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 entered into a consent decree in federal district court with these parties. The consent decree includes a $2.2 million civil penalty payment, which was paid in December 2014, as well as capital projects already underway to improve the reliability of the energy recovery systems and enhance environmental performance at the Haverhill and Granite City facilities. We anticipate spending approximately$130 million related to these projects, of which we have spent approximately$90 million to date. The remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first quarter of2019. A portion of the proceeds from the Partnership's initial public offering and subsequent dropdowns are being used to fund $119 million of these environmental remediation projects.

SunCoke Energy has also received NOVs, Findings of Violations ("FOVs"), and information requests from the EPA related to our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. NOVs and/or FOVs were received in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016. After initial discussions with the EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (“IDEM”) in 2010,resolution of the NOVs/FOVs was postponed by mutual agreement because of ongoing discussions regarding the NOVs at Haverhill and Granite City. In January 2012, the Company began working in a cooperative manner to address the allegations with the EPA, the IDEM and Cokenergy, Inc., an independent power producer that owns and operates an energy facility, including heat recovery equipment and a flue gas desulfurization system, that processes hot flue gas from our Indiana Harbor facility to produce steam and electricity and to reduce the sulfur and particulate content of such flue gas. The parties are meeting regularly in 2016. Capital projects are underway to address items that may be required in conjunction with a settlement of the NOVs/FOVs. Settlement may require payment of a penalty for alleged past violations as well as undertaking capital projects to enhance reliability and environmental performance. At this time, SunCoke Energy cannot yet assess any additional injunctive relief or potential monetary penalty and any potential future citations. The Company is unable to determine a range of probable or reasonably possible loss.

The Company is a party to certain other pending and threatened claims, including matters related to commercial and tax disputes, product liability, employment claims, personal injury claims, premises-liability claims, allegations of exposures 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 claims would not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

11. Restructuring

    In connection with the restructuring of our coal mining business, the Company recorded $10.2 million of employee-related restructuring costs prior to December 31, 2015 within our Coal Mining segment. An additional $0.2 million of severance was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 in connection with the disposition of the coal business in April 2016.

In the third and fourth quarter of 2015, we reduced the workforce in our corporate office and incurred total charges of $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in Corporate and Other. Employee-related restructuring costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table presents accrued restructuring and related activity for Coal Mining and Corporate and Other as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which is included in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

	Coal Mining			Corporate			Total
	(Dollars in millions)
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	0.8		$	3.9		$	4.7
Charges	0.2			—			0.2
Cash payments	(0.7		)	(2.4		)	(3.1		)
Balance at June 30, 2016	$	0.3		$	1.5		$	1.8

The restructuring balance at June 30, 2016 relates to severance, and we expect it will be substantially paid in 2016.

12. Share-Based Compensation

Equity Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we granted share-based compensation to eligible participants under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Long-Term Performance Enhancement Plan (“SunCoke LTPEP”). All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTPEP.

Stock Options

We granted the following stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2016 with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

		Weighted Average Per Share
	No. of Shares	Exercise Price		Grant Date Fair Value
Traditional Stock options:
February grants	95,001	$	3.80	$	1.71
March grants	90,925	$	6.03	$	2.78
Performance based options:
February grants	58,448	$	3.80	$	1.06
March grants	90,925	$	6.03	$	2.42

The stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant. In order to become exercisable, the performance based options also require the closing price of the Company's common stock to reach or exceed $9.50 for any 15 trading days during thethree-year period beginning on the grant date. The stock options expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company calculates the value of each employee stock option, estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a Monte Carlo simulation for the performance based options. The weighted-average fair value of employee stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was based on using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Risk-free interest rate	1.25	%
Expected term	5 years
Volatility	52	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

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 expected term of the employee options represent the average contractual term adjusted by the average vesting period of each option tranche. We based our expected volatility on our historical volatility over our entire available trading history. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of dividend payouts at the time of grant.

Restricted Stock Units Settled in Shares

The Company did not issue any restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for shares of the Company’s common stock during thesix months ended June 30, 2016.

13

Performance Share Units

The Company granted the following performance share units ("PSUs") for shares of the Company's common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2016that vest on December 31, 2018:

	ROIC Portion(1)			TSR Portion(2)			Total
	Shares	Fair Value per Share		Shares	Fair Value per Share		Grant Date Fair Value
							(Dollars in millions)
February grants	105,210	$	5.66	105,210	$	5.81	$	1.2
March grants(3)	67,167	$	10.51	201,500	$	6.35	$	2.0

(1) The number of PSU's ultimately awarded will be determined by the Company's three year average pre-tax return on capital for the Company's Coke and Coal Logistics businesses. If at any time during the vesting period the closing price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for any 15 trading days, the pre-tax return on capital portion of the award, as adjusted, will be multiplied by two.

(2) The number of PSU's ultimately awarded 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.

(3) The final vesting value of the TSR portion of this award cannot exceed $4.9 million.

Each portion of the award may vest between zero and 200 percent of the original units granted. The fair value of the PSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 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.

Liability Classified Awards

Restricted Stock Units Settled in Cash

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 198,668 restricted stock units to be settled in cash ("Cash RSUs"), which vest in three annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value of the Cash RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $3.82 and was based on the closing price of our common stock on the day of grant.

The Cash RSU liability at June 30, 2016 was adjusted based on the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2016 of $5.82 per share. The liability at June 30, 2016 was $0.1 million, which was included in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash Incentive Award

The Company also granted share-based compensation to eligible participants under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan ("SunCoke LTCIP"), which became effective January 1, 2016. SunCoke LTCIP is designed to provide for performance-based, cash-settled awards. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment as defined by the SunCoke LTCIP.

The Company issued a grant date fair value award of $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that vest onDecember 31, 2018. The ultimate award value will be adjusted based upon the Company's three year average pre-tax return on capital for the Company's Coke and Coal Logistics businesses, and if at any time during the vesting period the closing price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for any 15 trading days, the award, as adjusted, will be multiplied by two, but will be capped at 200 percent of the target award.

The cash incentive award liability at June 30, 2016 was recorded based on the Company's adjusted three year average pre-tax return on capital for the Company's Coke and Coal Logistics businesses and a Monte Carlo simulation for the market multiplier. The cash incentive award liability at June 30, 2016 was not material.

(3) Forfeiture rates may be revised in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs.

13. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) has been computed by dividing net loss income 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 EPS to those used to compute diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016	2015	2016	2015
	(Shares in millions)
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding-basic	64.2	65.2	64.1	65.7
Add: Effect of dilutive share-based compensation awards	—	—	—	—
Weighted-average number of shares-diluted	64.2	65.2	64.1	65.7

The following table shows stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units that are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the shares would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

(3) The three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes $0.2 million and $0.4 million of amortization of actuarial losses related to the Company's defined benefit plan, which was terminated in the second quarter of 2015.

15. 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.

16

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. The Company's cash equivalents, which amounted to $2.2 million and $15.4 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. These inputs are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy.

CMT Contingent Consideration

In connection with the CMT acquisition, the Partnership entered into a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the Partnership to make future payments to The Cline Group based on future volume over a specified threshold, price, and contract renewals. During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership amended the contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group, which reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability to $4.2 million atMarch 31, 2016, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recognized as a reduction to costs of products sold and operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The contingent consideration liability remained at $4.2 million at June 30, 2016 and was included in other deferred credits and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated based on a probability-weighted analysis using significant inputs that are not observable in the market, or Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions included probability adjusted levels of coal handling services provided by CMT, anticipated price per ton on future sales, and probability of contract renewal including length of future contracts, volume commitment, and anticipated price per ton.

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).

Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s total debt was estimated to be $812.7 million, compared to a carrying amount of $892.9 million. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

16. Business Segment Information

The Company reports its business through four segments: Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke, Coal Logistics and Coal Mining. 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 and Indiana Harbor recover waste heat, which is converted to steam or electricity through a similar production process. Steam is provided to third-party customers primarily pursuant to steam supply and purchase agreements. Electricity is sold into the regional power market or to AK Steel pursuant to energy sales agreements. 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.

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 CMT located in Louisiana, KRT located in West Virginia, Lake Terminal, located in Indiana, and DRT, located in Virginia adjacent to our Jewell cokemaking facility. DRT was constructed to accommodate Jewell in its direct procurement of third-party coal, beginning in 2016. This business has a collective capacity to mix and transload approximately 35 million tons of coal annually and provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as our own cokemaking facilities and other SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Coal handling and mixing results are presented in the Coal Logistics segment.

Until the business was divested in April 2016, the Coal Mining segment conducted coal mining operations, mined by contractors, near the Company’s Jewell cokemaking facility with mines located in Virginia and West Virginia. Prior to April 2016, a substantial portion of the coal production was sold to the Jewell cokemaking facility for conversion into coke. Some coal was also sold to other cokemaking facilities within the Domestic Coke segment. Historically, intersegment Coal Mining

17

revenues for coal sales to the Domestic Coke segment were reflective of the contract price that the facilities within the Domestic Coke segment charge their customers, which approximated the market prices for this quality of metallurgical coal. In 2016, the Company transitioned to a 100 percent purchased third-party coal model, which resulted in a shift of coal transportation costs from the Coal Mining segment to the Domestic Coke segment beginning in the first quarter of 2016. These additional transportation costs are included in Coal Mining's intersegment revenues to Domestic Coke. It is impracticable to show the impacts of this change in our coal procurement model in segment results on a comparable basis.

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 expenses (i.e. black lung, workers' compensation and other postretirement employee benefit obligations). These legacy costs are included in Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA. The results of our equity method investment in Visa SunCoke were also included in Corporate and Other until the Company impaired its investment to zero in the third quarter of 2015 and suspended equity method accounting. Interest expense, net, which consists principally of interest income and interest expense, net of capitalized interest, and gains and losses on extinguishment of debt are also excluded from segment results. Segment assets, net of tax are those assets utilized within a specific segment and exclude current tax receivables and assets held for sale.

The following table includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is the measure of segment profit or loss and liquidity 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 asearnings before interest, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted for impairments, coal rationalization costs, changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of CMT, and interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairments 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.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance and liquidity of the Company's net assets and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is additional discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

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 items such as depreciation and amortization;

• 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 attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, which are its most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SunCoke Energy, Inc.	$	27.9		$	15.3		$	51.4		$	45.1

(1) In response to the SEC’s May 2016 update of its guidance of the appropriate use of non-GAAP financial measures, first quarter of 2016 Adjusted EBITDA has been recast to no longer include Coal Logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue.

(2) Reflects share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization related to our equity method investment in VISA SunCoke.

(3) Coal rationalization costs (income) includes employee severance, contract termination costs and other costs to idle mines incurred during the execution of our coal rationalization plan. The six months ended June 30, 2015, included $2.2 million of income related to a severance accrual adjustment.

(4) The Partnership amended its contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group, which reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(5) Reflects the expiration of land deposits in connection with the Company's potential new cokemaking facility to be constructed in Kentucky.

(6) Reflects noncontrolling interest in Indiana Harbor and the portion of the Partnership owned by public unitholders.

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 $44.6 million of 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, 2015, less than 25 percent of net assets were restricted. Additionally, in 2015, the Company's Board of Directors designated certain coal mining entities as unrestricted subsidiaries. As such, all the subsidiaries described above are presented as "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries." There have been no changes to the "Guarantor Subsidiaries" and "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries" during the first half of 2016.

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; and

• 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 the United States ("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.

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, built, own and operate five cokemaking facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), which consist of our Haverhill Coke Company LLC ("Haverhill"), Middletown Coke Company, LLC ("Middletown"), Gateway Energy and Coke Company, LLC ("Granite City"), Jewell Coke Company, L.P. ("Jewell") and Indiana Harbor Coke Company ("Indiana Harbor") cokemaking facilities. These five cokemaking facilities have collective nameplate capacity to produce approximately 4.2 million tons of coke per year.

Additionally, we have designed and operate one cokemaking facility in Brazil under licensing and operating agreements on behalf of our customer. We have a preferred stock investment in the project company that owns this facility, which has approximately 1.7 million tons of annual cokemaking capacity. We also hold a 49 percent investment in a joint venture with VISA Steel Limited in India ("VISA SunCoke"), which was fully impaired in 2015, and consequently, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, we no longer included our share of VISA SunCoke in our financial results.

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 eight 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. No other coke sales contract has an early termination clause.

Our core business model is predicated on providing steelmakers an alternative to investing capital in their own captive coke production facilities. We direct our marketing efforts principally towards steelmaking customers that require coke for use in their blast furnaces. Our steelmaking customers are currently operating in an environment that is challenged by global overcapacity and lower demand.  While steel pricing has rebounded in 2016, aided by favorable rulings from the Department of Commerce ("DOC") and the International Trade Commission ("ITC") on unfairly traded steel imports, as well as improved global supply and demand dynamics, our customers have kept certain facilities idled as they await further signs of market stability.  Despite these challenges, our customers continue to comply with the terms of their long-term, take-or-pay contracts with us.

Our Granite City facility and the first phase of our Haverhill facility, or Haverhill 1, have steam generation facilities, which use hot flue gas from the cokemaking process to produce steam for sale to customers pursuant to steam supply and purchase agreements. Granite City sells steam to U.S. Steel and Haverhill 1 provides steam to Altivia Petrochemicals, LLC ("Altivia"). Our Middletown facility and the second phase of our Haverhill facility, or Haverhill 2, have cogeneration plants that use the hot flue gas created by the cokemaking process to generate electricity, which is either sold into the regional power market or to AK Steel pursuant to energy sales agreements.

The following table sets forth information about our cokemaking facilities and our coke and energy sales agreements:

Facility	Location	Customer	Year of Start Up	Contract Expiration	Number of Coke Ovens	Annual Cokemaking Capacity (thousands of tons)	Use of Waste Heat
Owned and Operated:

Total					1,238	6,380

(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 includes 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.

We also own and operate a Coal Logistics business, which provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities. Our Coal Logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT"), SunCoke Lake Terminal, LLC ("Lake Terminal") and Dismal River Terminal, LLC ("DRT"). Our Coal Logistics business has collective capacity to mix and/or transload approximately 35 million tons of coal annually and store approximately 3 million tons. CMT is one of the largest export terminals on the U.S. gulf coast and has direct rail access and the capability to transload approximately 10 million tons of coal annually through its operations in Convent, Louisiana. Our terminal located in East Chicago, Indiana, Lake Terminal, provides coal handling and mixing services to SunCoke's Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. DRT is located in Virginia adjacent to our Jewell Cokemaking facility and was constructed to accommodate Jewell in its direct procurement of third-party coal, beginning in 2016. KRT is a leading metallurgical and thermal coal mixing and handling terminal service provider with collective capacity to mix and transload approximately 25 million tons of coal annually through operations in West Virginia. 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 mixing services. We do not take possession of coal in our Coal Logistics business, but instead earn revenue by providing coal handling and/or mixing services to our customers on a fee per ton basis. We provide mixing and/or handling services to steel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility and coal producing customers.

The financial performance of the Partnership's Coal Logistics business is substantially dependent upon a limited number of customers, each of whom currently is faced with a market depressed by oversupply and declining coal prices. The Partnership's CMT customers are also impacted by seaborne export market dynamics. Fluctuations in the benchmark price for coal delivery into northwest Europe, as referenced in the API2 index price, contribute to the Partnership's customers' decisions to place tons into the export market and thus impact transloading volumes through the Partnership's terminal facility.

33

Both the thermal and metallurgical coal markets remain challenged. Several U.S. coal producers, including certain of the Partnership's Coal Logistics customers, have cut production and idled mining operations in response to market conditions. A number of coal producers also have filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although the U.S. coal industry is under extreme pressure, we do not know to what extent the Partnership's Coal Logistics business may be affected.

A significant portion of the Partnership's revenues and cash flows from CMT are derived from long-term, take-or-pay contracts with Foresight Energy LP ("Foresight") and Murray American Coal ("Murray"). However, both customers currently face significant challenges. Foresight has disclosed that it is in default of certain corporate indentures and other debt documents and has been actively negotiating an out-of-court restructuring with its bondholders and other creditors. On July 22, 2016, Foresight announced that it had reached agreements on a global restructuring of indebtedness with its bondholders, its lenders and other creditors. However, the terms of this global restructuring are complex and Foresight has disclosed that these agreements may be subject to termination upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding, or if certain conditions are not commenced by August 1, 2016 and then satisfied by August 31, 2016. While these agreements with its creditors are a positive development, there can be no assurance that Foresight’s proposed global restructuring ultimately will be consummated. Murray also has been affected by current economic conditions and reported that on June 29, 2016 it sent a WARN Act notice to employees indicating that Murray could lay off as many as 4,400 employees, or about 80 percent of its workforce, due to weak coal markets. The WARN Act requires a 60-day waiting period before large layoffs can occur. In addition, Murray’s CEO has commented publicly regarding the risks to Murray’s business, including the risk of a potential bankruptcy.

While we do not know whether the Partnership's major coal handling agreements would be assumed or rejected in a potential bankruptcy process involving any of the Partnership's customers, the loss of any of these customers could have a significant and adverse effect on the Partnership's Coal Logistics business, results of operations and financial condition, and the Partnership's ability to make cash distributions.

Until its disposition in April 2016, we owned coal mining operations in Virginia and West Virginia. Our mining operations were mined by contractors and sold approximately 257 thousand tons of metallurgical coal (including internal sales to our cokemaking operations) in the first quarter of 2016.

Our consolidated financial statements include SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a publicly-traded master limited partnership. As of June 30, 2016, we owned the general partner of the Partnership, which consists of a 2.0 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights ("IDR"), and owned a 53.9 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The remaining 44.1 percent interest in the Partnership was held by public unitholders.

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.”

Recent Developments

• Coal Mining Business

In April 2016, the Company completed the disposal of its coal mining business, previously included in the Coal Mining segment, to Revelation Energy, LLC ("Revelation") who assumed substantially all of the Company's remaining coal mining assets, mineral leases, real estate and a substantial portion of our mining reclamation obligations. Under the terms of the agreement Revelation received $12.1 million from the Company to take ownership of the assets and liabilities, which was reflected in cash flows used in investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized losses associated with this divestiture of $5.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, which included a $10.7 million asset impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2016. These losses were recorded in loss on divestiture of business on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and included transaction-related costs of $0.7 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which were reflected in cash flows used in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On a go forward basis, we expect the remaining coal mining business to generate Adjusted EBITDA losses of approximately $2 million.

In conjunction with the transaction, Revelation and SunCoke’s Jewell cokemaking operations entered into a coal supply agreement whereby Revelation will supply approximately 300,000 tons of coal to Jewell Coke annually for the next five years at a market rate. The delivered cost, as compared to alternative coal sources, is favorable due to the proximity of the Jewell cokemaking facility to the mines.

•AK Steel Make-Whole

Our Haverhill 2 cokemaking facility supplies coke to AK Steel under a long-term, take-or-pay contract until 2022. During the first quarter of 2016, AK Steel elected to reduce 2016 production by 75 thousand tons at our Haverhill 2 facility. As a result, Domestic Coke sales tons were lower than our previous volume targets by approximately 26 thousand tons and 36 thousand tons during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Based on our long-term, take-or-pay contract, AK Steel provided us with make-whole payments. As such, we do not expect this reduction in volumes to impact Adjusted EBITDA targets.

Second Quarter Key Financial Results

• Revenues decreased$55.5 million, or 15.9 percent, to $292.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal prices in our Domestic Coke segment and lower sales volumes.

• Net loss attributable to SunCoke Energy, Inc. was $4.6 million and $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The improvement was primarily driven by a $3.5 million gain on the extinguishment of debt in the current year period as well as the absence of a $12.6 million non-cash pension termination charge recorded in the prior year.  These improvements were partially offset by lower volumes in the current year and a $5.1 million loss on the divestiture of the coal mining business, which was completed in April 2016.

• Cash provided by operating activities was $121.5 million and $76.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in operating cash flow is primarily due to the contribution of CMT's net cash provided by operating activities of $24.2 million as well as the absence of $7.8 million of coal severance payments during the prior year period. Additionally, the increase in operating cash flow reflects lower operating and maintenance spending and lower inventory levels at our Indiana Harbor facility.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $46.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $33.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by the contribution from CMT of $4.2 million as well as the previously mentioned pension termination charge in the prior year period. These items were partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Items Impacting Comparability

• Convent Marine Terminal. Comparability between periods was impacted by the acquisition of CMT during the third quarter of 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 CMT contributed revenues of $7.0 million and $14.7 million, respectively, costs and operating expense of $6.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The costs and operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016, included the $3.7 million gain from the reduction in fair value to the contingent consideration liability discussed below.

• Contingent consideration. In connection with the CMT acquisition, the Partnership entered into a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the Partnership to make future payments to The Cline Group based on future volumes over a specified threshold, price, and contract renewals. During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership amended the contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group, which reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recognized as a reduction to costs of products sold and operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

• Coal transportation costs. In 2016, the divestiture of the coal mining business and the transition to a 100 percent purchased third-party coal model resulted in a shift of coal transportation costs from the Coal Mining segment to our Jewell cokemaking facility, within our Domestic Coke segment, of approximately $1.3 million and $4.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. This shift of costs has no impact on 2016 expected consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. 

• Energy sales. Until the second quarter of 2015, Haverhill 1 sold steam to Haverhill Chemicals LLC ("Haverhill Chemicals"), which filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, Haverhill 1 provided steam, at no cost, to Altivia Petrochemicals, LLC ("Altivia"), which purchased the facility from Haverhill Chemicals. In the current arrangement, the Company is not currently generating revenues from providing steam to Altivia, which may be renegotiated beginning in 2018. The current arrangement mitigates costs associated with disposing of steam as well as potential compliance issues. Both

revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 million and $2.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2015 as a result of these arrangements.

• (Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt.During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership continued de-levering its balance sheet and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million and $23.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the dropdown of Granite City during the first quarter of 2015, the Partnership assumed and repaid $135.0 million of SunCoke's outstanding notes, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9.4 million.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth amounts from the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

Revenues. Total revenues were $292.7 million and $348.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $603.8 million and $672.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal prices in our Domestic Coke segment as well as lower sales volumes in both our Domestic Coke and Coal Logistics segments. These decreases were partially offset by revenue from CMT.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $281.8 million and $341.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $583.4 million and $640.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by lower coal prices and volumes in the current year periods as well as a $12.6 million non-cash pension plan termination charge recorded in the second quarter of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by CMT costs and operating expenses previously discussed in "Items Impacting Comparability" as well as a $4 million postretirement benefit plan curtailment gain recorded in the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included losses of $5.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, relating to the divestiture of our coal mining business.

36

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net was $13.4 million and $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $27.4 million and $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additional borrowings in connection with the acquisition of CMT increased interest expense $3.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and was partially offset by interest expense savings from the Partnership's repurchase of $117.4 million of its senior notes since the fourth quarter of 2015.

Income Taxes. We recorded no significant income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.8 million for the corresponding period of 2015. We recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increases were primarily due to higher overall earnings for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss from Equity Method Investment. During 2015, we impaired our equity method investment to zero. Consequently, we no longer include our share of VISA SunCoke in our financial results. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded our share of VISA SunCoke results on a one month lag and recognized a loss of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the common public unitholders’ interest in SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. as well as a 14.8 percent third-party interest in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $5.6 million and $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and was $22.3 million and $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $1.4 million compared to the prior period due to the lower Coal Logistics volumes and depreciation of CMT assets at the Partnership. The six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $10.9 million compared to the prior period primarily due to the Partnership's gain on extinguishment of debt previously discussed as well as lower operating and maintenance spending at Indiana Harbor.

Results of Reportable Business Segments

We report our business results through four segments:

• Domestic Coke consists of our Jewell, Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown cokemaking and heat recovery operations located in Vansant, Virginia; East Chicago, Indiana; Franklin Furnace, Ohio; Granite City, Illinois; and Middletown, Ohio, respectively;

• Brazil Coke consists of our operations in Vitória, Brazil, where we operate a cokemaking facility for a Brazilian subsidiary of ArcelorMittal;

• Coal Logistics consists of our coal handling and/or mixing services in East Chicago, Indiana; Ceredo, West Virginia; Belle, West Virginia; Convent, Louisiana; and Vansant, Virginia.

• Coal Mining consists of our former metallurgical coal mining operations conducted in Virginia and West Virginia, the majority of which were divested in April 2016.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and liquidity, which is used as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" near the end of this Item.

Analysis of Segment Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Domestic Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased$52.5 million, or 16.1 percent, to $274.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $326.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales volumes of 118 thousand tons as compared to the prior year period, which decreased revenues $30.1 million. This decrease in sales volumes was the result of the timing of sales recognition at our Jewell Coke facility, lower volumes at our Indiana Harbor facility and lower sales volumes to AK Steel, for which AK Steel provided make-whole payments as previously discussed in "Recent Developments." The remaining decrease of $22.4 million was primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal prices.

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA decreased$5.2 million, or 9.3 percent, to $51.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $56.2 million in the same period of 2015. Lower sales volumes at our Jewell and Indiana Harbor facilities discussed above and the complete write-off of a receivable related to 2015 spot coke sales to Essar Algoma decreased Adjusted EBITDA $5.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was also unfavorably impacted by $1.3 million of coal transportation charges, previously discussed in "Items Impacting Comparability," which were historically included in the Coal Mining segment. The remaining increase of $2.8 million was primarily driven by lower operating and maintenance spending at Indiana Harbor as compared to the same prior year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $19.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and was reasonably consistent with the prior year.

Brazil Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased$1.1 million, or 12.9 percent, to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $8.5 million for the same period of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency adjustments compared to the same prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the Brazil Coke segment of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was comparable to the prior year period.

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

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue increased$2.9 million, or 21.5 percent, to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $13.5 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The increase was driven by a $7.0 million contribution from CMT, partially offset by lower volumes at KRT and Lake Terminal. Below-target throughput in the current quarter was driven by demand-side challenges in both the thermal and metallurgical coal markets.

Adjusted EBITDA

Coal Logistics Adjusted EBITDA increased$0.4 million, or 8.0 percent, to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.0 million for the corresponding period of 2015. CMT contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million in the current year period, which was mostly offset by lower volumes at KRT and Lake Terminal.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2015, primarily due to $3.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense associated with CMT. Additionally, the Partnership revised the estimated useful lives of certain assets in its Coal Logistics segment, which resulted in additional depreciation of $2.2 million, or $0.03 per common share, during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

39

Coal Mining

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and operating revenues decreased$28.1 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $28.8 million for the corresponding period of 2015 as a result of the Company's divestiture of the coal mining business in April 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a loss of $5.4 million in the prior year period. The improved results reflect a shift of $1.3 million of coal transportation to our Domestic Coke segment and lower operating costs due to the divestiture of our business.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was zero for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of the divestiture of the business compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2015. The Company revised the estimated useful lives of certain coal preparation plant assets in its Coal Mining segment, which resulted in additional depreciation of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses, which include legacy costs, decreased$13.6 million to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $25.0 million in the same period of 2015, driven by a $12.6 million non-cash pension plan termination charge in the second quarter of 2015. Current period savings from lower headcount also contributed to lower corporate costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, remained consistent at $0.7 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Domestic Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased$66.6 million, or 10.6 percent, to 563.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $629.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the pass-through of lower coal prices, which decreased revenues $48.6 million. The remaining decrease of $18.0 million was primarily related to lower sales volumes of 67 thousand tons as compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by lower sales volumes to AK Steel, for which AK Steel provided make-whole payments as previously discussed in "Recent Developments."

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA decreased$3.6 million, or 3.3 percent, to $105.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $108.9 million in the same period of 2015. Lower coal-to-coke yield gains driven by lower coal prices and higher coal transportation charges previously discussed in "Items Impacting Comparability" decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $4.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million, driven primarily by lower operating and maintenance spending at Indiana Harbor as compared to the same prior year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and was reasonably consistent with the prior year period.

Brazil Coke

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue decreased$3.3 million, or 17.9 percent, to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $18.4 million for the same period of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency adjustments compared to the same prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the Brazil Coke segment decreased$2.0 million, or 29.9 percent, to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $6.7 million for the same period of 2015 due to lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency adjustments compared to the same prior year period.

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

40

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue increased$9.1 million, or 35.7 percent, to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $25.5 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $14.7 million contribution from CMT, partially offset by lower volumes at KRT and Lake Terminal. Below-target throughput in the current quarter was driven by demand-side challenges in both the thermal and metallurgical coal markets.

Adjusted EBITDA

Coal Logistics Adjusted EBITDA increased$3.7 million, or 48.7 percent, to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.6 million for the corresponding period of 2015. CMT contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million in the current year period, which was partially offset by lower volumes at KRT and Lake Terminal discussed above.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2015, primarily due to $7.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense associated with CMT. The Partnership revised the estimated useful lives of certain assets in its Coal Logistics segment, which resulted in additional depreciation of $2.2 million, or $0.03 per common share, during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Coal Mining

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and operating revenues decreased$33.8 million to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $56.6 million for the corresponding period of 2015 resulting from the divestiture of our coal mining business in April 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a loss of $8.5 million in the prior year period. The improved results reflect the shift of $4.0 million of coal transportation costs to our Domestic Coke segment and lower operating costs due to the divestiture of the business, partly offset by lower coal sales prices in 2016 as compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, decreased$5.0 million, to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $6.5 million for the same period of 2015. The decrease was driven by the exit from our coal mining business, as discussed above. Additionally, in 2015 the Company revised the estimated useful lives of certain coal preparation plant assets in its Coal Mining segment, which resulted in additional depreciation of $4.7 million, or $0.07 per common share, during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses, which include legacy costs, decreased$7.4 million to $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $33.4 million in the same period of 2015. The prior year period included a $12.6 million non-cash pension plan termination charge and a $4.0 million postretirement benefit plan curtailment gain. The remaining increase in costs of $1.2 million was driven by higher professional fees and unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments in deferred compensation driven by increases in the Company's share price, partially offset by current period savings of approximately $1.0 million from lower headcount.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, remained consistent at $1.5 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity needs are to finance the replacement of partially or fully depreciated assets and other capital expenditures, service our debt, fund investments, fund working capital and maintain cash reserves. Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and, from time to time, debt and equity offerings. We believe our current resources are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our current business for the foreseeable future. We may be required to access the capital markets for funding related to the maturities of our long-term borrowings beginning in 2019. In addition, we may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt. Such repurchases will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of June 30, 2016, we had $108.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $166.4 million of borrowing availability under our credit facilities.

On July 25, 2016, the Partnership's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5940 per unit. This distribution will be paid on September 1, 2016 to unitholders of record on August 15, 2016. The Partnership's Board of Director's decision to hold the quarterly distribution flat at $0.5940 per unit is part of the Partnership's capital allocation strategy to utilize excess cash flow towards repurchasing the Partnership's debt. The Partnership and its Board of Directors will continue to evaluate its capital allocation and distribution priorities on a quarterly basis.

In the first half of 2016, the Company took certain actions to support the Partnership's strategy to de-lever its balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company provided a "reimbursement holiday" on the $7.0 million of corporate costs allocated to the Partnership and also returned IDR cash distributions of $1.4 million to the Partnership ("IDR giveback"), resulting in capital contributions of $8.4 million. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company provided the Partnership with deferred payment terms until April 2017 on the reimbursement of the $6.9 million of allocated corporate costs and $1.4 million IDR cash distributions, resulting in a payment deferral from the Partnership of $8.3 million. The Company will not provide sponsor support in the third quarter of 2016.

The Partnership, aided by sponsor support from the Company, repurchased $69.9 million face value of outstanding Partnership Notes for $46.4 million of cash payments during the six months ended June 30, 2016. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $23.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repaid $40.4 million on the Revolving Facility. Also, as a result of the divestiture of the coal mining business, the Company cancelled approximately $4 million of letters of credit and expects to cancel additional letters of credit of approximately $1 million.

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 3.25 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 4.50 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. The Partnership Term Loan has the same covenants as the previously discussed Partnership Revolver covenants.

Under the terms of the promissory agreement, Raven Energy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is subject to a maximum leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending prior to August 12, 2018, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the promissory agreement. For any fiscal quarter ending on or after August 12, 2018, the maximum leverage ratio is 4.50:1.00. Additionally in order to make restricted payments, Raven Energy LLC is subject to a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.00:1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by fixed charges as defined by the promissory agreement.

If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the lenders' credit commitment could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the Revolving Facility, Partnership Revolver, Partnership Term Loan and Promissory Notes could be declared immediately due and payable. The Partnership has a cross-default provision that applies to our indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $20 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company and the Partnership were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the credit agreement and promissory agreement. 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	121.5		$	76.6
Net cash used in investing activities	(24.3		)	(22.5		)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(112.6		)	8.6
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(15.4	)	$	62.7

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $121.5 million compared to $76.6 million in the corresponding period of 2015. The increase in operating cash flow is primarily due to the contribution of CMT's net cash provided by operating activities of $24.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as well as the absence of $7.8 million of coal severance payments during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, the increase in operating cash flow reflects lower operating and maintenance spending and lower inventory levels at our Indiana Harbor facility.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $24.3 million increased $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding period of 2015. The increase is primarily due to the divestiture of the coal mining business, where the Company paid $12.1 million to Revelation. The increase was partially offset by the amendment to an agreement with The Cline Group, which unrestricted $6.0 million of previously restricted cash and relieved the Partnership of any obligation to repay these amounts to The Cline Group.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $112.6 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. In the first half of 2016, the Partnership repurchased $69.9 million face value of outstanding Partnership Notes for $46.4 million in the open market. The Partnership also repaid $0.6 million of face value on the Promissory Note and paid a quarterly cash distribution of $24.7 million to its public unitholders during the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition to the Partnership's cash used in financing activities, the Company paid down $40.4 million of the outstanding Revolving Facility during the second quarter of 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Partnership received gross proceeds of $210.8 million from the issuance of Partnership Notes. This cash inflow was partially offset by the repayment of $149.5 million of long-term debt and debt issuance costs of $4.8 million. Additionally, the Partnership paid $20.0 million to repurchase shares under the repurchase program and paid quarterly cash distributions of $18.7 million to its public unitholders, while the Company paid $8.8 million of dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

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, 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 and steam generators and to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing capital expenditures are 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 and 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;

• Environmental remediation project 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 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.

43

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

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Ongoing capital	$	12.0	$	14.3
Environmental remediation capital(1)	5.1		6.4
Expansion capital:
CMT(2)	10.7		—
Other capital expansion	2.4		1.8
Total capital expenditures	$	30.2	$	22.5

(1) Includes capitalized interest of $1.4 million and $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(2) Includes capital expenditures of $9.5 million for the ship loader expansion project funded with restricted cash withheld in conjunction with the acquisition of CMT and $1.2 million of capitalized interest in connection with this project.

In 2016, excluding capitalized interest and pre-funded capital projects at CMT, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $45 million, which is comprised of the following:

• Total ongoing capital expenditures of approximately $38 million, of which $12 million will be spent at the Partnership;

• Total capital expenditures on environmental remediation projects of approximately $5 million, all of which will be spent at the Partnership and was funded with a portion of the proceeds of the Partnership offering and subsequent asset dropdowns; and

• Total expansion capital of approximately $2 million.

In total, we anticipate spending approximately $130 million, excluding capitalized interest, on environmental remediation projects to enhance the environmental performance at our Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking operations. We have spent approximately $90 million related to these projects since 2012 and the remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first quarter of 2019. A portion of the proceeds from the Partnership's initial public offering and subsequent dropdowns are being used to fund $119 million of these environmental remediation projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the arrangements described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Other than additional disclosure on risk to our goodwill and other intangible assets in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Please refer to SunCoke Energy, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated February 18, 2016 for a summary of these policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this 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 and liquidity. 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, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted for impairments, coal rationalization costs, changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of CMT, and interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairments 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.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance and liquidity of the Company's net assets and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is additional discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

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 items such as depreciation and amortization;

• 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 attributable to noncontrolling interests.

45

We explain Adjusted EBITDA and reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities, which are its most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its closest GAAP measures:

(1) In response to the Securities & Exchange Commission’s May 2016 update of its guidance of the appropriate use of non-GAAP financial measures, first quarter of 2016 Adjusted EBITDA has been recast to no longer include Coal Logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue.

(2) Reflects share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization related to our equity method investment in VISA SunCoke.

(3) Coal rationalization costs (income) includes employee severance, contract termination costs and other costs to idle mines incurred during the execution of our coal rationalization plan. The six months ended June 30, 2015, included $2.2 million of income related to a severance accrual adjustment.

(4) The Partnership amended its contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group, which reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(5) Reflects the expiration of land deposits in connection with the Company's potential new cokemaking facility to be constructed in Kentucky.

(6) Reflects noncontrolling interest in Indiana Harbor and the portion of the Partnership owned by public unitholders

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, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2016. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Our 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 or submitted 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 June 30, 2016, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On August 12, 2015, the Partnership acquired Raven Energy LLC ("Raven") and considers the transaction material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial position from the date of the acquisition. In conducting our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have elected to exclude Raven from our evaluation in the year from acquisition as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are currently in the process of evaluating and integrating Raven’s controls over financial reporting. Raven represented $413.6 million of total assets and $14.7 million of total revenue in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Many legal and administrative proceedings are pending or may be brought against us arising out of our current and past operations, including matters related to commercial and tax disputes, product liability, employment claims, personal injury claims, premises-liability claims, allegations of exposures to toxic substances and general environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some of them could be resolved unfavorably to us. Our management believes that any liabilities that may arise from such matters would not be material in relation to our business or our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows at June 30, 2016.
