SUNCOKE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

• Net income attributable to SXCP was $13.7 million, or $0.43 per unit

• Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly to $35.7 million in third quarter 2013 compared to same prior year period, with the portion attributable to SXCP at $22.1 million

• Distributable cash flow in third quarter 2013 totaled $18.5 million, or $0.58 per unit, supporting an expected cash payout in November 2013 of approximately $13.9 million, or $0.4325 per unit, for a coverage ratio of 1.33x. The third quarter 2013 per unit cash distribution represents a 2.4 percent increase over the previous quarter’s per unit rate

• Expect to increase fourth quarter 2013 cash distribution per unit by 9.8 percent to $0.4750 per unit, which will be paid in February 2014

Lisle, IL (October 25, 2013) - SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) today reported third quarter 2013 net income attributable to SXCP of $13.7 million, or $0.43 per unit. Prior year net income of $17.4 million is not comparable as prior year results are before the initial public offering of a 65 percent interest in SunCoke Energy, Inc.’s (NYSE: SXC) Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities.

“Our commitment to creating value for unit holders is most directly demonstrated through increases to our cash distributions per unit,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SXCP. “Since our initial public offering in January of this year, we have increased our distributions per unit twice on the strength of our operating performance. In addition, we recently completed two coal logistics acquisitions that we expect will support future distribution growth. As a result, we intend to raise our fourth quarter 2013 distribution to $0.4750, nearly a 10 percent increase over third quarter and 15 percent increase over our minimum quarterly distribution.”

Consolidated Results	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)	2013		2012 (Predecessor)		Increase/ (Decrease)

Net Income attributable Predecessor/SXCP (2)		13.7		17.4		(3.7	)

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

(2) Prior year results not comparable as they include 100 percent of the operating results of SXC’s Haverhill and Middletown facilities, whereas subsequent to the closing of the initial public offering of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. on January 24, 2013, the current year includes 65 percent of their results.

1

Third quarter 2013 results are inclusive of one-month of performance at SXCP’s new Coal Logistics segment, which was formed upon the closing of the Lakeshore Coal Handling Corporation (Lake Terminal) acquisition on August 30, 2013.

Revenues were $162.0 million in third quarter 2013, a decline of $33.2 million from same prior year period due to the pass-through of lower coal prices and slightly lower coke sales volumes. Our Coal Logistics business handled 136 thousand tons of coal, generating $1.1 million of revenues in third quarter 2013.

Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were relatively flat in third quarter at $27.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA benefited from higher operating cost recovery at our Middletown facility and the new Coal Logistics segment, which added $0.7 million to Adjusted EBITDA and benefited from higher than expected volumes and lower operating costs at Lake Terminal. Partly offsetting this were higher corporate costs primarily related to acquisition expenses, including $1.8 million paid to DTE Energy Company in consideration for assigning its share of the Lake Terminal buy out rights to SXCP. The portion of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP was $22.1 million.

Third quarter 2013 net income attributable to SXCP of $13.7 million is not comparable to prior year net income as prior year includes 100 percent of the operating results of SXC’s Haverhill and Middletown facilities.

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

On October 22, 2013, the Board of Directors of SXCP’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4325 per limited partnership unit, an increase of 2.4 percent over the previous quarterly cash distribution rate of $0.4225. This cash distribution will be paid on November 29, 2013 to unit holders of record as of November 15, 2013.

OMNIBUS AGREEMENT WITH SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC.

Pursuant to our omnibus agreement with SXC, our general partner, we anticipate receiving make-whole payments from SXC as a result of temporarily trimming coke production at our Middletown facility to name plate capacity level in the second half 2013 due to our customer’s unplanned blast furnace outage in late June 2013. These make-whole payments will be remitted to us on a quarterly basis in second half 2013 based on actual production. In the third quarter 2013, this payment was $0.6 million and is recorded as a capital contribution. Also, in connection with this unplanned outage, we expect to provide our customer a temporary extension of payment terms on December 2013 coke production. Pursuant to our omnibus agreement, for the extended term receivables, SXC will remit to us the amounts due under normal contract terms and hold these receivables.

SUNCOKE ENERGY PARTNERS PREDECESSOR

Financial results for periods prior to the January 24, 2013 closing of SXCP’s initial public offering represent the financial results of SXCP’s predecessor, which was comprised of 100 percent of the cokemaking operations and related assets of SXC’s Haverhill and Middletown facilities. These financial results include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities attributed to the predecessor after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Upon the closing of the IPO, SXC contributed a 65 percent interest in the predecessor to SXCP. Our financial reporting reflects SXC’s 35 percent ownership interest in these facilities as a noncontrolling interest.

NOTICE

This statement is intended to serve as qualified notice to nominees as provided for under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b)(4) and (d) given by a publicly traded partnership for the nominee to be treated as a withholding agent. Please note that SXCP’s quarterly cash distributions are treated as partnership distributions for federal income tax purposes and that 100 percent of these distributions to foreign investors are attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, all of SXCP’s distributions to a nominee on behalf of foreign investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest marginal tax rate for individuals or corporations, as applicable. Nominees, and not SXCP, are treated as the withholding agents responsible for withholding on the distributions received by them on behalf of foreign investors.

This slide presentation should be reviewed in conjunction with the Third Quarter 2013 earnings releases of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (SXCP) and the conference call held on October 25, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Some of the information included in this presentation constitutes “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements in this presentation that express opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections with respect to anticipated future performance of SunCoke or the Partnership, in contrast with statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “should” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Although management believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are reasonable, no assurance can be given that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved when anticipated or at all. Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of these risks are beyond the control of SunCoke and the Partnership, and may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. Each of SunCoke and the Partnership has included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission cautionary language identifying important factors (but not necessarily all the important factors) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. For more information concerning these factors, see the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of SunCoke and the Partnership. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. Although forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date hereof.

APPENDIX

SXCP Q3 2013 Earnings Call

Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for sales discounts and the interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our equity method investment. EBITDA reflects sales discounts included as a reduction in sales and other operating revenue. The sales discounts represent the sharing with customers of a portion of nonconventional fuel tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since they represent sharing of a tax benefit that is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted EBITDA also includes EBITDA attributable to our equity method investment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures in other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the Company’s net assets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization.

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

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

Definitions

Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest expense, on-going capital expenditures, accruals for replacement capital expenditures, and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; plus amounts received under the Omnibus Agreement and acquisition expenses deemed to be Expansion Capital under our Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of the Partnership’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use to assess:

the Partnership’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis; the ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to the Partnership’s unitholders; the Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

The Partnership believes that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Distributable Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and used in investing activities.

Additionally, because Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the Partnership’s definition of Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Ongoing capital expenditures (“capex”) are capital expenditures made to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and/or to extend their useful lives. Ongoing capex also include new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capex does not include normal repairs and maintenance, which are expensed as incurred, or significant capital expenditures. For purposes of calculating distributable cash flow, the portion of ongoing capex attributable to SXCP is used.

Replacement capital expenditures (“capex”) represents an annual accrual necessary to fund SXCP’s share of the estimated costs to replace or rebuild our facilities at the end of their working lives. This accrual is estimated based on the average quarterly anticipated replacement capital that we expect to incur over the long term to replace our major capital assets at the end of their working lives. The replacement capex accrual estimate will be subject to review and prospective change by SXCP’s general partner at least annually and whenever an event occurs that causes a material adjustment of replacement capex, provided such change is approved by our conflicts committee.
