SUNCOKE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS AND

INCREASES CASH DISTRIBUTIONS PER UNIT

• Distributable cash flow of $29.3 million lead to increased cash distribution per unit of 5.7 percent to $0.5715 for first quarter payment

• Net income attributable to SXCP decreased $0.6 million to $12.6 million in first quarter 2015; strong operating results were offset by Granite City transaction and financing costs

• Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.6 million to $48.3 million in first quarter 2015, driven by improved coal-to-coke yields and higher sales volumes

Lisle, IL (April 23, 2015) - SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) today reported first quarter 2015 net income attributable to SXCP of $12.6 million, down slightly from the prior year period. Current period results reflect year over year improvement in coke operating performance, increased ownership interest in our Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities, as well as the impact of the January 2015 dropdown of a 75 percent interest in the Granite City cokemaking operation, offset by transaction and financing costs.

“SXCP has grown considerably versus first quarter of last year,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. “Our business has benefited from stronger operations as well as the acquisition of a 75 percent interest in the Granite City cokemaking operations and increased ownership interest in our Haverhill and Middletown facilities. This drove significant growth in distributable cash flow and supported strong and consistent increases to cash distributions per unit. Our current outlook is to exit 2015 with an annualized cash distribution per unit rate of $2.42, up 12 percent from our annualized per unit fourth quarter 2014 rate and 47 percent higher than our minimum distribution.”

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

(3) Net income attributable to SXCP includes the impact of SXCP’s 75 percent ownership in Granite City since

January 14, 2015.

Revenues were $203.3 million in first quarter 2015, a decline of $11.2 million from same prior year period primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal costs in our Domestic Coke segment and lower volumes in our Coal Logistics segment.

1

Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA rose $4.5 million and $6.6 million in first quarter 2015 to $33.7 million and $48.3 million, respectively, driven by higher sales volumes and improved coal-to-coke yields in our cokemaking operations.

First quarter 2015 net income attributable to SXCP was $12.6 million versus prior year net income attributable to SXCP of $13.2 million. This decrease was primarily driven by transaction costs offset by the contribution of Granite City in 2015 and improved results as previously discussed.

FIRST QUARTER SEGMENT INFORMATION

Domestic Coke

Domestic Coke segment consists of our interest in the Haverhill, Middletown and Granite City cokemaking facilities, located in Franklin Furnace and Middletown, Ohio; and Granite City, Illinois, respectively.

Domestic Coke Results	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2015		2014		Increase/ (Decrease)
Revenues	$	193.0	$	203.0	$	(10	)

Sales Volume (thousands of tons)		577		566		11
Adjusted EBITDA per ton(1)	$	84.06	$	72.44	$	11.62

(1) See definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per ton and reconciliation elsewhere in this release.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is reported on a 100 percent ownership basis, rose $7.5 million to $48.5 million in first quarter 2015 due to higher sales volumes and improved coal-to-coke yields.

Coal Logistics

The Coal Logistics segment consists of our coal handling and blending operation at Lake Terminal in East Chicago, IN, and Kanawha River Terminals, LLC, which has terminals along the Ohio, Big Sandy and Kanawha rivers in West Virginia and Kentucky.

Coal Logistics Results	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2014		2015		Increase/ (Decrease)
Revenues	$	10.3	$	11.5	$	(1.2	)
Adjusted EBITDA(1)		2.6		2.1		0.5

Adjusted EBITDA per ton(1)	$	0.69	$	0.48	$	0.21

(1) See definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per ton and reconciliation elsewhere in this release.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.5 million due to higher margins caused by a shift in sales mix, partly offset by lower volume.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other costs increased $1.4 million to $2.8 million in first quarter 2015. The increase was mainly attributable to $0.9 million of dropdown related transaction costs incurred in 2015.

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

On April 20, 2015, the Board of Directors of SXCP’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5715 per unit, up 5.7 percent versus the previous quarterly rate. This distribution will be paid on May 29, 2015 to unitholders of record on May 15, 2015.

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 SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.’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 SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.’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 SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P., are treated as the withholding agents responsible for withholding on the distributions received by them on behalf of foreign investors.

DEFINITIONS

• Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Prior to the expiration of our nonconventional fuel tax credits in 2013, Adjusted EBITDA included an add-back of sales discounts related to the sharing of these credits with our customers. Any adjustments to these amounts subsequent to 2013 have been included in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income under generally accepted auditing principles (“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 Partnership’s net assets and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

3

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

• Adjusted EBITDA per ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold/handled.

• Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest expense, ongoing 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 SXCP’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use to assess:

• SXCP’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis;

• the ability of SXCP’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to SXCP’s unitholders;

• SXCP’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.

We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing SXCP’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 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, our definition of Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its 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 includes 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.

The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. SXCP does not intend, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter its forward-looking statements (or associated cautionary language), whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this press release except as required by applicable law.

SXCP 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 made by SXCP.

Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this release also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

FACTORS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY

On January 13, 2015, we acquired a 75 percent interest in the Granite City cokemaking operation from SXC. Because this was a transfer between entities under common control, all historical financial results of Granite City prior to the dropdown have been included in our financial results. Net income attributable to SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P./Predecessor includes 100% of Granite City net income prior to dropdown and 75% after the dropdown. Net income attributable to Predecessor includes 100% of Granite City net income prior to the dropdown on January 13, 2015.

SXCP Q1 2015 Earnings Call

Basis of Presentation & Definitions

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

“ On January 13, 2015, SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. acquired a 75 percent interest in the Granite City cokemaking facility from SunCoke. Because this was a transfer between entities under common control, all historical financial results of Granite City prior to the dropdown are included in our financial results and presented on an “Attributable to Predecessor” basis. Prior year information has been recast to reflect this required accounting treatment.

DEFINITIONS

“ Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Prior to the expiration of our nonconventional fuel tax credits in 2013, Adjusted EBITDA included an add-back of sales discounts related to the sharing of these credits with customers. Any adjustments to these amounts subsequent to 2013 have been included in Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under generally acceptable accounting principles (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 Partnership’s net assets and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures and because it eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

“ EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation 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/handled.

SXCP Q1 2015 Earnings Call

17

Basis of Presentation & Definitions

“ Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest expense, ongoing 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 SXCP financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use

to assess:

“ SXCP’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis;

“ the ability of SXCP’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to SXCP’s unitholders;

“ SXCP’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.

We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing SXCP’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 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,

our 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 includes 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.

SUNCOKE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. INCREASES QUARTERLY CASH DISTRIBUTION NEARLY 6 PERCENT

LISLE, Ill. (April 20, 2015) – The SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) Board of Directors today declared a first quarter 2015 cash distribution of $0.5715 per limited partnership unit payable on May 29, 2015, to unitholders of record on May 15, 2015. The distribution is approximately 6 percent higher than SXCP’s fourth quarter 2014 cash distribution and represents the eighth consecutive quarterly increase. On an annualized basis, the first quarter rate amounts to $2.286 per unit, an increase of 39 percent relative to the $1.65 rate established when SXCP went public in January 2013.

“We started the year projecting a 2 percent increase in cash distributions per unit in each quarter in 2015 and today’s 6 percent increase reflects our confidence in our business model and financial performance,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. “Since our IPO in January 2013, we have posted consistently solid operating results underpinned by secure, long-term contracts with minimal commodity risk. Given the seasoning of our master limited partnership and track record of performance and distribution growth, we’ve adjusted our targeted cash distribution coverage from 1.15 to 1.10, a level we believe is prudent given our business model and support from our sponsor. On this basis, we expect the annualized distribution rate to improve by $0.08 per unit and we plan to exit 2015 with an annualized distribution rate of $2.42. These increases are supported by the performance of our existing assets and could potentially grow further from future dropdowns and third-party M&A.”

UPCOMING EVENTS

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. plans to issue first quarter 2015 earnings before market opens and host an investor conference call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (9:00 a.m. Central Time) on Thursday, April 23, 2015. This conference call will be webcast live and archived for replay in the Investor Relations section of www.sxcpartners.com. Investors may participate on this call by dialing 1-800-446-2782 in the U.S. or 1-847-413-3235 if outside the U.S.; confirmation code 39310600.

We plan to participate in the following conferences:

• Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.’s Industrials and Basic Materials Summit, May 8, in New York City

• 2015 MLP Investor Conference held by the National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships (NAPTP), May 21-22, in Orlando, Fla.
