SUNCOKE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
| • | Net income attributable to SXCP increased $1.8 million to $21.3 million |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP, which excludes $8.8 million of coal logistics deferred revenue, was $44.8 million, which is in line with expectations, but down $4.0 million versus the prior year period |
| • | Strong Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Cash Coverage Ratio of $35.5 million and 1.20x, respectively |
| • | Declared quarterly distribution of $0.5940 per unit; reduced debt outstanding by $4 million in the quarter |
| • | Reaffirm full-year outlook for 2016 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP of $207 million to $217 million |
Lisle, Ill. (October 20, 2016) - SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) today reported results for the third quarter 2016, which reflect the impact of scheduled outages and lower sales volumes, partially offset by the absence of deal costs, which were incurred in the prior year period.
“We continue to perform in line with expectations and remain on track to deliver against our 2016 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $207 million to $217 million underpinned by our strong cokemaking performance,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.
During the quarter, both major Convent Marine Terminal (“CMT”) customers reached resolution with their respective lending groups. In addition, as announced earlier this week, Convent is expanding into a new line of business by piloting domestic-facing thermal coal volumes through the terminal on a merchant basis.
Henderson continued, “We applaud the milestones our CMT customers reached with their lenders and are working side-by-side with them to maximize the value our terminal can bring to their operations. We are also quite pleased about the domestic thermal coal pilot we announced earlier this week and look forward to proving out our domestic-facing capability with the goal of securing additional merchant volumes.”

Revenues were $185.5 million in third quarter 2016, a decline of $24.7 million from the same prior year period. The decline was primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal costs and lower sales volumes.
Net income attributable to SXCP was $21.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to fair value adjustments to our contingent consideration obligation, mostly offset by the items discussed below.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.0 million primarily due the impact of scheduled outages in the current year period as well as lower sales volumes in both our cokemaking and logistics operations. As a reminder, Adjusted EBITDA results exclude coal logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue, which is at the end of the annual contract period, or typically in the fourth quarter of each year.
THIRD QUARTER SEGMENT INFORMATION
Domestic Coke
Domestic Coke consists of cokemaking facilities and heat recovery operations at our Haverhill, Middletown and Granite City cokemaking facilities, located in Franklin Furnace and Middletown, Ohio, and Granite City, Illinois, respectively.

| • | Revenues were affected by the pass-through of lower coal prices and a decrease in sales volume of 20 thousand tons due partially to the customer volume accommodations at Haverhill. The impact of customer volume accommodations on Adjusted EBITDA was mitigated by make-whole payments from AK Steel. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.7 million to $42.9 million in third quarter 2016, primarily due lower energy sales related to scheduled outages as well as the timing of sales volumes. |

Coal Logistics
Coal Logistics consists of the coal handling and mixing services operated by SXCP at CMT located on the Mississippi river in Louisiana, Lake Terminal in East Chicago, Indiana, and Kanawha River Terminals, LLC (“KRT”), which has terminals along the Ohio and Kanawha rivers in West Virginia. The current and prior year periods are not comparable due to the contribution of CMT, which was acquired on August 12, 2015.

| • | Revenues were down $3.1 million, driven by lower volumes at KRT and Lake Terminal, partly offset by a full quarter of CMT results, which contributed $1.3 million in additional revenues as compared to the prior year period. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA was down $2.3 million, driven by lower sales volumes discussed above. Despite a full quarter of operations, Adjusted EBITDA contributed by CMT was flat as compared to the prior year, driven by a full quarter of operating costs on only slightly higher volumes. As a reminder, Adjusted EBITDA results exclude coal logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue, which is at the end of the annual contract period, or typically in the fourth quarter of each year. |
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other costs decreased $1.0 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $5.2 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to acquisition and business development costs incurred in the prior year period, partially offset by current period mark-to-market adjustments in deferred compensation caused by increases in the Partnership’s unit price and higher legal expense.

DEFINITIONS
| • | Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for Coal Logistics changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of the CMT and the expiration of certain acquired contractual obligations. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative 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 Partnership’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 an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP equals Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. |
| • | Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA plus sponsor support and Coal Logistics deferred revenue; 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 and includes capital expenditures included in working capital at the end of the period. |
| • | 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. |

| (1) | Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, in response to the Securities & Exchange Commission’s May 2016 update to its guidance on the appropriate use of non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA no longer includes Coal Logistics deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue. |
| (2) | The Partnership amended the contingent consideration terms with The Cline Group during the first quarter of 2016. These amendments and subsequent fair value adjustments resulted in gains of $4.6 million and $8.3 million recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. |
| (3) | In association with the acquisition of CMT, we assumed certain performance obligations under existing contracts and recorded liabilities related to such obligations. In third quarter of 2016, the final contractual performance period expired, without the customer requiring performance. As such, we reversed the liability in the period as we no longer have any obligations under the contract. |

| (3) | Reflects net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for noncontrolling interest’s share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. |
| (4) | Coal Logistics deferred revenue adjusts for coal and liquid tons the Partnership did not handle, but are included in Distributable Cash Flow as the associated take-or-pay fees are billed to the customer. Deferred revenue on take-or-pay contracts is recognized into GAAP income annually based on the terms of the contract, at which time it will be excluded from Distributable Cash Flow. |
| (5) | Distribution cash coverage ratio is distributable cash flow divided by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners. |
