Notes to the Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General

Description of Business

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P., (the "Partnership", "we", "our", and "us"), is a Delaware limited partnership formed inJuly 2012, which primarily produces coke used in the blast furnace production of steel. At June 30, 2016, we owned a 98 percentinterest in Haverhill Coke Company LLC ("Haverhill"), Middletown Coke Company, LLC ("Middletown") and Gateway Energy and Coke Company, LLC ("Granite City"). The remaining 2 percent ownership interest in our three cokemaking facilities was owned by SunCoke Energy, Inc. ("SunCoke"). We also own a Coal Logistics business, which provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities and other SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Our Coal Logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT") and SunCoke Lake Terminal, LLC ("Lake Terminal"). At June 30, 2016, SunCoke, through a subsidiary, owned a 53.9 percent limited partnership interest in us and indirectly owned and controlled our general partner, which holds a 2.0 percent general partner interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights ("IDR").

Incorporated in Delaware in 2012 and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, we became a publicly-traded partnership in 2013 and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SXCP.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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 for the full year. These unaudited interim combined and consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The combined and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented pertain to the operations of the Partnership and give retrospective effect to include the results of operations and cash flows of Granite City (the "Previous Owner"), as a result of the January 2015 dropdown of a 75 percent interest in Granite City ("Granite City Dropdown").

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 Partnership is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and 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),” 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 Partnership is currently evaluating the new standard to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Reclassifications

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

2. Related Party Transactions and Agreements

The related party transactions with SunCoke and its affiliates are described below.

Transactions with Affiliate

Our Coal Logistics business provides coal handling and mixing services to certain SunCoke cokemaking operations. Coal Logistics recorded revenues derived from services provided to SunCoke’s cokemaking operations of $2.7 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $3.3 million and $6.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Additionally, Domestic Coke purchased $0.8 million of pad coal from SunCoke's cokemaking operations during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Partnership also purchased coal and other services from SunCoke and its affiliates totaling $0.8 million and $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. At June 30, 2016, net payables to SunCoke and affiliates were $9.4 million, which were recorded in payable to affiliates, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our Coal Logistics business also 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 for $5.4 million, or 2.9 percent, and $10.5 million or 2.8 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 is 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 7. 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. SeeNote 10.

Also as part of the CMT acquisition, the Partnership withheld $21.5 million in 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.

Allocated Expenses

SunCoke charges us for all direct costs and expenses incurred on our behalf and allocated costs associated with support services provided to our operations. Allocated expenses from SunCoke for general corporate and operations support costs totaled $6.9 million and $13.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $6.7 million and $13.2 million during three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs include legal, accounting, tax, treasury, engineering, information technology, insurance, employee benefit costs, communications, human resources, and procurement. Corporate allocations are recorded in accordance with the terms of our omnibus agreement with SunCoke and our general partner. These allocations were increased in the first quarter of 2016 for additional support provided to the CMT operations.

In the first half of 2016, SunCoke took certain actions to support the Partnership's strategy to de-lever its balance sheet and maintain a solid liquidity position. During the first quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided a "reimbursement holiday" on the $7.0 millionof corporate costs allocated to the Partnership and also returned its $1.4 million IDR cash distribution to the Partnership ("IDR giveback"), resulting in capital contributions of $8.4 million. During the second quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided the Partnership with deferred payment terms until April 2017 on the reimbursement of the $6.9 million of allocated corporate costs to the Partnership and the $1.4 million IDR cash distribution, resulting in an outstanding payable to SunCoke of $8.3 millionincluded in payable to affiliate, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016.

Omnibus Agreement

In connection with the closing of our initial public offering on January 24, 2013 ("IPO"), we entered into an omnibus agreement with SunCoke and our general partner that addresses certain aspects of our relationship with them, including:

Business Opportunities. We have preferential rights to invest in, acquire and construct cokemaking facilities in the United States and Canada. SunCoke has preferential rights to all other business opportunities.

Potential Defaults by Coke Agreement Counterparties. For a period of five years from the closing date of the IPO, SunCoke has agreed to make us whole (including an obligation to pay for coke) to the extent (i) AK Steel exercises the early termination right provided in its Haverhill coke sales agreement, (ii) any customer fails to purchase coke or defaults in payment under its coke sales agreement (other than by reason of force majeure or our default) or (iii) we amend a coke sales agreement's terms to reduce a customer's purchase obligation as a result of the customer's financial distress. We and SunCoke will share in any damages and other amounts recovered from third-parties arising from such events in proportion to our relative losses.

Environmental Indemnity. SunCoke will indemnify us to the full extent of any remediation losses at the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities arising from any environmental matter discovered and identified as requiring remediation prior to the closing of the IPO. In addition, SunCoke will indemnify us for remediation losses at the Granite City cokemaking facility arising from any environmental matter discovered and identified as requiring remediation prior to the closing of the initial Granite City Dropdown. SunCoke contributed $67.0 million in partial satisfaction of this obligation from the proceeds of the IPO, and an additional $52.0 million in connection with subsequent dropdowns. If, prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, a pre-existing environmental matter is identified as requiring remediation, SunCoke will indemnify us for up to $50.0 million of any such remediation costs (we will bear the first $5.0 million of any such costs).

Other Indemnification. SunCoke will fully indemnify us with respect to any additional tax liability related to periods prior to or in connection with the closing of the IPO or the Granite City Dropdown to the extent not currently presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, SunCoke will either cure or fully indemnify us for losses resulting from any material title defects at the properties owned by the entities acquired in connection with the closing of the IPO or the Granite City Dropdown to the extent that those defects interfere with or could reasonably be expected to interfere with the operations of the related cokemaking facilities. We will indemnify SunCoke for events relating to our operations except to the extent that we are entitled to indemnification by SunCoke.

License. SunCoke has granted us a royalty-free license to use the name “SunCoke” and related marks. Additionally, SunCoke has granted us a non-exclusive right to use all of SunCoke's current and future cokemaking and related technology. We have not paid and will not pay a separate license fee for the rights we receive under the license.

Expenses and Reimbursement. SunCoke will continue to provide us with certain corporate and other services, and we will reimburse SunCoke for all direct costs and expenses incurred on our behalf and a portion of corporate and other costs and expenses attributable to our operations. SunCoke may consider providing additional support to the Partnership in the future by providing a corporate cost reimbursement holiday, whereby the Partnership would not be required to reimburse SunCoke for costs or a deferral, whereby the Partnership would be granted extended payment terms. Additionally, we have agreed to pay all fees in connection with any future financing arrangement entered into for the purpose of replacing the credit facility or the senior notes.

So long as SunCoke controls our general partner, the omnibus agreement will remain in full force and effect unless mutually terminated by the parties. If SunCoke ceases to control our general partner, the omnibus agreement will terminate, but our rights to indemnification and use of SunCoke's existing cokemaking and related technology will survive. The omnibus agreement can be amended by written agreement of all parties to the agreement, but we may not agree to any amendment that would, in the reasonable discretion of our general partner, be adverse in any material respect to the holders of our common units without prior approval of the conflicts committee.

3. Cash Distributions and Net Income Per Unit

Cash Distributions

Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make cash distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:

• first, 98 percent to the holders of common units and 2 percent to our general partner, until each common unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.412500 plus any arrearages from prior quarters;

• second,98 percent to the holders of subordinated units and 2 percent to our general partner, until each subordinated unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.412500; and

• third,98 percent to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2 percent to our general partner, until each unit has received a distribution of $0.474375.

If cash distributions to our unitholders exceed $0.474375 per unit in any quarter, our unitholders and our general partner will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:

	Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit Target Amount		Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
			Unitholders	General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$0.412500		98%	2%

For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100 percent to the general partner. Net income from Granite City’s operations prior to the Granite City Dropdown is allocated to the general partner.

Upon payment of the cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2015, the financial requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied. As a result, the 15,709,697 subordinated units converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. For purpose of calculating net income per unit, the conversion of the subordinated units is deemed to have occurred

on January 1, 2016. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership's outstanding units representing limited partner interest.

The calculation of net income allocated to the general and limited partners was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Net income attributable to SunCoke Energy L.P./Previous Owner	$	12.1		$	17.0		$	51.9		$	30.2

Less: Allocation of net income attributable to the Previous Owner to the general partner	—			—			—			0.6
Net income attributable to all partners	12.1			17.0			58.9			29.6
General partner's incentive distribution rights	1.4			1.1			10.8			2.0
Net income attributable to partners, excluding incentive distribution rights	10.7			15.9			48.1			27.6

Expenses allocated to Common - SunCoke(1)	—			—			(7.0		)	—
Total common - SunCoke interest in net income	5.8			2.7			19.0			4.6
Subordinated - SunCoke interest in net income	—			6.2			—			10.8
Total limited partners' interest in net income	$	10.4		$	15.6		$	40.1		$	27.0

(1)Per the amended Partnership agreement, expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership are to be allocated entirely to the partner who paid them. During the first quarter of 2016, SunCoke paid $7.0 million of allocated corporate costs on behalf of the Partnership and will not seek reimbursement for those costs. See Note 2. These expenses are recorded as a direct reduction to SunCoke's interest in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Earnings Per Unit

Our net income is allocated to the general partner and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distributions, if any, to our general partner, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Distributions less than or greater than earnings are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, we also have identified the general partner interest and IDRs as participating securities and we use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding. In 2015, the Partnership early adopted ASU 2015-06, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)." Therefore, the Granite City Dropdown does not impact historical earnings per unit as the earnings of Granite City prior to the Granite City Dropdown were allocated entirely to our general partner.

The components of inventories were as follows:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Coal	$	39.4	$	42.5
Coke	4.6		5.6
Materials, supplies, and other	28.8		29.0
Total inventories	$	72.8	$	77.1

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill allocated to the Partnership'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:

	Coal Logistics
	(Dollars in millions)
Net balance at December 31, 2015	$	67.7
Adjustments(1)	(0.6		)
Net balance at June 30, 2016	$	67.1

(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 our 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 our Coal Logistics business may be affected.

A significant portion of our 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, our 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.

The components of intangible assets were as follows:

		June 30, 2016						December 31, 2015
	Weighted - Average Remaining Amortization Years	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net
		(Dollars in millions)
Customer contracts	6	$	24.0	$	2.8	$	21.2	$	24.0	$	1.2	$	22.8
Customer relationships	14	28.7		2.9		25.8		28.7		1.8		26.9
Permits	26	139.0		4.5		134.5		139.0		1.9		137.1
Trade name	2	1.2		0.7		0.5		1.2		0.6		0.6
Total		$	192.9	$	10.9	$	182.0	$	192.9	$	5.5	$	187.4

Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $2.8 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 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 estimate amortization expense for each of the next five years as follows:

	Amount
	(Dollars in millions)
2016(1)	$	5.1
2017	10.5
2018	10.5
2019	10.3
2020	10.3
2021-Thereafter	135.3
Total	$	182.0

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

6. Income Taxes

The Partnership is a limited partnership and generally is not subject to federal income taxes. However, as part of the Granite City Dropdown in the first quarter of 2015, the Partnership acquired an interest in Gateway Cogeneration Company, LLC, which is subject to income taxes for federal and state purposes. Additionally, as a result of the Granite City Dropdown, the Partnership is subject to state income tax. Earnings from our Middletown operations are subject to a local income tax.

The Partnership recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to an income tax expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and an income tax benefit of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The six months ended June 30, 2015 included an income tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the tax impacts of the Granite City Dropdown. Earnings from our Granite City operations include federal and state income taxes calculated on a theoretical separate-return basis until the date of the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015.

Total long-term debt	$	824.1		$	894.5

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 the write-off of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of unamortized original issue premium, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

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 Partnership is subject to certain debt covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of 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 governing the Partnership's debt.

Under the terms of the Partnership Revolver, the Partnership is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Partnership Revolver, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Partnership Revolver.

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 Partnership Revolver 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 Partnership was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the Partnership Revolver 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.

8. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Significant non-cash activities were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Debt assumed by SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.	$	—	$	135.0
Net assets of the Previous Owner not assumed by SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.
Receivables	—		9.1
Property, plants and equipment	—		7.0
Deferred income taxes, net	—		62.8

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has issued Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) for the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities which stem from alleged violations of air 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 degree in federal district court with these parties. The consent decree includes a $2.2 million civil penalty payment that was paid by SunCoke 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 cokemaking facilities.

We retained an aggregate of $119 million in proceeds from the IPO, the dropdown of Haverhill and Middletown and the Granite City Dropdown to fund these environmental remediation projects at the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, any amounts that we spend on these projects in excess of the $119 million will be reimbursed by SunCoke. Prior to our formation, SunCoke spent $7 millionrelated to these projects.We have spent approximately$83 millionto date and the remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first quarter of2019.

The Partnership 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 Partnership. Management of the Partnership believes that any liability which may arise from claims would not have a material adverse impact on our combined and consolidated financial statements.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership 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 to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

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

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

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

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

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

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Partnership’s cash equivalents are 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. The Partnership had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2016.

Convent Marine Terminal Contingent Consideration

In connection with the CMT acquisition, the Partnership entered into a contingent consideration arrangement that requires us 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 at March 31, 2016, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recognized as a reduction to costs of products sold and operating expenses on the Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income 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 estimated fair value of the Partnership's total debt was $748.9 million compared to a carrying amount of $828.3 million. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions which are considered Level 2 inputs.

11. Business Segment Disclosures

The Partnership derives its revenues from the Domestic Coke and Coal Logistics reportable segments. Domestic Coke operations are comprised of the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities located in Ohio and the Granite City cokemaking facility located in Illinois. These facilities use similar production processes to produce coke and to recover waste heat that is converted to steam or electricity. 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 the Partnership's 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 contain 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 expenses, 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.

Coal Logistics operations are comprised of CMT located in Louisiana, Lake Terminal located in Indiana and KRT located in West Virginia. 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.

Corporate and other expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other. Interest expense, net and (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt are also excluded from segment results. Segment assets are those assets that are utilized within a specific segment.

The Partnership evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, whichrepresents 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. 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. 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 requirements for, working capital needs;

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

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

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

• includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

(1) In response to the SEC’s May 2016 update to its guidance on 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) 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 milliongain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Reflects net income attributable to our Granite City facility prior to the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015 adjusted for Granite City's share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.

(4) Reflects net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for noncontrolling interest's share of interest, taxes, income, and depreciation and amortization.

12. Subsequent Events

In July of 2016, the Partnership entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement of certain integral equipment from the Domestic Coke segment and certain mobile equipment from the Coal Logistics segment for total proceeds of $16.2 million. The arrangement will be accounted for as a financing transaction.

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 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.

These statements reflect significant assumptions and allocations and include all expenses allocable to our business, but may not be indicative of those that would have been achieved had we operated as a separate public entity for all periods presented or of future results.

Overview

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P., (the "Partnership", "we", "our", and "us"), is a Delaware limited partnership formed inJuly 2012, which primarily produces coke used in the blast furnace production of steel. At June 30, 2016, we owned a 98 percentinterest in Haverhill Coke Company LLC ("Haverhill"), Middletown Coke Company, LLC ("Middletown") and Gateway Energy and Coke Company, LLC ("Granite City"). The remaining 2 percent ownership interest in our three cokemaking facilities was owned by SunCoke Energy, Inc. ("SunCoke"). We also own a Coal Logistics business, which provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities and other SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Our Coal Logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT") and SunCoke Lake Terminal, LLC ("Lake Terminal"). At June 30, 2016, SunCoke, through a subsidiary, owned a 53.9 percent limited partnership interest in us and indirectly owned and controlled our general partner, which holds a 2.0 percent general partner interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights ("IDR").

Our cokemaking ovens utilize efficient, modern heat recovery technology designed to combust the coal’s volatile components liberated during the cokemaking process and use the resulting heat to create steam or electricity for sale. This differs from by-product cokemaking, which re-purposes the coal’s liberated volatile components for other uses. We have constructed the only greenfield cokemaking facilities in the U.S. in the last 25 years and are the only North American coke producer that utilizes heat recovery technology in the cokemaking process. We believe that heat recovery technology has several advantages over the alternative by-product cokemaking process, including producing higher quality coke, using waste heat to generate steam or electricity for sale and reducing the environmental impact.

All of our coke sales are made pursuant to long-term, take-or-pay agreements. These coke sales agreements have an average remaining term of approximately nine years and contain pass-through provisions for costs we incur in the cokemaking process, including coal procurement 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. For a five-year period following our initial public offering on January 24, 2013 ("IPO"), SunCoke has agreed to make us whole or purchase all of our coke production not taken by our customers in the event of a customer's default or exercise of certain termination rights, under the same terms as those provided for in the coke sales agreements with our customers.

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

19

("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, steam and energy sales agreements:

Facility	Location	Coke Customer	Year of Start Up	Contract Expiration	Number of Coke Ovens	Annual Cokemaking Capacity (thousands of tons)	Use of Waste Heat
Granite City	Granite City, Illinois	U.S. Steel	2009	2025	120	650	Steam for power generation
Haverhill 1	Franklin Furnace, Ohio	ArcelorMittal	2005	2020	100	550	Process steam
Haverhill 2	Franklin Furnace, Ohio	AK Steel	2008	2022	100	550	Power generation
Middletown(1)	Middletown, Ohio	AK Steel	2011	2032	100	550	Power generation
Total					420	2,300

(1) Cokemaking capacity represents stated capacity for the 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.

We also provide coal handling and/or mixing services with our Coal Logistics business, which 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. 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 its 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 handling services to steel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility and coal producing customers.

The financial performance of our 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. Our 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 our customers' decisions to place tons into the export market and thus impact transloading volumes through our terminal facility.

Both the thermal and metallurgical coal markets remain challenged. Several U.S. coal producers, including certain of our 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 our Coal Logistics business may be affected.

A significant portion of our 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

20

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 our major coal handling agreements would be assumed or rejected in a potential bankruptcy process involving any of our customers, the loss of any of these customers could have a significant and adverse effect on our Coal Logistics business, results of operations and financial condition, and our ability to make cash distributions.

Organized in Delaware in July 2012, and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, we are a master limited partnership whose common units, representing limited partnership interests, were first listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in January 2013 under the symbol “SXCP.”

Recent Developments

•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 has provided us with make-whole payments. As such, we do not expect this arrangement to impact Adjusted EBITDA targets.

Second Quarter Key Financial Results

• Total revenues decreased$26.2 million, or 12.6 percent, to $181.4 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 income attributable to unitholders decreased$4.9 million to $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to lower Coal Logistics sales volumes and the write-off of a $1.4 million receivable related to 2015 spot coke sales to Essar Algoma, partially offset by a $3.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

• Cash distributions paid per unit were $0.5940 and $0.5715 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

• Adjusted EBITDA decreased$3.0 million to $41.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $44.7 million for the same period in 2015 due to lower Coal Logistics sales volumes and the $1.4 million write-off discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by contributions from CMT, which increased Adjusted EBITDA by $4.2 million.

Items Impacting Comparability

• Convent Marine Terminal. Comparability between periods was impacted by the timing of the acquisition of CMT during the third quarter of 2015. 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 during three and six months ended June 30, 2016, 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 Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

• Energy sales. Until the second quarter of 2015, Haverhill 1 sold steam to 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 Partnership 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 during three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of 2015 as a result of these arrangements.

21

• (Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in connection with the repurchase of Partnership Notes. See Note 7 to our combined and consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the dropdown of Granite City during the first quarter of 2015 ("Granite City Dropdown"), the Partnership assumed and repaid $135.0 million of SunCoke's outstanding notes. As a result of the redemption, a $9.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

• Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the income tax benefit of $2.9 million in the same prior year period. The periods presented are not comparable, as earnings from the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes an income tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the tax impacts of the Granite City Dropdown.

Revenues. Total revenues were $181.4 million and $207.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $375.9 million and $410.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  These decreases were primarily due to the pass-through of lower coal prices in our Domestic Coke segment and lower sales volumes in both our Domestic Coke and Coal Logistics segments. These decreases were partially offset by additional revenues generated by our CMT business.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $160.2 million and $178.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $321.5 million and $347.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced coal prices and lower volumes, partially offset by CMT costs and operating expenses previously discussed in "Items Impacting Comparability."

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net was $11.7 million and $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $24.2 million and $22.0 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 repurchase of $117.4 million of our senior notes since the fourth quarter of 2015.

22

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $0.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Comparability between periods was impacted by the Granite City Dropdown previously discussed in "Items Impacting Comparability."

Noncontrolling Interest. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents SunCoke's retained ownership interest in our cokemaking facilities. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and was $1.2 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to SunCoke's decrease in ownership interest in Granite City from a 25 percent interest to a 2 percent interest in August of 2015.

Net Income Attributable to Previous Owner. Net income attributable to previous owner reflects Granite City net income for periods prior to the Granite City dropdown that occurred in January 2015.

Results of Reportable Business Segments

We report our business results through two segments:

• Domestic Coke consists of our Haverhill, Middletown and Granite City cokemaking and heat recovery operations located in Franklin Furnace, Ohio; Middletown, Ohio; and Granite City, Illinois, respectively.

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

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and liquidity and it 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$28.2 million, or 14.4 percent, to $167.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $195.7 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales volumes of 54 thousand tons, which decreased revenues by $14.1 million, primarily related to lower sales volumes to AK Steel, for which AK Steel provided make-whole payments as previously discussed in "Recent Developments."The remaining decrease of $14.1 million primarily relates to the pass-through of lower coal prices.

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA decreased$1.1 million, or 2.6 percent, to $41.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $42.2 million in the corresponding period of 2015 primarily due to the $1.4 million complete write-off of a receivable related to 2015 spot coke sales to Essar Algoma.

Depreciation expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and was reasonably consistent with the prior year period.

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue were $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $13.5 million for the corresponding period of 2015. This increase was due to 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 was $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.0 million in the prior year period. 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 $7.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 million during the same prior year period, 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 $0.05 per common unit, during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses increased$2.2 million to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $2.5 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to higher spending on professional services and a higher allocation of costs from SunCoke.

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$42.3 million, or 10.9 percent, to $346.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $388.7 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the pass-through of lower coal prices, which decreased revenues $29.5 million. The remaining decrease of $12.8 million, was mostly the result of lower sales volumes of 51 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."

24

Adjusted EBITDA

Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA decreased$3.3 million, or 3.6 percent, to $87.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $90.7 million in the corresponding period of 2015. The absence of energy sales to Haverhill Chemicals and the receivables write-off previously discussed decreased Adjusted EBITDA $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These decreases were offset by increases of $0.7 million driven by lower operating and maintenance spending.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and was reasonably consistent with the prior year period.

Coal Logistics

Sales and Other Operating Revenue

Inclusive of intersegment sales, sales and other operating revenue were $32.7 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 was $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.6 million in the prior year period. 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.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which was not included in segment profitability, was $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $3.7 million during the same prior year period, primarily due to $7.2 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 $0.05 per common unit, during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses increased$3.4 million to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.3 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to higher spending on professional services and a higher allocation of costs from SunCoke.

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, maintain cash reserves, and pay distributions. 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 are actively seeking to retire or repurchase a portion of 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 $54.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $66.5 million of borrowing availability under the Partnership Revolver.

On July 25, 2016, our 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 Board of Director's decision to hold the quarterly distribution flat at $0.5940 per unit is part of our capital allocation strategy to utilize excess cash flow towards repurchasing our 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, SunCoke took certain actions to support the Partnership's strategy to de-lever its balance sheet and maintain a solid liquidity position. During the first quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided a "reimbursement holiday" on the $7.0 millionof corporate costs allocated to the Partnership and also returned its $1.4 million IDR cash distribution to the Partnership ("IDR giveback"), resulting in capital contributions of $8.4 million. During the second quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided the Partnership with deferred payment terms until April 2017 on the reimbursement of the $6.9 million of allocated corporate costs to the Partnership and the $1.4 million IDR cash distribution, resulting in an outstanding payable to SunCoke of $8.3 millionincluded in payable to affiliate, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016. SunCoke will not provide sponsor support in the third quarter of 2016.

25

The Partnership, aided by sponsor support from SunCoke, repurchased$69.9 million face value of outstanding Partnership Notes for $46.4 million of cash payments in the open market 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.

The Partnership is subject to certain debt covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of 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 governing the Partnership's debt.

Under the terms of the Partnership Revolver, the Partnership is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Partnership Revolver, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Partnership Revolver.

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 Partnership Revolver 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 Partnership was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the Partnership Revolver 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.

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	$	108.1		$	72.5
Net cash used in investing activities	(4.6		)	(16.2		)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(98.0		)	9.3
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	5.5		$	65.6

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $35.6 million to $108.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $72.5 million in the corresponding period of 2015. The increase primarily reflects the contribution of CMT's net cash provided by operating activities of $24.2 million in the first half of 2016 and the deferred payment terms on the $6.9 million of corporate costs allocation provided by our sponsor.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $11.6 million to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $16.2 million in the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the amendment of 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 as well as lower capital expenditures excluding the CMT capital expansion costs, which was funded from restricted cash.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $98.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $9.3 million for the corresponding period of 2015. In 2016, we repurchased $69.9 million face value of outstanding Partnership Notes for $46.4 million of cash in the open market. The Partnership also repaid $0.6 million of the face value Promissory Note on June 30, 2016. Additionally, we made distributions to our unitholders of

26

$57.5 million and distributions to SunCoke of $1.9 million. The distributions were partially offset by capital contributions from SunCoke of $8.4 million from the reimbursement holiday and IDR giveback.

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received gross proceeds of $210.8 million from the issuance of Partnership Notes. These cash inflows were partially offset by debt issuance costs of $4.5 million, distributions to our unitholders of $46.0 million, distributions to SunCoke of $1.5 million and the repayment of debt assumed from SunCoke and other liabilities of $149.5 million.

Capital Requirements and Expenditures

Our cokemaking 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, ensure 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.

The following table summarizes capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Ongoing capital	$	6.3	$	9.8
Environmental remediation capital(1)	5.1		6.4
Expansion capital - CMT(2)	10.7		—
Total	$	22.1	$	16.2

(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 on the ship loader expansion project paid for with pre-funded cash, which was restricted in conjunction with the acquisition of CMT and $1.2 million of interest capitalized in connection with the project.

In 2016, we expect lower ongoing capital spending across the entire fleet and will focus our efforts on projects that are geared toward asset care and increasing workforce safety. Additionally, we have shifted the timing of the environmental remediation project at Granite City and will begin the work in 2017.

In 2016, excluding capitalized interest and pre-funded capital projects at CMT, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $17 million, which includes ongoing capital expenditures of approximately $12 million. We expect that capital expenditures will remain near this level in 2017 and 2018.

We retained $119 million in proceeds from the IPO, and subsequent dropdowns to fund our environmental remediation projects to comply with the expected terms of a consent decree at the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking operations. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, any amounts that we spend on these projects in excess of the $119 million will be reimbursed by SunCoke. Prior to our formation, SunCoke spent approximately $7 million related to these projects. The

27

Partnership has spent approximately $83 million to date and the remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first quarter of 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

Adjusted 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. 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. 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 requirements for, working capital needs;

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

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

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

• includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

28

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited) 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:

(1) In response to the Securities & Exchange Commission’s May 2016 update to its guidance on 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) 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 milliongain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Reflects net income attributable to our Granite City facility prior to the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015 adjusted for Granite City's share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.

(4) Reflects net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for noncontrolling interest's share of interest, taxes, income, and depreciation and amortization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Partnership'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 Partnership carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership'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 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 Partnership 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 Partnership reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Partnership'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 Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On August 12, 2015 we acquired Raven Energy LLC including Convent Marine Terminal and consider 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. Raven represents $413.6 million of total assets and $14.7 million of total revenue in the combined and consolidated financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We are currently in the process of evaluating and integrating Raven’s internal controls over financial reporting and expect to complete the integration of Raven’s internal controls in 2016. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

34

PART II - OTHER INFORMAITON

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 9 to our combined and 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 combined and consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows at June 30, 2016.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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

Market Repurchases

On July 20, 2015, the Partnership's Board of Directors authorized a program for the Partnership to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common units. At June 30, 2016, there was $37.2 million available under the authorized unit repurchase program. There were no unit repurchases during the first half of 2016.

Exhibit 95.1

SunCoke Energy Partners

Mine Safety Disclosures for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

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

We have consistently operated our metallurgical coke operations within or near the top quartile for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s recordable injury rates as measured and reported by the American Coke and Coal Chemicals Institute. We also have worked to maintain low injury rates reportable to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”).

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

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

Mine or Operating Name/MSHA Identification Number	Section 104 S&S Citations (#)(2)	Section 104(b) Orders (#)(3)	Section 104(d) Citations and Orders (#)(4)	Section 110(b)(2) Violations (#)(5)	Section 107(a) Orders (#)(6)	Total Dollar Value of MSHA Assessments Proposed ($)(7)	Total Number of Mining Related Fatalities (#)	Received Notice of Pattern of Violations Under Section 104(e) (yes/no)(8)	Received Notice of Potential to Have Pattern Under Section 104(e) (yes/no)(9)	Legal Actions Pending as of Last Day of Period (#)(10)(11)	Legal Actions Initiated During Period (#)(12)	Legal Actions Resolved During Period (#)(13)

(1) The table does not include the following: (i) facilities which have been idle or closed unless they received a citation or order issued by MSHA, (ii) permitted mining sites where we have not begun operations or (iii) mines that are operated on our behalf by contractors who hold the MSHA numbers and have the MSHA liabilities.

(2) Alleged violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard.

(3) Alleged failures to totally abate a citation within the period of time specified in the citation.

Page 1        

(4) Alleged unwarrantable failure (i.e., aggravated conduct constituting more than ordinary negligence) to comply with a mining safety standard or regulation.

(5) Alleged flagrant violations issued.

(6) Alleged conditions or practices which could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious physical harm before such condition or practice can be abated.

(7) Amounts shown include assessments proposed during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and do not necessarily relate to the citations or orders reflected in this table. Assessments for citations or orders reflected in this table may be proposed by MSHA after June 30, 2016.

(8) Alleged pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards.

(9) Alleged potential to have a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards.

(10) This number reflects legal proceedings which remain pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “FMSHRC”) as of June 30, 2016. The pending legal actions may relate to the citations or orders issued by MSHA during the reporting period or to citations or orders issued in prior periods. The FMSHRC has jurisdiction to hear not only challenges to citations, orders, and penalties but also certain complaints by miners. The number of “pending legal actions” reported here reflects the number of contested citations, orders, penalties or complaints which remain pending as of June 30, 2016.

(11) The legal proceedings which remain pending before the FMSHRC as of June 30, 2016 are categorized as follows in accordance with the categories established in the Procedural Rules of the FMSHRC:

Mine or Operating Name/MSHA Identification Number	Contests of Citations and Orders (#)	Contests of Proposed Penalties (#)	Complaints for Compensation (#)	Complaints for Discharge, Discrimination or Interference Under Section 105 (#)	Applications for Temporary Relief (#)	Appeals of Judges’ Decisions or Orders (#)

(13) This number reflects legal proceedings before the FMSHRC that were resolved during the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

1. General

Description of Business

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P., (the "Partnership", "we", "our", and "us"), is a Delaware limited partnership formed inJuly 2012, which primarily produces coke used in the blast furnace production of steel. At June 30, 2016, we owned a 98 percentinterest in Haverhill Coke Company LLC ("Haverhill"), Middletown Coke Company, LLC ("Middletown") and Gateway Energy and Coke Company, LLC ("Granite City"). The remaining 2 percent ownership interest in our three cokemaking facilities was owned by SunCoke Energy, Inc. ("SunCoke"). We also own a Coal Logistics business, which provides coal handling and/or mixing services to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities and other SunCoke cokemaking facilities. Our Coal Logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT") and SunCoke Lake Terminal, LLC ("Lake Terminal"). At June 30, 2016, SunCoke, through a subsidiary, owned a 53.9 percent limited partnership interest in us and indirectly owned and controlled our general partner, which holds a 2.0 percent general partner interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights ("IDR").

Incorporated in Delaware in 2012 and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, we became a publicly-traded partnership in 2013 and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SXCP.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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 for the full year. These unaudited interim combined and consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The combined and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented pertain to the operations of the Partnership and give retrospective effect to include the results of operations and cash flows of Granite City (the "Previous Owner"), as a result of the January 2015 dropdown of a 75 percent interest in Granite City ("Granite City Dropdown").

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 Partnership is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and 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),” 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 Partnership is currently evaluating the new standard to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Additionally, Domestic Coke purchased $0.8 million of pad coal from SunCoke's cokemaking operations during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Partnership also purchased coal and other services from SunCoke and its affiliates totaling $0.8 million and $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. At June 30, 2016, net payables to SunCoke and affiliates were $9.4 million, which were recorded in payable to affiliates, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our Coal Logistics business also 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 for $5.4 million, or 2.9 percent, and $10.5 million or 2.8 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 is 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 7. 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. SeeNote 10.

Also as part of the CMT acquisition, the Partnership withheld $21.5 million in 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.

Allocated Expenses

SunCoke charges us for all direct costs and expenses incurred on our behalf and allocated costs associated with support services provided to our operations. Allocated expenses from SunCoke for general corporate and operations support costs totaled $6.9 million and $13.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $6.7 million and $13.2 million during three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs include legal, accounting, tax, treasury, engineering, information technology, insurance, employee benefit costs, communications, human resources, and procurement. Corporate allocations are recorded in accordance with the terms of our omnibus agreement with SunCoke and our general partner. These allocations were increased in the first quarter of 2016 for additional support provided to the CMT operations.

In the first half of 2016, SunCoke took certain actions to support the Partnership's strategy to de-lever its balance sheet and maintain a solid liquidity position. During the first quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided a "reimbursement holiday" on the $7.0 millionof corporate costs allocated to the Partnership and also returned its $1.4 million IDR cash distribution to the Partnership ("IDR giveback"), resulting in capital contributions of $8.4 million. During the second quarter of 2016, SunCoke provided the Partnership with deferred payment terms until April 2017 on the reimbursement of the $6.9 million of allocated corporate costs to the Partnership and the $1.4 million IDR cash distribution, resulting in an outstanding payable to SunCoke of $8.3 millionincluded in payable to affiliate, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016.

Omnibus Agreement

In connection with the closing of our initial public offering on January 24, 2013 ("IPO"), we entered into an omnibus agreement with SunCoke and our general partner that addresses certain aspects of our relationship with them, including:

Business Opportunities. We have preferential rights to invest in, acquire and construct cokemaking facilities in the United States and Canada. SunCoke has preferential rights to all other business opportunities.

Potential Defaults by Coke Agreement Counterparties. For a period of five years from the closing date of the IPO, SunCoke has agreed to make us whole (including an obligation to pay for coke) to the extent (i) AK Steel exercises the early termination right provided in its Haverhill coke sales agreement, (ii) any customer fails to purchase coke or defaults in payment under its coke sales agreement (other than by reason of force majeure or our default) or (iii) we amend a coke sales agreement's terms to reduce a customer's purchase obligation as a result of the customer's financial distress. We and SunCoke will share in any damages and other amounts recovered from third-parties arising from such events in proportion to our relative losses.

Environmental Indemnity. SunCoke will indemnify us to the full extent of any remediation losses at the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities arising from any environmental matter discovered and identified as requiring remediation prior to the closing of the IPO. In addition, SunCoke will indemnify us for remediation losses at the Granite City cokemaking facility arising from any environmental matter discovered and identified as requiring remediation prior to the closing of the initial Granite City Dropdown. SunCoke contributed $67.0 million in partial satisfaction of this obligation from the proceeds of the IPO, and an additional $52.0 million in connection with subsequent dropdowns. If, prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, a pre-existing environmental matter is identified as requiring remediation, SunCoke will indemnify us for up to $50.0 million of any such remediation costs (we will bear the first $5.0 million of any such costs).

Other Indemnification. SunCoke will fully indemnify us with respect to any additional tax liability related to periods prior to or in connection with the closing of the IPO or the Granite City Dropdown to the extent not currently presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, SunCoke will either cure or fully indemnify us for losses resulting from any material title defects at the properties owned by the entities acquired in connection with the closing of the IPO or the Granite City Dropdown to the extent that those defects interfere with or could reasonably be expected to interfere with the operations of the related cokemaking facilities. We will indemnify SunCoke for events relating to our operations except to the extent that we are entitled to indemnification by SunCoke.

License. SunCoke has granted us a royalty-free license to use the name “SunCoke” and related marks. Additionally, SunCoke has granted us a non-exclusive right to use all of SunCoke's current and future cokemaking and related technology. We have not paid and will not pay a separate license fee for the rights we receive under the license.

Expenses and Reimbursement. SunCoke will continue to provide us with certain corporate and other services, and we will reimburse SunCoke for all direct costs and expenses incurred on our behalf and a portion of corporate and other costs and expenses attributable to our operations. SunCoke may consider providing additional support to the Partnership in the future by providing a corporate cost reimbursement holiday, whereby the Partnership would not be required to reimburse SunCoke for costs or a deferral, whereby the Partnership would be granted extended payment terms. Additionally, we have agreed to pay all fees in connection with any future financing arrangement entered into for the purpose of replacing the credit facility or the senior notes.

So long as SunCoke controls our general partner, the omnibus agreement will remain in full force and effect unless mutually terminated by the parties. If SunCoke ceases to control our general partner, the omnibus agreement will terminate, but our rights to indemnification and use of SunCoke's existing cokemaking and related technology will survive. The omnibus agreement can be amended by written agreement of all parties to the agreement, but we may not agree to any amendment that would, in the reasonable discretion of our general partner, be adverse in any material respect to the holders of our common units without prior approval of the conflicts committee.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Cash Distributions and Net Income Per Unit

3. Cash Distributions and Net Income Per Unit

Cash Distributions

Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make cash distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:

• first, 98 percent to the holders of common units and 2 percent to our general partner, until each common unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.412500 plus any arrearages from prior quarters;

• second,98 percent to the holders of subordinated units and 2 percent to our general partner, until each subordinated unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.412500; and

• third,98 percent to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2 percent to our general partner, until each unit has received a distribution of $0.474375.

If cash distributions to our unitholders exceed $0.474375 per unit in any quarter, our unitholders and our general partner will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:

	Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit Target Amount		Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
			Unitholders	General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$0.412500		98%	2%
First Target Distribution	above $0.412500	up to $0.474375	98%	2%
Second Target Distribution	above $0.474375	up to $0.515625	85%	15%
Third Target Distribution	above $0.515625	up to $0.618750	75%	25%
Thereafter	above $0.618750		50%	50%

Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end. The table below represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned:

Earned in Quarter Ended	Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit		Total Cash Distribution including general partners IDRs		Date of Distribution	Unitholders Record Date
			(Dollars in millions)
June 30, 2015	$	0.5825	$	29.0	August 31, 2015	August 14, 2015
September 30, 2015	$	0.5940	$	29.6	December 1, 2015	November 13, 2015

June 30, 2016(2)	$	0.5940	$	29.5	September 1, 2016	August 15, 2016

(1) SunCoke provided the Partnership with deferred payment terms until April 2017 on the $1.4 million IDR cash distribution earned in the first quarter of 2016. The total cash disbursed from the distribution on June 1, 2016 was $28.0 million.

(2) On July 25, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a cash distribution of $0.5940 per unit, which will be paid on September 1, 2016, to unitholders of record on August 15, 2016.

Allocation of Net Income

Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income to the unitholders and the general partner. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100 percent to the general partner. Net income from Granite City’s operations prior to the Granite City Dropdown is allocated to the general partner.

Upon payment of the cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2015, the financial requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied. As a result, the 15,709,697 subordinated units converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. For purpose of calculating net income per unit, the conversion of the subordinated units is deemed to have occurred on January 1, 2016. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership's outstanding units representing limited partner interest.

The calculation of net income allocated to the general and limited partners was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(Dollars in millions)
Net income attributable to SunCoke Energy L.P./Previous Owner	$	12.1		$	17.0		$	51.9		$	30.2

Total common - SunCoke interest in net income	5.8			2.7			19.0			4.6
Subordinated - SunCoke interest in net income	—			6.2			—			10.8
Total limited partners' interest in net income	$	10.4		$	15.6		$	40.1		$	27.0

(1)Per the amended Partnership agreement, expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership are to be allocated entirely to the partner who paid them. During the first quarter of 2016, SunCoke paid $7.0 million of allocated corporate costs on behalf of the Partnership and will not seek reimbursement for those costs. See Note 2. These expenses are recorded as a direct reduction to SunCoke's interest in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Earnings Per Unit

Our net income is allocated to the general partner and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distributions, if any, to our general partner, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Distributions less than or greater than earnings are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, we also have identified the general partner interest and IDRs as participating securities and we use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding. In 2015, the Partnership early adopted ASU 2015-06, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)." Therefore, the Granite City Dropdown does not impact historical earnings per unit as the earnings of Granite City prior to the Granite City Dropdown were allocated entirely to our general partner.

The calculation of earnings per unit is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(Dollars and units in millions, except per unit amounts)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill allocated to the Partnership'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:

	Coal Logistics
	(Dollars in millions)
Net balance at December 31, 2015	$	67.7
Adjustments(1)	(0.6		)
Net balance at June 30, 2016	$	67.1

(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 our 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 our Coal Logistics business may be affected.

A significant portion of our 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, our 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.

The components of intangible assets were as follows:

		June 30, 2016						December 31, 2015
	Weighted - Average Remaining Amortization Years	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net

Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $2.8 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 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 estimate amortization expense for each of the next five years as follows:

Income Taxes

6. Income Taxes

The Partnership is a limited partnership and generally is not subject to federal income taxes. However, as part of the Granite City Dropdown in the first quarter of 2015, the Partnership acquired an interest in Gateway Cogeneration Company, LLC, which is subject to income taxes for federal and state purposes. Additionally, as a result of the Granite City Dropdown, the Partnership is subject to state income tax. Earnings from our Middletown operations are subject to a local income tax.

The Partnership recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to an income tax expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and an income tax benefit of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The six months ended June 30, 2015 included an income tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the tax impacts of the Granite City Dropdown. Earnings from our Granite City operations include federal and state income taxes calculated on a theoretical separate-return basis until the date of the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015.

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 the write-off of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of unamortized original issue premium, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

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 Partnership is subject to certain debt covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of 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 governing the Partnership's debt.

Under the terms of the Partnership Revolver, the Partnership is subject to a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00, calculated by dividing total debt by EBITDA as defined by the Partnership Revolver, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, calculated by dividing EBITDA by interest expense as defined by the Partnership Revolver.

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 Partnership Revolver 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 Partnership was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants contained in the Partnership Revolver 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.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has issued Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) for the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities which stem from alleged violations of air 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 degree in federal district court with these parties. The consent decree includes a $2.2 million civil penalty payment that was paid by SunCoke 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 cokemaking facilities.

We retained an aggregate of $119 million in proceeds from the IPO, the dropdown of Haverhill and Middletown and the Granite City Dropdown to fund these environmental remediation projects at the Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, any amounts that we spend on these projects in excess of the $119 million will be reimbursed by SunCoke. Prior to our formation, SunCoke spent $7 millionrelated to these projects.We have spent approximately$83 millionto date and the remaining capital is expected to be spent through the first quarter of2019.

The Partnership 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 Partnership. Management of the Partnership believes that any liability which may arise from claims would not have a material adverse impact on our combined and consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership 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 to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

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

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

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

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

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

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Partnership’s cash equivalents are 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. The Partnership had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2016.

Convent Marine Terminal Contingent Consideration

In connection with the CMT acquisition, the Partnership entered into a contingent consideration arrangement that requires us 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 at March 31, 2016, resulting in a $3.7 million gain recognized as a reduction to costs of products sold and operating expenses on the Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income 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 estimated fair value of the Partnership's total debt was $748.9 million compared to a carrying amount of $828.3 million. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Disclosures

11. Business Segment Disclosures

The Partnership derives its revenues from the Domestic Coke and Coal Logistics reportable segments. Domestic Coke operations are comprised of the Haverhill and Middletown cokemaking facilities located in Ohio and the Granite City cokemaking facility located in Illinois. These facilities use similar production processes to produce coke and to recover waste heat that is converted to steam or electricity. 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 the Partnership's 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 contain 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 expenses, 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.

Coal Logistics operations are comprised of CMT located in Louisiana, Lake Terminal located in Indiana and KRT located in West Virginia. 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.

Corporate and other expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other. Interest expense, net and (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt are also excluded from segment results. Segment assets are those assets that are utilized within a specific segment.

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:

(1) 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 $0.05 per common unit, during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The following table sets forth the Partnership’s total sales and other operating revenue by product or service, excluding intersegment revenues:

Total assets	$	1,729.9	$	1,768.9

The Partnership evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, whichrepresents 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. 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. 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 requirements for, working capital needs;

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

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

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

• includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited) 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:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015		2016(1)			2015

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	67.7		$	42.8	$	108.1		$	72.5

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.	$	40.9		$	42.1	$	88.2		$	85.9

(1) In response to the SEC’s May 2016 update to its guidance on 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) 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 milliongain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Reflects net income attributable to our Granite City facility prior to the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015 adjusted for Granite City's share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.

(4) Reflects net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for noncontrolling interest's share of interest, taxes, income, and depreciation and amortization.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 Partnership is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and 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),” 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 Partnership is currently evaluating the new standard to determine its potential impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

(1) In response to the SEC’s May 2016 update to its guidance on 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) 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 milliongain recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Reflects net income attributable to our Granite City facility prior to the Granite City Dropdown on January 13, 2015 adjusted for Granite City's share of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.
