SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012 RESULTS

 

   

Net income more than tripled to $27.6 million in fourth quarter 2012, or $0.39 per diluted share. For full year, net income rose 63.0 percent to $98.8 million, or $1.40 per diluted share

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA approximately doubled for the fourth quarter and full year 2012 reaching $69.7 million and $265.7 million, respectively

 

   

Our new Middletown, Ohio facility delivered about half of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and full year 2012. Better results at Indiana Harbor also contributed significantly to the fourth quarter and full year increases

 

   

Full year 2012 coal production increased 8.2 percent to nearly 1.5 million tons versus full year 2011, while Adjusted EBITDA for the Coal Mining segment declined slightly to $33.4 million primarily due to higher cash production costs

Lisle, IL (February 5, 2013) – SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2012 results.

“We delivered on our financial targets in 2012, achieving Adjusted EBITDA of $265.7 million, earnings per share of $1.40 and free cash flow of $120 million.” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. “This performance was driven largely by three factors: the near-flawless startup of our Middletown operations, better results at Indiana Harbor and continued strong performance across our entire U.S. cokemaking fleet. Our coal mining business did not meet our expectations in 2012, but still generated positive earnings and was essentially cash flow neutral. In response to the current weak coal market environment, we continue to take aggressive action to improve productivity and reduce costs to strategically position this segment for the long term.

Henderson also said, “In 2012, we built a strong foundation to grow our coke business. We signed an agreement to form a cokemaking joint venture with VISA Steel in India, filed a permit to build a potential new U.S. cokemaking facility and, just a few weeks ago, we completed the initial public offering for units in SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P., our new master limited partnership. These efforts should help drive continued positive long term momentum in our business.”

In fourth quarter 2012, total revenues rose 15.9 percent to $491.4 million versus fourth quarter 2011. For the full year 2012, total revenues increased 24.4 percent to $1,914.1 million versus full year 2011. The increase for both periods was largely driven by sales at our new Middletown facility, which began operations in October 2011, along with the pass-through of higher coal prices.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 125.6 percent to $69.7 million in the fourth quarter 2012 and was up 91.4 percent for the year to $265.7 million as compared to the same prior year periods. Adjusted EBITDA benefited in both periods from the contribution of Middletown combined with better results at our Indiana Harbor facility, which experienced operating challenges throughout 2011 and billing and inventory adjustments in fourth quarter 2011.

Net income attributable to shareholders climbed by $19.6 million to $27.6 million for the fourth quarter and by $38.2 million to $98.8 million for the full year 2012. The quarter’s strong improvement was led by the contribution of Middletown and better results at Indiana Harbor. The same factors drove the full year increase, but were partly offset by financing costs related to our standalone corporate structure.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Jewell Coke

The Jewell Coke segment consists of our cokemaking operations in Vansant, Virginia. Substantially all of the metallurgical coal used at our Jewell cokemaking facility is supplied from our coal mining operations. Beginning in first quarter 2012, the intersegment coal costs charged to the Jewell Coke segment are reflective of the contract price Jewell Coke charges its customer. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Segment revenues benefited from the pass-through of higher coal costs and increased sales volumes.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA declined slightly due to a lower-of-cost-or-market adjustment on coke inventory, production impacts from a power outage due to Hurricane Sandy, as well as higher maintenance costs and lower yields.

Other Domestic Coke

Other Domestic Coke consists of cokemaking facilities and heat recovery operations at our Indiana Harbor, Haverhill, Granite City and Middletown plants. The Middletown cokemaking facility commenced operations in October 2011. SunCoke holds an 85 percent interest in the partnership that owns the Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility, with the remaining 15 percent interest held by an unaffiliated third-party partner.

See definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Ton and reconciliations elsewhere in this release.

 

   

Segment revenues benefited from higher sales volumes at our Middletown facility, which represented $43.1 million of the increase, and the pass-through of higher coal costs.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA benefited from the $17.9 million generated by our Middletown facility. Also contributing to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was better results at Indiana Harbor. Indiana Harbor’s results benefited from a favorable billing adjustment of $4.2 million in fourth quarter 2012 and a favorable prior year comparison which was negatively impacted by $14.3 million in billing and inventory adjustments.

International Coke

International Coke consists of a cokemaking facility in Vitória, Brazil, which we operate for a Brazilian affiliate of ArcelorMittal. International Coke earns operating and technology licensing fees based on production, and recognizes a dividend on its preferred stock investment, generally in the fourth quarter, assuming certain minimum production levels are achieved at the facility.

 

   

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $10.2 million, unchanged from the same prior year period.

Coal Mining

Coal Mining consists of our metallurgical coal mining activities conducted in Virginia and West Virginia. A substantial portion of the metallurgical coal produced by our coal mining operations is sold to our Jewell Coke segment for conversion into coke. Beginning in first quarter 2012, intersegment coal revenues for sales to the Jewell Coke segment are reflective of the contract price Jewell Coke charges its customer. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Total coal mining revenues (including sales to affiliates) rose due to a higher average sale price and increased internal sales volumes. Segment revenues (excluding sales to affiliates) were down due to lower average sale price and lower sales volumes.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA benefited from lower production costs in fourth quarter 2012 due to lower Black Lung liability charges versus same prior year period and the increased mix of coal produced via our Revelation surface mining arrangement. Surface mining typically costs less to than underground coal mining.

Corporate and Other

Corporate expenses declined by $4.3 million to $8.9 million in fourth quarter 2012, primarily reflecting lower Black Lung liability charges, the absence of Middletown startup costs and lower relocation expenses, consulting fees and other costs, partly offset by a higher incentive compensation accrual.

Financing (Expense)/Income

Net financing expense increased $4.7 million in fourth quarter 2012 to $11.8 million, primarily due to $4.5 million of capitalized interest related to projects at our Middletown facility in fourth quarter 2011.

DEFINITIONS

 

   

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

 

   

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