FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This slide presentation should be reviewed in conjunction with the Fourth Quarter 2012 earnings releases of SunCoke Energy, Inc. (SunCoke) and
SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (Partnership) and the conference call held on February 5 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
Some of the information included in this presentation constitutes “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  All statements in this presentation that express
opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections with respect to anticipated future performance of SunCoke or the
Partnership, in contrast with statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements are based on
management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. Forward-looking statements include information concerning
possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities,
potential operating performance improvements, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking
statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the 
words “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “should” or the negative
of these terms or similar expressions.   
Although management believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements made in
this presentation are reasonable, no assurance can be given that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved when anticipated or at
all.  Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties.  Many of these risks are beyond the control of
SunCoke and the Partnership, and may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking
statements.  Each of SunCoke and the Partnership has included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, in the case
of the Partnership, its Form S-1) cautionary language identifying important factors (but not necessarily all the important factors) that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. For more information concerning these factors, see
the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of SunCoke and the Partnership.  All forward-looking statements included in this presentation
are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements.  Although forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and
expectations, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only
as of the date hereof.  SunCoke and the Partnership do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement
(or its associated cautionary language) whether as a result of new information or future events or after the date of this presentation, except as
required by applicable law.
This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of the presentation.
Investors are urged to consider carefully the comparable GAAP measures and the reconciliations to those measures provided in the Appendix.

APPENDIX
26
SXC and SXCP Q4 2012 Earnings Conference Call


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/SXCP
equals
Adjusted
EBITDA
less
Adjusted
EBITDA
attributable
to
noncontrolling
interests.
Adjusted
EBITDA/Ton
represents
Adjusted
EBITDA
divided
by
tons
sold.
When
applicable
to
Adjusted
EBITDA
attributable
to
SXC or SXCP, tons sold are prorated according to the respective ownership interest of SXC or SXCP as applicable.
Free Cash Flow
equals cash from operations less cash used in investing activities less cash distributions to non-controlling
interests.
Management
believes
Free
Cash
Flow
information
enhances
an
investor’s
understanding
of
a
business’
ability
to
generate
cash.
Free
Cash
Flow
does
not
represent
and
should
not
be
considered
an
alternative
to
net
income
or
cash
flows
from
operating activities as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses.
Definitions
SXC and SXCP Q4 2012 Earnings Conference Call

Distributable
Cash
Flow
equals
Adjusted
EBITDA
less
net
cash
paid
for
interest
expense,
on-going
capital
expenditures,
accruals
for replacement capital expenditures, and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests.  Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP
supplemental financial measure that management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry
analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies, use to assess:
the Partnership's operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost
basis;
the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to the Partnership's unitholders;
the Partnership's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment
opportunities.
The Partnership believes that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing the Partnership's financial
condition and results of operations. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income,
cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Distributable Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes
some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and used in investing activities.
Additionally, because Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the Partnership's
definition
of
Distributable
Cash
Flow
may
not
be
comparable
to
similarly
titled
measures
of
other
companies,
thereby
diminishing
their
utility.
