SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

LISLE, Ill. (November 5, 2019) - SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) today reported results for the third quarter 2019, reflecting the continued strong performance of the Domestic Coke segment and customer challenges facing the Logistics segment.

“In the third quarter, cokemaking operations performed at a high level and delivered excellent results, partially driven by the success of our oven rebuild program at Indiana Harbor,” said Mike Rippey, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. “In our Coal Logistics segment, we experienced a meaningful shift in the operating environment as one of the two coal export customer filed for bankruptcy and the other continues to explore potential restructuring alternatives. This development led us to lower our guidance for the full year and record a non-cash impairment charge in the current quarter.”

Rippey continued, “Going forward, while we navigate through these difficult market conditions, we remain committed to our logistics business and are continuing to optimize asset performance across our businesses to generate significant value for SunCoke stakeholders in the long term. Despite the challenges in our logistics business, we continue to deliver strong cash flows and are committed to prioritizing capital allocation, as demonstrated by the 2.1 million shares repurchased during the quarter and the new $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by our Board.”
