LISLE, Ill., Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Net income attributable to SXC was $43.4 million, or $0.52 per share, for the full-year 2021; Net income attributable to SXC was $12.7 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter 2021
  • Full-year 2021 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $275.4 million, representing record-setting full year performance; Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $62.9 million
  • Operating cash flow was $233.1 million for the full-year 2021, above our revised guidance of $209 million to $224 million
  • Signed a 5 year take-or-pay coke contract with Algoma Steel beginning in 2022; average sales volume of 150,000 tons per year
  • Full-year 2022 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $240 million to $255 million

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) (the "Company" or "SunCoke") today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2021 results, reflecting record-setting performance from our cokemaking and logistics businesses.

"In 2021, we further demonstrated our operational and technical expertise by meaningfully expanding into the foundry and export coke markets and ensuring, our best-in-class assets continue to run at full capacity. With the backdrop of strong commodity markets and robust demand for our products and services, we delivered the highest Adjusted EBITDA results in the history of SunCoke." said Mike Rippey, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy, Inc. "We also successfully refinanced the company's debt, significantly reducing the cost of debt and extending debt maturities."

Looking forward, the Company expects 2022 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to be between $240 million and $255 million, driven by our Domestic Coke plants continuing to operate at full capacity.

Rippey continued, "As we enter 2022, we remain focused on executing against our objectives of world-class safety performance, operational excellence and balanced capital allocation. We delivered robust cash flows and made significant progress towards our capital allocation objectives in 2021, setting the stage for continued progress on our capital allocation priorities in 2022. Additionally, we will continue to work towards strengthening customer relationships in both cokemaking and logistics businesses. We are confident that we will execute against our objectives and deliver significant value to SunCoke stakeholders."

Revenues increased during both the fourth quarter and full-year 2021 as compared to the same prior year periods, primarily reflecting higher volumes across both coke and logistics businesses resulting from strength in steel and coal markets as well as the absence of supply relief to certain customers in exchange for extending existing contracts during the prior year period.

Both fourth quarter and full-year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA increased as compared to the same prior year periods, primarily reflecting higher volumes discussed above.

Net income attributable to SXC for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021 both increased from the same prior year periods, driven by higher operating results discussed above as well as lower interest expense as a result of the debt refinancing completed during the second quarter of 2021. These improvements in net income attributable to SXC were partly offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in connection with the 2021 debt refinancing.

Reflects Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke sales volumes.

The increases in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021 as compared to the same prior year periods were driven by our return to normal production and sales volumes with the absence of the supply relief provided to our customers during the prior year periods as part of certain contract renewals. This resulted in higher volumes across the fleet, favorable energy revenues, and normalized operating and maintenance spending.

Logistics

Logistics consists of the handling and mixing services of coal and other aggregates at our Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Lake Terminal, Kanawha River Terminals ("KRT") and Dismal River Terminal ("DRT").

The increases in both revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021 as compared to the same prior year periods were driven by continued improvement in the export coal market, which resulted in higher throughput volumes and favorable pricing at CMT. Additionally, iron ore volumes at CMT favorably impacted the fourth quarter and full-year 2021.

Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA results improved for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021 as compared to the same prior year periods, reflecting favorable valuation adjustments as a result of changes in discount rates on certain legacy liabilities, which decreased legacy cost approximately $10.5 million and $11.3 million during the fourth quarter and full-year 2021, respectively.  The current year periods also benefited from the absence of foundry related research and development costs of $1.5 million and $3.9 million during the fourth quarter and full-year 2021, respectively. These lower costs were partly offset by higher employee related expenses.

2022 OUTLOOK

Our 2022 guidance is as follows:

  • Domestic coke total production is expected to be approximately 4.1 million tons
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $240 million to $255 million
  • Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $80 million
  • Cash generated by operations is estimated to be between $190 million and $205 million
  • Cash taxes are projected to be between $8 million to $12 million

DEFINITIONS

  • Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for any impairments, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs, changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of CMT, and/or transaction costs incurred as part of the Simplification Transaction. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures in other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure in assessing operating performance. 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
  • Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC represents Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release and related conference call contain "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).  Such forward-looking statements include statements that are not strictly historical facts, and include, among other things, statements regarding: our expectations of financial results, condition and outlook; anticipated effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and  responses thereto, including the pandemic's impact on general economic and market conditions, as well as on our business, our customers, our results of operations and financial condition; anticipated actions to be taken by management to sustain SunCoke during the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic and related business actions; and anticipated actions by governments to contain the spread of COVID-19 or mitigate the severity thereof.

Forward-looking statements often may be identified by the use of such words as "believe," "expect," "plan," "project," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "may," "will," "should," or the negative of these terms, or similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the control of SunCoke) that could cause actual results to differ materially.  Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to domestic and international economic, political, business, operational, competitive, regulatory and/or market factors affecting SunCoke, as well as uncertainties related to: pending or future litigation, legislation or regulatory actions; liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations; gains and losses related to acquisition, disposition or impairment of assets; recapitalizations; access to, and costs of, capital; the effects of changes in accounting rules applicable to SunCoke; and changes in tax, environmental and other laws and regulations applicable to SunCoke's businesses.

Currently, such risks and uncertainties also include: SunCoke's ability to manage its business during and after the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SunCoke's results of operations, revenues, earnings and cash flows; SunCoke's ability to reduce costs and capital spending in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; SunCoke's balance sheet and liquidity throughout and following the COVID-19 pandemic; SunCoke's prospects for financial performance and achievement of strategic objectives following the COVID-19 pandemic; capital allocation strategy following the COVID-19-related outbreak; and the general impact on our industry and on the U.S. and global economy resulting from COVID-19, including actions by domestic and foreign governments and others to contain the spread, or mitigate the severity, thereof.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are based upon the current knowledge, beliefs and expectations of SunCoke management, and upon assumptions by SunCoke concerning future conditions, any or all of which ultimately may prove to be inaccurate. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. SunCoke does not intend, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter its forward-looking statements (or associated cautionary language), whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this press release except as required by applicable law.

In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, SunCoke has included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 made by SunCoke. For information concerning these factors and other important information regarding the matters discussed in this press release, see SunCoke's Securities and Exchange Commission filings such as its annual and quarterly reports and current reports on Form 8-K, copies of which are available free of charge on SunCoke's website at www.suncoke.com. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this release also could have material adverse effects on forward- looking statements.
