SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. Provides Perspective on Recent News

LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) issued the following statement regarding recent news about Haverhill Chemicals LLC:

“SunCoke Energy Partners continues to produce and provide its customers with coke. The recent announcement by Haverhill Chemicals LLC to shut down its adjacent facility does not impact our ability to continue producing coke. We have a good relationship with Haverhill Chemicals and expect to work cooperatively with them on contingency plans. Our preliminary estimate for the net impact to 2015 Adjusted EBITDA is approximately $6 million inclusive of lost revenue and initial projections of incremental operating costs. We anticipate this will have no impact on SunCoke Energy Partners’ quarterly cash distribution outlook.”

DEFINITIONS

• Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Prior to the expiration of our nonconventional fuel tax credits in 2013, Adjusted EBITDA included an add-back of sales discounts related to the sharing of these credits with our customers. Any adjustments to these amounts subsequent to 2013 have been included in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income under generally accepted auditing principles ("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 of the Partnership's net assets 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, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
