Third quarter 2025 net income was $23.8 million, compared to $33.3 million in the prior year period; third quarter 2025 net income attributable to SXC was $22.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $30.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the prior year period

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $59.1 million, compared to $75.3 million in the prior year period

Completed the acquisition of Phoenix Global on August 1, 2025

Extended Granite City cokemaking contract with U.S. Steel through December 31, 2025

Updating full-year 2025 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ guidance range to $220 million - $225 million

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE:SXC) today reported results for third quarter 2025 and provided updated guidance for 2025.

"Our third quarter Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $59.1 million included two months of results from the addition of Phoenix Global. While the Domestic Coke segment continued to be impacted by the unfavorable mix of contract and spot coke sales, our new Industrial Services segment, which includes Phoenix Global and our logistics business, operated well during the quarter. Phoenix performed in line with our expectations, but volumes at our logistics terminals did not recover to the degree we previously expected due to persistent weak market conditions. Additionally, we have extended our cokemaking contract with U.S. Steel at Granite City through the end of 2025," said Katherine Gates, President and CEO of SunCoke Energy, Inc. "Our updated full-year Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA range of $220 million to $225 million reflects the addition of five months of Phoenix Global results, partially offset by the deferral of approximately 200,000 tons of coke sales due to a breach of contract by one of our coke customers. We are actively pursuing all avenues to enforce the contract." Gates continued, "As SunCoke has proven in the past, we are well-equipped to navigate challenging market conditions. We are excited to have Phoenix Global as part of SunCoke, and for the new opportunities that the business brings. The integration is progressing well, and we expect to begin realizing synergies from the acquisition in 2026."

THIRD QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions)		2025		2024	Increase (decrease)
Revenues	$	487.0	$	490.1	$	(3.1	)
Net income attributable to SXC	$	22.2	$	30.7	$	(8.5	)
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	59.1	$	75.3	$	(16.2	)

(1)	See definition of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") elsewhere in this release.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2025 decreased $3.1 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by lower pricing and volumes due to the change in mix of contract and spot coke sales, as well as lower contract extension economics at Granite City in the Domestic Coke segment, partially offset by the addition of Phoenix Global in the Industrial Services segment.

Net income attributable to SXC decreased $8.5 million from the same prior year period, primarily driven by the change in mix of contract and spot coke sales, lower contract extension economics at Granite City, the absence of the $9.5 million gain on elimination of the majority of legacy black lung liabilities recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and transaction and restructuring costs of $7.6 million, partially offset by lower income tax expense driven by capital investment tax credits.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $16.2 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by lower volumes and pricing due to the change in mix of contract and spot coke sales, lower contract extension economics at Granite City, the absence of the $9.5 million gain on elimination of the majority of legacy black lung liabilities recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and lower volumes at the logistics terminals, partially offset by the inclusion of Phoenix Global results.

THIRD QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 decreased $14.1 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by lower volumes and pricing due to the change in mix of contract and spot coke sales, lower contract extension economics at Granite City, and lower volumes driven by lower coal-to-coke yields.

Industrial Services

Industrial Services consists of the handling and mixing services of coal and other aggregates at our logistics terminals, including Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Lake Terminal, and Kanawha River Terminals ("KRT"). Additionally, Industrial Services includes fifteen molten slag removal, handling, and processing operating sites in four countries.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2025 increased $42.7 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the addition of two months of Phoenix Global results.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.5 million as compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the addition of two months of Phoenix Global results, partially offset by lower volumes at logistics terminals due to market conditions.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other, which includes results from our legacy coal mining business and Brazil cokemaking business, was an expense of $3.1 million during the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net positive of $3.5 million during the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the absence of the $9.5 million gain on elimination of the majority of legacy black lung liabilities recorded in the third quarter of 2024.

2025 REVISED OUTLOOK

Our 2025 revised guidance reflects the addition of Phoenix Global and estimated impact of the deferral of coke sales tons due to a customer's breach of contract on Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, and Operating cash flow.

Our revised 2025 guidance is as follows:

Domestic Coke total production is expected to be approximately 3.9 million tons
Consolidated Net Income is expected to be between $48 million and $58 million
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $220 million and $225 million
Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $70 million
Operating cash flow is estimated to be between $62 million and $72 million
Cash taxes are projected to be between $4 million and $7 million

Disclaimer: The Company's 2025 outlook and guidance are based on the Company's current estimates and assumptions that are subject to change and may be outside the control of the Company. If actual results vary from these estimates and assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurances that SunCoke will achieve the results expressed by this outlook and guidance.

SunCoke routinely announces material information to investors and the marketplace using press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, public conference calls, webcasts, sustainability reports, and SunCoke's website at https://www.suncoke.com/en/investors/overview. The information that SunCoke posts to its website may be deemed to be material.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to U.S. GAAP measures, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, other companies may calculate non-GAAP metrics differently than we do, thereby limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenues and net income. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included following the presentation of financial and operating results included at the end of this press release.

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for any impairments, restructuring costs, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on derivative instruments, site closure costs and/or transaction costs ("Adjusted EBITDA"). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income under 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. 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). 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. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Any statements made in this press release or during the related conference call that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our full-year 2025 outlook and guidance, our 2025 key initiatives, future dividends and the timing of such dividend payments, anticipated amount of 2025 coke sales, challenging market conditions, anticipated transaction benefits and synergies of the Phoenix Global acquisition and expected timing of Phoenix Global's integration, the intended hosting and timing of any investor conferences, the effect of restrictive trade regulations, including tariffs, on us or our major customers, business partners and/or suppliers, and expected future financial performance, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements represent only our present beliefs regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond the control of SunCoke) that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A ("Risk Factors") of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year, as well as those described from time to time in our other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, SunCoke has included in its filings with the SEC 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 and related conference call, see SunCoke's SEC filings, copies of which are available free of charge on SunCoke's website at www.suncoke.com or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements included in this press release and related conference call are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this press release and related conference call also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

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. You 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.
