SunCoke Energy, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2016 Earnings Date and Change to Definition of Adjusted EBITDA
SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) plans to release its second quarter
2016 financial results, including quarterly coke production volumes, on
Thursday, July 28, 2016, before trading opens on the New York Stock
Exchange.
SXC will host its quarterly earnings call at 11:00 am ET on July 28,
2016. The conference call will be webcast live and archived for replay
in the Investors section of www.suncoke.com.
Investors may participate in this call by dialing 1-866-393-4306 in the
U.S. or 1-617-826-1698 if outside the U.S., confirmation code 43197747.
CHANGE TO DEFINITION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA
In response to the Securities & Exchange Commission’s updated
interpretation of the appropriate use of non-GAAP financial measures
(specifically regarding revenue recognition), SXC’s Adjusted EBITDA
definition will no longer include Coal Logistics deferred
revenue. Deferred revenue represents customer payments for quarterly
volume shortfalls against ratable annual contract commitments on Coal
Logistics take-or-pay contracts, which the Company historically included
in Adjusted EBITDA when it was billed. To the extent that deferred
revenue is recorded, it will no longer be reflected in Adjusted EBITDA
until it is recognized as GAAP revenue, typically at the end of the
annual contract period or December 31. This change in definition aligns
Adjusted EBITDA reporting with GAAP accounting treatment and does not
impact SXC’s full-year 2016 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance nor
its annual results.
A recast of the results for the first quarter 2016 is shown below
reflecting this change.

The Partnership amended its contingent consideration terms with The
Cline Group, which reduced the fair value of the contingent
consideration liability from $7.9 million at December 31, 2015, to

which was excluded from Adjusted EBTIDA.
