SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. Announces Second Quarter 2016 Earnings Date and Change to Definition of Adjusted EBITDA
SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) 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.
SXCP will host its quarterly earnings call at 10:00 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 43172089.
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), SXCP’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 SXCP’s full-year 2016 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance nor
its annual results.
SXCP will continue to include deferred revenue in its quarterly
calculations of Distributable Cash Flow, as the company has the
contractual right to receive cash payments each quarter for ratable
volume shortfalls.
A recast of the results for the first quarter 2016 is shown below
reflecting this change.

Coal Logistics deferred revenue adjusts for coal and liquid tons the
Partnership did not handle, but are included in Distributable Cash
Flow as the associated take-or-pay fees are billed to the customer.
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. SXCP will continue to include deferred revenue in its
quarterly calculations of Distributable Cash Flow, as the company
has the contractual right to receive cash payments each quarter for
ratable volume shortfalls.

The Partnership amended the 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
$4.2 million at March 31, 2016, resulting in a $3.7 million gain,
which was excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

and amortization.

|
|
Distribution cash coverage ratio is distributable cash flow divided
by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners.
