Revenues in second quarter 2018 increased $28.0 million from the prior year period, primarily reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices and higher sales volumes in our Domestic Coke segment as well as the record sales volumes at CMT.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter increased $12.5 million, driven primarily by sales volumes at CMT and improved operational coal-to-coke yields in our Domestic Coke Segment.
Net income attributable to SXCP in the second quarter 2018 was $18.8 million, up $31.7 million versus the same prior year period. The improvement was driven by the absence of the $19.9 million of loss on extinguishment of debt related to refinancing activities in the prior year period as well as improved operating results in the current period.

Reflects Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke sales volumes.
|
- Revenues increased $16.0 million primarily reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices and higher sales volumes.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million primarily driven by $2.9 million from improved operational coal-to-coke yields and favorable energy prices. Comparisons between periods were also impacted by the timing and scope of planned outages and the absence of under-recovered coal costs from unfulfilled coal supply commitments, which provided a benefit of $3.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the prior year period. These improvements were partially offset by $4.1 million of higher maintenance and operating costs during the second quarter 2018 compared to prior year period.
Logistics
Logistics consists of the handling and mixing services of coal and other aggregates operated by SXCP at our Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT"), Lake Terminal and Kanawha River Terminals ("KRT").

- Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, driven primarily by record sales volumes at CMT in the current year period. CMT had minimal take-or-pay shortfall tons from our long-term, take-or-pay arrangements at the end of the second quarter 2018 with no shortfall tons attributable to our two largest coal export customers.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses increased by $0.6 million to $4.7 million due primarily to costs associated with certain legal matters in the current year period.
2018 OUTLOOK
Our 2018 guidance is as follows:
- Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP is expected to be between $215 to $225 million
- Distributable Cash Flow expect to be between $122 to $132 million
- Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $61 million, including approximately $35 million related to our Granite City gas sharing project

DEFINITIONS
- Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for any loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, and/or changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of CMT. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income under 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 and liquidity of the Partnership's net assets and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. 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 and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
- Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXCP equals Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.
- Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA plus sponsor support and Logistics deferred revenue, less net cash paid for interest expense, ongoing capital expenditures, accruals for replacement capital expenditures, and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; plus amounts received under the Omnibus Agreement and acquisition expenses deemed to be Expansion Capital under our Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of SXCP's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use to assess:
- SXCP's operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis;
- the ability of SXCP's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to SXCP's unitholders;
- SXCP's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
- the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing SXCP's financial condition and results of operations. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Distributable Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and used in investing activities. Additionally, because Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, our definition of Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
- Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio equals Distributable Cash Flow divided by estimated distributions to the limited and general partners.
- Operating Cash Flow Coverage Ratio equals net cash provided by operating activities divided by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners. Operating cash flow is generally expected to be higher than Distributable Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow is further reduced by certain cash reserves including capital expenditures, an investing cash flow item. Additionally, Distributable Cash Flow represents only the Partnership's share of available cash by excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest, while operating cash flow is reported on a consolidated basis.
- Ongoing capital expenditures ("capex") are capital expenditures made to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and/or to extend their useful lives. Ongoing capex also includes new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capex does not include normal repairs and maintenance, which are expensed as incurred, or significant capital expenditures. For purposes of calculating distributable cash flow, the portion of ongoing capex attributable to SXCP is used.
- Replacement capital expenditures ("capex") represents an annual accrual necessary to fund SXCP's share of the estimated costs to replace or rebuild our facilities at the end of their working lives. This accrual is estimated based on the average quarterly anticipated replacement capital that we expect to incur over the long term to replace our major capital assets at the end of their working lives. The replacement capex accrual estimate will be subject to review and prospective change by SXCP's general partner at least annually and whenever an event occurs that causes a material adjustment of replacement capex, provided such change is approved by our conflicts committee.

Logistics volume shortfall billings adjusts to include ton minimums billed throughout the year in Distributable Cash Flow to better align with cash collection.

Reflects net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for noncontrolling interest's share of interest, taxes, income, and depreciation and amortization.
|
|
(4)
|
Changes in working capital exclude those items not impacting Adjusted EBITDA, such as changes in interest payable and income taxes payable.
|
|
(5)
|
Operating cash flow coverage ratio is net cash provided by operating activities divided by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners. Operating cash flow is generally expected to be higher than Distributable Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow is further reduced by certain cash reserves including capital expenditures, an investing cash flow item. Additionally, Distributable Cash Flow represents only the Partnership's share of available cash by excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest, while operating cash flow is reported on a consolidated basis.

|
(6)
|
Distribution cash coverage ratio is distributable cash flow divided by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners.

Operating cash flow coverage ratio is net cash provided by operating activities divided by total estimated distributions to the limited and general partners. Operating cash flow is generally expected to be higher than Distributable Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow is further reduced by certain cash reserves including capital expenditures, an investing cash flow item. Additionally, Distributable Cash Flow represents only the Partnership's share of available cash by excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest, while operating cash flow is reported on a consolidated basis.
