        2017, down $25.0 million versus the prior year period primarily driven

Revenues in second quarter 2017 increased $19.2 million from the same prior year period, reflecting the pass-through of higher coal prices in our Domestic Coke segment as well as higher sales volumes in our Coal Logistics segment.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter increased $1.3 million primarily due to higher sales volumes in our Coal Logistics segment as compared to the same prior year period. This improvement was partially offset by the impacts of a planned outage at our Granite City facility in the current quarter.

Net loss attributable to SXCP in the second quarter 2017 was $12.9 million, compared to a net gain of $12.1 million in the prior year period. This $25.0 million change is primarily driven by $19.9 million of debt extinguishment costs related to our debt refinancing activities in the current year period, compared to $3.5 million of debt extinguishment gains recorded in the prior year period.

                     EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke
                     sales volumes.

    --  Revenues increased $14.5 million, reflecting the pass-through of higher
        coal prices in our Domestic Coke segment, partially offset by lower
        energy sales due to the planned outage at our Granite City facility in
        the current year period.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.6 million, driven primarily by lower energy
        sales and higher operating and maintenance spend for the planned Granite
        City outage described above.

Coal Logistics

Coal Logistics consists of the coal handling and mixing services operated by SXCP at Convent Marine Terminal ("CMT") located on the Mississippi river in Louisiana, Lake Terminal in East Chicago, Indiana and Kanawha River Terminals, LLC ("KRT"), which has terminals along the Ohio and Kanawha rivers in West Virginia.

DEFINITIONS


    --  Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, loss (gain) on
        extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted
        for changes to our contingent consideration liability related to our
        acquisition of CMT and the expiration of certain acquired contractual
        obligations.  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
        Coal 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 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.


    --  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 and includes capital expenditures
        included in working capital at the end of the period.
    --  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.

    (1)              The Partnership recorded a loss on
                     extinguishment of debt as a result
                     of its debt refinancing activities
                     during the second quarter of 2017.
                     The Partnership recorded a gain on
                     extinguishment of debt as a result
                     of senior note repurchases through
                     the first half of 2016.


    (2)              In January 2017, the Internal
                     Revenue Service ("IRS") announced
                     its decision to exclude cokemaking
                     as a qualifying income generating
                     activity in its final regulations
                     (the "Final Regulations") issued
                     under section 7704(d)(1)(E) of the
                     Internal Revenue Code relating to
                     the qualifying income exception for
                     publicly traded partnerships.
                     However, the Final Regulations
                     include a transition period for
                     activities that were reasonably
                     interpreted to be qualifying income
                     and carried on by publicly traded
                     partnerships prior to the Final
                     Regulations. The Partnership
                     previously received a will-level
                     opinion from its counsel, Vinson &
                     Elkins LLP, that the Partnership's
                     cokemaking operations generated
                     qualifying income prior to the
                     Final Regulations. Therefore, the
                     Partnership believes it had a
                     reasonable basis to conclude its
                     cokemaking operations were
                     considered qualifying income before
                     the issuance of the new regulations
                     and as such expects to maintain its
                     treatment as a partnership through
                     the transition period. Cokemaking
                     entities in the Partnership will
                     become taxable as corporations on
                     January 1, 2028, after the
                     transition period ends.


                    As a result of the Final
                     Regulations, the Partnership
                     recorded deferred income tax
                     expense of $148.6 million to setup
                     its initial deferred income tax
                     liability during the first quarter
                     of 2017, primarily related to
                     differences in the book and tax
                     basis of fixed assets, which are
                     expected to exist at the end of the
                     10-year transition period when the
                     cokemaking operations become
                     taxable.
