Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the entire year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the following, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Goodwill

Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. As part of the annual test, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether the fair values of its reporting units are "more likely than not" to exceed their carrying values. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting units' actual results compared to projected results. If the fair value of a reporting unit does not meet the "more likely than not" criteria discussed above, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, which begins by measuring the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment is recorded equal to the carrying value of the reporting unit less its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. If a quantitative assessment is determined to be required, the Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the market approach. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2026 and 2025.

Acquisition of Flame Aggregator, LLC

On August 1, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) announced on May 28, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Flame Aggregator, LLC (“Phoenix Global”), a privately held provider of mission-critical mill services to major steel producing companies, for purchase consideration of $294.0 million. The Company funded the transaction with cash on-hand and borrowings on our revolving credit facility, due 2030 (“Revolving Facility”). See Note 2 – Acquisitions for further detail.

Update to Reportable Segments

Prior to the acquisition of Phoenix Global, the Company consisted of three reportable segments, Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke and Logistics. Following the acquisition, the Company now consists of two reportable segments, Domestic Coke and Industrial Services. Accordingly, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented herein to reflect this change. See Note 11 – Business Segment Information for further detail.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient.

The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2026 and the impact to the consolidated financial statements was not material.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures aimed at enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of income statement expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 as well as interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and requires either prospective application or retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt the guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027.

2. Acquisitions

On August 1, 2025 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all the equity of Flame Aggregator, LLC, by causing Phoenix Global to merge with and into one of its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries with Phoenix Global surviving, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2025. This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The acquisition of Phoenix Global expands our industrial services offerings including adding servicing of electric arc furnace operations and international markets to the Company’s portfolio. The acquisition is included as part of the Company's Industrial Services segment.

Subsequent to the preliminary acquisition purchase consideration disclosed as of December 31, 2025, the Company received $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2026 primarily related to the settlement of final working capital. The acquisition purchase consideration, in accordance with ASC 805, totaled $294.0 million in net cash payments.

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Phoenix Global. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed its evaluation of the valuation analysis. The final allocation could differ from the preliminary allocation. The final allocation may include changes in allocations to acquired intangible assets as well as goodwill and other changes to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. Measurement period adjustments, if any, will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined within twelve months from the Acquisition Date. Subsequent to the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed as of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments primarily related to refinements to the preliminary valuation of property, plants, and equipment and working capital. Property, plants, and equipment decreased by approximately $3.5 million and accrued liabilities decreased by approximately $2.2 million.

The following table sets forth the components and the allocation of the purchase price and summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

The fair value of accounts receivable in the table above reflects a reduction of $10.2 million associated with expected credit losses.

The goodwill is attributable primarily to the synergies expected from combining the operations of both entities and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the existing workforce acquired through the acquisition. No portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company amortizes its intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The preliminary fair values allocated to the identifiable intangible assets and their preliminary estimated useful lives are as follows:

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition-related costs consist of miscellaneous professional service fees and expenses for acquisition-related activities and due diligence. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Supplemental pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in the table below represents a summary of the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, assuming the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2024. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had been effective as of that date, or of future results, and includes certain nonrecurring pro forma adjustments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there are adjustments related to the elimination of debt and associated interest expense of $3.3 million at Phoenix Global, interest expense of $3.2 million for borrowings under the Company’s

Revolving Facility to finance the transaction, and reduced expenses from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities upon acquisition of $0.1 million. The income tax effects from the adjustments were offsetting at $0.7 million.

3. Inventories

The components of inventories, net of lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $1.7 million and $2.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were as follows:

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company's goodwill at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, by segment, is summarized below:

Intangible assets, net, includes the intangibles detailed in the table below, excluding fully amortized intangible assets.

Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

5. Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the annual effective tax rate and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the rate as necessary.

The Company's effective tax rate was 20.9 percent and 22.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to losses in jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized, partially offset by earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests that are not subject to tax at the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference primarily reflected the impact of state taxes, compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and a valuation allowance recorded against unused foreign tax credits, partially offset by earnings attributable to the Company’s noncontrolling ownership interests in a partnership.

6. Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

7. Debt

Total debt consisted of the following:

Revolving Facility

As of March 31, 2026, the Revolving Facility had an outstanding balance of $167.0 million, leaving $158.0 million available. Additionally, the Company has certain letters of credit totaling $5.7 million, which does not reduce the Revolving Facility's available balance.

Covenants

Under the terms of the Revolving Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00. The Company's debt agreements contain other covenants and events of default that are customary for similar agreements and may limit our ability to take various actions including our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our stock.

If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the lenders' credit commitment could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the Revolving Facility could be declared immediately due and payable. The Company has a cross default provision that applies to our indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $50.0 million.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants. We do not anticipate violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Legal Matters

Between 2005 and 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (“OEPA”) issued Notices of Violations, alleging violations of air emission operating permits for our Haverhill and Granite City cokemaking facilities. We worked in a cooperative manner with the EPA, the OEPA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) to address the allegations and, in November 2014, entered into a consent decree with these parties in federal district court in the Southern District of Illinois. On March 25, 2025, the consent decree was terminated for the Haverhill facility. The Granite City facility has also completed substantially all consent decree requirements, with the exception of the IEPA finalizing revisions to its air permit. Accordingly, on July 30, 2025, Granite City submitted a termination report to the EPA and IEPA requesting partial termination of the consent decree based on discussions with the agencies.

The Company is a party to certain pending and threatened claims, including matters related to commercial disputes, employment claims, personal injury claims, common law tort claims, and environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some portion of these claims could be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management of the Company believes that any liability which may arise from these claims would likely not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. SunCoke's threshold for disclosing material environmental legal proceedings involving a government authority where potential monetary sanctions are involved is $1 million.

9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value disclosures are reflected in a three-level hierarchy, maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.
• Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
• Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company's cash and cash equivalents were measured at fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. These inputs are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy.

Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated to be $617.2 million and $656.7 million, respectively, compared to a carrying amount of $667.0 million and $693.0 million, respectively. The fair value was estimated by management based upon estimates of debt pricing provided by financial institutions, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

10. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Cokemaking

As of March 31, 2026, our coke sales agreements have approximately 17.8 million tons of unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations, which are expected to be delivered over a weighted average remaining contract term of approximately eight years.

Industrial Services

The following table provides estimated fixed fee and take-or-pay revenue for unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations from all of our multi-year industrial services contracts as of March 31, 2026, which are expected to be recognized over approximately the next 10 years.

Disaggregated Sales and Other Operating Revenue

The following table provides disaggregated sales and other operating revenue by product or service, excluding intersegment revenues:

The following table provides disaggregated sales and other operating revenue by customer:

The following table provides disaggregated sales and other operating revenue by domestic and international:

11. Business Segment Information

Prior to the acquisition of Phoenix Global, the Company consisted of three reportable segments, Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke and Logistics. Following the acquisition, the Company has concluded the Phoenix Global operating segment will be included in a reportable segment, Industrial Services, with the Logistics operating segment. The decision to aggregate results from the similarities between the two businesses including, providing material handling services to industrial manufacturing customers under long-term contracts or annual purchase orders, similar economic characteristics, similar equipment and labor force as well as similar types and often overlapping customers. Additionally, the Company historically elected to present the Brazil cokemaking operations as a separate reportable segment without it meeting the quantitative thresholds requiring separate segment reporting. The Company reassessed this election and will no longer present the Brazil cokemaking operations as a separate reportable segment. Based on the materiality of the Brazil cokemaking operations, Brazil Coke is included in “Corporate and Other.” Following these changes, the Company now consists of two reportable segments, Domestic Coke and Industrial Services. Accordingly, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented herein to reflect this change.

Corporate expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other, which is not a reportable segment, but which also includes licensing and operating fees payable to us under long-term contracts with ArcelorMittal Brazil as well as the expenses related to those operations and activity from our legacy coal mining business.

Segment assets are those assets utilized within a specific segment.

In considering the financial performance of the business, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on Adjusted EBITDA reportable segments, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for any impairments, restructuring costs, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on derivative instruments, site closure costs, transaction costs, and/or corporate/other expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA reportable segments”). The CODM uses this measure to help determine the allocation of costs and resources to our reportable segments. Additionally, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA reportable segments differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following tables include Adjusted EBITDA reportable segments, as defined above, which is a measure of segment profit or loss reported to the CODM for purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance.

(1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

(2) Cost of products sold and other expenses includes coal and transportation costs.

(3) Interest expense, net of $8.7 million reflects (i) consolidated interest expense of $9.9 million and (ii) consolidated interest income of $1.2 million.

(4) Restructuring costs include severance and other related charges primarily associated with the acquisition of Phoenix Global within the Industrial Services reportable segment.

(5) Reflects costs incurred associated with the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility within the Domestic Coke reportable segment and the closure of certain Phoenix Global operating sites within the Industrial Services reportable segment.

(6) Other corporate expenses represents business expenses not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments as well as the Company's Brazil cokemaking operations and are included in Corporate, which is not a reportable segment.

(1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

(2) Cost of products sold and other expenses includes coal and transportation costs.

(3) Interest expense, net of $5.2 million reflects (i) consolidated interest expense of $6.8 million and (ii) consolidated interest income of $1.6 million.

(4) Other corporate expenses represents business expenses not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments as well as the Company's Brazil cokemaking operations and are included in Corporate, which is not a reportable segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (this “Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q”) contains certain forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expected future developments, expectations and intentions, and they involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, our future results and financial condition may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of the factors we describe in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), and as updated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other quarterly and current reports, which are on file with the SEC and are available at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). Additionally, please see our “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” located elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is based on financial data derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and certain other financial data that is prepared using a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP component, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Item 2.

Our MD&A is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

First Quarter Key Financial Results

Our consolidated results of operations were as follows:

(1) See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for both the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation from GAAP to the non-GAAP measurement.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect lower volumes due to the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility as well as the impact of severe winter weather and lower energy revenues due to the turbine failure at our Middletown cokemaking facility. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 also include the results of Flame Aggregator, LLC (“Phoenix Global”). Operating cash flows during the current period primarily reflect favorable changes in primary working capital. See detailed analysis of the quarter's results throughout this MD&A.

Recent Developments

• Haverhill I Shutdown. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed the shutdown of its Haverhill I cokemaking facility.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth amounts from the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively:

Sales and Other Operating Revenue and Costs of Products Sold and Operating Expenses. Sales and other operating revenue and costs of products sold and operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same prior year period, driven by the inclusion of Phoenix Global results. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes as a result of the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility, lower blast coke sales volumes due to the impact of severe winter weather, lower energy revenues due to the turbine failure at our Middletown cokemaking facility and the pass-through of lower coal prices on our long-term, take-or-pay agreements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflecting the inclusion of Phoenix Global costs and costs incurred associated with the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase to depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects the inclusion of Phoenix Global's expense in the current year period.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased as a result of interest incurred on higher Revolving Facility borrowings.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. Income taxes were a benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as a result of the pretax loss in the current year period, driven by the factors previously discussed, compared to pretax income in the comparative prior year period. See Note 5 Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail.

Noncontrolling Interest. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents a 14.8 percent third-party interest in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility and fluctuates with the financial performance of that facility.

Results of Reportable Business Segments

Following the acquisition of Phoenix Global and as discussed in Note 11 Business Segment Information, we updated our reportable segments and have recast all segment information for all prior periods presented herein to reflect this change.

We report our business results through two reportable segments:

• Domestic Coke consists of our Jewell facility, located in Virginia, our Indiana Harbor facility, located in Indiana, our Granite City facility located in Illinois, and our Middletown and Haverhill facilities located in Ohio.
• Industrial Services consists of logistics terminals including CMT, located in Louisiana, KRT, located in West Virginia, and Lake Terminal, located in Indiana. Lake Terminal is located adjacent to our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. Additionally, Industrial Services includes fifteen molten slag removal, handling and processing operating sites across the United States, Brazil, Slovakia and Spain.

Corporate expenses that can be identified with a segment have been included in determining segment results. The remainder is included in Corporate and Other, including licensing and operating fees payable to us under long-term contracts with ArcelorMittal Brazil as well as the expenses related to those operations and activity from our legacy coal mining business, which is not considered a reportable segment and therefore, not included in our segment information in Note 11. However, we have included Corporate and Other within our operating data below.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance, which is used by the CODM as one of the measurements to help determine the allocation of costs and resources to our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for both the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation from GAAP to the non-GAAP measurement.

Segment Financial and Operating Data

The following tables set forth financial and operating data by segment:

(1) Corporate and Other, net is not a reportable segment and includes the results of Brazil cokemaking operations.

(2) See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for both the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation from GAAP to the non-GAAP measurement.

(3) The production of foundry coke tons does not replace blast furnace coke tons on a ton for ton basis, as foundry coke requires longer coking time. The Domestic Coke capacity utilization is calculated assuming a single ton of foundry coke replaces approximately two tons of blast furnace coke.

(4) Reflects Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA divided by Domestic Coke sales volumes.

Analysis of Segment Results

Domestic Coke

The following table sets forth year-over-year changes in the Domestic Coke segment's sales and other operating revenues and Adjusted EBITDA results:

(1) Volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased due to the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility as well as lower blast coke sales volumes as a result of severe winter weather.

(2) The pass-through of lower coal prices decreased sales and other operating revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Sales and other operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased as a result of lower pricing on our foundry sales.

(3) Energy and other during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased due to the turbine failure at our Middletown cokemaking facility, which was partially offset by favorable pricing during the current year period.

Industrial Services

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, sales and other operating revenues, exclusive of intersegment sales, were $85.4 million, compared to $22.4 million in the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of the impact of intersegment transactions, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $26.2 million compared to $13.7 million in the corresponding prior year period. Industrial services results increased during the current year period due to the inclusion of Phoenix Global results, partially offset by lower transloading volumes.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA represented a loss of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of $3.8 million in the corresponding prior year period. The three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect higher employee related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have provided a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. Our management, as well as certain investors, use this non-GAAP measure to analyze our current and expected future financial performance. This measure is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as 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 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 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 GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for net income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

(1) Restructuring costs include severance and other related charges primarily associated with the acquisition of Phoenix Global.

(2) Reflects costs incurred related to the acquisition of Phoenix Global.

(3) Reflects costs incurred associated with the shutdown of our Haverhill I cokemaking facility and the closure of certain Phoenix Global operating sites.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund working capital and investments, service our debt, maintain cash reserves and replace partially or fully depreciated assets and other capital expenditures. Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Facility and, from time to time, debt and equity offerings. We believe our current resources are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our current business for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, we had $104.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $158.0 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Facility.

We have not provided foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes and federal and state taxes on foreign currency gains/losses on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings. We do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase additional amounts of our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. Refer to “Part II Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

Cash Flow Summary

The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $46.9 million to $72.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $25.8 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase primarily reflects favorable changes in primary working capital, which is comprised of accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable, driven by lower coal inventory volumes.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $11.1 million to $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $4.6 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase is primarily related to the inclusion of capital expenditures for Phoenix Global in the current year period. This increase was partially offset by $1.8 million received primarily related to the settlement of final working capital for the Phoenix Global acquisition during the current year period. Refer to “Capital Requirements and Expenditures” below for further detail.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $24.2 million to $41.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $17.1 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by net repayments of $26.0 million on the Revolving Facility and an increase in repayments of finance lease liabilities of $1.8 million. These increases in the current year period were partially offset by lower cash distributions made to noncontrolling interests of $1.5 million as well as lower cash remittances of $2.0 million for taxes related to vestings on equity classified awards.

On January 30, 2026, SunCoke's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of the Company's common stock. This dividend was paid on March 2, 2026, to stockholders of record on February 17, 2026.

Additionally, on April 30, 2026, SunCoke's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of the Company's common stock. This dividend will be paid on June 2, 2026, to stockholders of record on May 15, 2026.

Covenants

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants. We do not anticipate a violation of these covenants nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for details on debt covenants.

Capital Requirements and Expenditures

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring significant investment to upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. The level of future capital expenditures will depend on various factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and customer requirements, and may differ from current or anticipated levels. Material changes in capital expenditure levels may impact financial results, including but not limited to the amount of depreciation, interest expense and repair and maintenance expense.

Our capital requirements have consisted, and are expected to consist, primarily of:

• Ongoing capital expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, the integrity and safety of our coke ovens, steam generators and assets at our terminals and operating sites and to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing capital expenditures are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to

maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and/or to extend their useful lives and also include new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capital expenditures do not include normal repairs and maintenance expenses, which are expensed as incurred;

• Expansion capital expenditures to acquire and/or construct complementary assets to grow our business and to expand existing facilities as well as capital expenditures made to grow our business through new markets or enable the renewal of a coke sales agreement and/or industrial services agreement and on which we expect to earn a reasonable return; and
• Environmental project expenditures to ensure that our existing facilities operate in accordance with changing regulations.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are currently in the process of assessing and integrating Phoenix Global's internal control over financial reporting with our existing internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Certain legal and administrative proceedings are pending or may be brought against us arising out of our current and past operations, including matters related to commercial disputes, employment claims, personal injury claims, common law tort claims, and general environmental claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some of them could be resolved unfavorably to us.
