Description of Business
SunCoke Energy, Inc. (“SunCoke Energy,” “SunCoke,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is the largest independent producer of high-quality coke in the Americas, as measured by tons of coke produced each year, and has more than 60 years of coke production experience. Coke is produced by heating metallurgical coal in a refractory oven, which releases certain volatile components from the coal, thus transforming the coal into coke. Our coke is primarily used as a principal raw material in the blast furnace steelmaking process as well as in the foundry production of casted iron, and the majority of our sales are derived from blast furnace coke sales made under long-term, take-or-pay agreements. We also sell coke produced utilizing capacity in excess of that reserved for our long-term, take-or-pay agreements to customers in both the export and North American domestic coke markets seeking high-quality product for their blast furnaces. We have designed, developed and built, and we currently own and operate, five cokemaking facilities in the United States (“U.S.”) with collective nameplate capacity to produce approximately 4.2 million tons of blast furnace coke per year. Additionally, we designed and currently operateone cokemaking facility in Brazil under licensing and operating agreements on behalf of ArcelorMittal Brasil S.A. (“ArcelorMittal Brazil”), which has approximately 1.7 million tons of annual cokemaking capacity. Our cokemaking ovens utilize efficient, modern heat recovery technology designed to combust the coal’s volatile components liberated during the cokemaking process and use the resulting heat to create steam or electricity for sale.
We also own and operate an industrial services business that provides export and domestic material handling and/or mixing services to coke, coal, steel, power and other bulk customers, as well as mission-critical mill services to leading steel producers globally. Our logistics terminals have the collective capacity to mix and transload more than 40 million tons of coal and other products annually and have storage capacity of approximately 3 million tons. These terminals are strategically located to reach Gulf Coast, East Coast, Great Lakes and international ports. Industrial services also include the removal, handling, and processing of molten slag at customer sites, as well as preparation and transportation of metal scraps, raw materials, and finished products.

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 $295.8 million.
