Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary
The call was strongly positive overall. SunCoke reported higher consolidated and segment Adjusted EBITDA, expects to exceed the high end of its full-year EBITDA guidance, increased free cash flow guidance to $180 million-$185 million, reduced debt, maintained its dividend, and completed the Algoma settlement after being made whole. The main challenges were lower Domestic Coke volumes from the Haverhill I shutdown, higher corporate expenses, expected fourth-quarter Industrial Services moderation, uncertainty around the timing of the Middletown turbine insurance recovery, and contract renewals still under discussion.
SunCoke expects full-year 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to modestly exceed the high end of its guidance range of $250 million-$265 million; Domestic Coke is well-positioned to achieve the high-end of its full-year 2026 Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $172 million to $178 million, while Industrial Services is expected to exceed the high-end of its full-year 2026 Industrial Services Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $110 million-$115 million. The company increased free cash flow guidance to a range of $180 million-$185 million, expects to exceed the 24 million and the 22 million full-year volume guidance figures laid out for terminals and Phoenix, respectively, and expects Industrial Services fourth-quarter results to be somewhere closer to Q1 or in between the Q1 and the Q3 range. The insurance recovery for the Middletown turbine is not included in guidance; if payment is received in 2026, SunCoke will significantly exceed the high end of its guidance range.
- Strong Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA GrowthThird-quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $76.9 million, an increase of $17.8 million from the prior-year period. Domestic Coke benefited from a favorable mix of contract and spot coke sales and favorable coal-to-coke yields, while Industrial Services benefited from one additional month of Phoenix results and higher terminal handling volumes.
- Algoma Settlement CompletedSunCoke reached a settlement agreement related to its 2025 claim against Algoma Steel, executed in October, and management confirmed that the company was made whole. The impact of the settlement and mitigation steps is reflected in 2026 guidance.
- Consolidated EBITDA Guidance RaisedBased on year-to-date results and the outlook for the remainder of the year, SunCoke expects full-year 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to modestly exceed the high end of its $250 million to $265 million guidance range.
- Domestic Coke EBITDA ImprovementThird-quarter Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA was $51.1 million, compared with $44.0 million in the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily driven by a change in the mix of contract and spot coke sales and favorable coal-to-coke yields.
- Domestic Coke Guidance on TrackSunCoke expects to achieve the high end of its full-year 2026 Domestic Coke Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $172 million to $178 million.
- Industrial Services EBITDA SurgeIndustrial Services Adjusted EBITDA increased to $32.1 million from $18.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting one additional month of Phoenix results and higher terminal handling volumes.
- Industrial Services Guidance Expected to Be ExceededSunCoke now expects to exceed the high end of its full-year 2026 Industrial Services Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $110 million to $115 million.
- Strong Industrial Services VolumesThird-quarter terminal handling volumes were 6.4 million tons, and steel customer volumes serviced were 5.9 million tons.
- Ample Liquidity and Reduced LeverageSunCoke ended the third quarter with approximately $276 million of liquidity and gross leverage of 2.34 times on a trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA basis.
- Strong Operating Cash Flow and Debt PaydownNet cash provided by operating activities was $94.8 million in the third quarter. SunCoke used $53.5 million to pay down its revolver balance and stated that it has reduced debt substantially year to date.
- Free Cash Flow Outlook IncreasedSunCoke increased its full-year free cash flow guidance to $180 million-$185 million, reflecting the impact of the Algoma settlement, and expects steady free cash flow generation through the balance of the year.
- Continued Dividend and Shareholder ReturnsThe company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share payable December 1, 2026. This is the 29th consecutive quarterly dividend, and management expects the dividend to continue as part of its capital allocation strategy.
- Jewell Flood Insurance RecoveriesSunCoke received total insurance recoveries of $8.7 million related to the 2023 Jewell flood event. Of that amount, $1.8 million was included in Adjusted EBITDA and $6.9 million was recorded in net income but excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
- Coke Business Sold Out for 2026With the Haverhill II and Granite City cokemaking contracts in place and all spot blast and foundry coke sales finalized, SunCoke stated that it is sold out for the full year.
- Phoenix and Logistics Growth PositionPhoenix is performing as expected, and 2026 will benefit from a full year of Phoenix Adjusted EBITDA. SunCoke also cited solid market conditions at its terminals and said it is focused on growing both its Phoenix and logistics businesses.
- Expected Full-Year Volume Guidance OutperformanceSunCoke expects to exceed the 24 million terminal-volume and 22 million Phoenix-volume figures laid out at the start of the year.
- Middletown Turbine Returned to ServiceThe Middletown turbine returned to service in May, and power resumed with operations working as expected.
- Safety and Environmental CommitmentManagement stated that safety remains the company's first priority and that the team remains committed to maintaining strong safety and environmental performance throughout the year.
- Positive 2027 Contract and Business MomentumSunCoke is in active discussions regarding the Javelin contract at CMT and the U.S. Steel Nippon contract at Granite City Works, and management expects to move forward with both parties in 2027. Management also cited good momentum going into 2027.
- Ongoing Investment and Profitable Growth FocusThe company said it remains focused on profitable growth opportunities and on operating and investing in its assets in the best and most efficient way possible to support customers and grow the business.
- Convent Price Kicker BenefitSunCoke stated that it is receiving the Convent price kicker under the updated structure, which is based more on the New Orleans price rather than directly on export coal prices.
