SunCoke Energy, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General
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. Blast furnace coke is a principal raw material in the blast furnace steelmaking process and is produced by heating metallurgical coal in a refractory oven, which releases certain volatile components from the coal, thus transforming the coal into coke. Additionally, we own and operate a logistics business, which primarily provides handling and/or mixing services of coal and other aggregates to third-party customers as well as to our own cokemaking facilities.
We have designed, developed and built, and we currently own and operate, 5 cokemaking facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), which consist of our Haverhill, Middletown, Granite City, Jewell and Indiana Harbor cokemaking facilities. Our cokemaking facilities have collective nameplate capacity to produce approximately 4.2 million tons of blast furnace coke per year. Our blast furnace coke sales are largely made pursuant to long-term, take-or-pay agreements with Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Holding Corporation and Cleveland-Cliffs Steel LLC, both subsidiaries of Cleveland Cliffs Inc. ("Cliffs") and collectively referred to as "Cliffs Steel," and United States Steel Corporation (“U.S. Steel”). Cliffs Steel and U.S. Steel are two of the largest blast furnace steelmakers in North America. Additionally, we have designed and currently operate 1 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.
In order to further diversify our business and customer base, we have entered the foundry coke market. Foundry coke is a high-quality grade of coke that is used at foundries to melt iron and various metals in cupola furnaces, which is further processed via casting or molding into products used in various industries such as construction, transportation and industrial products. We began producing and selling foundry coke on a commercial scale in 2021. We also began selling blast furnace coke into the export coke market in 2021, utilizing capacity in excess of that reserved for our long-term, take-or-pay agreements.
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. This differs from by-product cokemaking, which repurposes the coal’s liberated volatile components for other uses. We have constructed the only greenfield cokemaking facilitiesThe majority of our coke is used in the U.S. in approximately 30 yearsblast furnace production of steel and are the only North American coke producer that utilizes heat recovery technology in the cokemaking process. We provide steam pursuant to steam supply and purchaseis sold under long-term, take-or-pay agreements with our steelmaking customers. ElectricityOur coke is sold intoalso used in the regional power market or pursuantfoundry production of casted iron, as well as exported to energy sales agreements.international customers seeking high-quality products for their blast furnaces.
OurWe also own and operate a logistics business that provides handling and/or mixing services to steel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility, coal producing and other manufacturing based customers. Our logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal (“CMT”), Kanawha River Terminal (“KRT”), SunCoke Lake Terminal (“Lake Terminal”) and Dismal River Terminal (“DRT”) and has the collective capacity to mix and/or transload more than 40 million tons of coal and other aggregates annually and has total storage capacity of approximately 3 million tons.
Incorporated in Delaware in 2010 and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, we became a publicly-traded company in 2011 and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SXC.”

4. Income Taxes
At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the rate as necessary.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.2 million and $17.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.5 percent and 25.7 percent, respectively, and an income tax benefit of $4.7 million duringfor the three months ended June 30, 2021 and income tax expense of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulting in an effective tax ratesrate of 38.5 percent and 19.5 percent, respectively, as compared torespectively. During both the 21.0 percent federal statutory rate. Thethree and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the difference between the Company’sCompany's effective tax ratesrate and the federal statutory rate wasof 21.0 percent primarily impacted byreflects the impact of state taxes as well as compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The impact of state taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 included the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities due to changes in apportioned state tax rates, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $1.0 million recorded during the first quarter of 2022. The impact of state taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2021 included changes in state tax laws, resultingwhich resulted in a state tax benefit of $1.3 million recorded during the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Company's effective tax rates are impacted by state taxes and disallowed expenses slightly offset by net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Indiana Harbor partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million and $12.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.0 percent and 47.9 percent, respectively, as compared to the 21.0 percent federal statutory rate. Differences between the Company's effective tax rates and the federal statutory rate during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets due to lower apportioned state tax rates, which resulted in $6.5 million of deferred income tax expense. Additionally, the tax law passed in response to COVID-19, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, enacted March 27, 2020, allowed the Company to carry back net operating losses generated in 2019 to each

Issuance of 2029 Senior Notes
On June 22, 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes with an interest rate of 4.875 percent due in June 2029. The Company received proceeds of $500.0 million from the issuance and incurred debt issuance costs related to this transaction of $9.4 million, which are included in long-term debt and financing obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021. The 2029 Senior Notes are the senior secured obligations of the Company. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at its option, in whole or part, at the dates and amounts set forth in the applicable indenture.
The applicable indenture for the 2029 Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and, in certain circumstances, the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to (i) borrow money, (ii) create liens on assets, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions on or repurchase or redeem the Company's capital stock, (iv) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, (v) make loans and investments, (vi) sell assets, (vii) incur liens, (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (ix) enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends and (x) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
Purchase and Redemption of 2025 Senior Notes
During the second quarter of 2021, pursuant to the applicable indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation as trustee ("Trustee"), the Trustee delivered redemption notices to holders of the 2025 Senior Notes. The principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes redeemed was $587.3 million, which represented all of the outstanding principal of the 2025

Senior Notes at 100 percent. On June 22, 2021, the proceeds required for redemption, including the applicable premium and accrued interest totaling $612.1 million, were irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, at which time the 2025 Senior Notes were fully satisfied and discharged, and held by the Trustee until the date of redemption, July 8, 2021. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $31.1 million, which consisted of the premium paid of $22.0 million and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $6.1 million and the remaining original issue discount of $3.0 million.

Revolving Facility
On June 22, 2021, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company amended and extended the maturity of its Revolving Facility from August 2024 to June 2026 and reduced its capacity by $50.0 million to $350.0 million, resulting in additional debt issuance costs of $1.6 million, which are included in long-term debt and financing obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $0.8 million, representing the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Revolving Facility had letters of credit outstanding of $12.1 million and a $153.0$100.0 million outstanding balance, leaving $184.9$250.0 million available. Additionally, the Company has certain letters of credit totaling $11.5$23.6 million, which do 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 $35.0 million.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company was 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.

7. 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 (“NOVs”), 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 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. The consent decree included a civil penalty paid in December 2014, and a commitment to undertake capital projects to improve reliability and enhance environmental performance. The Haverhill project was completed in 2016, but completion of the Granite City project was delayed to June 2019, with SunCoke agreeing to pay an immaterial amount associated with the delay.

Table of Contents
Between 2010 and 2016, SunCoke Energy also received certain NOVs, Findings of Violations (“FOVs”), and information requests from the EPA, alleging violations of air operating permit conditions related to our Indiana Harbor cokemaking facility. To reach a settlement of these NOVs and FOVs, we met regularly with the EPA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and Cokenergy, LLC., an independent power producer that processes hot flue gas from our Indiana Harbor facility to reduce the sulfur and particulate content and produce steam and electricity. A consent decree among the parties was entered by the federal district court in the Northern District of Indiana during the fourth quarter of 2018. The settlement included a civil penalty paid in the fourth quarter of 2018, and implementation of certain capital projects, completed during the fourth quarter of 2019, to improve reliability and environmental performance of the coke ovens at the facility.
The Company is a party to certain other 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 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 $1.0 million.
Black Lung Benefit Liabilities
The Company has obligations related to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, or black lung, benefits to certain of its former coal miners and their dependents. Such benefits are provided for under Title IV of the Federal Coal Mine and Safety Act of 1969 and subsequent amendments, as well as for black lung benefits provided in the states of Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia pursuant to workers’ compensation legislation. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”), which was implemented in 2010, amended previous legislation related to coal workers’ black lung obligations. PPACA provides for the automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and changes the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. On February 1, 2013, SunCoke obtained commercial insurance for black lung claims in excess of a deductible for employees with a last date of employment after that date. Also during 2013, we were reauthorized to continue to self-insure black lung liabilities incurred prior to February 1, 2013 by the U.S. Department of Labor's Division of Coal Mine Workers' Compensation ("DCMWC") in exchange for $8.4 million of collateral.
We adjust our liability each year based upon actuarial calculations of our expected future payments for these benefits. Our independent actuarial consultants calculate the present value of the estimated black lung liability annually based on

Table of Contents
actuarial models utilizing our population of former coal miners, historical payout patterns of both the Company and the industry, actuarial mortality rates, disability incidence, medical costs, death benefits, dependents, discount rates and the current federally mandated payout rates. The estimated liability may be impacted by future changes in the statutory mechanisms, modifications by court decisions and changes in filing patterns driven by perceptions of success by claimants and their advisors, the impact of which cannot be estimated. The estimated liability was $66.4$64.8 million and $64.6$63.3 million at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, of which the current portion of $4.6$5.4 million was included in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in both periods.
On February 1, 2013, SunCoke obtained commercial insurance for black lung claims in excess of a deductible for employees with a last date of employment after that date. Also during 2013, we were reauthorized to continue to self-insure black lung liabilities incurred prior to February 1, 2013 by the U.S. Department of Labor's Division of Coal Mine Workers' Compensation ("DCMWC") in exchange for $8.4 million of collateral. In July 2019, the DCMWC required that SunCoke, along with a number of other companies, file an application and supporting documentation for reauthorization to self-insure our legacy black lung obligations incurred prior to February 1, 2013. The Company provided the requested information in the fourth quarter of 2019. The DCMWC subsequently notified the Company in a letter dated February 21, 2020 that the Company was reauthorized to self-insure certain of its black lung obligations; however, the reauthorization is contingent upon the Company providing collateral of $40.4 million to secure certain of its black lung obligations. This proposed collateral requirement is a substantial increase from the $8.4 million in collateral that the Company currently provides to secure these self-insured black lung obligations.

10. 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 from the sale of 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
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 June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 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 June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the fair value of the Company’s total debt was estimated to be $666.3511.7 million and $683.9$625.1 million, respectively, compared to a carrying amount of $666.5$610.4 million and $690.5$627.0 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.
11. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Cokemaking
Our blast furnace coke sales are largely made pursuant to long-term, take-or-pay coke sales agreements primarily with Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Holding Corporation and Cleveland-Cliffs Steel LLC, both subsidiaries of Cleveland Cliffs Inc. and collectively referred to as "Cliffs Steel", United States Steel Corporation ("U.S. Steel"), and U.S.Algoma Steel who are two of the largest blast furnace steelmakers in North America.Inc. The take-or-pay provisions in our agreements require our customers to purchase coke volumes as specified in the agreements or pay the contract price for any tonnage they do not purchase. The take-or-pay provisions of our agreements also require us to deliver minimum annual tonnage. OurAs of June 30, 2022, our coke sales agreements have approximately 15.513.3 million tons of unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations, which are expected to be delivered over a weighted average remaining contract term of approximately sevensix years.
Foundry coke sales are generally made under annual agreements with our customers for an agreed upon price and do not contain take-or-pay volume commitments. Export coke sales are generally made on a spot basis at the current market price.
Revenues on all coke sales are recognized when performance obligations to our customers are satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for the coke.

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, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt.debt and transaction costs. 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

Overview
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. Blast furnace coke is a principal raw material in the blast furnace steelmaking process and is produced by heating metallurgical coal in a refractory oven, which releases certain volatile components from the coal, thus transforming the coal into coke. We also own and operate a logistics business that primarily provides handling and/or mixing services to steel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility, coal producing and other manufacturing based customers.     
Cokemaking
We have designed, developed and built, and we currently own and operate, five cokemaking facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), which consist of our Haverhill, Middletown, Granite City, Jewell and Indiana Harbor cokemaking facilities. These five cokemaking facilities have collective nameplate capacity to produce approximately 4.2 million tons of blast furnace coke per year. Additionally, we have designed and currently operate one 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 core business modelcokemaking 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. The majority of our coke is predicated on providing steelmakers an alternative to investing capitalused in their own captive coke production facilities. We direct our marketing efforts principally towards steelmaking customers that require coke for use in their blast furnaces. Ourthe blast furnace coke sales are largely made pursuant toproduction of steel and is sold under long-term, take-or-pay agreements with Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Holding Corporation and Cleveland-Cliffs Steel LLC, both subsidiaries of Cleveland Cliffs Inc. ("Cliffs") and collectively referred to as "Cliffs Steel," and United States Steel Corporation ("U.S. Steel"). Cliffs Steel and U.S. Steel are two of the largest blast furnace steelmakers in North America. These coke sales agreements have a weighted average remaining term of approximately seven years based on contracted tons and contain pass-through provisions for costs we incur in the cokemaking process, including coal costs (subject to meeting contractual coal-to-coke yields), operating and maintenance expenses, costs related to the transportation of coke to our customers, taxes (other than income taxes) and costs associated with changes in regulation. The coal component of the Jewell coke price is based on the weighted-average contract price of third-party coal purchases at our Haverhill facility applicable to Cliffs Steel coke sales.
In order to further diversify our business and customer base, we have entered the foundry coke market. Foundry coke is a high-quality grade of coke that is used at foundries to melt iron and various metals in cupola furnaces, which is further processed via casting or molding into products used in various industries such as construction, transportation and industrial products. We began producing and selling foundry coke on a commercial scale in 2021. We also began selling blast furnace coke into the export coke market in 2021, utilizing capacity in excess of that reserved for our long-term, take-or-pay agreements.

U.S. steel production utilization rates have continued to strengthen throughout the first half of 2021, benefiting our steelmaking customers. Utilization has increased from 75 percentOur coke is also used in January 2021 to 83 percent in June 2021. We expect continued strength of U.S. steel production utilization rates throughout 2021. Additionally, an increase in global steel demand has benefited our export coke sales.
Our Granite City facility and the first phase of our Haverhill facility, or Haverhill I, have steam generation facilities, which use hot flue gas from the cokemaking process to produce steam for sale to customers, pursuant to steam supply and purchase agreements. Granite City sells steam to U.S. Steel and Haverhill I provides steam, at minimal cost, to Altivia Petrochemicals, LLC. Our Middletown facility and the second phase of our Haverhill facility, or Haverhill II, have cogeneration plants that use the hot flue gas created by the cokemaking process to generate electricity, which either is sold into the regional power market or to Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Holding Corporation pursuant to energy sales agreements.

(2)The Middletown coke sales agreement provides for coke sales on a “run of oven” basis, which includes both blast furnace coke and small coke. Middletown nameplate capacity on a “run of oven” basis is 578 thousand tons per year.
Logistics
Our logistics business consists of Convent Marine Terminal (“CMT”), Kanawha River Terminal (“KRT”), Lake Terminal and Dismal River Terminal (“DRT”). CMT is located in Convent, Louisiana, with strategic access to seaborne markets for coal and other industrial materials. The terminal provides loading and unloading services and has direct rail access and has the current capability to transload 15 million tons annually with its top of the line shiploader. The facility serves coal mining customerscasted iron, as well as other merchantexported to international customers seeking high-quality products for their blast furnaces.
We also own and operate a logistics business including aggregates (crushed stone), petroleum coke and iron ore. CMT's efficient barge unloading capabilities complement its rail and truck offerings and provide the terminal with the ability to transload and mix a significantly broader variety of materials, including coal, petroleum coke and other materials from barges at its dock. KRT is a leading metallurgical and thermal coal mixing andthat provides handling terminal service provider with collective capacity to mix and transload 25 million tons annually through its two operations in West Virginia. Lake Terminal and DRT provide coal handling andand/or mixing services to SunCoke's Indiana Harborsteel, coke (including some of our domestic cokemaking facilities), electric utility, coal producing and Jewell cokemaking operations, respectively.
other manufacturing based customers. Our logistics business has the collective capacity to mix and/or transload more than 40 million tons of coal and other aggregates annually and has storage capacity of approximately 3 million tons. Our terminals act as intermediaries between our customers

Certain CMT customers arenot impacted by seaborne export market dynamics. Fluctuationsglobal coke trade imbalance and the fluctuation of coke prices.
During the first half of 2022, natural gas prices have remained high, continuing to increase global demand for coal to meet European energy needs. Additionally, geopolitical events discussed above have further contributed to the increased coal demand in Europe. Higher demand has driven up the benchmark price for coal delivery into northwest Europe, as referenced in the Argus/McCloskey's Coal Price Index Report ("API2 index price"), as well as Newcastle index coal prices, as referenced in the Argus/McCloskey's Coal Price Index ("API6 index price"), which reflect low-ash coal prices shipped from Australia, contribute to our customers' decisions to place tons into the export market and thus impact transloading volumes through CMT. Higher natural gas prices in Europe resulted in anEurope. The increase in global demand for coal has benefited certain CMT customers and an increase in API2 prices during the first half of 2021, resulting in a strong export coal market and higheris expected to continue to favorably impact export coal volumes through CMT as compared to the same prior year period. The API2 forward curve projections indicate continued strength in the coal export market throughout 2021well as global demand continues to increase.our handling rates.
Our KRT terminals serve two primary domestic markets, metallurgical coal trade and thermal coal trade. Metallurgical markets are primarily impacted by steel prices and blast furnace operating levels whereas thermal markets are impacted by natural gas prices and electricity demand. In 2021, our cokemaking facilities are operating at full capacity. We continue to expect throughput volumes

Results in the first half of 20212022 reflect strong operating performance, primarily driven by an increase in volumes in our Logistics segment and the successful execution offavorable pricing on our export coke sales. This was partially offset by lower Domestic Coke volumes resulting from timing of maintenance outages and foundry coke initiatives. oven repairs. Operating cash flows during the current year period primarily reflect higher coal prices and timing of payments.See detailed analysis of the quarter's results throughout the MD&A. SeeSee Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.
Recent Developments
Granulated Pig Iron Project. On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with U.S. Steel. The letter of intent sets out the principal terms and conditions upon which SunCoke would acquire two blast furnaces from U.S. Steel's Granite City Works facility and construct a granulated pig iron facility with an annual capacity of 2 million tons to be sold to U.S. Steel for a ten year initial term.
Items Impacting Comparability
2021 Debt Refinancing.During the second quarter of 2021, the Company refinanced its debt obligations. The Company issued $500.0 million of 4.875 percent 2029 Senior Notes, amended and extended the maturity of its Revolving Facility to June 2026 and reduced the Revolving Facility capacity by $50.0 million to $350.0 million. The Company used the proceeds of the 2029 Senior Notes along with borrowings under the Company's Revolving Facility to purchase and redeem all of the 7.500 percent 2025 Senior Notes.senior notes due in 2025. As a result of the debt refinancing and revolver amendment, the six monthsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2021 included a loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $31.9 million, which consisted of the premium paid of $22.0 million and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $6.9 million and the remaining original issue discount of $3.0 million. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the debt refinancing.


2021 Guidance.
Throughout the first half of 2021, increased global demand for coal and an increase in API2 prices resulted in higher volumes through CMT. Forward curve projections of API2 prices indicate continued strength in the coal export market throughout the second half of 2021. Additionally, we expect the strong global steel market to continue to drive demand for export and foundry coke throughout 2021. As a result, SunCoke is well positioned to exceed our original guidance range of $215 million to $230 million, and now expects 2021 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $255 million to $265 million.

Analysis of Segment Results
Domestic Coke
Historically, SunCoke's analysis of our Domestic Coke segment has aligned with the pass-through nature of our long-term, take-or-pay contracts, including analysis of the prices of coal passed through and the reimbursement of operating maintenance spending as compared to prior year periods. Beginning in 2021, our Domestic Coke business has expanded into the export coke market and the foundry coke market. These sales do not contain the same pass-through provisions as our long-term, take-or-pay contracts. Therefore, the analysis of our Domestic Coke results has evolved to allow for the inclusion of these sales. The impact of fluctuating coal prices, including the value of coal-to-coke yield gains and losses, and indexed operating and maintenance reimbursement rates are now presented as price variances along with the impact of export and foundry sales prices as compared to prior period sales prices.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from lower legacy related expenses of $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and the absence of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of foundry related research and development costs incurred in 2020, as well as lower professional services. These benefits2022 were offsetprimarily impacted by higher employee related costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021expenses as compared to the same prior year periods, and unfavorable period-over-period, mark-to-market adjustments in deferred compensation driven by changes in the Company's share prices duringhigher cost of professional services. During the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022, these costs were partially offset by a $1.2 million favorable change in period-over-period, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation as compared to the same prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund working capital, fund 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. However, the Company continues to evaluate whether any borrowings or other actions are needed to safeguard the business amidst the fluid market conditions and the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had $51.7$63.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $184.9$250.0 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Facility.

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 further liquidity discussion below as well as Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements and Part"Part II Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds."
During the first quarter of 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor's Division of Coal Mine Workers' Compensation (“DCMWC”) requested SunCoke to provide additional collateral of approximately $32 million to secure certain of its black lung obligations. SunCoke exercised its right to appeal the DCMWC’s determination and provided additional information supporting the Company’s position in May 2020 and February 2021. If the Company’s appeal is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to provide additional collateral to receive its self-insurance reauthorization from the DCMWC, which could potentially reduce the Company’s liquidity. See further discussion in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
