SunCoke Energy’s second-quarter financial report showed strong sequential and year-over-year improvements.
During the Lisle, Ill.-based company’s earnings presentation, SunCoke said its Middletown turbine went back online. It noted its Industrial Services segment led its success in Q2. It said lower domestic coke sales were offset by the performance of its Phoenix acquisition and stronger terminal volumes.
Despite lower volumes, its margins on domestic coke improved. The improvement reflects stronger coal-to-coke yields and operating performance.
In Suncoke’s statement, CEO Katherine Gates lauded the performance of both the coking and Industrial Services segments.
“Our second quarter results reflect very strong operating performance from our Industrial Services and Domestic Coke businesses,” said Gates.
“Industrial Services had its best quarter to date for Adjusted EBITDA since the acquisition of Phoenix, while our domestic coke segment benefited from favorable coal-to-coke yields due to improved operating conditions. Additionally, we successfully returned the Middletown turbine to service in May,” she said.
Gates expects the company’s financial position to remain strong headed into the second half of 2026.
