Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Convent Marine Terminal Estimated Third Quarter 2016 Deferred Revenue

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) (the “Company”) estimates preliminary third quarter 2016 take-or-pay deferred revenue at its Convent Marine Terminal (“CMT”) to be $8.8 million based on actual third quarter shipments. The cumulative year-to-date take-or-pay billings through September 30, 2016, which are included in deferred revenue, are estimated to be $27.1 million based on actual volumes at CMT through the first nine months of the year. This deferred revenue will be reflected in Adjusted EBITDA when recognized as GAAP revenue, typically at the end of the annual contract period, or in the fourth quarter ending December 31 of each year.

On July 5, 2016, in response to the Securities & Exchange Commission’s updated interpretation of the appropriate use of non-GAAP financial measures (specifically regarding revenue recognition), the Company announced that its definition of Adjusted EBITDA has been revised to exclude deferred revenue until it is recognized as GAAP revenue. All prior periods have been restated to include this revision.

Upcoming Third Quarter 2016 Earnings Date

As previously announced, the Company plans to release its third quarter 2016 financial results on Thursday, October 20, 2016, before trading opens on the New York Stock Exchange.

SXC will host its quarterly earnings call at 11:00 am ET on October 20, 2016. The conference call will be webcast live and archived for replay in the Investors section of www.suncoke.com. Investors may participate in this call by dialing 1-877-201-0168 in the U.S. or 1-647-788-4901 if outside the U.S., confirmation code 89766307.
