(1) Distribution growth calculation methodology is as follows:
Total 3-year CAGR is 19.6%, placing SXCP 14th out of more than 130 companies in MLP universe
If company has not been public long enough to calculate 3 year CAGR, longest available full year period used to calculate “lifetime” CAGR
If company did not have full 4 quarters of distributions, declared distributions for that year period annualized
Initial distribution removed (where applicable) if stub period skewed CAGR calculation (e.g., SXCP’s 1st distr. was pro-rata amount of MQD) (2) MQD – Minimum quarterly distribution.
(3) Based on 2015 guidance of 2% distribution growth per quarter

SXCP Distribution Outlook
SXCP distribution growth fueled by remaining coke dropdowns coupled with greenfield projects & M&A opportunities
Distributable Cash Flow Growth Drivers Distribution Growth Implications
Anticipate distribution growth of 2% per quarter in 2015
Dropdowns from SXC
Expect dropdowns alone can support 8% – 10% cash distribution CAGR through ’16
Greenfield • Evaluating tightening distribution cash coverage, which would provide further Projects at SXC flexibility to grow distributions
Greenfield opportunities plus acquisitions can provide additional upside and/or extend growth runway

Definitions
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for sales discounts. Prior to the expiration of our nonconventional fuel tax credits in June 2012, EBITDA reflects sales discounts included as a reduction in sales and other operating revenue. The sales discounts represent the sharing with customers of a portion of nonconventional fuel tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since they represent sharing of a tax benefit that is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. 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 of the operating performance of the SXCP’s net assets and 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is not defined by GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to SXC/SXCP equals Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA/Ton represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by tons sold.
Investor Meetings – March 2015

Definitions
Distributable Cash Flow equals Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest expense, ongoing capital expenditures, accruals for replacement capital expenditures, and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; plus amounts received under the Omnibus Agreement and acquisition expenses deemed to be Expansion Capital under our Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of SXCP financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies use to assess:
SXCP’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis; the ability of SXCP’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to SXCP’s unitholders;
SXCP’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing SXCP’s financial condition and results of operations. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Distributable Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and used in investing activities. Additionally, because Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, our definition of Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Ongoing capital expenditures (“capex”) are capital expenditures made to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and/or to extend their useful lives. Ongoing capex also includes new equipment that improves the efficiency, reliability or effectiveness of existing assets. Ongoing capex does not include normal repairs and maintenance, which are expensed as incurred, or significant capital expenditures. For purposes of calculating distributable cash flow, the portion of ongoing capex attributable to SXCP is used.
Replacement capital expenditures (“capex”) represents an annual accrual necessary to fund SXCP’s share of the estimated costs to replace or rebuild our facilities at the end of their working lives. This accrual is estimated based on the average quarterly anticipated replacement capital that we expect to incur over the long term to replace our major capital assets at the end of their working lives. The replacement capex accrual estimate will be subject to review and prospective change by SXCP’s general partner at least annually and whenever an event occurs that causes a material adjustment of replacement capex, provided such change is approved by our conflicts committee.
