SunCoke Energy Partners' 2014 Coke Production Down 2.5%

Full year 2014 estimated coke production of 1,746,000 tons is down approximately 44,000 tons compared with full year 2013, reflecting the impact of severe winter weather in first quarter 2014 and lower coal-to-coke yields at our Haverhill facility.
 
Capacity utilization collectively was 109% and 106% for fourth quarter and full year 2014, respectively, as compared to 107% and 109% for the same prior year periods.
