SunCoke Energy, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• SunCoke Energy, Inc. (SXC) filed an 8-K on January 22, 2026 announcing that it and United States Steel Corporation agreed to extend their metallurgical coke supply agreement for 12 months, covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
• Under the extension SunCoke will produce and deliver approximately 590,000 tons of metallurgical coke from its Granite City, Illinois cokemaking facility and will maintain its current minimum steam supply obligation.

Key Details

• Extension period: January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026 (12 months).
• Committed volume: ~590,000 tons of metallurgical coke during 2026.
• Production site: Granite City, Illinois cokemaking facility.
• Other terms: The Company’s minimum steam supply obligation remains unchanged. No pricing or payment terms were disclosed in the filing.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the agreement provides near‑term revenue visibility and production utilization for SunCoke’s Granite City plant through 2026 by securing a significant committed coke volume.
• The one‑year extension limits long-term visibility—investors should note the contract length is temporary and the filing does not disclose pricing or financial impact.
• The press release announcing the extension was attached to the 8-K (Exhibit 99.1), but the filing itself contains no new financial statements or detailed commercial terms.
