Suncoke Energy:Domestic Coke Production for Q1 2013 Is Expected to Be 1.05 Million Tons

Lisle, Illinois-based coke producer Suncoke Energy said Thursday that domestic coke production for Q1 2013 is expected to be 1.05 million tons, down from 1.07 million tons in Q1 2012. The year-over-year change reflects the benefit of an extra day of production in Q1 2012 due to the leap year, adding nearly 12,000 tons to prior year's production. Also contributing to the decline was lower production at the Indiana Harbor facility, partly offset by higher production at Middletown.

Beginning in Q1 2013, Suncoke has combined its Jewell Coke and Other Domestic Coke segments into one segment called Domestic Coke due to the similarities of operations and contracts between the two segments. Prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect this change.
