Investing.com -- Suncoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE:SXC) reported first quarter 2025 earnings that beat analyst estimates, but revenue fell short of expectations, sending shares down 6.2% in trading.
The cokemaking and logistics company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.20, surpassing the analyst consensus of $0.17. However, revenue came in at $436 million, down 10.7% YoY from $488.4 million.
Suncoke’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for Q1 was $59.8 million, declining from $67.9 million in the same period last year. The company cited challenging steel industry conditions and lower spot coke sales volumes as headwinds in the quarter.
"We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter given the headwinds currently facing the steel industry," said Katherine Gates, President and CEO of SunCoke Energy. "Our logistics business continued to perform well and delivered strong quarterly results."
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 consolidated adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $210 million to $225 million. Suncoke also announced an extension of its Granite City cokemaking contract with U.S. Steel through September 30, 2025.
Domestic coke production for 2025 is expected to be approximately 4.0 million tons. Suncoke projects consolidated net income between $52 million and $69 million for the full year.
The stock’s 6.2% decline suggests investors were disappointed by the revenue miss and lower YoY results, despite the earnings beat and maintained guidance.
