Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Share-Based Compensation | 8. Share-Based Compensation Equity Classified Awards During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted share-based compensation to eligible participants under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). All awards vest immediately upon a qualifying termination of employment, as defined by the Omnibus Plan, following a change in control. Restricted Stock Units Settled in Shares During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 352,646 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors, to be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average grant date fair value was $8.97 per unit, and was based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. RSUs granted to employees vest and become issuable in three annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant. The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated. RSUs granted to the Company's Board of Directors vest upon grant, but are paid out upon termination of board service. Performance Share Units Performance share units (“PSUs”) were granted to certain employees to be settled in shares of the Company's common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, for which the service period will end on December 31, 2025, and will vest and become issuable during the first quarter of 2026.

| Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
PSUs(1)(2) | 147,232 |  |  | $ | 9.84 |
(1)Performance measures for the PSU awards are split 50/50 between the Company's three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements with the exception of the corporate/other expenses adjustment) and the Company's three-year average pre-tax return on capital for its coke and logistics businesses and unallocated corporate expenses. (2)The number of PSUs ultimately awarded will be determined by the above performance measures versus targets and the Company's three-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of the companies making up the Nasdaq Iron & Steel Index (“TSR Modifier”). The TSR Modifier can impact the payout between 80 percent and 120 percent of the Company's final performance measure results. Each PSU award may vest between 25 percent and 200 percent of the original units granted. The fair value of the PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant as well as a Monte Carlo simulation for the valuation of the TSR Modifier.
