Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: CLMT) (the "Partnership" or "Calumet") reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $41.8 million compared to net income of $37.4 million for the same period in 2007. Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the Partnership's credit agreements) were $65.5 million and $48.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $42.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2007. Distributable Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $36.9 million as compared to $37.9 million for the same period in 2007. (See the section of this release titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and other non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures, definitions of such measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $38.4 million compared to net income of $65.6 million for the same period in 2007. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $77.8 million and $62.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $75.3 million and $75.9 million, respectively, for the same period in 2007. Distributable Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $50.1 million as compared to $66.2 million for the same period in 2007. (See the section of this release titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and other non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures, definitions of such measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
The Partnership's performance for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was significantly impacted by increased gross profit in our fuels segment, offset by lower gross profit in our specialty products segment. The increase in fuel products segment gross profit was primarily due to increased volume and LIFO gains resulting from the liquidation of lower cost inventory layers which lowered cost of sales. Specialty products gross profit decreased period over period primarily due to result of the rising cost of crude oil outpacing increases in selling prices partially offset by LIFO gains resulting from the liquidation of lower cost inventory layers which lowered cost of sales. In total, the Partnership recognized increased LIFO inventory gains of approximately $59.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year as part of the implementation of a working capital reduction initiative. The Partnership's performance was also positively affected by increased unrealized gains on certain crude collar oil derivative instruments not designated as hedges and a one-time gain of $5.8 million on the lease of mineral rights on the real property at our Shreveport and Princeton refineries to an unaffiliated third party which have been accounted for as a sale. These increases were partially offset by increased interest expense due primarily to higher debt levels from financing both the Penreco acquisition, which closed in January 2008, as well as the completion of the Shreveport refinery expansion project, which was operational in May 2008.
Total Specialty Products segment sales volume for the second quarter of 2008 was 30,088 barrels per day as compared to 24,692 barrels per day for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 5,396 barrels per day or 21.9%, primarily due to incremental sales volume associated with our Karns City and Dickinson facilities acquired in the purchase of Penreco in January 2008.
Total Fuel Products segment sales volume for the second quarter of 2008 was 30,264 barrels per day as compared to 25,044 barrels per day in the same period for the prior year, an increase of 5,220 barrels per day, or 20.8%, primarily due to higher fuels production, primarily diesel, subsequent to the completion of the Shreveport refinery expansion project.
Gross profit by segment for the second quarter of 2008 for specialty products and fuel products was $21.5 million and $39.4 million, respectively, compared to $40.6 million and $19.9 million, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
"Historically high crude oil prices have continued to pose significant challenges for Calumet during the quarter. We have implemented multiple rounds of specialty product price increases to customers during this volatile period. We expect the recent reduction or termination of production of certain specialty products by other major suppliers will have a favorable impact on Calumet placing additional specialty products volumes in the market from our Shreveport refinery expansion project," said Bill Grube, Calumet's CEO and President. "The completion of the Shreveport refinery expansion project in May 2008, the continued integration of Penreco, our increased hedging of specialty products input prices and working capital reductions, all which were our previously announced second quarter initiatives, had a positive impact on our results. That being said, this remains a very difficult operating environment for all refiners, including Calumet. While we outline in this release and will discuss on our earnings conference call the continued actions we are taking to mitigate the adverse impact of this environment on our operating results, we can provide no assurances as to the timing or magnitude of continued improvement in our operating results and, to the extent we experience continued rapid escalation of crude oil prices, our operating results could be adversely affected," said Mr. Grube.
Shreveport Refinery Expansion Project Operational
As of May 2008, the Shreveport refinery expansion project was operational. We invested approximately $147.7 million in capital expenditures at the Shreveport refinery in the six months ended June 30, 2008, of which $115.5 million relates to the Shreveport refinery expansion project. From December 31, 2005 through June 30, 2008, the Partnership has invested approximately $473.1 million in the Shreveport refinery, of which $369.9 million relates to the Shreveport refinery expansion project.
The Shreveport expansion project has increased this refinery's throughput capacity from 42,000 bpd to 60,000 bpd. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Shreveport refinery had total feedstock runs of 41,000 bpd, which represents an increase of approximately 6,000 bpd from the first quarter of 2008. As part of this project, we have enhanced the Shreveport refinery's ability to process sour crude oil. As of June 30, 2008, we are processing approximately 13,000 bpd of sour crude oil at the Shreveport refinery. In certain operating scenarios, we expect we will be able to increase sour crude oil throughput rates up to approximately 25,000 bpd. The total cost of the Shreveport refinery expansion project is approximately $375.0 million, an increase of $25.0 million from our previous estimate. This increase is primarily due to increased construction labor costs to avoid further delays in the project's completion. The $375.0 million aggregate cost estimate of the expansion project significantly exceeds the Partnership's original estimate.
Further, we have invested $32.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 in existing operations at our Shreveport refinery for projects to improve efficiency, de-bottleneck certain operating units and for new product development. These expenditures are anticipated to enhance and improve our product mix and operating cost leverage, but will not significantly increase the feedstock throughput capacity of the refinery. We anticipate an additional $5.0 million will be incurred over the next year related to these projects.
Other Strategic Initiatives Increased Crude Oil Price Hedging for Specialty Products Segment
We remain committed to an active hedging program to manage commodity price risk in both our specialty products and fuel products segments. Due to the current volatility in the crude oil price environment and the impact such volatility has had on our short-term cash flows while our product pricing is adjusted, we have implemented modifications to our hedging strategy to increase the overall portion of input prices for specialty products we have hedged. Specifically, we are targeting to hedge crude oil prices for up to 75% of our specialty products production. We continue to believe that a shorter-term time horizon of hedging crude oil purchases for 3 to 9 months forward for the specialty products segment is appropriate given our ability to increase specialty products prices within this timeframe. During the second quarter of 2008, we added approximately 3,000,000 barrels of crude oil collar derivative instruments, including hedges out to the second quarter of 2009. Our outstanding hedge positions are listed at the end of this press release.
Working Capital Reduction
We have successfully implemented strategies to minimize inventory levels across all of our facilities to reduce working capital needs, especially given the impact of increased crude oil prices on inventories. As an example, effective May 1, 2008, Calumet entered into a crude oil supply agreement with an affiliate of our general partner to purchase crude oil used at our Princeton refinery on a just-in-time basis which has significantly reduced crude oil inventory historically maintained for this facility by approximately 200,000 barrels. We will continue to execute this working capital strategy during the third quarter of 2008 to potentially make further reductions in inventory. During the second quarter of 2008, we reduced our overall inventory levels by approximately 600,000 barrels, or approximately 30.0%, from inventory levels as of March 31, 2008.
Operating Cost Reductions
We continue to implement operating cost reductions related to several areas including maintenance and utility costs.
Credit Agreement Covenant Compliance
As previously disclosed, the Partnership has experienced recent adverse financial conditions primarily associated with historically high crude oil costs, which have negatively affected specialty products gross profit. Also contributing to these adverse financial conditions have been the significant cost overruns and delays in the startup of the Shreveport refinery expansion project. Compliance with the financial covenants pursuant to the Partnership's credit agreements is tested quarterly and, as of June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. Our ability to maintain compliance with these financial covenants in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was substantially assisted by both reductions in our inventory levels, which resulted in LIFO inventory gains, and a one-time benefit from the sale of mineral rights on the real property at our Shreveport and Princeton refineries to an unaffiliated third party. As previously described, the Partnership is taking steps to ensure that it continues to meet the requirements of its credit agreements and currently forecasts that it will be in compliance in future periods.
While assurances cannot be made regarding our future compliance with these covenants, the Partnership anticipates that our product pricing strategies, completion of the Shreveport refinery expansion project, continued integration of the Penreco acquisition and the other strategic initiatives previously described will allow us to maintain compliance with such financial covenants and improve the Partnership's Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flows.
Failure to achieve our anticipated results may result in a breach of certain of the financial covenants contained in our credit agreements. If this occurs, we will enter into discussions with our lenders to either modify the terms of the existing credit facilities or obtain waivers of non-compliance with such covenants in the event the Partnership fails to comply with a financial covenant. There can be no assurances of the timing of the receipt of any such modification or waiver, the term or costs associated therewith or our ultimate ability to obtain the relief sought. The Partnership's failure to obtain a waiver of non-compliance with certain of the financial covenants or otherwise amend the credit facilities would constitute an event of default under its credit facilities and would permit the lenders to pursue remedies. These remedies could include acceleration of maturity under our credit facilities and limitation or elimination of the Partnership's ability to make distributions to its unitholders.
Quarterly Distribution
As announced on July 15, 2008, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.45 per unit on all outstanding units for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The distribution will be paid on August 14, 2008 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2008.
The following table sets forth unaudited information about our combined refinery operations. Refining production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventory.

(1) Total sales volume includes sales from the production of our
facilities, sales of purchased products and sales of inventories. The
increase in sales volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to volume
associated with our Karns City and Dickinson facilities, which were
acquired as a result of the Penreco acquisition on January 3, 2008.
(2) Feedstock runs represents the barrels per day of crude oil and other
feedstocks processed at our facilities. The increase in feedstock runs for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period
in the prior year was due to the completion of the Shreveport refinery
expansion project as well as feedstock runs associated with the Karns City
and Dickinson facilities, which we acquired as part of the Penreco
acquisition on January 3, 2008.
(3) Total refinery production represents the barrels per day of specialty
products and fuel products yielded from processing crude oil and other
feedstocks at our facilities. The difference between total refinery
production and total feedstock runs is primarily a result of the time lag
between the input of feedstock and production of end products and volume
loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, and provide reconciliations of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow and (in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) to cash flow from operating activities, our most directly comparable financial performance and liquidity measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:
-- the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
-- the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
-- our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure; and
-- the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs), taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA to be Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our credit facility agreements. Consistent with that definition, Adjusted EBITDA, for any period, equals: (1) net income plus (2)(a) interest expense; (b) taxes; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) unrealized losses from mark to market accounting for derivative activities; (e) unrealized items decreasing net income (including the non-cash impact of restructuring; decommissioning and asset impairments in the periods presented); (f) other non-recurring expenses reducing net income which do not represent a cash item for such period; and (g) all non-recurring restructuring charges associated with the Penreco acquisition minus (3)(a) tax credits; (b) unrealized items increasing net income (including the non-cash impact of restructuring, decommissioning and asset impairments in the periods presented); (c) unrealized gains from mark to market accounting for derivative activities; and (d) other non-cash recurring expenses and unrealized items that reduced net income for a prior period, but represent a cash item in the current period. We are required to report Adjusted EBITDA to our lenders under our credit facilities and it is used to determine our compliance with the consolidated leverage test thereunder.
We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides additional information for investors to evaluate the Partnership's ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders.
We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures, cash interest paid (excluding capitalized interest) and income tax expense.
