Management Commentary

"Looking at our full-year results in 2015, our core business performed well, as demonstrated by improved operational reliability at our facilities and higher sales across our deep portfolio of refined products," stated Tim Go, Chief Executive Officer of Calumet. "Refining system utilization and product sales volumes reached all-time records last year, the combination of which contributed to a significant year-over-year increase in Distributable Cash Flow, excluding special items. Despite challenging market conditions evident during the fourth quarter of 2015, our full-year 2015 results reflect a combination of stable growth in our specialty products segment and continued contributions from our niche, inland fuels refineries, which stand poised to benefit from increased processing of cost advantaged heavy Canadian crude oil during 2016."

"We are pleased to announce that our Montana refinery capacity expansion, San Antonio refinery solvents project and Missouri esters plant capacity expansion have all been completed," continued Go. "The crude oil unit at our Montana refinery is on-stream and is expected to reach 25,000 bpd of production by the end of March 2016, our San Antonio refinery is producing and selling solvents and our Missouri facility is producing and selling esters, post expansion. Collectively, we anticipate these projects will provide significant incremental Adjusted EBITDA for the Partnership over time which, together with a more than 60% year-over-year decline in projected capital spending in 2016, should contribute to improved financial flexibility for Calumet."

"Our senior management team, together with our Board of Directors, is highly focused on owning businesses whose unique competitive advantages and stable cash flow profiles support our long-term strategic growth," continued Go. "To that end, we recently introduced a revised corporate vision for Calumet designed to position the organization as 'the premier specialty petroleum products company in the world.'"

"As part of this vision, Calumet has commenced a multi-year initiative that emphasizes a combination of operational excellence, opportunistic investments in 'self-help' internal projects and a long-term, targeted acquisition strategy that will support the purchase of competitively advantaged assets in the global specialty products markets," continued Go. "We intend to provide supporting data on the financial benefits of this initiative in subsequent updates."

"We believe the Partnership has sufficient liquidity from cash on hand and from operations, as well as availability under our asset based revolving credit facility to fund general business requirements, subject to market conditions," continued Go. "During the fourth quarter 2015, affiliates of our general partner provided Calumet with an unsecured $75 million loan, demonstrating their continued long-term support for the Partnership."

"During the first quarter 2016, we have taken steps to significantly increase the volume of heavy Canadian crude oil processed at our fuels refineries," noted Go. "Historically, we have processed between 20,000 bpd and 25,000 bpd of heavy Canadian crude oil at our refineries, representing approximately one-quarter of our crude slate. By year-end 2016, we intend to process between 40,000 bpd and 45,000 bpd of heavy Canadian crude oil and, longer-term, as much as 70,000 bpd of cost-advantaged Canadian feedstock. Given that heavy Canadian crude oil is discounted by more than $12 per barrel versus West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") year-to-date 2016, we view this as a clear profit improvement opportunity for the Partnership that we expect to require limited capital investment."

Overall demand for specialty products was essentially flat in the fourth quarter 2015, when compared to the prior year period. Demand for lubricating oils, white oils and packaged and synthetic specialty products remained stable, while solvents demand remains soft due primarily to less activity in the oilfield services industry. Sales of packaged and synthetic specialty products, which include proprietary product lines such as TruFuel and Royal Purple, achieved a new record in 2015.

During the fourth quarter 2015, a more than 45% quarter-over-quarter decline in the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread, together with a narrowing in crude oil price differentials, contributed to lower results within the fuel products segment. The Partnership processed an average of approximately 22,300 bpd of heavy Canadian crude oil in the fourth quarter 2015, versus 19,500 bpd in the fourth quarter 2014. Calumet continues to believe a structurally wide WCS-WTI crude oil price differential remains a significant advantage to the overall profitability of its fuel products segment based on current market conditions. During 2016, the Partnership intends to significantly increase the volumes of WCS price-linked crude oil processed at its fuels refineries to further capitalize on this advantage.

The average price of WTI crude oil declined by more than 40% between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. In response to lower crude oil prices, domestic oilfield services activity declined sharply during the past year, as the U.S. land rig count dropped by nearly 50% on a year over year basis. The decline in drilling and completion activity had a material adverse impact on our oilfield services segment throughout 2015, a trend which continued into the fourth quarter 2015. 

In response to these market conditions, the Partnership took steps to significantly reduce costs in the business during the past year, efforts that included capturing increased supply chain efficiencies in addition to a series of targeted workforce reductions that better positioned the segment relative to the needs of existing customers. While the oilfield services segment remains challenged in a lower commodity price environment, the Partnership continues to position the business for cash flow neutrality, given the current challenges evident in this market.

Partnership Liquidity

On December 31, 2015, Calumet had availability under its revolving credit facility of $233.5 million, based on a $411.3 million borrowing base, $66.8 million in outstanding standby letters of credit and $111.0 million in outstanding borrowings. In addition, Calumet had $5.6 million of cash on hand as of December 31, 2015. Calumet believes it will continue to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity and other means by which to meet its financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures. On a continuous basis, the Partnership focuses on various initiatives, including working capital initiatives, to further enhance its liquidity over time, given current market conditions.

Financial Guidance

Full-year 2016 Capital Spending Forecast. For the full year 2016, the Partnership anticipates total capital expenditures between $125.0 million and $150.0 million. Anticipated 2016 capital spending includes (1) $60.0 million to $70.0 million for capital improvement expenditures; (2) $50.0 million to $60.0 million for replacement and environmental expenditures; (3) $5.0 million to $10.0 million for turnaround related expenditures and (4) $10.0 million for joint venture contributions.

Full-Year 2016 RFS Compliance Impact Forecast. In conjunction with the Partnership's ongoing compliance with the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS"), Calumet expects to purchase blending credits referred to as RINs. The Partnership records its outstanding RINs obligation as a balance sheet liability. This liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis to reflect the market price of RINs on the last day of each quarter. The Partnership expects its gross estimated annual RINs obligation, which includes RINs that are required to be secured through either blending or through the purchase of RINs in the open market, will be up to 120 million RINs for the full-year 2016, excluding the potential for any subsequent hardship waivers that may or may not be granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to any of the Partnership's fuel refineries at a later time.

Strategic Update

In early 2016, Calumet introduced a revised vision designed to position the organization as the premier specialty petroleum products company in the world. As part of this vision, Calumet has commenced a multi-year initiative that emphasizes a combination of operational excellence, opportunistic investments in "self-help," high-return internal projects and a targeted acquisition strategy that seeks to support the purchase of complementary, competitively advantaged assets in the global specialty products markets.

Operational Excellence. Calumet will seek to optimize its existing asset base through a series of improvement initiatives that are expected to position the Partnership for sustained, profitable growth. Calumet has identified key areas of opportunity within the business that carry "low/no" capital investment requirements and attractive return profiles. Key initiatives under evaluation as part of the operational excellence initiative include efforts to further optimize the procurement of feedstock, efforts to improve refinery yields, efforts to improve the efficiency of assets by operating at higher utilization rates and efforts to lower margin product streams into higher margin finished products. 

"Self-Help" Project Investments. Calumet expects to pursue a series of "self-help" projects characterized by high-return investment profiles and sub-$50 million capital investment requirements. The Partnership will evaluate projects that are smaller in size/scope than the prior organic growth campaign and that carry shorter durations to completion. These projects will carry high-return investment profiles capable of supporting growth in Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. 

Targeted Acquisition Strategy. Calumet seeks to acquire complementary, immediately accretive businesses with sustainable competitive advantages that further entrench Calumet as a global leader in the specialty products markets. The Partnership's acquisition focus will narrow versus prior years to include specialty businesses (1) where the Partnership has an existing core competency; and (2) that have a sustainable competitive advantage. At the same time, the Partnership regularly evaluates its portfolio to identify potential asset divestiture candidates that do not fit its core asset portfolio criteria.

Operations Summary

The following table sets forth information about our combined operations, excluding the results of the oilfield services segment. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventories and the sale of purchased fuel product blendstocks such as ethanol and biodiesel and the resale of crude oil in our fuel products segment.

____________________


(1)

Total sales volume includes sales from the production at our facilities and certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements, sales of inventories and the resale of crude oil to third party customers. Total sales volume includes the sale of purchased fuel product blendstocks, such as ethanol and biodiesel, as components of finished fuel products in our fuel products segment sales.




The increase in total sales volume quarter over quarter is due primarily to increased sales of fuel products primarily at the Shreveport and San Antonio refineries, partially offset by decreased sales of solvents and waxes as a result of market conditions.




The increase in total sales volume in 2015 compared to 2014 is due primarily to increased production at the Shreveport refinery due to increased reliability and extended turnaround activity in 2014 and increased production at the San Antonio refinery as a result of the crude oil unit expansion completed in December 2013 being fully operational, partially offset by decreased sales of solvents and crude oil sales to third parties as a result of market conditions.



(2)

Total feedstock runs represent the barrels per day of crude oil and other feedstocks processed at our facilities and at certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements.




The increase in total feedstock runs quarter over quarter is due primarily to increased production at the Shreveport and San Antonio refineries as a result of increased operational reliability.




The increase in total feedstock runs in 2015 compared to 2014 is due primarily to increased feedstock runs at the Shreveport refinery due to increased reliability and extended turnaround activity in 2014 and increased feedstock runs at the San Antonio refinery as a result of the crude oil unit expansion completed in December 2013 being fully operational, partially offset by decreased feedstock runs of solvents as a result of market conditions.



(3)

Total facility production represents the barrels per day of specialty products and fuel products yielded from processing crude oil and other feedstocks at our facilities and at certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements. The difference between total facility production and total feedstock runs is primarily a result of the time lag between the input of feedstocks and the production of finished products and volume loss.




The increases in total facility production in 2015 over 2014, as well as quarter over quarter, are due primarily to the operational items discussed above in footnote 2 of this table.



(4)

Represents production of packaged and synthetic specialty products, including the products from the Royal Purple, Bel-Ray, Calumet Packaging and Missouri facilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include in this press release the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items and provide reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items to net income loss and net cash provided by operating activities, our most directly comparable financial performance and liquidity measures, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items 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 believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to pay distributions. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations.

We define "EBITDA" for any period as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including debt issuance and extinguishment costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" for any period as: (1) net income (loss) plus; (2)(a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) impairment, (e) unrealized losses from mark-to-market accounting for hedging activities, (f) realized gains under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss), (g) non-cash equity based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss), (h) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties and (i) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense; minus (3)(a) unrealized gains from mark-to-market accounting for hedging activities, (b) realized losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss) and (c) other non-recurring expenses and unrealized items that reduced net income (loss) for a prior period, but represent a cash item in the current period.

We define "Distributable Cash Flow" for any period as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement and environmental capital expenditures, turnaround costs, cash interest expense (consolidated interest expense less non-cash interest expense), income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, net of cash distributions and income tax expense (benefit). Distributable Cash Flow is used by us, our investors and analysts to analyze our ability to pay distributions.

The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow that are presented in this release reflect the calculation of "Consolidated Cash Flow" contained in the indentures governing our 7.625% senior notes due January 15, 2022, that were issued in November 2013 (the "2022 Notes"), our 6.5% senior notes due April 15, 2021, that were issued in March 2014 (the "2021 Notes") and our 7.75% senior notes due April 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), that were issued in March 2015. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2021 Notes, 2022 Notes and 2023 Notes and Adjusted EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow that are presented in this press release for prior periods have been updated to reflect the use of the new calculations. Please see our filings with the SEC, including our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items, management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are only three of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items in the same manner. The following tables present a reconciliation of both net loss to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Special Items and Distributable Cash Flow, Excluding Special Items, and Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures, for each of the periods indicated.
