PRNewswire-FirstCall
INDIANAPOLIS

Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: CLMT) (the "Partnership" or "Calumet") reported a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $26.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. These results include noncash unrealized derivative losses of $8.0 million and $17.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Calumet reported a net loss of $14.0 million compared to net income of $49.7 million for the same period in 2009. These results include noncash unrealized derivative losses of $15.8 million and gains of $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Calumet reported net cash provided by operating activities of $42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $57.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the Partnership's credit agreements) were $21.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $(1.9) million and $26.6 million, respectively, for the same quarter in 2009. Distributable Cash Flow (as defined below) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $10.7 million as compared to $14.3 million for the same quarter in 2009. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA quarter over quarter was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, discussed below, which was partially offset by an increase in realized losses on derivative instruments and an increase in cash outlays for prepaid and accrued expenses. (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 measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)

"We are pleased with our results for the second quarter considering our Shreveport refinery was down for an extended turnaround during the entire month of April 2010. We continue to focus on increased run rates to meet higher demand for our specialty products and to take advantage of higher fuel products margins during the summer months," said Bill Grube, Calumet's Chief Executive Officer and President. "We elected not to proceed with our unsecured notes offering in July 2010 due to current market conditions. We viewed the offering as an opportunity, not a requirement, to refinance our existing term loan facility with longer-term unsecured notes. We intend to continue monitoring the debt markets for the opportunity to complete a debt refinancing transaction under appropriate market conditions," said Grube.

The net loss reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of $0.9 million improved by $25.1 million as compared to the $26.0 million loss reported for the same period in 2009. The improvement in net loss quarter over quarter was due primarily to an increase of $31.3 million in gross profit, discussed below, partially offset by increased realized derivative losses of $12.9 million. These results include noncash unrealized derivative losses of $8.0 million and $17.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which may or may not be realized in the future as the derivatives are settled.

Gross profit by segment is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

                     =======     =======  =======          =======


The increase of $25.7 million in specialty products segment gross profit quarter over quarter was primarily due to an increase of 41.5% in the average selling price per barrel, while the average cost of crude oil per barrel increased by only 32.3%. Also, specialty products sales volumes increased 4.7%, due primarily to improvements in overall specialty products demand and the addition of sales volumes under our specialty products agreements with LyondellBasell which we entered into during the fourth quarter of 2009 (the "LyondellBasell Agreements").

The increase of $5.6 million in fuel products segment gross profit quarter over quarter was positively impacted by the average selling price per barrel of our fuel products increasing at rates comparable to the average cost of crude oil cost per barrel which increased by 31.7%, driven by improving crack spreads, combined with a $2.0 million increase in derivative gains on our fuel products hedges. Partially offsetting this increase in gross profit per barrel was a 22.6% decrease in fuel products sales volume. The sales volume decrease for the fuel products segment was due primarily to the decrease in production rates at our Shreveport refinery in the second quarter due to the extended turnaround at this refinery during the entire month of April 2010.

Quarterly Distribution

On July 9, 2010, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.455 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 on all outstanding units. The distribution will be paid on August 13, 2010 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2010.

Operations Summary

  (1)  Total sales volume includes sales from the production of our
  facilities and certain third-party facilities pursuant to
  supply and/or processing agreements and sales of inventories.

  (2)  Total feedstock runs represent the barrels per day of crude oil
  and other feedstocks processed at our facilities and
  certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing
  agreements. The decrease in feedstock runs for the
  three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009
  is due primarily to the extended turnaround
  at the Shreveport refinery during the entire month of April 2010,
  partially offset by increased volumes related to the
  LyondellBasell Agreements in 2010. Additionally, the decrease in
  feedstock runs for the six months ended June 30,
  2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is also due to the decision
  to reduce crude oil run rates at our facilities
  during the entire first quarter of 2010 because of the poor economics
  of running additional barrels.

  (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 certain third-
   party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing
  agreements, including the LyondellBasell Agreements in 2010. The
  difference between total facility production and total
  feedstock runs is primarily a result of the time lag between the
  input of feedstock and production of finished products and
  volume loss. The decrease in facility production for the six months
  ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in
  2009 is a result of reduced feedstock runs during that period as
  discussed in footnote 2 of this table. The increase in the
  production of specialty products for the three and six months ended
  June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009
  is primarily the result of additional volumes under the
  LyondellBasell Agreements and was partially offset by reduced
  production levels as a result of reduced feedstock runs during those
  periods, as discussed in footnote 2 of this table. The
  reduction in production of fuel products for the three and six months
  ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods
   in 2009 is primarily due to reduced feedstock runs at our Shreveport
   refinery during those periods as discussed in footnote
  2 of this table.



  Credit Agreement Covenant Compliance

Compliance with the financial covenants under Calumet's credit agreements is measured quarterly based upon performance over the most recent four fiscal quarters. As of June 30, 2010, Calumet continued to be in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit agreements.

While assurances cannot be made regarding our future compliance with these financial covenants and subject to the inherent uncertainty of the crude oil pricing environment and general economic conditions, Calumet believes that it will continue to maintain compliance with such financial covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility Capacity

On June 30, 2010, Calumet had availability under its revolving credit facility of $112.5 million, based on a $228.5 million borrowing base, $66.9 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, and outstanding borrowings of $49.1 million. Calumet believes that it will have sufficient cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity to meet its financial commitments, minimum quarterly distributions to unitholders, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures. However, Calumet is subject to business and operational risks that could materially adversely affect its cash flows. A material decrease in Calumet's cash flow from operations or a significant, sustained decline in crude oil prices would likely produce a corollary material adverse effect on Calumet's borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and potentially Calumet's ability to comply with the covenants under Calumet's credit facilities. Substantial declines in crude oil prices, if sustained, may materially diminish Calumet's borrowing base, which is based in part on the value of Calumet's crude oil inventory, which could result in a material reduction in Calumet's borrowing capacity under Calumet's revolving credit facility. A significant increase in crude oil prices, if sustained, would likely result in increased working capital funded by borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, and provide quarterly and annual reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow and (in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) an annual reconciliation to net cash provided by 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, support our indebtedness and meet minimum quarterly
      distributions;

  --  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 issuance and extinguishment costs), taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA to be Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our credit facilities. Consistent with that definition, Adjusted EBITDA means, for any period: (1) net income plus (2)(a) interest expense; (b) taxes; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) unrealized losses from mark to market accounting for hedging activities; (e) unrealized items decreasing net income (including the non-cash impact of restructuring, decommissioning and asset impairments in the periods presented); and (f) other non-recurring expenses reducing net income which do not represent a cash item for such period; 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 hedging activities; and (d) other non-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 and consolidated interest coverage tests thereunder.

We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement capital expenditures, cash interest paid (excluding capitalized interest) and income tax expense.
