Martin Midstream Partners Reports 2009 Third Quarter Financial Results and Announces Asset Contribution and Equity Investment from Martin Resource Management Corporation

KILGORE, Texas, Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

MMLP reported net income for the third quarter of 2009 of $4.5 million, or $0.26 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the third quarter of 2008 of $13.8 million, or $0.88 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $151.4 million compared to $364.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. Revenues were significantly impacted by decreased commodity prices during the period compared to the same period in 2008. Third quarter 2009 net income was positively impacted by $0.5 million, or $0.04 per limited partner unit, in non-cash derivatives net gains from certain commodity and interest rate hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

MMLP reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $17.3 million, or $1.02 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $26.1 million, or $1.64 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $436.5 million compared to $985.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Revenues were significantly impacted by decreased commodity prices during the period compared to the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income was positively impacted by $5.2 million, or $0.36 per limited partner unit, in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income was negatively impacted by $2.3 million, or $0.16 per limited partner unit, in non-cash derivatives net losses from certain commodity and interest rate hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company's distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2009 was $12.4 million. The Company's distributable cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $37.0 million. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which is explained in greater detail below under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information." The Company has also included below a table entitled "Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measurement.

MMLP's third quarter 2009 financial statements are included with this press release. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2009.

In addition, MMLP announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain specialty lubricants processing assets ("Assets") from Cross Oil Refining & Marketing, Inc. ("Cross"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Martin Resource Management Corporation, the owner of MMLP's general partner ("MRMC"), for total consideration of $45.0 million (the "Dropdown"). In consideration for the Cross Assets, MMLP will issue 804,721 common units and 894,134 subordinated units to MRMC at a price of $27.96 and $25.16 per limited partner unit, respectively. The common units will be entitled to receive distributions beginning in February 2010, while the subordinated units will have no distribution rights until the second anniversary of closing of the Dropdown. At the end of such second anniversary, the subordinated units will automatically convert to common units, having the same distribution rights as existing common units. The pricing of the units is based on the average closing price of MMLP's common units during the ten trading days ending November 3, 2009, with a 10% discount applied to the average in the case of the subordinated units. In connection with the Dropdown, Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of MMLP, will make a capital contribution of $0.9 million to MMLP in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in MMLP.

The Cross Assets consist primarily of a 7,500 barrel per day naphthenic lubricant refinery located in Smackover, Arkansas with over 475,000 barrels of related storage capacity. Under the terms of the transaction, MRMC will continue to own all other Cross assets and working capital associated with the retained Cross business, including all crude oil, raw material, in-process and finished product inventories. In connection with the closing of the Dropdown, MRMC and MMLP have agreed to enter into a long-term, fee-for-services-based tolling agreement whereby MRMC agrees to pay MMLP for the processing of its crude oil into finished products, including naphthenic lubricants, distillates, asphalt and other intermediate cuts (the "Tolling Agreement"). Under the Tolling Agreement, MRMC has generally agreed to refine a minimum of 6,500 barrels per day of crude oil at the refinery at a price of $4.00 per barrel. Any additional barrels will refined at a price of $4.28 per barrel. In addition, MRMC has agreed to pay a monthly reservation fee of $1.3 million and a periodic fuel surcharge fee based on certain parameters specified in the Tolling Agreement. All of these fees (other than the fuel surcharge) are subject to escalation annually based upon the greater of 3% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index for a specified annual period. In addition, every three years, the parties can negotiate an upward or downward adjustment in the fees subject to their mutual agreement. The Tolling Agreement will have a 12 year term, subject to certain termination rights specified therein. MRMC will continue to market and distribute all finished products under the Cross brand name. In addition, MRMC will continue to own and operate the Cross packaging business.

Based on the current operating and anticipated performance of, and the current and anticipated general economic, industry and market conditions impacting, the Cross Assets, MMLP expects the Cross Assets to generate approximately $10 to $12 million of EBITDA in 2010 with expected maintenance capital expenditures during that period of $1.0 to $2.0 million. The closing of the Dropdown is subject to standard closing conditions, including the approval of the lenders under MRMC's credit facility and the approval of the assignment of various regulatory licenses and permits. Closing is anticipated prior to the end of November 2009.

In addition, MMLP also announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement under which MRMC will invest $20.0 million in cash in MMLP in exchange for 715,308 newly-issued common units (the "Investment"). In connection with the Investment, Martin Midstream GP LLC will make a capital contribution to MMLP of $0.4 million in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in MMLP. The closing of the Investment is subject to standard closing conditions, including the approval of the lenders under MRMC's credit facility. Closing is anticipated prior to the end of November 2009. Proceeds from the Investment will be used by MMLP to repay a portion of indebtedness under its credit facility. Both the Dropdown and the Investment were approved by the Conflicts Committee of our general partner.

Upon the closing of the Dropdown and the Investment, MRMC will own approximately 7.6 million limited partner units in MMLP consisting of 6.7 million common units and 0.9 million subordinated units, collectively representing an approximate 43.9% limited partner interest in MMLP, in addition to its continuing 2% general partnership interest in MMLP.

Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. said, "We were pleased with our third quarter operating results and financial performance. The Partnership again demonstrated the benefit of the diverse nature of our operating segments and cash flow contributions. For example, we saw significant improvement in our Marine Transportation segment which more than offset the seasonal weakness we experienced in Sulfur Services due to reduced fertilizer application. In similar fashion, improved Natural Gas Services performance offset slightly weaker Terminalling & Storage results as we saw specialty product through-put, namely sulfuric acid decline during the quarter.

"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2009, we expect the overall operating environment of the Partnership to continue to improve. Specifically, we anticipate slightly improved sulfur pricing in the fourth quarter. Likewise, we anticipate that sulfuric acid volumes will increase in our specialty terminals and a continued recovery in natural gas / NGL prices could also contribute positively.

"In addition to the solid third quarter results, we are excited to announce that we have entered into a definitive Contribution Agreement with MRMC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cross, whereby the Partnership will receive certain specialty lubricant processing assets in exchange for $45.0 million in common and subordinated partnership units. This Dropdown positions our Terminalling and Storage segment to become our largest and most stable cash flow contributor. The Dropdown also continues our previously disclosed objective to have a more fee-based operating model.

"We are also pleased to announce that MRMC will make a direct $20.0 million equity investment into the Partnership in exchange for common units. This equity injection will positively impact the Partnership's balance sheet in advance of our planned credit facility refinancing. This investment further reiterates the General Partner's publicly conveyed support and long-standing commitment to the Partnership."

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about Martin Midstream Partners' outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While MMLP believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Martin Midstream Partners disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

MMLP reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, from time to time, MMLP uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as distributable cash flow because MMLP's management believes that this measure may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results and a meaningful measure of MMLP's cash available to pay distributions. Distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Distributable cash flow is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it presented as an alternative to income from continuing operations. Furthermore, it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or as a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, MMLP has presented herein, and will present in other information it publishes that contains this non-GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The Company has included below a table entitled "Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. MMLP calculates distributable cash flow as follows: net income (as reported in its Statements of Operations), plus depreciation and amortization, less gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, plus amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, less deferred taxes (all as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows), plus distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities (as described below), plus invested cash in unconsolidated entities (as described below), less equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities (as reported in its Statements of Operations), plus non-cash mark-to-market on derivatives (as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows), less maintenance capital expenditures (as reported under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in MMLP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 4, 2009), plus unit-based compensation (as reported in its Statements of Capital).

MMLP's distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities is calculated as distributions from unconsolidated entities, plus return of investments from unconsolidated entities, plus distributions in-kind from equity investments (all as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows). For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.0 million, $0.2 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

MMLP's invested cash in unconsolidated entities is calculated as distributions from (contributions to) unconsolidated entities for operations (as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows), plus expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities (as reported under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in MMLP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 4, 2009). For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from (contributions to) unconsolidated entities for operations and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from (contribution to) unconsolidated entities for operations and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were ($0.8) million and $3.3 million, respectively.
