Forward-Looking Statements 2 Statements included that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto), are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including "forecast," "may," "believe," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon management's current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in Martin Midstream's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Martin Midstream expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.


 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 3 This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is set forth elsewhere in this presentation or on our web site at www.martinmidstream.com MMLP's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the MMLP's financial condition and results of operations as they provide another measure of the profitability and ability to service its debt, and are considered important measures by financial analysts covering MMLP and its peers.

Active Commodity Risk Management 33 Established hedging policy to manage limited commodity risk exposure Hedging policy supplements attractive contract mix Swaps for crude oil, natural gas, natural gasoline Generally hedge 50% of commodity-sensitive volumes at beginning of year, with preference for direct product hedges Hedging focused in the Natural Gas Services segment A $1 change in natural gas pricing would affect cash flow by $1.1MM in 2010 A $10 change in oil pricing would affect cash flow by $0.5MM in 2010 Minimal commodity price exposure limits cash flow sensitivity, even without any hedging A $1 change in natural gas pricing would affect cash flow by $1.4MM in 2010 if unhedged A $10 change in oil pricing would affect cash flow by $1.3MM in 2010 if unhedged


 

34 Multiple lines of business provide the opportunity to direct capital in strategic manner Focus on highest value projects, with overall EBITDA multiple of < 5x Cross Refinery potential opportunities Increase yield of high viscosity lubes Produce additional non-carcinogenic lubes for tires Facilitate production of ultra-low sulfur diesel for direct sale Nearly double refinery capacity Established mechanism to modify Tolling Agreement based on expansion projects to achieve desired returns Waskom plant capacity: potential 10 - 15% capacity increase for Cotton Valley and Haynesville volumes at ~ $4MM cost to Prism Sulfur prilling: ability to significantly increase capacity at ~ $3MM cost per priller, given existing fixed-cost infrastructure Attractive Growth Opportunities Across Business Segments
