Forward-Looking Statements
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.

Natural Gas Services: Integrated Solutions
with Attractive Contract Mix
 The Natural Gas Services segment provides an integrated distribution channel for gas producers
  Gathering and processing facilities collect the wet gas and separate liquids under fee-based, percent of proceeds or
 percent of liquids pricing arrangements
  Pipelines and trucks distribute extracted or purchased NGLs for a fixed margin based on Mt. Belvieu indexed pricing
  Large storage capacity allows Martin to re-sell NGLs during higher-priced winter seasons, locking in margins via
 hedging
  Wholesale propane business sells NGLs to propane retailers for a fixed-fee margin based on Mt. Belvieu indexed
 pricing or through pre-bought and pre-sold arrangements (based on the same index)
  Wholesale distribution of NGLs provides smoothing effect to natural gas processing for MMLP
 Competitive Advantages
  Martin’s NGL business has 50+ years of performance and name recognition
  Long-term fee contracts, pricing arrangements and effective hedging (45% of commodity price risk for 2011) create
 relative cash flow stability
  Limited geographic alternatives (Waskom / Arcadia) and a large number of customers lower competitive pressures
  Strategically located Waskom Processing Plant remains the only full fractionation facility in East Texas production
 area
  Existing infrastructure prime for expansion to provide full midstream services for both rich and lean gas
  Joint venture strategy with strong partner allows Martin to fully capitalize upon growth opportunities

Full Service Logistical Provider
& Consistent Fertilizer Results
 Molten Sulfur Overview
 Sales contracts typically last 1 to 5 years
 Contracts priced as a margin over a published market indicator
  Both sales and purchase prices are tied to a market published index (products/commodities are simultaneously purchased
 and sold)
 Prilling capability provides logistical services on a reservation fee basis; customers pay cost plus if prilling capacity is used
 Cash flow generation for 2010 equally split among traditional sulfur services, including prilling and our fertilizer production
 Fertilizer Overview
 Dedicated offtake from MMLP owned sulfuric acid production facility
 Produces 4 primary sulfur and sulfur-based niche fertilizer products
  Plant nutrient sulfur products - agricultural ground sulfur products produced in Odessa, TX and Seneca, IL
  Ammonium sulfate products - includes nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium products and custom grades of lawn and garden
 fertilizer produced in Plainview, TX and Salt Lake City, UT
  Industrial sulfur - produced in Texarkana, TX for paper manufacturing processes, rubber manufacturing, etc.
  Ammonium thiosulfate - a liquid nutrient sprayed directly on plants and manufactured in Beaumont, TX
 Low competition levels in primary areas of operation (Texas and the Midwest)
 Competitive Advantages
  Proximity of manufacturing plants to customer base
  Reduced freight costs and enhance ability to respond to customer requests
  Regional market dynamics captured through multiple production facilities
  Product offering provides optionality to maximize profits with shifts in demand/supply dynamics

 Business Outlook
  Additional prilling capacity and new reservation fee
 contracts added for 2011
  Expected demand in 2011 fueled by emerging
 markets, particularly as China continues to require
 mass quantities
  Consistent performance from fertilizer expected
 with increased product offering for 2011 (from 2010
 CapEx initiatives) and strong demand given current
 high agricultural pricing
  Full profit upside as sulfur inventory essentially
 carried at no cost due to current stockpile
  Re-negotiated molten sulfur sales contract
 eliminates commodity price exposure

Marine Transportation
 
 

 
Marine Transportation:
Asset Base Well Positioned
 Martin remains a “term market player” for inland transportation services
  Goal is to keep fleet 100% contracted on a long-term basis, as historically achieved
  Contract tenor has shortened, however, strengthening economy will improve contract structure and
 pricing
 Inland utilization forecasted to be > 90% for 2011
  Pressure towards shorter-term contracting or spot pricing not expected to affect utilization levels
  Current spot rates not materially lower than term contract rates
31
 Fleet modernization provides competitive advantage for the Partnership
  Newer and safer equipment is more desirable for clients
  Cost efficiencies (lower maintenance CapEx enables higher profitability for inland fleet)
 
 

 
Marine Asset
Drop-down Acquisition
 In December 2010, acquisition of a 60,000 barrel
 offshore barge from MRMC for $17 million
  The M6000, a 60,000 barrel barge carrying
 clean product (diesel fuel) for MFS, servicing the
 shore-based terminals owned by MMLP and
 currently paired with the MMLP tug LaForce
  Vessel placed under fully-found charter to MFS
 increasing cash flow by approximately $5,000
 per day
  Incremental cash flow of approximately $1.8
 million annually
32
 
 

 
Marine Transportation:
Solid Performance
33
 Business Outlook
  Maintain high utilization rates, with a goal
 of restoring longer term contracts
  Rates have reached market bottom,
 providing significant upside as demand
 rebounds
  Continued industry capacity reduction as
 older fleets are retired
  Expected normalization from heightened
 activity surrounding BP/Macondo tragedy

Financial Overview
 
 

 
Current Capitalization
35
 MMLP issued $70.7 million in common equity units in February 2011
 MMLP is currently in the process of upsizing and extending its revolving credit facility from $275MM to
 $350MM- expected closing 4/15/2011
 
 
 

 
36
Financial Strategy:
No Change in our Discipline
 Target Leverage: 
 Distribution Policy: 
 Risk Management:
 Growth Opportunities:
 3.0x - 3.5x
 Conservative approach to LP distributions
 The Partnership and BoD will consider distribution increases once a
 comfortable DCR has been achieved (target of 1.15x)
 Hedging policies in place regarding type, transactor and counter-party
 thresholds for both interest rate and commodity activity
 The Partnership maintains the following insurance coverage:
 § Full umbrella coverage of $100 million laying over several layers of
 GL, workers’ comp and asset-specific liability lien
 § Marine carries $1 billion of pollution coverage and hull value liability
 Predominantly geared for organic growth in 2011. Approved expansion for
 both the natural gas services & terminalling and storage segments
 Opportunistic acquisitions will continue to be financed using the
 Partnership’s Revolver followed by deleveraging through follow-on equity
 issuances to maintain target leverage
 
 

 
37
  Terminalling and Storage:
  Cornerstone of the Partnership’s stable, fee-based cash flows as the largest segment by cash flow contribution
  Strength in tenor (1 - 12 years), product and geographic diversity; specialized products in niche markets
 allowing for minimum fee/minimum volume mechanisms
  Natural Gas Services:
  Wholesale NGL distribution provides stable margin-based cash flow for Partnership
  Multi-year up to life of reserve contracts for dedicated gathering and processing volumes
  Waskom JV contract mix: 50% Percent of Liquids, 35% Fee, 15% Percent of Proceeds, <1% Keep Whole
  Sulfur Services:
  1-5 year, fee-based “take or pay” prilling agreements with majors (ExxonMobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips, Valero,
 Total); majors pay under a cost plus scenario if capacity is used
  1-2 year supply agreements with oil refiners and natural gas producers; products then sold to phosphate
 producers and other industrial customers
  Largest molten sulfur sales contract renegotiated to a cost plus structure in January 2011, reducing commodity
 exposure
  Manufacturing process of sulfur-based fertilizer provides stable margin-based cash flow for Partnership
  Marine Transportation:
  100% fee-based, primarily term contracts, with temporarily increased spot market activity when rates are
 unfavorable for term contract renewals
  Hard-to-handle product infrastructure provides substantial barriers to entry, even for spot market business
Heavily Weighted Fee-Based Contract Mix
Note: “margin-based” contracts represent i) buy/sell contracts which are priced off of same benchmark simultaneously, and ii) effectively eliminate pricing risk
 
 

 
Active Commodity Risk Management
38
 Established hedging policy to manage commodity risk exposure
  Swaps for crude oil, natural gas, natural gasoline
  Careful monitoring of counterparty risk
 Hedging focused in the Natural Gas Services segment
  45% of volumes hedged for 2011 and 20% for 2012
  A $1 change in natural gas pricing affects cash flow by $32,670 per month in 2011
  A $10 change in oil pricing affects cash flow by $57,670 per month in 2011
 Hedging policy supplements Martin’s predominately fee-based cash flows
  Approximately 63% of the Partnership’s 2011 projected EBITDA consists of fee-based or take-or-pay
 mechanisms, given the specialized assets and unique capabilities
2010 Adjusted EBITDA
 
 

 
39
 Multiple lines of business provide the opportunity to direct capital strategically to multiple segments
  Focus on highest value projects
 Cross Refinery growth opportunities with tire industry demand
  $50 million of investment over 2 years at 4x - 7x EBITDA multiple
  New vacuum tower to increase yield of high viscosity lubes
 § $17 million capital investment with increased EBITDA of $4.5 million annually
 § Anticipated completion Spring 2012
  New hydrogen plant (Pending Investment)
 § $14 million to vertically integrate part of business, allowing Martin to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel for direct
 sale and could also nearly double Cross capacity to 13,500 bbl/d
 § Not yet approved by MMLP BoD
  New high pressure hydrotreater (2,600 psi vs. current 1,300 psi) (Pending Investment)
 § $19 million to facilitate increased non-carcinogenic lube production for tires
 § Not yet approved by MMLP BoD
 Completion of marine transportation fleet modernization (approximately $6 million of remaining expenditures) with new
 inland barges will achieve greater cost efficiencies and provide Martin with a competitive advantage
 Waskom plant capacity will be increased to 320 MMcf/d from current 285 MMcf/d by the end of 2011 and natural gas liquids
 rail loading facility added to take advantage of increased Haynesville drilling activity (cost of $25.5 million total; $12.75 million
 Prism’s share)
 Ability to double or triple capacity at sulfur prilling plants with minimal CapEx requirements
 Overall EBITDA multiple of ~5x for all organic growth projects
Attractive Growth Opportunities
Across Business Segments
