Safe Harbor
Forward-Looking Statements /Non-GAAP Measures
Some of the statements in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the
U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “may,” “assume,”
“forecast,” “position,” “predict,” “strategy,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “will,” “project,” “budget,” “potential,” or
“continue,” and similar references to future periods.  However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward
looking.  Descriptions of our objectives, goals, plans, projections, estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, cost savings, strategy for
customer retention and strategy for risk management and other statements of future events or conditions are also forward looking statements.  
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current
beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and
trends, the economy and other future conditions. Our actual future results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in
the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to
a significant decrease in in a demand for refined products, natural gas or our materials handling services in the areas we serve; derivatives
legislation could impact our ability to use derivatives to reduce the effect of commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and adversely affect our
hedging activities; and, warmer weather during winter months and non-performance by our customers, suppliers and counterparties. 
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the
date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be
made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.  For additional information about risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations, please refer to Sprague’s current Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and our most recent 10-K available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website www.spragueenergy.com.
In this presentation we refer to certain financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP,
including adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA.  For a description of how we define these non-GAAP financial measures see “Part I,
Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – How Management Evaluates Our Results of
Operations.” in Sprague’s current Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our most recent 10-K available in the “Investor Relations” section of our
website www.spragueenergy.com.

Properties LLC. As the acquisition of Kildair by the Partnership represents a transfer of entities under common control, the Consolidated and Combined Financial
Statements and related information presented herein have been recast by including the historical financial results of Kildair for all periods that were under common
control.
2) The unaudited pro forma information gives effect to certain pro forma adjustments as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2013. The adjustments are based upon
available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments. Pro forma adjustments reflect the
following:
a) The pro forma adjustment for interest expense and deferred financing fees under the new credit agreement. The calculation is based on the monthly average working
capital and acquisition facility multiplied by the decreases in the borrowing rate of 0.50% for borrowings under the working capital facility, less the increase of
commitment fees due to the increased size of the facility.
b) The elimination of corporate overhead charges from the Parent offset by increases in incentive compensation.
c) The adjustments to reflect the conversion of the Predecessor to a partnership resulting in the elimination of all U.S. federal income taxes, as well as an adjustment of
income taxes in certain state jurisdictions in which the partnership operates, and to record estimated taxes for the activities conducted by the Partnership at the applicable
state statutory rates.
3) Adjusted EBITDA respresents EBITDA increased by unrealized hedging losses and decreased by unrealized hedging gains, in each case with respect to refined
products and natural gas inventory and natural gas transportation contracts, and adjusted for bio-fuel excise tax credits.
4) To report distributable cash flow excluding Kildair for the periods that were under common control and prior to the Kildair acquisition on December 9, 2014.
