INDIANAPOLIS, May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (Nasdaq: CLMT) (the "Partnership" or "Calumet") reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $13.1 million compared to net income of $75.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Calumet reported net cash provided by operating activities of $57.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $32.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the Partnership's credit agreements) were $9.1 million and $20.8 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $99.7 million and $50.1 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Distributable Cash Flow (as defined below) for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $8.2 million as compared to $38.9 million for same period in 2009. The $29.3 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA quarter over quarter was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit discussed below, partially offset by a decrease in realized loss on derivative instruments of $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. (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.)

Net income for the first quarter of 2010 decreased by $88.7 million as compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to both a decrease of $47.3 million in gross profit and decreased unrealized derivative gains of $47.5 million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to increasing crude oil prices during the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the significant decline in crude oil prices in the first quarter of 2009.


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
	(In millions)
Gross profit by segment:
Specialty products		$ 23.4	$ 59.8
Fuel products		8.3	19.2
Total gross profit		$ 31.7	$ 79.0

Gross profit by segment for the first quarter of 2010 for specialty products and fuel products was $23.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, compared to $59.8 million and $19.2 million, respectively, for the same period in 2009. The decrease of $36.4 million in specialty products segment gross profit was primarily due to an increase of 91.5% in the average cost of crude oil per barrel and reduced production. This lower production was primarily due to the deliberate reduction in crude oil run rates at our facilities due to poor economics of running additional barrels. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in the average sales price per barrel, which increased our specialty product segment sales by 29.9%, and an increase in sales volume of 10.9%.

Fuel products segment gross profit was negatively impacted by the sales volume of our fuel products falling by 18.1% due to reduced production at our Shreveport refinery. In addition, the average cost of crude oil per barrel increased by 93.7% as compared to an increased average selling price per barrel of 55.6%. These reductions in gross profit were partially offset by a $3.8 million net increase in derivative gains on our fuel products cash flow hedges recorded in sales and cost of sales.

Total specialty products segment sales volume for the first quarter of 2010 was 27,278 barrels per day ("bpd") as compared to 24,589 bpd for the same period in 2009, an increase of 2,689 bpd or 10.9%. The sales volume increase for the specialty products segment was primarily driven by lubricating oils and solvents sales volume due to the improving economic conditions and from our specialty products agreements with LyondellBasell which were effective in November 2009.

Total fuel products segment sales volume for the first quarter of 2010 was 24,422 bpd as compared to 29,833 bpd in the same period in 2009, a decrease of 5,411 bpd, or 18.1%. The sales volume decrease for the fuels segment was primarily due to the decrease in production rates at the Shreveport refinery resulting from the temporary idling of the refinery's sour crude oil unit during the entire first quarter of 2010 and an environmental operating unit failure which occurred in February 2010.

"We chose to operate our facilities at reduced rates during the first quarter of 2010 due to weak refining crack spreads. Fuel products crack spreads have strengthened in recent weeks which are encouraging for our fuel products segment. We have seen a continued increase in demand for our specialty products and expect to increase production rates at all of our facilities during the second quarter in order to satisfy this increased demand," said Bill Grube, Calumet's Chief Executive Officer and President.

Quarterly Distribution

On April 12, 2010, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.455 per unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 on all outstanding units. The distribution will be paid on May 14, 2010 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 4, 2010.

Operations Summary

The following table sets forth unaudited information about our combined operations. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventory.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010	2009
Sales volume (bpd):
Specialty products	27,278	24,589
Fuel products	24,422	29,833
Total (1)	51,700	54,422

Total feedstock runs (bpd) (2)	48,331	63,219
Facility production (bpd): (3)
Specialty products:
Lubricating oils	11,279	11,650
Solvents	8,070	8,267
Waxes	1,009	1,101
Fuels	1,150	666
Asphalt and other by-products	5,766	7,735
Total	27,274	29,419
Fuel products:
Gasoline	8,777	11,078
Diesel	8,986	12,750
Jet fuel	5,254	7,346
By-products	297	275
Total	23,314	31,449
Total facility production (3)	50,588	60,868
(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 March 31, 2010 compared to the prior period is primarily due to the deliberate reduction in crude oil run rates at our facilities due to 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 specialty products agreements with LyondellBasell in 2010. The difference between total 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 total facility production is a result of reduced feedstock runs as discussed above.

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 March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2010, Calumet had availability on its revolving credit facility of $141.2 million, based upon a $209.4 million borrowing base, $61.2 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, and outstanding borrowings of $7.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Calumet believes that it will have sufficient cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity to meet Calumet's 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. Please refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt and Credit Facilities" within this item for additional details regarding our credit agreements.

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