The Partnership's net loss for the second quarter 2016 includes, but is not limited to, the impact of four items: (1) $147.3 million of non-cash charges due mainly to the Partnership's divestiture of its 50% joint venture interest in Dakota Prairie Refining, LLC ("DPR"); (2) a favorable lower of cost or market ("LCM") inventory adjustment of $36.3 million; (3) net expense of $8.2 million related to the Partnership's ongoing compliance with the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS"); and (4) a $7.1 million loss from unconsolidated affiliates primarily related to DPR, which was included in results from operations until divested on June 27, 2016.

Management Commentary

"We remain focused on strengthening balance sheet liquidity, reducing operating costs and pursuing self-help margin capture throughout our portfolio of assets," stated Tim Go, CEO of Calumet. "We made meaningful progress in each of these areas during the second quarter, despite a material year-over-year decline in benchmark refined product margins, elevated RFS compliance costs and continued commodity price volatility."

"During the second quarter, we divested our 50% joint venture interest in DPR, resulting in a $32 million net increase in Partnership liquidity, raised $400 million through a senior secured notes offering and suspended the payment of our quarterly cash distribution to unitholders that amounted to nearly $225 million of cash outflows in 2015," continued Go. "These decisive actions serve to strengthen our balance sheet in a continued volatile market."

"As of June 30, 2016, we had nearly $470 million in cash and availability on our revolving credit facility, even after $30 million of related party note repayments and $42 million in cash interest payments on outstanding unsecured notes during the second quarter 2016," continued Go.

"Targeted cost reductions and disciplined expense management have resulted in significant savings on a year-to-date basis," continued Go. "Total selling, general and administrative expenses declined $38 million in the first half of 2016, when compared to the prior year period."

"We continue to source increased volumes of cost-advantaged feedstock in our refining system, resulting in a lower overall per barrel delivered cost of crude oil," continued Go. "In the second quarter 2016, we processed a record 35,600 bpd of cost-advantaged heavy Canadian crude oil at our Superior and Great Falls refineries."

"Although specialty products sales volumes increased on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter 2016, a rapid escalation in crude oil prices during the period impacted segment gross profit," continued Go. "We enacted price increases in the specialty products segment in June 2016, in response to higher feedstock costs."

"Looking ahead to the third quarter 2016, we anticipate increased margin capture within our specialty products segment, following recent price increases. In our fuel products segment, we continue to sell gasoline, distillate and jet fuel at a premium to the Gulf Coast in our local markets, although benchmark refined product margins remain constrained by elevated domestic fuel products inventories. We expect our asphalt business to reach a seasonal peak in the third quarter, allowing for the conversion of existing asphalt inventory to cash ahead of the winter," concluded Go.

During the second quarter 2016, total specialty products sales volumes increased 15.6% above year-ago levels. Segment gross profit in the period was impacted by a rapid rise in crude oil prices, which outpaced adjustments in product pricing during the second quarter 2016. In response to higher crude oil prices, the Partnership enacted price increases in the specialty products segment in June 2016.

During the second quarter 2016, a recovery in market premiums on fuel products sold in the Partnership's local refining markets was more than offset by an approximately 42% year-over-year decline in the benchmark Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread and higher RFS compliance costs. The Great Falls refinery operated at approximately 25,500 bpd during the second quarter 2016, in line with expectations. Local Great Falls rack prices remain at a premium to Gulf Coast rack prices.

Oilfield Services Segment | Results Summary


                              Three Months Ended June 30,
                              ---------------------------

                                 (Dollars in millions)

    Oilfield services segment
     gross profit                          $0.8                  $4.2

    Oilfield services segment
     Adjusted EBITDA                     $(7.9)              $(14.2)

The average price of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil declined by more than 20% in the second quarter 2016 when compared to the second quarter 2015. In response to lower crude oil prices, domestic oilfield services activity declined sharply during the past year, as the U.S. land rig count declined more than 53% on a year-over-year basis. The decline in drilling and completion activity had a material adverse impact on the oilfield services segment in the first half 2016. Although significant cost reduction efforts have taken effect within the segment, customer activity was well below prior-year levels during the second quarter 2016, resulting in lower net sales during the period.

Partnership Liquidity

As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership had availability under its revolving credit facility of $437.5 million, based on a $502.0 million borrowing base, $64.4 million in outstanding standby letters of credit and $0.1 million in outstanding borrowings. In addition, the Partnership had $32.2 million of cash on hand as of June 30, 2016. The Partnership believes it will continue to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity and other means by which to meet its financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures.

Financial Guidance

Full-Year 2016 Capital Spending Forecast

For the full year 2016, the Partnership anticipates total capital expenditures between $125.0 million and $150.0 million. Anticipated 2016 capital spending includes: (1) $60.0 million to $70.0 million for capital improvement expenditures; (2) $45.0 million to $55.0 million for replacement and environmental capital expenditures; (3) $10.0 million to $15.0 million for turnaround related expenditures; and (4) $10.0 million for joint venture contributions.

Full-Year 2016 RFS Compliance Impact Forecast

In conjunction with the Partnership's ongoing compliance with the RFS, Calumet expects to purchase blending credits referred to as Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs"). The Partnership records its outstanding RINs obligation as a balance sheet liability. This liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis to reflect the market price of RINs on the last day of each quarter. The Partnership expects its gross estimated annual RINs obligation, which includes RINs that are required to be secured through either blending or through the purchase of RINs in the open market, will be up to 120 million RINs for the full-year 2016, excluding the potential for any hardship waivers that may or may not be granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to any of the Partnership's fuel refineries at a later time. Calumet expects to be able to satisfy a portion of its 2016 gross RINs obligation through internal blending efforts.

Strategic Update

As previously indicated, Calumet is pursuing a series of cost reduction initiatives, margin enhancing measures and low-to-no cost projects that are intended to reduce balance sheet leverage and increase free cash flow on a sustainable basis. By year-end 2018, the program is projected to generate an incremental $150 million to $200 million of annualized EBITDA per year as compared to 2015, including $60 million to $75 million of which is expected to be realized in 2016. For information on forward-looking non-GAAP EBITDA, please see the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Operations Summary

The following table sets forth information about our combined operations, excluding the results of the oilfield services segment. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventories and the sale of purchased fuel product blendstocks such as ethanol and biodiesel and the resale of crude oil in our fuel products segment.

                     The increase in total sales
                      volume for the three months
                      ended June 30, 2016 compared to
                      the same period in 2015 is due
                      primarily to increased sales
                      volume of lubricating oils,
                      solvents and waxes, partially
                      offset by decreased sales of
                      packaged and synthetic
                      specialty products due to
                      market conditions.
                      Additionally, sales volumes of
                      fuel products including asphalt
                      increased as a result of
                      increased production at the
                      Great Falls refinery from the
                      expansion project completed in
                      2016 and market conditions.


                     The increase in total sales
                      volume for the six months ended
                      June 30, 2016 compared to the
                      same period in 2015 is due
                      primarily to increased sales
                      volume of lubricating oils,
                      diesel and asphalt as a result
                      of market conditions and
                      increased production at the
                      Great Falls refinery from the
                      expansion project completed in
                      2016.

                     The increase in total feedstock

                      compared to the same periods in
                      2015 is due primarily to
                      increased feedstock runs at the
                      Great Falls refinery from the
                      expansion project completed in
                      2016 and improved operational
                      reliability, partially offset
                      by decreased feedstock runs
                      related to the production of
                      solvents as a result of market
                      conditions.


    (3)               Total facility production
                      represents the bpd of specialty
                      products and fuel products
                      yielded from processing crude
                      oil and other feedstocks at our
                      facilities and at certain
                      third-party facilities
                      pursuant to supply and/or
                      processing agreements. The
                      difference between total
                      facility production and total
                      feedstock runs is primarily a
                      result of the time lag between
                      the input of feedstocks and
                      production of finished products
                      and volume loss.


                     The change in total facility
                      production for the three and
                      six months ended June 30, 2016
                      compared to the same periods in
                      2015 is due primarily to the
                      operational items discussed
                      above in footnote 2 of this
                      table.


    (4)               Represents production of
                      packaged and synthetic
                      specialty products, including
                      the Royal Purple, Bel-Ray,
                      Calumet Packaging and Missouri

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information in this press release concerning results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, may constitute "forward-looking statements." The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "foresee," "should," "would," "could" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. The statements discussed in this press release that are not purely historical data are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the statements regarding (i) our expectation regarding our business outlook and cash flows, (ii) our expectation regarding anticipated capital expenditures and projected cost reduction initiatives, margin enhancing measures and low-to-no cost projects to reduce balance sheet leverage and increase cash flow, (iii) our access to capital to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures and (iv) expected benefits to the Partnership from the distribution suspension. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future sales and operating results are based on our forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: the overall demand for specialty hydrocarbon products, fuels, other refined products and oilfield services; the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products; our ability to produce specialty products, fuels products and products used in oilfield services that meet our customers' unique and precise specifications; the impact of fluctuations and rapid increases or decreases in crude oil and crack spread prices, including the resulting impact on our liquidity; the results of our hedging and other risk management activities; our ability to comply with financial covenants contained in our debt instruments; the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities and the impact of any completed acquisitions; labor relations; our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms; estimated capital expenditures as a result of our planned organic growth projects and estimated annual EBITDA contributions from such projects; successful integration and future performance of acquired assets, businesses or third-party product supply and processing relationships; our ability to timely and effectively integrate the operations of acquired businesses or assets, particularly those in new geographic areas or in new lines of business; environmental liabilities or events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves; maintenance of our credit ratings and ability to receive open credit lines from our suppliers; demand for various grades of crude oil and resulting changes in pricing conditions; fluctuations in refinery capacity; our ability to access sufficient crude oil supply through long-term or month-to-month evergreen contracts and on the spot market; the effects of competition; continued creditworthiness of, and performance by, counterparties; the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including guidance related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; the costs of complying with the RFS, including the prices paid for RINs; shortages or cost increases of power supplies, natural gas, materials or labor; hurricane or other weather interference with business operations; our ability to access the debt and equity markets; accidents or other unscheduled shutdowns; and general economic, market or business conditions.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include in this press release the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We provide reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to Net income (loss), our most directly comparable financial performance measure. We also provide a reconciliation of Distributable Cash Flow to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, our most directly comparable liquidity measure. Both Net income (loss) and Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities are calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow 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 and support our indebtedness;

    --  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 believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to pay distributions. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations.

We define "EBITDA" for any period as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including debt issuance and extinguishment costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" for any period as: (1) net income (loss) plus; (2)(a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) impairment, (e) unrealized losses from mark-to-market accounting for hedging activities, (f) realized gains under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss), (g) non-cash equity based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss), (h) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties, (i) any net loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss) and (j) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense; minus (3)(a) unrealized gains from mark-to-market accounting for hedging activities, (b) realized losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss) and (c) other non-recurring expenses and unrealized items that reduced net income (loss) for a prior period, but represent a cash item in the current period.

We define "Distributable Cash Flow" for any period as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement and environmental capital expenditures, turnaround costs, cash interest expense (consolidated interest expense less non-cash interest expense), income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, net of cash distributions and income tax expense (benefit). Distributable Cash Flow is used by us, our investors and analysts to analyze our ability to pay distributions.

The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow that are presented in this release reflect the calculation of "Consolidated Cash Flow" contained in the indentures governing our 7.625% senior notes due January 15, 2022, that were issued in November 2013 (the "2022 Notes"), our 6.50% senior notes due April 15, 2021, that were issued in March 2014 (the "2021 Notes"), our 7.75% senior notes due April 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), that were issued in March 2015 and our 11.50% senior secured notes due January 15, 2021 (the "2021 Secured Notes"), that were issued in April 2016. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2021 Notes, 2022 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2021 Secured Notes and Adjusted EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow that are presented in this press release for prior periods have been updated to reflect the use of the new calculations. Please see our filings with the SEC, including our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.

The preliminary expected range for forward-looking non-GAAP EBITDA contained in this press release is provided only on a non-GAAP basis, due to the inherent difficulty of calculating items that would be included in Net income (loss) on a GAAP basis. As a result, reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP EBITDA to GAAP Net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort, and Calumet is unable to address the probable significance of information that is currently unavailable. It is expected that non-GAAP EBITDA, when reported, will reflect the exclusion of, among other things, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and income taxes.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are only three of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner. The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to Net income (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, and Distributable Cash Flow to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, our most directly comparable GAAP liquidity measure, for each of the periods indicated.
