Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: CLMT) (the "Partnership" or "Calumet") reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $9.5 million compared to $36.1 million for the same period in 2006. Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the Partnership's credit agreements) were $14.7 million and $20.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $40.7 million and $25.7 million, respectively, for the comparable period in 2006. Distributable Cash Flow for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $17.2 million as compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2006. (See the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached tables for a discussion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and other non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures, definitions of such measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $75.1 million compared to net income of $63.5 million for the same period in 2006. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were $90.0 million and $96.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $82.8 million and $81.2 million, respectively, for the same period in 2006. Distributable Cash Flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $83.5 million. (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 such measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
Financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include the financial results of Calumet Lubricants Co., L.P. (the "Predecessor") through January 31, 2006. For the period from January 1, 2006 to January 31, 2006, the Predecessor generated net income of $4.4 million, EBITDA of $9.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million. Substantially all of the assets and operations of the Predecessor and its consolidated subsidiaries were contributed to the Partnership in connection with the initial public offering of 6,450,000 common units representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership that closed on January 31, 2006.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $9.5 million as compared to $36.1 million for the same period in 2006. The Partnership's performance for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year was negatively impacted by lower gross profit. Gross profit was negatively impacted by a decrease in sales volume of specialty products as well as the rising cost of crude oil outpacing increases in the selling price per barrel of our specialty products. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales volume of fuel products. Net income was also negatively affected by an increase of $19.2 million in unrealized loss on derivative instruments to a loss of $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from a gain of $16.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increased loss was primarily due to a favorable market change in third quarter of 2006 for derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges as compared to the same period in 2007.
Specialty Products segment sales volume for the third quarter of 2007 was 22,791 barrels per day (bpd) as compared to 26,380 bpd for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 3,589 bpd or 13.6%, primarily due to lower production because of incremental refining economics associated with the rising cost of crude.
Fuel Products segment sales volume for the third quarter of 2007 was 26,317 bpd as compared to 24,783 bpd in the same period for the prior year, an increase of 1,534 bpd, or 6.2%.
Gross profit by segment for the third quarter of 2007 for specialty products and fuel products was $21.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively, compared to $39.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2006.
As announced on October 19, 2007, Calumet signed a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire Penreco, a Texas general partnership, for approximately $240 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Penreco, which had sales of approximately $432 million in 2006, manufactures and markets highly refined petroleum products, specialty solvents, white mineral oils, petrolatums, natural petroleum sulfonates, cable-filling compounds, refrigeration oils, compressor lubricants and gelled products. The acquisition includes plants in Karns City, PA and Dickinson, TX. Calumet expects the acquisition to close late in the fourth quarter of 2007.
"We are pleased to add Penreco's high quality products to our portfolio, which we expect will provide operational and marketing synergies with our current business," said Bill Grube, Calumet's President and CEO. "Progress continues on our Shreveport refinery capacity expansion project, which we now expect to be substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2007, with production ramping up during the first quarter of 2008. We believe with this acquisition and our internal growth projects we will continue to deliver stable and consistent growth to our unitholders."
As announced on October 8, 2007, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.63 per unit on all outstanding units for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2007 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 2, 2007.
The following table sets forth unaudited information about our combined refinery operations. Refining production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventory.

(2) Total sales volume includes sales from the production of our
refineries, sales of purchased products and sales of inventories.
(3) Feedstock runs represents the barrels per day of crude oil and other
feedstocks processed at our refineries. The decrease in feedstock runs
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was partially due to
unscheduled downtime of certain operating units at our Shreveport
refinery in the second quarter of 2007, with no comparable unscheduled
downtime during the respective period in 2006. Feedstock runs for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 were also negatively affected by
scheduled turnarounds performed at our Shreveport and Princeton
refineries in the first quarter of 2007, with no similar activities in
the comparable period in 2006.
(4) Total refinery production represents the barrels per day of specialty
products and fuel products yielded from processing crude oil and other
refinery feedstocks at our refineries. The difference between total
refinery production and total feedstock runs is primarily a result of
the time lag between the input of feedstock and production of end
products and volume loss.
Update on Calumet's Expansion Project at its Shreveport Refinery
Progress continues on the major expansion project at our Shreveport refinery, which we now expect to be substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2007, with production ramping up during the first quarter of 2008. The expansion project should increase the Shreveport refinery's crude oil throughput capacity by approximately 35% over current levels, from approximately 42,000 bpd to approximately 57,000 bpd. We have spent a total of approximately $192.0 million in capital expenditures related to the project as of September 30, 2007. We now estimate that the total cost of the Shreveport refinery expansion project will be approximately $220.0 million, an increase of $20.0 million from our previous estimate. This increase is primarily due to the continued escalation of material and labor costs which has been as ongoing trend in the industry.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information in this release may contain forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including "may," "believe," "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. These forward- looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties include the success of the Partnership's risk management activities; the availability of, and the Partnership's ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; the Partnership's access to capital to fund acquisitions and its ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms; successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses; environmental liabilities or events that are not covered by an indemnity; insurance or existing reserves; maintenance of the Partnership's credit rating and ability to receive open credit from its suppliers; demand for various grades of crude oil and resulting changes in pricing conditions; fluctuations in refinery capacity; the effects of competition; continued creditworthiness of, and performance by, counter parties; the impact of crude oil price fluctuations; the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations; shortages or cost increases of power supplies, natural gas, materials or labor; weather interference with business operations or project construction; fluctuations in the debt and equity markets; and general economic, market or business conditions. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements included in this release as well as the Partnership's most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q's filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause the Partnership's actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The statements regarding (i) the Shreveport expansion project's expected completion date, the Shreveport refinery expansion project's expected costs and the resulting increases in throughput and production levels and (ii) the Penreco estimated purchase price, closing timeline and all other discussion of the Penreco acquisition, as well as other matters discussed in this news release that are not purely historical data, are forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, and provide reconciliations of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow and (in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) to cash flow from 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 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 define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs), taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA to be Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our credit facility agreements. Consistent with that definition, Adjusted EBITDA, for any period, equals: (1) net income plus (2)(a) interest expense; (b) taxes; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) unrealized losses from mark to market accounting for derivative 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 derivative activities; and (d) other non-cash 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 test thereunder.
We believe that Distributable Cash Flow provides additional information for investors to evaluate the Partnership's ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders.
We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures, cash interest paid (excluding capitalized interest) and income tax expense.
