Slide 9 Crude distillation capacities by geographic location from company reports and 10-K filings. Gulf Coast region is consistent with EIA’s PADD 3; Mid-Continent region represents PADDs 2 and 4. Valero’s U.S. Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent feedstock ranges are based on quarterly processing rates between 2012 and 1H17. Slide 10 Valero’s actual U.S. gasoline and diesel export volumes and current and potential future gasoline and distillate export capacities are shown in the chart. Potential future gasoline and distillate export capacities are based upon expansion opportunities identified at the St. Charles (gasoline and distillate), Port Arthur (gasoline and distillate), Corpus Christi (gasoline), and Texas City (distillate) refineries. Map shows destinations for products exported from VLO refineries in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Slide 16 Amounts shown represent targeted EBITDA growth. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking targets because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events which may be uncertain or outside of our control, including with respect to unknown financing terms, project timing and costs, and other potential variables. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. Slide 17 Dividend annualized based on most recent quarterly dividend as of Aug 21, 2017.

VLP Non-GAAP Disclosures: EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and Debt-to-EBITDA VLP defines EBITDA as net income before income tax expense, interest expense, and depreciation expense. VLP defines distributable cash flow as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA attributable to its Predecessor and cash payments during the period for interest, income taxes, and maintenance capital expenditures; plus (ii) adjustments related to minimum throughput commitments, capital projects prefunded by Valero, and certain other items. VLP defines coverage ratio as the ratio of distributable cash flow to the total distribution declared. EBITDA, distributable cash flow, debt-to-EBITDA, and coverage ratio are supplemental financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. They may be used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies, to: describe VLP’s expectation of forecasted earnings; assess VLP’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded limited partnerships in the transportation and logistics industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods; assess the ability of VLP’s business to generate sufficient cash to support its decision to make distributions to its unitholders; assess VLP’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and assess the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. VLP believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash provided by operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, VLP’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. VLP uses distributable cash flow to measure whether it has generated from its operations, or “earned,” an amount of cash sufficient to support the payment of the minimum quarterly distributions. VLP’s partnership agreement contains the concept of “operating surplus” to determine whether VLP’s operations are generating sufficient cash to support the distributions that it is paying, as opposed to returning capital to VLP’s partners. Because operating surplus is a cumulative concept (measured from VLP’s IPO date and compared to cumulative distributions from the IPO date), VLP uses the term distributable cash flow to approximate operating surplus on a quarterly or annual, rather than a cumulative, basis. As a result, distributable cash flow is not necessarily indicative of the actual cash VLP has on hand to distribute or that it is required to distribute. VLP uses the distribution coverage ratio to reflect the relationship between its distributable cash flow and the total distribution declared. The debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in accordance with VLP’s debt covenants is the total debt and capital lease obligations divided by adjusted pro forma EBITDA for the trailing 12 month period. VLP believes that the presentation of debt-to-EBITDA provides useful information to investors to assess its ability to incur and service debt.
