Presentation Topics HEP IPO Formation & Asset History Growth Approach / Orientation Low Risk Profile Parent Sponsor: HollyFrontier Corporation Growth Opportunities Conclusion / Key Strengths 4
HEP Formation 2004: IPO Detail 5 HEP formed in 2004 and taken public in an Initial Public Offering sponsored by Holly Corporation (now HollyFrontier Corporation NYSE:HFC) • 49% of common units sold to public holders • HFC retained 49% ownership of common units • HFC became 2% General Partner owner
HEP Formation 2004: Rationale 6 • Parent sponsor had significant logistic assets (pipelines, terminals & loading rack facilities) to support its Southwest U.S. refining business • Parent also knew the value of this business would not be fully recognized & appreciated by Wall Street investors as it played only a support role & was not a separate standalone business • Refining business tends to be cyclical & volatile • Logistics businesses (pipelines & terminals) tend to be more steady & stable • The logistics business would likely command a higher valuation by Wall Street investors if separated from the volatile refining business • HEP IPO’d in July 2004 to achieve better value recognition & create a more efficient holding entity for these logistics assets
HEP Formation 2004: Assets & Business 7 Assets / Business at IPO: • Approximately 1,000 miles of refined product pipelines in the Southwest U.S. • 9 product terminals with approximately 2 million barrels of storage in 5 Western & Rocky Mountain states • 2 refined product truck rack loading facilities • 70% JV owner (w/ B-P) of Rio Grande Pipeline , moving LPG’s from West Texas into Mexico • EBITDA (Pre-tax cash flow) at IPO was approximately $35 million annually • Distribution paid to unitholders at IPO was $2/unit annually (approximate 9% yield)

Definitions 32 BPD: Barrels per day DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW: Distributable cash flow (DCF) is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts separately presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the exception of excess cash flows over earnings of SLC Pipeline, maintenance capital expenditures and distributable cash flow from discontinued operations. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. Our historical distributable cash flow is reconciled to net income in footnote 5 to the table in "Item 6. Selected Financial Data" of HEP's 2011 10-K. EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization which is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense net of interest income and (ii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants. Our historical EBITDA is reconciled to net income in footnote 4 to the table in “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” of HEP’s 2011 10-K. STEADY STATE EBITDA: EBITDA as defined above calculated on the basis of our projection of normal pipeline and terminal volumes from our customers, applicable tariffs and fees, and normal expense levels, and assuming no material unplanned shutdowns or unavailable capacity.
