Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made by representatives of Legacy Reserves LP (the “Partnership”) during the course
of this presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements
are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership based on management’s experience
and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other
factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Partnership, which may cause
actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking
statements. These include risks relating to financial performance and results, availability of
sufficient cash flow to pay distributions and execute our business plan, prices and demand for oil
and natural gas, our ability to replace reserves and efficiently exploit our current reserves, our
ability to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, and other important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-
looking statements. Please see the factors described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form
10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended September 30, 2008 in Item 1A
under “Risk Factors”. The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.

Adjusted EBITDA & Distributable Cash Flow Reconciliation
This presentation, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliations
of certain non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measures to their nearest
comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures, may be used periodically by
management when discussing Legacy's financial results with investors and analysts and they are also
available on Legacy's website under the Investor Relations tab. Adjusted EBITDA is defined in our
revolving credit facility as net income (loss) plus interest expense; depletion, depreciation, amortization
and accretion; impairment of long-lived assets; (gain) loss on sale of partnership investment; (gain) loss
on sale of assets; equity in (income) loss of partnerships; non-cash compensation expense and
unrealized (gain) loss on oil and natural gas swaps. We define Distributable Cash Flows as Adjusted
EBITDA less cash interest expense, cash settlement of unit options, and development capital
expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow is presented as management believes it
provides additional information and metrics relative to the performance of Legacy's business, such as
the cash distributions we expect to pay to our unitholders, as well as our ability to meet our debt
covenant compliance tests. Management believes that these financial measures indicate to investors
whether or not cash flow is being generated at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our
quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a
similarly titled measure of other publicly traded limited partnerships or limited liability companies
because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow in the same
manner.
