Lehigh Gas Partners LP Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results and Announces a 5.5% Increase in Its Quarterly Cash Distribution

ALLENTOWN, PA (August 8, 2013) - Lehigh Gas Partners LP (NYSE: LGP) (the “Partnership,” “we,” or “us”) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner approved a 5.5% increase in the Partnership’s cash distribution per unit from the current annual rate of $1.81 per unit ($0.4525 per quarter) to $1.91 per unit ($0.4775 per quarter).  In addition to the actual financial results for the quarter, the Partnership is providing certain pro forma results for the period ended June 30, 2012.  The Partnership completed its initial public offering on October 30, 2012, and, as such, management believes the pro forma results for the periods ended June 30, 2012, provide investors with a more relevant comparison than the actual results of our predecessor for the periods ended June 30, 2012.  Please see the section entitled “Pro Forma Financial Results” for additional information on our pro forma financial results.

In the Second Quarter of 2013, the Partnership:

·Distributed 160.7 million gallons of fuel compared to pro forma second quarter 2012 volume of 154.0 million gallons of fuel, a 4.4% increase.

·Generated gross profit from fuel sales of $12.0 million compared to pro forma second quarter 2012 gross profit from fuel sales of $10.7 million, a 12.1% increase.

·Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $14.9 million compared to pro forma second quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of $11.1 million, a 34.1% increase.

·Declared a second quarter distribution of $0.4775 per unit, a 5.5% increase over the current quarterly distribution of $0.4525 per unit.

Second Quarter 2013 Results

Net income for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $5.5 million or $0.36 per common unit.  For the quarter, EBITDA totaled $14.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $14.9 million and Distributable Cash Flow amounted to $11.2 million or $0.75 per common unit.  Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures of “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Distributable Cash Flow” for a discussion of our use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information.

“The Partnership posted strong second quarter financial results.  We continue to successfully execute our core strategy, as evident by our financial results and our recent announcement of two asset acquisitions,” said Chairman and CEO Joe Topper.  “I am also pleased to announce our $0.025 per unit quarterly distribution increase, which is our second consecutive quarterly distribution increase,” Topper added.

Total revenue amounted to $487.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, consisting of $477.4 million of aggregate revenues from fuel sales, including revenues from fuel sales to affiliates, and $10.3 million of aggregate rent income, including rent income from affiliates.  The aggregate gross profit from fuel sales amounted to $12.0 million for the quarter.  During the quarter, we distributed 160.7 million gallons of fuel resulting in a $2.97 average selling price per gallon and a $0.075 average margin per gallon.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, on a pro forma basis, the Partnership distributed 154.0 million gallons of fuel at an average selling price of $3.09 per gallon and an average margin of $0.069 per gallon, resulting in a gross profit of $10.7 million.  The increase in gross profit from fuel sales for the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012 was due to the higher average fuel margin and higher overall fuel volume for the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012.  The increase in fuel volume was primarily due to the Express Lane acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2012 and, to a lesser extent, sites associated with the Getty leases signed during the second quarter of 2012 and subsequent Getty lease sites acquired later in the year, offset primarily by marketplace volume declines at certain sites and, to a lesser extent and on a net basis, certain dealer supply contracts that did not renew.  On a pro forma basis in the second quarter of 2012, the Partnership recorded $5.8 million in rent income.  The increase in rent income in the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012 is due to the increased rent associated primarily with the Express Lane and Dunmore acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2012 and, to a lesser extent, the Getty leases that commenced during the second quarter of 2012 and certain Getty leases signed later in 2012.

Total expenses amounted to $479.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, including rent expense of $3.9 million, operating expenses of $1.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $4.9 million, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.8 million.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, pro forma total expenses amounted to $472.0 million, including rent expense of $2.8 million, operating expenses of $0.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million.  The increase in rent expense in the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012 is due to the increase in leasehold sites, primarily as a result of the Express Lane acquisition and the Getty leases signed last year.  The increase in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012 is due to the increased number of owned and leased sites relative to the previous year.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2013 relative to 2012 is primarily due to increased professional fees, equity compensation expense and public company expenses.

Acquisition and Financing Activity

As previously announced, the Partnership entered into two asset purchase agreements subsequent to the quarter end.  On August 1, 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase 30 fee and 4 leasehold sites from Rocky Top Markets, LLC and Rocky Top Properties, LLC (collectively, “Rocky Top”) for total consideration of $36.9 million, of which $10.7 million will be paid at closing.  The Rocky Top portfolio sites are located in and around the Knoxville, TN region and along Interstate Highways 40 and 75.  The total portfolio sold 34.1 million gallons of motor fuel in 2012.  On August 7, 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase 14 fee and 3 leasehold sites from Rogers Petroleum, Inc. and affiliates (“Rogers”) for total consideration of $21.1 million.  The Rogers portfolio sites are located in eastern Tennessee, with a concentration in the Tri-Cities, TN region and along Interstate 81.  In 2012, the sites sold 18.7 million gallons of motor fuel.

“We are excited to enter into the Tennessee market with these two transactions,” said Chairman and CEO Joe Topper.  “We are pleased to be able to acquire such quality assets and the transactions provide us a solid platform to expand in the region,” Topper further added.

The transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2013.  The Partnership intends to fund the transactions from borrowings available under its credit facility.  For a more detailed description of the transactions, please see the Partnership’s Form 8-K filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2013, and August 8, 2013.

In addition to the transactions above, during the quarter, the Partnership disposed of five non-core sites previously listed as assets held for sale and one additional site for total consideration of $2.2 million.  The Partnership also repurchased 4 sites for total consideration of $7.1 million that it had previously sold in a sale leaseback transaction.  Additionally, the Partnership purchased two sites in Florida for total consideration of $1.6 million that it had previously operated as leasehold sites and one site in Pennsylvania for $0.7 million.

Credit Facility Expansion and Amendment

As previously announced on May 13, 2013, the Partnership increased the size of its credit facility by $75 million to $324 million.  In addition to the increase in the facility size, the facility was also amended to modify certain terms of the agreement to allow for greater leverage and flexibility in regards to acquisitions.  A more detailed description of the credit facility amendment may be found in the Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership had $184.9 million of outstanding borrowings and $124.5 million available for borrowing, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, under the Partnership’s credit facility.

Distributions to Unitholders

The Partnership announced today that the Board of Directors of its general partner approved a 5.5% increase in the Partnership’s cash distribution per unit from the current annual rate of $1.81 per unit ($0.4525 per quarter) to $1.91 per unit ($0.4775 per quarter).  The increased distribution represents an annual distribution rate of 7.1% based on the Partnership’s common unit closing price on August 7, 2013 of $27.00.  The new quarterly distribution rate of $0.4775 per unit commences with the payment of the second quarter cash distribution, payable on September 3, 2013 to all unitholders of record as of August 23, 2013.  In total, the annual cash distribution per unit has increased 9.1%, or $0.16 per unit, from the initial annual distribution rate of $1.75 per unit at the time of the initial public offering in October 2012.  In reviewing its distribution policy, the Board determined that it will continue to evaluate the

Partnership’s distribution each quarter.  As previously announced, it is the intent of the Partnership going forward to declare its quarterly cash distribution concurrently with its earnings release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures of “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Distributable Cash Flow”

(Presented on an Actual and / or Pro Forma Basis)

We use the non-GAAP financial measures (computed on an actual and pro forma basis) of “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Distributable Cash Flow” in this press release.  EBITDA represents net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude gains or losses on sales of assets and certain non-cash items as deemed appropriate by management.  Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures and income tax expense.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash flow are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and to assess our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of sales of our assets which do not result directly from our wholesale distribution of motor fuel and our leasing of real property.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are used to assess our ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unit-holders.

We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash flows provided by operating activities.  Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following tables present reconciliations of both actual and pro forma EBITDA, actual and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, and actual and pro forma Distributable Cash Flow to actual and pro forma net income for each of the periods indicated.

Pro Forma Financial Results

As presented herein in this press release, the (unaudited) pro forma financial statements of the Partnership are derived from the historical combined financial statements as of and for the period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 and have been prepared to give effect to formation of the Partnership, the contribution of certain assets, liabilities, and / or equity interests of the Lehigh Gas Entities (Predecessor) to the Partnership, the new Partnership credit facility agreement, the Offering, and the use of proceeds from the Offering and related transactions.

The (unaudited) pro forma statement of operations gives effect to the adjustments as if they had occurred beginning January 1, 2012 for the period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.  As more fully discussed below, the pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments.

In connection with the Offering, certain assets, liabilities, and / or equity interests of the Predecessor were contributed to the Partnership, and the Partnership began providing wholesale fuel distribution services for LGO, an affiliate of the Predecessor, and other, unrelated third-party customers.  The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Predecessor for periods prior to their actual contribution to the Partnership are presented as the Predecessor.

The (unaudited) pro forma financial statements of the Partnership should be read together with the historical combined financial statements of the Predecessor and the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The (unaudited) pro forma financial statements of the Partnership were derived by making certain adjustments to the historical combined financial statements of the Predecessor for the periods January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.  As noted above, the pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments.  However, management believes the estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions (as discussed below).  Management also believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those estimates and assumptions and that they are properly applied in the (unaudited) pro forma financial statements.  The (unaudited) pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the Partnership had assumed the operations of the Predecessor on the dates indicated nor are they indicative of future results, in part because of the exclusion of various operating expenses.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements principally include the following transactions:

·The contribution to the Partnership by the Predecessor of substantially all of its wholesale motor fuel distribution business, other than certain assets that do not fit our strategic or geographic plans, environmental indemnification assets, environmental liabilities, and certain other assets and liabilities;

·The contribution to the Partnership by the Predecessor of certain owned and leased properties;

·The issuance and sale by the Partnership of 6,900,000 common units to the public, at $20.00 per common unit, with net proceeds to the Partnership of $125.7 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discount of 6.5% and a structuring fee of 0.5% (from the $20.00 per common unit offering price) and $2.6 million of offering expenses;

·The payment by the Partnership of an aggregate of $6.8 million of transaction costs related to the offering and the new credit facility;

·The Partnership’s entry into a new credit facility agreement with a revolving credit facility, which was drawn in part upon the closing of the Offering; and,

·U.S. federal and state income tax incurred by a taxable wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership.
