Market Seeing Regulatory Stability and Orderly Growth Biomass energy providing a compelling answer to the energy “trilemma” of cost, decarbonization, and grid stability Baseload / dispatachable characteristics of biomass power seen as a major advantage as electricity systems are placed under strain “In the same way generators should pay the cost of pollution, we also want intermittent generators to be responsible for the pressures they add to the system when the wind does not blow or the sun does not shine.” Amber Rudd, November 2015 UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (former) U.K. and EU policy-makers focused on improving financial discipline on a “total cost” basis, leading to more competition among renewables, which biomass can win Asian market maturing towards long-term supply contract structure, and can be cost-competitively supplied from the Southeastern U.S. Developing policies in the U.S. could enable growth, and the U.S. signed and ratified the Paris climate agreement 23 5 Growing Asian Demand Driven by New Feed-In Tariffs, Capacity Needs, and Renewable Energy Standards 4 3 2 1 Policy characteristics for Enviva’s target markets Northern European countries where Enviva’s long-term contracted customers are based

Contract and Market Update - Europe • In the UK, support for the reduction of carbon emissions and renewable energy continues after the Brexit vote. In July, the U.K. announced its 5th carbon budget with emission reduction requirements for 2030, after previously announcing plans to shut down all coal-fired power plants by 2025. In October, parliament agreed to extend the government’s powers to award new contract for difference (CfD) incentives for new low-carbon energy projects out to 2026 from the original end date of 2020 The Macquarie MGT Teesside project in the UK achieved financial close. Our sponsor is the sole supplier of the approximately 1 million MTPY of imported biomass required by the plant, and the Partnership has a contract with our sponsor to supply 375,000 MTPY of these volumes, commencing in 2019 through 2034 • • Drax’s third 660 megawatt (“MW”) biomass unit, anticipated to require more than 2 million MTPY, is awaiting EU state-aid review of its CfD2 DONG Energy began burning wood pellets instead of coal at its 350 MW Studstrup unit 3 CHP plant and is currently testing wood pellets at its 215 MW Avedore unit 1 CHP plant. Dong Energy has stated half of the power and heat production at its Danish power stations must be based on biomass in 2020. Our Sponsor has a ten-year, 420,000 MTPY off-take contract with an affiliate of DONG Energy In the Netherlands, the second and final round of applications for the 2016 renewable incentive program commenced in September with 5.0 billion euros in funding available. The budget for the second round was increased from 4.0 billion euros after the first round (which awarded several biomass projects a total of 2.5 billion euros in subsidies) was oversubscribed. Several utility-scale projects are eligible for the program and are expected to apply in the second round ¹ Hawkins Wright: The Outlook for Wood Pellets – Demand, Supply, Costs and Prices; Third quarter 2016 • • ² CfD – Contract for Difference is a legally binding contract with the UK government that supports biomass conversions in the UK 25 European industrial wood pellet demand expected to grow to 22 million tons by 2020, a 14% annual growth rate1

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance. Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization included in cost of goods sold. We believe adjusted gross margin per metric ton is a meaningful measure because it compares our off-take pricing to our operating costs for a view of profitability and performance on a per metric ton basis. Adjusted gross margin per metric ton will primarily be affected by our ability to meet targeted production volumes and to control direct and indirect costs associated with procurement and delivery of wood fiber to our production plants and the production and distribution of wood pellets. Adjusted EBITDA We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, early retirement of debt obligations, non-cash unit compensation expense, asset impairments and disposals, and certain other items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and other users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Distributable Cash Flow We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures and interest expense net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount. We use distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare cash generating performance of the Partnership from period to period and to compare the cash generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholders. We do not rely on distributable cash flow as a liquidity measure. Adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. 34

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation (Cont.) Our sponsor’s estimates of incremental adjusted EBITDA for the Wilmington terminal are based on numerous assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The assumptions underlying our sponsor’s estimates of incremental adjusted EBITDA generated by certain of its assets are inherently uncertain and subject to significant business, economic, financial, regulatory, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and amounts to differ materially from those estimates. For more information about such significant risks and uncertainties, please see the risk factors discussed or referenced in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q most recently filed with the SEC. A reconciliation of estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is not provided because forward-looking GAAP net income generated by the Wilmington terminal is not accessible and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort. The amount of interest expense with respect to the Wilmington terminal is not accessible or estimable at this time. The amount of actual interest expense incurred could be significant, such that the actual amount of net income generated by the Wilmington terminal could vary substantially from the amount of estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA. 40
