These reports are available at www . sec . gov . The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete . All subsequent written and oral forward - looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above . Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on Vertex’s future results . The forward - looking statements included in this document are made only as of the date hereof . Vertex cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements . Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements . Finally, Vertex undertakes no obligation to update these statements after the date of this release, except as required by law, and takes no obligation to update or correct information prepared by third parties that are not paid for by Vertex . If we update one or more forward - looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward - looking statements . The financial projections (the “Projections”) included herein were prepared by Vertex in good faith using assumptions believed to be reasonable . A significant number of assumptions about the operations of the business of Vertex were based, in part, on economic, competitive, and general business conditions prevailing at the time the Projections were developed . Any future changes in these conditions, may materially impact the ability of Vertex to achieve the financial results set forth in the Projections . The Projections are based on numerous assumptions, including realization of the operating strategy of Vertex ; industry performance ; no material adverse changes in applicable legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, or generally accepted accounting principles ; general business and economic conditions ; competition ; retention of key management and other key employees ; absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation, indemnity, or other claims ; minimal changes in current pricing ; static material and equipment pricing ; no significant increases in interest rates or inflation ; and other matters, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex, and some or all of which may not materialize . The Projections also assume the continued uptime of the Company’s facilities at historical levels and the successful funding of, timely completion of, and successful outcome of, planned capital projects . Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the Projections are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change . Although the Projections are presented with numerical specificity and are based on reasonable expectations developed by Vertex’s management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the Projections are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex . Accordingly, the Projections are only estimates and are necessarily speculative in nature . It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the Projections will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the Projections . Such variations may be material and may increase over time . In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections . The projected financial information contained herein should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Vertex, its management, advisors, or any other person that the Projections can or will be achieved . Vertex cautions that the Projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions . As a result, the Projections should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events . DISCLAIMER Forward - looking statement 2

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), in this earnings release we also present Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA . Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are “non - GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance . They are not presented in accordance with GAAP . Refining gross margin is defined as revenues less the cost of fuel intakes and other fuel costs . It excludes operating expense and depreciation attributable to cost of revenues and other non - operating items in cost of revenues . EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for continued and discontinued operations . Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before other income, impairment loss on assets, unrealized (gain)/loss on hedging activities, (gain)/loss on hedge roll (backwardation), environmental clean - up reserve, loss (gain) on change in value of derivative warrant liability, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, gain (loss) on intermediation agreement, Shell transaction related and acquisition expenses and stock - based compensation expense (for continued and discontinued operations) and other unusual or non - recurring items . Refining gross margin is defined as gross profit (loss) less the cost of fuel intakes and other fuel costs . Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period . Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry . We use Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers . Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations . Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP . Some of these limitations are : Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, or future or contractual commitments ; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, capital expenditures or working capital needs ; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments ; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements . In addition, other companies in this industry may calculate Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Vertex does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure . The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items . We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non - GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure . We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non - GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure . For more information on these non - GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of Refining Gross Margin and Refining Gross Margin per throughput barrel to Gross Profit”, each included at the end of this release and “Unaudited Consolidated Continued and Discontinued Operations Reconciliations of Net Loss attributable to Vertex Energy, Inc . , to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA” each included at the end of this release .
