Denver, Colorado, May 9, 2017 – TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (NYSE:TLP) (the Partnership, we, us, our) today announced first quarter 2017 financial and operating results.
“Our business continued to perform extremely well during the first quarter of 2017: achieving another quarter of record revenue, EBITDA and distributable cash flow; and, distribution coverage of more than 1.6 times,” said Fred Boutin, Chief Executive Officer of TransMontaigne Partners. “We had 1.2 million barrels of new tank capacity in service at our Collins Phase I expansion. Since the end of the first quarter we have completed and placed into service an additional 300,000 barrels of capacity and we expect the entire 2.0 million barrel expansion to be in service and producing revenue before the end of the second quarter. This project, along with the strength of our base business, supported an increase in our distribution of 1.5 cents for the first quarter: up from increases of 1 cent per quarter for each of the previous four quarters. Our distribution of 72.5 cents for the first quarter represented growth of 2.1% over the previous quarter and 6.6% over the first quarter of last year.”
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $44.9 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or approximately 10.6%, compared to the $40.6 million reported for the first quarter of 2016. Consolidated EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 of $27.3 million represented a $3.2 million, or approximately 13.3% increase compared to the $24.1 million reported for the first quarter of 2016. The improvement compared to the prior year was primarily attributed to portions of our Collins Phase I terminal expansion coming on-line and re-contracting of storage capacity throughout the past year, including a portion at higher rates and greater utilization.
Terminaling services fees from firm commitments were approximately 71% of first quarter 2017 total revenue. Approximately 58% of our terminaling services revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were generated from agreements with remaining firm commitments of three years or more as of March 31, 2017.

An overview of our financial performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016, includes:
· |
Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $15.4 million compared to $11.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Changes in the primary components of operating income are as follows: |
o |
Revenue increased approximately $4.3 million to $44.9 million due to increases in revenue at the Gulf Coast, River and Southeast terminals of approximately $2.7 million, $0.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in revenue at the Midwest and Brownsville terminals of approximately $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. |
o |
Direct operating costs and expenses increased approximately $0.6 million to $16.5 million due to increases in the Gulf Coast, Brownsville and Southeast terminals of approximately $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease at the River terminals of approximately $0.4 million. Direct operating costs and expenses for the Midwest terminals were consistent. |
o |
Equity-based compensation expense decreased approximately $0.3 million to $1.8 million. |
o |
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately $0.8 million to $8.7 million. |

· |
Net earnings were $13.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $8.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The increase was principally due to the changes in quarterly operating income discussed above and a decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million. |

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Expansion of the Collins bulk storage terminal. We previously entered into long-term terminaling services agreements with various parties for approximately 2.0 million barrels of new storage capacity at our Collins, Mississippi bulk storage terminal. The revenue associated with these agreements comes on-line upon completion of the construction of the new tank capacity. In December 2016, we placed into service 0.9 million barrels of the 2.0 million barrels of new tank capacity, and in February and May 2017 we placed into service an additional 0.3 million and 0.3 million barrels, respectively. Completion of the remaining 0.5 million barrels of new tank capacity will occur in various stages through the second quarter of 2017. The anticipated aggregate cost of the 2.0 million barrels of new capacity is approximately $75

2
million. Construction of the Collins expansion project commenced in the first quarter of 2016, and we have spent approximately $48 million as of March 31, 2017.
Our Collins/Purvis terminal complex is strategically located for the bulk storage market and is the only independent terminal capable of receiving from, delivering to, and transferring refined petroleum products between the Colonial and Plantation pipeline systems. Our facility has current active storage capacity of approximately 4.9 million barrels and is expected to increase to approximately 5.4 million barrels once the remaining 0.5 million barrels of tankage is completed. We are in the process of permitting an additional 5.0 million barrels of capacity for future construction at our Collins terminal and are in active discussions with several prospective customers regarding this potential future capacity.
Senior management changes. On April 25, 2017, Gregory J. Pound notified us of his intention to retire from his position as President and Chief Operating Officer of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”) and the subsidiaries of the Partnership. Mr. Pound’s resignation is currently intended to be effective as of June 30, 2017, subject to adjustment as may be necessary to allow for the orderly transition of his duties. The General Partner is responsible for managing the operations and activities of the Partnership since the Partnership does not have its own officers or employees. The board of the General Partner and its officers and employees wish to thank Mr. Pound for his significant contributions to the Partnership since its inception and wish him the best in his retirement.
On April 26, 2017, the board of directors of the General Partner promoted Jim Dugan to the position of Executive Vice President, Engineering and Operations of the General Partner and the other subsidiaries of the Partnership, each to be effective as of June 30, 2017. Since January 2008, Mr. Dugan, age 59, has served as the Senior Vice President, Engineering and Operations for the General Partner and the subsidiaries of the Partnership. Mr. Dugan joined TransMontaigne Inc. as Engineering Manager in 1998. He has over 16 years of experience in senior leadership positions overseeing domestic and international petroleum marine terminals, pipelines and engineering divisions. Mr. Dugan began his career as a Project Engineer for Gulf Interstate Energy in 1986 and in 1993 he joined Louis Dreyfus Energy as a Project Engineer. He has served on the board of directors for the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) since 2011, and he holds a tank inspector certification through the American Petroleum Institute.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2017 our outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility were $292.5 million. For the trailing twelve months, our Consolidated EBITDA was $99.4 million, resulting in a debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio of 2.94x.
For the first quarter 2017 we reported $9.5 million in total capital expenditures, $7.4 million of which was in our Southeast terminals segment associated with our Collins terminal expansion. As of March 31, 2017 the remaining expenditures for approved projects are estimated to be approximately $30 million. Approved expenditures primarily include the construction costs associated with the tank expansion at our Collins terminal, as further discussed above. We expect to fund our investment and expansion expenditures with additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
On March 13, 2017 we amended and restated our revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date to

March 2022, increase the maximum borrowing line of credit from $400 million to $600 million and allow for up to $175 million in additional future “permitted JV investments”. The terms of the credit facility also permit us to issue senior unsecured notes. Further, at our request, the maximum borrowing line of credit can be increased by an additional $250 million, subject to the approval of the administrative agent and the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders.
“Our recent revolving credit facility amendment adds significant flexibility to our already strong balance sheet position,” said Robert Fuller, Chief Financial Officer of TransMontaigne Partners. “Our amended revolver adds meaningfully to our liquidity and extends the maturity profile of our debt, positioning us well and providing ample liquidity to pursue potential acquisitions and additional growth projects, such as a potential Collins Phase II expansion.”
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION
The Partnership previously announced that it declared a distribution of $0.725 per unit for the period from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. This $0.015 increase over the previous quarter reflects the sixth consecutive increase in the distribution and represents annual growth of 6.6% over the prior year. This distribution was paid on May 8, 2017 to unitholders of record on April 28, 2017.

ATTACHMENT A
SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Most of our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to throughput a minimum volume of product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time, which results in a minimum amount of revenue. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity made available to the customer under the agreement, which also results in a minimum amount of revenue. We refer to these minimum amounts of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “variable.” Our revenue was as follows (in thousands):

1 Distributable cash flow, the distribution coverage ratio and Consolidated EBITDA are not computations based upon generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the computations of our distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA are derived from amounts separately presented in our consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2017. Distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA are presented here because they are widely accepted financial indicators used to compare partnership performance. Further, Consolidated EBITDA is calculated consistent with the provisions of our credit facility and is a financial performance measure used in the calculation of our leverage ratio requirement. We believe that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets, the cash we are generating and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and our general partner.
