CONTRACT AND MARKET UPDATE – EUROPE  In January 2018, the European Parliament finalized its report on Renewable Energy Directive II (“RED II”) and voted to increase the target share of renewable energy generation in Europe to 35% by 2030. The 2030 renewable energy target includes a significant role for sustainably sourced biomass heat and power projects. The EU Commission, Council, and Parliament are expected to finalize the RED II policy framework toward the end of 2018. In the Netherlands, the government has stated its intent to close the country’s largest natural gas field and is encouraging the 200 largest users of natural gas to convert to an alternative, preferably renewable, source of energy. This is further enhancing interest in biomass industrial heat projects, which are eligible for a government incentive program that recently allocated a further EUR 6 billion to low-carbon energy projects.   Germany’s new energy minister has stated that coal emissions in Germany need to fall by 60% in order to reach the country’s binding 2030 carbon reduction mandates. As all German nuclear generation is expected to be retired by 2022, and given the ongoing need for dispatchable heat and electricity, industrial scale biomass is expected to become an increasingly attractive option.  In Belgium, Engie Energy Management SCRL (“ENGIE”) announced that it has been granted a five-year extension to run its 180 megawatt (“MW”) Max Green power plant in Ghent, Belgium on biomass. The Max Green facility uses approximately 800,000 MTPY of wood pellets at full capacity. In addition to a series of agreements with ENGIE we previously disclosed, the Partnership recently entered into a new agreement with ENGIE to sell an incremental 405,000 MT of wood pellets in the aggregate from 2018 to 2020, bringing average volumes to approximately 274,000 MTPY from 2018 through 2023. Furthermore, in April, the Partnership executed a firm, long-term take-or-pay off-take contract with ENGIE to supply 45,000 MTPY of wood pellets for fifteen years starting in 2021. The Partnership recently delivered several bulk shipments to the energy operators serving a major municipal heating loop in France and executed a firm contract to deliver a large bulk shipment into the Italian heating market.  1)Hawkins Wright: The Outlook for Wood Pellets – Demand, Supply, Costs and Prices; Fourth Quarter 2017 19 European industrial wood pellet demand expected to grow to 19 million tons by 2021, a 14% annual growth rate1

 


CONTRACT AND MARKET UPDATE – ASIA AND REST OF WORLD  In Japan, long-term demand of imported wood pellets continues to grow. METI has approved FiTs for approximately 14 GWs2 of biomass-fired capacity. A number of major utilities have received additional METI approval for their FiTs and several biomass projects are currently being developed without reliance on FiTs. The Japanese government’s Strategic Energy Plan targets approximately 44% baseload generation from nuclear and renewable energy in 2030. However, as of March 2018, only 7 of the 42 operable nuclear reactors have been restarted3, leaving significant baseload needs to be potentially met by biomass and other renewable energy. The Partnership and the Second Hancock JV have entered into 15-year, 630,000 MTPY4, off-take contracts with a major Japanese trading house, subject to conditions precedent. The Partnership also entered into a firm long-term take-or-pay off-take contract with Marubeni Corporation to supply 100,000 MTPY of wood pellets for ten years commencing in 2022 to a new power plant in Japan. In addition, during the first quarter of 2018, the Partnership delivered a shipment to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for an existing co-fired power plant in Japan. This represents the Partnership’s first delivery into the Japanese market.    In South Korea, the country’s sustainable certification system, set to take effect on October 1st of this year, will require wood products to have proper documentation, including third-party certifications, to prove that the wood is legally harvested5. This can be challenging for many existing suppliers, particularly in Southeast Asia, and may result in a structural shift in South Korean utilities’ biomass procurement practices.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued a statement of policy that biomass from managed forests will be treated as carbon neutral when used for energy production. This position aligns with numerous U.S. state policies and international programs such as the European Union Emission Trading Scheme. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Hawkins Wright: The Outlook for Wood Pellets – Demand, Supply, Costs and Prices; Fourth Quarter 2017 Source: Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (“METI”), data is as of September 2017 Source: World Nuclear Association, Nuclear Power in Japan, March 2018 Includes 180,000 MTPY with the Partnership and 450,000 MTPY with the Second Hancock JV, in each case subject to certain conditions precedent Source: Argus Biomass Markets, March 28, 2018 20 Asian industrial wood pellet demand expected to grow to nearly 10 million tons by 2021, a 31% annual growth rate1

VISIBLE GROWTH in Pascagoula4 Drop-Down3 Port of Wilmington Drop-Down3 1) On February 22, 2018, provided full-year 2018 guidance for adjusted EBITDA in a range of $118 million to $122 million. Although we believe that the Partnership’s full-year 2018 guidance for adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow remains achievable despite the February 27, 2018 fire (the “Chesapeake Incident”) at the Partnership’s marine export terminal at the Port of Chesapeake, Virginia (the “Chesapeake terminal”), the actual amounts we report for any specific quarter and for full-year 2018 will be partially dependent on the amount of recoveries from insurers and other responsible parties, the timing and performance of which are not entirely within the Partnership’s control Based on estimated run-rate adjusted EBITDA for Wilmington once the Hamlet plant reaches its expected full production rate of 600,000 MTPY. Additional details are available as part of our Earnings Release as of May 10, 2017. Although we expect the Hamlet plant to be successfully completed, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor or the Hancock JVs will be successful in completing this development project The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from a plant drop-down is based on similar plants in our portfolio.

References herein to the full financial impact of the Chesapeake Incident include the approximate costs incurred through March 31, 2018 in connection with emergency responses, disposal of wood pellet inventory, asset disposal and repair, as well as associated business continuity expenses, which include incremental logistics costs and loss of margin on incremental wood pellet production, offset by insurance recoveries received by May 3, 2018; 3) As of January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”). For periods before January 1, 2018, AGM per metric ton has been adjusted to reflect the impact of ASC 606 for comparison purposes only; 4) Prior to any distributions paid to our general partner; 5) Common and subordinated unit See slides 41 and 42 for Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton reconciliations.

OUTLOOK & GUIDANCE 1) On February 22, 2018, provided full-year 2018 guidance for adjusted EBITDA in a range of $118 million to $122 million. Although we believe that the Partnership’s full-year 2018 guidance for adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow remains achievable despite the Chesapeake Incident, the actual amounts we report for any specific quarter and for full-year 2018 will be partially dependent on the amount of recoveries from insurers and other responsible parties, the timing and performance of which are not entirely within the Partnership’s control Net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts Prior to any distributions paid to our general partner Common and subordinated unit. On May 3, 2018, reaffirmed full-year 2018 distribution guidance of at least $2.53 per unit 2) 3) 4) 32 See slide 43 for Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow reconciliations 2018 guidance does not include the impact of any potential acquisitions or drop-downs.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Although they should not be considered alternatives to the GAAP presentation of the financial results of the Partnership, management views such non-GAAP measures as important to reflect the Partnership’s actual performance during the periods presented, including as measured against our published guidance, which did not include the impact of certain acquisitions made by the Partnership. 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 asset disposals and 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 revenue-generating activities 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, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, and certain items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations, including certain expenses incurred related to the Chesapeake Incident (consisting of emergency response expenses, expenses related to the disposal of inventory, and asset disposal and repair costs, offset by insurance recoveries). 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, debt premium and original issue discounts. We use distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare the 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 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. 39

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (CONT.) The following table provides a reconciliation of the estimated range of distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA to the estimated range of net income. Guidance was provided on February 22, 2018: 1)Although we believe that the Partnership’s full-year 2018 guidance for adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow remains achievable despite the Chesapeake Incident, the actual amounts we report for any specific quarter and for full-year 2018 is partially dependent on the amount of recoveries from insurers and other responsible parties, the timing and performance of which are not entirely within the Partnership’s control 2)Prior to any distributions paid to our general partner 43 TWELVE MONTHS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2018 ESTIMATED NET INCOME ADD: $28.5 – 32.5 DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION 42.5 INTEREST EXPENSE 34.5 NON-CASH UNIT COMPENSATION EXPENSE 7.0 ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND DISPOSALS 5.0 TRANSACTION EXPENSES 0.5 ESTIMATED ADJUSTED EBITDA1 $118.0 – 122.0 LESS: INTEREST EXPENSE NET OF AMORTIZATION OF DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS AND ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNTS 33.5 MAINTENANCE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES 5.0 ESTIMATED DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW2 $79.5 – 83.5

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (CONT.) Our Sponsor’s estimates of incremental adjusted EBITDA for the Wilmington terminal, the Hamlet plant, and the Greenwood plant 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 Wilmington’s estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA to account for anticipated throughput from the Hamlet plant to the closest GAAP financial measure, and an estimate of incremental adjusted EBITDA for the Hamlet plant, the Greenwood plant, or other potential drop-downs of deep-water marine terminal(s) or wood pellet production plant(s), are not provided because the GAAP net income to be generated by the Wilmington terminal, the Hamlet plant, the Greenwood plant, or other potential drop-downs of deep-water marine terminal(s) or wood pellet production plant(s) is not available without unreasonable effort, in part because the amount of estimated incremental interest expense related to the financing of the additional payment for the Wilmington terminal due upon first deliveries from the Hamlet plant, the Hamlet drop-down, the Greenwood drop-down, or other potential drop-downs of deep-water marine terminal(s) or wood pellet production plant(s) is not available at this time. 45
