MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS REPORTS
2007 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
     KILGORE, Texas, November 6, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: MMLP) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
     MMLP reported net income for the third quarter of 2007 of $5.5 million, or $0.35 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the third quarter of 2006 of $4.3 million, or $0.32 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $184.9 million compared to $147.5 million for the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter 2007 net income was negatively impacted by a $1.2 million non-cash derivatives loss. This non-cash adjustment resulted in a reduction to net income of approximately $0.08 per limited partner unit.
     MMLP reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $17.2 million, or $1.17 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $13.9 million, or $1.05 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $503.0 million, compared to revenues of $427.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income was negatively impacted by a $2.0 million non-cash derivatives loss. This non-cash adjustment resulted in a reduction to net income of approximately $0.15 per limited partner unit.
     The Company’s distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2007 was $10.5 million. The Company’s distributable cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $33.6 million. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which is explained in greater detail below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” The Company has also included below a table entitled “Distributable Cash Flow” in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measurement.
     Included with this press release are MMLP’s Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, its Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and its Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2007.
     Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of Martin Midstream Partners, said “Our overall business continues to perform well heading into the fourth quarter and into 2008. While we experienced our normal third quarter seasonality, I am pleased with the continued strength in the majority of our business segments. Once again, our Natural Gas Services, Marine Transportation and Fertilizer segments performed well. As a result of our improved performance, we have increased our quarterly distribution in each of the last four quarters, resulting in a total increase of 11%. We continue to

1


 

remain positive looking ahead as we benefit from full utilization of our organic growth projects that were under construction during the first half of 2007. Despite some initial operational delays with the third quarter startup of the sulfuric acid plant, we have been running at full capacity for over thirty days and expect to realize our first full quarter of benefit from sulfuric acid operations in the fourth quarter.”

Forward-Looking Statements
     Statements about Martin Midstream Partners’ outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While MMLP believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties and anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Martin Midstream Partners disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
     MMLP reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, from time to time, MMLP uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such

2


 

as distributable cash flow because MMLP’s management believes that this measure may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results and a meaningful measure of MMLP’s cash available to pay distributions. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Distributable cash flow is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it presented as an alternative to income from continuing operations. Furthermore, it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, MMLP has presented herein, and will present in other information it publishes that contains this non-GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
     The Company has included below a table entitled “Distributable Cash Flow” in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. MMLP calculates distributable cash flow as follows: net income (as reported in Statements of Operations), plus depreciation and amortization and amortization of deferred debt issue costs (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus (less) deferred taxes (as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows), plus distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities (as described below), plus invested cash in unconsolidated entities (as described below), less equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Operations), plus non-cash derivatives (gain) loss (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), less maintenance capital expenditures (as reported under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in MMLP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, 2007), plus unit-based compensation (as reported in Statements of Capital).
     MMLP’s distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities is calculated as distributions from unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus return of investments from unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus distributions in-kind from equity investments (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows). For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, MMLP’s distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.2 million, $(0.0) million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, MMLP’s distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.7 million, $2.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
     MMLP’s invested cash in unconsolidated entities is calculated as investments in unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities (as reported under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in MMLP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, 2007). For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, MMLP’s investments in unconsolidated entities and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, MMLP’s investments in unconsolidated entities and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were $6.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
