* Distribution coverage of 1.04x

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 8, 2023--Green Plains Partners LP (NASDAQ:GPP) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022. Net income attributable to the partnership was $9.6 million, or $0.41 per common unit, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with net income of $9.9 million, or $0.42 per common unit, for the same period in 2021.

The partnership also reported adjusted EBITDA of $12.7 million and distributable cash flow of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $12.2 million and distributable cash flow of $11.0 million for the same period in 2021. Distribution coverage was 0.99x for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

"Green Plains Partners saw consistent and reliable operations, coupled with low leverage and increased throughput during the quarter," said Todd Becker, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The partnership continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and deliver stable cash flows to unitholders."

 **<u>Fourth Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments</u>**

* On January 19, 2023, the board of directors of the partnership's general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.455 per unit, or approximately $10.8 million, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The distribution is payable on
 February 10, 2023, to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 3, 2023. 

 **Results of Operations**

Consolidated revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $1.9 million compared with the same period for 2021. Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared with the same period for 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Green Plains Inc.'s average production utilization rate was approximately 93% of capacity. Ethanol throughput was 226.2 million gallons, which exceeded the contracted minimum volume commitment. As a result, a prior period deficiency credit of $0.4 million was utilized toward the excess volume. Prior year credits of $0.4 million expired unused, leaving a cumulative balance of minimum volume deficiency credits available to Green Plains Trade as of December 31, 2022 of $1.1 million. If this credit goes unused by Green Plains Trade, the total amount will expire on March 31, 2023. These credits have been recognized in revenue by the partnership, and as such, future volumes throughput by Green Plains Trade in excess of the quarterly minimum volume commitment, up to the amount of these credits, will not be recognized in revenue in future periods prior to expiration.

 **Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are supplemental financial measures used to assess the partnership's financial performance. Management believes adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide investors useful information in assessing the partnership's financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus adjustments for transaction costs related to acquisitions or financing transactions, unit-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on asset sales and the partnership's proportional share of EBITDA adjustments of our equity method investee. Distributable cash flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA less interest paid or payable, income taxes paid or payable, maintenance capital expenditures and the partnership's proportionate share of distributable cash flow adjustments of our equity method investee. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP to analyze the partnership's results.
