In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information set forth herein and in the press release is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On April 27, 2016, we entered into an amended $664.4 million multi-bank credit facility. The credit facility matures on March 28, 2020, and all amounts outstanding thereunder are due on such date.

The revolving credit facility is used for ongoing working capital needs and general partnership purposes, and to finance permitted investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures.  As of April 27, 2016, we had approximately $513.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.1 million of letters of credit issued, leaving approximately $151.3 million available under our credit facility for future revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit.

The credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries. Obligations under the credit facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and those of the guarantors, including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, bank accounts, marine vessels, equipment, fixed assets and the interests in our subsidiaries and certain of our equity method investees.

We may prepay all amounts outstanding under the credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements. The credit facility requires mandatory prepayments of amounts outstanding thereunder with the net proceeds of certain asset sales, equity issuances and debt incurrences.

Indebtedness under the credit facility bears interest at our option at the Eurodollar Rate (the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin. We pay a per annum fee on all letters of credit issued under the credit facility, and we pay a commitment fee per annum on the unused revolving credit availability under the credit facility. The letter of credit fee, the commitment fee and the applicable margins for our interest rate vary quarterly based on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, being generally computed as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) and are as follows:

As of April 27, 2016, the applicable margin for Eurodollar Rate borrowings is 3.00%.

The credit facility includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 5.25 to 1.00 with a temporary springing provision to 5.50 to 1.00 under certain scenarios. The maximum permitted senior leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility but generally computed as the ratio of total secured funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) is 3.50 to 1.00. The minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined





in the credit facility but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) is 2.50 to 1.00.

In addition, the credit facility contains various covenants, which, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) grant or assume liens; (ii) make investments (including investments in our joint ventures) and acquisitions; (iii) enter into certain types of hedging agreements; (iv) incur or assume indebtedness; (v) sell, transfer, assign or convey assets; (vi) repurchase our equity, make distributions and certain other restricted payments, but the credit facility permits us to make quarterly distributions to unitholders so long as no default or event of default exists under the credit facility; (vii) change the nature of our business; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; (ix) enter into certain burdensome agreements; (x) make certain amendments to the Omnibus Agreement and our material agreements; (xi) make capital expenditures; and (xii) permit our joint ventures to incur indebtedness or grant certain liens.

The credit facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: (i) failure to pay any principal, interest, fees, expenses or other amounts when due; (ii) failure to meet the quarterly financial covenants; (iii) failure to observe any other agreement, obligation, or covenant in the credit facility or any related loan document, subject to cure periods for certain failures; (iv) the failure of any representation or warranty to be materially true and correct when made; (v) our, or any of our subsidiaries’ default under other indebtedness that exceeds a threshold amount; (vi) bankruptcy or other insolvency events involving us or any of our subsidiaries; (vii) judgments against us or any of our subsidiaries, in excess of a threshold amount; (viii) certain ERISA events involving us or any of our subsidiaries, in excess of a threshold amount; (ix) a change in control (as defined in the credit facility); and (x) the invalidity of any of the loan documents or the failure of any of the collateral documents to create a lien on the collateral.

The credit facility also contains certain default provisions relating to Martin Resource Management. If Martin Resource Management no longer controls our general partner, the lenders under the credit facility may declare all amounts outstanding thereunder immediately due and payable. In addition, an event of default by Martin Resource Management under its credit facility could independently result in an event of default under our credit facility if it is deemed to have a material adverse effect on us.

If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries, all indebtedness under our credit facility will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under our credit facility, the lenders may terminate their commitments to lend us money, accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility and exercise other rights and remedies. In addition, if any event of default exists under our credit facility, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS REPORTS
2016 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Maintained leverage profile in challenging environment
Maintained quarterly distribution of $0.8125
New $664 million amended and extended revolving credit facility due March 2020
 
KILGORE, Texas, April 27, 2016 (GlobeNewswire) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: MMLP) (the "Partnership") announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of MMLP, said, "In this challenging environment the portfolio effect of our diverse model provided cumulatively solid first quarter 2016 results. The Partnership finished the quarter with a 0.98 times distribution coverage ratio, inclusive of paying all incentive distribution rights to our general partner. Our adjusted EBITDA was $49.3 million, and our distributable cash flow was $32.5 million. Our maintenance capital expenditures were $7.0 million, approximately 40% of forecasted maintenance capital costs for 2016. This heavy maintenance capital quarter was primarily the result of our refinery turnaround and the dry-docking of our offshore sulfur tow.

"Across our businesses, within the Natural Gas Services segment, our Cardinal Gas Storage division exceeded forecast based on higher than expected interruptible services revenue during the quarter. Our Terminalling and Storage segment performed better than anticipated due to high utilization and strong throughput at our legacy specialty terminals combined with lower operating costs. On the pure sulfur side of our Sulfur Services business, we also exceeded forecast based on reduced costs. Likewise, our fertilizer business performed well late in the quarter and we expect continued strength as some fertilizer application has been delayed into the second quarter of the year.

"While we are facing challenges in several areas, including throughput reductions at our Corpus Christi Crude Terminal, a weaker than anticipated inland marine market and reduced cash flow from our West Texas LPG joint venture, we will again rely on our diverse cash flow model and expect that continued high levels of refinery utilization will serve the Partnership well for the remainder of 2016.

"Additionally, today we closed a two-year extension to the Partnership’s revolving credit facility with our lending syndicate. We were pleased to achieve this extension in the face of a difficult energy lending environment. The Partnership’s credit facility will now mature in March 2020. "

The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $32.5 million compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 of $37.1 million, a decrease of 12%.

The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $49.3 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 of $50.4 million, a decrease of 2%. Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $15.9 million, or $0.33 per limited partner unit. Net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $17.2 million, or $0.37 per limited partner unit.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $225.6 million compared to $305.4 million for the first quarter of 2015. The decline in revenues is attributable primarily to significantly lower natural gas liquids prices.
    
On February 12, 2015, the Partnership exited the natural gas liquids floating storage and trans-loading businesses as a result of the sale of its six liquefied petroleum gas pressure barges, collectively referred to as the "Floating Storage Assets", for $41.3 million. The Partnership recorded a gain on the disposition of $1.5 million.





Distributable cash flow and EBITDA from discontinued operations were negative $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015. Discontinued operations for the first quarter 2015 were $1.2 million, or $0.03 per limited partner unit.

Distributable cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures which are explained in greater detail below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” The Partnership has also included below a table entitled “Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow” in order to show the components of these non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measurement.

Included with this press release are the Partnership's consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and certain prior periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2016.
    
Quarterly Cash Distribution
 
The quarterly cash distribution of $0.8125 per common unit, which was announced on April 21, 2016, is payable on May 13, 2016 to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2016. The ex-dividend date for the cash distribution is May 4, 2016. This distribution reflects an annualized distribution rate of $3.25 per unit.

An investors' conference call to review the first quarter results will be held on Thursday, April 28, 2016, at 8:00 a.m. Central Time. The conference call can be accessed by calling (877) 878-2695.

About Martin Midstream Partners
    
The Partnership is a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the United States Gulf Coast region. The Partnership's primary business segments include: (1) terminalling, storage and packaging services for petroleum products and by-products; (2) natural gas services, including liquids transportation and distribution services and natural gas storage; (3) sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution; and (4) marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Statements about the Partnership's 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 the Partnership's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While the Partnership believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Partnership's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities




and Exchange Commission. The Partnership 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
  
The Partnership's management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to analyze its performance. These include: (1) net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), (2) adjusted EBITDA and (3) distributable cash flow. The Partnership's management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for its operations and the ability to generate and distribute cash flow, and as key components of its internal financial reporting. The Partnership's management believes investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA . Certain items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets. The Partnership has included information concerning EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it provides investors and management with additional information to better understand the following: financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other similarly situated entities; and the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects. The Partnership's method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities. The economic substance behind the Partnership's use of adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its unitholders.

Distributable Cash Flow. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance measure used by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by the Partnership to the cash distributions it expects to pay unitholders. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield, which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
