Strong Presence in Advantaged
U.S. Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent
Refineries and ethanol plants
are in advantaged locations
See slide 23 for capacities.

Current Macro Environment
Abundant global supply of crude oil
and natural gas
Forecasted world GDP growth
Product shortages in Latin America,
Europe, Africa, and Eastern Canada
Demand response to lower
product prices
SUPPLY

U.S Gulf Coast CDU Capacity
(MBPD)
See slide 20 for notes regarding this slide. Capacities from company 10-K reports as
of December 31, 2015.
Includes 90 MBPD of new capacity from the Houston crude unit, which was
commissioned in June 2016.
Does not include announced WNR acquisition, which is expected to close in 1H17.
Over 55% of our throughput capacity is
located in U.S. Gulf Coast
Access to low cost natural gas and abundant North
American and foreign crudes
Access to deep pool of skilled labor
Pipeline capacity additions have increased crude
optionality and resulted in improved pricing
Proximity to growing product export markets in
Mexico and Latin America
Competitive refined products supplier to Eastern
Canada and Northwest Europe
High weighted average regional Nelson Complexity

We
are
unable
to

a

of
the
above

estimate
of

because
certain
information
needed
to
make
a
reasonable
forward-looking
estimate
is
difficult
to
estimate
and
dependent
on
future
events
which
may
be
uncertain
or
outside

control,

with
respect
to
unknown
financing
terms,
acquisition
timing,
unanticipated

costs,
negotiation
of
acquisition
terms,
and
other
potential
variables.
Accordingly,
a
reconciliation
is
not
available
without
unreasonable
effort.

Ethanol Business
Operations
11 ethanol plants with 1.4 billion gallons annual
production capacity
Dry mill production process, where corn is ground into flour
and mixed with water before fermentation
Low capital investment with scale, located in corn belt
Operational best practices transferred from refining
Outlook
Ethanol demand expected to be strong globally
Driven by increasing usage mandates, low absolute
finished gasoline prices, increased vehicle miles
traveled, and attractive economics for corn-based
ethanol exports

Natural gas prices year for 2016 through December 30 for U.S. and Europe. Estimated per barrel cost of 904,000 mmBtu/day of natural gas consumption at 93%

annual cost
advantage
Our refining operations consume approximately 904,000 mmBtu/day of natural gas, of which
57% is operating expense and balance is cost of goods sold

Prices expected to remain low and disconnected from global oil and gas markets

Investing to Improve Access to North American Crude
Diamond Pipeline
440 miles of 20-inch pipe (200 MBPD capacity) connecting Memphis to Cushing
Received permits required to begin construction; project is on track for completion in 4Q17
Provides supply flexibility and ability to improve crude blend quality
Approximately $925 MM total project cost
Exercised option in Dec 2015 to acquire 50% interest; over $200 MM spent through Sep 30, 2016
Expect to receive cash proceeds if 50% interest is dropped to VLP and 12% pre-tax IRR for VLP

VLP Non-GAAP Disclosures:  EBITDA, Distributable Cash
Flow, Distribution Coverage, and Debt-to-EBITDA
VLP defines EBITDA as net income before income tax expense, interest expense, and depreciation expense. VLP defines
distributable cash flow as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA attributable to its Predecessor and cash payments during the period for
interest, income taxes, and maintenance capital expenditures; plus (ii) adjustments related to minimum throughput
commitments, capital projects prefunded by Valero, and certain other items. VLP defines coverage ratio as the ratio of
distributable cash flow to the total distribution declared.
EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and coverage ratio are supplemental financial measures that are not defined under GAAP.
They may be used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders,
and rating agencies, to:
describe VLP’s expectation of forecasted earnings;
assess VLP’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded limited partnerships in the transportation and
logistics industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;
assess the ability of VLP’s business to generate sufficient cash to support its decision to make distributions to its unitholders;
assess VLP’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
assess the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment
opportunities.
VLP believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial condition and
results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by
operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash provided by operating activities
presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not
all, items that affect net income or net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because EBITDA may be defined differently by
other companies in our industry, VLP’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

VLP Non-GAAP Disclosures:  EBITDA, Distributable Cash
Flow, Distribution Coverage, and Debt-to-EBITDA
VLP uses distributable cash flow to measure whether it has generated from its operations, or “earned,” an amount of
cash sufficient to support the payment of the minimum quarterly distributions. VLP’s partnership agreement contains the
concept of “operating surplus” to determine whether VLP’s operations are generating sufficient cash to support the
distributions that it is paying, as opposed to returning capital to VLP’s partners. Because operating surplus is a
cumulative concept (measured from VLP’s IPO date and compared to cumulative distributions from the IPO date), VLP
uses the term distributable cash flow to approximate operating surplus on a quarterly or annual, rather than a
cumulative, basis. As a result, distributable cash flow is not necessarily indicative of the actual cash VLP has on hand to
distribute or that it is required to distribute.
VLP uses the distribution coverage ratio to reflect the relationship between its distributable cash flow and the total
distribution declared.
The debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in accordance with VLP’s debt covenants is the total debt and capital lease
obligations divided by adjusted pro forma EBITDA for the trailing 12 month period. VLP believes that the presentation of
net debt-to-EBITDA provides useful information to investors to assess its ability to incur and service debt.
