TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS IMPROVED
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

HOUSTON – TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported first quarter net income for 2009 of $78.2 million, or $0.62 per unit, compared with net income of $64.1 million, or $0.57 per unit, for the first quarter of 2008.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased 10 percent to $159.0 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $145.1 million for the first quarter of 2008.  EBITDA is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure and is defined and reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure later in this news release.  The weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding totaled 104.7 million units for the first quarter of 2009, compared with 93.2 million units for the first quarter of 2008, reflecting the additional 9.4 million units issued in September 2008 and 4.9 million units issued in February 2008.

“We were very pleased with our results in the first quarter of 2009, as our diversified portfolio of assets again provided the foundation for a solid performance, despite the overall recessionary economic conditions,” said Jerry E. Thompson, president and chief executive officer of the general partner of TEPPCO.  “Our Upstream business segment delivered record EBITDA, reflecting the increased utilization of our strategic pipeline and storage assets throughout Texas and Oklahoma.  EBITDA reported by our Downstream business segment also exceeded first quarter 2008 results, with increased long-haul transportation demand for propane and butane offsetting demand declines for refined

products transportation.  Quarter-over-quarter volume increases on the Jonah system, which is part of our Midstream business segment, also contributed to the improved results.  These increases were partially offset by lower fleet utilization of the Marine Services business segment, which declined 4 percent over the prior year level, reflecting softening barge demand.  However, our fleet is well positioned to benefit from market opportunities as they arise and we remain optimistic about the performance of this segment, which was formed in the first quarter of 2008.”

Thompson continued, “We are pleased with our cash flow this quarter, which solidly supported the $0.725 per unit quarterly distribution rate, or $2.90 on an annualized basis, announced earlier this month.  We also remain focused on maintaining an adequate level of liquidity, which was $357 million at March 31, 2009,” stated Thompson.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Upstream segment
EBITDA for the Upstream segment, which includes gathering, pipeline transportation, marketing and storage of crude oil, distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals and fuel transportation services, increased 33 percent to $51.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, from $39.1 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The improvement was primarily due to favorable marketing margins, increased revenues earned at the Cushing and Midland storage terminals as a result of the contango pricing environment during the first quarter of 2009, and increased volumes and revenues at the partnership’s lubrication services subsidiary, resulting from the acquisition of an additional distributorship during the third quarter of 2008.  These increases were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in operating expenses primarily due to that acquisition in 2008 and lower transportation volumes on the South Texas gathering system.

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Seaway Crude Pipeline was $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with EBITDA of $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2008.  This increase reflects higher long-haul transportation volumes, which averaged 174,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the first quarter of 2009, compared with 166,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2008.  Equity earnings for Seaway totaled $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2008.

Downstream segment
EBITDA for the Downstream segment, which includes pipeline transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals, was $46.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $46.1 million for the first quarter of 2008.  LPGs transportation revenues increased $2.1 million from the first quarter of 2008 to $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2009.  The improved results were driven by increased deliveries of propane, attributable to colder winter weather in the Northeast, higher throughput volumes of butane to meet higher gasoline blending demand, and increased average tariff rates that went into effect in the latter half of 2008.  Total LPG transportation volumes averaged 140,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 1 percent compared with volumes of 142,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease in LPG volumes was due primarily to downtime at a Midwest area petrochemical facility served by the TEPPCO system and warmer winter weather in the Midwest market area.  Refined products transportation revenues decreased $1.4 million, or 4 percent, from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to lower volumes caused by recessionary economic conditions during the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by average tariff rate increases.  Total refined products transportation volumes averaged 407,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2009, compared with 423,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2008.  Other operating revenues decreased $2.6 million as a result of lower excess product storage revenues and lower gains on the sale of product

inventory.  Operating expenses decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to lower product measurement expense in the first quarter of 2009.

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Centennial Pipeline was $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with a loss of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The improved performance was primarily due to lower operating expenses in the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by lower transportation volumes.  Volumes on Centennial averaged approximately 118,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2009, compared with 122,000 bpd in the first quarter of 2008.

Midstream segment
The Midstream segment includes gathering of natural gas, fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGLs), pipeline transportation of NGLs and TEPPCO's ownership interest in Jonah Gas Gathering Company (Jonah).

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2009 was $48.6 million compared to $49.6 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to higher product measurement expenses, partially offset by lower power expense on the NGL pipelines and increased EBITDA from the partnership's investment in Jonah.  NGL transportation revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 4 percent, from the first quarter of 2008, primarily from reduced throughput on the Panola and San Jacinto pipelines resulting from a fire in February 2009 at an adjacent third-party owned site near Carthage in East Texas.

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Jonah was $34.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $31.5 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher volumes on the Jonah-Pinedale system which averaged 2.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the first quarter of 2009, compared with 1.8 Bcf/d in the first quarter of 2008, partially offset by decreased

 
 

 
TEPPCO 1Q 2009 Earnings                                                                                                                                             Page 5

condensate sales.  Equity earnings for Jonah totaled $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with equity earnings of $23.7 million in the first quarter of 2008.

Marine Services segment
EBITDA for the Marine Services segment, which includes marine transportation of refined products, crude oil, asphalt, condensate, heavy fuel oil and other heated oil products via tow boats and tank barges, was $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $10.3 million for the two-month period beginning from the date of acquisition on February 1, 2008, when TEPPCO acquired assets from Cenac Towing, and continuing through March 31, 2008.  TEPPCO’s fleet operated at an 89 percent utilization rate in the first quarter of 2009, compared with a utilization rate of 93 percent during the partnership’s first quarter 2008 ownership period.  The lower utilization rate in the 2009 period reflects reduced demand for barging services as a result of recessionary economic conditions in the industry.

CAPITALIZATION AND LIQUIDITY
Total debt principal outstanding at March 31, 2009 was approximately $2.6 billion.  This amount includes $300 million of junior subordinated notes for which the nationally recognized debt rating agencies ascribe equity credit to approximately 58 percent of the principal amount.  At March 31, 2009, TEPPCO had liquidity of approximately $357 million, which is comprised of cash and available borrowing capacity under the partnership’s revolving credit facility.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $32.1 million, compared with interest expense of $38.6 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to $8.7 million of expense in the first quarter of 2008 for the early redemption of debt at the TE Products Pipeline Company, LLC subsidiary, partially offset by higher debt balances outstanding during the first quarter of 2009.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, TEPPCO spent $92.6 million on revenue-generating and system upgrade projects, in addition to $12.3 million of investment for its share of capital expenditures related to the expansions on the Jonah-Pinedale system. Expenditures for maintenance capital projects totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2009.  For the full-year of 2009, the partnership expects to spend in the range of $275 million to $325 million for revenue-generating capital projects, including its investments in the Jonah joint venture, as well as approximately $50 million for maintenance capital expenditures.   Expected capital expenditures for 2009 have been revised downward to reflect TEPPCO’s withdrawal from the TOPS joint venture.  Contributions for the TOPS joint venture were previously estimated at $70 million for the full year 2009 and were expected to be made in the latter half of the year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include the following non-GAAP measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):  (i) EBITDA, (ii) margin of the Upstream segment, and (iii) gross margin and average daily rate of the Marine Services segment.  Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other entities because other entities may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense – net, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion, and a pro-rata portion (based on our equity ownership) of the interest expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion of each of our joint ventures.  We have included EBITDA measures in our disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures to

 
 

 
TEPPCO 1Q 2009 Earnings                                                                                                                                             Page 7

assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis; to compare the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures; and to value our limited partners’ equity using EBITDA multiples.  Reconciliations of our non-GAAP EBITDA measures to GAAP net income and equity earnings are provided in the Financial Highlights table and the Business Segment Data table.

Margin of our Upstream segment represents revenues generated from the sale of crude and lubrication oils and transportation of crude oil, less the related cost of sales of crude and lubrication oils, in each case prior to the elimination of intercompany amounts.  We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and costs of sales of crude and lubrication oils due to significant fluctuations in the period-to-period level of our marketing activities for these products and the underlying commodity prices.  Additionally, our management uses the non-GAAP measure of margin to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing activities being evaluated. A reconciliation of non-GAAP margin to GAAP segment operating income is provided in the Operating Data table.

Gross margin of our Marine Services segment is calculated as marine transportation revenues less related operating expenses and operating fuel and power.  Average daily rate is calculated as gross margin for the Marine Services segment divided by fleet operating days.  We believe these non-GAAP measures of gross margin and average daily rate are meaningful measures of the financial performance of our Marine Services business, in which we provide services under different types of contracts with varying arrangements for the payment of fuel costs and other operational fees.  These non-GAAP measures allow for comparability of results across different contracts within a given period, as well as between periods.  Furthermore, our management uses these

 
 

 
TEPPCO 1Q 2009 Earnings                                                                                                                                             Page 8

non-GAAP measures to assist them in evaluating results of the Marine Services segment and making decisions regarding the use and deployment of our marine vessels.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin to GAAP segment operating income and the calculation of average daily rate are provided in the Operating Data table.
