1
The following presentation contains forward-looking statements based on management’s
current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future
events. The assumptions and estimates underlying forward-looking statements are inherently
uncertain and, although considered reasonable as of the date of preparation by the
management team of our general partner, are subject to a wide variety of significant business,
economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the prospective information. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we will achieve the future results we expect or that actual results will not differ
materially from expectations.
You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements (including
forecasts and projections regarding our future performance) because actual results may vary
materially from those expressed or implied as a result of various factors, including, but not
limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in CVR Partners, LP’s Annual Report on Form
10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings CVR Partners, LP makes with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
CVR Partners, LP assumes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law.

Capital Structure and Debt Metrics
(1) Amounts presented are gross debt not net of unamortized debt issuance costs or unamortized discount.
(2) Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
(3) Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is on slide 9. The summary unaudited pro forma financial
information for the LTM period assumes CVR Partners owned the East Dubuque Facility for all periods presented and also assumes the $645M principal
balance of the 2023 senior secured notes was outstanding for all periods presented. Pro forma net income (loss) has also been adjusted to exclude $13.0
million of nonrecurring expenses related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory and deferred revenue. Pro forma net income (loss)
includes incremental depreciation resulting from increased fair value of the property, plant and equipment. The summary pro forma financial information is for
informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Partnership's consolidated results of operations actually would have been if the East
Dubuque Merger or financing transactions had occurred at any date, and such data does not purport to project the Partnership's results of operations for any
future period.

To supplement the actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the
Partnership also uses non-GAAP financial measures as discussed below, which are reconciled
to GAAP-based results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an
alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall
understanding of the Partnership’s financial performance for the applicable periods and are
indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future
periods.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest
expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii)
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for share-based
compensation, non-cash; major scheduled turnaround expenses; gain or loss on
extinguishment of debt; loss on disposition of assets; expenses associated with the East
Dubuque Merger and business interruption insurance recovery. We present Adjusted EBITDA
because it is the starting point for our calculation of available cash for distribution. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for
net income or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA enable investors to better understand our ability to make distributions to our common
unitholders, help investors evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater
transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our
presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.
