Kirk Milling, CEO, commented "We are pleased with our start to 2015, as we set a new all-time quarterly production record. Our investments to de-bottleneck our Green River facility drove production volumes 3.8% higher than last year's first quarter. Combining this with rising international prices and lower natural gas costs, our Adjusted EBITDA rose 17% , despite some headwinds from a stronger US dollar that negatively impacted our margins in Europe. Our performance in the first quarter

coupled with our outlook, allowed us to increase our distribution for the third consecutive quarter and continue executing on our target of increasing our distributions by approximately 3 to 6% in 2015."

FIRST QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Net sales
A summary of net sales, sales volumes and average sales price, and the percentage change between the periods, is as follows:

											
 	Three Months Ended 
 March 31,	 	Percent Increase/(Decrease)	
($ in millions, except per ton data)	2015	 	2014

Domestic	$	48.6		 	$	48.6		 	—	 %	
International	$	71.8		 	$	67.6		 	6.2	 %	
Total net sales	$	120.4		 	$	116.2		 	3.6	 %	
Sales volumes:	 	 	 	 	 	
Domestic (thousands of short tons)	209.6		 	204.4		 	2.5	 %	
International (thousands of short tons)	443.5		 	450.8		 	(1.6	)%	
Total soda ash volume sold (thousands of short tons)	653.1		 	655.2		 	(0.3	)%	
Average sales price (per short ton):	 	 	 	 	 	
Domestic	$	231.87		 	$	237.87		 	(2.5	)%	
International	$	161.98		 	$	149.99		 	8.0	 %

Domestic sales	40.4	%	 	41.8	%	 	(3.3	)%	
International sales	59.6	%	 	58.2	%	 	2.4	 %	
Total percent of net sales	100.0	%	 	100.0	%	 			
Our net sales increased by 3.6% to $120.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $116.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , driven by an 8.0% increase in international average sales price due to higher ANSAC prices, partially offset by a decrease in international volumes sold of 1.6% . Domestic average sales price during the first quarter of 2015 decreased 2.5% over the first quarter of 2014 , partially driven by a change in one of our large customer contracts to take delivery of product at the plant.  Generally, we sell soda ash on a delivered basis, inclusive of freight, which is included both in net sales and cost of products sold.
Operating costs and expenses
Our cost of products sold, including depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, decreased by 1.6% to $88.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $89.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , due primarily to a decrease in energy costs as a result of lower natural gas prices, moderately offset by an increase in compensation and benefits due in part to higher pension costs.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16.7% to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , primarily due to higher ANSAC administrative costs.

CAPEX AND ORE TO ASH RATIO
The following table below summarizes our capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, and ore to ash ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :

(1) Ore to ash ratio expresses the number of short tons of trona ore needed to produce one short ton of soda ash and includes our deca rehydration recovery process.	
The increase in capital expenditures during first quarter 2015 compared to first quarter 2014 is due to project timing.
CASH FLOWS AND QUARTERLY CASH DISTRIBUTION
  
Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $34.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $14.3 million of cash generated during three months ended March 31, 2014 , primarily driven by an increase of 22.7% in net income, and $2.2 million of cash flows provided from working capital during the first quarter of 2015 compared to $12.7 million of cash flows used in working capital during the prior-year first quarter.

Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were partially offset by cash distributions paid during the quarter of $21.5 million and $23.1 million , respectively. The higher distributions paid during the first quarter of 2014 is related to the combined cash payout of the fourth quarter 2013 and pro-rata portion of the stub period following the initial public offering.

Quarterly Distribution
On April 17, 2015 , the Partnership declared its first quarter 2015 quarterly distribution of $0.538 per unit. This represents an increase of 1.2% over the last quarterly distribution and an increase of 7.6% over the distribution declared during the first quarter of 2014 . The quarterly cash distribution is payable on May 15, 2015 to unitholders of record on May 1, 2015 .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). We also present the non-GAAP financial measures of:

•	Adjusted EBITDA;	

•	Distributable cash flow; and	

•	Distribution coverage ratio.	
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization and certain other expenses that are non-cash charges or that we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations. Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest, maintenance capital expenditures and income taxes. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. We define distribution coverage ratio as the ratio of distributable cash flow per outstanding unit (as of the end of the period) to cash distributions payable per outstanding unit with respect to such period.

Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
		
•	our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in our industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;	

•	the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;	

•	our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and	

•	the viability of capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.	
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Our non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio should not be considered as an alternatives to GAAP net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio may be defined differently by other companies, including those in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

(1)  The Partnership may fund expansion-related capital expenditures with borrowings under existing credit facilities such that expansion-related capital expenditures will have no impact on cash on hand or the calculation of cash available for distribution.  In certain instances, the timing of the Partnership’s borrowings and/or its cash management practices will result in a mismatch between the period of the borrowing and the period of the capital expenditure.  In those instances, the Partnership adjusts designated reserves (as provided in the partnership agreement) to take account of the timing difference.  Accordingly, expansion-related capital expenditures have been excluded from the presentation of cash available for distribution.
