Lowest-Cost Production Process

• As a producer of natural soda ash from trona, Ciner Resources has a significant cost advantage compared to synthetic producers around the world

– Trona-based production consumes less energy and produces fewer undesirable by-products than synthetic production

– Synthetic producers incur additional costs associated with the storage, disposal, or attempted resale of by-products

• Even accounting for higher freight and logistics costs, Ciner Resources is cost competitive with synthetic soda ash producers to most export markets around the world

• Ciner Resources consistently operates at high utilization rates and routinely sells 100% of its production

Beds 24 & 25 (closest to surface) are the key for lower manufacturing costs as

lower halite impurities and shallow beds are conducive to efficient mining

Market Trends

China prices still strong

▪ China domestic prices up sharply in Q3.

▪ Government environmental inspections resulted in temporary shutdowns, which led to a reduction in soda ash supply

▪ China exports down 24% YTD through August, which is the lowest level since 2004

▪ Asia soda ash demand up 12% YTD

Other international markets

▪ South America and Middle East pricing under pressure

▪ Expansion in Turkey pushed European synthetic producers to offer tons into other markets at lower prices

Domestic prices down slightly in 2017

▪ Ciner Turkey expansion caused a drop in prices as global market adjusts to new capacity coming online

Adjusted EBITDA 29.2 30.7

Less: Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest 14.7 15.6

Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Ciner Resources LP $14.5 $15.1

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and certain other expenses that are non-cash charges or that we consider not to

be indicative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a 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 in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, or 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 in this investor presentation provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP

measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and cash flow from operations. Our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an

alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect net income and cash flows

from operations. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by

other companies, including those in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
