Lowest-Cost Production ProcessTrona Based Production is Significantly Cost Advantaged

EuropeanSolvay

ChinaSolvay

▪ 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

Ciner Resource LPCo-Gen Project

▪ Ciner will invest ~$45 million over the next year to install a new gas turbine and associated co-generation infrastructure

– New turbine will produce ~1/3 of the electricity currently purchased off the grid

– Cost savings will result in ~$7 million of annual EBITDA initially, rising to ~$12 million once fully utilized

▪ Gas turbine exhaust heat is used to “co-generate” steam for use in surface operations

▪ Currently Ciner purchases 100% of its electricity off the grid

– $30 million annual electricity spend

– ~90% surface

– ~10% underground

New Co-Generation infrastructure provides significant energy cost reduction

Adjusted EBITDA 71.7 56.0

Less: Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest 35.9 28.3

Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Ciner Resources LP $35.8 $27.7

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.
