TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND 2008 ANNUAL RESULTS

HOUSTON – TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported fourth quarter net income for 2008 of $34.7 million, or $0.28 per unit, compared with net income of $45.6 million, or $0.42 per unit, for the fourth quarter of 2007.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased 3 percent to $121.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $117.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was reduced by approximately $18.9 million of losses related to product inventories, $2.4 million of expense to decommission sections of gathering lines and write off project development costs, and $1.0 million to reserve for receivables related to a customer bankruptcy filing.  Combined, these items reduced 2008 net income by $22.3 million, or $0.18 per unit.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $193.6 million, or $1.65 per unit, which included losses of approximately $27.0 million related to product inventories, an $8.7 million charge for the early repayment of debt in January 2008 and an estimated $3.7 million of lost revenue related to hurricanes Gustav and Ike in September 2008.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $279.2 million, or $2.60 per unit, which included $78.3 million of gains on the sale of assets and the ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. (MBSP). EBITDA for 2007 (which also includes the $78.3 million of gains on asset sales and MBSP), was $538.0 million, compared with $523.6 million for 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.

“Operationally, TEPPCO’s businesses performed well in the fourth quarter of 2008,” said Jerry E. Thompson, president and chief executive officer of the general partner of TEPPCO.  “Our base transportation business benefited from an increase in crude oil transportation and terminaling volumes and strong seasonal demand for propane, which more than offset lower refined products demand caused by unfavorable economic conditions.  In addition, our marine services business operated at a 95 percent utilization rate.”

“We are disappointed, however, in the fourth quarter $18.9 million loss we recognized associated with inventories we disposed of in our Downstream and Upstream segments.  These losses were compounded by the recent steep decline in energy commodity prices and were in addition to the $8.1 million lower of cost or market adjustment at the end of the third quarter.  We have implemented additional monitoring procedures to reduce the volumes we own at any point in time.  These steps are true to two of our most important financial objectives: generating EBITDA substantially from fee-based activities and minimizing incidental commodity price risk,” stated Thompson.

“In light of the continuing stress in the financial markets, we continue to be cautious regarding our level of growth capital spending for 2009.  The majority of our current capital program is concentrated on the completion of the refined products storage facility at Port Arthur, Texas, and actions associated with the Texas Offshore Port System, or TOPS, joint venture.  However, we do have a back log of smaller, attractive organic projects that we are ready to pursue when financial markets improve,” 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, was $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $26.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  Upstream margins and revenues included losses of $6.7 million primarily related to the sale of crude oil inventory.  The increase in operating and general and administrative expenses reflects approximately $1.0 million to write off uncollected receivables resulting from a customer bankruptcy and incremental expenses due to the Quality Petroleum acquisition in the third quarter of 2008.  Demand for crude oil transportation and terminaling continued to show increases, with crude oil transportation volumes increasing 21 percent from the fourth quarter of 2007 to 333,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Crude oil terminaling volumes increased 63 percent to a record 567,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2008 as customers elected to move barrels into storage in light of the contango price curve.

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Seaway Crude Pipeline was $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with EBITDA of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  The improvement was primarily due to increased long-haul transportation volumes, which averaged 256,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with 132,000 bpd in the same quarter of 2007.  TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA in Seaway was negatively impacted by $1.9 million of losses to dispose of crude oil inventory associated with the pipeline system.  The 2007 period was negatively impacted by operational disruptions at Midwest area refineries.  Equity earnings for Seaway totaled $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with a loss of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Downstream segment
EBITDA for the Downstream segment, which includes pipeline transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals, was $31.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $46.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to $10.3 million of loss on the sale and write down of product inventory balances in the 2008 period.  In addition, the decrease in EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2008 included a $3.0 million increase in operating expenses primarily for repairs and maintenance expense, of which $0.9 million was related to Hurricane Ike repairs, and was impacted by $3.8 million of inventory gains recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007.

LPG transportation revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 increased $5.3 million, or 17 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2007 due primarily to increased demand for propane in the Northeast as a result of colder winter weather in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Delivered volumes of LPGs totaled 12.5 million barrels in the fourth quarter of 2008, an 11 percent increase from 11.3 million barrels delivered in the fourth quarter of 2007, reflecting the higher propane demand in 2008.

Refined products transportation revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased by $2.8 million, or 7 percent, compared with the same period in 2007.  Delivered volumes of refined products totaled 38.0 million barrels in the fourth quarter of 2008, a 16 percent decrease from 45.3 million barrels delivered in the fourth quarter of 2007.  The volume decrease was due primarily to lower short-haul deliveries from the TEPPCO system to Centennial Pipeline at Beaumont, Texas, which have a lower tariff rate to TEPPCO, product supply disruptions caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike in September 2008, mid-continent refinery outages in the 2007 period, and lower demand for motor gasoline and distillates.

 
 
 
TEPPCO 4Q 2008 Earnings    Page 5 

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Centennial Pipeline was a loss of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with income of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  The decrease resulted primarily from lower Midwest demand.  Volumes on Centennial averaged approximately 105,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with 171,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2007.  TEPPCO’s share of equity earnings from Centennial was a loss of $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with a $4.0 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2007.

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

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2008 increased to $48.6 million, from $45.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  The increase was due primarily to increased earnings from TEPPCO’s investment in Jonah, and increased NGL transportation revenues, partially offset by lower natural gas gathering revenues on the Val Verde system.

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from its equity investment in Jonah was $33.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $28.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.  The increase was primarily attributable to new wells connected to the system, resulting in higher volumes on the system.  Total throughput on the Jonah-Pinedale system averaged 2.0 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with 1.8 Bcf/d in the fourth quarter of 2007.  Equity earnings for Jonah totaled $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to equity earnings of $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.  TEPPCO’s share of equity earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008 included a $2.0 million non-cash charge to depreciation expense to abandon certain portions of gathering lines as producers in the basin centralize well connections to reduce their ongoing operating expense.  The cost of the well centralizations are borne

by the producers and do not reduce the amount of gas that is gathered by the Jonah system.

Marine Services segment
The Marine Services segment, which was added to the partnership effective February 1, 2008, includes marine transportation of refined products, crude oil, asphalt, condensate, heavy fuel oil and other heated oil products via tow boats and tank barges.   Marine Services generated EBITDA of $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.  TEPPCO’s fleet of 51 tow boats and 113 tank barges operated at a 95% utilization rate in the fourth quarter of 2008.

CAPITALIZATION AND LIQUIDITY
Total debt principal outstanding at December 31, 2008 was approximately $2.5 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 December 31, 2008, TEPPCO had liquidity of approximately $404 million which is comprised of cash and available borrowing capacity under the partnership’s revolving credit facility.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $34.1 million, compared with interest expense of $29.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.  The increase was primarily due to an increased principal amount of debt outstanding to fund a portion of growth capital expenditures and the marine transportation acquisitions in 2008.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, TEPPCO spent $242.0 million on revenue-generating and system upgrade projects in addition to $111.5 million of investment for its share of capital expenditures related to the expansions on the Jonah-Pinedale system, $36.0 million for its portion of investment in TOPS and $58.5 million on capital spending to maintain existing assets.  For 2009, the partnership expects to spend in the

 
 
 
TEPPCO 4Q 2008 Earnings    Page 7 

range of $350 million to $400 million for revenue-generating capital projects, including its investments in the Jonah and TOPS joint ventures, as well as approximately $50 million to $55 million for maintenance capital expenditures.

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):  EBITDA, EBITDA excluding gains from sales of assets and ownership interests, margin of the Upstream segment, and 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 and amortization, and a pro-rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint ventures.  We have included EBITDA and related adjusted EBITDA measures in our disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business.  Further, we believe EBITDA and related adjusted EBITDA measures provide useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis.  As a result, these measures provide investors with a helpful tool for comparing the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.  EBITDA multiples are also used by our investors in assisting in the valuation of our limited partners’ equity.  Reconciliations of these

 
 
 
TEPPCO 4Q 2008 Earnings    Page 8 

measures to net income and equity earnings are provided in the Financial Highlights table and the Business Segment Data table.

Margin of our Upstream segment is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, in each case prior to the elimination of intercompany sales, revenues and purchases between wholly owned subsidiaries.  We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed.  Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities being evaluated. A reconciliation of margin to segment operating income is provided in the Operating Data table.

Gross margin of our Marine Services segment is calculated as marine transportation revenues less operating expense and operating fuel and power, and average daily rate is calculated as gross margin divided by fleet operating days.  We believe gross margin, in conjunction with average daily rate, are meaningful measures of the financial performance of our Marine Services segment, 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 our different contracts within a given period, as well as between periods.  Further, our management uses these measures internally to assist them in evaluating segment results and making decisions regarding the use and deployment of our marine vessels. A reconciliation of gross margin to segment operating income and the calculation of average daily rate are provided in the Operating Data table.
