Forward Looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You typically can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “projects,” “will,” “guidance,” “assumes” and “outlook” or other similar expressions. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. These statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including examination of historical operating trends made by the management of JP Energy Partners LP (the “ Partnership”). Although the Partnership believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, the Partnership cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. When considering these forward- looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Partnership’s 10-K and other documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risk factors and other factors noted in the Partnership’s public filings could cause the Partnership’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Given the uncertainties and risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligations to and do not intend to update or announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this presentation to reflect future events or developments.
This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of those measures to most directly comparable GAPP measures is provided in the appendix to this presentation.
Non-GAAP MeasuresAdjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus (minus) interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, asset impairments, (gains) losses on asset sales, certain non-cash charges such as non-cash equity compensation and non-cash vacation expense, non-cash (gains) losses on commodity derivative contracts (total (gain) loss on commodity derivatives less net cash flow associated with commodity derivatives settled during the period) and selected (gains) charges and transaction costs that are unusual or non-recurring and other selected items that impact comparability.
We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net cash interest paid, income taxes paid and maintenance capital expenditures.

• Refined products and NGL segments offer diversification in mature markets but with considerable growth opportunities
Deliver Consistent Distribution Growth
• Near-term organic growth projects being pursued in existing businesses
• Potential strategic drop-downs from JP Development and Republic Midstream could further bolster growth
• Remain open to acquisition opportunities that are strategic to the platform
Commitment to Financial Flexibility
• Revolver has ~$87 million in availability as of December 31, 2015
• Target 3.5-4.0x leverage over the long-term
Comprehensive Risk Management
• Established policies and procedures to monitor and manage risks associated with commodity prices, counterparty credit and interest rates
• Commodity price exposure is minimized through fixed-fee contracts or margin-based arrangements

2016 JP Energy Guidance
• 2016 Adjusted EBITDA of $50 - $56 million before considering any corporate overhead support(1)
or any acquisitions we may undertake during the year
• Expected 2016 Adjusted EBITDA growth is largely attributed to items within our control,
including expense reductions and efficiency improvements
• Targeting 1x 2016 distribution coverage, which could include some level of corporate overhead
support from our General Partner
• $25 - $35 million of 2016 growth capital expenditures including an estimated $15 million on our
Silver Dollar Pipeline
• Continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and adequate liquidity on our revolving credit facility
• Expect proceeds to JP Energy Partners as well as reduction in working capital and letters of
credit from the previously disclosed expected sale of our Mid-Continent Crude Oil Supply and
Logistics assets

Crude Oil Pipelines and Storage
15
• Expect 2016 Adjusted EBITDA to increase $3 million year-over-year
• Modest expectations for volume growth on our Silver Dollar Pipeline
• Expect full year average barrels per day (“bpd”) on the Silver Dollar System of 30 – 35
mbpd
• Adjusted EBITDA growth is expected to be largely the result of improved efficiencies in our
crude trucking operations and lower headcount
• Crude Oil Pipelines and Storage 2016 Initiatives:
• Efficiency improvement efforts including optimized fleet placement and truck utilization
• Crude Oil Pipelines and Storage segment intends to focus in the Permian Basin and the Eagle
Ford in 2016 as we expect to complete the sale of our Mid-Continent business in Q1 2016
2016 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Overview
2016 Crude GuidanceMidpoint
SDP Fully Utilized Crude Recovery PotentialEBITDA
Asymmetric Crude Price / Volume Exposure
16
• Approximately 20% of 2016 Adjusted EBITDA guidance for all
operational segments is sensitive to crude volumes or margins
• Of this amount ~66% is contracted, fee based pipeline tariff with
limited volume growth expectations
• A majority of 2016 forecasted volumes are related to current pipe-
connected wells, requiring no additional drilling or growth capex
• A 20% change in our 2016 pipeline throughput expectation
impacts Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $2 million, or less than
4% of our total estimated 2016 Adjusted EBITDA
Limited Further Crude Related Downside: 2016 Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Considerable Upside from Crude Market Recovery: EBITDA Growth Potential
Potential Incremental EBITDA
• The Silver Dollar Pipeline throughput capacity is 130 mbpd;
approximately 25% utilized at current volumes
• Lower capex required for incremental volumes
• We expect Permian Basin volumes to increase considerably when
oil prices begin to recover
• Long-term fully utilized pipeline income could increase JP Energy
Adjusted EBITDA by 60%+ over 2016 guidance
Non-Crude Sensitive, 79%
Crude Sensitive, 21%
• Refined Products Terminals Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be relatively flat year-over-year
• Slight volume improvement expectation due to new customers added late in 2015 and our
Ethanol Rail project in North Little Rock
• The current forward curve indicates reduced margins for butane blending activities
• Refined Products Terminals 2016 Initiatives:
• Immediately accretive Ethanol Rail Project at our North Little Rock Terminal
• Increase storage rental income with extension of the contango market
• A 10% change in refined product prices versus our forecast would have a $0.3 million impact on
forecasted Adjusted EBITDA
Refined Products Terminals
17
2016 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Overview
• NGL Distribution and Sales Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow considerably year-over-year
• Full year benefit of cylinder exchange margin improvement
• Growing retail distribution volumes offsetting some margin pressure
• Considerable expense improvement in fleet costs and lower headcount
• NGL Distribution and Sales 2016 Initiatives:
• Expense initiatives across our NGL platform, partially from improved technology
• Expand markets to improve southwest footprint and focus on non-heating degree day
demand
• Increase transportation marketing activity
• A 10% change in Cylinder Exchange volumes versus our forecast would have a $1.3 million impact
on Adjusted EBITDA
• A 5% change in Retail Propane margins versus our forecast would have a $2.5 million impact on
Adjusted EBITDA
NGL Distribution and Sales
18
2016 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Overview

• Lower headcount
• 2016 Corporate Initiatives:
• Reduced T&E spend through improved tracking
• Centralized procurement team reduces costs throughout the company
