primarily due to more favorable market conditions, largely in residual oil.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Product Margin
Global Partners views product margin as an important performance measure
of the core profitability of its operations. The Partnership reviews product margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. Global
Partners defines product margin as product sales minus product costs. Product sales primarily include sales of unbranded and branded gasoline,
distillates, residual oil, renewable fuels and crude oil, as well as convenience store and prepared food sales, gasoline station rental
income and revenue generated from logistics activities when the Partnership engages in the storage, transloading and shipment of products
owned by others. Product costs include the cost of acquiring products and all associated costs including shipping and handling costs to
bring such products to the point of sale as well as product costs related to convenience store items and costs associated with logistics
activities. The Partnership also looks at product margin on a per unit basis (product margin divided by volume). Product margin is a non-GAAP
financial measure used by management and external users of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements to assess its business.
Product margin should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure
of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, product margin may not be comparable to product margin or a similarly
titled measure of other companies.
3
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used as
supplemental financial measures by management and may be used by external users of Global Partners’ consolidated financial statements,
such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess the Partnership’s:
· compliance with certain financial covenants included in its debt agreements;
· financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis;
· ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness and to make distributions to its partners;
· operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the wholesale, marketing, storing
and distribution of refined petroleum products, gasoline blendstocks, renewable fuels, crude oil and propane, and in the gasoline stations
and convenience stores business, without regard to financing methods and capital structure; and
· viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return of alternative investment opportunities.
Adjusted EBITDA
is EBITDA further adjusted for gains or losses on the sale and disposition of assets, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges
and Global Partners’ proportionate share of EBITDA related to its Spring Partners Retail LLC joint venture, which is accounted
for using the equity method. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash
flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore,
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Distributable Cash Flow
Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure
for the Partnership’s limited partners since it serves as an indicator of Global Partners’ success in providing a cash return
on their investment. Distributable cash flow as defined by the Partnership’s partnership agreement (the “partnership agreement”)
is net income plus depreciation and amortization minus maintenance capital expenditures, as well as adjustments to eliminate items approved
by the audit committee of the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner that are extraordinary or non-recurring in
nature and that would otherwise increase distributable cash flow.
Distributable cash flow as used in the partnership agreement also determines
Global Partners’ ability to make cash distributions on its incentive distribution rights. The investment community also uses a distributable
cash flow metric similar to the metric used in the partnership agreement with respect to publicly traded partnerships to indicate whether
or not such partnerships have generated sufficient earnings on a current or historical level that can sustain distributions on preferred
or common units or support an increase in quarterly cash distributions on common units. The partnership agreement does not permit adjustments
for certain non-cash items, such as net losses on the sale and disposition of assets and goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges.
4
Adjusted distributable
cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure intended to provide management and investors with an enhanced perspective of the Partnership’s
financial performance. Adjusted distributable cash flow is distributable cash flow (as defined in the partnership agreement) further adjusted
for Global Partners’ proportionate share of distributable cash flow related to its Spring Partners Retail LLC joint venture,
which is accounted for using the equity method. Adjusted distributable cash flow is not used in the partnership agreement to determine
the Partnership’s ability to make cash distributions and may be higher or lower than distributable cash flow as calculated under
the partnership agreement.
Distributable cash flow and adjusted distributable cash flow should
not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance
presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow and adjusted distributable cash flow may
not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures of other companies.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements and information in this press release may constitute
“forward-looking statements.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,”
“intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could” or other similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature, although not all forward-looking statements
contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Global Partners’ current expectations and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Partnership. While management believes that these forward-looking statements
are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Partnership will be those that it anticipates.
Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control) including,
without limitation, uncertainty around the timing of an economic recovery in the United States which will impact the demand for the products
we sell and the services that we provide, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Partnership’s
historical experience and present expectations or projections. We believe these assumptions are reasonable given currently available information.
Our assumptions and future performance are subject to a wide range of business risks, uncertainties and factors, which are described in
our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
For additional information regarding known material factors that could
cause actual results to differ from the Partnership’s projected results, please see Global Partners’ filings with the SEC,
including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Global Partners undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

losses is assumed to be allocated to the common unitholders and to the General Partner's general partner interest. Net
income attributable to common limited partners is divided by the weighted average common units outstanding in computing the net
income per limited partner unit.
