On April 26, 2018, USD Partners LP (the “Partnership”) issued a press release announcing that the board of directors of USD Partners GP LLC, acting in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3525 per unit for the first quarter of 2018 ($1.41 per unit on an annualized basis), representing an increase of $0.0025 per unit or 0.7% over the prior quarter and 5.2% over the first quarter of 2017. The distribution is payable on May 11, 2018, to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 7, 2018.

Recent Commercial Developments

Additionally, the Partnership announced that during March and April 2018, the initial customer of the Stroud Terminal ("Stroud Customer"), an investment grade multi-national energy company, secured the remaining available capacity at the Stroud terminal from USD Marketing LLC for periods beginning in the second quarter of 2018 and ending in June 2019 and January 2020, to the Marketing Services Agreement established with the Partnership at the time of the Stroud acquisition.

Similarly, the Partnership obtained origination capacity from customers of the Hardisty terminal and immediately contracted with the Stroud customer for this capacity at the same economic terms as the initial customer agreements. Consistent with the new agreements for destination capacity at the Stroud terminal, the Hardisty origination capacity was contracted for corresponding periods beginning in the second quarter of 2018 and ending in June 2019 and January 2020 (the later representing a seven month extension over the original Hardisty contract term). As a result, the Stroud customer increased its contracted position from approximately 25% to nearly half of the existing capacity at the Hardisty terminal.

The terminalling services agreements related to the portion of the Stroud customer’s origination and destination capacity through June 2019 contemplate a deadline of August 31, 2018, to extend the terms of these agreements at both the Hardisty and Stroud terminals.
