NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") is a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States ("U.S."). Its four primary business lines include: terminalling, processing, and storage services for petroleum products and by-products including the refining of naphthenic crude oil; land and marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products, chemicals, and specialty products; sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution; and marketing, distribution, and transportation services for natural gas liquids and blending and packaging services for specialty lubricants and grease. The Partnership’s unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated and condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS There were no new accounting pronouncements applicable to the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2024. NOTE 3. EXIT OF BUTANE OPTIMIZATION BUSINESS During the second quarter of 2023, the Partnership completed its previously announced exit from its butane optimization business at the conclusion of the butane selling season. This exit did not qualify as discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205. Going forward, with respect to butane, the Partnership will operate as a fee-based butane logistics business, primarily continuing to utilize its north Louisiana underground storage assets, which have both truck and rail capability. This logistics business will also utilize the Partnership's truck transportation assets for fee-based product movements. As a result of this new business model, the Partnership will no longer carry butane inventory, enabling the Partnership to reduce commodity risk exposure, cash flow and earnings volatility, and working capital requirements. The following revenues and costs, which are included in the financial results for all periods presented, are not expected to be incurred under the new fee-based butane logistics business model. The butane optimization business has historically been included in the Partnership's Specialty Products operating segment. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Products revenue $ 56,889 Cost of products sold 56,208 Selling, general and administrative expenses 372 $ 309 9 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) NOTE 4. REVENUE The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Terminalling and storage segment Throughput and storage $ 22,517 $ 20,858 $ 22,517 $ 20,858 Transportation segment Land transportation $ 42,743 $ 42,230 Inland marine transportation 14,323 12,078 Offshore marine transportation 1,241 1,415 $ 58,307 $ 55,723 Sulfur services segment Sulfur product sales $ 5,683 $ 6,276 Fertilizer product sales 24,521 26,045 Sulfur services 3,477 3,358 $ 33,681 $ 35,679 Specialty products segment Natural gas liquids product sales $ 38,131 $ 98,222 Lubricant product sales 28,194 34,047 $ 66,325 $ 132,269 Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties where the Partnership is acting as an agent. The Partnership recognizes revenue when the Partnership satisfies a performance obligation, which typically occurs when the Partnership transfers control over a product to a customer or as the Partnership delivers a service. The following is a description of the principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from which the Partnership generates revenue. Terminalling and Storage Segment Revenue is recognized for storage contracts based on the contracted monthly tank fixed fee. For throughput contracts, revenue is recognized based on the volume moved through the Partnership’s terminals at the contracted rate. For storage and throughput contracts at the Partnership's underground NGL storage facility, revenue is recognized based on the volume stored and moved through the facility at the contracted rate. For the Partnership’s tolling agreement, revenue is recognized based on the contracted monthly reservation fee and throughput volumes moved through the facility. Throughput and storage revenue in the table above includes non-cancelable revenue arrangements that are under the scope of ASC 842, whereby the Partnership has committed certain Terminalling and Storage assets in exchange for a minimum fee. Transportation Segment Revenue related to land transportation is recognized for line hauls based on a mileage rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. 10 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) Revenue related to marine transportation is recognized for time charters based on a per day rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Sulfur Services Segment Revenue from sulfur and fertilizer product sales is recognized when the customer takes title to the product. Delivery of product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Revenue from sulfur services is recognized as services are performed during each monthly period. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Specialty Products Segment Natural Gas Liquids ("NGL") revenue is recognized when title is transferred, which is generally when the product is delivered by truck, rail, or pipeline to the Partnership's NGL customers or when the customer picks up the product from our facilities. When lubricants are sold by truck or rail, revenue is recognized when title is transferred, which is generally when the product leaves the Partnership's facility, but can vary based on the specific terms of the contract. Delivery of product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. The table below includes estimated minimum revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The Partnership applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total Terminalling and storage Throughput and storage $ 33,122 $ 45,448 $ 46,749 $ 48,152 $ 49,662 $ 157,964 $ 381,097 Sulfur services Product sales 4,250 5,666 4,691 295 — — 14,902 Service revenues 10,431 13,908 13,908 — — — 38,247 Specialty Products NGL product sales 4,846 6,431 3,736 — — — 15,013 Total $ 52,649 $ 71,453 $ 69,084 $ 48,447 $ 49,662 $ 157,964 $ 449,259 NOTE 5.

DEBT At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-term debt consisted of the following: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 $ 175,000 Credit facility at variable interest rate ( 8.68 % 1 weighted average at March 31, 2024), due February 2027 secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, vessels, equipment, fixed assets and the interests in the Partnership’s operating subsidiaries, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 3,039 and $ 3,292 , respectively 2 $ 46,961 $ 39,208 $ 400,000 Senior notes, 11.5 % interest, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 7,737 and $ 8,235 , respectively, including unamortized premium of $ 9,200 and $ 9,800 , respectively, due February 2028, secured 2 383,063 381,965 Total 430,024 421,173 Less: current portion — — Total long-term debt, net of current portion $ 430,024 $ 421,173 1 The interest rate fluctuates based on Adjusted Term SOFR (set on the date of each advance) or the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The margin is set every three months. All amounts outstanding at March 31, 2024 were at Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are SOFR loans currently ranges from 2.75 % to 3.75 %, and the applicable margin for revolving loans that are alternate base rate loans currently ranges from 1.75 % to 2.75 %. The applicable margin for SOFR borrowings at March 31, 2024 is 3.25 %. The applicable margin for SOFR borrowings effective April 17, 2024 is 3.25 %. The credit facility contains various covenants that limit the Partnership’s ability to make distributions; make certain investments and acquisitions; enter into certain agreements; incur indebtedness; sell assets; and make certain amendments to the Partnership's omnibus agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation (the "Omnibus Agreement"). 2 The Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Partnership paid cash interest in the amount of $ 24,653 and $ 22,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capitalized interest was $ 142 and $ 4 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. NOTE 7. LEASES The Partnership has numerous operating leases primarily for terminal facilities and transportation and other equipment. The leases generally provide that all expenses related to the facilities and equipment are to be paid by the lessee. Operating lease Right-of-Use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Partnership's leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Partnership uses its imputed collateralized rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated rate is based on a risk-free rate plus a risk-adjusted margin. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 13 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. The Partnership includes extension periods and excludes termination periods from its lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that the Par tnership will exercise the extension options. 12 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) The components of lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Operating lease cost $ 4,939 $ 3,187 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets — 4 Interest on lease liabilities — — Short-term lease cost 1,166 1,708 Variable lease cost 47 55 Total lease cost $ 6,152 $ 4,954 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Operating Leases Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 58,267 $ 60,359 Current portion of operating lease liabilities included in "Other accrued liabilities" $ 14,824 $ 14,901 Operating lease liabilities 43,606 45,684 Total operating lease liabilities $ 58,430 $ 60,585 For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership incurred new operating leases, primarily related to land and marine transportation assets and renewed existing operating leases set to expire, primarily related to marine transportation assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) NOTE 9. PARTNERS' CAPITAL (DEFICIT) As of March 31, 2024, Partners’ capital (deficit) consisted of 39,001,086 common limited partner units, representing a 98 % partnership interest, and a 2 % general partner interest. Martin Resource Management Corporation, through subsidiaries, owned 6,114,532 of the Partnership's common limited partner units representing approximately 15.7 % of the Partnership's outstanding common limited partner units. Martin Midstream GP LLC ("MMGP"), the Partnership's general partner, owns the 2 % general partnership interest. The partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") contains specific provisions for the allocation of net income and losses to each of the partners for purposes of maintaining their respective partner capital accounts. Impact on Partners' Capital (Deficit) Related to Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Under ASC 805, assets and liabilities transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at the historical cost of those entities' ultimate parent, in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Any difference in the amount paid by the transferee versus the historical cost of the assets transferred is recorded as an adjustment to equity (contribution or distribution) by the transferee. This is in contrast with a business combination between unrelated parties, where assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess of amounts paid over the fair value representing goodwill. From time to time, the most recent being in 2019, the Partnership has entered into common control acquisitions from Martin Resource Management Corporation. The consideration transferred totaling $ 552,058 exceeds the historical cost of the net assets received. This excess of the purchase price over the historical cost of the net assets received has resulted in cumulative distributions of $ 289,019 reflected as reductions to Partners' capital. Distributions of Available Cash The Partnership distributes all of its available cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to the general partner. Available cash is generally defined as all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves its general partner determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to: (i) provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business; (ii) comply with applicable law, any debt instruments or other agreements; or (iii) provide funds for distributions to unitholders and the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters, plus all cash on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Net Income per Unit The Partnership follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 260-10 related to earnings per share, which addresses the application of the two-class method in determining income per unit for master limited partnerships having multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions accounted for as equity distributions. Undistributed earnings are allocated to the general partner and limited partners utilizing the contractual terms of the Partnership Agreement. When current period distributions are in excess of earnings, the excess distributions for the period are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of income and losses specified in the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, as required under FASB ASC 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations. For purposes of computing diluted net income per unit, the Partnership uses the more dilutive of the two-class and if-converted methods. Under the if-converted method, the weighted-average number of subordinated units outstanding for the period is added to the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for purposes of computing basic net income per unit and the resulting amount is compared to the diluted net income per unit computed using the two-class method. The following is a reconciliation of net income allocated to the general partner and limited partners for purposes of calculating net income attributable to limited partners per unit: 15 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.

UNIT BASED AWARDS - LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS The Partnership recognizes compensation cost related to unit-based awards to both employees and non-employees in its consolidated and condensed financial statements in accordance with certain provisions of ASC 718. Amounts recognized in operating expense and selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated and condensed financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Restricted unit Awards Employees $ — $ — Non-employee directors 54 52 Phantom unit Awards Employees ( 174 ) 399 Non-employee directors — — Total unit-based compensation expense $ ( 120 ) $ 451 16 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) Long-Term Incentive Plans The Partnership's general partner has long-term incentive plans for employees and directors of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. Phantom Unit Plan On July 21, 2021, the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership and the compensation committee of the general partner's board of directors (the "Compensation Committee") approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2021 Phantom Unit Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of the same date. The Plan permits the awards of phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights (collectively, "phantom unit awards") to any employee or non-employee director of the Partnership, including its executive officers. The awards may be time-based or performance-based and will be paid, if at all, in cash. The award of a phantom unit entitles the participant to a cash payment equal to the value of the phantom unit on the vesting date or dates, which value is the fair market value of a common unit of the Partnership (a “Unit”) on such vesting date or dates. The award of a phantom unit appreciation right entitles the recipient to a cash payment equal to the difference between the value of a phantom unit on the vesting date or dates in excess of the value assigned by the Compensation Committee to the phantom unit as of the grant date. Phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights granted to participants do not confer upon participants any right to a Unit. On July 21, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved forms of time-based award agreements for phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights, both of which awards vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. The grant date value of a phantom unit under a phantom unit appreciation right award is equal to the average of the closing price for a Unit during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the grant date of the award. Generally, vesting of an award is subject to a participant remaining continuously employed with the Partnership through the vesting date. However, if prior to the vesting date (i) a participant is terminated without cause (as defined in the award agreement) or terminates employment after the participant has attained both the age of 65 and ten years of employment (“retirement-eligible”), a prorated portion of the award will vest and be paid in cash no later than the 30 th day following such termination date (subject to a six-month delay in payment for certain retirement-eligible participants) or (ii) there is a change in control of the Partnership (as defined in the Plan), the award will vest in full and be paid in cash no later than the 30 th day following the date of the change of control; provided, that the participant has been in continuous employment through the termination or change in control date, as applicable. On July 21, 2021, 620,000 phantom units and 1,245,000 phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. On April 20, 2022, the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership and the Compensation Committee approved the First Amendment to the Plan, effective as of the same date, which amendment increased the total number of phantom units available for grant under the Plan from 2,000,000 units to 5,000,000 units. On April 20, 2022, 365,000 phantom units and 1,097,500 phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. On July 19, 2023, 1,179,500 phantom units and 505,500 phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. Phantom unit awards are recorded in operating expense and selling, general and administrative expense based on the fair value of the vested portion of the awards on the balance sheet date. The fair value of these awards is updated at each balance sheet date and changes in the fair value of the vested portions of the awards are recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense within operating expense and selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. All of the Partnership's outstanding phantom unit awards at March 31, 2024 met the criteria to be treated under liability classification in accordance with ASC 718, given that these awards will settle in cash on the vesting date. Compensation expense for the phantom awards is based on the fair value of the units as of the balance sheet date as further discussed below, and such costs are recognized ratably over the service period of the awards. As the fair value of liability awards is required to be re-measured each period end, stock compensation expense amounts recognized in future 17 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) periods for these awards will vary. The estimated future cash payments of these awards are presented as liabilities within "Other current liabilities" and "Other long-term obligations" in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, there was a total of $ 3,722 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested phantom unit awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a remaining life of 2.06 years. The fair value of the phantom unit awards was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model as of the balance sheet date. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Partnership’s common units as well as set of peer companies. Restricted Unit Plan On May 26, 2017, the unitholders of the Partnership approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2017 Restricted Unit Plan (the "2017 LTIP"). The 2017 LTIP currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 3,000,000 common units, all of which can be awarded in the form of restricted units. The 2017 LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee. A restricted unit is a unit that is granted to grantees with certain vesting restrictions, which may be time-based and/or performance-based. Once these restrictions lapse, the grantee is entitled to full ownership of the unit without restrictions. The Compensation Committee may determine to make grants under the 2017 LTIP containing such terms as the Compensation Committee shall determine under the 2017 LTIP. With respect to time-based restricted units ("TBRUs"), the Compensation Committee will determine the time period over which restricted units granted to employees and directors will vest. The Compensation Committee may also award a percentage of restricted units with vesting requirements based upon the achievement of specified pre-established performance targets ("Performance Based Restricted Units" or "PBRUs"). The performance targets may include, but are not limited to, the following: revenue and income measures, cash flow measures, net income before interest expense and income tax expense ("EBIT"), net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), distribution coverage metrics, expense measures, liquidity measures, market measures, corporate sustainability metrics, and other measures related to acquisitions, dispositions, operational objectives and succession planning objectives. PBRUs are earned only upon our achievement of an objective performance measure for the performance period. PBRUs which vest are payable in common units. Unvested units granted under the 2017 LTIP may or may not participate in cash distributions depending on the terms of each individual award agreement. The restricted units issued to directors generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period. Restricted units issued to employees generally vest in equal annual installments over three years of service. All of the Partnership's outstanding restricted unit awards at March 31, 2024 met the criteria to be treated under equity classification. In February 2024, the Partnership issued 28,760 TBRUs to each of the Partnership's three independent directors under the 2017 LTIP. These restricted common units vest in equal installments of 7,190 units on January 24, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. 18 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) The restricted units are valued at their fair value at the date of grant, which is equal to the market value of common units on such date. A summary of the restricted unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is provided below: Number of Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Unit Non-vested, beginning of period 141,390 $ 2.99 Granted (TBRU) 86,280 $ 2.26 Vested ( 58,806 ) $ 2.86 Forfeited — $ — Non-Vested, end of period 168,864 $ 2.65 Aggregate intrinsic value, end of period $ 432 A summary of the restricted units’ aggregate intrinsic value (market value at vesting date) and fair value of units vested (market value at date of grant) during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is provided below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Aggregate intrinsic value of units vested $ 46 $ 89 Fair value of units vested 168 178 As of March 31, 2024, there was $ 425 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.97 years. NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As of March 31, 2024, Martin Resource Management Corporation owns 6,114,532 of the Partnership’s common units representing approximately 15.7 % of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units. Martin Resource Management Corporation controls the Partnership's general partner by virtue of its 100 % voting interest in MMGP Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), the sole member of the Partnership's general partner. The Partnership’s general partner, MMGP, owns a 2 % general partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership’s general partner’s ability, as general partner, to manage and operate the Partnership, and Martin Resource Management Corporation’s ownership as of March 31, 2024 of approximately 15.7 % of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partnership units, effectively gives Martin Resource Management Corporation the ability to veto some of the Partnership’s actions and to control the Partnership’s management. The following is a description of the Partnership’s material related party agreements and transactions: Omnibus Agreement Omnibus Agreement . The Partnership and its general partner are parties to the Omnibus Agreement dated November 1, 2002, with Martin Resource Management Corporation that governs, among other things, potential competition and indemnification obligations among the parties to the agreement, related party transactions, the provision of general administration and support services by Martin Resource Management Corporation and the Partnership’s use of certain Martin Resource Management Corporation trade names and trademarks. The Omnibus Agreement was amended on November 25, 2009, to include processing crude oil into finished products including naphthenic lubricants, distillates, asphalt and other intermediate cuts. The Omnibus Agreement was amended further on October 1, 2012, to permit the Partnership to provide certain lubricant packaging products and services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. 19 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.

Effective January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the Conflicts Committee approved an annual reimbursement amount for indirect expenses of $ 13,508 . The Partnership reimbursed Martin Resource Management Corporation for $ 3,377 and $ 3,496 of indirect expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Conflicts Committee will review and approve future adjustments in the reimbursement amount for indirect expenses, if any, annually.

Amendment and Termination. The Omnibus Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the parties; provided, however, that it may not be amended without the approval of the Conflicts Committee if such amendment would adversely affect the unitholders. The Omnibus Agreement was first amended on November 25, 2009, to permit the Partnership to provide refining services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. The Omnibus Agreement was amended further on October 1, 2012, to permit the Partnership to provide certain lubricant packaging products and services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. Such amendments were approved by the Conflicts Committee. The Omnibus Agreement, other than the indemnification provisions and the provisions limiting the amount for which the Partnership will reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for general and administrative services performed on its behalf, will terminate if the Partnership is no longer an affiliate of Martin Resource Management Corporation. Master Transportation Services Agreement Master Transportation Services Agreement. Martin Transport, Inc. ("MTI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is a party to a master transportation services agreement effective January 1, 2019, with certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Martin Resource Management Corporation.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Partnership has four reportable segments: (1) terminalling and storage, (2) transportation, (3) sulfur services and (4) specialty products. The Partnership’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The operating income of these segments is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make business decisions. Effective January 1, 2023, the Partnership reorganized its Terminalling and Storage and Natural Gas Liquids operating segments. The underground NGL storage division of the Partnership's Natural Gas Liquids operating segment was moved to the Terminalling and Storage operating segment. Further, the Partnership's packaged lubricants and grease businesses were moved from the Terminalling and Storage operating segment to the Specialty Products operating segment (formerly named the Natural Gas Liquids segment). The Partnership evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income. There is no allocation of interest expense.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. On December 31, 2015, the Partnership received a demand from a customer in its lubricants packaging business for defense and indemnity in connection with various lawsuits filed against it, which generally alleged that the customer engaged in unlawful and deceptive business practices in connection with its marketing and advertising of its private label motor oil (the “Marketing Lawsuits”). The Partnership disputed and continues to dispute that it has any obligation to defend or indemnify the customer for the customer’s conduct. Accordingly, on January 7, 2016, the Partnership filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee (the “Tennessee Court”), under Case No. 16-0018-BC, requesting a judicial determination that the Partnership did not owe the customer the demanded defense and indemnity obligations (the “Litigation”). The Marketing Lawsuits pending in federal court against the customer were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri under the consolidated case MDL No. 2709 for pretrial proceedings (the “Consolidated Lawsuits”). On March 1, 2017, at the joint request of the customer and the Partnership, the Tennessee Court administratively closed the Litigation. In 2021, the customer settled the Consolidated Lawsuits. On December 17, 2021, at the request of the customer, the Tennessee Court reopened the Litigation and the customer asserted various counterclaims against the Partnership seeking, among other things, to recover its costs of defending and settling the Consolidated Lawsuits. At this time, we are unable to determine what ultimate exposure we may have in this matter, if any. The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the counterclaims asserted by the customer in the Litigation. The trial for the Litigation is expected to be held in the first quarter of 2025. 25 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) NOTE 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing certain assets and liabilities. These inputs are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs represent the Partnership's own market assumptions. Unobservable inputs are used only if observable inputs are unavailable or not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions and are not corroborated by market data. The Partnership is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates are set forth below for these financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: • Accounts and other receivables, trade and other accounts payable, accrued interest payable, other accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and due from/to affiliates: The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments, and as such these have been excluded from the table below. There is negligible credit risk associated with these instruments. • Current and non-current portion of long-term debt: The carrying amount of the credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate and is in Level 2. The estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes, 2025 and 2028 Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") is considered Level 2, as the fair value is based upon quoted prices for identical liabilities in markets that are not active.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Partnership's operations are conducted by its operating subsidiaries as it has no independent assets or operations. The Operating Partnership, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Partnership's other operating subsidiaries have issued in the past, and may issue in the future, unconditional guarantees of senior or subordinated debt securities of the Partnership. The guarantees that have been issued are full, irrevocable and unconditional and joint and several. In addition, the Operating Partnership may also issue senior or subordinated debt securities which, if issued, will be fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnership. Substantially all of the Partnership's operating subsidiaries are subsidiary guarantors of its Senior Notes and any subsidiaries other than the subsidiary guarantors are minor. NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Provision for income taxes $ 796 $ 1,835 The operations of a partnership are generally not subject to income taxes, except for Texas margin tax, because its income is taxed directly to its partners. Current state income taxes attributable to the Texas margin tax relating to the operation of the Partnership of $ 80 and $ 120 were recorded in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Deferred taxes applicable to the Texas margin tax relating to the operation of the Partnership are immaterial. 26 MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated) March 31, 2024 (Unaudited) MTI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is subject to income taxes due to its corporate structure (the "Taxable Subsidiary"). Total income tax expense of $ 716 and $ 1,715 , related to the operation of the Taxable Subsidiary, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulted in an effective income tax rate ("ETR") of 15.73 % and 24.43 %, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes and the ETR for the income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a favorable true-up to state net operating loss carryforwards, compared to the same period in 2023. A current federal income tax expense of $ 791 and $ 325 , related to the operation of the Taxable Subsidiary, was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A current state income tax expense of $ 251 and $ 213 , related to the operation of the Taxable Subsidiary, was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. With respect to MTI, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 related to income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax expense (benefit) related to the MTI temporary differences of $( 326 ) and $ 1,177 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A net deferred tax asset of $ 10,526 and $ 10,200 , related to the cumulative book and tax temporary differences, existed at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All income tax positions taken for all open years are more likely than not to be sustained based upon their technical merit under applicable tax laws. NOTE 17.
