Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including statements with respect to the ability of the Partnership and USD to achieve contract extensions, new customer agreements and expansions; the ability of the Partnership to extend, renew or replace its senior secured credit facility; the ability of the Partnership and USD to develop existing and future additional projects and expansion opportunities (including successful completion of USD’s DRU) and whether those projects and opportunities developed by USD would be made available for acquisition, or acquired, by the Partnership; volumes at, and demand for, the Partnership’s terminals; and the amount and timing of future distribution payments and distribution growth. Words and phrases such as “expect,” “plan,” “intent,” “believes,” “projects,” “begin,” “anticipates,” “subject to” and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relating to the Partnership are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about the Partnership, its interests and the energy industry in general on the date this press release was issued. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include the Partnership’s ability to enter into new contracts for uncontracted capacity and to renew expiring contracts and changes in general economic conditions and commodity prices, as well as those factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (many of which may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent significant reductions in demand for and prices of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids). The Partnership is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Exhibit 99.2

USD PARTNERS LP

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Background

Presented below are USD Partners LP’s (“we,” “us,” “our” or “the Partnership”) unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 (together with the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements the “pro forma financial statements”) prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

On March 20, 2023, USDP CCR LLC (“the Seller”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with South 49 Holdings Ltd., a member of the Midstream Energy Partners group of companies (collectively the “Buyer”). Upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the seller agreed to sell the Partnership’s Casper rail terminal, by means of a sale of all of the equity interests of the subsidiary of the Partnership, which owns the terminal, to the Buyer for a cash purchase price of $33 million (the “Transaction”), subject to customary adjustments. The Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the “Divestiture.” The Partnership plans to use $19.5 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the Partnership’s borrowings under its revolving senior secured credit agreement that was originally established in October 2014 and subsequently amended, with Bank of Montreal as administrative agent, the various lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Divestiture is considered a disposition of a significant business under Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Partnership prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements included herein in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and based on historical financial information of the Partnership. The Divestiture does not meet the criteria requiring discontinued operations presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) because it does not represent a strategic shift that will have major effect on the Partnership’s operations or financial results.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on December 31, 2022, the end of the most recent period for which a balance sheet is required. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Divestiture and are factually supportable. Pro forma adjustments are presented for informational purposes only and are described in the accompanying notes based on information and assumptions currently available at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K to which the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are included as an exhibit (the “8-K”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Partnership’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Divestiture been completed on the dates indicated above. In addition, it is not necessarily indicative of the Partnership’s future results of operations or financial condition and does not reflect all actions that have been or may be taken by the Partnership following the Divestiture.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”).

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the Partnership’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with GAAP to reflect the Divestiture.

The Divestiture does not meet the criteria requiring discontinued operations presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP because it does not represent a strategic shift that will have major effect on the Partnership’s operations or financial results. The Divestiture is considered a disposition of a significant business under Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Partnership prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and are based on historical financial statements of the Partnership. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Divestiture. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Divestiture and are factually supportable. Pro forma adjustments are presented for informational purposes only and are described in the accompanying notes based on information and assumptions currently available at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K with which unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are included as an exhibit. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Partnership’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Divestiture been completed on the dates indicated below. In addition, it is not necessarily indicative of the Partnership’s future results of operations or financial condition and does not reflect all actions that have been or may be taken by the Partnership following the Divestiture.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2022 10-K. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.

Unaudited Pro Forma Transaction Adjustments

(a)	Adjustment reflects the estimated proceeds received of $33.0M, net of the repayment of approximately $19.5M to the Partnership’s Credit Agreement and $2M to be held in an Escrow Account as Restricted Cash upon closing.
