6 Distributable cashflow (USD in thousands) Distributable Cash Flow ( DCF ) Three months Ended December 31, 2014 (unaudited) Three months Ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) Net income Add: Depreciation and amortization Other non-cash items; deferred costs amortization debt Unrealized losses from interest rate derivatives and forward exchange currency contracts Less: Estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures (including drydocking reserve) Deferred revenue Unrealized gains from interest rate derivatives and forward exchange currency contracts Distributable cash flow (A) Total distributions (B) Coverage ratio (A/B) 1,32x 1,28x Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, other non-cash items and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. Estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, including estimated expenditures for drydocking, represent capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by our capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used by investors in publicly-traded partnerships to assist in evaluating a partnership s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is a non-gaap financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of KNOT Offshore Partners performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 6

7 Adjusted EBITDA (USD in thousands) Three months Ended December 31, 2014 (unaudited) Three months Ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) Net income Interest income -9 0 Interest expenses Depreciation and amortization Income tax (benefits) expense 15-1 Realized/ unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and net loss (gain) on foreign currency Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, other financial items, taxes, non-controlling interest, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-gaap financial measure used by investors to measure our performance. The Partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists its management and investors by increasing the comparability of its performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies in its industry that provide Adjusted EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, taxes and depreciation and amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. The Partnership believes that including Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in the Partnership and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring the Partnership s ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold common units. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-gaap financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of Partnership performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 7

16 Effects of lower oil price on Knutsen Offshore Partners Existing projects continuing Very low lifting cost ($ 8-15 per barrel) and with former investments being sunk cost, existing production is profitable and demands shuttle services as planned Discussions for new shuttle tankers with delivery from 2017 onwards continues The board expects new contracts for shuttle tanker services within this year KNOT has been successful in winning new long term contracts both in September and now latest in January confirming the underlying need for these services even at current oil prices We are revising our long term growth scenario Brazil: existing projects on stream in 2015/ 2016/ 2017 Pre-salt basin is strategic core for Petrobras/ Brazil and cashflow will be prioritized Break-even oil prices below US shale production and robust Consensus is some delays in ambitious plans from 2018 and onwards.
