Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements This presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith contain forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation or made in connection therewith that address activities, events or developments that Memorial Production Partners LP ( MEMP ) expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Terminology such as will, would, should, could, expect, anticipate, plan, project, intend, estimate, believe, target, continue, potential, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about estimates of MEMP s oil and natural gas reserves, MEMP s future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), expectations regarding future cash flows, distributions and distribution rates, and expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of MEMP, including as to production, lease operating expenses, hedging activities, commodity price realizations, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by MEMP based on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, but such assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Such statements are also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of MEMP, which may cause MEMP s actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, the uncertainty inherent in the development and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and in estimating reserves; risks associated with drilling activities; risks related to MEMP s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay distributions, to make payments on its notes or its other debt obligations and to execute its business plan; MEMP s ability to access funds on acceptable terms, if at all, because of the terms and conditions governing MEMP s indebtedness or otherwise; potential difficulties in the marketing of, and volatility in the prices for, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, including a further or extended decline in commodity prices; competition in the oil and natural gas industry; potential failure or shortages of, or increased costs for, drilling and production equipment and supply materials for production; risks related to acquisitions, including MEMP s ability to integrate acquired properties or entities; and the risk that MEMP s hedging strategy may be ineffective or may reduce its income. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation or made in connection therewith are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Please read MEMP s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ), including Risk Factors in MEMP s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and if applicable, MEMP s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are available on MEMP s Investor Relations website at http://investor.memorialpp.com/sec.cfm or on the SEC s website at www.sec.gov, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, MEMP undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC s definitions for such terms. Reserve engineering is a complex and subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Please read MEMP s filings with the SEC, including Risk Factors in MEMP s Annual Report on Form 10-K and if applicable, MEMP s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties involved in the process of estimating reserves. This presentation also contains estimates of or references to original oil in place ( OOIP ) attributable to MEMP s offshore California properties. OOIP is merely an indication of the size of a hydrocarbon reservoir and is not an indication of reserves or the quantity of oil that is likely to be produced. You should not assume that estimates of OOIP are comparable to reserves, including proved, probable or possible reserves, under SEC rules or representative of estimates of future production from such properties. It is not possible to measure OOIP in an exact way, and estimating OOIP is inherently uncertain and based on a subjective analysis of geological and other relevant data applicable to such properties, including assumptions regarding area, thickness, porosity and saturation. Changes in these factors or inaccuracies in our assumptions could materially alter the estimates of OOIP. 2

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation includes the non-gaap financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of these non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. MEMP s non-gaap financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. MEMP s non-gaap financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as MEMP does. Adjusted EBITDA. MEMP defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation, depletion and amortization; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; accretion of asset retirement obligations; losses on commodity derivative contracts; cash settlements received on commodity derivative instruments; losses on sale of assets; unit-based compensation expenses; exploration costs; acquisition related costs; amortization of investment premium; and other non-routine items, less interest income; income tax benefit; gains on commodity derivative contracts; cash settlements paid on commodity derivative instruments; gains on sale of assets and other non-routine items. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of MEMP s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest, support MEMP s indebtedness and make distributions on its units; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flows provided by operating activities. Distributable Cash Flow. MEMP defines distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash income taxes; cash interest expense; and estimated maintenance capital expenditures. Management compares the distributable cash flow MEMP generates to the cash distributions it expects to pay MEMP s partners. Using this metric, management computes MEMP s distribution coverage ratio. Distributable cash flow is an important non-gaap financial measure for MEMP s limited partners since it serves as an indicator of MEMP s success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not MEMP is generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash flows provided by operating activities. 20
