Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain financial information in this presentation (including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA) are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and use of such terms varies from others in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. 2

Well Positioned to Benefit from IMO 2020 & Tier 3 Gasoline New Regulatory Standards Should Represent Tailwinds for CVR Energy IMO 2020 Should be a Net Positive for the Industry Annual EBITDA Sensitivity from $1/bbl change(2) Background: Beginning January 1, 2020 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is expected to enforce a new 0.5% global sulfur cap on marine fuel content, a significant reduction from the current limit of 3.5%. Brent - WTI Differential $75M Expected Market Impacts: 1) Increased demand for diesel, 2) decreased gasoline production as refiners shift gasoline feedstock to low-sulfur Gasoline Crack marine fuel oil production, 3) increased demand for light sweet crude oil, $41M and 4) decreased demand for heavy sour crude. Gasoline & distillate represent 93% of LTM product slate Implications for CVR Energy: CVR Energy is well positioned to benefit Distillate Crack from IMO 2020 impacts due to: 1) Peer-leading distillate yield of over 44% $33M over the last twelve months(1), 2) 100% exposure to the Brent – WTI differential, and 3) high liquid volume yield of light products. $0M $10M $20M $30M $40M $50M $60M $70M $80M CVR Energy is Prepared to Meet Tier 3 Gasoline Specifications Background: Also beginning January 1, 2020 all refineries will be required to meet the Tier 3 gasoline specifications requiring gasoline production to meet an annual 10 ppm average sulfur content. Refineries that have not invested in the hardware necessary to meet the specifications will be required to purchase sulfur credits to comply. Expected Market Impacts: 1) Increase in the price of sulfur credits, 2) increase in the value of octane, widening the spread of premium gasoline over subgrade, and 3) potential for reduced gasoline production. Implications for CVR Energy: CVR Energy currently produces 10ppm sulfur max gasoline at Wynnewood and has the capability to reduce the sulfur content at Coffeyville to meet Tier 3 specifications next year. In addition, several of the capital projects currently under evaluation (Coffeyville Crude Optionality, Wynnewood Isomerization Unit, Wynnewood KSAAT) should all benefit from the potential widening of premium gasoline spreads resulting from Tier 3 specifications. (1) Based on crude oil throughputs (2) All other factors held constant; based on LTM crude throughput of 74.7 mmbbl, gasoline production 40.7 mmbbl and distillate production of 33.1 mmbbl 11

APPENDIX
Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA as it relates only to our Fertilizer segment represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude consolidated turnaround expense and other non-recurring items which management believes are material to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s underlying operating results. Available Cash for Distribution represents Adjusted EBITDA reduced for cash reserves established by the board of directors of CVR Partners, LP’s general partner for (i) debt service, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) turnaround expenses and, to the extent applicable, (iv) reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate, if any. Available cash for distribution may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the board of directors of CVR Partners L.P.’s general partner.
