KNOP fleet:
KNOP potential drop-downs:
²The charterers for the four drop-down vessels under construction have the option to choose
longer initial charter period than five years declarable before delivery.
Hence, actual fixed contract length can be longer while optional length will then be shorter.
As of December 31, 2015, KNOP’s fleet has average remaining fixed contract
length of 5.6 years. In addition, charterers have options to extend by 2.5 years on
average.
The KNOP potential dropdowns have charters with average remaining fixed
contract length of 5.9² years. In addition, charterers have options to extend by 11.2
years on average.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA please see KNOPs filings, which are available on
SEC’s website at www.sec.com and on KNOP’s website at www.knotoffshorepartners.com
Distributable Cash Flow
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 reconciliation of Distributable Cash flow please see KNOPs filings, which
are available on SEC’s website at www.sec.com and on KNOP’s website at www.knotoffshorepartners.com
