PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 (the “Form 10-Q”) by November 9, 2017, the due date for such filing without unreasonable effort or expense. On September 1, 2017, the Company implemented the first phase of its new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) software system. However, unforeseen difficulties with respect to the implementation have resulted in delays in accounting for the results of the third quarter. The Company is working to finalize its results and currently expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 in late November 2017.
The Company’s expectation regarding the timing of the filing of its Form 10-Q and the Company’s belief with respect to anticipated changes from the results of operation from the corresponding period of the last fiscal year are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and actual events may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the inability of the Company to complete the work necessary in order to file its Form 10-Q in the time frame that is anticipated. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual events or circumstances after the date hereof.

(2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). ☑ Yes ☐ No |
(3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☑ Yes ☐ No |
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
Based on current information and analysis, the Company estimates select preliminary third quarter fiscal 2017 highlights:
| |
• | Net Sales above $1 billion |
| |
• | Liquidity (availability plus cash) above $400 million |
The primary factors contributing to the expected increase in net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2017 are performance improvement in the Company’s specialty products segment driven by continued tight supply and self-help initiatives that were partially offset by temporary supply chain disruptions and rising feedstock costs caused by Hurricane Harvey. The fuel products segment exhibited strong operational performance after Hurricane Harvey while the oilfield services segment has continued to show continued operational improvements.
