Dynagas LNG Partners LP Increases Quarterly Cash Distribution for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2014 by 8.3% to $0.4225 per Unit

ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Jan 15, 2015) - Dynagas LNG Partners LP (NYSE: DLNG) ("Dynagas Partners" or the "Partnership"), an owner and operator of LNG carriers, today announced that its board of directors (the "Board") has declared a quarterly cash distribution with respect to the quarter ended December 31, 2014 of $0.4225 per unit. This represents an 8.3% increase from the prior quarter's distribution of $0.39 per unit and reflects the contribution to operating results for a full quarter of the Partnership's 2013 built LNG carrier Yenisei River, which was acquired from Dynagas Holding Ltd., the Partnership's sponsor, and delivered to the Partnership on September 25, 2014.

The cash distribution is payable on or about February 12, 2015 to unit holders of record as of February 5, 2015.

This further increase in the Partnership's cash distributions corresponds to an estimated annualized cash distribution of $1.69 per unit, representing an aggregate increase in the Partnership's cash distributions of 15.8% since its initial public offering in November 2013. The Partnership's management believes that this cash distribution increase is fully supported by the Partnership's contract backlog. As of the date hereof, the Partnership's contract backlog was approximately $684.5 million and was attributable to revenues that the Partnership expects to generate from its fleet. The Partnership calculates its contract backlog by multiplying the contracted daily rate by the minimum expected number of days committed under signed charters, excluding non-exercised options to extend and assuming full utilization for the full term of the charter. The actual amount of revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned may differ from the expected amounts, due to, for example, off-hire for maintenance projects, downtime, scheduled or unscheduled dry-docking and other factors that result in lower revenues than the Partnership's average contract backlog per day.
