TEPPCO Ranked 267th on Barron's 500 List for 2009

TEPPCO Partners, L.P. today announced that the partnership ranks 267th on Barron’s annual list of the 500 top-performing companies, improving 61 spots over the prior survey. In determining the rankings, Barron’s reviewed the largest publicly traded companies in the United States and Canada, based on 2008 sales, and selected those with the best track record of increasing cash flow and return on investment.

“We are very pleased with our improvement in this year’s rankings, which speaks to the effectiveness of our ongoing strategy and the efforts of our talented personnel to increase cash flow and build value for investors,” said Jerry E. Thompson, president and chief executive officer of TEPPCO’s general partner. “Our 2008 financial performance, which supported two distribution rate increases last year, was even more impressive given the global economic conditions we faced during the year.”
