      RADNOR, Pa., April 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) ("PVR") today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  In addition, PVR announced an increase in its quarterly cash distribution to $0.52 per unit.

      (Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110224/PH54022LOGO )

      First Quarter Results

      First quarter 2012 highlights and results, with comparisons to first quarter 2011 results, included the following:

      • EBITDA of $53.0 million as compared to $59.2 million.
      • Distributable cash flow ("DCF") of $29.1 million as compared to $36.9 million.
      • Adjusted net income of $15.8 million as compared to $22.4 million.

      EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and adjusted net income are all not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures.  Definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow.

      Cash Distribution

      The Board of Directors of Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, the general partner of PVR, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.52 per unit payable on May 14, 2012 to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2012.  This distribution equates to an annualized rate of $2.08 per unit, and represents a 2.0% increase over the prior quarter distribution and an 8.3% increase over the first quarter of 2011.

      Management Comment

      "We are pleased to announce another increase in our quarterly cash distribution," said Bill Shea, CEO of PVR's general partner.  "Although our distributable cash flow generated for this quarter was slightly lower than expected, we take a long-term view in determining our quarterly distribution amounts.  Our outlook for the remainder of 2012 and beyond remains positive and is primarily driven by our portfolio of midstream internal growth opportunities and the anticipated benefits of the Chief acquisition.

      "Throughput volumes in our midstream segment increased by more than 55% from the first quarter of last year, reflecting the strong growth in the Marcellus and Panhandle regions," continued Mr. Shea.  "Gross margin for the quarter increased by 13% to $40.8 million.  The first phase of our Antelope Hills plant expansion began operation in March, adding 60MMcfd of capacity to our Panhandle system.  We expect this expansion to fully address the capacity issues we experienced and which impacted our operating results late last year and into the first quarter.  The second phase of the expansion, which will add another 60MMcfd, is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter and will provide capacity sufficient to handle the continued strong drilling activity in the Panhandle region.

      "In the Marcellus Shale, Phase II of our Lycoming County, Pennsylvania gas gathering system was completed and began to flow gas in the first quarter.  Additionally, our joint venture with Aqua America, Inc. completed the first phase of the fresh water pipeline and is currently providing fresh water to an affiliate of Range Resources for use in its continuing drilling operations.  Our previously announced transformational acquisition of Chief Gathering LLC is progressing and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.

      "In our coal segment, coal royalties per ton for the period increased to $4.09 from $3.94 per ton for the same period last year.  However, due to decreased volumes as a result of the unusually warm winter and current low natural gas prices, coal royalties revenues in our coal segment declined by 15% for the quarter from the strong results posted in the same period last year.  Production and revenues were generally in line with our expectations given the current softness in the coal markets," concluded Mr. Shea.

      Natural Gas Midstream Segment

      The natural gas midstream segment reported first quarter 2012 results, with comparisons to first quarter 2011 results, as follows:

      • Quarterly natural gas midstream system average throughput volumes of 653 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day, as compared to 420 MMcf per day.  The growth came primarily from new business on our Marcellus system, where volumes increased to 211 MMcf per day from 39 MMcf per day, and on the Panhandle system, where volumes increased to 336 MMcf per day from 267 MMcf per day.
      • Midstream gross margin of $40.8 million, as compared to $36.0 million. Gross margin was impacted during the quarter by processing capacity issues on our Panhandle system, as well as lower prices for natural gas and natural gas liquids.
      • Midstream gross margin, including the cash impact of midstream derivatives, of $37.6 million, as compared to $33.0 million.

      As previously disclosed, an impairment charge against the book value of the North Texas gas gathering system assets was recognized during the first quarter of 2012.  The non-cash charge of $124.8 million was triggered by continuing declines in natural gas prices and lack of drilling in the southern portion of the Fort Worth Basin served by the system.

      Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment

      The coal and natural resource management segment reported first quarter 2012 results, with comparisons to first quarter 2011 results, as follows:

      • Coal royalty tons of 8.1 million tons, as compared to 9.9 million tons.
      • Coal royalties revenue of $33.2 million, or $4.09 per ton, as compared to $39.0 million, or $3.94 per ton.

      During the first quarter of 2012, operating income for the coal and natural resource management segment decreased by $5.0 million, or 18%, to $22.5 million from $27.5 million in the prior year quarter.  Total revenues decreased by $6.0 million, or 13%, to $39.4 million from $45.4 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased production.

      Acquisition / Expansion Projects Update

      Construction of Phase II of our Lycoming system in the Marcellus Shale has been completed and it began flowing gas during the first quarter of 2012. Construction of the first segment of the Marcellus fresh-water pipeline project (a joint venture with Aqua America) has also been completed and we have commenced our water delivery operations.

      The Phase I expansion of the Antelope Hills plant was completed at the end of the first quarter, increasing the plant's processing capacity from 20 MMcfd to 80 MMcfd.  The previously announced Phase II expansion project to that facility is currently underway and is expected to be in service by the end of the second quarter of 2012 and will increase total capacity at Antelope Hills to 140 MMcfd.

      Capital Investment and Resources

      We invested approximately $69.9 million on internal growth projects during the first quarter of 2012, including $25.1 million in the Marcellus Shale.

      As of March 31, 2012, we had borrowings of $617.0 million under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with remaining borrowing capacity thereunder of $380.5 million.

      Financial Guidance for 2012

      Current guidance for full year 2012 EBITDA in the range of $260-$280 million and full year 2012 distributable cash flow, net of maintenance and replacement capital, in the range of $160-$180 million is unchanged from prior announcements.  The current guidance for 2012 is on a PVR "stand-alone" basis and does not include changes that may occur as a result of the anticipated consummation of our acquisition of Chief Gathering LLC in the second quarter of 2012.  PVR's financial guidance is based on numerous assumptions about future events and conditions and, therefore, could vary materially from actual results.  These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision for acquisitions or operating environment changes.  EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP measures; reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow.

      Merger Impact and Units Outstanding

      The reported financial results include the impact of the merger with Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., ("PVG") completed on March 10, 2011.  As a result, the diluted weighted average number of PVR common units outstanding increased from 46.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 to 79.3 million in the first quarter of 2012.

      First Quarter 2012 Financial and Operational Results Conference Call

      A conference call and webcast during which management will discuss first quarter 2012 financial and operational results, is scheduled for Monday, April 30, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. ET.  Prepared remarks by William H.

      a)  EBITDA, or earnings before interest, tax and depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A"), represents operating income plus DD&A, plus impairments. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the coal and natural gas midstream industries. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

      (b)  Distributable cash flow represents net income plus DD&A, plus impairments, plus (minus) derivative losses (gains) included in net income, plus (minus) cash received (paid) for derivative settlements, minus equity earnings in joint ventures, plus cash distributions from joint ventures, minus maintenance capital expenditures, minus replacement capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric which is an indicator of our ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support the quarterly cash distributions paid to our partners. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative standard used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of publicly traded partnerships. Distributable cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Distributable cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

      (c)  Phantom unit grants were made under our long-term incentive plan.  Service based phantom units receive nonforfeitable distribution rights; thus, we have presented distributions paid to phantom unit holders in our total distributions paid to Partners.

      (d)  Net income, as adjusted, represents net income adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives and impairments. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the natural gas midstream industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Net income, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

      We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 MMBtu increase or decrease in the

      natural gas price, our natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income in 2012 would decrease or increase by

      approximately $3.3 million.  In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price,

      our natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income in 2012 would increase or decrease by approximately $4.4 million.

      This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels.  These estimated

      changes in gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.


      (a) - Purchased put/floor.


      (b) - Sold call/ceiling.
