- First half 2010 net income increased 56% on continued growth in the Company's Maine and North Carolina operations as well as contribution from acquisitions

GREAT FALLS, Mont., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gas Natural Inc. (NYSE Amex: EGAS) (the "Company" or "Gas Natural"), a natural gas utility company serving approximately 62,000 customers in six states, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Reported results include the January 5, 2010 acquisitions of three Ohio-based gas utilities, Orwell Natural Gas Company, Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corp. and Brainard Gas Corp., which increased total customers by approximately 23,000, or more than 50%.  Also included are the results of Cut Bank Gas in Montana, a small operation acquired in November 2009.  

Second Quarter and First Half 2010 Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated net income for the second quarter was $0.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to a net loss of $0.5 million from the operations of the acquired Ohio Companies, partially offset by continued earnings growth from the Company's other natural gas operations, specifically Maine and North Carolina.  The reduction in second quarter earnings in Ohio was from warmer than normal weather, adjustments in corporate overhead allocation, and an increase in tax expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income, which included $0.9 million from the operations of the Ohio Companies, increased $1.5 million, or 55.9%, to $4.1 million compared with the same period in 2009.  On a per diluted share basis, net income was $0.68 for the first half of 2010 compared with $0.62 in the corresponding period of 2009.  

Richard M. Osborne, Gas Natural's chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "Our second quarter results, although positive, were dampened by warmer than normal weather during the spring months in Ohio, reallocation of corporate overhead costs, and an increase in other taxes in Ohio.  We expect those operations to improve as we complete the integration and implement the operational efficiencies that provide strong results in our other natural gas distribution businesses.  The growth and earnings power we are realizing from our operations in both Maine and North Carolina demonstrate our ability to execute successful utility acquisitions."

On July 9, 2010, the Company completed its reincorporation from Montana to Ohio and changed its name from Energy, Inc. to Gas Natural Inc.  Mr. Osborne noted, "We believe this change further enhances our ability to operate and grow the Company as we look to expand our utility asset base in Maine and North Carolina, as well as through strategic acquisitions.  In conjunction with the reincorporation, we changed our name to better reflect our focus on natural gas distribution."  

Natural Gas Operations Segment

Gas Natural Inc. annually distributes approximately 29 billion cubic feet of natural gas to approximately 62,000 customers through regulated utilities operating in Montana, Wyoming, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine and North Carolina. The Company acquired its Maine and North Carolina operations in 2007, added Cut Bank Gas in Montana in November 2009, and most recently, closed the acquisition of its Ohio and Pennsylvania operations on January 5, 2010.

The Natural Gas Operations segment contributed net income of $0.25 million in the 2010 second quarter compared with $0.56 million for the same quarter of 2009.  As previously noted, the Ohio operations reported a net loss of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, which more than offset the continued earnings growth the Company experienced in its organic operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Natural Gas Operations segment net income increased 90% to $4.0 million, from $2.1 million for the first half of 2009.  The Company's North Carolina and Maine operations accounted for the majority of the $0.95 million increase from organic operations, while the remaining was from the acquisitions, primarily in Ohio.

Operating income was $0.63 million, or 9.4% of gross margin, compared with $1.01 million, or 22.3% of gross margin, in the second quarter of 2009.  The decline was due to the acquired operating expenses from the Ohio companies which more than offset the added gross margin contribution from those businesses.  Operating income as a percent of gross margin expanded 1.5% in the first six months of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 as the Ohio acquisitions contributed to the gain as well as improved performance at the Company's organic operations.  

The increase in interest expense during the second quarter and first half of 2010 was a direct result of the added debt acquired with the Ohio companies.  

Marketing and Production Segment

The Marketing and Production segment had net income of $0.11 million compared with net income of $0.27 million for the same quarter of 2009 due to lower volume.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income for the segment was essentially breakeven, a direct reflection of a jury award in April 2010 of $0.52 million in litigation relating to a gas supply contract that expired in October of 2008.  Marketing and Production segment net income for the first half of 2009 was $0.69 million. Operationally, results in this segment were negatively impacted versus 2009 by a reduction in the basis differential between AECO and CIG pricing.

Pipeline Operations Segment

The Pipeline Operations segment contributed net income of $24,485 and $60,720 in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared with net income of $43,218 and $72,726 in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively.  Net income was impacted by increased expenses for professional services in our Shoshone pipeline operation.

Balance Sheet and Cash Management

The Company's cash and marketable securities position was $7.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010, flat with the sequential first quarter, but up $0.9 million, or 14.4% from the end of the second quarter of 2009.  Cash provided by operating activities was $9.7 million in the first six months of 2010 compared with $19.8 million in the same period the prior year.  The change in cash from operations was principally due to a $5.4 million increase in the amount paid for gas inventory and a $4.8 million decrease in collections of recoverable costs of gas due to timing.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter and first half of 2010 were $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared with $2.0 million and $3.9 million in the corresponding periods of 2009.  Capital spending was focused on the acquired Ohio companies as well as expanding operations in its growth oriented utilities of Maine and North Carolina.

The Company sold $2.4 million in marketable securities during the first half of 2010 taking advantage of market conditions at the time and establishing a more liquid position.

In addition to cash and marketable securities, the Company maintains three credit facilities totaling $23.6 million with approximately $10.1 million of availability as of the end of the second quarter of 2010.
