Gas Natural Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2011 Results
- Natural gas operations full-year 2011 earnings up 2.5% to $5.8 million
- Full service distribution volumes delivered increased 11% from 2010
- Cash from operations more than doubles year-over-year to $14.9 million in 2011
MENTOR, Ohio, April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gas Natural Inc. (NYSE Amex: EGAS) (the "Company"), a natural gas utility company serving approximately 70,000 customers in seven states, reported financial results for the full-year ended December 31, 2011. Reported results included the Company's April 8, 2011 acquisition of pipeline and right-of-way assets in Ohio and Kentucky as well as the acquisition of the net assets of Independence Oil & LP Gas, Inc. on August 1, 2011.
Full-year consolidated net income was $5.4 million in 2011 compared with $5.8 million in 2010. Net income from the Natural Gas Operations segment increased by $140,000, driven primarily by customer growth and colder weather in most of its service territories. Also included in the consolidated 2011 results was a pre-tax gain on the bargain purchase of the assets of Independence of $955,000. Offsetting those gains were net losses within the Company's Marketing and Production Operations segment due to an impairment charge of $790,000 from an investment in Kykuit, a developer and operator of oil, gas and mineral leasehold estates in Montana and a net loss from the corporate and other operations segment as the 2010 period included dividends and gains on the sale of marketable securities that did not occur in 2011.
On a per diluted share basis, net income was $0.66 in 2011 compared with $0.92 in 2010, and reflects an increase in weighted average outstanding shares of 1.9 million as a result of the Company's successful equity raised in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Richard M. Osborne, Gas Natural's chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "In 2011, we successfully moved our strategy forward by investing in our growth utilities and making capital improvements in order to maintain our reliable infrastructure. Those investments are reflected in our expanded distribution system and customer base and have resulted in an overall strengthening of our natural gas business.
"We also continued to augment our organic growth strategy with two acquisitions in 2011. We acquired intrastate pipeline assets in Ohio and Kentucky in April and since then, have rehabilitated portions of the pipeline in Ohio to transport natural gas to new markets where natural gas service is currently not available, as well as connect to markets served by our Ohio subsidiaries. The Independence acquisition was a situational opportunity for us and added approximately 4,500 residential, commercial and agricultural customers in North Carolina and Virginia that utilize liquid propane, heating oil, and kerosene."
Gas Natural acquired the stock of Public Gas Company, Inc. (PGC) for $1.6 million from Kentucky Energy Development, LLC, on April 1, 2012. PGC is a regulated natural gas distribution company serving approximately 1,600 customers in 8 counties in the eastern part of Kentucky.
Natural Gas Operations Segment
The Company annually distributes over 32 billion cubic feet of natural gas to approximately 70,000 customers through regulated utilities operating in Montana, Wyoming, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, North Carolina and Kentucky.

For 2011, the Natural Gas Operations segment contributed net income of $5.8 million, an increase of 2.5%, or $140,000, from $5.7 million for 2010.
Operating income was $10.2 million, or 27.5% of gross margin, for 2011 compared with $10.0 million, or 28.9% of gross margin, for 2010.
Full service distribution volumes delivered increased 931 MMcf to 9,346 MMcf in 2011 as the Company continues to expand its customer base and benefited from colder weather in a number of markets.
Other Operating Segments
The Marketing and Production segment reported a net loss of $287,000 for 2011 compared with a net gain of $116,000 for 2010. This change in net income was primarily attributable to the previously noted impairment charge. The Pipeline Operations segment contributed net income of $162,000, an increase of $9,000 from 2010. The Propane Operations segment, acquired on August 1, 2011, contributed net income of $255,000 in 2011, which was primarily the result of the pre-tax gain of $955,000 on the bargain purchase of the net assets.
Balance Sheet and Cash Management
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2011 were $10.5 million, down $2.5 million from the 2010 year-end balance of $13.0 million.
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $8.2 million to $14.9 million in 2011 compared with $6.7 million for 2010. The increase in cash from operations was principally due to improved working capital and timing differences related to taxes and prepayments.
Capital expenditures for 2011 totaled $23.2 million and were primarily focused on expanding the Company's Natural Gas Operations segment and included $3.3 million related to the pipeline assets acquired in Ohio and Kentucky in April 2011. Capital spending in 2010 was $8.5 million.
The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with $23.2 million in use at the end of 2011 compared with $18.2 million at the end of 2010. In November 2011, the Company exercised the $10 million accordion feature on the revolving credit facility to increase the capacity from $20 million to $30 million.
