RADNOR, Pa., April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  In addition, PVR announced a 2.1% increase in the quarterly cash distribution and updated its guidance for the full year 2011.

First Quarter Results

First quarter 2011 highlights and results, with comparisons to first quarter 2010 results, included the following:

  • EBITDA of $59.2 million as compared to $44.6 million.
  • Distributable cash flow ("DCF") for the first quarter 2011, after a $6.7 million provision for replacement capital expenditures, increased by $0.3 million to $36.9 million as compared to $36.6 million. The 2011 DCF reflects PVR's efforts, which began in the fourth quarter of 2010, to be transparent in recognizing the ongoing reserve replacement capital requirements of the business. There was no corresponding recognition of reserve replacement capital requirements for the first quarter 2010 DCF. The most significant contributors to increases in DCF were a $10.8 million increase in coal royalties, a $7.2 million increase in natural gas gross margin and a $2.7 million increase in equity earnings net of distributions from joint ventures.  Those increases were partially offset by the $6.7 million provision for replacement capital, a $3.9 million increase in operating and general and administrative expenses, a $5.0 million increase in interest expense, a $3.2 million increase in the cash payments to settle derivatives, and a $1.3 million increase in maintenance capital expenses.
  • Adjusted net income of $22.4 million as compared to $20.2 million.

EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and adjusted net income are all non-GAAP measures.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow.

For the first quarter of 2011, derivatives expense was $19.8 million, as compared to $7.6 million in the prior year quarter.  Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash payments of $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to commodity and interest rate derivatives, as compared to $1.6 million of net cash payments in the prior year quarter.

The reported financial results include the impact of the merger with Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., ("PVG") completed on March 10, 2011.  PVR's equity-funded merger with PVG has been treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes.  As a result, the historical results reported for periods prior to the completion of the merger are those of PVG, and the diluted weighted average number of LP units outstanding increased from 38.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 to 46.3 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Cash Distribution

The Board of Directors of Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, the general partner of PVR, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.48 per unit payable on May 13, 2011 to unitholders of record as of May 6, 2011.  The distribution equates to an annualized rate of $1.92 per unit, and represents a 2.1% increase over both the prior quarter and first quarter of 2010.

Management Comment

"PVR is pleased to report excellent results and strategic progress during the first quarter," said Bill Shea, CEO of PVR's general partner.  "In January we completed the acquisition of the Middle Fork assets from Begley Properties which has added 102 million tons of high-quality coal reserves and resources to our natural resource management asset portfolio.  In February we completed construction and commenced operation of the first phase of the Lycoming midstream pipeline system in the Marcellus Shale.  In March we completed our merger with PVG, the owner of our general partner, which simplified our corporate structure, eliminated our obligation to pay incentive distributions, and reduced our cost of capital. These events are extremely important to the growth of our business, and each contributed to our strong financial results during the first quarter.  We look forward to realizing the full benefits of these projects in the future," Mr. Shea said.

Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment

The coal and natural resource management segment reported first quarter 2011 results, with comparisons to first quarter 2010 results as follows:

  • Coal royalty tons of 9.9 million tons, as compared to 8.2 million tons.
  • Coal royalties revenue of $39.0 million, or $3.94 per ton, as compared to $28.2 million, or $3.42 per ton.

During the first quarter of 2011, operating income for the coal and natural resource management segment increased by $7.1 million, or 35 percent, to $27.5 million from $20.4 million in the prior year quarter.  Total revenues increased by $11.9 million, or 35 percent, to $45.4 million from $33.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to increased production and higher average coal royalties.   Contributing to these increases were the Middle Fork assets acquired in January 2011.

Natural Gas Midstream Segment

The natural gas midstream segment reported first quarter 2011 results, with comparisons to first quarter 2010 results, as follows:

  • Quarterly natural gas midstream system average throughput volumes of 420 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day, as compared to 308 MMcf per day; volume growth came primarily from new business in the Marcellus Shale region and additional activity on the Panhandle and Crossroads systems.
  • Midstream gross margin of $36.0 million as compared to $28.8 million.
  • Midstream gross margin, including the cash impact of midstream derivatives, of $33.0 million, as compared to $29.6 million.  The $3.4 million increase was primarily due to a 36% increase in volumes, partially offset by a relative increase in lower-risk, lower margin, percent-of-proceeds and fee-based contracts.

Capital Investment and Resources

PVR spent approximately $21.7 million on internal growth projects during the first quarter of 2011, including $12.9 million in the Marcellus Shale.  In addition, PVR closed on approximately $95.7 million in acquisitions in the coal and natural resource segment during the quarter.  PVR expects to invest a total of approximately $150 million in internal growth capital during 2011, including approximately $120 million in the Marcellus Shale.

As of March 31, 2011, PVR had borrowings of $515.0 million under its $850.0 million revolving credit facility and $14.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, with remaining borrowing capacity of $333.4 million under the revolving credit facility.

On April 19, 2011, PVR amended its existing revolving credit facility to increase its borrowing capacity under the facility to $1.0 billion, reduce its LIBOR and Base Rate margins by 50 basis points (0.50%), and extend the term to April 2016.

Financial Guidance for 2011

PVR also updated its financial guidance for 2011.  Based on the strong first quarter operating performance and current outlook for the remainder of the year, PVR now anticipates full year 2011 EBITDA in the range of $230 million to $240 million and full year 2011 distributable cash flow (net of maintenance and replacement capital) in the range of $140 million to $150 million.  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.  These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as our operating environment changes.  The guidance for 2011 is based on numerous assumptions about future events and conditions and, therefore, could vary materially from actual results.

Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) is a publicly traded limited partnership which owns and manages coal and natural resource properties and related assets, and owns and operates midstream natural gas gathering and processing businesses.  We own more than 800 million tons of proven coal reserves in Northern and Central Appalachia, and the Illinois and San Juan Basins; our midstream natural gas assets are located principally in Texas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania and include more than 4,200 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines and 6 processing systems with approximately 400 million cubic feet per day of capacity.  For more information about PVR, visit our website at www.pvresource.com.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this release that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, factors and risks, many of which are outside the Partnership's ability to control or predict, which could cause results to differ materially from those expected by management. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, regulatory, economic and market conditions, the timing and success of business development efforts and other uncertainties.  Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our press releases and public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's views only as of the date hereof.  We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(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 depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, plus impairments, plus (minus) derivative losses (gains) included in other 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.  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 an increase in 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) PVR limited partner unit distributions represent distributions paid to  public unitholders and not units owned by PVG prior to the Merger.

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

(e) 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, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2011 would decrease or increase by approximately $0.7 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 for the remainder 2011 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.
