PENN VIRGINIA RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2010 RESULTS
RADNOR, PA February 9, 2011 .. . . Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) today reported financial and operational results for the three months and the full-year ended December 31, 2010, and provided financial guidance for 2011.
Fourth Quarter Results
Fourth quarter 2010 highlights and results, with comparisons to fourth quarter 2009 results, included the following:
| EBITDA of $62.1 million as compared to $56.9 million. |
| Distributable cash flow (DCF) of $44.1 million as compared to $48.3 million. The $4.2 million, or nine percent, decline in DCF was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in interest expense due to the $300.0 million long-term debt offering completed in April 2010, a $2.6 million increase in maintenance capital expenditures, and a $2.5 million increase in cash payments to settle derivatives. |
| Net income for the fourth quarter was $19.8 million, or $0.26 per limited partner unit, as compared to $23.6 million or $0.33 per limited partner unit in 2009. |
| The fourth quarter of 2010 included revenue of $5.5 million from a firm transportation annual settlement in our natural gas midstream segment as compared with $4.4 million of firm settlement revenues in the prior year quarter. |
For the fourth quarter of 2010, derivatives expense was $11.0 million, as compared to $7.7 million in the prior year quarter. Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash payments of $3.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 related to commodity and interest rate derivatives, as compared to $1.1 million of net cash payments in the prior year quarter.
Cash Distribution
As previously announced on January 25, 2011, PVR will pay a quarterly cash distribution of $0.47 per unit on February 14, 2011 to unitholders of record as of February 7, 2011. The distribution represents an annualized rate of $1.88 per unit.
Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment Review
The coal and natural resource management segment reported fourth quarter results, with comparisons to fourth quarter 2009 results as follows:
| Coal royalty tons of 8.9 million tons, as compared to 8.5 million tons. |
PVR Announces Fourth Quarter 2010 Results | Page 2 |
| Coal royalties revenue of $32.3 million, or $3.64 per ton, as compared to $30.0 million, or $3.55 per ton. |
During the fourth quarter of 2010, operating income for the coal and natural resource management segment increased by $0.6 million, or three percent, to $21.6 million from $21.0 million in the prior year quarter. Total revenues increased by $1.9 million, or five percent, to $37.9 million from $36.0 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher coal royalties revenues. The increase in average coal royalties from the prior year quarter was attributable to higher coal prices.
Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review
The natural gas midstream segment reported fourth quarter results, with comparisons to fourth quarter 2009 results, as follows:
| Quarterly natural gas midstream system throughput volumes of 36.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or an average 398 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, as compared to 27.9 Bcf, or an average 303 MMcf per day; volume growth came primarily from additional activity on the Crossroads and Panhandle systems and new business in the Marcellus Shale region. |
| Midstream gross margin of $42.1 million, or $1.15 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), as compared to $34.5 million, or $1.23 per Mcf. |
| Midstream gross margin, including the cash impact of midstream derivatives, of $40.5 million, or $1.11 per Mcf, as compared to $35.9 million, or $1.29 per Mcf. |
Adjusted for the cash impact of commodity derivatives, midstream gross margin increased by $4.6 million primarily due to a 31% increase in volumes, partially offset by a migration to lower-risk percentage-of-proceeds contracts from gas purchase/keep-whole arrangements. (See the Derivative Contract Summary Table included in this release for details of derivative positions as of December 31, 2010.)
Full-Year 2010 Results
PVR reported results for the full-year ended December 31, 2010 including:
| Coal royalty tons of 34.5 million with average coal royalties per ton of $3.78, as compared to 34.3 million with average coal royalties per ton of $3.51 for the full-year 2009. |
| Natural gas midstream system throughput of 129.7 Bcf, or an average of 355 MMcf per day, as compared to 121.3 Bcf last year or 332 MMcf per day. Midstream gross margin for 2010 was $0.96 per Mcf ($0.94 adjusted for the cash impact of derivatives), as compared to $0.81 per Mcf ($0.90 adjusted for the cash impact of derivatives) last year. |
| Operating income of $125.9 million, as compared with $108.3 million last year. (2010 results included an approximate $5.6 million charge due to the acceleration of equity award vesting related to the separation from Penn Virginia Corporation; 2009 results included a $1.5 million goodwill impairment charge). |
DCF for the full year was $145.8 million, as compared to $151.7 million in 2009. Net income was $68.5 million, or $0.83 per limited partner unit, as compared to $65.2 million, or $0.76 per limited partner unit, in 2009. EBITDA for the full year 2010 was $201.8 million as compared with $180.0 million in 2009.
Management Comment
PVR continued its solid operating performance during the fourth quarter and for 2010 overall, said Bill Shea, CEO of PVRs general partner. Total coal royalty tons increased in 2010 which, combined with overall higher coal royalty rates per ton, resulted in higher coal royalty revenues. The recently completed acquisition of additional Central Appalachian reserves is expected to generate additional
PVR Announces Fourth Quarter 2010 Results | Page 3 |
growth in our coal and natural resources segment in 2011 and future years. Our natural gas midstream segment volumes continued to grow in 2010. Construction on our previously announced pipeline project in the Marcellus Shale, which is anchored with a long-term contract with Range Resources, continued to move ahead during the fourth quarter, and we expect service on the first segment of that system to begin later this month, Mr. Shea said.
Capital Investment and Resources
PVR spent approximately $96 million in 2010 on internal growth projects, including $49.5 million in the Marcellus Shale. In addition, during 2010 PVR closed on approximately $28 million in acquisitions in the coal and natural resource segment. During 2011, PVR expects to invest approximately $140 million in internal growth capital in 2011 including $120 million in the Marcellus Shale.
As of December 31, 2010, PVR had borrowings of $408.0 million under its $850.0 million revolving credit facility and $10.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, with remaining borrowing capacity of $440.4 million under the revolving credit facility.
Financial Guidance for 2011
PVR currently expects to generate 2011 EBITDA of $230 million and DCF of $140 million. The DCF is net of maintenance and replacement capital of $41 million, comprised of $14 million in maintenance and $27 million of replacement capital for the year.
Previously, we calculated DCF without deducting replacement capital. With respect to the guidance for the full-year 2011 we have deducted, and going forward we intend to deduct, replacement capital, as well as maintenance capital expenditures, in determining DCF. If we had deducted $24 million in replacement capital (amount is before approximately $3 million in additional replacement capital related to the recently completed Begley coal acquisition) from DCF for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our DCF for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 would have been $121.8 million and $127.7 million, respectively.
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depletion and amortization, and DCF are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to appended tables for definitions and calculation methodologies. 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.

(NYSE: PVG), during which management will discuss fourth quarter 2010 financial and operational results, is scheduled for Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 11:00 a.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 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. 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) | Phantom units grants were made in both 2010 and 2009 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. |
(d) | In accordance with our partnership agreement, incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. |

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 2011 would decrease or increase by approximately $0.9 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 2011would increase or decrease by approximately $5.9 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.
