QEP RESOURCES REPORTS 2010 EBITDA OF $1.14 BILLION
AND PRODUCTION OF 229.0 BCFE
Company affirms 2011 EBITDA and production guidance
DENVER — QEP Resources (NYSE:QEP) reported 2010 EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) of $1,140.5 million, compared to $1,165.5 million in 2009, down 2% despite a 26% decrease in net realized natural gas prices. The impact of lower natural gas prices was nearly offset by a 21% increase in production and higher net realized crude oil and NGL prices in QEP Energy, along with increased gathering and processing margins in QEP Field Services. EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $298.5 million compared to $326.0 million a year earlier, an 8% decrease driven by a 22% decrease in net realized natural gas prices compared to the prior year quarter.
QEP also reported 2010 production of 229.0 Bcfe compared to 189.5 Bcfe in 2009, a 21% increase. Production in the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled 62.1 Bcfe compared to 55.4 Bcfe a year earlier, a 12% increase.
Net income from continuing operations in 2010 was $283.0 million or $1.60 per diluted share, compared to $212.8 million or $1.21 per diluted share in 2009. Net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $65.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $94.6 million or $0.54 per diluted share a year earlier.
Excluding changes in unrealized gains and losses on natural gas basis-only swaps, gains and losses on non-core asset sales, separation costs and losses on early extinguishment of debt, QEP Resources adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $217.8 million or $1.23 per diluted share in 2010 compared to $315.2 million or $1.79 per diluted share in 2009. Similarly adjusted fourth quarter 2010 net income was $44.8 million or $0.25 per diluted share compared to $88.5 million or $0.50 per diluted share in the year earlier period.

| (b) | QEP Resources completed its tax-free spin-off from Questar Corporation on June 30, 2010. In conjunction with the spin-off, QEP Resources distributed the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wexpro Company, to Questar. Accordingly, Wexpro’s historical financial results have been presented as discontinued operations in this release. |
“The QEP Resources team executed well in 2010,” said Chuck Stanley, President and CEO. “QEP Energy production was up 21% from 2009, driven by strong results from ongoing Haynesville Shale and Pinedale Anticline development activities, combined with significant contributions from new wells in our Woodford Shale, Granite Wash and Bakken plays. Our ongoing strategy to diversify away from our traditional Rockies focus continued to bear fruit—QEP Energy grew Midcontinent production 37% in 2010, representing 53% of QEP Energy total production. QEP Field Services also had a good year and fourth quarter in 2010. Field Services gathering and processing businesses benefitted from growing production at QEP Energy and our third-party customers and from strong gas-processing margins,” Stanley added.
2010 Highlights
| • | QEP Energy grew natural gas, oil and NGL production to 229.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe) compared to 189.5 Bcfe in 2009. Crude oil and NGL comprised 11% of reported production volumes. |
| • | QEP Energy estimated proved reserves totaled 3.03 Tcfe at December 31, 2010, up 10% from year-end 2009. Excluding price-related revisions, QEP replaced 205% of 2010 production. Including the price-related revisions, the production replacement ratio was 227%. |
| • | QEP Energy EBITDA decreased 6% in 2010 compared to 2009, driven by a 26% decrease in net realized natural gas prices which was partially offset by a 21% increase in production and a 24% increase in net realized oil and NGL prices. |
| • | Net realized natural gas prices at QEP Energy averaged $4.74 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), down 26% compared to 2009. While field-level natural gas prices were higher in 2010, net proceeds from the settlement of natural gas-related derivative contracts were significantly lower than in 2009. Field-level natural gas prices in 2010 were $3.60 per Mcf compared to $2.99 per Mcf in 2009, a 20% increase. Natural gas-related derivative settlements increased net revenues $232.1 million in 2010 compared to $573.7 million in 2009. |
| • | Net crude oil and NGL revenues (including the settlement of crude oil-related derivatives) increased 51% in 2010 to $238.9 million and represented 20% of QEP Energy’s net realized production revenues in 2010. |
| • | Net realized crude oil and NGL prices averaged $56.80 per barrel, up 24% compared to 2009. Field-level prices increased 30% to $58.87 per barrel. Oil related derivative settlements reduced revenues $8.7 million compared to a $1.6 million increase in 2009. |
| • | Changes in unrealized gains and losses on natural gas basis-only swaps increased net income $76.3 million in 2010 compared to a loss of $103.3 million in 2009. |
| • | QEP Energy 2010 capital spending (on an accrual basis) was $1,215.8 million, comprised of $1,106.5 million in drilling, completion, and other costs (including exploration expense), $109.1 million in leasehold acquisition costs and $0.2 million in producing property acquisitions. |
| • | Separation costs and losses on early extinguishment of debt reduced QEP Resources net income $18.7 million in 2010. |
| • | QEP Field Services increased EBITDA 25% in 2010 compared to 2009, driven by a 23% increase in gathering margin and a 29% increase in processing margin. Net income was $91.1 million in 2010, up 31% from $69.4 million in 2009. |
| • | Capital spending (on an accrual basis) at QEP Field Services to expand capacity at its gathering, processing and treating facilities in western Wyoming, eastern Utah and northwest Louisiana totaled $268.2 million for 2010. |
QEP affirms 2011 EBITDA and production guidance
QEP expects 2011 EBITDA to be in a range of $1.115 to $1.230 billion. QEP Energy expects 2011 production to be in a range of 258 to 265 Bcfe.

QEP Energy 2010 Production Up 21%
QEP Energy – a QEP Resources subsidiary that acquires, explores for, develops and produces natural gas and oil – reported production of 229.0 Bcfe in 2010 compared to 189.5 Bcfe in 2009. Fourth quarter production totaled 62.1 Bcfe compared to 55.4 Bcfe in the year earlier quarter. The Midcontinent region contributed 53% of QEP Energy 2010 production compared to 46% in 2009. QEP Energy generated EBITDA of $926.2 million in 2010 compared to $988.0 million in 2009, a 6% decrease. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of a 26% decrease in net realized natural gas prices which was partially offset by a 21% increase in production and a 24% increase in net realized oil and NGL prices. QEP Energy EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $242.4 million compared to $273.7 million a year earlier, an 11% decrease driven by a 22% decrease in net realized natural gas prices compared to the prior year quarter.

| • | QEP Energy full-year 2010 average total costs per unit of gas-equivalent production decreased 5% compared to 2009, due primarily to reduced per-Mcfe depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and reduced per-Mcfe lease operating expense. |
| • | Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense per-Mcfe (the DD&A rate) decreased compared to 2009 in both the quarter and full-year primarily as the result of reduced per unit development costs in several of the company’s ongoing plays and increased proved reserves related to higher natural gas and oil prices compared to prior periods. The fourth-quarter 2010 DD&A rate increased $0.02/Mcfe compared to the third quarter 2010. |
| • | QEP Energy cash cost of production – lease operating expense plus general and administrative expense, allocated interest, and production taxes was $1.58 per Mcfe, compared to $1.68 per Mcfe in of 2009, a 6% decrease. |
| • | Lease operating expense per Mcfe in 2010 decreased as the result of increased production volumes in lower cost areas. Growing production from new high-rate, low-operating cost wells in NW Louisiana and in Pinedale coupled with declining production from higher cost areas is lowering average per Mcfe lease operating expense. |
| • | General and administrative expense per Mcfe in 2010 decreased slightly as the result of increased production volumes but increased in the fourth quarter due to higher labor expense and actuarial benefit expense adjustments. |
| • | Production taxes per Mcfe increased in 2010 as the result of higher field-level prices. |
QEP Field Services EBITDA up 25%
QEP Field Services (Field Services) – a QEP subsidiary that provides gas gathering and processing services – reported EBITDA of $203.9 million in 2010 compared to $162.6 million in 2009, a 25% increase. EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $52.4 compared to $48.7 million a year earlier, an 8% increase. Net income was $91.1 million in 2010, up 31% from $69.4 million in 2009.
| • | Gathering margin (total gathering revenues less gathering related operating expenses) increased 23%, or $ 28.1 million, in 2010, driven primarily by a 15% increase in gathering system throughput volume to 1.3 million MMBtu per day. The increased volumes were primarily in NW Louisiana. |
| • | Processing margin (total processing plant revenues less plant operating expenses and shrinkage) increased 29%, or $19.4 million, driven by 42% higher keep-whole processing margins. NGL margins (NGL revenue less shrinkage) increased to $0.62/Gal in 2010 compared to $0.43/Gal in 2009. The increase was the result of a 34% increase in NGL prices partially offset by a 16% increase in shrinkage cost. |
| • | Approximately 78% of Field Services’ 2010 net operating revenue was derived from fee-based gathering and processing contracts, compared to 82% in the 2009. |

NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited)
This release contains references to a non-GAAP measure of earnings per diluted share from continuing operations excluding gains and losses from asset sales, unrealized gains and losses on basis-only swaps, separation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt. Management believes earnings per diluted share excluding asset sales, unrealized basis-only swaps, separation costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt is an important measure of the Company’s operational performance relative to other gas and oil producing companies.
The following table calculates earnings per diluted share excluding gains and losses on assets sales, unrealized gains and losses on basis-only swaps, separations costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt:
