EV Energy Partners Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2010 Results, 2010 Year End Proved Reserves, 2011 Guidance and Updated Hedge Positions
HOUSTON, TX –(MARKET WIRE) – 03/01/11 — EV Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EVEP) today announced results for the full year and fourth quarter 2010, its year end 2010 proved reserves and the filing of its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, EVEP announced 2011 guidance and an update of its commodity hedge positions presented in the Hedge Summary Table at the end of this release.
Full Year 2010 Results
Adjusted EBITDAX and distributable cash flow for 2010 were $148.1 million and $94.2 million, increases of 12 percent and 24 percent, respectively, over 2009 primarily due to acquisitions made in 2010 as well as higher realized oil and natural gas prices. Adjusted EBITDAX and distributable cash flow are described in the attached table under "Non-GAAP Measures".
Production for 2010 was 19.5 Bcf of natural gas, 679 MBbls of oil and 728 MBbls of natural gas liquids, or 27.9 billion cubic feet equivalents (Bcfe). This represents a 15 percent increase over 2009 production of 24.2 Bcfe, primarily due to acquisitions in 2010.
For 2010, EVEP reported net income of $106.1 million. Included in net income were $3.0 million of non-cash net unrealized gains on commodity and interest rate derivatives and $5.0 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses. Also contained in general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.4 million of due diligence and other transaction costs related to acquisitions completed during 2010. We also recognized a $40.7 million gain on sale of certain unproved acreage and a $2.5 million non-cash charge to lease operating expenses related to oil in tanks purchased in connection with the Appalachian Basin acquisition closed in March 2010. For 2009, EVEP reported net income of $1.4 million. Included in 2009 net income was $51.7
million of non-cash net unrealized losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives and $3.7 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses.
Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
Adjusted EBITDAX for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $41.6 million, a 21 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2009 and a 12 percent increase over the third quarter of 2010. Distributable cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $26.8 million, a 26 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2009 and a 11 percent increase over the third quarter of 2010.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, EVEP produced 6.0 Bcf of natural gas, 202 MBbls of oil and 187 MBbls of natural gas liquids, or 8.3 Bcfe. This is a 34 percent increase over fourth quarter 2009 production of 6.2 Bcfe, primarily due to production from our 2010 Appalachian Basin and Mid-Continent region acquisitions. Production increased by 19 percent from third quarter 2010 production of 7.0 Bcfe, primarily due to production from our Mid-Continent region acquisition closed at the end of the third quarter of 2010.
EVEP reported a net loss of $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. However, included in net loss were $31.6 million of non-cash net unrealized losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives and $1.6 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses. Also contained in general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.4 million of due diligence and other transaction costs related to our acquisitions completed during the quarter. For the fourth quarter of 2009, EVEP reported a net loss of $2.5 million which included $17.3 million of non-cash net unrealized losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives and $1.5 million of non-cash costs contained in general and administrative expenses.
The $31.6 million non-cash net unrealized loss on commodity and interest rate derivatives for the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the increase in future oil prices that occurred from September 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the effect of such increased prices on the mark-to-market valuation of EVEP’s outstanding derivatives which extend through 2014.
John Walker, Chairman and CEO said, “We are pleased with our results for the quarter and for 2010. During the year we completed over $550 million of acquisitions, adding significantly to our Appalachian Basin and Mid-Continent region assets and establishing a new core area with our Barnett Shale acquisition. With these acquisitions, we increased our proved reserves over year-end 2009 by 124 percent, and at an attractive reserve replacement cost of $1.23 per mcfe. In addition, we are evaluating the potential of our acreage in the developing Utica/Point Pleasant play. EVEP has approximately 150,000 net held-by-production acres, primarily in Ohio, that could be prospective for the Utica/Point Pleasant and also owns overriding royalty interests on approximately 80,000
net acres. However, until horizontal wells have been drilled and tested this summer, it is not possible to properly assess the full potential of the play.”
Year End 2010 Estimated Net Proved Reserves
EVEP’s year end 2010 estimated net proved reserves were 817.3 Bcfe, a 123.5 percent increase over year end 2009 estimated net proved reserves, primarily due to acquisitions completed during 2010. Approximately 70.4 percent were natural gas, 9.5 percent were oil and 20.1 percent were natural gas liquids. In addition, 70.7 percent were categorized as proved developed. Our reserve replacement cost for 2010 was $1.23 per mcfe. Reserve replacement cost is our cost incurred in oil and natural gas property acquisition and development activities divided by the sum of extensions and discoveries, purchases of minerals in place, and revisions of previous estimates of our estimated net proved reserves.
At December 31, 2010, the present value of future net pre-tax cash flows discounted at 10 percent was $1,026.5 million and the standardized measure of our estimated net proved reserves was $1,020.2 million. Standardized measure is the present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), without giving effect to non–property related expenses such as certain general and administrative expenses, debt service and future federal income tax expenses or to depreciation, depletion and amortization and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10 percent. Our standardized measure includes future obligations under the Texas
gross margin tax, but it does not include future federal income tax expenses because we are a partnership and are not subject to federal income taxes. The prices used in determining our estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2010, were $79.43 per Bbl of oil and $4.37 per MMBtu of natural gas.

Non GAAP Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) plus income tax provision, interest expense, net, realized losses on interest rate swaps, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, non-cash losses (gains) losses on derivatives, amortization of upfront premiums paid to enter into commodity price hedge agreements, non-cash equity compensation, (gain) on sales of oil and natural gas properties, write down of crude oil inventory, and dry hole and exploration costs. Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX less income tax provision, cash interest expense, net, realized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, amortization of upfront premiums paid to enter into commodity price hedge agreements and estimated maintenance capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow are used by our management to provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our business, including (prior to the creation of any reserves) the cash available to pay distributions to our unitholders. These financial measures indicate to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow are also quantitative standards used throughout the investment community with respect to performance of publicly-traded partnerships. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any
other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow exclude some, but not all, items that effect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among companies. Therefore, our Adjusted EBITDAX and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
