PVR PARTNERS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

AND INCREASES QUARTERLY CASH DISTRIBUTION

RADNOR, PA – October 25, 2011 . . . Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) (“PVR”) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, PVR announced an increase in its quarterly cash distribution to $0.50 per unit.

Third Quarter Results

Third quarter 2011 highlights and results, with comparisons to third quarter 2010 results, included the following:

 

   

EBITDA of $60.0 million as compared to $50.4 million.

 

   

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”), after a $6.7 million provision for replacement capital expenditures, increased by $2.8 million to $36.1 million as compared to $33.3 million. The 2011 DCF reflects PVR’s efforts 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 third quarter 2010 DCF.

 

   

Adjusted net income of $20.5 million as compared to $18.7 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.

Cash Distribution

The Board of Directors of Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, the general partner of PVR, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.50 per unit payable on November 14, 2011 to unitholders of record as of November 7, 2011. This distribution equates to an annualized rate of $2.00 per unit, and represents a 2.0% increase over the prior quarter distribution and a 6.4% increase over the third quarter of 2010.

Management Comment

“Our coal royalties business continued its strong performance during the third quarter,” said Bill Shea, CEO of PVR’s general partner. “Royalties revenue for the quarter rose more than 17% from a year ago, benefiting from healthy increases in both tons produced and the average royalty rate per ton. The Middle Fork coal properties, acquired in January, are meeting our performance expectations, and their contribution is reflected in this quarter’s excellent operating results.

“Total midstream volumes grew almost 28% from the third quarter of last year,” continued Mr. Shea, “however lower margins on our Panhandle business weighed on the segment’s quarterly results. Increased drilling activity in the Granite Wash and the resulting increase in well connects in the

Panhandle resulted in volumes in excess of available processing capacity. We had to bypass some gas volumes as a result, which reduced our margins. The purchase of the Antelope Hills processing facility in June and the recently announced expansions of that facility will add 140MMcf/d of processing capacity to our Panhandle system. This acquisition and the associated expansion projects are expected to address the current processing capacity shortfall by the end of the first quarter of 2012, and will also position us to handle expected future increases in Granite Wash production.

“In addition to the volume growth in the Panhandle, we are excited about the progress of our Marcellus midstream projects. The second phase of the Lycoming system is currently flowing gas and is expected to be fully complete in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, another shipper has contracted to move significant additional volumes on the Lycoming system on an interruptible basis, and with the recent connection to the Tennessee interstate pipeline, our Wyoming County system is handling increased volumes.

“We are also pleased to announce another increase in our quarterly cash distribution. This increase reflects the positive results from our investments in growth projects in our midstream businesses and coal property acquisitions, as well as our confident outlook for 2012,” concluded Mr. Shea.

Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment

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

 

   

Coal royalty tons of 9.5 million tons, as compared to 8.5 million tons.

 

   

Coal royalties revenue of $41.0 million, or $4.32 per ton, as compared to $35.0 million, or $4.10 per ton. The Middle Fork assets that were acquired in January 2011 contributed $3.2 million in coal royalties and 0.5 million tons of coal production to third quarter 2011 results.

During the third quarter of 2011, operating income for the coal and natural resource management segment increased by $3.4 million, or 13 percent, to $29.8 million from $26.4 million in the prior year quarter. Total revenues increased by $7.1 million, or 17 percent, to $47.5 million from $40.4 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased production and higher average coal royalties.

Natural Gas Midstream Segment

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

 

   

Quarterly natural gas midstream system average throughput volumes of 504 million cubic feet (“MMcf”) per day, as compared to 394 MMcf per day. The growth came primarily from new business on our Panhandle systems, where volumes increased to 342 MMcf per day from 241 MMcf per day, and on the Marcellus systems, where volumes increased to 63 MMcf per day from 13 MMcf per day.

 

   

Midstream gross margin of $35.9 million as compared to $28.6 million.

 

   

Midstream gross margin, including the cash impact of midstream derivatives, of $31.2 million, as compared to $28.0 million. The $3.2 million increase was primarily due to a 28% increase in volumes, partially offset by a relative increase in lower-risk, lower margin, percent-of-proceeds and fee-based contracts as well as the impact of capacity constraints on the Panhandle systems.

Acquisition / Expansion Projects Update

Construction of Phase 2 of our Lycoming system in the Marcellus Shale is nearing completion. The first portion of Phase 2 was put into service and began flowing gas during the third quarter; a second customer has contracted for interruptible service on the system and has begun shipping volumes. The start of service for the remaining portion in Phase 2 is expected early in the first quarter of 2012. Current average daily volumes on the Lycoming system exceed 120 MMcfd.

Service on the third-party pipeline connecting our Wyoming County, Pennsylvania system to the Tennessee interstate pipeline began in mid-October. The addition of this outlet for local production gathered on our pipelines has boosted system volumes to an average daily rate of approximately 58 MMcfd.

The Antelope Hills plant acquisition, completed at the end of the second quarter, has been integrated into our Panhandle systems and the plant’s 20 MMcfd of processing capacity is fully utilized. The previously announced 60 MMcfd expansion project to that facility is currently underway and expected to be in service early in the first quarter of next year. Based on the continued strong level of drilling activity in the Panhandle area, PVR has initiated work on a second 60 MMcfd expansion to Antelope Hills. Completion of the second expansion project is anticipated by mid-year 2012 and will bring total capacity at Antelope Hills to 140 MMcfd.

Construction of the Marcellus fresh-water pipeline project (a joint venture with Aqua America) has commenced. The initial portion of the first segment of that line is expected to be completed by year-end and will provide limited water delivery service to an affiliate of Range Resources. The entire 18-mile long first segment is expected to commence regular operation during the first quarter of 2012.

Capital Investment and Resources

We spent approximately $66.9 million on internal growth projects during the third quarter of 2011, including $35.6 million in the Marcellus Shale. We expect to invest a total of $180—$200 million in internal growth capital during 2011, including approximately $120 million in the Marcellus Shale.

As of September 30, 2011, we had borrowings of $635.0 million under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and $13.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, with remaining borrowing capacity of $363.4 million under the revolving credit facility.

Financial Guidance for 2011

As a result of the excess volumes being bypassed in the Panhandle and forecasted derivative settlements, we have revised our 2011 guidance for EBITDA and distributable cash flow. We anticipate full year 2011 EBITDA in the range of $240 million to $250 million and full year 2011 distributable cash flow (net of maintenance and replacement capital) in the range of $135 million to $145 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.

Merger Impact and Units Outstanding

The reported financial results include the impact of the merger with Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., (“PVG”) completed on March 10, 2011. Because PVR’s equity-funded merger with PVG has been treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes, the historical results reported for periods prior to

 


PVR Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results    Page  4

 

the completion of the merger are those of PVG. As a result, the diluted weighted average number of LP units outstanding increased from 38.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 to 71.2 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Third Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Results Conference Call

(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 DD&A, plus impairments, plus (minus) derivative losses (gains) included in net 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 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 the 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. Service based phantom units receive nonforfeitable 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 $3.4 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 $0.1 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.
