News Release
Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. Reports
Third Quarter 2011 Financial and Operating Results
Dallas, Texas, November 1, 2011 -- Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. (“Pioneer Southwest” or “the Partnership”) (NYSE:PSE) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Pioneer Southwest reported third quarter net income of $89 million, or $2.69 per common unit. Net income included unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains of $62 million, or $1.88 per common unit. Without the effect of this item, adjusted income for the third quarter was $27 million, or $0.81 per common unit. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $32 million.
Oil and gas sales for the third quarter averaged 7,429 barrels oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), an increase of 11% compared to the second quarter of 2011, reflecting the success of the Partnership’s two-rig drilling program and the addition of incremental oil transport trucks during the third quarter to cover a shortfall that arose during the second quarter. Third quarter oil sales averaged 4,598 barrels per day (BPD), natural gas liquid (NGL) sales averaged 1,707 BPD and gas sales averaged 7 million cubic feet per day.
The third quarter average reported price for oil was $108.46 per barrel. The average reported price for NGLs was $45.27 per barrel, and the average reported price for gas was $3.57 per thousand cubic feet.
The Partnership has a large inventory of remaining oil drilling locations in the Spraberry field, with approximately 100 40-acre locations and 1,200 20-acre locations. During 2011, the Partnership expects to drill approximately 40 wells at a net cost of $65 million to $75 million, including facilities capital. All wells are being completed in the Lower Wolfcamp and organic rich shale/silt intervals. In addition, the Partnership is completing the majority of its wells in the deeper Strawn interval and is continuing to evaluate the Atoka interval in certain areas of the field. Approximately 60% and 40% of the Partnership’s acreage position has Strawn and Atoka potential, respectively. During the first nine months of 2011, the Partnership added 33 new wells to production and exited the third quarter of 2011 with eight wells awaiting completion. The 2011 drilling program is expected to generate full-year production growth of more than 5% as compared to 2010.
The Partnership has additional borrowing capacity under its credit facility of $203 million as of September 30, 2011, which is expected to be adequate to fund future growth from the two-rig drilling program and acquisitions.
Pioneer Southwest previously announced a cash distribution of $0.51 per outstanding common unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, or $2.04 per outstanding common unit on an annual basis. The distribution is payable November 11, 2011, to unitholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2011.
Distribution sustainability is supported by the Partnership’s low-decline rate Spraberry properties, its large drilling inventory of 40-acre and 20-acre locations and its strong derivative position through 2014. Of the Partnership’s forecasted production, derivative contracts cover approximately 70% in the fourth quarter of 2011, 80% in 2012, 60% in 2013 and 25% in 2014.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Outlook
The following paragraphs provide the Partnership’s fourth quarter of 2011 outlook for certain operating and financial items.
Production is forecasted to average 7,100 BOEPD to 7,600 BOEPD. Production costs (including production and ad valorem taxes) are expected to average $20.00 to $23.00 per barrel oil equivalent (BOE) based on current NYMEX strip prices for oil, NGLs and gas. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is expected to average $5.75 to $6.75 per BOE.
General and administrative expense is expected to be $1.5 million to $2.5 million. Interest expense is expected to be $400 thousand to $600 thousand. Accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations is forecasted to be nominal.
Pioneer Southwest’s cash taxes and effective income tax rate are expected to be approximately 1% of earnings before income taxes as a result of Pioneer Southwest being subject to the Texas Margin tax.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS PER UNIT INFORMATION
(in thousands, except for per unit amounts)
The Partnership follows the two-class method of calculating basic and diluted net income per unit. Under the two-class method, generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") provides that the net income applicable to the Partnership be allocated to all securities that participate in the Partnership's earnings. Accordingly, net income applicable to the Partnership is allocated to the General Partner, unvested participating securities and common unitholders. Net losses applicable to the Partnership are allocated to the General Partner and common unitholders but only to unvested participating securities to the extent that they receive distributions during loss periods because unvested participating securities are not contractually obligated to share in the Partnership's net losses. Unit- and unit-based awards with guaranteed dividend or distribution participation rights qualify as "participating securities" during their vesting periods. The Partnership's basic and diluted net income per unit attributable to common unitholders is computed as (i) net income applicable to the Partnership, (ii) less General Partner net income, (iii) less unvested participating securities' basic and diluted net income (iv) divided by weighted average basic and diluted units outstanding.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Partnership's net income applicable to the Partnership to basic and diluted net income attributable to common unitholders, and the calculation of net income per common unit - basic and diluted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands)
EBITDAX and distributable cash flow (as defined below) are presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities and net income. Management of Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. believes these financial measures provide additional information to the investment community about the Partnership's ability to generate sufficient cash flow to sustain or increase distributions to its unitholders, among other items. In particular, EBITDAX is used in the Partnership's credit facility to determine the interest rate that the Partnership will pay on outstanding borrowings and to determine compliance with the leverage and interest coverage tests. EBITDAX and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP.

PIONEER SOUTHWEST ENERGY PARTNERS L.P.
UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in millions, except per unit data)
Net income adjusted for unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains, as presented in this press release, is presented and reconciled to the Partnership’s net income determined in accordance with GAAP because the Partnership believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Partnership’s business that, when viewed together with its financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its historical financial performance and future operating results, greater transparency of underlying trends and greater comparability of results across periods. In addition, management believes that this non-GAAP measure may enhance investors’ ability to assess the Partnership’s historical and future financial performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be a substitute for the comparable GAAP measure and should be read only in conjunction with the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses are of a type that will recur in future periods; however, the amount can vary significantly from period to period. The table below reconciles the Partnership’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted income excluding unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains for that quarter.
