BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. Reports First Quarter Results and Announces Substantial Increase in 2012 Capital Program Given Positive Drilling Performance
LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2012 — BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) (NASDAQ:BBEP) today announced financial and operating results for its first quarter of 2012 as well as a substantial increase in its 2012 capital program.
Key Highlights
| - | The Partnership had strong first quarter operating and financial results, with net production on an annualized basis trending in-line with its guidance range, despite the first quarter being the Partnership’s lowest producing quarter due to weather related restrictions on production. |
| - | On April 25, 2012, the Partnership announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire oil properties located in Park County in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming for approximately $98 million from Legacy Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NiMin Energy Corp. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and purchase price adjustments, as well as approval by NiMin shareholders. The transaction is expected to close before July 25, 2012. |
| - | On April 19, 2012, the Partnership announced an increased cash distribution for the first quarter of 2012 of $0.4550 per common unit, or an annualized rate of $1.82 per common unit, to be paid on May 14, 2012 to the record holders of common units at the close of business on May 7, 2012. This represents a 9% increase over the cash distribution for the first quarter of 2011 and the Partnership’s eighth consecutive quarterly distribution increase. On February 14, 2012, the Partnership paid its fourth quarter 2011 distribution of $0.450 per unit, representing a 9% increase over the fourth quarter 2010 distribution. |
| - | On April 19, 2012, the Partnership also announced the completion of its regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination and received a substantial increase in its borrowing base from $788 million to $850 million. As of May 7, 2012, the Partnership had $84 million in outstanding borrowings under its bank credit facility. |
| - | On February 8, 2012, the Partnership completed a public offering of 9.2 million common units. Net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce borrowings under the Partnership’s bank credit facility. |
| - | On January 13, 2012, the Partnership completed a private offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022. Net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce borrowings under the Partnership’s bank credit facility. |
Management Commentary
Hal Washburn, CEO, said: “The Partnership delivered another quarter of consistent operating performance, and we continued executing on our growth through acquisitions strategy. Our recently announced Wyoming acquisition increases our exposure to crude oil and is an excellent addition to our Wyoming operations. Based on our ongoing review of our diverse portfolio, we are increasing our 2012 capital program by $19 million, or 28%, to approximately $87 million, to pursue attractive oil drilling opportunities in California where we are currently receiving Brent-based pricing, which is well above WTI. We continue to be very active in growing our business and are targeting $300-$500 million in oil and gas acquisitions this year in our key operating areas as well as new states.”
First Quarter 2012 Operating and Financial Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2011
| - | Total production decreased from 2,065 MBoe in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 1,987 MBoe in the first quarter of 2012, consistent with past seasonal trends. Average daily production was 21,835 Boe/day in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 22,450 Boe/day in fourth quarter of 2011. |
| o | Oil and NGL production was 859 MBoe compared to 871 MBoe. |
| o | Natural gas production was 6,769 MMcf compared to 7,168 MMcf. |
| - | Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, down from $64.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the delay of a Florida crude oil shipment from late March to the first week of April and lower natural gas sales revenue during the quarter. Unlike most of our properties, crude oil sales from our Florida fields are made in periodic, large barge shipments. Although this sale included approximately 120,000 net barrels of crude oil that was produced in the first quarter, the sale actually occurred in the Partnership’s second quarter. Accordingly, the Partnership’s second quarter Adjusted EBITDA will include this Florida sale. |
| - | Lease operating expenses per Boe, which include district expenses, transportation expenses and processing fees and exclude production and property taxes, increased to $19.16 per Boe in the first quarter of 2012 from $18.44 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to the effect of higher crude oil prices on materials and services. |
| - | General and administrative expenses on a per Boe basis, excluding non-cash unit-based compensation, decreased to $4.07 per Boe in the first quarter of 2012 from $4.59 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to acquisition-related costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| - | Oil and natural gas sales revenues, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments were $111.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, down from $117.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting lower sales volumes due to the timing of Florida sales, partially offset by higher prices. Fourth quarter 2011 revenues of $117.6 million exclude a $36.8 million loss related to the early termination of crude oil derivative contracts. |
| - | Realized gains on commodity derivative instruments were $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to realized losses of $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Realized losses in the fourth quarter of 2011 reflect the $36.8 million loss on the early termination of crude oil derivative contracts. Excluding the loss on termination, realized gains on commodity derivative instruments would have been $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| - | NYMEX WTI crude oil spot prices averaged $102.98 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas spot prices averaged $2.44 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $94.01 per barrel and $3.33 per Mcf, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $118.71 per barrel in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $109.42 in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| - | Realized crude oil and NGL prices averaged $90.36 per Boe and realized natural gas prices averaged $6.18 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2012 compared to realized crude oil and NGL prices, excluding the realized loss on termination of oil derivatives, that averaged $84.00 per Boe and $6.02 per Mcf, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| - | Net loss attributable to the Partnership, including the effect of unrealized losses on commodity derivative instruments, was $50.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted common unit, in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss of $30.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common unit, in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| - | Capital expenditures totaled $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $17.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. |
Impact of Derivative Instruments
The Partnership uses commodity and interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate the risks associated with commodity price volatility and changing interest rates and to help maintain cash flows for operating activities, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and distributions. The Partnership does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. Non-cash gains or losses do not affect Adjusted EBITDA, cash flow from operations or the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions.
Realized gains from commodity derivative instruments were $17.6 million during the first quarter of 2012. Realized losses from interest rate derivative instruments were $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2012. Non-cash unrealized losses from commodity derivative instruments were $53.6 million and non-cash unrealized gains from interest rate derivative instruments were $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliations of certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measures to their nearest comparable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures, may be used periodically by management when discussing the Partnership's financial results with investors and analysts, and they are also available on the Partnership's website under the Investor Relations tab.
Among the non-GAAP financial measures used is “Adjusted EBITDA.” This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. In addition, this press release presents certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effect of a $36.8 million loss relating to the early termination of crude oil derivative contracts in the fourth quarter of 2011. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability to prior periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as management believes it provides additional information relative to the performance of the Partnership's business, such as our ability to meet our debt covenant compliance tests. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other publicly traded partnerships or limited liability companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted EBITDA
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss and net cash flows from operating activities, our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.
