CorEnergy Releases Second Quarter 2016 Results

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – August 9, 2016 - CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Recent Developments

· Delivered Net Income of $0.66 per common share (basic), NAREIT Funds from Operations (NAREIT FFO)1 of $1.10 per share (basic), Funds from Operations (FFO)1 of $1.04 per share (basic) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)1 of $1.12 per share (basic)

· Declared common stock dividend of $0.75 per share ($3.00 annualized) in the second quarter

· Completed ~$2 million of share repurchases and ~$1 million of convertible debt repurchases during the first half of 2016

· Sold Black Bison Assets and expect to convert a portion of the Four Wood Financing Note to a preferred equity interest

· All tenants continue to make timely rent payments

Second Quarter 2016 Performance Summary

Results for the second quarter of 2016 were approximately flat sequentially and include Total Revenue of $22.1 million, Net Income to Common Shareholders of $7.9 million, and Contribution Margin2 of $20.9 million. CorEnergy believes the Contribution Margin reflects the Company’s operating performance because it eliminates the impact of commodity purchases and sales, as well as direct operating expenses, of certain assets.   Due to acquisitions, CorEnergy does not believe comparisons with the second quarter of 2015 are meaningful.

Earnings for the second quarter of 2016 were $7.9 million, or $0.66 per common share (basic and diluted).  AFFO for the second quarter of 2016 was $13.3 million, or $1.12 per share (basic) and $1.01 per share (diluted). Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. For completeness, we present other measures of income in the table below:

Portfolio Update

Grand Isle Gathering System:  The parent company of our tenant of the GIGS, Energy XXI Ltd., had its Disclosure Statement approved on July 15,, 2016, enabling EXXI to begin soliciting creditor approval of its proposed Plan of Reorganization.

Pinedale Liquids Gathering System: Ultra Petroleum Corp., the parent company of our tenant of the Pinedale LGS, has requested an extension to file its proposed Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement until first quarter 2017. We anticipate UPL will accept or reject its leases, including the Pinedale Lease Agreement, by year-end 2016.

Black Bison Financing Note: On June 16, 2016, CorEnergy sold substantially all of the assets of Black Bison Water Services and its subsidiaries to Expedition Water Solutions for a combination of $1 million in cash, plus an earn-out of up to $6.5 million in royalty payments. Royalty payments will not increase AFFO1.

Four Wood Financing Note: CorEnergy is in the process of restructuring its Four Wood Financing Note to SWD Enterprises, LLC and converting a portion of it into a preferred equity interest.  Cash and Payment in Kind interest and dividends will not increase AFFO1, until Four Wood generates sustainable operating margins and the reserve for collection has been removed.

Dividend Update

Common Stock: A second quarter common stock cash dividend of $0.75 ($3.00 annualized) was declared on July 27, 2016, payable on August 31, 2016. CorEnergy maintains a quarterly common stock dividend payment cycle of February, May, August and November.

Preferred Stock: For the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, a cash dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share was declared for the second quarter, payable on August 31, 2016. The preferred dividends, which equate to an annual payment of $1.84375 per depositary share, are paid on or about the last day of February, May, August and November.

Outlook

CorEnergy intends to continue paying dividends based on rents received, pending the outcomes of the bankruptcy processes. With the parent company of our GIGS tenant and the tenant of the Pinedale LGS currently reorganizing pursuant to Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we refer investors to the risk factors in our 10-Q filings as to the potential risks associated with unexpired leases. We do not intend to fund acquisitions until significant bankruptcy milestones for EXXI and UPL have occurred and been disclosed to the public. We expect to occur by year-end 2016.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements that may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein are "forward-looking statements." Although CorEnergy believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in CorEnergy’s reports that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Other than as required by law, CorEnergy does not assume a duty to update any forward-looking statement.

Notes

1NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation, amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and non-controlling interests. Adjustments for non-controlling interests are calculated on the same basis. FFO as we have presented it here, is derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and dividend income and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities. CorEnergy defines AFFO as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments plus provision from loan losses, net of tax, transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of deferred leasing costs, accretion of asset retirement obligations, income tax expense (benefit) unrelated to securities investments and provision for loan losses, above market rent, noncash costs associated with derivative instruments and certain costs of non-recurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any) amortization of debt premium and other adjustments as deemed appropriate by management. Reconciliations of NAREIT FFO, FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments and AFFO to Adjusted EBITDA and to Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders are included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

2Contribution Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as Total Lease Revenue, Security Distributions, Financing Revenue and Operating Results, as reported in the MD&A section of CorEnergy’s Form 10-Q. Management believes that Lease Revenue, Security Distributions, Financing Revenue and Operating Results provides investors with information that will assist them in analyzing the operating performance of our leased assets, financing notes receivable, other equity securities and operating entities, before subtracting corporate expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. As it pertains to other equity securities, the Company believes that net distributions received are indicative of the operating performance of the assets. Reconciliations of these results to Adjusted EBITDA and to Income Attributable to Common Stockholders are included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

(1) Based on the economic return to CorEnergy resulting from the sale of our 40 percent undivided interest in EIP, we determined that it was appropriate to eliminate the portion of EIP lease income attributable to return of capital, as a means to more accurately reflect the EIP lease revenue contribution to CorEnergy-sustainable AFFO. CorEnergy believes that the portion of the EIP lease revenue attributable to return of capital, unless adjusted, overstates CorEnergy's distribution-paying capabilities and is not representative of sustainable EIP income over the life of the lease. The Company completed the sale of EIP on April 1, 2015.
