Penn Virginia Corporation Announces Record Third Quarter 2008 Results

Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE:PVA) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and provided updates to full-year 2008 guidance.

Third Quarter 2008 Highlights and Guidance Update

Third quarter 2008 highlights and results, with comparisons to third quarter 2007 results, included the following:

  • Quarterly record oil and gas production of 11.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe), or 127.1 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day, as compared to 11.1 Bcfe, or 120.7 MMcfe per day;
  • Quarterly record operating income of $122.3 million, as compared to $51.9 million;
  • Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure, of $97.5 million as compared to $78.9 million;
  • Quarterly record adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the effects of a non-cash change in derivatives fair value, of $46.1 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, as compared to $18.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share;
  • Quarterly record net income of $123.7 million, or $2.90 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $17.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share; and
  • Full-year oil and gas production guidance of between 46.5 and 47.5 Bcfe, or between 127.0 and 129.8 MMcfe per day, as compared to the previous guidance range of 46.5 to 48.0 Bcfe.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP-based measures appear in the financial tables later in this release.

In the third quarter of 2008, operating income was a record $122.3 million, which was $70.4 million, or 136 percent, higher than the third quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to 228 percent higher operating income in the oil and gas segment, 48 percent higher operating income in the coal and natural resource management segment (PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management) and lower corporate general and administrative (G&A) expense, partially offset by two percent lower operating income in the natural gas midstream segment (PVR Midstream).

Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2008 increased to $97.5 million, up $18.6 million, or 24 percent, as compared to the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to the increase in operating income, partially offset by an increase in cash paid to settle derivatives, a "make-whole payment related to the early repayment of senior unsecured notes of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (PVR) and higher cash income taxes paid.

The increase in adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the increase in operating income, partially offset by the increase in cash paid to settle derivatives.

The increase in net income in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to a $129.6 million increase in derivatives income, resulting mainly from changes in the valuation of unrealized derivative positions, and higher operating income, partially offset by higher income tax expense and higher minority interest.

Management Comment

A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer of PVA, said, "We are pleased with this quarters record results, with strong contributions from our oil and gas segment and our PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management segment. Our oil and gas segment benefited from record quarterly production and high commodity prices, while PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management reported record operating income and average coal royalties per ton.

"We expect growth in our oil and gas segment from a number of our project areas, including the Lower Bossier (Haynesville) Shale in East Texas, the Granite Wash formation in the Mid-Continent region, the Selma Chalk in Mississippi and Appalachian horizontal coalbed methane (HCBM). We are encouraged by all of our initial Lower Bossier Shale horizontal wells, Granite Wash horizontal wells and Selma Chalk horizontal wells for which we have results. In Appalachia, in addition to continued HCBM drilling, we have expanded our acreage position in areas of Pennsylvania that we believe to be prospective for the Marcellus Shale with initial exploration expected in late 2009.

"PVR continues to experience growth in the cash flows from its coal and natural resource management and midstream segments as a result of strong coal fundamentals and increased system throughput volumes due to recent midstream expansions and acquisitions. PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management had a solid third quarter due to the rise in average coal royalties per ton to a record $3.92, which was 42 percent higher than the prior year quarter and 10 percent higher than the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the renewals of a substantial portion of PVRs lessees contracts for production in Central Appalachia and the Illinois Basin at higher prices.

"During the third quarter, PVR Midstream increased its system throughput volumes by 55 percent over the prior year quarter and 16 percent relative to the second quarter of 2008 as a result of contributions from two new processing plants and recent acquisitions of gathering and transportation systems in Texas. However, the increase in system throughput volumes in the quarter was more than offset by the impact of Hurricane Ike, which forced PVR Midstream to curtail natural gas liquids (NGL) production during September and October.

"We own 77 percent of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG), the owner of the general partner and largest limited partner unitholder of PVR. PVG currently provides approximately $46 million of annualized cash distributions to PVA approximately 19 percent higher than the annualized amount in the prior year quarter.

"Like most of the independent oil and gas industry, we are taking a cautious approach to our capital spending plans as we exit 2008 and enter 2009. We are in the process of designing our 2009 capital spending budget, which will reflect our ongoing view of industry and capital markets conditions. Based on currently available information, we believe our inventory of drilling locations and financial position is sufficient to allow us to continue to grow production and reserves in 2009.

Oil and Gas Segment Review

Record third quarter 2008 oil and gas production of 11.7 Bcfe was five percent higher than the 11.1 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2007 and was two percent higher than the 11.4 Bcfe in the second quarter of 2008. See PVAs separate operational update news release dated October 29, 2008 for a more detailed discussion of third quarter 2008 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas segment.

Oil and gas segment operating income for the third quarter of 2008 was $89.0 million, a 228 percent increase from the $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. Total oil and gas revenues increased by 84 percent from $85.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $156.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 61 percent increase in the realized natural gas price and a 63 percent increase in the realized crude oil price. Revenues also grew as a result of the production increase, which was primarily attributable to a 441 percent increase in NGL production as a result of the new PVR Midstream processing plant in East Texas.

In the third quarter of 2008, total oil and gas segment expenses increased by $9.6 million, or 16 percent, to $67.7 million, or $5.79 per Mcfe produced, from $58.2 million, or $5.24 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007, as discussed below:

--   Third quarter 2008 cash operating expenses increased by $6.0 million, or 29 percent, to $26.7 million, or $2.29 per Mcfe produced, from $20.8 million, or $1.86 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007. The overall increase in cash operating expenses was primarily due to the production increase. Increases in cash operating expenses per unit of production as compared to the prior year quarter are discussed below:
 
-- Lease operating expense increased to $1.29 per Mcfe from $1.10 per Mcfe, primarily due to increased compressor rentals in the East Texas region due to volume growth, where PVA's drilling program is highly active, and increased processing fees related to PVR Midstream's East Texas gas processing plant;
 
-- Taxes other than income increased to $0.56 per Mcfe from $0.39 per Mcfe, primarily due to increased severance taxes related to higher commodity prices in the third quarter of 2008 relative to the prior year quarter; and
 

 

-- G&A expense increased to $0.44 per Mcfe from $0.37 per Mcfe, primarily due to increased staffing costs.

 
-- Exploration expense decreased to $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to $12.9 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases in dry hole costs and leasehold expenses, partially offset by increases in geological, geophysical and other expenses.
 
-- Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) expense increased by $10.5 million, or 47 percent, to $32.7 million, or $2.79 per Mcfe, in the third quarter of 2008 from $22.2 million, or $2.00 per Mcfe, in the prior year quarter. The overall increase in DD&A expense was primarily due to the higher depletion rate per unit of production, a result of higher drilling costs and acquisitions as well as the production increase.

Coal & Natural Resource Management and Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (PVR and PVG)

Operating income for PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management increased 48 percent to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $17.7 million in the prior year quarter. Hurricane-related curtailments caused operating income for PVR Midstream to decrease two percent to $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $14.1 million in the prior year quarter. Financial and operational results and full-year 2008 guidance for each of these segments are provided in the financial tables later in this release. In addition, operational updates for these segments are discussed in more detail in PVRs news release dated November 5, 2008 (please visit PVRs website, www.pvresource.com under "For Investors, for a copy of the release).

As previously announced, on November 19, 2008, PVG will pay to unitholders of record as of November 6, 2008 a quarterly cash distribution covering the period of July 1 through September 30, 2008 in the amount of $0.38 per unit, or an annualized rate of $1.52 per unit. On an annualized basis, this represents a $0.08 per unit, or six percent, increase over the annualized distribution of $1.44 per unit paid for the second quarter of 2008 and a 27 percent increase over the annualized distribution of $1.20 per unit for the same quarter of 2007.

As a result of PVGs distribution increase, PVA will receive a cash distribution of approximately $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, which would be approximately $45.7 million on an annualized basis.

PVG owns PVRs general partner, including the incentive distribution rights, and is PVRs largest limited partner unitholder. PVG derives its cash flow solely from cash distributions received from PVR. As the owner of the general partner and largest unitholder of PVG, PVA reports its financial results on a consolidated basis with the financial results of PVG.

A conversion of the GAAP-compliant financial statements ("As reported) to the equity method of accounting ("As adjusted) is included in the "Conversion to Non-GAAP Equity Method table in this release. Using the equity method, PVGs results are reduced to a few line items and the results from oil and gas operations and corporate are therefore highlighted. Management believes that this is useful since the oil and gas and corporate segments provide a majority of the cash flow from operations generated by PVA, as compared to distributions PVA receives from PVG. Management believes that the financial statements presented using the equity method are less complex and more comparable to those of other oil and gas exploration and production companies.

Capital Resources and Impact of Derivatives

As of September 30, 2008, PVA had outstanding borrowings of $410.0 million, including $230.0 million of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2012 and $180.0 million of borrowings under its $479.0 million revolving credit facility. The $58.0 million increase in outstanding borrowings as compared to the $352.0 million at December 31, 2007 was primarily due to higher spending to fund PVAs oil and gas capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2008.

As of September 30, 2008, PVR had outstanding borrowings of $558.1 million under its $700 million revolving credit facility. The $146.4 million increase in outstanding borrowings as compared to the $411.7 million as of December 31, 2007 was primarily due to acquisitions and capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2008, partially offset by the net proceeds from a public offering of common units in May 2008. In July 2008, $58.4 million of senior unsecured notes were repaid, resulting in a $3.8 million make-whole payment to noteholders.

Consolidated interest expense increased from $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase was due to higher weighted average levels of outstanding borrowings during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Based on derivatives currently in place for natural gas production, PVA has hedged approximately 55 percent of natural gas production for the fourth quarter of 2008, based on the midpoint of production guidance, at weighted average floors and ceilings of $8.50 and $11.15 per MMBtu. In 2009, PVA has hedged approximately 42 million cubic feet of natural gas per day at weighted average floors and ceilings of $8.94 and $11.72 per MMBtu. See the Guidance Table included in this release for details of production guidance and derivative positions.

Due to decreases in natural gas and crude oil prices experienced during the third quarter, the mark-to-market valuation of PVA and PVR open hedging positions resulted in derivatives income of $125.1 million, as compared to expense of $4.5 million in the prior year quarter. Included in derivatives income for the third quarter of 2008 was $109.4 million related to PVAs oil and gas segment and $15.7 million of derivatives income related to PVR. Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash payments of $19.8 million during the third quarter of 2008, as compared to $0.6 million of net cash receipts in the third quarter of 2007. Included in the cash settlement of derivatives for the third quarter of 2008 was $5.7 million of net cash payments related to PVAs oil and gas segment and $14.1 million of net cash payments related to PVR. Most of the mark-to-market based derivative income represents prospective future payments assuming commodity prices remain as indicated by the futures markets on the September 30, 2008 valuation date.

Guidance for 2008

See the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance estimates for full-year 2008. These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as PVAs and PVRs operating environments change.

(a) - Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management believes that operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an energy company's ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund investing activities, service debt and pay dividends. Operating cash flow is widely used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the energy industry. Operating cash flow is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Operating 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.

(b) - Minority interest for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 has been adjusted for the effect of incentive distribution rights and reflects the minority interest percentage of net income recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

(c) - The impact of these adjustments on PVA's income tax expense reflects its effective tax rate of 38.0%.

(d) - Net income as adjusted represents net income adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives and the effect of PVR's net income allocated to PVR units that we own and have awarded under PVR's long-term incentive compensation plan. Management believes this presentation is widely used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, as well as companies within the natural gas midstream industry. Management uses this information for comparative purposes within these industries. 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.

(a) Equity method income statements represent consolidated income statements, minus 100% of PVGs consolidated results of operations, plus minority interest which represents the portion of PVGs consolidated results of operations that we do not own. PVA's management believes equity method income statements provide useful information to allow the public to more easily discern PVGs effect on PVA's operations.

(a) Equity method balance sheets represent consolidated balance sheets, minus 100% of PVGs consolidated balance sheets, excluding minority interest which represents the portion of PVGs consolidated balance sheet that PVA does not own and including other adjustments to eliminate inter-company transactions. PVA's management believes equity method balance sheets provide useful information to allow the public to more easily discern PVGs effect on PVA's assets, liabilities and shareholders equity.

(b) Equity method statements of cash flows represent consolidated statements of cash flows, minus 100% of PVGs consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding minority interest which represents the portion of PVGs consolidated results of operations that PVA does not own and including other adjustments to eliminate inter-company transactions. PVA's management believes equity method statements of cash flows provide useful information to allow the public to more easily discern PVGs effect on PVA's cash flows.

Notes to Guidance Table:

 
(a) The following table shows PVA's current derivative positions for natural gas production in the oil and gas segment as of September 30, 2008:

 
    Weighted Average Price
Average Volume Additional Put    
Per Day Option Floor Ceiling
 
Natural gas costless collars (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
Fourth quarter 2008 (1) 10,000 $ 7.50 $ 9.10
 
Natural gas three-way collars (2) (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
Fourth quarter 2008 67,500 $ 5.89 $ 8.55 $ 11.26
First quarter 2009 65,000 $ 6.00 $ 8.67 $ 11.68
Second quarter 2009 40,000 $ 6.38 $ 8.75 $ 10.79
Third quarter 2009 40,000 $ 6.38 $ 8.75 $ 10.79
Fourth quarter 2009 30,000 $ 6.83 $ 9.50 $ 13.60
First quarter 2010 30,000 $ 6.83 $ 9.50 $ 13.60
 
Natural gas basis swaps (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
Fourth quarter 2008 15,000 $ 0.39
 
Crude oil three-way collars (2) (in barrels) (per barrel)
Fourth quarter 2008 500 $ 80.00 $ 110.00 $ 179.00
First quarter 2009 500 $ 80.00 $ 110.00 $ 179.00
Second quarter 2009 500 $ 80.00 $ 110.00 $ 179.00
Third quarter 2009 500 $ 80.00 $ 110.00 $ 179.00
Fourth quarter 2009 500 $ 80.00 $ 110.00 $ 179.00
 
Management estimates that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, oil and gas segment operating income for the last three months of 2008 would increase or decrease by approximately $11.6 million. In addition, management estimates that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil price, oil and gas segment operating income would increase or decrease by approximately $1.3 million. This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at forecasted levels. These estimated changes in oil and gas segment operating income exclude the potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.
 
(1) This position expires in October 2008.
(2) A three-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that the Company will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price (i.e., NYMEX) plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price.

(b) The costless collar natural gas prices per MMBtu per quarter include the effects of basis differentials, if any. The following table shows current derivative positions for natural gas production in PVR's natural gas midstream segment as of September 30, 2008:
 

 

 

 

     
Weighted Average Price - Collars

Average Volume Per Day

Weighted Average Price

Additional Put Option

Frac spread (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
Fourth quarter 2008 7,824 $ 5.02
 
Ethane sale swap (in gallons) (per gallon)
Fourth quarter 2008 34,440 $ 0.4700
 
Propane sale swaps (in gallons) (per gallon)
Fourth quarter 2008 26,040 $ 0.7175
 
Crude oil sale swaps (in barrels) (per barrel)
Fourth quarter 2008 560 $ 49.27
 
Natural gasoline collar (in gallons) (per gallon)
Fourth quarter 2008 6,300 $ 1.4800 $ 1.6465
 
Crude oil collar (in barrels) (per barrel)
Fourth quarter 2008 400 $ 65.00 $ 75.25
 
Natural gas sale swaps (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
Fourth quarter 2008 4,000 $ 6.97
 
Crude oil three-way collar (1) (in barrels) (per barrel)
First quarter 2009 through fourth quarter 2009 1,000 $ 70.00 $ 90.00 $ 119.25
 
Frac spread collar (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
First quarter 2009 through fourth quarter 2009 6,000 $ 9.09 $ 13.94
 
  Management estimates that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu decrease or increase in the natural gas price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the last three months of 2008 would increase or decrease by approximately $1.4 million. In addition, management estimates that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income would increase or decrease by approximately $1.8 million. This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at forecasted levels. These estimated changes in gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.
 
(1) A three-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that PVA or PVR will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that PVA or PVR will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price (i.e., NYMEX) plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price.
 
(c) Year-to-date 2008 results and full-year 2008 guidance reflect increased incentive compensation costs in general and administrative expense.
 
(d) PVA capitalizes a portion of interest expense incurred to recognize the carrying cost of certain unproved properties as required by GAAP.
 
(e) PVA controls the general partner of PVG and owns a 77 percent limited partner interest in PVG. PVG's operating results are included in PVA's consolidated financial statements and minority interest reflected the 23 percent of PVG owned by parties other than PVA.
 
(f) Deferred federal and state income taxes are expected to comprise approximately 65% to 75% of PVA's income tax expense for the full year.
 
(g) 2008 amounts received are dependent primarily upon distributions paid by PVG.
