Penn Virginia Corporation Announces Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2008 Results

Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE:PVA) today reported financial and operational results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and provided an update of full-year 2009 guidance.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Highlights

Fourth quarter 2008 results, with comparisons to fourth quarter 2007 results, included the following:

  • Quarterly record oil and gas production of 13.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe), or 143.8 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day, a 24 percent increase as compared to 10.7 Bcfe, or 116.1 MMcfe per day;
  • Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure, of $95.7 million as compared to $76.3 million;
  • Net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to $5.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share;
  • Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the effects of the non-cash change in derivatives fair value and impairments that affect comparability to the prior year period, of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $13.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share; and
  • Pretax charges for impairment of goodwill of $31.8 million related to PVR Midstream acquisitions and an impairment charge of $20.0 million for proved oil and gas – see "Impairment Charges”.

Full-year 2008 results, with comparisons to full-year 2007 results, included the following:

  • Record annual oil and gas production of 46.9 Bcfe, or 128.1 MMcfe per day, a 15 percent increase as compared to 40.6 Bcfe, or 111.1 MMcfe per day;
  • Record proved reserves of 916 Bcfe, a 35 percent increase as compared to 680 Bcfe;
  • Operating cash flow of $413.8 million as compared to $302.5 million;
  • Net income of $124.2 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, as compared to $50.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share; and
  • Adjusted net income of $108.3 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, as compared to $72.2 million, or $1.88 per diluted share.

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

In the fourth quarter of 2008, our operating loss was $31.9 million, which was $77.0 million, or 171 percent, lower than the $45.1 million of operating income in the fourth quarter of 2007. Excluding $51.8 million of non-cash impairment charges during the quarter (see "Impairment Charges”), the decrease in operating income was $25.2 million. The decrease in operating income, excluding the effects of impairments, was comprised of a $23.1 million decrease in oil and gas segment operating income and a $17.6 million decrease in natural gas midstream segment (PVR Midstream) operating income, excluding the above charges, offset in part by a $12.8 million increase in operating income from the coal and natural resource management segment (PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management) and a $2.7 million decrease in corporate general and administrative (G&A) expenses.

Oil and gas segment operating income decreased by $43.1 million, including the $20.0 million impairment charge to an operating loss of $24.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding the impairment charge, segment operating loss was $4.5 million, or 124 percent, lower than the $18.6 million of segment operating income in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to an $13.8 million, or 26 percent, increase in operating expenses and a $17.7 million increase in exploration expense. The increase in exploration expense was due primarily to the write-off of exploratory wells deemed to be non-commercial and the expensing of leasehold costs in two areas, offset in part by an $8.2 million, or 11 percent, increase in revenue as a result of the 24 percent production increase.

Operating income for PVR Midstream decreased by $49.4 million, including the $31.8 million goodwill impairment charge, to an operating loss of $28.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding this charge, segment operating income was $3.0 million, 85 percent lower than the $20.6 million of segment operating income in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a 35 percent decrease in midstream gross margin and a 62 percent increase in operating expenses, offset in part by a 75 percent increase in system throughput volumes. Operating income for PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management increased by $12.8 million, or 82 percent, to $28.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Operating income for PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management increased due primarily to a 19 percent increase in lessee coal production and a 38 percent increase in average coal royalties per ton, offset in part by a 30 percent increase in operating expenses.

Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2008 increased $19.4 million, or 25 percent, to $95.7 million from $76.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income, prior to depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) expense and impairments, a decrease in cash paid to settle derivatives, lower cash income taxes paid and an increase in other cash flows from operating activities. These increases were partially offset by increased interest expense and decreased other income.

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

The decrease in net income in the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the $77.0 million decrease in operating income, including impairments, higher interest expense, lower other income and higher minority interest, partially offset by a $76.2 million increase in derivatives income, resulting mainly from changes in the valuation of unrealized derivative positions, and lower income tax expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating cash flow was $413.8 million, as compared to $302.5 million in 2007. Operating income was $256.8 million, which includes the $51.8 million of impairments, as compared to $192.6 million in 2007. Adjusted net income was $108.3 million, which excludes the effects of the non-cash change in derivatives fair value and impairments, or $2.58 per diluted share, as compared to $72.2 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, in 2007. Net income was $124.2 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, as compared to $50.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share.

Management Comment

A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer of PVA, said, "We are pleased to report the growth in production and proved reserves in 2008, a year in which strong commodity price and stable financial markets deteriorated significantly by the fourth quarter. For us, the fallout from this erosion in the markets has been a reduction in planned capital expenditures in 2009, as well as additional non-cash impairment charges in our reported financial results during the fourth quarter.

"We expect proved reserve and production growth in 2009 in our oil and gas segment from a number of our core project areas, including the Lower Bossier (Haynesville) Shale in East Texas, the Granite Wash formation in the Mid-Continent region and the Selma Chalk in Mississippi. We continue to encouraged by the early results in the Lower Bossier Shale, as well as the strong results from the Granite Wash and Selma Chalk.

"As is the case with many of our peers in the oil and gas industry, we are taking a cautious approach to our capital spending plans in 2009. We have reduced our full-year 2009 capital expenditures guidance to a range of $225 to $250 million, down slightly from a $250 million capital budget, but we still anticipate year-over-year production growth of nine to 13 percent in 2009. The 2009 oil and gas capital expenditures plan is expected to be funded primarily by operating cash flows, supplemented as needed with our revolving credit facility, on which we had availability of approximately $147 million as of year-end 2008. We continue to maintain an ample inventory of drilling locations which can be exploited to facilitate production growth when market conditions improve.

"PVR Coal & Natural Resource Management continues to provide strong contributions to cash flows, as this segment continued to perform well in the fourth quarter due to 38 percent higher average coal royalties per ton and 19 percent higher lessee coal production than the prior year quarter. We expect continued strength into 2009 for which our lessees have locked in pricing for over 80 percent of their market price sensitive coal production.

"During the fourth quarter, PVR Midstream continued to increase its system throughput volumes, with record volumes 75 percent higher than the prior year quarter and seven percent higher relative to the third quarter of 2008. However, the increase in system throughput volumes in the quarter was more than offset by the impact of a dramatic slowdown in the economy, which has reduced the demand for natural gas liquids (NGLs), and the lingering impacts of hurricanes, which caused a buildup in stored NGLs that could not be processed in the latter part of 2008. General economic conditions and reduced commodity prices in 2009 are expected to continue to dampen margins from this segment, offset by expected increases in system throughput volumes. Our hedging program is expected to provide additional support for our midstream margins in 2009.

"For PVR, which has a capital structure independent of Penn Virginia Corporation, we need to have access to capital to continue the growth of our coal and midstream business segments. Access to the debt and equity capital markets continues to be difficult and we cannot predict when those markets will improve. As of the end of 2008, PVR had approximately $130 million of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, which we believe provides adequate cushion to support PVR’s working capital needs and some modest growth opportunities.”

Oil and Gas Segment Review

Proved natural gas and oil reserves increased by 35 percent in 2008, from 680 Bcfe at December 31, 2007 to 916 Bcfe at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily the result of successful drilling programs in East Texas, the Mid-Continent region and in Mississippi. Oil and gas production grew 15 percent from 40.6 Bcfe in 2007 to a record 46.9 Bcfe in 2008. Fourth quarter 2008 oil and gas production grew 24 percent to a record 13.2 Bcfe from 10.7 Bcfe in the fourth quarter of 2007, and was 13 percent higher than the previous quarterly record of 11.7 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2008. See PVA’s separate operational update news release dated February 6, 2009 for a more detailed discussion of full-year and fourth quarter 2008 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, oil and gas segment operating income decreased by $43.1 million to an operating loss of $24.5 million, including a $20.0 million impairment charge. Excluding the impairment charge, the segment operating loss was $4.5 million, a decrease of $23.1 million, or 124 percent, from $18.6 million of operating income in the prior year quarter.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, total oil and gas segment expenses, excluding the impairment charge, increased by $31.5 million, or 53 percent, to $90.5 million, or $6.84 per Mcfe produced, from $59.0 million, or $5.52 per Mcfe produced, in the fourth quarter of 2007, as discussed below:

  • Fourth quarter 2008 cash operating expenses increased by $1.0 million, or four percent, to $26.4 million, or $1.99 per Mcfe produced, from $25.4 million, or $2.38 per Mcfe produced, in the fourth quarter of 2007. The overall increase in cash operating expenses was primarily due to the production increase. Decreases in cash operating expenses per unit of production as compared to the prior year quarter are discussed below:
  • Lease operating expense decreased to $1.22 per Mcfe from $1.45 per Mcfe primarily due to reduced water disposal and gathering costs in East Texas and reduced compression and downhole maintenance costs in several operating areas as compared to the prior year quarter;
  • Taxes other than income decreased to $0.29 per Mcfe from $0.43 per Mcfe primarily due to decreased severance taxes related to lower commodity prices in the fourth quarter of 2008 relative to the prior year quarter; and
  • G&A expense was flat at $0.49 per Mcfe as compared to $0.49 per Mcfe.
  • Exploration expense increased to $22.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, as compared to $5.0 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to
  • approximately $8.8 million of charges for several exploratory wells in West Virginia determined to be non-commercial during the quarter; and
  • approximately $5.1 million of charges to expense leasehold acquisition costs in two plays in which we have no foreseeable drilling plans.
  • DD&A expense increased by $12.8 million, or 45 percent, to $41.4 million, or $3.13 per Mcfe, in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $28.6 million, or $2.68 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 leasehold 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 82 percent to $28.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $15.6 million in the prior year quarter. A weakening economy and the aftermath of hurricanes caused operating income for PVR Midstream, excluding a $31.8 million charge to goodwill, to decrease 85 percent to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $20.6 million in the prior year quarter. Financial and operational results and full-year 2009 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 PVR’s news release dated February 11, 2009 (please visit PVR’s website, www.pvresource.com, under "For Investors” for a copy of the release).

As previously announced, on February 18, 2009, PVG will pay to unitholders of record as of February 2, 2009 a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38 per unit, or an annualized rate of $1.52 per unit, covering the period of October 1 through December 31, 2008. On an annualized basis, this represents a 19 percent increase over the annualized distribution of $1.28 per unit for the same quarter of 2007 and is unchanged from the distribution paid for the third quarter of 2008.

As a result of PVG’s distribution, PVA will receive a cash distribution of approximately $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2009, which would be approximately $45.7 million on an annualized basis.

PVG owns PVR’s general partner, including the incentive distribution rights, and is PVR’s 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, we report our 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, PVG’s results are reduced to a few line items and the results from oil and gas operations and corporate are therefore highlighted. We believe that this is useful since the oil and gas and corporate segments provide a majority of our cash flow from operations as compared to distributions we receive from PVG. We believe 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.

Impairment Charges

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we incurred approximately $51.8 million of non-cash impairment charges, including:

  • an impairment charge of $31.8 million to reduce to zero all goodwill recorded in conjunction with acquisitions made by PVR Midstream in 2008 and prior years; and
  • an impairment charge to proved oil and gas properties of $20.0 million, including approximately $11 million for Fayetteville Shale properties, approximately $8 million for conventional properties in Oklahoma and approximately $1 million for properties in northern West Virginia.

Capital Resources and Impact of Derivatives

As of December 31, 2008, PVA had outstanding borrowings of $562.0 million, including $230.0 million of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2012 and $332.0 million of borrowings under its $479.0 million revolving credit facility. The $210.0 million increase in outstanding borrowings as compared to the $352.0 million at December 31, 2007 was primarily due to higher spending to fund PVA’s oil and gas capital expenditures during 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, PVR had outstanding borrowings of $568.1 million under its $700 million revolving credit facility. The $156.4 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 2008, partially offset by the net proceeds from a public offering of common units in May 2008.

Consolidated interest expense increased from $11.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 to $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. For full-year 2008, consolidated interest expense was $44.3 million, as compared to $37.4 million for full-year 2007. The increases were due to higher average levels of outstanding borrowings during 2008 as compared to 2007.

Due to decreases in natural gas and crude oil prices experienced during the fourth quarter, the mark-to-market valuation of PVA and PVR open hedging positions resulted in derivatives income of $51.0 million, as compared to derivatives expense of $25.2 million in the prior year quarter. Included in derivatives income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $27.7 million related to PVA’s oil and gas segment and $23.3 million of derivatives income related to PVR. Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash receipts of $0.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2008, as compared to $5.9 million of net cash payments in the fourth quarter of 2007. Included in the cash settlement of derivatives for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $5.8 million of net cash receipts related to PVA’s oil and gas segment and $5.2 million of net cash payments related to PVR.

Guidance for 2009

See the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance estimates for full-year 2009. These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as PVA’s and PVR’s operating environments change.

Reconciliation of GAAP "Net cash provided by operating activities" to Non-GAAP "Operating cash flow"

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 107,087 $ 104,049 $ 383,774 $ 313,030

Adjustments for derivatives:
Derivative losses included in operating income 1,351 1,375 5,480 4,875

Net income (loss) as adjusted per share, diluted $ (0.00 ) $ 0.33 $ 2.58 $ 1.88
 

(a) - Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. We believe 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 we believe 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 December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 

(c) - The impact of these adjustments on our income tax (benefit) expense reflects our effective tax rate of 37.3%.

 
(d) - Net income (loss) as adjusted represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, the effects of impairments and the effect of PVR's net income allocated to PVR units that we own and has awarded under PVR's long-term incentive compensation plan. We believe this presentation is commonly 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. We use this information for comparative purposes within these industries. Net income (loss) 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.

Notes to Guidance Table:

 
(a) The following table shows our current derivative positions for natural gas production in the oil and gas segment as of December 31, 2008:
   
Weighted Average Price
Average   Purchased  
Volume Per

Put /

Sold Call /

Day Sold Put Floor Ceiling
 
Natural Gas Three-way Collars (1) (in MMBtu)

(per MMBtu)

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
 
Crude Oil Three-way Collars (1) (in barrels)

(per barrel)

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
 
We estimate 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 in 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $41 million. In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil price, oil and gas segment operating income in 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $4 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 we will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that we 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 December 31, 2008:
 

 

   
  Weighted Average Price
Average

Purchased

Volume Per

Put /

Sold Call /

Day Sold Put Floor Ceiling
 
Crude Oil Three-Way Collar (in barrels) (per barrel)
First Quarter 2009 through Fourth Quarter 2009 1,000 $ 70.00 $ 90.00 $ 119.25
 
Frac Spread Collar (1) (in MMBtu) (per MMBtu)
First Quarter 2009 through Fourth Quarter 2009 6,000 $ 9.09 $ 13.94
 
  We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income in 2009 would decrease or increase by approximately $4.7 million. In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income in 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $4.6 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) - PVR’s frac spread is the spread between the purchase price for the natural gas PVR purchases from producers and the sale price for the NGLs that PVR sells after processing. PVR hedges against the variability in its frac spread by entering into swap derivative contracts to sell NGLs forward at a predetermined swap price and to purchase an equivalent volume of natural gas forward on an MMBtu basis.

 
(c) We capitalize a portion of interest expense incurred to recognize the carrying cost of certain unproved properties as required by GAAP.
 
(d) We control the general partner of PVG and owns a 77 percent limited partner interest in PVG. PVG's operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements and minority interest reflected the 23 percent of PVG owned by parties other than us.
 
(e) Actual income tax expense for the second and fourth quarters of 2008 include certain adjustments related to the recognition of FIN 48 settlements and return to provision amounts. Our federal and state statutory income tax rates, net of federal income tax benefit, approximate 39%. Deferred federal and state income taxes in 2009 are expected to comprise a significant proportion of our income tax expense (benefit) for the full year.
 
(f) 2008 amounts received are dependent primarily upon distributions paid by PVG.
