FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PVR PARTNERS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
AND DECLARES CASH DISTRIBUTION
RADNOR, PA - October 24, 2013 … PVR Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) (“PVR”) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, PVR declared a quarterly distribution of $0.55 per unit.
Third Quarter Results
Third quarter 2013 highlights and results, with comparisons to results for the third quarter of 2012 (“last year”) and the second quarter of 2013 (“last quarter”), included the following:
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA of $79.9 million as compared to $61.2 million last year and $76.1 million last quarter. |
| • | | Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”) of $49.5 million as compared to $36.6 million last year and $49.0 million last quarter. |
| • | | Average daily natural gas throughput volumes of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcfd”) as compared with 1.0 Bcfd last year and 1.7 Bcfd last quarter. |
In addition, on August 19 PVR sold its 25% membership interest in Thunder Creek Gas Services, L.L.C. for $58.6 million which resulted in a reported gain of $14.3 million. The $14.3 million gain is included in Other Revenue and has been subtracted from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF.
Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measures. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow.
Quarterly Distribution
The Board of Directors of PVR GP, LLC, the general partner of PVR, declared a quarterly distribution of $0.55 per unit payable in cash on November 13, 2013 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on November 6, 2013. This distribution equates to an annualized rate of $2.20 per unit, which is unchanged from the distribution paid with respect to the second quarter of 2013 and represents a 1.9% increase over the distribution paid with respect to the third quarter of 2012.
Management Comment
“We are pleased with our third quarter results” said Bill Shea, President and CEO of PVR’s general partner. “The Eastern Midstream Segment continues to show progress in volumes over last year and last quarter and we expect that progress to continue. Our Midcontinent Midstream Segment benefitted from an improved commodity pricing environment, and our Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment has performed in-line with our expectations.”

Eastern Midstream Segment Results
The Eastern Midstream Segment reported third quarter 2013 results, with comparisons to third quarter 2012 results and the second quarter of 2013, as follows:
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA of $43.5 million as compared to $21.4 million last year and $38.1 million last quarter, primarily due to the continued development of internal growth projects and the acquisition of Chief Gathering LLC. |
| • | | Quarterly average throughput volumes of 1.4 Bcfd as compared to 0.6 Bcfd last year and 1.3 Bcfd last quarter, reflecting growth on PVR’s existing systems, as well as the acquisition and expansion of the Chief Gathering systems. |
Midcontinent Midstream Segment Results
The Midcontinent Midstream Segment reported third quarter 2013 results, with comparisons to third quarter 2012 results and the second quarter of 2013, as follows:
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million as compared to $13.0 million last year and $14.9 million last quarter. |
| • | | Quarterly average throughput volumes of 381 MMcfd as compared to 410 MMcfd last year and 382 MMcfd last quarter. |
Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment Results

| • | | Adjusted EBITDA of $19.3 million as compared to $26.8 million last year and $23.1 million last quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to decreased coal production and pricing. |
| • | | Coal royalty tons of 5.7 million tons as compared to 7.7 million tons last year and 6.9 million tons last quarter. |
| • | | Coal royalties revenue of $20.8 million, or $3.66 per ton, as compared to $28.8 million, or $3.73 per ton last year and $23.2 million or $3.37 per ton last quarter. |
Capital Investment and Resources
We invested $76.9 million on internal growth projects in our midstream businesses during the third quarter of 2013, of which $64.8 million was invested in the Eastern Midstream Segment.
In September PVR closed on a public offering of 5.5 million common units. The terms of the offering granted the underwriter the option to purchase a maximum of 825,000 additional common units. On October 16th, the underwriter purchased 600,000 units available under that option. Net proceeds from the offering, including the option exercised, totaled approximately $138.1 million and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under PVR’s $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, we had borrowings of $332.5 million under our revolving credit facility.

(a) | Segment Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, tax and depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), represents net income plus DD&A, plus impairments, plus acquisition related costs, minus gain on sale of assets, plus interest expense, plus or minus derivative losses or gains and minus other items included in net income. We believe EBITDA or a version of Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the natural gas midstream and coal industries. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA 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. |
(b) | Distributable cash flow represents net income plus DD&A, plus impairments, plus acquisition related costs, minus gain on sale of assets, plus (minus) derivative losses (gains) included in net income, plus (minus) cash received (paid) for derivative settlements, minus equity earnings in joint ventures, plus cash distributions from joint ventures, minus maintenance capital expenditures. At management’s discretion, a fixed amount of $1.8 million per quarter in 2013 and $1.3 million per quarter in 2012 has been included in maintenance capital for well connects. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative standard used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of publicly traded partnerships. Distributable cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Distributable 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. For comparative purposes, prior year amounts exclude replacement capital expenditures. |
(c) | Net income, as adjusted, represents net income adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash impairment charges, one-time charges related to acquisitions and changes in the fair value of derivatives, minus gain on sale of assets. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the natural gas midstream industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. 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. |

Our exposure profile with respect to commodity prices depends on many factors, including inlet volumes, plant operational efficiencies, contractual terms, and the price relationship between ethane and natural gas.
We anticipate operating our plants in “ethane rejection” for the remainder of 2013. Under this operational mode, we estimate that for every $1.00 per MMBtu change in the natural gas price, our natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2013 would change by $4.7 million, excluding the effect of the natural gas hedges described above, and all other factors remaining constant. The natural gas hedges described above would reduce the net impact to $4.2 million.
Similarly, for every $5.00 per barrel change in crude oil prices, with all other factors remaining constant, and excluding the effect of the 2013 crude oil derivative described above, we estimate that our natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income would change by $0.5 million. The crude oil hedge described above would reduce the net impact to $0.2 million.
For every $0.05 per gallon increase in the price of ethane with all other factors remaining constant, we estimate that our gross margin and operating income will decrease by $0.7 million while operating in ethane rejection. Finally, for every $0.05 per gallon increase in the price of other NGLs with all other factors remaining constant, we estimate that our gross margin and operating income will increase by $0.4 million. The propane hedge described above would reduce the net impact to $0.2 million.
(1) | The natural gas swaps settle against the monthly index price reported in Inside FERC’s Natural Gas Market Report for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas), which has historically tended to be settled at a lower price than the Henry Hub national benchmark. A significant portion of our physical gas sales are also priced using this reported monthly index. |
