ANNOUNCES 2006 RESULTS AND 2007 GUIDANCE
RADNOR, PA (BusinessWire) February 14, 2006 –Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG) today reported distributable cash of $2.7 million and net income of $10.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Full-year 2006 net income was $32.0 million, compared with net income of $20.8 million for the full-year 2005. A reconciliation of distributable cash, a non-GAAP financial measure, appears in the financial tables later in this release.
As previously announced, PVG today paid to unitholders of record as of February 5, 2007 a quarterly cash distribution in the amount of $0.07 per unit, or an annualized rate of $0.96 per unit, covering the period December 5, when PVG units began trading, through December 31, 2006. This distribution represents a $0.02 per unit increase over the $0.94 per unit annualized distribution contemplated in connection with PVG’s initial public offering.
PVG owns the general partner, including the incentive distribution rights, and is the largest unitholder of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) and reports its financial results on a consolidated basis with the financial results of PVR. PVG currently has no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by PVR, and its cash flow is derived solely from cash distributions received from PVR.
Management Comment
A. James Dearlove, Chief Executive Officer of PVR, said, “We are pleased to present our inaugural report of results for PVG. PVR’s operations, which generate our cash flows, produced record results during 2006 which allowed for distribution increases during 2006 to PVR unitholders and provided the impetus for the increase in the initial distribution by PVG over the levels contemplated in connection with its initial public offering. We remain focused on continuing to grow cash distributions during 2007 and beyond.”
Coal Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. – NYSE:PVR)
Full-year 2006 operating income in PVR’s coal segment was a record $73.4 million, or 19 percent higher than the $61.7 million reported in 2005. Revenues increased in 2006, as compared to 2005, mainly as the result of acquisitions, increased coal production by PVR’s lessees and higher coal prices. The revenue increase was offset primarily by increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense and by smaller increases in operating and general and administrative expenses, as a result of acquisitions and increased lessee production.
Fourth quarter 2006 operating income in PVR’s coal segment was $18.3 million, or 11 percent higher than the $16.5 million reported for the prior year. Revenues increased in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the prior year, mainly as the result of acquisitions, increased coal production by PVR’s lessees and higher coal prices, offset in part by increased operating expense and DD&A expense.
Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. – NYSE: PVR)
Full-year 2006 operating income in PVR’s natural gas midstream segment was $29.4 million, or 80 percent higher than the $16.3 million for the ten month results reported in 2005. The gross midstream processing margin, represented by natural gas midstream revenues less cost of cash purchased, increased in 2006, as compared to 2005, mainly as a result of a full year of results in 2006 as compared to ten months of results in 2005, increased average daily processing plant inlet volumes and an improved spread between natural gas liquids (NGLs) prices and natural gas prices. Other expenses increased in 2006, as compared to 2005, due to a full year of results in 2006 as compared to ten months of results in 2005 and increased plant inlet volumes.
Fourth quarter 2006 operating income in PVR’s natural gas midstream segment was $7.1 million, or 65 percent higher than the $4.3 million in the prior year. The gross midstream processing margin increased in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the prior year, mainly as a result of increased plant inlet volumes, partially offset by declining spread between NGL prices and natural gas prices due to lower prices in the crude oil markets at the end of 2006. Other expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased inlet volumes.
Impact of Derivatives
In order to manage exposure to the acquisition economics as well as future cash flows in PVR’s natural gas midstream segment acquired in March 2005, PVR periodically enters into commodity price hedging arrangements with financial counterparties, covering a portion of its expected production. During the full-year and the fourth quarter of 2006, gains (losses) on derivatives changed from a loss of $14.0 million in 2005 to a loss of $11.3 million in 2006 and from a loss of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 to a gain of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. See the Guidance Table included in this release for detail of PVR’s derivative positions as of December 31, 2006.
Guidance for 2007
See the Guidance Table included in this release for PVG guidance estimates for 2007. These estimates, including planned capital expenditures, which exclude potential acquisitions, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as the operating environment of PVG and PVR changes.

Note 1—Net expenses of PVG represents general and administrative expenses, offset by interest income.
Note 2—Distributable cash is presented because the Company believes it is a useful adjunct to net income under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Distributable cash is a significant liquidity metric which is an indicator of PVG’s ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distributions paid to its partners. Distributable cash is also the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships. Distributable cash 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.

Note to Guidance Table:
(a) The natural gas midstream segment’s derivative positions as of December 31, 2006, are summarized below:
| | | | | | | |
| | Average Volume Per Day | | | Weighted Average Price | |
| |
| |
Ethane Swaps (revenue) | | (in gallons | ) | | | (per gallon | ) |
First Quarter 2007 through Fourth Quarter 2007 | | 34,440 | | | $ | 0.5050 | |
First Quarter 2008 through Fourth Quarter 2008 | | 34,440 | | | $ | 0.4700 | |
| | |
Propane Swaps (revenue) | | (in gallons | ) | | | (per gallon | ) |
First Quarter 2007 through Fourth Quarter 2007 | | 26,040 | | | $ | 0.7550 | |
First Quarter 2008 through Fourth Quarter 2008 | | 26,040 | | | $ | 0.7175 | |
| | |
Crude Oil Swaps (revenue) | | (in barrels | ) | | | (per barrel | ) |
First Quarter 2007 through Fourth Quarter 2007 | | 560 | | | $ | 50.80 | |
First Quarter 2008 through Fourth Quarter 2008 | | 560 | | | $ | 49.27 | |
| | |
Natural Gas Swaps (cost of gas purchased) | | (in MMbtu | ) | | | (per MMbtu | ) |
First Quarter 2007 through Fourth Quarter 2007 | | 4,000 | | | $ | 6.97 | |
First Quarter 2008 through Fourth Quarter 2008 | | 4,000 | | | $ | 6.97 | |
Management estimates that reflective of the above derivative positions, for every $1.00 per MMBtu decrease or increase in natural gas prices from the $7.00 per MMBtu budgeted 2007 benchmark price, natural gas midstream gross processing margin and operating income in 2007 would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $8.1 million. This assumes oil and other liquids prices and inlet volumes remain constant at budgeted levels. In addition, management also estimates that reflective of the above derivative positions, for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil prices from the $60.00 per barrel budgeted 2007 benchmark price, natural gas midstream gross processing margin and operating income would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $10.0 million. This assumes natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at budgeted levels.
