Philadelphia, PA – November 7, 2013 - Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) (“ARP” or “the Company”) has reported operating and financial results for the third quarter 2013.
Matthew A. Jones, President of ARP, said, “Our results this quarter continue the substantial growth our company has experienced over just a short period of time. Having expanded our operations through accretive acquisitions and by the drillbit over the past year and a half, we have significantly grown our proved reserves (+700%) and distributions to unitholders (+40%) over that time. Our drilling activities have been strong, exemplified by the tremendous results from our recently completed Marcellus Shale wells. Now, our enterprise is the strongest it’s been — both in asset diversification and our ability to increase cash flow.”

| • | | ARP generated adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), including discretionary adjustments by the Board of Directors of the General Partner, of $60.7 million(1) for the third quarter 2013; |
| • | | On a GAAP basis, net loss was $39.7 million for the third quarter 2013 compared to a net loss of $10.1 million for the prior year comparable period. The loss for each period was caused principally by non-cash expenses, including depreciation, depletion and non-cash compensation expense. |
| • | | ARP declared a cash distribution of $0.56 per limited partner unit for the third quarter 2013, an approximate 4% increase, over the second quarter 2013 and a 30% increase from the prior year third quarter distribution. The third quarter 2013 ARP distribution will be paid on November 14, |
| 2013 to holders of record as of November 6, 2013. ARP expects to distribute between $0.58 and $0.62 per unit for the fourth quarter 2013, and also expects full year 2014 distributions to be in a range of $2.40 to $2.60 per unit. |

E&P Operating Highlights
| • | | Average net daily production for the third quarter 2013 was a record 261.4 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents per day (“Mmcfed”), an increase of approximately 96% from the second quarter 2013. The increase in net production from the second quarter 2013 was due primarily to the recently acquired producing assets from EP Energy in July 2013, located in the Raton Basin (New Mexico), Black Warrior Basin (Alabama) and County Line region (Wyoming). Production also increased from additional wells connected in the third quarter in several of ARP’s key operating areas, including the Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Marble Falls and Mississippi Lime. |
| • | | During the third quarter 2013, ARP connected eight horizontal Marcellus Shale wells located in Lycoming County, PA, which demonstrated exceptionally strong initial flow rates. Despite limitations of infrastructure that have inhibited operation at full capacity, total gross daily production from the eight wells reached maximum pipeline capacity of approximately 62 million cubic feet per day (“Mmcfd”). The characteristics of these well sites are highly favorable compared to other wells in the region due to: the thickness and depth of the shale in the area, level of porosity (~10-14%), permeability (up to 400 nD), TOC (up to 6%), and a high pressure gradient (~0.89 psi/ft). |
| • | | In September 2013, ARP began connecting its five initial wells drilled in the Utica-Point Pleasant formation in northern Harrison County, OH. Early results indicated higher levels of high-grade condensate than originally expected. Midstream service in the Utica Shale has been disrupted due to the Natrium plant fire which occurred in late September 2013. Nonetheless, ARP has been able to flow limited amount of production from these wells and is in the process of identifying additional third-party capacity in order to optimize production. |
| • | | ARP has drilled over 40 wells to date in the oil and liquids rich Marble Falls play, primarily in Jack County, TX in which the Company holds approximately 75,000 net acres. ARP has now identified additional productive zones located above and below the Marble Falls play, including the Caddo formation, Bend conglomerates and Chappel Reefs. Early testing of these formations has yielded initial production rates of 100-300 barrels of oil per day. Additional 3-D seismic is being undertaken to further develop these formations in conjunction with the Marble Falls. |
Hedge Positions
| • | | ARP continued to expand its commodity hedge positions on its legacy production during the third quarter 2013. A summary of ARP’s derivative positions as of November 7, 2013 is provided in the financial tables of this release. |
Corporate Expenses & Capital Position
| • | | Cash general and administrative expense was $9.6 million for the third quarter 2013, $1.1 million higher than the second quarter 2013 and slightly higher compared with the prior year third quarter. The increase compared with the second quarter 2013 was due primarily to additional personnel associated with the EP Energy acquisition, as well as an increase in other administrative costs due to timing. |
| • | | Cash interest expense was $7.9 million for the third quarter 2013, an increase of $4.5 million compared to the second quarter 2013. The increase was primarily due to the recent issuance of $250 million of 9.25% senior notes due 2021, which were used to partially finance the acquisition of natural gas assets from EP Energy in July 2013. |
| • | | As of September 30, 2013, ARP had $948 million of total debt, including $425 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. ARP had approximately $410 million available on its revolving credit facility as of the end of the third quarter. |

(1) | Oil and gas assets naturally decline in future periods and, as such, ARP recognizes the estimated capitalized cost of stemming such decline in production margin for the purpose of stabilizing its DCF and cash distributions, which it refers to as maintenance capital expenditures. ARP calculates the estimate of maintenance capital expenditures by first multiplying its forecasted future full year production margin by its expected aggregate production decline of proved developed producing wells. Maintenance capital expenditures are then the estimated capitalized cost of wells that will generate an estimated first year margin equivalent to the production margin decline, assuming such wells are connected on the first day of the calendar year. ARP does not incur specific capital expenditures expressly for the purpose of maintaining or increasing production margin, but such amounts are a hypothetical subset of wells it expects to drill in future periods, including Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Mississippi Lime and Marble Falls wells, on undeveloped acreage already leased. Estimated capitalized cost of wells included within maintenance capital expenditures are also based upon relevant factors, including utilization of public forward commodity exchange prices, current estimates for regional pricing differentials, estimated labor and material rates and other production costs. Estimates for maintenance capital expenditures in the current year are the sum of the estimate calculated in the prior year plus estimates for the decline in production margin from wells connected during the current year and production acquired through acquisitions. ARP considers expansion capital expenditures to be any capital expenditure costs expended that are not maintenance capital expenditures – generally, this will include expenditures to increase, rather than maintain, production margin in future periods, as well as land, gathering and processing, and other non-drilling capital expenditures. |

(1) | Although not prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), ARP’s management believes the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”) is relevant and useful because it helps ARP’s investors understand its operating performance, allows for easier comparison of it’s results with other master limited partnerships (“MLP”), and is a critical component in the determination of quarterly cash distributions. As a |
| MLP, ARP is required to distribute 100% of available cash, as defined in its limited partnership agreement (“Available Cash”) and subject to cash reserves established by its general partner, to investors on a quarterly basis. ARP refers to Available Cash prior to the establishment of cash reserves as DCF. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. While ARP’s management believes that its methodology of calculating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF is generally consistent with the common practice of other MLPs, such metrics may not be consistent and, as such, may not be comparable to measures reported by other MLPs, who may use other adjustments related to their specific businesses. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are supplemental financial measures used by the ARP’s management and by external users of ARP’s financial statements such as investors, lenders under ARP’s credit facility, research analysts, rating agencies and others to assess its: |
| • | | Operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships and other companies in the upstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; |
| • | | Ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support its distributions to unitholders; |
| • | | Ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expansion; |
| • | | The viability of potential acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects; and |
| • | | Ability to comply with financial covenants in its Amended Credit Facility, which is calculated based upon Adjusted EBITDA. |
DCF is determined by calculating EBITDA, adjusting it for non-cash, non-recurring and other items to achieve Adjusted EBITDA, and then deducting cash interest expense and maintenance capital expenditures. ARP defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus the following adjustments:
| • | | Depreciation, depletion and amortization. |
ARP defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus the following adjustments:
| • | | Acquisition and related costs; |
| • | | Non-cash stock compensation; |
| • | | (Gains) losses on asset disposal; |
| • | | Cash proceeds received from monetization of derivative transactions; |
| • | | Premiums paid on swaption derivative contracts; and |
ARP adjusts DCF for non-cash, non-recurring and other items for the sole purpose of evaluating its cash distribution for the quarterly period, with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA adjusted in the same manner for consistency. ARP defines DCF as Adjusted EBITDA less the following adjustments:
| • | | Cash interest expense; and |
| • | | Maintenance capital expenditures. |
(2) | In accordance with prevailing accounting literature, ARP has adjusted its historical financial statements to present them combined with the historical financial results of the spin-off assets for all periods prior to its spin-off date of March 5, 2012. |
(3) | Oil and gas assets naturally decline in future periods and, as such, ARP recognizes the estimated capitalized cost of stemming such decline in production margin for the purpose of stabilizing its DCF and cash distributions, which it refers to as maintenance capital expenditures. ARP calculates the estimate of maintenance capital expenditures by first multiplying its forecasted future full year production margin by its expected aggregate production decline of proved developed producing wells. Maintenance capital expenditures are then the estimated capitalized cost of wells that will generate an estimated first year margin equivalent to the production margin decline, assuming such wells are connected on the first day of the calendar year. ARP does not incur specific capital expenditures expressly for the purpose of maintaining or increasing production margin, but such amounts are a hypothetical subset of wells it expects to drill in future periods, including Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Mississippi Lime and Marble Falls wells, on undeveloped acreage already leased. Estimated capitalized cost of wells included within maintenance capital expenditures are also based upon relevant factors, including utilization of public forward commodity exchange prices, current estimates for regional pricing differentials, estimated labor and material rates and other production costs. Estimates for maintenance capital expenditures in the current year are the sum of the estimate calculated in the prior year plus estimates for the decline in production margin from wells connected during the current year and production acquired through acquisitions. ARP considers expansion capital expenditures to be any capital expenditure costs expended that are not maintenance capital expenditures – generally, this will include expenditures to increase, rather than maintain, production margin in future periods, as well as land, gathering and processing, and other non-drilling capital expenditures. |
(4) | Reflects a working capital adjustment recognized in September 2012 related to certain amounts included within the contractual cash transaction adjustment associated with the acquisition of certain natural gas and oil properties, the partnership management business, and other assets from AEI, the former owner of Atlas Energy’s general partner, in February 2011. Under GAAP, purchase accounting for an acquisition can be adjusted for up to twelve months after consummation of the transaction – any adjustments after the twelve month window must be treated as income or expense in an enterprise’s statement of operations. ARP excluded this item from Adjusted EBITDA and DCF for the purpose of evaluating DCF for the period to determine its quarterly cash distribution. |
(5) | Includes $4.5 million of net cash proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the rebalancing of ARP’s hedge portfolio for production periods during 2015 and 2016. These amounts were not recognized within its statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, but will be recognized as income during the 2015 and 2016 production periods the original derivatives were scheduled to be settled. ARP included this item in its determination of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and cash distributions for the period presented, and will exclude the amount from its determination of such amounts for the 2015 and 2016 periods. |
(6) | Swaption derivative contracts grant ARP the option to enter into a swap derivative transaction to hedge future production period sales prices for a stated option period, which generally have a duration of a few months and commences upon entering into the derivative contract, in return for an upfront premium. The amounts included within the reconciliation reflect the amortization of premiums ARP paid to enter into swaption derivative contracts for certain acquired volumes over the option period. Generally, ARP enters into swaption derivative contracts to hedge acquired volumes after the announcement of the signed definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire the oil and gas properties, but before it closes on the transaction, as its senior secured revolving credit agreement does not allow it to hedge production volume until it owns such volumes. ARP excludes such costs in its determination of DCF, Adjusted EBITDA and cash distributions for the respective period as they are specific to the related transaction. |
(7) | Excludes non-cash stock compensation expense and certain acquisition and related costs. |
(8) | Excludes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. |
(9) | These amounts reflect net cash proceeds received from the respective effective date through the respective closing date of assets acquired, less estimated and pro forma amounts of maintenance capital expenditures and financing costs. The management of ARP believes these amounts are critical in its evaluation of DCF and cash distributions for the period. Under GAAP, such amounts are characterized as purchase price adjustments and are reflected in the net purchase price paid for the acquired assets, rather than reflected as components of net income or loss for the period. For the 3rd quarter 2013, such amounts include net cash generated by the EP Energy assets of $6.9 million for period from July 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013, less pro forma interest expense of $0.8 million and estimated maintenance capital expenditures of $0.8 million. For the 3rd quarter 2012, such amounts include net cash generated by the Titan assets from July 1, 2012 to July 24, 2012 and the Equal assets from July 1, 2012 to September 23, 2012 of $2.0 million, less estimated maintenance capital expenditures of $0.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, such amounts include pro forma net cash generated by the EP Energy assets of $32.4 million from April 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013, less pro forma interest expense of $3.3 million and estimated maintenance capital expenditures of $3.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, such amounts include net cash generated by the Titan assets from July 1, 2012 to July 24, 2012, the Equal assets from July 1, 2012 to September 23, 2012, and the Carrizo assets from April 1, 2012 to April 29, 2012 of $3.8 million, less estimated maintenance capital expenditures of $0.6 million. |
(10) | This amount reflects well construction and completion margin from the deployment of capital for the investment partnership programs during the 3rd quarter 2013 for which ARP was required to defer recognition under GAAP until additional investor funds were received. Under ARP’s annual investment partnership programs, investor funds must be received by the particular investment partnership by December 31st of that calendar year to be eligible for an investment in that program. |
(11) | Including the discretionary adjustments by the Board of Directors of the General Partner in the determination of quarterly cash distributions, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $60.7 million and $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $145.9 million and $52.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
(12) | Represents the cash distributions declared for the respective period and paid by ARP within 45 days after the end of each quarter, based upon the distributable cash flow generated during the respective quarter. The cash distribution declared of $0.12 per limited partner unit for the 1st quarter 2012 reflected a prorated cash distribution for the 27-day period from March 5, 2012, the date of transfer of the assets to ARP, to March 31, 2012. |
(13) | ARP seeks to at least maintain its current cash distribution in future quarterly periods, and expects to only increase such cash distributions when future Distributable Cash Flow amounts allow for it and are expected to be sustained. The Partnership’s determination of quarterly cash distributions and its resulting determination of the amount of excess (shortfall) those cash distributions generate in comparison to Distributable Cash Flow are based upon its assessment of numerous factors, including but not limited to future commodity price and interest rate movements, variability of well productivity, weather effects, and financial leverage. ARP also considers its historical trailing four quarters of excess or shortfalls and future forecasted excess or shortfalls that its cash distributions generate in comparison to Distributable Cash Flow due to the variability of its Distributable Cash Flow generated each quarter, which could cause it to have more or less excess (shortfalls) generated from quarter to quarter. |
