PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2006 RESULTS

RADNOR, PA (Businesswire) May 4, 2006 – Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE:PVA) today reported first quarter 2006 net income of $24.1 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2005. For the first quarter of 2006, operating income was $48.7 million, compared to first quarter 2005 operating income of $27.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.7 million for the first quarter of 2006, more than two times the $30.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2005. Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $64.8 million for the first quarter of 2006, or 50 percent above $43.1 million reported for the first quarter of 2005. The increases in net income, operating income and cash flow were primarily due to increased natural gas revenues as a result of higher commodity prices and record oil and gas production volumes, along with increased contributions from the Company’s ownership in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE:PVR), which is reported under the coal and natural gas midstream segments below. Net income also increased due to a decrease in non-cash derivative losses. The increase in net income was offset in part by increased interest expense. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financials measures appears in the financial tables later in this release.

Management Comment

A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Record natural gas production for the first quarter of 2006 was approximately 14 percent over the corresponding quarter in 2005 and up slightly over the fourth quarter of 2005. Natural gas prices through the first quarter of 2006 were 38 percent higher than the same period in 2005, but lower than the fourth quarter of 2005.

“We continue to be pleased with the results of our east Texas Cotton Valley program and we are pursuing additional acreage in this play type. Our Appalachian coalbed methane (CBM) and Mississippi drilling programs are on track. In south Louisiana and south Texas, various high potential wells are being drilled and evaluated. We have added to our acreage in the Williston basin with the purchase of an additional 23,000 acre position, which we will explore with a partner.

“We continue to seek non-conventional, resource plays such as CBM and shale to expand our prospect inventory and take advantage of our in-house expertise.

“PVR reported a record quarter due to higher coal production, higher coal prices and the inclusion of our natural gas midstream segment. The 2006 prospects for coal are bright and processing margins in our midstream business are also very strong. We are very pleased with the performance of our 2005 coal and natural gas acquisitions and anticipate additional asset purchases in 2006.”

Oil and Gas Segment Review

See the Company’s April 27, 2006, news release for a more detailed discussion of first quarter 2006 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas segment. Drilling results have been determined for two wells which were being drilled at the time of that news release. The Cotton Land Corp. #1 well, on the Bayou Postillion prospect in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, is an apparent discovery and is currently being completed by the operator, Brigham Exploration (NASDAQ: BEXP), with production expected to commence in the third quarter of 2006. Penn Virginia generated the Bayou Postillion prospect and has a 43.35 percent working interest before casing point and the 41.18 percent working interest after casing point. The Company also determined that the Borah et al #1 well testing the Company’s Fishers Ridge prospect St. Martin Parish, Louisiana is a dry hole, resulting in a first quarter 2006 write-off to exploration expense of approximately $2.4 million.

The Board of Directors has authorized an increase in the Company’s 2006 oil and gas capital expenditures budget to $235 million, a 13 percent increase from the original $208 million budget. The increase is primarily to support drilling additional wells, to drill deeper objectives in the Company’s Cotton Valley play in east Texas, and to expand its leasehold position in the Cotton Valley play and in the Williston basin, offset in part by deferred exploratory drilling and pipeline facilities spending in south Louisiana and Appalachia.

Oil and gas operating income for the first quarter of 2006 was $33.7 million, compared to $15.7 million reported for the same quarter of 2005. Total oil and gas revenues increased by 58 percent to $65.7 million from $41.7 million in the first quarter of 2005. Higher prices for natural gas accounted for approximately 76 percent of the revenues increase. The average realized sales price for natural gas in the first quarter of 2006, which represented approximately 93 percent of the Company’s production for the quarter, was $8.92 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), an increase of 38 percent from $6.47 per Mcf realized in the first quarter of 2005. A 14 percent increase in natural gas production, from 5.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in the first quarter of 2005 to 6.7 Bcf in the first quarter of 2006, accounted for the remaining 24 percent of the revenue increase.

Total oil and gas segment expenses increased 23 percent to $32.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $26.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to the following:

• Operating expenses increased to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to additional leased compression at fields with increased production, downhole maintenance charges associated with horizontal CBM wells in Appalachia and Selma Chalk wells in Mississippi, increased surface repair costs and increased gathering fees related to horizontal CBM and Cotton Valley wells.

• Taxes other than income increased to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to higher severance taxes as a result of increased production and higher gas prices.

• General and administrative expenses increased to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to increased payroll costs.

• DD&A expense increased to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was the result of the 14 percent quarter-to-quarter production increase and higher average depletion rates. The DD&A rate increased to $1.73 per Mcfe produced in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.66 per Mcfe

produced in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to a greater percentage of production coming from relatively higher cost horizontal CBM and Cotton Valley wells and general price inflation for equipment, services and tubulars used for drilling and development.

Coal Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. – NYSE: PVR)

First quarter 2006 operating income in the coal segment was a record $17.1 million, or 39 percent higher than the $12.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2005. Revenues increased to $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2006, a 28 percent increase over the $19.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was mainly a result of increased coal royalty revenues, which increased to $22.4 million in the first quarter of 2006, a 24 percent increase over $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. Higher coal prices were the primary reason for increased average royalty per ton, up eight percent to $2.90 in the first quarter of 2006 from $2.69 in the first quarter of 2005. Coal production from PVR properties increased to 7.7 million tons in the first quarter of 2006 from 6.7 million tons in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to production from properties acquired in 2005 in the western Kentucky portion of the Illinois Basin as well as increased production on PVR’s property in New Mexico. Other revenues increased to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to fees earned for the management of certain coal properties and additional coal transportation-related fees and oil and gas royalty revenues resulting from 2005 acquisitions.

Expenses increased to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2005, due primarily to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) resulting from higher coal production.

Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. – NYSE: PVR)

First quarter 2006 operating income in the natural gas midstream segment acquired in March 2005 from Cantera Gas Resources, LLC (the “Cantera Acquisition”) was $5.8 million before a $4.6 million non-cash charge to cost of gas purchased to reserve for amounts related to balances assumed as part of the Cantera Acquisition for which collection is still being pursued by PVR. Operating income after the non-cash charge was $1.2 million. Inlet volumes at the midstream segment’s gas processing plants and gathering systems were approximately 12.1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) or approximately 134 million cubic feet per day for the first quarter of 2006.

Gross processing margin for the first quarter of 2006, consisting of midstream revenues minus the cost of gas purchased, was $15.1 million or $1.25 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of inlet gas before the non-cash charge to cost of gas purchased ($10.5 million or $0.87 per Mcf after the non-cash charge). Expenses other than cost of gas purchased were $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2006.

Capital Resources and Impact of Derivatives

As of March 31, 2006, Penn Virginia had borrowed $67 million under its revolving credit facility. PVR’s outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2006, were $251.7 million, including $9.8 million of senior unsecured notes classified as current portion of long-term debt. Primarily due to increased PVR borrowings and loan placement fees, interest expense increased from $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2006.

Net income for the first quarter of 2006 included a $0.2 million net derivative loss, which is the net of a $5.9 million gain on oil and gas segment derivatives and a $6.1 million loss on natural gas midstream segment derivatives. The derivative losses primarily resulted from mark-to-market adjustments on certain derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	65,695		$	30,851

Changes in operating assets and liabilities		(854	)		12,276

Capital expenditures (see Note 2 below)	$	54,956		$	249,878

Note 1 - Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Management believes that operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities, service debt and pay dividends. This measure 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. 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, or as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income.

Note 2 - Capital expenditures represents cash additions to property and equipment, plus cash paid for acquisitions, plus seismic expenditures, delay rentals and other expenditures, change in accrued capital expenditures and non-cash well accruals, minus capitalized interest. Management believes capital expenditures provide useful information regarding the Company’s capital program as a supplement to cash additions to property and equipment.
