PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS AND
PROVIDES 2008 GUIDANCE UPDATE
RADNOR, PA (BusinessWire) May 7, 2008 –Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and provided an update of full-year 2008 guidance.
First Quarter Highlights and Guidance Update
First quarter 2008 highlights and results, with comparisons to first quarter 2007 results, included the following:
| • | | Oil and gas production of 10.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe), or 115.6 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day, a 21 percent increase as compared to 8.7 Bcfe, or 97.0 MMcfe per day; |
| • | | Operating income of $60.1 million, as compared to $38.5 million; |
| • | | Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure, of $84.6 million as compared to $69.3 million; |
| • | | Net income of $3.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as compared to $4.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share; and |
| • | | Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the effects of a non-cash change in derivatives fair value, of $20.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, as compared to $16.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. |
Full-year 2008 guidance updates are as follows:
| • | | Re-affirmed full-year 2008 production guidance, with estimated full-year production of between 49.2 and 51.7 Bcfe, or between 134.4 and 141.3 MMcfe per day; |
| • | | Re-affirmed full-year 2008 cash operating expense guidance of between $2.10 and $2.30 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Mcfe) produced; and |
| • | | Increased 2008 oil and gas capital expenditures guidance from $475.0 million to a range of between $490.0 and $510.0 million. |
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures appears in the financial tables later in this release.
In the first quarter of 2008, operating income was $60.1 million, which was $21.6 million, or 56 percent, higher than the first quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to 61 percent higher operating income in the oil and gas segment and 207 percent higher operating income in the natural gas midstream (PVR Midstream) segment, offset in part by two percent lower segment operating income from the coal and natural resource management (PVR Coal & NRM) segment and higher corporate general and administrative (G&A) expense.
Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2008 increased $15.3 million, or 22 percent, as compared to the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to the increase in operating income and higher non-cash depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) expense included in operating income, partially offset by an increase in cash paid to settle derivatives and higher interest expense.
The 26 percent increase in adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the increase in operating income, partially offset by the increase in cash paid to settle derivatives and the increase in interest expense.
The 11 percent decrease in net income in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 was primarily due to increases in derivatives expense, resulting mainly from changes in the valuation of unrealized derivative positions, higher minority interest and higher interest expense, which more than offset the higher operating income.
Management Comment
A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer of PVA, said, “We are pleased with the performance of our oil and gas operations during the first quarter of 2008, which delivered a 21 percent production increase over the prior year quarter. However, daily production was flat from the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to timing issues which impacted first quarter production volumes in East Texas, including the delayed startup of the processing plant, operated by Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR), and the transition to 20-acre spaced development. These delays are short-term in nature and, given the expected higher levels of drilling activity during the remaining quarters of 2008, we have re-affirmed our expected 2008 production growth of 21 to 27 percent over 2007 levels.
“Looking forward, management is enthusiastic about our prospects and positioning. We have a strong acreage position in the Lower Bossier / Haynesville Shale, a viable presence in the Woodford, Lower Huron and Bakken Shales, and are establishing a position in the Marcellus Shale. When combined with our emerging 20-acre spaced development program in the Cotton Valley, our horizontal drilling initiatives in the Selma Chalk and the Granite Wash and our more traditional activities in horizontal coalbed methane and the Gulf Coast, we believe PVA has an impressive portfolio of growth opportunities. Due to these new opportunities for higher levels of drilling activity along with expected leasehold acquisitions and facility improvements, we have increased our oil and gas capital expenditures guidance from $475.0 million of budgeted spending to a range of between $490.0 and $510.0 million.
“We expect growth in PVR’s midstream and coal and natural resource management segments during 2008, as gas processing capacity has recently increased by 87 percent and volumes are building at two new processing plants in Texas, and coal production by PVR’s lessees is expected to increase during the remainder of the year. As is the case with PVA, PVR continues to evaluate acquisitions and other expansion opportunities in both segments to supplement growth from its existing operations.
“We own 82 percent of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG), the owner of the general partner and largest limited partner of PVR. PVG currently provides approximately $44 million of annualized distributions to PVA – approximately 31 percent higher than in the prior year quarter – which, together with cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, help fund our oil and gas capital expenditures.
“We look forward to continued growth in all operating segments in 2008 and believe that we have the proper strategies in place at each business segment and the financial strength to achieve that growth.”
Oil and Gas Segment Review
First quarter 2008 oil and gas production grew 21 percent to 10.5 Bcfe from 8.7 Bcfe in the first quarter of 2007. See PVA’s separate operational update news release dated April 30, 2008 for a more detailed discussion of first quarter 2008 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas business segment.
Oil and gas operating income for the first quarter of 2008 was $36.4 million, or 61 percent higher than the
$22.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Total oil and gas revenues increased by 49 percent from $62.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 to $92.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the production increase, as well as an 18 percent increase in the realized natural gas price and an 80 percent increase in the realized oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and condensate price.
In the first quarter of 2008, total oil and gas segment expenses increased by $16.5 million, or 42 percent, to $55.9 million, or $5.32 per Mcfe produced, from $39.5 million, or $4.51 per Mcfe produced, in the first quarter of 2007, as discussed below:
| • | | Cash operating expenses increased by $8.1 million, or 49 percent, to $24.7 million, or $2.34 per Mcfe produced, in the first quarter of 2008 from $16.5 million, or $1.90 per Mcfe produced, in the first quarter of 2007. Unit cash operating expenses were slightly lower than the $2.38 per Mcfe produced in the fourth quarter of 2007. The overall increase in cash operating expenses was due in part to the production increase. Increases in cash operating expenses per unit of production are discussed below: |
| • | | Lease operating expense increased to $1.35 per Mcfe from $1.02 per Mcfe, primarily due to higher water disposal costs in East Texas associated with increased production volumes, additional compression rentals, increased downhole maintenance, higher chemical costs associated with colder temperatures in March and increased third-party gathering charges pending hook up to PVR’s gas processing plant in East Texas in the second quarter of 2008; |
| • | | Taxes other than income increased to $0.56 per Mcfe from $0.48 per Mcfe, primarily due to higher commodity prices in the first quarter of 2008 relative to the prior year quarter; and |
| • | | G&A expense increased to $0.44 per Mcfe from $0.39 per Mcfe, primarily due to additional personnel as a result of expanding operations throughout the segment. |
| • | | Exploration expense remained relatively constant at $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter. |
| • | | DD&A expense increased by $8.8 million, or 49 percent, to $26.6 million, or $2.53 per Mcfe, in the first quarter of 2008 from $17.8 million, or $2.04 per Mcfe in the prior year quarter. The overall increase in DD&A expense was due in part to the production increase. In addition, the higher depletion rate per unit of production was primarily due to a shift in the production mix to areas with relatively high depletion rates, including the Gulf Coast, East Texas, Appalachia and the Mid-Continent. |
Natural Gas Midstream and Coal & NRM Segment Review (PVR and PVG)
Operating income for PVR Midstream increased 207 percent to $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $4.4 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income for PVR Coal & NRM decreased two percent to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $17.9 million in the prior year quarter. Financial and operational results and full-year 2008 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 May 7, 2008 (please visit PVR’s website,www.pvresource.com under “For Investors,” for a copy of the release).
PVA owns the general partner of PVG and is PVG’s largest unitholder and reports its financial results on a consolidated basis with the financial results of PVG. Similarly, PVG owns PVR’s general partner, including the incentive distribution rights, and is PVR’s largest limited partner unitholder, 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 derives its cash flow solely from cash distributions received from PVR.
As previously announced, on May 20, 2008, PVG will pay to unitholders of record as of May 5, 2008 a quarterly cash distribution covering the period of January 1 through March 31, 2008 in the amount of $0.34 per unit, or an annualized rate of $1.36 per unit. This annualized distribution represents a $0.08 per unit, or 6.3 percent, increase over the annualized distribution of $1.28 per unit paid in the prior quarter and a 30.8 percent increase over the annualized distribution of $1.04 per unit for the same quarter of 2007.
As the result of PVG’s distribution increase, PVA will receive a cash distribution of approximately $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 or approximately $43.6 million on an annualized basis.
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. Management believes that this is useful since the oil and gas and corporate segments provide a majority of the cash flow from operations generated by PVA, as compared to distributions PVA receives from PVG and PVR. Management believes 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.
Capital Resources and Impact of Derivatives
As of March 31, 2008, PVA had outstanding borrowings of $406.0 million, including $230.0 million of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2012 and $176.0 of borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The $54.0 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 the first quarter of 2008. PVR’s outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2008 were $413.7 million, including $13.3 million of senior unsecured notes classified as current portion of long-term debt, a slight increase from $411.7 million as of December 31, 2007. Consolidated interest expense increased from $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 to $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase was due higher weighted average levels of outstanding borrowings during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the prior year quarter.
During the first quarter of 2008, derivatives expense was $25.9 million, as compared to expense of $16.7 million in the prior year quarter. Included in the derivatives expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $33.7 million of derivatives expense related to PVA’s oil and gas segment, partially offset by $7.8 million of derivatives income related to PVR Midstream. Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash payments of $9.0 million during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $3.5 million of net cash receipts in the first quarter of 2007. Included in the cash settlement of derivatives for the first quarter of 2008 was $9.5 million of net cash payments related to PVR Midstream, partially offset by $0.5 million of net cash receipts related to PVA’s oil and gas segment.
Based on derivatives currently in place for natural gas production, we have hedged approximately 58 percent of natural gas production for the final three quarters of 2008, based on the midpoint of production guidance, at weighted average collar floors and ceilings of $8.35 and $9.72 per MMBtu. See the Guidance Table included in this release for details of production guidance and derivative positions.
Guidance for 2008
See the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance estimates for full-year 2008. 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.

Net income as adjusted per share, diluted | | $ | 0.50 | | | $ | 0.43 | |
| | | | |
Note 1 | | - | | Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. We believe 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 a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income. |
Note 2 | | - | | Net income as adjusted represents net income excluding any gains or losses on derivatives, adjusted for any cash settlements received (paid) and adjusted for related minority interest and income taxes. We believe “net income as adjusted” provides a useful measure which excludes the impact of mark-to-market accounting. |
Note 3 | | - | | Minority interest for the quarter ended December 31, 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, 2007. |
Note 4 | | - | | The impact of these adjustments on our income tax expense reflects our statutory tax rate of 39%. |

Crude oil three-way collars (1) | | (in barrels) | | (per barrel) |
Second quarter 2008 | | 500 | | $ | 70.00 | | $ | 95.00 | | $ | 108.80 |
Third quarter 2008 | | 500 | | $ | 70.00 | | $ | 95.00 | | $ | 108.80 |
(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 PVA will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that PVA 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. |
We estimate that excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu decrease or increase in natural gas prices, our operating income from oil and gas operations for the last nine months of 2008 would increase or decrease by approximately $20.0 million. This assumes that natural gas production remains constant at forecasted levels. In addition, we also estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil prices, our operating income from oil and gas operations would increase or decrease by approximately $2.0 million. This assumes that crude oil, condensate and other natural gas liquids production remains constant at forecasted levels. These estimated changes in operating income exclude the potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.

| | | | |
Crude oil collar | | (in barrels) | | | | | | (per barrel) |

First quarter 2009 through fourth quarter 2009 | | 1,000 | | | | | $ | 70.00 | | $ | 90.00 | | $ | 119.25 |
| | | | |
c | | - | | We estimate that excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu decrease or increase in natural gas prices from the $7.50 per MMBtu budgeted 2008 benchmark price, natural gas midstream gross processing margin and operating income in 2008 would increase or decrease by approximately $7.2 million. This assumes oil and other liquids prices and inlet volumes remain constant at budgeted levels. In addition, we also estimate that excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the oil prices from the $80.00 per barrel budgeted 2008 benchmark price, natural gas midstream gross processing margin and operating income would increase or decrease by approximately $3.2 million. This assumes natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at budgeted levels. These estimated changes in gross processing margin and operating income exclude the potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions. |
d | | - | | Year-to-date 2008 results and full-year 2008 guidance reflects increased incentive compensation costs in general and administrative expense. |
e | | - | | PVA capitalizes a portion of interest expense incurred to recognize the carrying cost of certain unproved properties as required by GAAP. |
f | | - | | PVA controls the general partner of PVG and owns an 82 percent limited partner interest in PVG. PVG’s operating results are included in PVA’s consolidated financial statements, and minority interest reflects the 18 percent of PVG owned by parties other than PVA. |
g | | - | | Deferred federal and state income taxes are expected to comprise approximately 60% to 70% of PVA’s income tax expense for the full year. |
h | | - | | 2008 amounts received are dependent primarily upon distributions paid by PVG. |
