PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

NEW RECORDS FOR QUARTERLY OPERATING CASH FLOW AND OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION

RADNOR, PA (BusinessWire) October 31, 2007 – Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and provided an update of full-year 2007 guidance.

Third Quarter Highlights

Operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2007, with comparisons to results for the third quarter of 2006, included the following:

 

   

Eighth straight quarterly record for oil and gas production of 11.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe), or 120.7 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day, a 40 percent increase as compared to 7.9 Bcfe, or 86.0 MMcfe per day;

 

   

Record operating cash flow, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure, of $78.9 million as compared to $66.6 million;

 

   

Operating income of $51.9 million, as compared to $44.6 million;

 

   

Net income of $17.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, as compared to $22.9 million, or $0.61 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 $18.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, as compared to $14.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures appears in the financial tables later in this release.

The overall increase in operating income for the quarter over third quarter 2006 resulted from a $9.1 million, or 50 percent, increase in operating income from the oil and gas segment and a $2.9 million, or 26 percent, increase in operating income from the natural gas midstream segment. The increase in oil and gas segment operating income was due primarily to an increase in oil and gas revenues resulting from a 40 percent oil and gas production increase and from a gain on the sale of working interests. These increases in operating income were partially offset by a $1.0 million, or six percent, decrease in operating income from the coal and natural resource management segment, an increase in operating expenses related to the production increase, a nine percent decrease in natural gas prices and a $3.7 million increase in corporate expenses, resulting primarily from an increase in staffing and benefits, general and administrative (G&A) expense for PVG (defined below) that were not incurred in the prior year quarter and the granting of stock-based compensation in 2007.

The decrease in net income was primarily due to an unfavorable change in the valuation of unrealized derivative positions and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by the increase in operating income and a decrease in minority interest and income tax expense.

 


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 which delivered a 40 percent production increase over the prior year quarter and a 10 percent sequential production increase over the prior quarter. As a result of our record oil and natural gas production in the first nine months of 2007, we have increased our full-year 2007 oil and gas production guidance.

“Our results benefited from accelerated drilling activity and the strategic acquisitions we completed during the year, with year-over-year production increases in quarterly production in all five of our core operating areas. The production increases were the highest in the Mid-Continent, Cotton Valley and the Selma Chalk, which were up 130 percent, 77 percent and 29 percent, and we also began to benefit from restored Appalachian production, which increased four percent over the prior year quarter and seven percent over the second quarter of 2007.

“In the Cotton Valley, where production increased 27 percent from the prior quarter, we continue to make progress in hooking up recently completed wells and have added a sixth drilling rig to drill mainly 100 percent working interest wells in our new Woodlawn Field acreage. We anticipate continued growth in the Cotton Valley and expect it to become our leading production area during 2008. In Mississippi, we have recently shifted from drilling solely vertical Selma Chalk wells, which have been attractive, to a combination of both vertical and horizontal drilling.

“In the Mid-Continent, we continue our Hartshorne horizontal coalbed methane (HCBM) drilling efforts, which have delivered solid growth, and have recently added acreage, and we continue to explore the Fayetteville Shale and test horizontal Granite Wash wells. In addition, we expect to begin Woodford / Caney shale exploration in 2008. In Appalachia, we are currently utilizing two rigs to drill multi-lateral HCBM wells and expect continued production growth from these efforts. During the third quarter, we reported a 10 percent production decrease in the Gulf Coast from the prior quarter due to the normal declines, including in our recently successful south Louisiana wells. The region continues to exceed our production estimates and we anticipate additional drilling in south Louisiana and south Texas during 2008.

“The natural gas midstream segment (PVR Midstream) for Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) experienced a strong increase in operating income and cash flow in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter. Third quarter 2007 processing margins increased from high levels in the third quarter of 2006 as the fractionation or “frac” spread – which is the difference between the price of natural gas liquids (NGLs) sold and the cost of natural gas purchased on a per MMBtu basis – was at record high levels in our areas of operation and has remained there into the fourth quarter. In PVR’s coal and natural resource management segment (PVR Coal & NRM), production by our lessees remained strong and was highlighted by an increase in Illinois Basin lessee production during the third quarter due to contributions from recent acquisitions in that region. In addition, during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, PVR Coal & NRM completed approximately $124 million in acquisitions of forestlands and oil and gas royalties in Appalachia. The overall market for coal has improved during 2007 as spot prices have increased, primarily due to a reduction in utilities’ coal stockpiles as well as increased exports of Appalachian coal.

“The pretax value of our 82 percent stake in Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG), the owner of the general partner and largest limited partner of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR), has increased by approximately $542 million, or approximately $14.30 per PVA share, since its initial public offering in December 2006. Considering the increased market value of PVG and the approximate $39 million current annualized run rate of distributions that we receive from PVG, we are very pleased with the performance of this investment.

“We look forward to continued growth in the fourth quarter of 2007, 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

Oil and gas production grew 40 percent from 7.9 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2006 to a record 11.1 Bcfe in third quarter of 2007, the eighth straight quarterly record for oil and gas production. See today’s separate operational update news release for a more detailed discussion of third quarter 2007 drilling and production operations for the oil and gas business segment.

Oil and gas operating income for the third quarter of 2007 was $27.2 million, or 50 percent higher as compared to $18.1 million in the third quarter of 2006. Total oil and gas revenues increased by 29 percent from $56.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $72.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the production increase, partially offset by a nine percent decrease in the realized natural gas price. In addition, other revenues increased by $12.0 million primarily due to a $12.3 million gain on the sale in September 2007 of non-operated working interests in oil and gas properties.

Total oil and gas segment expenses increased 51 percent to $58.2 million, or $5.24 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Mcfe) produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $38.8 million, or $4.91 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2006, as discussed below:

 

   

Cash operating expenses, which include operating expense, taxes other than income and G&A expense, increased to $20.8 million, or $1.87 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $12.8 million, or $1.62 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2006 and $18.2 million, or $1.89 per Mcfe produced, in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was due primarily to the production increase and the increases in taxes other than income and operating expense per unit of production as discussed below:

 

  Operating expense increased to $12.2 million, or $1.10 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $7.9 million, or $1.00 per Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter. In addition to a general increase in oilfield service costs and activity in all operating areas, the increase was due to the production increase and additional expense in a number of operating areas related to workovers, water disposal and other operating activity;

 

  Taxes other than income increased to $4.4 million, or $0.39 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $1.8 million, or $0.22 per Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter. The increase per Mcfe produced was primarily due to a severance tax refund in east Texas and property tax adjustments in West Virginia in the prior year quarter; and

 

  G&A expense increased to $4.1 million, or $0.37 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $3.2 million, or $0.40 per Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter. The increase was due primarily to an increase in staffing and benefits costs related to an expansion of operations across the oil and gas segment as the result of increased drilling activity and acquisitions.

 

   

Exploration expense increased two percent to $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $12.7 million in the prior year quarter. Approximately $3.5 million of expense in the third quarter of 2007 was attributable to a dry hole in south Louisiana (Cotton Land #2, Bayou Postillion).

 

   

Impairment charges increased to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2007 from zero in the prior year quarter. The impairment charges related to changes in reserve estimates for several smaller fields in Louisiana and the Mid-Continent region.

 

   

Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) expense increased to $22.2 million, or $2.00 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2007 from $13.4 million, or $1.69 per Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the production increase and the increase in the average depletion rate related to a greater percentage of production from higher-cost Cotton Valley and HCBM wells.

 


Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment Review (PVR)

Third quarter 2007 operating income for PVR Coal & NRM was $17.7 million, or six percent lower than the $18.8 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues decreased five percent to $28.4 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $29.9 million in the prior year quarter, including an eight percent decrease in coal royalty revenue to $24.4 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $26.6 million in the prior year quarter. Coal production by PVR’s lessees of 8.8 million tons in the third quarter of 2007 was unchanged from the prior year quarter. The mix of production shifted from the prior year quarter, with higher lessee production in the Illinois Basin, the San Juan Basin and northern Appalachia, offset by lower lessee production in central Appalachia.

The decrease in coal royalty revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in lessee production in relatively higher royalty rate central Appalachia, which was mainly due to the movement of a longwall mining operation off of a subleased PVR property during the quarter. This longwall movement is also expected to reduce lessee coal production in central Appalachia in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, PVR expects northern Appalachian production to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2007, as the startup of a new panel in a lessee’s longwall operation has been delayed pending completion of development work. Despite these developments, PVR expects overall lessee production to remain within previously provided guidance for 2007. Primarily due to the combination of increased production in the relatively lower royalty rate Illinois Basin and reduced production in central Appalachia, the average coal royalty per ton decreased nine percent from $3.03 in the third quarter of 2006 to $2.76 in the third quarter of 2007. Net of coal royalties expense, the average coal royalty per ton decreased $0.05, or two percent, from $2.70 in the third quarter of 2006 to $2.65 in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in coal royalty revenue was partially offset by a 29 percent increase in coal services revenue and a 15 percent increase in other revenues, which are expected to increase due to recent acquisitions of forestlands and oil and gas royalties.

Expenses decreased four percent from $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in coal royalties expense as a result of lower production from the subleased property in central Appalachia, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in other operating expense, primarily due to an increase in mine maintenance and core-hole drilling expenses in central Appalachia and the Illinois Basin, a $0.5 million increase in G&A expense, largely related to increased staffing costs, and a $0.3 million increase in DD&A expense, primarily due to the construction and acquisition of coal services facilities.

Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (PVR)

Third quarter 2007 operating income for PVR Midstream increased 26 percent to $14.1 million from $11.1 million in the prior year quarter. System throughput volumes at PVR’s gas processing plants and gathering systems increased eight percent to 17.8 Bcf, or approximately 194 MMcf per day, in the third quarter of 2007 from 16.6 Bcf, or approximately 180 MMcf per day, in the prior year quarter. The increase in system throughput volumes was primarily due to a short-term gathering contract that was entered into and completed during the third quarter of 2007.

The gross midstream processing margin increased 18 percent to $24.2 million, or $1.35 per Mcf, in the third quarter of 2007, from $20.5 million, or $1.24 per Mcf, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted for the cash impact of derivatives, the gross midstream processing margin increased 48 percent to $20.8 million, or $1.16 per Mcf, in the third quarter of 2007, from $14.0 million, or $0.85 per Mcf, in the prior year quarter. The increase in the gross midstream processing margin was primarily the result of a higher frac spread caused by higher NGL sale prices and lower natural gas purchase costs in the third quarter of 2007 relative to the third quarter of 2006, along with the increase in system throughput volumes. Additionally, producer services revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 78 percent, during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Expenses, other than the cost of midstream gas purchased, increased by $1.4 million, or 13 percent, during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in G&A expense, largely due to increased staffing costs, and a $0.5 million increase in DD&A expense, due to acquisitions and gathering system construction.

 


Partnership Distributions and Consolidated Financial Statements

As previously announced, on November 19, 2007, PVG will pay to unitholders of record as of November 5, 2007 a quarterly cash distribution covering the period July 1 through September 30, 2007 in the amount of $0.30 per unit, or an annualized rate of $1.20 per unit. This annualized distribution represents a $0.08 per unit, or seven percent, increase over the annualized distribution of $1.12 per unit paid in the prior quarter.

As the result of PVG’s distribution increase, PVA will receive a cash distribution of approximately $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

PVA is the largest unitholder of PVG 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.

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” section of 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 September 30, 2007, PVA had borrowed $414.5 million under its revolving credit facility as compared to $221.0 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in borrowings was primarily due to higher spending to fund PVA’s oil and gas capital expenditures and acquisitions in the first nine months of 2007. PVR’s outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2007 were $364.2 million, including $12.6 million of senior unsecured notes classified as current portion of long-term debt, an increase from $218.0 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher spending to fund PVR’s coal reserve and forestland acquisitions and natural gas midstream capital expenditures. Consolidated interest expense increased $3.7 million from $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, due primarily to the higher weighted average level of outstanding borrowings during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006.

PVA reported a derivative loss of $4.5 million the third quarter of 2007, as compared to a gain of $17.9 million for the same period of 2006, primarily due to a $17.1 million decrease in the fair value, on a “mark-to-market,” basis of open natural gas midstream hedging positions. Cash settlements of derivatives during the third quarter of 2007 resulted in net cash receipts of $0.6 million, compared to $4.2 million of net cash payments in the prior year period. The increase in net cash receipts was primarily due to $5.3 million of net cash receipts from oil and gas hedging positions, partially offset by net cash payments of $4.7 million from natural gas midstream hedging positions.

See the Guidance Table included in this release for detail of derivative positions as of September 30, 2007.

Guidance for 2007

See the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance estimates for full-year 2007. 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.

(a) The decrease in minority interest and corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity is primarily due to a gain recognized on the sale of PVR’s common units in its initial public offering in 2001 and each subsequent PVR equity issuance to third parties. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, PVA deferred recognition of the gain until all PVR junior securities converted to common units in May 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 76,184     $ 47,161     $ 208,981     $ 197,061  

Adjustments:

        

Changes in operating assets and liabilities

     2,736       19,437       17,242       917  
                                

Operating cash flow (see Note 1 below)

   $ 78,920     $ 66,598     $ 226,223     $ 197,978  
                                

Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income” to Non-GAAP “Net income as adjusted”

        

Net income as reported

   $ 17,114     $ 22,881     $ 45,395     $ 65,206  

Adjustments for derivatives:

     1,597       265       3,500       1,361

Net income as adjusted (see Note 2 below)

   $ 18,670     $ 14,183     $ 57,015     $ 53,637  
                                

Note 1—Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow is presented because PVA believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). PVA 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 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. The Company believes "net income as adjusted" provides a useful measure which excludes the impact of mark-to-market accounting.

c   Based on the derivative positions described above, management estimates that 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 $3 million for the last three months of the year. This assumes oil and other liquids prices and system throughput volumes remain constant at forecasted (guidance) levels. In addition, based on the derivative positions, management estimates that 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 $1 million for the last three months of the year. This assumes natural gas prices and system throughput volumes remain constant at forecasted (guidance) levels.

d  Year-to-date 2007 results and full-year 2007 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

f   PVA controls the general partner of PVA GP Holdings, L.P. (“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  Entered into this leg of the frac spread in October 2007.
