PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

39 Percent Increase in Oil and Gas Revenues and 12 Percent Increase
in Production over Prior Year

Eagle Ford Shale Results Drove 44 Percent Increase in EBITDAX over
Prior Year


Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) today reported financial and
operational results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and
provided an update of full-year 2011 guidance.

Second Quarter 2011 Highlights


Second quarter 2011 results, as compared to second quarter 2010 results,
were as follows:


The operating loss was $59.8 million greater than the prior year
quarter, due primarily to a $71.1  million impairment related to
non-core, primarily Arkoma Basin properties that we recently agreed to
sell and a $9.8 million increase in exploration expense. The net loss
from continuing operations was $50.8 million greater than the prior year
quarter due to the higher operating loss and a pretax $24.2  million loss
on the extinguishment of debt related to the previously announced
refinancing of our 4.5 percent convertible notes due in 2012.


Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these
non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP-based measures appear on page eight
of this release.

Management Comment


H. Baird Whitehead, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, 'Our
second quarter 2011 results demonstrate that we have made significant
progress in transforming PVA from a focus on natural gas to a new focus
on oil and NGLs, which has resulted in higher revenues and cash flows.
In the second quarter of 2011, oil and NGL revenues increased by
156  percent over the prior year quarter and were 31 percent higher than
the first quarter of 2011. In addition, oil and NGL revenues comprised
48 percent of total product revenues in the second quarter of 2011, as
compared to 26 percent in the prior year quarter and 39 percent in the
first quarter of 2011. We remain believers in natural gas over the
long-term, however, and retain our exposure to an eventual recovery in
the price of natural gas.


'The second quarter of 2011 is the first full quarter of contributions
from our oily Eagle Ford Shale properties, which had a significant
impact on our recurring financial results. We are operating three rigs
in the Eagle Ford Shale and are currently drilling our 15th
through 17th wells. We recently completed our 12th
well, and we have two wells waiting on completion. Current production
from the Eagle Ford Shale is approximately 8,000 (5,000 net) barrels of
oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), and we expect to increase production
from this play to approximately 11,000 to 13,000 (7,000 to 8,000  net)
BOEPD by the end of 2011. We recently expanded our position to
approximately 13,900 net acres, which we feel is in the core of the
play, and increased our total location well inventory to up to 142
locations. In addition, we have our midstream facilities connected and
are experiencing no delays in obtaining completion or fracturing
services. In short, our early results in this play have been excellent.
We will continue to review leasing and acquisition opportunities to
expand our inventory of locations.


'We expect oil and NGLs to contribute between 30 and 32 percent of total
2011 equivalent production, as compared to approximately 18 percent of
2010 total equivalent production, and we expect to exit 2011 with
approximately 40 to 45  percent of fourth quarter total equivalent
production from oil and NGLs. As a result of this shift in production
mix towards higher-margin oil and NGLs, and despite the decreased
guidance for natural gas production, we expect second-half 2011
revenues, EBITDAX and other cash flows to increase and for that trend to
continue into 2012.?


Mr. Whitehead concluded, 'As disclosed in our separate news release
today, we entered into a new revolving credit facility which has a more
favorable leverage ratio through its maturity than our current credit
facility. This will help accommodate the expansion of our position in
the Eagle Ford Shale and, potentially, other oily plays. This new
leverage ratio covenant, together with the previously announced sale of
our primarily Arkoma Basin assets, places us in a solid liquidity
position to execute on our capital plans.?

Second Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Results


The $80.7 million operating loss was $59.8 million higher than the
$20.9  million operating loss in the prior year quarter, due primarily to
a $69.9 million increase in impairment expense and a $9.8  million
increase in exploration expense. These expense increases were partially
offset by a $20.7 million, or 39 percent, increase in total product
revenues and a $0.9 million decrease in total direct operating expenses.
Oil and NGL revenues were $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2011,
156 percent higher than the $13.5 million in the prior year quarter and
31 percent higher than the $26.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Oil and NGL revenues were 48 percent of total product revenues in the
second quarter of 2011, as compared to 26 percent in the prior year
quarter and 39 percent in the first quarter of 2011.


As shown in the table below, production in the second quarter of 2011
was approximately 11.7 Bcfe, or 128.6  MMcfe per day, a 12  percent
increase as compared to 10.5 Bcfe, or 115.1 MMcfe per day, in the prior
year quarter and a five percent decrease from 12.2 Bcfe, or 135.2  MMcfe
per day, in the first quarter of 2011. As a percentage of total
equivalent production, oil and NGL volumes were 24  percent in the second
quarter of 2011, as compared to 13 percent in the prior year quarter and
20 percent in the first quarter of 2011.


The year-over-year production increase was due to our new Eagle Ford
Shale wells and contributions from 2010 drilling in the horizontal
Cotton Valley and Haynesville Shale plays. The 111 percent increase in
oil and NGL production as compared to the prior year quarter was due to
drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale and increased NGL volumes from
the Granite Wash. The sequential quarterly decrease in production was
attributable primarily to natural gas production declines, partially
offset by higher oil and NGL volumes in the Eagle Ford Shale. Please see
our separate operational update news release dated August 3, 2011 for a
more detailed discussion of operations.

Our second quarter 2011 realized natural gas price was $4.32 per
thousand cubic feet (Mcf), two percent higher than both the $4.25 per
Mcf price in the second quarter of 2010 and the $4.23 per Mcf price in
the first quarter of 2011. Our second quarter 2011 realized oil price
was $98.45 per barrel, 34 percent higher than the $73.64  per barrel
price in the second quarter of 2010 and 11 percent higher than the
$88.37  per barrel price in the first quarter of 2011. Our second quarter
2011 realized NGL price was $52.04 per barrel, 49  percent higher than
the $34.97  per barrel price in the second quarter of 2010 and 15 percent
higher than the $45.11 per barrel price in the first quarter of 2011.
Adjusting for oil and gas hedges, our second quarter 2011 effective
natural gas price was $4.80 per Mcf and our effective oil price was
$97.87  per barrel, or an increase of $0.48 per Mcf and a decrease of
$0.58 per barrel over the realized prices.


As discussed below, and despite the 12 percent increase in reported oil
and gas production volumes, second quarter 2011 total direct operating
expenses decreased $0.9 million, or approximately three percent, to
$28.8  million, or $2.47  per Mcfe produced, as compared to $29.7 million,
or $2.84 per Mcfe produced, in the second quarter of 2010.


Exploration expense increased $9.8 million to approximately
$19.4  million in the second quarter of 2011 from $9.5  million in the
prior year quarter, due primarily to a $7.5 million increase in unproved
leasehold amortization expense and a $2.1 million increase in dry hole
costs related to a previously disclosed, unsuccessful vertical
exploratory well in the Texas panhandle.


Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense increased by
$0.9 million, or three percent, to $33.0  million, or $2.82 per Mcfe
produced, in the second quarter of 2011 from $32.1 million, or $3.06 per
Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher
production volumes.

Full-Year 2011 Guidance Update


Full-year 2011 guidance highlights are as follows:


Please see the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance
estimates for full-year 2011. These estimates, including capital
expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to
revision as our operating environment changes.

Capital Resources and Liquidity, Interest Expense and Impact of
Derivatives


As of June 30, 2011, we had total debt with a carrying value of $598
million ($605 million aggregate principal amount), consisting of $293
million of 10.375 percent senior unsecured notes due 2016, $300 million
principal amount of 7.25  percent senior unsecured notes due 2019 and
$5  million principal amount of 4.5 percent convertible senior
subordinated notes due 2012. As of June 30, 2011, we had with no
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Net of cash and
equivalents of approximately $31 million, our indebtedness at June 30,
2011 was approximately $567  million, or 39 percent of book
capitalization.


In April 2011, we completed the offering of $300 million of 7.25 percent
senior unsecured notes due 2019. Approximately $241 million of the net
proceeds of $293 million was used to fund a tender offer pursuant to
which we acquired approximately 98  percent of our 4.5 percent
convertible senior subordinated notes. The remaining net proceeds of
approximately $52 million are being used to fund a portion of our
capital expenditures program and for general corporate purposes.


Interest expense increased slightly to $14.1  million in the second
quarter of 2011 from $13.3  million in the second quarter of 2010 due to
higher average levels of debt outstanding, partially offset by lower
effective interest rates.


During the second quarter of 2011, derivatives income was $7.0  million,
as compared to derivatives loss of $0.6 million in the prior year
quarter. Second quarter 2011 cash settlements of derivatives resulted in
net cash receipts of $5.0  million, as compared to $9.1 million of net
cash receipts in the prior year quarter.

Net proceeds from the sale of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (PVG)
units included in investing activities is attributable to the sale
of the final tranche of PVG units, which resulted in the loss of
control and deconsolidation of PVG from our financial statements.
Net proceeds from the sale of PVG units included in financing
activities represents proceeds received from sales of our ownership
interests in PVG while we still maintained control of PVG.

(a)


Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, represents net
income (loss) attributable to PVA adjusted to exclude the effects
of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, impairments,
restructuring costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, gains and
losses on the sale of assets and net income of Penn Virginia
Resource Partners, L.P. (PVR) allocated to unvested PVR restricted
units awarded as equity compensation that are held until vesting.
We believe this presentation is commonly 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. We use this
information for comparative purposes within our industry. Net
income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, is not a measure
of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered
as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income
attributable to PVA.


  

(b)


Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) from continuing
operations before income tax expense or benefit, interest expense,
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, exploration
expense and share-based compensation expense, further adjusted to
exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of
derivatives, restructuring costs, loss on the extinguishment of
debt, and gains and losses on the sale of assets. We believe this
presentation is commonly 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. We use this information for
comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX is not
a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net
income from continuing operations.

We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above,
for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price,
operating income for the remainder of 2011 would increase or decrease by
approximately $15.8 million. In addition, we estimate that for every
$10.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, operating
income for the remainder of 2011 would increase or decrease by
approximately $13.2 million. This assumes that crude oil prices, natural
gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels.
These estimated changes in operating income exclude potential cash
receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.
