Fifth Straight Quarter of Adjusted EBITDAX at or Above $60 Million
Oil / Liquids Represented 52 Percent of Production and 84 Percent of
Product Revenues During the Quarter
34 Percent Increase in Oil Production over the Prior Year Quarter
Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) today reported results for the
three months ended September 30, 2012, provided updates of operations
and full-year 2012 guidance and provided preliminary guidance for 2013.
Third Quarter 2012 Highlights
Third quarter 2012 results compared to the third quarter of 2011 were as
follows:
Oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) production of 776 thousand barrels
of oil (MBO), or 52 ?percent of total equivalent production, an
increase of 19 ?percent compared to 649 MBO, or 33 ?percent of total
equivalent production
Oil production of 573 MBO, an increase of 34 percent compared to 427
MBO
Oil and NGL revenues of $63.7 million, or 84 percent of product
revenues, an increase of 33 ?percent compared to $47.8 ?million, or 58
percent of product revenues
Product revenues from the sale of natural gas, crude oil and NGLs of
$75.6 million, or $8.37 ?per thousand cubic feet of natural gas
equivalent (Mcfe), a decrease of eight percent compared to
$82.0 ?million, or $6.86 per Mcfe (22 percent increase in per unit
revenues) due to lower gas prices and divestitures of natural gas
properties
Gross operating margin, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting
principles) measure defined as total product revenues less total
direct operating expenses, of $5.68 per Mcfe, an increase of 20
percent compared to $4.72 per Mcfe
Adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure, of $61.2 million, a decrease of
eight percent compared to $66.3 million due to lower gas prices and
production, lower NGL prices and the receipt of $2.9 million in the
prior year period related to the termination of an interest rate swap,
partially offset by higher oil prices and production
Operating loss of $24.5 ?million, including $17.3 million of charges
related to firm transportation commitments in Appalachia, compared to
a loss of $9.0 million
Net loss of $32.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to a
loss of $6.7 ?million, or $0.15 per diluted share
Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the effects of
changes in derivatives fair value, impairments, restructuring costs
and other gains or losses that affect comparability to the prior year
period, of $7.3 ?million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a
loss of $6.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share
Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these
non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP-based measures appear later in this
release.
Recent Eagle Ford operational highlights are as follows:
We have completed eight (6.7 net) Eagle Ford Shale wells and acquired
one (1.0 net) Eagle Ford Shale well since early August. This brings
the total number of on-line wells to 59 ?(49.1 ?net), with one (0.9 net)
well being completed and the 61st through 63rd
wells being drilled
The average peak gross production rate per well for the 49 wells
we completed with full-length laterals was 986 ?barrels of oil
equivalent (BOE) per day (BOEPD)
The initial 30-day average gross production rate for the 45 of
these 49 wells with a 30-day production history was 656 ?BOEPD
Eagle Ford Shale oil production will begin to increase late in
2012 with the recent addition of a third drilling rig
Our Eagle Ford Shale net production was approximately 6,300 BOEPD
during the third quarter of 2012, with oil comprising approximately
84 ?percent, NGLs approximately nine percent and natural gas
approximately seven ?percent
The results of seven wells drilled and completed to date in Lavaca
County continue to meet our expectations with an average initial
production of 829 BOEPD and significant back pressures, as well as
30-day average rates for five of these wells of 678 BOEPD, which
exceeds our 30-day average in Gonzales County
As previously disclosed, we have increased our Eagle Ford Shale
acreage position in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas to
approximately 40,000 gross (30,000 net) acres with up to approximately
285 remaining drilling locations
Management Comment
H. Baird Whitehead, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, 'Our
third quarter results met our expectations, with Adjusted EBITDAX at or
above $60 million for the fifth consecutive quarter. We believe our cash
operating margin per unit of production is among the best of our small
cap peers. We have had excellent well results in the Eagle Ford Shale
and are pleased with our recent Eagle Ford Shale acreage additions and
increases to our drilling inventory. The recent addition of the third
rig in the Eagle Ford Shale play will allow us to resume sequential
crude oil as well as overall production growth, on a pro forma basis, as
we enter 2013. Recent acreage additions and derisking of our Lavaca
County, Texas acreage now provide a greater than six-year inventory of
drilling locations for a three-rig program.
'Since July 31st, we have sold our Appalachian assets,
completed concurrent offerings of $161 million of preferred and common
equity and received a $32 million federal income tax refund,
significantly improving the strength of our balance sheet and financial
liquidity. As a result, we are well positioned to fund our 2013 Eagle
Ford Shale drilling program, on which we will continue to be focused.?
Third Quarter 2012 Financial and Operational Results
Pricing
Our third quarter 2012 realized oil price of $99.45 per barrel was 14
percent higher than the $87.03 ?per barrel price in the prior year
quarter. Our third quarter 2012 realized NGL price of $32.94 per barrel
was 31 ?percent lower than the $48.00 ?per barrel price in the prior year
quarter. Our third quarter 2012 realized natural gas price of $2.72 per
thousand cubic feet (Mcf) was 36 percent lower than the $4.24 per Mcf
price in the prior year quarter. Adjusting for oil and gas hedges, our
third quarter 2012 effective oil price was $107.53 ?per barrel, and our
effective natural gas price was $3.77 ?per Mcf, or increases of $8.08 per
barrel and $1.05 per Mcf over the realized prices.
Overview of Financial Results
The operating loss in the third quarter of 2012 was $24.5 million,
compared to the $9.0 ?million loss in the prior year quarter. The
increase in loss of $15.5 million was due primarily to a $17.3 million
increase in charges during the third quarter of 2012 related to firm
transportation commitments for divested Appalachian assets and a $5.7
million decrease in total revenues, partially offset by a $7.5 ?million
decrease in other operating expenses. Oil and NGL revenues were
$63.7 ?million in the third quarter of 2012, 33 ?percent higher than the
$47.8 ?million in the prior year quarter. Oil and NGL revenues were
84 ?percent of product revenues in the third quarter of 2012, compared to
58 percent in the prior year quarter.
Production
As shown in the table below, production in the third quarter of 2012 was
9.0 Bcfe, or 98.1 ?MMcfe per day, a 24 ?percent decrease compared to 11.9
Bcfe, or 129.9 MMcfe per day, in the prior year quarter. Excluding
production from the Appalachian assets sold in July 2012 and the Arkoma
Basin assets sold in August 2011, production in the third quarter of
2012 was 8.3 Bcfe, or 90.5 MMcfe per day, and the production in the
prior year quarter was 9.2 ?Bcfe, or 100.0 MMcfe per day. The 0.9 Bcfe,
or nine percent, decrease in pro forma production was the result of a
1.6 ?Bcfe, or 31 percent, decrease in natural gas production due to
reduced natural gas drilling since mid-2010, partially offset by a 127
MBO (0.8 ?Bcfe), or 20 percent, increase in oil and NGL production due
primarily to drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale since early 2011. As a
percentage of total equivalent production, oil and NGL volumes were
52 ?percent in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 33 ?percent in the
prior year quarter. Oil production increased 34 percent from 427 ?MBO in
the prior year quarter to 573 MBO in the third quarter of 2012.

Operating Expenses
Third quarter 2012 total direct operating expenses decreased $1.3
million, or approximately five ?percent, to $24.3 ?million, or $2.69 ?per
Mcfe produced, compared to $25.6 million, or $2.14 per Mcfe produced, in
the prior year quarter.
Lease operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million, or 27 percent, to
$6.2 million, or $0.69 ?per Mcfe produced, from $8.5 million, or $0.71
per Mcfe produced, due primarily to lower repair and maintenance,
compression and water disposal expenses, as well as reduced expenses
attributable to the sale of our Appalachian properties in July 2012
and our Arkoma Basin properties in August 2011. These cost decreases
were partially offset by higher chemical treatment and environmental
compliance costs attributable to our expanded oil drilling program.
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses increased by
approximately $0.1 million, or six percent, to $3.1 ?million, or $0.35
per Mcfe produced, from $3.0 million, or $0.25 per Mcfe produced, due
primarily to higher processing costs associated with NGLs in the 2012
period.
Production and ad valorem taxes increased $1.2 million, or 35 percent,
to $4.6 ?million, or 6.1 percent of total product revenues, from
$3.4 ?million, or 4.1 percent of total product revenues, because we
reported a property tax recovery of $1.2 million attributable to wells
in West Virginia during the 2011 period.
General and administrative (G&A) expense, excluding share-based
compensation, decreased by approximately $0.4 ?million, or
four ?percent, to $10.4 ?million, or $1.15 per Mcfe produced, from $10.8
million, or $0.91 per Mcfe produced. Excluding restructuring costs in
the third quarters of both 2012 and 2011 related to the Appalachian
and Arkoma asset sales, G&A expense, excluding share-based
compensation, decreased by approximately $0.4 ?million, or four
percent, to $8.9 ?million, or $0.99 per Mcfe produced, from $9.3
million, or $0.78 per Mcfe produced. This decrease was due primarily
to lower employee headcount and lower support costs following
restructuring actions taken during 2011 and 2012, with the unit cost
increasing due to lower gas equivalent production volumes.
Exploration expense decreased $10.0 million, or 52 percent, to
$9.3 ?million in the third quarter of 2012 from $19.3 ?million in the
prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to a $2.7 ?million
decrease in unproved property amortization, a $2.8 million decrease in
geological and geophysical costs and a 2011 charge of $4.8 million for a
contract termination.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense increased by
$4.0 million, or nine percent, to $49.3 ?million, or $5.47 per Mcfe
produced, in the third quarter of 2012 from $45.3 million, or $3.80 per
Mcfe produced, in the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher DD&A
costs attributable to our Eagle Ford Shale oil wells and reserve
revisions associated with our gas assets.
Capital Expenditures
During the third quarter of 2012, capital expenditures were
approximately $85 million, compared to $114 ?million in the prior year
quarter, consisting of:
$73 million for drilling and completion activities
$5 million for pipeline, gathering, facilities and seismic
$6 million for leasehold acquisitions and other
Comparison of Third Quarter of 2012 to Second Quarter of 2012
As shown in the table above, production in the third quarter of 2012 of
approximately 9.0 Bcfe, or 98.1 MMcfe per day, was 1.7 ?Bcfe, or 19.0
MMcfe per day, less than in the second quarter of 2012 due primarily to
a 1.5 Bcfe decline in natural gas production as a result of the
Appalachian sale and natural declines, as well as lower NGL production
in the Mid-Continent associated with ethane rejection and reduced
natural gas production. Crude oil production was essentially flat on a
sequential basis as a result of the reduction in the rig count in the
Eagle Ford Shale from three rigs to two rigs earlier in the year. We
expect crude oil production to decrease slightly for the fourth quarter,
after which we expect oil production to begin increasing in the first
quarter of 2013 due to contributions associated with the third rig.
During the third quarter of 2012, total product revenues were flat at
approximately $76 million compared to the prior quarter as the decline
in total production was offset by higher realized oil and gas prices.
Due to flat sequential direct operating expenses of approximately $24
million in both quarters, increased cash settlements of derivatives in
the third quarter and despite the sale of Appalachia at the end of July,
third quarter Adjusted EBITDAX of approximately $61 ?million was slightly
higher than the approximately $60 million in the prior quarter.
Operational Update
Eagle Ford Shale
During the third quarter of 2012, we drilled six (5.0 net) operated
wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, all of which were successful. Since early
August, we have completed eight (6.7 net) Eagle Ford Shale wells and
acquired one (1.0 net) Eagle Ford Shale well, bringing the total to 59
(49.1 net) producing wells, with one (0.9 net) well being completed and
the 61st through 63rd wells being drilled. The
average peak gross production rate per well for the 49 wells we
completed with full-length laterals was 986 ?BOEPD. The initial 30-day
average gross production rate for 45 of these 49 wells with a 30-day
production history was 656 ?BOEPD. Our Eagle Ford Shale production was
approximately 6,300 net BOEPD during the third quarter of 2012, with oil
comprising approximately 84 ?percent, NGLs approximately nine percent and
natural gas approximately seven percent.
Progress continues in reducing our drilling and completion costs. By
sourcing our guar and proppant directly, we have stabilized our drilling
and completion costs at $7.0 to $8.0 million per well in Gonzales County
and, going forward, $8.5 to $9.5 million per well in Lavaca County, both
depending on lateral length. We are also using only 100 percent
high-strength white sand for proppant in Gonzales County and recently
initiated the use of a mix of ceramic and high-strength white sand in
Lavaca County.
Our full-year 2012 guidance anticipates the drilling of 33 ?(26.3 ?net)
wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, including the wells drilled during the
first nine months of 2012. As previously disclosed, we have increased
our Eagle Ford Shale acreage position to approximately 40,000 gross
(30,000 net) acres with a drilling inventory of up to approximately 285
locations. Efforts continue to expand our Eagle Ford Shale position
through additional leasing and selective acquisitions.

Mid-Continent
During the third quarter of 2012, we drilled four (1.1 net) non-operated
wells in the Granite Wash; one (0.5 net) well was successful, with final
results not yet established on three (0.6 net) wells. We experienced
operational problems while drilling our first horizontal Viola Lime well
in Jefferson County, Oklahoma and, as a result, shortened the well′s
planned lateral length by approximately 3,000 feet. We concluded that
the drilled lateral length of approximately 1,100 feet was sufficient to
test the concept of the prospect and we stimulated the shortened lateral
with a seven-stage acid frac. The production rate is less than 10 BOPD,
on pump, which is much less than anticipated. The prospect is being
re-evaluated with the possibility of drilling an additional well in 2013
or attempting a recompletion in an up-hole interval in the existing
well. We have an acreage position of approximately 9,600 net acres in
this play.
Full-Year 2012 Guidance
Full-year 2012 guidance highlights are as follows:
Full-year 2012 production of approximately 38 to 39 Bcfe (7.9 to 8.3
Bcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012), compared to previous guidance of
37 to 40 ?Bcfe
Crude oil and NGLs are expected to comprise approximately
48 ?percent of total production during 2012, compared to previous
guidance of approximately 47 percent (approximately 54 percent
during the fourth quarter of 2012)
Full-year 2012 product revenues are expected to be approximately $301
to $307 million ($66 to $73 million in the fourth quarter of 2012),
compared to previous guidance of $284 to $303 million, excluding the
impact of our hedges
Crude oil and NGL product revenues are expected to be
approximately 84 percent of total product revenues, unchanged from
previous guidance
Full-year 2012 settlements of current commodity hedges are
expected to result in cash receipts of approximately $30 ?million,
$24 million of which was received during the first nine months of
2012
Full-year 2012 Adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure, is expected to be
$235 to $245 million ($50 to $60 million in the fourth quarter of
2012), compared to previous guidance of $225 to $245 million
Full-year 2012 capital expenditures are expected to be $338 to
$350 ?million ($71 to $83 million in the fourth quarter of 2012),
compared to $300 to $325 ?million of previous guidance, due to
increased working interests in recent Lavaca County Eagle Ford Shale
wells as a result of our partner going non-consent, as well as
announced acreage additions in the Eagle Ford Shale during the third
quarter of 2012
Approximately 90 percent of 2012 capital expenditures are expected
to be allocated to the Eagle Ford Shale, approximately six percent
to the Mid-Continent and four percent to other areas
Please see the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance
estimates for full-year 2012. These estimates are meant to provide
guidance only and are subject to revision as our operating environment
changes.
Preliminary Full-Year 2013 Guidance
As a result of recent equity offerings, the sale of our Appalachian
assets and the receipt of a federal income tax refund, we expect to have
over $300 ?million of available liquidity in the form of cash and
equivalents and revolver availability as we enter 2013. Preliminarily,
we estimate 2013 capital expenditures will range between $310 and $345
million, compared to the mid-point of 2012 capital expenditures guidance
of $343 million. This range is contingent on our partner in Lavaca
County participating in applicable Lavaca County wells that we plan to
drill. During 2013, approximately 85 ?percent of our capital expenditures
will be allocated to activity in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties.
Preliminarily, full-year 2013 production is estimated to be
approximately 34 to 37 Bcfe, compared to the mid-point of 2012
production guidance, pro forma for the sale of our Appalachian assets,
of approximately 34 Bcfe. We estimate that 2013 oil and NGL production
will range between 55 and 65 percent of total production. Full year
crude oil production is expected to be approximately 25 percent higher
in 2013 than the midpoint of 2012 production guidance, while fourth
quarter 2013 oil production is expected to be approximately 40 percent
higher than the midpoint of fourth quarter 2012 oil production guidance.
Our expected cash flows in 2013, along with available liquidity as we
enter 2013, are expected to be more than sufficient to fund 2013 capital
expenditures.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2012, we had total debt with a carrying value of
approximately $676 million ($682 million aggregate principal amount),
consisting of $294 million of 10.375 percent senior unsecured notes due
2016 ($300 million principal amount), $300 million principal amount of
7.25 ?percent senior unsecured notes due 2019, approximately $5 ?million
principal amount of 4.5 ?percent convertible senior subordinated notes
due in November 2012 (classified as a current liability) and $77 million
of borrowings under our revolving credit facility (Revolver). Our
indebtedness at September 30, 2012 was approximately 46 ?percent of book
capitalization and 2.7 times the latest twelve months′ Adjusted EBITDAX
of $248 ?million. As a result of the $161 million issuance of preferred
and common equity in October 2012, pro forma net debt at September 30,
2012 was approximately $516 million and net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX was
approximately 2.1 ?times. Currently, we have no amounts borrowed under
the Revolver, approximately $298 million of availability under the
Revolver and approximately $50 million of cash on hand. We have no
material debt maturities until 2016.
Explanation of Non-GAAP Gross Operating Margin per Mcfe
Gross operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure under Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations which represents total product
revenues less total direct operating expenses. Gross operating margin
per Mcfe is equal to gross operating margin divided by total natural
gas, crude oil and NGL production. Gross operating margin is not
adjusted for the impact of hedges. We believe that gross operating
margin per Mcfe is an important measure that can be used by security
analysts and investors to evaluate our operating margin per unit of
production and to compare it to other oil and gas companies, as well as
for comparisons to other time periods.

(a) Net loss, as adjusted, represents the net loss adjusted to exclude
the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives,
restructuring costs, and net 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. Net loss, 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 loss.
(b) Adjusted EBITDAX represents net loss 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, and net 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 loss. Adjusted EBITDAX represents
EBITDAX as defined in our revolving credit facility.

(a) Assumes average benchmark prices of $90 per barrel for crude oil,
$31.50 per barrel for NGLs and $3.51 per MMBtu for natural gas during
the fourth quarter of 2012, prior to any premium or discount for
quality, basin differentials, the impact of hedges and other adjustments.
(b) 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.
(c) Seismic expenditures are also reported as a component of exploration
expense and as a component of net cash provided by operating activities.

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 fourth quarter of 2012 would increase or
decrease by approximately $2.5 million. In addition, we estimate that
for every $10.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price,
operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 would increase or
decrease by approximately $5.4 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.
