Atlas Energy, L.P. Reports Operating and Financial Results for the First Quarter 2013

PHILADELPHIA--()--Atlas Energy, L.P. (NYSE: ATLS) (“Atlas Energy” or “ATLS”) today reported operating and financial results for the first quarter 2013.

  • ATLS declared a cash distribution of $0.31 per limited partner unit for the first quarter 2013, which represents a $0.01 per unit, or 3%, increase over the fourth quarter 2012, and a 24% increase over the prior year first quarter. The first quarter 2013 ATLS distribution will be paid on May 20, 2013 to holders of record as of May 6, 2013. ATLS confirms its distribution guidance of $1.70 to $2.00 for full year 2013.
  • Atlas Energy’s E&P subsidiary, Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP), reached record average net production of 133.0 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents per day (“Mmcfed”) for the first quarter 2013, a 21% increase from the fourth quarter 2012. ARP also recently completed seven horizontal wells in the Marcellus Shale in Lycoming Co., PA yielding aggregate initial flow rate production of approximately 140 Mmcfed, in which ARP owns an approximate 35% interest; ARP expects these wells to be online in early third quarter 2013.
  • Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: APL), Atlas Energy’s midstream subsidiary, recently acquired 100% of the equity interests TEAK Midstream, L.L.C. (“TEAK”) for $1 billion in cash. TEAK’s midstream assets are located in the core of the Eagle Ford Shale. This acquisition will provide APL an immediate entry point into the Eagle Ford with proven assets positioned for further expansion. APL also reported record processing volumes at each of its systems, reaching a total of 1,032.9 Mmcfd and NGL production of over 84,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) for the first quarter 2013.

Edward E. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Energy, stated, “We continue to fulfill our mission of ever-increasing distributions to our unit-holders --- at Atlas Energy itself and at APL and ARP. But no less importantly, our underlying businesses are booming. APL is setting new records in midstream operations, and ARP is vastly expanding gas and liquids production, enjoying the benefits of recent increases in natural gas prices and anticipating substantial expansion of its direct placement syndication business.”

Financial Results

  • On April 25, 2013, ARP increased its quarterly cash distribution to $0.51 per unit for the first quarter 2013, which will be paid on May 15, 2013 to holders of record as of May 6, 2013. ATLS will receive approximately $11.6 million of cash distributions based upon ARP’s first quarter 2013 distribution.
  • On April 24, 2013, APL declared an increased distribution for the first quarter 2013 of $0.59 per unit to holders of record on May 8, 2013, which will be paid on May 15, 2013. ATLS will receive approximately $7.4 million of cash distributions based upon APL’s first quarter 2013 distribution.
  • On a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to limited partners was $12.6 million for the first quarter 2013 compared with $18.5 million for the prior year comparable period. The favorable change in net loss between periods was due primarily to higher gross margin from the expanded operations at ARP and APL, partially offset by an increase in non-cash expenses, including depreciation and non-cash stock compensation.

Recent Events

Atlas Pipeline’s Acquisition of TEAK Midstream

In May 2013, APL acquired 100% of the equity interests in TEAK Midstream L.L.C. (“TEAK”), a privately owned midstream operator, for $1 billion in cash. TEAK is a natural gas gathering and processing company with assets located in the core of the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas. This transaction provides APL with a strong entry point into the Eagle Ford Shale, one of the most prolific oil & gas basins in the U.S. The TEAK assets include a 200 MMcfd cryogenic processing facility, as well as a gathering system with over 750 MMcfd of throughput capacity.

As a result of the TEAK transaction, APL provided guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for full year 2014 of $450 million to $500 million, and full year 2014 distribution guidance of $2.75 to $2.85 per unit.

Based on the forecasted earnings and cash flow to APL from the TEAK assets, ATLS expects to receive an additional $25 million to $40 million of annual distributable cash flow as the acquired assets grow and mature in the future. This represents approximately $0.45 to $0.75 per ATLS common unit of additional distributable cash flow on an annualized basis.

Atlas Resource’s Marcellus Shale test results in Lycoming County, PA

ARP recently completed seven horizontal Marcellus Shale wells on two pad sites in Lycoming County, PA. All of these Marcellus Shale wells have been drilled with funding from ARP’s partnership management programs. ARP has an approximate 35% working interest in these wells. There were a total of 131 frac stages completed amongst the seven wells, which had an average lateral length of approximately 4,000 feet. The wells were flowed at an average casing pressure of approximately 3,600 psi. ARP had substantial indications from these wells, which had aggregate peak flow rates of approximately 140 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (“MMcfd”), or an average of 20 mmcfd per well, with one well having a peak rate as high as 32 MMcfd. These wells are currently shut in and awaiting pipeline, which is expected in early third quarter 2013.

ARP currently expects to drill an additional 15 Marcellus Shale wells in Lycoming Co. through the end of 2014 within its partnership management programs.

Atlas Pipeline Senior Notes Offering

On May 7, 2013, APL entered into an agreement to sell $400 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2021 in a private placement transaction. APL expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $392 million after commissions and other transaction costs, and APL intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to reduce obligations under its revolving credit facility, and for general partnership purposes.

The senior notes will be subject to a registration rights agreement, which will require APL, among other things, to file a registration statement with the SEC and exchange the privately placed notes for registered notes by certain dates.

Atlas Resource First Quarter 2013 Highlights

  • ARP’s average net daily production for the first quarter 2013 was 133.0 Mmcfed, an increase of 22.9 Mmcfed, or approximately 21%, compared with the fourth quarter 2012, and an increase of approximately 240% compared to the prior year first quarter. The production increase from fourth quarter 2012 was primarily due to a full quarter’s volume from the acquisition of the Marble Falls oil & gas properties in the Fort Worth basin (TX) from DTE Energy in December 2012. The increase compared to the prior year quarter is due primarily to ARP’s acquisitions of producing oil& gas properties in the Barnett Shale and Fort Worth basin in Texas and Hunton formation in Oklahoma. Oil and natural gas liquids production accounted for approximately 20% of total production volume for the period, compared with 13% for the fourth quarter 2012 and 10% for the prior year first quarter.

ATLS owns 100% of the general partner Class A units and the incentive distribution rights, and a 43% common limited partner interest in ARP. ATLS’ financial results are presented on a consolidated basis with those of ARP. Non-controlling interests in ARP are reflected as income (expense) in ATLS’ consolidated statements of operations and as a component of partners’ capital on its consolidated balance sheets. A consolidating statement of operations and balance sheet have also been provided in the financial tables to this release for the comparable periods presented.

Atlas Pipeline First Quarter 2013 Highlights

  • During the first quarter 2013, APL operated near or at nameplate capacity on all of its gathering and processing systems in the Mid Continent. APL processed an average of approximately 1,032.9 Mmcfd of natural gas in the first quarter 2013 amongst its WestOK, WestTX, Velma and the newly-acquired Arkoma systems, 63% higher than the prior year comparable quarter’s volumes. APL again attained record high volumes with over 84,000 bbl per day of natural gas liquids generated from its four processing systems, which primarily reside in Oklahoma and Texas.

ATLS owns a 2.0% general partner interest, all of the incentive distribution rights, and a 7.5% common limited partner interest in APL.

Corporate Expenses

  • Cash general and administrative expense, excluding amounts attributable to APL and ARP, was $3.0 million for the first quarter 2013, $1.5 million higher than the fourth quarter 2012 and $0.5 million higher than the prior year first quarter. The increase from fourth quarter 2012 was due primarily to higher seasonal corporate expenses incurred earlier in the year, including yearend compliance costs. Please refer to the consolidating statements of operations provided in the financial tables of this release.

  A reconciliation from net income to distributable cash flow is provided in the financial tables of this release.
 

(2)

Calculation consists of distributable cash flow divided by the weighted average common limited partner units outstanding of 51,369,000 and 51,294,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(3) Represents the cash distributions declared per limited partner unit for the respective period and paid by ATLS within 50 days after the end of each quarter, based upon the distributable cash flow generated during the respective quarter.
 
(4) Production quantities consist of the sum of (i) ARP’s proportionate share of production from wells in which it has a direct interest, based on ARP’s proportionate net revenue interest in such wells, and (ii) ARP’s proportionate share of production from wells owned by the investment partnerships in which ARP has an interest, based on its equity interest in each such partnership and based on each partnership’s proportionate net revenue interest in these wells.
 
(5) “Mcf” and “Mcfd” represent thousand cubic feet and thousand cubic feet per day; “Mcfe” and “Mcfed” represent thousand cubic feet equivalents and thousand cubic feet equivalents per day, and “Bbl” and “Bpd” represent barrels and barrels per day. Barrels are converted to Mcfe using the ratio of six Mcf’s to one barrel.
 
(6) ARP’s average sales price for natural gas before the effects of financial hedging was $2.90 per Mcf and $2.88 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts exclude the impact of subordination of production revenues to investor partners within the investor partnerships. Including the effects of subordination, average natural gas sales prices were $3.01 per Mcf ($2.59 per Mcf before the effects of financial hedging) and $3.98 per Mcf ($2.53 per Mcf before the effects of financial hedging) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(7) ARP’s average sales price for oil before the effects of financial hedging was $90.80 per barrel and $100.41 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(8) Production costs include labor to operate the wells and related equipment, repairs and maintenance, materials and supplies, property taxes, severance taxes, insurance and production overhead. These amounts exclude the effects of ARP’s proportionate share of lease operating expenses associated with subordination of production revenue to investor partners within ARP’s investor partnerships. Including the effects of these costs, lease operating expenses per Mcfe were $0.90 per Mcfe ($1.12 per Mcfe for total production costs) and $0.84 per Mcfe ($0.95 per Mcfe for total production costs) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management of ATLS believes that adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide additional information for evaluating ATLS’s performance, among other things. These measures are widely used by commercial banks, investment bankers, rating agencies and investors in evaluating performance relative to peers and pre-set performance standards. Adjusted EBITDA is also a financial measurement that, with certain negotiated adjustments, is utilized within ATLS’s financial covenants under its credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.
(5) Excludes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs.
(6) Represents the cash distribution paid within 50 days after the end of each quarter, based upon the distributable cash flow generated during the respective quarter.
