Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. Reports
Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial and Operating Results
 
Dallas, Texas, February 7, 2011 -- Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P.  (“Pioneer Southwest” or “the Partnership”) (NYSE:PSE) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Net income for the fourth quarter was $5 million, or $0.14 per common unit.  Net income included unrealized mark-to-market derivative losses of $20 million, or $0.61 per common unit.  Without the effect of this item, adjusted income for the fourth quarter would have been $25 million, or $0.75 per common unit.  Cash flow from operations for the period was $21 million.

Oil and gas sales for the fourth quarter averaged 6,526 barrels oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), an increase of 8% from the fourth quarter of 2009.  Fourth quarter oil sales averaged 3,988 barrels per day (BPD), natural gas liquid (NGL) sales averaged 1,548 BPD and gas sales averaged 6 million cubic feet per day.  Fourth quarter production was down slightly compared to the third quarter of 2010 as a result of colder weather, which increases the use of field fuel, and new well connections being delayed until the end of the quarter.

The fourth quarter average reported price for oil was $108.81 per barrel.  The average reported price for NGLs was $47.65 per barrel, and the average reported price for gas was $4.24 per thousand cubic feet.

The Partnership has a large inventory of oil drilling locations in the Spraberry field, with approximately 125 40-acre locations and 1,200 20-acre locations.  It continues to operate two drilling rigs.  Twenty-eight wells were placed on production during 2010 and 18 additional wells were awaiting completion or were being drilled at December 31, 2010.  All wells are being completed in the deeper Wolfcamp formation and organic rich shale/silt intervals.

For 2011, the Partnership’s capital budget totals $67 million, consisting of $62 million for drilling and $5 million for facilities.  The 2011 drilling program includes drilling 40 to 45 wells and is expected to generate full-year production growth of 5+% compared to 2010.  Well costs are expected to increase to approximately $1.4 million as a result of service cost inflation.  This higher cost is expected to be offset by an increase in estimated ultimate reserve recoveries resulting from completing wells in the deeper Wolfcamp and organic rich shale/silt intervals.  In addition, the Partnership is testing the deeper Strawn formation in certain areas of the field.

The Partnership has credit facility availability of $219 million, which is expected to be adequate to fund future growth through drilling and acquisitions.

Pioneer Southwest previously announced a cash distribution of $0.50 per outstanding common unit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, or $2.00 per outstanding common unit on an annual basis.  The distribution is payable February 11, 2011, to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 3, 2011.  Distribution sustainability is supported by the Partnership’s low-decline rate Spraberry properties, its large drilling inventory of 40-acre and 20-acre locations and its strong derivative position through 2014.  Of the Partnership’s forecasted production, derivative contracts cover approximately 70% in 2011, 80% in 2012, 60% in 2013 and 25% in 2014.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
Proved Reserves
 
The Partnership’s total proved oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2010 were 52 million barrels oil equivalent (MMBOE), an increase of 8 MMBOE from year-end 2009.  The proved reserve increase includes 6 MMBOE of performance improvement revisions and 4 MMBOE from positive price revisions, partially offset by production of 2 MMBOE.  The prices used for 2010 reserves reporting purposes were $79.28 per barrel for oil and $4.37 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for gas compared to $61.14 per barrel of oil and $3.87 per MMBtu of gas used to calculate proved reserves for 2009.  The positive pricing revisions reflect the addition of proved reserves in the Spraberry field due to the higher prices extending the economic life of the fields’ producing wells.
 
Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., an independent reserve engineering firm, audited all of Pioneer Southwest’s proved reserves at year-end 2010.
 
First Quarter 2011 Financial Outlook
The following paragraphs provide the Partnership’s first quarter of 2011 outlook for certain operating and financial items.  This outlook does not reflect potential impacts of anticipated weather-related downtime and associated repairs in the Spraberry field.

Production is forecasted to average 6,500 BOEPD to 6,900 BOEPD.  Production costs (including production and ad valorem taxes) are expected to average $20.00 to $23.00 per barrel oil equivalent (BOE) based on current NYMEX strip prices for oil, NGLs and gas.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is expected to average $5.00 to $6.00 per BOE.

General and administrative expense is expected to be $1 million to $2 million.  Interest expense is expected to be $400 thousand to $600 thousand.  Accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations is forecasted to be nominal.

Pioneer Southwest’s cash taxes and effective income tax rate are expected to be approximately 1% of earnings before income taxes as a result of Pioneer Southwest being subject to the Texas Margin tax.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS PER UNIT INFORMATION
(in thousands, except for per unit amounts)


 
The Partnership follows the two-class method of calculating basic and diluted earnings per unit.  Under the two-class method, generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") provides that the net income applicable to the Partnership be allocated to all securities that participate in the Partnership's earnings.  Accordingly, net income applicable to the Partnership is allocated to the General Partner, unvested participating securities and common unitholders.  Net losses applicable to the Partnership are allocated to the General Partner and common unitholders but only to unvested participating securities to the extent that they receive distributions during loss periods because unvested participating securities are not contractually obligated to share in the Partnership's net losses.  Unit- and unit-based awards with guaranteed dividend or distribution participation rights qualify as "participating securities" during their vesting periods.  The Partnership's basic and diluted net income per unit attributable to common unitholders is computed as (i) net income applicable to the Partnership, (ii) less General Partner earnings, (iii) less participating securities' basic and diluted earnings (iv) divided by weighted average basic and diluted units outstanding.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Partnership's net income applicable to the Partnership to basic and diluted net income attributable to common unitholders, and the calculation of net income per common unit - basic and diluted, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands)

 
EBITDAX and distributable cash flow (as defined below) are presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities and net income.  Management of Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. believes these financial measures provide additional information to the investment community about the Partnership's ability to generate sufficient cash flow to sustain or increase distributions to its unitholders, among other items.  In particular, EBITDAX is used in the Partnership's credit facility to determine the interest rate that we will pay on outstanding borrowings and to determine compliance with the leverage and interest coverage tests. EBITDAX and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in millions, except per unit data)

 
Income adjusted for unrealized mark-to-market derivative losses, as presented in this press release, is presented and reconciled to the Partnership’s net income determined in accordance with GAAP because the Partnership believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Partnership’s business that, when viewed together with its financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its historical financial performance and future operating results, greater transparency of underlying trends and greater comparability of results across periods. In addition, management believes that this non-GAAP measure may enhance investors’ ability to assess the Partnership’s historical and future financial performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be a substitute for the comparable GAAP measure and should be read only in conjunction with the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses are of a type that will recur in future periods; however, the amount can vary significantly from period to period. The table below reconciles the Partnership’s net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted income excluding unrealized mark-to-market derivative losses for that quarter.
