Eagle Rock Reports Fourth-Quarter and Year-End 2010 Financial Results
HOUSTON - Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (“Eagle Rock” or the “Partnership”) (NASDAQ: EROC) today announced its unaudited financial results for the full-year and three months ended December 31, 2010. Financial highlights with respect to fourth-quarter 2010 included the following (all current and historical financial results for the Partnership's Minerals Business, which was sold during the second quarter of 2010, have been removed from the operating financial results and are reflected in Discontinued Operations):
• | Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $31.7 million, down from the $33.2 million reported in third-quarter 2010. |
• | Reported Distributable Cash Flow of $18.1 million, an increase of approximately 5% as compared to the $17.2 million reported in third-quarter 2010. |
• | Reported a net loss of $52.2 million, primarily attributable to unrealized commodity derivative losses and impairments totaling $55.9 million. |
• | Paid a quarterly distribution with respect to the fourth quarter of 2010 of $0.15 per common unit, an increase of $0.125 per common unit over the distribution paid with respect to third-quarter 2010, with a distribution coverage ratio of approximately 1.4x; management has announced its objective and expectation of reaching an annualized distribution rate of $0.75 per unit commencing with respect to the fourth quarter of 2011 (payable in February 2012). |
• | Announced that the borrowing base under the Partnership's senior secured credit facility had been increased to $140 million from its previous level of $130 million as part of Eagle Rock's regularly scheduled semi-annual borrowing base redetermination. |
Other notable operational events impacting the fourth quarter of 2010 include the following:
• | Announced and closed the acquisition of 200 miles of complementary gathering systems in Texas Panhandle and the acquisition of additional interests in the Partnership's Big Escambia Creek Field; the two transactions totaled approximately $31 million. |
• | Announced start-up of commercial operations of the Partnership's Phoenix Plant located in Roberts County in Texas Panhandle. |
• | Approximately one quarter of the Partnership's total upstream production was shut-in for the entire quarter due to an unscheduled shutdown of a third-party owned and operated processing facility which negatively impacted the Partnership's financial results for the quarter. The Partnership recovered and recorded $3.0 million under its contingent business interruption insurance policy during the quarter. |
For the full-year 2010, Eagle Rock generated $128.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 26% from the $174.5 million reported for the full-year 2009. Realized commodity derivative gains contributed approximately $83.3 million to full-year 2009 Adjusted EBITDA, while realized commodity derivative losses reduced full-year 2010 Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $17.0
million. Without this impact, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by $54.5 million, or 60%, from full-year 2009 to full-year 2010, which was largely driven by increases in the underlying commodity prices.
"The fourth quarter marked our return to growing the business after completing the restructuring of our capital and governance structure," said Joseph A. Mills, Eagle Rock's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we closed two small but highly complementary acquisitions that strengthened several of our core operational areas.”
Mr. Mills added, "As we look forward to 2011, we are excited about the numerous opportunities we see to capitalize on our core operational areas and to expand our operational and commercial reach. Our primary focus will be on growing the Partnership through organic growth projects and acquisitions that are accretive to our distributable cash flow per unit."
Recent Acquisitions
The Partnership acquired certain natural gas gathering systems and related facilities located primarily in Wheeler and Hemphill Counties in the Texas Panhandle from Centerpoint Energy Field Services, Inc. (the "East Hemphill Acquisition"). The purchase price for the assets was approximately $27 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. The East Hemphill Acquisition closed on October 19, 2010, with an effective date of October 1, 2010. The acquired assets include over 200 miles of gathering pipeline and related compression and dehydration facilities, together with gas gathering contracts, rights of way and other intangible assets. The assets are located in the core of the active and prolific Granite Wash play and are highly complementary to the Partnership's existing East Panhandle system and the newly installed and commissioned Phoenix processing plant.
In addition, Eagle Rock acquired additional working and net revenue interests in wells located in the Big Escambia Creek Field and the nearby Flomaton and Fanny Church Fields, located in Escambia County, Alabama, from Indigo Minerals, LLC, for $4.1 million, with an effective date of August 1, 2010 (the “BEC - Indigo Acquisition”). The acquisition closed on October 4, 2010, and these interests are in wells in which the Partnership currently owns a significant interest and are nearly 100% operated by the Partnership. The Partnership estimates that the interests acquired contain 411 MBoe of proved reserves, 87% of which are classified as proved developed producing. Currently, the daily production rate associated with the interests is 130 Boe/d.
Reminder Regarding Third Warrant Exercise Date
The third exercise date for Eagle Rock's outstanding warrants is March 15, 2011. A total of 21,557,164 warrants were issued in conjunction with the Eagle Rock rights offering which expired on June 30, 2010. The warrants have been trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market since July 9, 2010 under the symbol “EROCW.”
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Eagle Rock common unit for $6.00 on certain specified days (March 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, or on the first business day following such date if it is not a business day) through the expiration date of May 15, 2012. The method for exercising the warrants is set forth in the prospectus supplement the Partnership filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2010.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Update Regarding Distribution Policy
As previously disclosed, the Eagle Rock management team anticipates recommending to the Board of Directors increases in the quarterly distribution with the expectation and objective of reaching an annualized distribution rate of $0.75 per unit commencing with respect to the fourth quarter of 2011 (payable in February 2012).
Actual future changes in the distribution level, if any, will be driven by market conditions, future commodity prices, the Partnership's leverage levels, the performance of the Partnership's underlying assets and the Partnership's ability to consummate accretive growth projects or acquisitions.
Management's distribution recommendation is subject to change should factors affecting the general business climate or the Partnership's specific operations differ from current expectations. All actual distributions paid will be determined and declared at the discretion of the Eagle Rock board of directors.
Fourth-Quarter 2010 Financial and Operating Results
Eagle Rock analyzes and manages its operations under six segments: four segments in its Midstream Business - the Texas Panhandle, East Texas/Louisiana, South Texas and Gulf of Mexico Segments - and the Upstream and Corporate Segments. The Corporate Segment includes the Partnership's general and administrative expenses, derivatives portfolio, and other corporate activities. The following discussion of Eagle Rock's operating income by business segment compares the Partnership's financial results in the fourth quarter of 2010 to those of the third quarter of 2010. The Partnership believes comparing these periods is more illustrative of current operating trends than comparing the current quarter to results achieved in the fourth quarter of 2009. Please refer to the financial tables at the end of this release for further detailed information.
Midstream Business - Operating income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of impairments, for the Midstream Business in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased by $1.9 million, or 21%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The primary reason for this increase was higher average realized prices for NGLs and condensate. Also contributing to the increase in operating income was a 10% increase in equity NGL volumes and a 2% increase in natural gas gathering volumes. These factors were partially offset by lower equity condensate volumes.
In the Texas Panhandle, gathered volumes were up 16%, with combined equity NGL and condensate volumes down less than 1%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase in gathered volumes was primarily due to the addition of volumes from the East Hemphill system acquired on October 19, 2010, a portion of which is dry gas that does not require processing. Liquids volumes were down slightly, despite the increase in gathered volumes in the East Panhandle system, due to the natural production decline rates of the wells connected to our West Panhandle system. The wells in our West Panhandle system produce natural gas that contains a higher NGL content than the wells connected to our East Panhandle system.
In East Texas, gathered volumes were down 5%, with equity NGL and condensate volumes
down 8%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The volume decrease in this area was primarily due to natural decline curves on existing wells. Several new wells that were expected to mitigate this natural decline encountered permitting or water production issues which delayed bringing the gas and liquids production online during the quarter. These issues have now been resolved.
In South Texas, gathered volumes were down 26%, with equity NGL and condensate volumes up 69%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. Gathered volumes were down primarily due to the loss of a significant producer contract at the Partnership's Raymondville system in the middle of the third quarter of 2010 and decreased drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2010. Equity NGL and condensate volumes increased substantially in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to “pigging” operations conducted in the South Texas Segment earlier in the year that flushed liquids and condensate from the pipelines. As a result, liquids volumes in the third quarter were artificially low as liquids built up in the pipelines during this period. Pigging operations resumed in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In the Gulf of Mexico, gathered volumes were up 12%, with equity NGL volumes down 4%. The increase in gathering volumes was primarily a result of increased drilling activity in the shallow water Gulf of Mexico in the fourth quarter of 2010. The natural gas received from the more recently-drilled wells, however, has been leaner (i.e., containing fewer natural gas liquids) than from the existing wells on the system, resulting in the decrease in our equity NGL volumes.
Upstream Business - Operating income for Eagle Rock's Upstream Business in the fourth quarter of 2010, excluding the impact of impairments, increased by $2.2 million, or 25%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase was attributable to higher crude oil and condensate, NGLs and sulfur prices, and increased production associated with the BEC-Indigo Acquisition, as compared to the third quarter of 2010. This increase was partially offset by lower production from the Partnership's East Texas upstream assets during the quarter, as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Upstream production during the entire fourth quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by the shut-in of the Partnership's East Texas oil, natural gas, NGL, and sulfur production due to an unscheduled shutdown of the Eustace processing facility owned and operated by Tristream Energy, LLC, (“Tristream”), the third party owner of the Eustace facility. As previously disclosed, the Eustace facility was shut down on August 11, 2010, due to significant damage to the facility's sulfur recovery unit. The Partnership estimates the shut-in negatively impacted net revenues in its Upstream Business in the fourth quarter by approximately $5.0 million and for the full-year 2010 by approximately $7.1 million. According to Tristream, all major repairs to the Eustace facility have been completed, and the plant should return to service in the coming days. Eagle Rock will continue to provide updates as to its East Texas production status as new information becomes available. The Partnership received recoveries of $3 million as a result of its contingent business interruption insurance in the fourth quarter of 2010, which was recorded as 'Other Revenue,' and is pursuing additional recoveries (subject to deductibles and an overall cap of $5 million) associated with its lost net revenues due to the shut-in of the Eustace facility.
Corporate Segment - Cash flow from realized commodity derivative settlements decreased by $5.4 million to a realized net loss of $7.0 million in fourth-quarter 2010, as compared to a realized net loss of $1.5 million in third-quarter 2010. This was primarily due to substantially higher oil, condensate and NGL prices at the index points where the Partnership's hedges settled during the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by the higher
weighted average strike price on Eagle Rock's crude oil hedges in the fourth quarter of 2010 ($70.52 per barrel) relative to $67.67 per barrel in the third quarter of 2010. The weighted average strike price on the Partnership's crude oil hedges for 2011 increases to $74.97 per barrel, which represents a 6.3% increase over the average strike price in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Total revenue for fourth-quarter 2010, including the impact of Eagle Rock's realized and unrealized derivative gains and losses, was $153.5 million, down 3% compared with $159.0 million reported for third-quarter 2010. The largest contributor to the decline in total revenue was the Partnership's unrealized loss on commodity derivatives. Eagle Rock recorded an unrealized loss on commodity derivatives of $29.6 million in fourth-quarter 2010, as compared to an unrealized loss on commodity derivatives of $17.0 million in third-quarter 2010. The unrealized gain (loss) on commodity derivatives is a non-cash, mark-to-market amount which includes the amortization of commodity hedging costs. Revenues associated with the sale of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs, condensate and sulfur were up 7% relative to the third quarter of 2010, driven by higher average realized crude oil, condensate, NGL and sulfur prices.
Adjusted EBITDA was $31.7 million and Distributable Cash Flow was $18.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Partnership's distribution of $0.15 per common unit with respect to the fourth quarter of 2010 was paid on Monday, February 14, 2011 to the Partnership's common unitholders of record as of the close of business on Monday, February 7, 2011.
Full-Year 2010 Financial and Operating Results
Total revenue for 2010, including the impact of Eagle Rock's realized and unrealized derivative gains and losses, was $758.4 million, up 28% compared with $594.8 million reported for 2009. The largest contributor to the increase in total revenue was the Partnership's unrealized gain (loss) on commodity derivatives. Eagle Rock recorded an unrealized gain on commodity derivatives of $8.2 million in 2010, as compared to an unrealized loss on commodity derivatives of $189.6 million in 2009. Revenues associated with the sale of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs, condensate and sulfur were up 9% relative to those in 2009, driven by higher average realized commodity prices. 2010 revenues included a realized loss on commodity derivatives of $17.0 million, as compared to a realized gain of $83.3 million in 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA was $128.7 million and Distributable Cash Flow was $67.6 million in 2010 as compared to $174.5 million and $109.7 million, respectively, in 2009. The primary reason for these declines was a decrease in the Partnership's realized commodity derivative gains, which is accounted for in the Partnership's Corporate Segment. As noted above, the Partnership's realized commodity derivative settlements were down more than $100 million in 2010 as compared to in 2009.
With regard to the Partnership's Midstream operations, gas gathering volumes were down 15%, and combined NGL and condensate volumes were down 4%, as compared to those in 2009. However, these declines were more than offset by higher average realized prices for NGLs and condensate which were up 66% and 13%, respectively, as compared to commodity prices in 2009.
With regard to the Partnership's Upstream operations, total production was down 5% as compared to production in 2009 due to the shut-in of the Partnership's East Texas production beginning on August 11, 2010 and continuing through the end of the year. Without this impact, management estimates total production in 2010 would have increased by approximately 3%
over 2009. The production decline was more than offset by higher realized commodity prices during 2010 versus 2009.
Capitalization and Liquidity Update
Total debt outstanding under the Partnership's revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2010 was $530.0 million. Outstanding borrowings increased by $14.6 million during the fourth quarter due to the East Hemphill Acquisition and BEC - Indigo Acquisition. Since December 31, 2009, the Partnership has reduced its total debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility by $224.4 million.
As of December 31, 2010, the revolving credit facility had aggregate commitments of approximately $871 million after adjusting for the unfunded portion of Lehman Brothers' commitment. The Partnership is in compliance with its financial covenants and has no maturities under its credit facility until December 2012. Availability under the credit facility is a function of undrawn commitments and the limitations imposed by the borrowing base for the Upstream Business and traditional cash-flow based covenants for the Midstream Business. The borrowing base for the Upstream Business was $140 million for the fourth-quarter 2010.
Hedging Update
On November 29, 2010, the Partnership announced it had terminated certain of its crude oil proxy hedges related to the expected natural gas liquids production from its Midstream Business in 2011 and replaced them with direct natural gas liquids product hedges. As a result, approximately 51% of Eagle Rock's expected 2011 natural gas liquids production (propane and heavier) is hedged using direct product hedges.
On December 20, 2010, the Partnership undertook several steps to reduce its exposure in 2011 to changes in ethane and natural gas prices. As a result of these actions, the Partnership estimates that its Upstream natural gas and ethane exposure is 84% hedged through natural gas hedges. With respect to its Midstream business, approximately 40% of its natural gas exposure and 47% of its ethane exposure has been hedged. All of its Midstream ethane hedges are direct product hedges.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the accompanying schedules include the non-generally accepted accounting principles, or non-GAAP, financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. The accompanying non-GAAP financial measures schedules (after the financial schedules) provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
Eagle Rock defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus or (minus) income tax provision (benefit); interest-net, including realized interest rate risk management instruments and other expense; depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; impairment expense; other operating expense, non-recurring; other non-cash operating and general and administrative expenses, including non-cash compensation related to our equity-based compensation program; unrealized (gains) losses on commodity and interest rate risk management related instruments; (gains) losses on discontinued operations and other (income) expense.
Eagle Rock uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of its core profitability to assess the financial performance of its assets. Adjusted EBITDA also is used as a supplemental financial measure by external users of Eagle Rock's financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts. For example, the Partnership's lenders under its revolving credit facility use a variant of its Adjusted EBITDA in a compliance covenant designed to measure the viability of
Eagle Rock and its ability to perform under the terms of the revolving credit facility; Eagle Rock, therefore, uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its compliance with its revolving credit facility. Eagle Rock believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that its management uses in evaluating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is useful in determining Eagle Rock's ability to sustain or increase distributions. By excluding unrealized derivative gains (losses), a non-cash, mark-to-market benefit (charge) which represents the change in fair market value of the Partnership's executed derivative instruments and is independent of its assets' performance or cash flow generating ability, Eagle Rock believes Adjusted EBITDA reflects more accurately the Partnership's ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its level of indebtedness, make cash distributions to its unitholders and finance its maintenance capital expenditures. Eagle Rock further believes that Adjusted EBITDA also portrays more accurately the underlying performance of its operating assets by isolating the performance of its operating assets from the impact of an unrealized, non-cash measure designed to portray the fluctuating inherent value of a financial asset. Similarly, by excluding the impact of non-recurring discontinued operations, Adjusted EBITDA provides users of the Partnership's financial statements a more accurate picture of its current assets' cash generation ability, independently from that of assets which are no longer a part of its operations.
Eagle Rock's Adjusted EBITDA definition may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures of other entities, as other entities may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as Eagle Rock. For example, the Partnership includes in Adjusted EBITDA the actual settlement revenue created from its commodity hedges by virtue of transactions undertaken by it to reset commodity hedges to prices higher than those reflected in the forward curve at the time of the transaction or to purchase puts or other similar floors despite the fact that the Partnership excludes from Adjusted EBITDA any charge for amortization of the cost of such commodity hedge reset transactions or puts. Eagle Rock has reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) at the end of this release.
Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus: (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) cash interest expense; (iii) cash income taxes; and (iv) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income (loss) for the period. Maintenance capital expenditures represent: a) in our Midstream Business, capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to meet regulatory requirements, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and extend their useful lives, or to connect wells to maintain existing system volumes and related cash flows; and b) in our Upstream Business, capital which is expended to maintain our production and cash flow levels in the near future.
Distributable Cash Flow is a significant performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly distribution rates. Actual distributions are set by the Board of Directors.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Distributable Cash Flow is net income (loss). Eagle Rock's Distributable Cash Flow definition may not be comparable to Distributable Cash
Flow or similarly titled measures of other entities, as other entities may not calculate Distributable Cash Flow (and Adjusted EBITDA, on which it builds) in the same manner as Eagle Rock. See the example given above for Adjusted EBITDA related to amortization of costs of commodity hedges, including costs of hedge reset transactions. Eagle Rock has reconciled Distributable Cash Flow to the GAAP financial measure of net income/(loss) at the end of this release.
