LRR Energy, L.P. Announces an Update on Second Quarter 2013 Operating Results

HOUSTON, TX, June 6, 2013 — LRR Energy, L.P. (NYSE: LRE) (“LRR Energy”) today provided an update on its operating results for the second quarter of 2013 and reaffirmed its 2013 public guidance.

LRR Energy’s estimated average net production for the two months ended May 31, 2013 was approximately 6,450 Boe/d, which was in line with management’s expectations.  The average two month production number is net of approximately 85 Boe/d of flared gas volumes which was due to third party constraints.  We expect these constraints to be resolved during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Based on current estimates, LRR Energy reaffirms its previously issued 2013 guidance (assuming no future acquisitions) as follows:

The guidance above sets forth management’s best estimate based on current and anticipated market conditions and other factors.  While management believes that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and are subject to, among other things, significant business, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those management anticipates, as set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

As of June 5, 2013, LRR Energy had $190 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $50 million of outstanding borrowings under its term loan.  LRR Energy currently has $60 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility which management believes provides ample financial flexibility to execute its 2013 capital program and distribution strategy.
