LRR Energy, L.P. Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results

Houston, Texas (October 30, 2014) - LRR Energy, L.P. (NYSE: LRE) (“LRR Energy”) announced today its operating and financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Eric Mullins, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall we are pleased with our third quarter 2014 results. Despite slightly lower production volumes during the quarter, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio increased as compared to the second quarter of 2014.”

Selected Financial and Operating Information

A summary of selected financial and operating information follows. For consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, please see the accompanying tables on pages 7-9.

(2)         Non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures beginning on page 10.

LRR Energy’s average net production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was negatively impacted by flaring at our Red Lake field of approximately 25 Boe/d and 40 Boe/d, respectively. During the third quarter, production at our non-operated Putnam field was approximately 85 Boe/d below our expectations because of delayed drilling activity and new well production performance. Due to flooding, production at our Corral Canyon field was negatively impacted by approximately 25 Boe/d during the third quarter. Finally, production at our non-operated Corral Canyon field was approximately 20 Boe/d below our third quarter expectations because of the deferment of drilling a well. Normal operations at our Corral Canyon field resumed on October 9, 2014. LRR Energy’s October 2014 average net production through October 24, 2014 was approximately 6,525 Boe/d.

Recent Events

As of October 30, 2014, LRR Energy had $233 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $50 million of outstanding borrowings under its term loan. LRR Energy’s current liquidity position is approximately $39 million consisting of $27 million of availability under our revolving credit facility and approximately $12 million of available cash on hand. Management believes cash flow from operations, the capacity under the revolving credit facility and the proceeds from its current At-the-Market Offering Program will provide ample financial flexibility to execute its 2014 capital program and distribution strategy.

On October 17, 2014, LRR Energy announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared an increased cash distribution for the third quarter of 2014 of $0.4975 per outstanding unit, or $1.99 on an annualized basis. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2014 to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014. The declaration represents the ninth consecutive increase to LRR Energy’s quarterly distribution.

Revised 2014 Guidance

LRR Energy has revised its full year 2014 guidance based on actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and a decreased capital development program for the second half of 2014. The majority of the $2.5 million capital decrease is due to expected lower non-operated development activity at our Putnam and Corral Canyon fields. Based on current estimates, and assuming no future acquisitions, LRR Energy’s revised full year 2014 guidance is as follows:

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.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

LRR Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus or minus income tax expense; interest expense-net, including loss (gain) on interest rate derivative instruments, net; depletion and depreciation; accretion of asset retirement obligations; amortization of equity awards; loss (gain) on settlement of asset retirement obligations; loss (gain) on commodity derivative instruments, net; commodity derivative instrument net cash settlements; impairment of oil and natural gas properties; and other non-recurring items that LRR Energy deems appropriate.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by LRR Energy’s management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess LRR Energy’s financial performance as compared to that of other companies and partnerships in the industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash income tax expense; cash interest expense; and estimated maintenance capital. Distribution Coverage Ratio-common unitholders is defined as the ratio of Distributable Cash Flow to the total quarterly distribution payable on all of LRR Energy’s outstanding common units. Distribution Coverage Ratio-all unitholders is defined as the ratio of Distributable Cash Flow to the total quarterly distribution payable on all of LRR Energy’s outstanding common, subordinated and general partner units.

Distributable Cash Flow and the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders are used as supplemental financial measures by LRR Energy’s management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to compare basic cash flows generated by LRR Energy (prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserve by its general partner) to the cash distributions it expects to pay its unitholders. Distributable Cash Flow and the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders are also important financial measures for LRR Energy’s unitholders as they serve as indicators of its success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, these metrics indicate to investors whether or not LRR Energy is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates. Distributable Cash Flow and the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders are quantitative standards used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies because the yield is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder compared to the unit price.

LRR Energy’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders are useful to investors because these measures are used by many partnerships in the industry as measures of operating and financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate its operating and financial performance from period to period and to compare it with the performance of other publicly traded partnerships within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. LRR Energy’s Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow or the Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders in the same manner. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio-common and all unitholders to net income (loss), LRR Energy’s most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
