Oxford Resource Partners, LP Reports
Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 30, 2014 – Oxford Resource Partners, LP (NYSE: OXF) (the “Partnership” or “Oxford”) today announced third quarter 2014 financial results.
Third Quarter 2014 Results
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $26.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase was driven by $19.5 million of legal settlement proceeds received in the third quarter of 2014, compensating the Partnership for lost profits on coal sales resulting from the wrongful termination of a coal supply agreement with a former customer. Cash coal sales revenue increased 2.8 percent to $52.16 per ton for the third quarter of 2014 from $50.74 per ton for the third quarter of 2013. For the third quarter of 2014, cash cost of coal sales increased by 4.4 percent to $46.29 per ton from $44.34 per ton for the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to lower volume and higher costs of transportation, diesel fuel and employee compensation. Cash margins decreased 8.3 percent to $5.87 per ton for the third quarter of 2014 from $6.40 per ton for the third quarter of 2013.
Net income was $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss of $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted Net Loss2 was $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, when excluding the $19.5 million in proceeds representing lost profits on coal sales, and a $0.2 million gain relating to the change in fair value of warrants. Adjusted Net Loss was $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, when excluding a $2.7 million gain relating to the change in fair value of warrants, $1.3 million in lost profits on coal sales proceeds, a $1.1 million gain on disposal of assets, and $0.2 million of restructuring expenses.
“The mild summer weather adversely impacted our third quarter sales results. Customer stockpiles have been near capacity, resulting in delayed shipments,” said Oxford’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Charles C. Ungurean. “We anticipate that volumes will return to more normal levels in the fourth quarter.”
“Oxford is very excited about the recently announced transactions with Westmoreland Coal Company,” Ungurean continued. “Their proposed acquisition of our general partner and a substantial percentage of our limited partnership, together with our restructuring and Westmoreland’s contribution of revenue enhancing assets, will create significant opportunities for our public unitholders, including the reinstatement of cash distributions. Oxford will become the MLP vehicle for Westmoreland, to which it intends to continue to contribute MLP-appropriate assets, allowing Westmoreland to realize additional value for its shareholders as well. This is a great opportunity for both companies and we are thrilled to be joining with Westmoreland.”

Business Update
Oxford’s projected sales volume is 96.8 percent committed and priced for the balance of 2014, underscoring the strength of its long-term customer relationships and its strategic importance in its core region. Oxford has the ability to increase annual production by up to 0.5 million tons with little additional capital investment if additional demand materializes. For 2015, projected sales volume is 69.2 percent committed (with 21.4 percent of the projected sales volume priced and 47.8 percent of the projected sales volume unpriced).
Westmoreland Transactions
On October 16, 2014, Westmoreland Coal Company (NasdaqGM: WLB, “Westmoreland”), the Partnership and the Partnership’s general partner, Oxford Resources GP, LLC (“Oxford GP”), announced that Westmoreland will acquire Oxford GP and contribute certain royalty bearing coal reserves to the Partnership in return for common units of the Partnership. As a result, the Partnership intends to resume quarterly distributions at $0.20 per common unit (after a 12-to-1 reverse split) and refinance its existing credit facilities on better terms, including terms that allow for distributions to unitholders and additional credit capacity to fund future acquisitions. Certain lenders have agreed to provide a new credit facility for Oxford that will refinance all of Oxford’s existing debt on that basis. There will also be a one-time special distribution to the common unitholders of Oxford excluding AIM, C&T, the Warrantholders and Westmoreland. The distribution will be made to such common unitholders, on a pro rata basis, and will consist of an approximately 25% “unit dividend” of an aggregate of 202,184 additional post-reverse split common units. Following these transactions, the Partnership will continue to operate as a stand-alone, publicly-traded master limited partnership (MLP) and Westmoreland will own 77% of the fully diluted limited partner interests in the Partnership.
The transactions involving the Partnership must be approved by a majority of the outstanding Oxford common units that are not owned by Oxford GP and its affiliates and by a majority of the outstanding subordinated units. The Partnership has filed a proxy statement with the SEC for review and it is anticipated that the unitholder vote will be held in December. Upon receiving unitholder approval, all of the transactions are expected to be closed concurrent with the debt refinancing. It is anticipated that the transactions will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2014.
Subsequent Event
The Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiary, Oxford Mining Company, LLC (“OMC”), entered into an agreement with Harrison Resources, LLC (“Harrison”) and CONSOL of Ohio LLC (“CONSOL”) under which Harrison redeemed all of CONSOL’s interest in Harrison. Harrison had been a joint venture owned 51% by OMC and 49% by CONSOL, and as a result of the redemption OMC owns 100% of Harrison. Harrison acquired 876,000 tons of coal reserves from a CONSOL affiliate, and also options to purchase an aggregate of 5.6 million additional tons of coal reserves from a CONSOL affiliate. These tons are in addition to the 1.7 million tons of coal reserves already owned by Harrison. These transactions were effective as of October 1, 2014.
Liquidity
In August 2014, Oxford received legal settlement proceeds of $19.5 million, compensating the Partnership for lost profits on coal sales from the wrongful termination of a coal supply agreement with a former customer. Concurrently, Oxford amended the first lien credit facility term loan to allow the Partnership to retain $5.0 million of the proceeds in addition to the $1.9 million of professional fees and other collection costs recovered, thus enhancing liquidity by $6.9 million. Pursuant to the Financing Agreements, as amended, the balance of the proceeds, or $12.6 million, was used to make a prepayment of principal on the Partnership's first lien debt.
As of September 30, 2014, the Partnership had $7.5 million in cash and $6.7 million in available borrowing capacity on its revolving credit line. Additionally, Oxford has an option under the second lien credit facility for an additional $10 million term loan if requested and approved by the issuing second lien lender.

2014 Guidance
The Partnership provides the following updated guidance for 2014 based on its current industry outlook:

The average selling price is anticipated to be in the range of $52.25 per ton to $52.75 per ton, with an anticipated average cost in the range of $45.35 per ton to $45.85 per ton.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $53.5 million to $56.5 million, including the $19.5 million of legal settlement proceeds representing lost profits on coal sales from the wrongful termination of a coal supply agreement with a former customer.
The Partnership anticipates capital expenditures of between $19.0 million and $20.0 million.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to gauge operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, change in fair value of warrants, impairment and restructuring expenses, gain or loss on disposal of assets, amortization of below-market coal sales contracts, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, non-cash reclamation and mine closure expense, and certain non-recurring revenues and costs. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe it is useful to management and others, such as investors and lenders, in evaluating our financial performance without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes; our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, make distributions and fund capital expenditures; and our compliance with certain credit facility financial covenants. Because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA the same way, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

2 Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to gauge operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net income or loss before deducting impairment and restructuring expenses, gain or loss on disposal of assets, change in fair value of warrants, legal settlement proceeds and cost, debt financing expenses and write-off of deferred refinancing costs. Although Adjusted Net Loss is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe it is useful to management and others, such as investors and lenders, in evaluating our financial performance without regard to items which are primarily non-cash and our restructuring efforts which are not typical operating activities. Because not all companies calculate Adjusted Net Loss the same way, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

3 Per ton amounts are calculated by dividing the related amount on the financial statements by the number of tons sold. Although per ton amounts are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe they are useful to management and others, such as investors and lenders, in evaluating performance because they are widely used in the coal industry as a measure to evaluate a company's sales performance and control over costs. Because not all companies calculate these measures the same way, our calculations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
