­CorEnergy Releases First Quarter 2015 Results

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – May 11, 2015 – CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

First Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events

- Declared a 3.8% increase in the dividend to $0.135 for first quarter, payable on May 29, 2015, consistent with guidance for annualized common stock dividends of no less than $0.54 per share for 2015
- Achieved Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $.15 per share, consistent with 2014 pro forma AFFO per share
- Raised $56 million in gross proceeds through Series A Preferred offering in January 2015
- Increased liquidity to approximately $116.6 million available for future investment
- Reiterated CorEnergy’s long-term annual growth target of 3-5% in common stock dividends

“CorEnergy met expectations in the first quarter of 2015, tracking with pro forma results previously reported for the acquisitions completed in 2014. Our revenue model is based on predictable long-term contracts for access to mission-critical energy infrastructure. We believe this model provides our investors with reliable, utility-like dividend predictability in a tax-friendly REIT structure,” said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy. “We are introducing the term ‘Contribution Margin’ to refer to Total Lease Revenue, Security Distributions, Financing Revenue and Operating Results as reported in our annual and quarterly MD&A.1 This metric provides added transparency to earnings after direct operating costs and before corporate costs.”

Mr. Schulte continued, “CorEnergy’s strong liquidity today positions us to take advantage of acquisition opportunities in midstream assets as the U.S. energy sector responds to a lower energy price environment. We expect accretive acquisitions to support our dividend growth target for the next several years, while the upside from our contracts should support dividend growth over the longer term.”

Quarterly Performance Summary

We believe our first quarter results are representative of quarterly expectations for the remainder of 2015, consistent with the 2014 pro forma data previously presented, unless we complete additional investments or acquisitions. First quarter 2015 and first quarter 2014 results are not directly comparable, due to CorEnergy’s acquisitions and capital markets activity in 2014 and early 2015.

First quarter 2015 Contribution Margin1 of $11.8 million was consistent with the pro forma results disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for 2014. Expenses were also consistent, resulting in first quarter Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $7.0 million, $.15 per share, providing coverage of our common stock dividend of $0.135.

NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures presented in accordance with the guidelines for calculation and reporting issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO as we have presented it here, and historically, also excludes the impact of transactions related to the Company’s legacy BDC securities holdings. The Company considers FFO an important supplemental measure of operating performance that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. CorEnergy defines AFFO as FFO plus transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, deferred leasing costs, above-market rent, and certain costs of a nonrecurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any), amortization of debt premium and other adjustments as deemed appropriate. Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. A reconciliation of NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO, as presented, to Net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders is included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

As of March 31, 2015, CorEnergy had approximately $116.6 million available for future investment. The January 2015 public offering of perpetual Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock strengthened CorEnergy’s balance sheet by repaying $32 million of indebtedness under its revolving line of credit and adding to cash. The ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization is well under the long-term target of 25-50%.

Portfolio Update

Among the asset-specific developments in the first quarter:

Pinedale Liquids Gathering System

Under the Pinedale Liquids Gathering System (LGS) lease to a subsidiary of Ultra Petroleum, the 2015 annual adjustment for changes in the Consumer Price Index resulted in an increase in quarterly rent of $85 thousand for the gathering system in Wyoming. The increase took effect in the first quarter.

MoGas Pipeline System

The MoGas Pipeline System, an interstate natural gas pipeline extending from the St. Louis region into central Missouri, produced $3.6 million in revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the first full quarter since CorEnergy acquired the MoGas system in November 2014.

Portland Terminal Facility

The Portland Terminal Facility in Portland, Oregon, is generating increased base rent from operator Arc Terminals triggered by progress of construction projects announced when CorEnergy acquired the site in January 2014. As of March 31, 2015, CorEnergy had invested approximately $7.8 million of a planned $10 million, increasing the rent to approximately $480 thousand per month.

Omega Pipeline/Mowood

Omega Pipeline's agreement with the Department of Defense ("DOD") to serve the natural gas needs of the US Army's Fort Leonard Wood was set to expire on January 31, 2015, with a competitive bidding process for a new 10-year contract. On January 28, 2015, Omega received a 6-month bridge extension to continue providing natural gas until a new agreement is reached. Omega currently expects, based on statements from DOD and knowledge of the local market, to reach agreement by the end of the second quarter of 2015 for an additional 10-year term.

Salt Water Disposal Assets

First-quarter 2015 revenue was approximately $660 thousand from interest received on financing notes provided in 2014 to Black Bison Water Services, which operates salt water disposal wells in Wyoming, and SWD Enterprises, a subsidiary of Four Wood Energy Partners, which operates a salt water disposal facility in North Dakota.

Subsequent Events

The Eastern Interconnect Project (EIP) was leased to Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) through
March 31, 2015. As previously announced that lease terminated on April 1, 2015, with the sale of CorEnergy’s 40% interest in the power transmission property for cash of $7.7 million. Payment was received on April 1, 2015.

Due to reduced drilling activity in Black Bison Water Services’ area of operations, Black Bison requested, and the Company has granted, a waiver of certain financial covenants. One of those waivers will remain in place through December 31, 2015. In addition, CorEnergy has not yet received the first amortization payment from Black Bison, which was due March 31, 2015. The Company has no reason to believe the Black Bison are not fully collectible as of March 31, 2015.


­­Outlook

CorEnergy expects its portfolio of energy infrastructure assets – the Pinedale LGS, MoGas Pipeline, Portland Terminal Facility, Omega Pipeline and salt water disposal assets – to produce stable, recurring revenues in 2015. CorEnergy believes the cash flows from these holdings in 2015 will support annualized dividend payments of no less than $0.54 per share, as well as the Company’s long-term dividend growth target of 3-5% annually.
 
CorEnergy is pursuing a broadening set of opportunities in the pipeline, which provide the potential to reach $50 to $250 million per project type. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. The Company expects to utilize balance sheet resources, including prudent leverage when available, supplemented with equity issuance if accretive to long-term shareholder value through increased dividends and diversification of assets.

Dividend Policy

A first quarter common stock cash dividend of $0.135 was declared on April 29, 2015, and is payable on May 29, 2015. CorEnergy intends to maintain a quarterly common stock dividend payment cycle of February, May, August and November. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.

For the 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock, the initial cash dividend of $0.635069444 per depositary share was declared on April 29, 2015, and is payable on June 1, 2015 (as May 31, 2015 is not a business day). The preferred stock dividends subsequently are to be paid on or about the last day of August, November, February and May, totaling $1.84375 per depositary share for each full year, or 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per depositary share.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein are "forward-looking statements." Although CorEnergy believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect.
