Atlas Energy, L.P. (NYSE: ATLS) (“Atlas Energy” or “ATLS”) today reported operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2013.
Edward E. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Energy, stated, “For the Atlas Energy group of companies, 2013 was a good year, although not without challenge, and 2014 should be even better. Our E&P operations at Atlas Resource grew substantially in 2013 both from development in attractive basins, and from accretive acquisitions, and we anticipate future favorable developments organically and corporately. Atlas Pipeline now has state-of-the-art processing plants, growing rapidly, easily scalable, located in the greatest NGL growth areas in North America --- in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins in Texas, and in the SCOOP and Mississippi Lime areas in Oklahoma. We look to 2014 --- and to 2015 --- with high confidence.”
ATLS declared a cash distribution of $0.46 per limited partner unit for the fourth quarter 2013, which represents a $0.16 per unit, or 53%, increase over the prior year fourth quarter. The fourth quarter 2013 ATLS distribution was paid on February 19, 2014 to holders of record as of February 10, 2014. ATLS anticipates cash distributions to be $1.95 to $2.45 per common unit for full year 2014, based on distribution guidance provided by its subsidiaries, Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) (“ARP”) and Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: APL) (“APL”).

Recent Events
GeoMet Transaction
On February 14, 2014, ARP announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 70 billion cubic feet equivalents of natural gas proved reserves in West Virginia and Virginia from GeoMet, Inc. (OTCQB: GMET) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “GeoMet”) for $107 million, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to ARP’s distributable cash flow per unit. The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments to implement the effective date. The transaction is subject to, among other items, approval from GeoMet’s stockholders.
ARP expects to benefit from the mature, low-decline production from the acquired assets, which will complement its existing oil and gas base. The assets consist of approximately proved reserves in West Virginia and Virginia, and are 100% natural gas and proved developed. Current net production on the assets is approximately 22 million cubic feet equivalents per day (“Mmcfed”) from over 400 active wells, with a current expected decline rate of approximately 10-12%. Current production costs include lease operating costs of approximately $1.20 per thousand cubic feet (“mcf”), production and ad valorem taxes of approximately 10%, and transportation and gathering costs of approximately $0.40/mcf.
ARP’s New Monthly Distribution Policy
ARP declared an initial monthly distribution of $0.1933 per common unit for the month of January 2014 on February 24, 2014, which is payable on March 17, 2014 to holders of record as of March 7, 2014. ARP previously announced that its board of directors had approved the modification of its distribution payment practice to a monthly distribution program. Future monthly cash distributions will be paid within 45 days following the end of each respective monthly period. ARP management and the board of directors determined that a monthly distribution policy more closely aligned the realization and distribution of cash flow with investors’ interests.
Atlas Energy’s Arkoma Production
ATLS had net production of approximately 12.2 million cubic feet equivalents per day in the fourth quarter 2013 primarily from its Arkoma assets, with production margin of approximately $2.4 million in the period. ATLS acquired this production in July 2013.
ARP’s Fourth Quarter 2013 Highlights
- Average net daily production for the fourth quarter 2013 was 259.8 Mmcfed, an increase of approximately 97% from the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in net production from the fourth quarter 2012 was due primarily to the acquisition of producing assets from EP Energy in July 2013, located in the Raton Basin (New Mexico), Black Warrior Basin (Alabama) and County Line region (Wyoming). Production also increased from additional wells connected in the fourth quarter 2013 in several of ARP’s key operating areas, including the Mississippi Lime and Marble Falls.
- During 2013, ARP continued development on its acreage positions located in several attractive U.S. oil and natural gas basins. ARP turned into line the following number of gross wells per region during 2013: 82 wells in the Marble Falls/Barnett Shale region; 21 wells in the Mississippi Lime play in northwestern Oklahoma; 9 wells in the Marcellus Shale (8 of which were in Lycoming County, PA); and 5 wells in the Utica Shale play in Harrison County, OH.
- In the fourth quarter 2013, ARP experienced adverse weather conditions in several of its operating areas, namely in Texas. As a result, oil and gas production from certain areas was restricted for periods of time, which directly affected realized production margin for the fourth quarter 2013. ARP has estimated the impact was approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million to Distributable Cash Flow from weather-related issues in the quarter.

APL’s Fourth Quarter 2013 Highlights
During the fourth quarter 2013, APL increased inlet volumes on its gathering and processing systems in the Mid Continent region, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma. APL processed an average of over 1.38 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcfd”) of natural gas in the fourth quarter 2013 amongst its WestOK, WestTX, Velma, Arkoma and SouthTX systems, approximately 38% higher than the prior year comparable quarter’s volumes. APL processed over 118,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) of natural gas liquids generated from its five processing systems in highly prolific oil & gas basins.

Hedge Positions
In connection with its acquisition from EP Energy in July 2013 of natural gas proved reserves in the Arkoma Basin (“Arkoma Assets”), ATLS entered into direct natural gas hedge positions for a substantial portion of its production through 2018. A summary of ATLS’s derivative positions as of February 27, 2014 is provided in the financial tables of this release.
Corporate Expenses
- Cash general and administrative expense, excluding amounts attributable to APL and ARP, was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter 2013, which was generally consistent with the third quarter 2013. Please refer to the consolidating statements of operations provided in the financial tables of this release.
- Cash interest expense, excluding amounts attributable to APL and ARP, was $4.1 million for the fourth quarter 2013, an increase of $0.7 million compared to the third quarter 2013. The increase was due a full quarter’s interest expense on ATLS’ $240 million term loan credit facility, which was entered into in July 2013 to fund the acquisition of the Arkoma Assets from EP Energy and the purchase of the Class C convertible preferred units from ARP. As of December 31, 2013, ATLS had $240 million of total debt, with no borrowings outstanding under its $50 million revolving credit facility, and a cash position of approximately $18 million.

(6) | Production costs include labor to operate the wells and related equipment, repairs and maintenance, materials and supplies, property taxes, severance taxes, insurance, production overhead and transportation and compression expenses. These amounts exclude the effects of ARP’s proportionate share of lease operating expenses associated with subordination of production revenue to investor partners within ARP’s investor partnerships. Including the effects of these costs, total lease operating expenses per Mcfe were $0.94 per Mcfe ($1.41 per Mcfe for total production costs) and $0.71 per Mcfe ($1.02 per Mcfe for total production costs) for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.00 per Mcfe ($1.42 per Mcfe for total production costs) and $0.58 per Mcfe ($0.94 per Mcfe for total production costs) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |

_________________________________________ | ||
(1) | Although not prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), ATLS’ management believes the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow is relevant and useful because it helps ATLS’ investors understand its operating performance, allows for easier comparison of its results with other master limited partnerships (“MLP”), and is a critical component in the determination of quarterly cash distributions. As a MLP, ATLS is required to distribute 100% of available cash, as defined in its limited partnership agreement (“Available Cash”) and subject to cash reserves established by its general partner, to investors on a quarterly basis. ATLS refers to Available Cash prior to the establishment of cash reserves as DCF. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. While ATLS’s management believes that its methodology of calculating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF is generally consistent with the common practice of other MLPs, such metrics may not be consistent and, as such, may not be comparable to measures reported by other MLPs, who may use other adjustments related to their specific businesses. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are supplemental financial measures used by ATLS’ management and by external users of ATLS’ financial statements such as investors, lenders under its credit facilities, research analysts, rating agencies and others to assess its: | |
-- Operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships and other companies in the upstream and midstream energy sectors, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; | ||
-- Ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support its distributions to unitholders; | ||
-- Ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expansion; | ||
-- The viability of potential acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects; and | ||
-- Ability to comply with financial covenants in its credit facility, which is calculated based upon Adjusted EBITDA. | ||
DCF is determined by calculating EBITDA, adjusting it for non-cash, non-recurring and other items to achieve Adjusted EBITDA, and then deducting cash interest expense and maintenance capital expenditures. ATLS defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus the following adjustments: | ||
-- Interest expense; | ||
-- Income tax expense; | ||
-- Depreciation, depletion and amortization. | ||
ATLS defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus the following adjustments: | ||
-- Cash distributions paid by ARP and APL within 45 days after the end of the respective quarter, based upon their distributable cash flow generated during that quarter; | ||
-- Asset impairments; | ||
-- Acquisition and related costs; | ||
-- Non-cash stock compensation; | ||
-- (Gains) losses on asset disposal; | ||
-- Cash proceeds received from monetization of derivative transactions; | ||
-- Amortization of premiums paid on swaption derivative contracts; and | ||
-- Other items. | ||
ATLS adjusts DCF for non-cash, non-recurring and other items for the sole purpose of evaluating its cash distribution for the quarterly period, with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA adjusted in the same manner for consistency. ATLS defines DCF as Adjusted EBITDA less the following adjustments: | ||
-- Cash interest expense; and | ||
-- Maintenance capital expenditures. | ||
(2) | Represents the E&P Operations Adjusted EBITDA generated and maintenance capital expenditures incurred by ATLS on a stand-alone basis prior to the transfer of its E&P assets to ARP on March 5, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2012. | |
(3) | Represents the cash distribution paid by ARP, APL and its new Development Subsidiary within 45 days after the end of each quarter, based upon the distributable cash flow generated during the respective quarter. | |
(4) | Production from oil and gas assets naturally decline in future periods and, as such, ATLS recognizes the estimated capitalized cost of stemming such decline in production margin for the purpose of stabilizing its DCF and cash distributions, which it refers to as maintenance capital expenditures. ATLS calculates the estimate of maintenance capital expenditures by first multiplying its forecasted future full year production margin by its expected aggregate production decline of proved developed producing wells. Maintenance capital expenditures are then the estimated capitalized cost of wells that will generate an estimated first year margin equivalent to the production margin decline, assuming such wells are connected on the first day of the calendar year. ATLS does not incur specific capital expenditures expressly for the purpose of maintaining or increasing production margin, but such amounts are a hypothetical subset of wells it expects to drill in future periods on undeveloped acreage already leased. Estimated capitalized cost of wells included within maintenance capital expenditures are also based upon relevant factors, including utilization of public forward commodity exchange prices, current estimates for regional pricing differentials, estimated labor and material rates and other production costs. Generally, estimates for maintenance capital expenditures in the current year are the sum of the estimate calculated in the prior year plus estimates for the decline in production margin from wells connected during the current year and production acquired through acquisitions. ATLS considers expansion capital expenditures to be any capital expenditure costs expended that are not maintenance capital expenditures – generally, this will include expenditures to increase, rather than maintain, production margin in future periods, as well as land, gathering and processing, and other non-drilling capital expenditures. | |
(5) | Swaption derivative contracts grant ATLS the option to enter into a swap derivative transaction to hedge future production period sales prices for a stated option period, which generally have a duration of a few months and commences upon entering into the derivative contract, in return for an upfront premium. The amounts included within the reconciliation reflect the amortization of premiums ATLS paid to enter into swaption derivative contracts for certain acquired volumes over the option period. Generally, ATLS enters into swaption derivative contracts to hedge acquired volumes after the announcement of the signed definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire the oil and gas properties, but before it closes on the transaction, as its senior secured revolving credit agreement does not allow it to hedge production volume until it owns such volumes. ATLS excludes such costs in its determination of DCF, Adjusted EBITDA and cash distributions for the respective period as they are specific to the related transaction. | |
(6) | Excludes non-cash stock compensation expense and certain non-recurring spinoff costs and acquisition and related costs. | |
(7) | Excludes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. | |
(8) | These amounts reflect net cash proceeds received from the effective date through the closing date of the EP Energy assets acquired, less estimated and pro forma amounts of maintenance capital expenditures and financing costs. The management of ATLS believes these amounts are critical in its evaluation of Distributable Cash Flow and cash distributions for the period. Under GAAP, such amounts are characterized as purchase price adjustments and are reflected in the net purchase price paid for the acquired assets, rather than reflected as components of net income or loss for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2013, such amounts include pro forma net cash generated by the EP Energy assets of $3.8 million from April 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013, less pro forma interest expense of $1.5 million and estimated maintenance capital expenditures of $0.5 million. | |
(9) | Including the discretionary adjustments by the Board of Directors of the General Partner in the determination of quarterly cash distributions, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $28.2 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $95.1 million and $56.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
(10) | Represents the cash distribution paid within 50 days after the end of each quarter, based upon the distributable cash flow generated during the respective quarter. | |
(11) | ATLS seeks to at least maintain its current cash distribution in future quarterly periods, and expects to only increase such cash distributions when future Distributable Cash Flow amounts allow for it and are expected to be sustained. ATLS’ determination of quarterly cash distributions and its resulting determination of the amount of excess (shortfall) those cash distributions generate in comparison to Distributable Cash Flow are based upon its assessment of numerous factors which affect it, ARP and APL and the cash distributions it receives from these subsidiaries, including but not limited to future commodity price and interest rate movements, variability of operating asset performance, weather effects, and financial leverage. ATLS also considers its historical trailing four quarters of excess or shortfalls and future forecasted excess or shortfalls that its cash distributions generate in comparison to Distributable Cash Flow due to the variability of its Distributable Cash Flow generated each quarter, which could cause it to have more or less excess (shortfalls) generated from quarter to quarter. | |
