Item 2.02 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
and
Item 7.01 
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 4, 2009, Penn Virginia Corporation (“PVA”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measures of (i) operating cash flow, (ii) net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, and (ii) net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, per diluted share are presented in the press release.  In each case, the amounts included in the calculations of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  As part of the press release information, we have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that investors can more accurately understand our financial results if they have access to the same financial measures used by management.  Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities.  We believe that operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an energy company's ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund investing activities, service debt and pay dividends.  Operating cash flow is widely used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the energy industry.  Operating cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP.  Operating cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, represents net income (loss) attributable to PVA adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, drilling rig standby charges, impairments, gains and losses on the sale of assets, and net income of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (“PVR”) allocated to unvested PVR restricted units awarded as equity compensation that we hold until vesting.  We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, as well as companies within the natural gas midstream industry.  We use this information for comparative purposes within these industries.  Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income attributable to PVA.

 
 

 

Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, per diluted share represents net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding diluted shares during the period.  Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, per diluted share is used as a supplemental financial measure by us and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others.  Our method of computing net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, per diluted share may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, as well as companies within the natural gas midstream industry, and may be computed differently by us in different contexts.

In addition, to further assist investors and professional research analysts in the analysis of our financial statements, we have provided a conversion of our consolidated financial statements to non-GAAP equity method financial statements.  Equity method financial statements represent our consolidated financial statements adjusted to exclude amounts attributable to Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (“PVG”) which otherwise are included in our consolidated financial statements.  These amounts are instead included in the equity method financial statements as equity earnings in affiliates, equity investment and distributions.  We believe equity method financial statements provide useful information to allow the public to more easily discern PVG’s effect on our consolidated financial results.
 
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the above information and the press release are being furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and exhibit be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2009 RESULTS

RADNOR, PA (BusinessWire) November 4, 2009 – Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and provided an update of full-year 2009 guidance.

Third Quarter 2009 Highlights
Third quarter 2009 results, with comparisons to third quarter 2008 results, included the following:
 
 
·
Quarterly oil and gas production of 134.9 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day, or 12.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe), a six percent increase as compared to oil and gas production of 127.1 MMcfe per day, or 11.7 Bcfe;
 
 
·
Increased 2009 guidance for production to a range of 49.0 to 51.0 Bcfe, or six to nine percent higher than 2008, as a result of better than expected third quarter volumes;
 
 
·
Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure, of $64.0 million as compared to operating cash flow of $97.5 million;
 
 
·
Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the effects of the non-cash change in derivatives fair value, drilling rig standby charges, impairments and gains or losses that affect comparability to the prior year period, of $11.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $14.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share;
 
 
·
Net loss attributable to PVA of $79.9 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $123.0 million, or $2.88 per diluted share.  The third quarter of 2009 included an $87.9 million non-cash impairment charge on non-core properties held for sale, while the third quarter of 2008 included $154.9 million of a non-cash change in derivatives fair value and gains on the sale of assets; and
 
 
·
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we completed the syndication of a new 3-year senior secured revolving credit facility with an initial undrawn commitment of $300 million supported by a $420 million approved borrowing base, a 14 percent increase over the current $367 million borrowing base.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP-based measures appear in the financial tables later in this release.

 

 

Management Comment
A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Although declines in commodity prices and a decision to sell non-core properties in the Gulf Coast region impacted our financial results, we are pleased with our third quarter 2009 operational results.  As detailed in our separate operational update, third quarter production was better than anticipated and, accordingly, we have increased full year 2009 production guidance.  In addition, due to the improved outlook for natural gas, recent positive results in our core plays and our improved financial liquidity, we have resumed operated drilling in the Lower Bossier (Haynesville) Shale and Granite Wash plays.

“During the third quarter of 2009, we raised approximately $118 million from the sale of PVG units.  As a result, we have substantially improved our financial liquidity, with $300 million of unused availability on our revolving credit facility and over $90 million of cash on hand.  Furthermore, we expect to complete the sale of non-core properties, primarily along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast, during the fourth quarter of 2009 which will further augment our cash liquidity.  The net effect of both transactions is very positive to our cash and liquidity situation and better positions our company for future growth as a more focused, resource play-driven exploration and production company.

“Our commodity price hedges provided cash flow protection, increasing third quarter effective price realizations from $3.45 per Mcf to $4.90 per Mcf for natural gas.  For the fourth quarter of 2009, we have hedged approximately 82 percent of our estimated natural gas production at average respective floor and ceiling prices of $6.41 and $8.11 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), and 57 percent of our estimated crude oil production at average floor and ceiling prices of approximately $80 and $120 per barrel.  For 2010, we have hedged approximately 60 percent of our estimated natural gas production at average respective floor and ceiling prices of $6.09 and $8.19 per MMBtu, assuming flat production from the fourth quarter of 2009.  In addition to the cash flow support our hedges have provided, our unit cash costs have continued to improve, including a 15 percent reduction from the prior year quarter and in line with the second quarter of 2009 in spite of the sequential production decline.

“In addition to our core oil and gas exploration and production business segment, we own 51 percent of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG), which was reduced from 77 percent by our sale of PVG units during the third quarter.  PVG owns the general partner of Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) and is PVR’s largest limited partner unitholder.  As the owner of the general partner and largest unitholder of PVG, we report our financial results on a consolidated basis with the financial results of PVG.  At current distribution rates, which have not changed since the third quarter of 2008, our ownership of PVG and PVR provides approximately $30 million of annualized pre-tax cash flow to us, which we re-deploy into our oil and gas segment.”

Oil and Gas Segment Review
Third quarter oil and gas production grew six percent to 134.9 MMcfe per day, or 12.4 Bcfe, from 127.1 MMcfe per day, or 11.7 Bcfe, in the third quarter of 2008, and was nine percent lower than 148.9 MMcfe per day, or 13.6 Bcfe in the second quarter of 2009.  See our separate operational update news release dated October 30, 2009 for a more detailed discussion of operations for the oil and gas segment.

During the third quarter of 2009, oil and gas segment operating income decreased by $203.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter to an operating loss of $114.6 million.  The decrease was due to a $92.4 million increase in impairments, a $101.0 million, or 64 percent, decrease in revenues, a $7.8 million, or 93 percent, increase in exploration expense and a $2.5 million, or four percent, increase in other operating expenses.  The decrease in revenues was due to sharp declines in realized commodity prices before considering support from related hedges – a 66 percent decrease in the natural gas price, a 44 percent decrease in the oil price and a 55 percent decrease in the price of natural gas liquids (NGLs) – offset in part by the six percent increase in oil and gas production.

 

 

The $102.7 million increase in operating expenses was due to an $87.9 million non-cash impairment charge on assets held for sale pertaining to the Gulf Coast region, a $6.7 million increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense, a $4.5 million impairment charge primarily related to Bakken properties in North Dakota and $3.7 million of rig standby charges.  These increases in operating expenses were partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in production taxes due to lower commodity prices and a $1.8 decrease in lease operating expenses despite the production increase. The impairment charge on the Gulf Coast properties relates to a reduction in the carrying value of the assets to a level which is in line with the expected proceeds from their sale, expected during the fourth quarter.

In the third quarter of 2009, total oil and gas segment expenses, excluding the impairment and rig standby charges, increased by $6.6 million, or 11 percent, to $74.3 million, or $5.99 per Mcfe produced, from $67.7 million, or $5.79 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2008, as discussed below:
 
 
·
Third quarter 2009 cash operating expenses of $22.6 million, or $1.82 per Mcfe produced, were $4.1 million, or 15 percent, lower than the $26.7 million, or $2.29 per Mcfe produced, in the third quarter of 2008.  The decrease in unit cash operating expenses was primarily due to lower taxes other than income and lower lease operating expense, as discussed below:
 
 
-
Lease operating expense decreased 17 percent to $1.07 per Mcfe from $1.29 per Mcfe primarily due to decreased overall service costs due to sharply lower commodity prices and reduced water disposal and other costs as compared to the prior year quarter;
 
 
-
Taxes other than income decreased 39 percent to $0.34 per Mcfe from $0.56 per Mcfe primarily due to decreased severance taxes related to sharply lower commodity prices; and
 
 
-
Segment general and administrative (G&A) expense decreased seven percent to $0.41 per Mcfe as compared to $0.44 per Mcfe primarily due to the production increase.
 
 
·
Exploration expense, excluding drilling rig standby charges discussed below, increased 49 percent to $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to $8.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased amortization of unproved properties related to higher leasehold acquisition costs in our East Texas, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions.
 
 
·
DD&A expense increased by $6.7 million, or 20 percent, to $39.3 million, or $3.17 per Mcfe, in the third quarter of 2009 from $32.7 million, or $2.79 per Mcfe, in the prior year quarter.  The overall increase in DD&A expense was primarily due to the production increase and a higher depletion rate per unit of production.  The higher depletion rate was primarily due to (i) higher drilling costs on our new horizontal plays and (ii) commodity price and performance-related downward reserve revisions in the non-core Gulf Coast fields, expected to be sold during the fourth quarter of 2009, and on early-stage wells in the Lower Bossier (Haynesville) Shale play.

In the first quarter of 2009, we opted to defer the drilling of wells in several of our plays due to unfavorable economic conditions.  As a result, we amended certain drilling rig contracts to delay commencement of drilling until January 2010.  In the third quarter of 2009, we expensed approximately $3.7 million for lump sum delay fees, minimum daily standby fees and demobilization fees expected to be paid during the standby period.  Continued deferral of the rigs could result in additional standby expense of $0.5 to $1.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2009.

During the third quarter of 2009, we incurred approximately $92.4 million of impairments.  These charges were primarily related to the $87.9 million write-down in value of proved properties in our Gulf Coast region to a carrying value that is in line with the expected proceeds from the anticipated sale of these assets, expected during the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

 

Coal & Natural Resource Management and
Natural Gas Midstream Segment Review (PVR and PVG)
As the owner of the general partner and largest unitholder of PVG, we report our financial results on a consolidated basis with the financial results of PVG.  A conversion of the GAAP-compliant financial statements (“As reported”) to the equity method of accounting (“As adjusted”) is included in the “Conversion to Non-GAAP Equity Method” table in this release.  Using the equity method, PVG’s results are reduced to a few line items and the results from oil and gas operations are therefore highlighted.  We believe that the financial statements presented using the equity method are less complex and more comparable to those of other oil and gas exploration and production companies.  Financial and operational results and full-year 2009 guidance for each of PVR’s segments are provided in the financial tables later in this release.  In addition, operational updates for these segments are discussed in more detail in PVR’s news release dated November 4, 2009.  Please visit PVR’s website, www.pvresource.com, under “For Investors” for a copy of the release.

During the third quarter of 2009, we sold 10.0 million units of PVG to the public for net proceeds of $118.1 million.  The net proceeds were used to repay the entire outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and the remainder of approximately $68 million was held as cash.  As a result, our position in PVG was reduced from 30.1 million units, or 77 percent, to 20.1 million units, or 51 percent.

As previously announced, on November 18, 2009, PVG will pay to unitholders of record as of November 6, 2009 a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38 per unit, or an annualized rate of $1.52 per unit, covering the period of July 1 through September 30, 2009.  The distribution remains unchanged from the distribution paid with respect to each of the previous four quarters.  As a result of PVG’s distribution, we will receive a cash distribution of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, or $30.5 million on an annualized basis.

Capital Resources, Credit Facility and Impact of Derivatives
We have completed the syndication of a new 3-year senior secured revolving credit facility with an initial undrawn commitment of $300 million supported by a $420 million approved borrowing base, a 14 percent increase over the current $367 million borrowing base.  The new facility is provided by a syndicate of 12 banks, led by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., with no individual bank holding more than ten percent of the total commitment.  Pricing for the new credit facility will be unchanged from the existing facility.  The credit facility will close subject to final document review by the bank group.

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $530.0 million ($496.4 million carrying value), consisting of $300 million ($291.4 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes due 2016 and $230.0 million ($204.9 million carrying value) of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2012 and no borrowings against our revolving credit facility.  The $32.0 million decrease in outstanding borrowings as compared to the $562.0 million at December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the repayment of revolver debt following a $64.9 million offering of PVA common shares in May 2009 and a $118.1 million offering of PVG common units in September 2009, as well as free cash flow during the third quarter of 2009, net of spending to fund our oil and gas capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, we had $300 million of unused availability on our revolving credit facility and over $90 million of cash on hand.

As of September 30, 2009, PVR had outstanding borrowings of $628.1 million under its $800 million revolving credit facility with remaining revolver borrowing capacity of $170.3 million.  The $60.0 million increase in outstanding PVR borrowings as compared to $568.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2008 was primarily due to PVR capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2009.

Consolidated interest expense increased from $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $22.8 million in the third quarter of 2009.  The increase was due to a higher interest rate on the senior unsecured notes PVA issued in June 2009 and higher average level of outstanding borrowings during the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year quarter.

 

 

Due to decreases in natural gas and crude oil prices experienced during the third quarter, the mark-to-market valuation of our and PVR’s open hedging positions resulted in derivatives income of $2.5 million in the third quarter as compared to derivatives income of $125.1 million in the prior year quarter.  Included in derivatives income for the third quarter of 2009 was $0.3 million of income related to our oil and gas segment and $2.8 million of expense related to PVR.  Third quarter 2009 cash settlements of our oil and gas derivatives resulted in net cash receipts of $15.8 million, as compared to $5.7 million of net cash payments in the same quarter of 2008.  PVR’s third quarter 2009 cash settlements of commodity and interest rate derivatives result in net cash payments of $0.3 million, as compared to $14.1 million of net cash payments in the same quarter of 2008.

Guidance for 2009
See the Guidance Table included in this release for guidance estimates for full-year 2009.  These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, which were discussed in our operational update, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as our and PVR’s operating environments change.

Third Quarter 2009 Financial and Operational Results Conference Call
A conference call and webcast, during which management will discuss third quarter 2009 financial and operational results, is scheduled for Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. ET.  Prepared remarks by A. James Dearlove, President and Chief Executive Officer, will be followed by a question and answer period.  Investors and analysts may participate via phone by dialing 1-866-630-9986 five to ten minutes before the scheduled start of the conference call and using the passcode 4836740, or via webcast by logging on to our website at www.pennvirginia.com at least 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the call to download and install any necessary audio software.  A telephonic replay will be available approximately two hours after the call for two weeks by dialing toll free 888-203-1112 (international: 719-457-0820) and using the replay code 4836740.  In addition, an on-demand replay of the webcast will also be available for two weeks at PVG’s or PVR’s websites beginning 24 hours after the webcast.

(a) Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities.  We believe that operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an energy company's ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund investing activities, service debt and pay dividends.  Operating cash flow is widely used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the energy industry.  Operating cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP.  Operating cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

(b) Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, represents net income (loss) attributable to PVA adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, drilling rig standby charges, impairments, gains and losses on the sale of assets, and net income of PVR allocated to unvested PVR restricted units awarded as equity compensation that we hold until vesting.  We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, as well as companies within the natural gas midstream industry.  We use this information for comparative purposes within these industries.  Net income (loss) attributable to PVA, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income attributable to PVA.

We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, oil and gas segment operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $17.4 million.  In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, oil and gas segment operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $1.8 million.  This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels.  These estimated changes in gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.

(1) A three-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put.  The sold call establishes the maximum price that we will receive for the contracted commodity volumes.  The purchased put establishes the minimum price that we will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price (i.e., NYMEX) plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price.

We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2009 would decrease or increase by approximately $2.5 million.  In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by approximately $2.4 million.  This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels.  These estimated changes in gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.
 
(1) PVR’s frac spread is the spread between the purchase price for the natural gas PVR purchases from producers and the sale price for the NGLs that PVR sells after processing.  PVR hedges against the variability in its frac spread by entering into swap derivative contracts to sell NGLs forward at a predetermined swap price and to purchase an equivalent volume of natural gas forward on an MMBtu basis.
 
(c) 
Third quarter 2009 average interest rate excludes effect of $2.4 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income related to interest rate swaps.
