Natural Resource Partners L.P. Reports 2011 Results and Issues 2012 Guidance
HOUSTON, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NYSE: NRP) today reported record revenues of $377.7 million for the full year 2011 and record distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, of $274.4 million. Due to a non-cash impairment of two properties totaling $161.3 million, or $1.49 per unit, net income for 2011 totaled $0.50 per unit. Before considering the non-cash impairments, net income per unit rose 29% to $1.99, over the 2010 results of $1.54 per unit. Reconciliations of all non-GAAP numbers are included in the tables at the end of the release.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, NRP reported revenues of $97.7 million, an increase of 26% over the fourth quarter 2010, resulting in a 6% increase in distributable cash flow to $79.6 million. Due to a $70.4 million impairment recorded for the Gatling Ohio property, NRP recorded a fourth quarter 2011 net loss of $0.13 per unit. Before considering the non-cash impairment, net income would have been $0.52 per unit, up 33% from the $0.39 per unit recorded for the fourth quarter 2010.
As reported in January, Gatling Ohio LLC notified NRP that it had idled its mine in Meigs County, Ohio due to adverse geologic conditions. Gatling is continuing to maintain the mine, and is evaluating various alternatives regarding the future of the mine, but has indicated that it does not anticipate any production from the mine in the near-term future. As a result, NRP recorded a $70.4 million non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter. This mine represents approximately 1% of NRP's 2011 revenues and is not included in NRP's 2012 guidance.
The impairment had the following impact on the fourth quarter:
-- $70.4 million increase in operating costs and expenses
-- $69.0 million decrease in net income attributable to the limited
partners
-- $0.65 per unit decrease in net income per limited partner unit
"NRP had a record year in 2011 for both revenues and distributable cash flow as a number of our lessees outperformed our expectations and we benefitted from strong markets for metallurgical coal. Our earnings, however, were impacted by the impairments that we were required to record on the two Gatling mines in Northern Appalachia. In spite of this unfortunate situation, we are pleased with our Cline relationship and the success of the Illinois mines," said Nick Carter, President and Chief Operating Officer. "While 2011 was a record year, we began to see a slow-down in the coal markets in the fourth quarter that is reflected in our fourth quarter results. While revenues in the fourth quarter rose 26% over 2010, we saw a 6% decline in revenues from the third quarter 2011. We anticipate continued near-term weakness in the coal markets as unseasonably warm weather, low natural gas prices and lower global demand for metallurgical coal continue to impact the coal markets. It is times like these that prove the value of maintaining a large cash balance, as well as the strength of our lessees."

Revenues
Full Year
Total revenues for the year climbed 25% over the 2010 period to a record $377.7 million due to significant increases in nearly all categories. Coal royalty revenues rose 26% to a record $279.2 million, predominantly due to an increase of $0.97 in the combined average royalty revenue per ton to $5.68 per ton and a 4% increase in total tonnage to 49.2 million tons. Production increases resulted primarily from a 5% increase in Appalachian production and a 22% increase in production in the Illinois Basin. While NRP saw increases in nearly all regions, the majority of the increase in coal royalty revenue per ton was due to the higher proportion of metallurgical coal sold in 2011 at much higher sales prices than in 2010. Metallurgical coal accounted for 34% of NRP's production and 45% of its coal royalty revenues for 2011 compared to 32% of production and 38% of coal royalty revenues in 2010.
Revenues other than coal royalty revenues increased $18.8 million from 2010 to $98.5 million due to increases in all categories except minimums recognized as revenue. Following is a discussion of the components generating the increases:
-- Oil and gas revenues increased $6.3 million primarily due to increased
production and additional lease bonuses associated with the BRP assets.
-- Revenues from infrastructure assets increased $6.0 million due to
additional throughput on both the coal processing and transportation
assets.
-- Aggregate revenues increased $2.5 million due to increases in production
on historical assets and new production on assets acquired in the last
year, including the BRP assets.
-- Other revenue increased $4.4 million due to increases in wheelage
income, gain on a reserve swap and other increases from miscellaneous
BRP assets.
-- Minimums recognized as revenue decreased $5.1 million due to $12.4
million of non-recoupable minimums recognized in 2010 on the Hillsboro
property, which were recoupable in 2011 and therefore not recognized as
revenue in 2011.
Fourth Quarter
Increases in every revenue item drove total revenues for the fourth quarter 2011 to climb 26% over the 2010 fourth quarter to $97.7 million. A $0.95 per ton increase in the average coal royalty revenue per ton generated a 19% increase in coal royalty revenues to $67.6 million.
Revenues other than coal royalty increased 43% over the fourth quarter 2010 to $30.0 million due mainly to a non-cash gain on a reserve swap of $3.0 million that is included in other income, increased minimums recognized as revenue and override royalty revenue.
Operating Expenses
Full Year
Total operating costs and expenses for 2011 were $273.5 million. Before considering impairment charges of $161.3 million, total operating costs and expenses for 2011 increased 7% over 2010 to $112.2 million due to increases in non-cash depreciation, depletion and amortization as a result of increases in production and throughput on transportation and infrastructure assets.
Fourth Quarter
Total operating costs and expenses for the fourth quarter totaled $97.7 million including an impairment charge of $70.4 million. Before considering the impairment, operating costs and expenses increased $2.6 million over 2010 to $27.3 million due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization as a result of increased production and throughput volumes.
Net income (loss)
Full Year
Net income attributable to the limited partners for 2011 was $52.9 million. Before considering the impairment, net income to the limited partners increased $85.1 million, or 68%, when compared to 2010, predominantly due to improved revenues of $76.3 million. Also included is a $26.0 million improvement due to the elimination of the incentive distribution rights in 2010.
Net income per unit for 2011, before considering impairments, rose by 29% over 2010 to $1.99 per unit, despite a 29% increase in the number of units outstanding.
Fourth Quarter
Net loss to the limited partners totaled $14.0 million for the fourth quarter 2011. Net income to the limited partners, before considering the impairment charge, increased 32% over fourth quarter 2010 to $55.0 million in the fourth quarter 2011. The increase was solely related to increased revenues.
Net loss per unit for the fourth quarter 2011 was $0.13. Before considering the impairment, net income per unit increased 33% to $0.52 per unit.
Distributable cash flow
Full Year
Distributable cash flow increased $47.4 million, or 21% over 2010, to a record $274.4 million for 2011 due to improved revenues.
Fourth Quarter
Distributable cash flow rose $4.4 million over the fourth quarter of 2010 to $79.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The improvement was due to increases in revenue.

Revenues
Total revenues for the fourth quarter decreased 6% from the prior quarter to $97.7 million predominantly due to decreases in coal royalty revenues and oil and gas revenues. Coal royalty revenues decreased $8.8 million to $67.6 million due to a 12% decrease in coal production. The decrease predominantly related to unusually high Illinois Basin sales in the third quarter with normalization occurring in the fourth.
Operating Expenses
Before considering impairments, total operating costs and expenses declined $2.1 million from the third quarter mainly due to decreases in depreciation, depletion and amortization as a result of decreased production in the fourth quarter offset by slightly higher general and administrative expenses.
Net income (loss)
Net income to the limited partners, before considering the impairment, declined $5.5 million in the fourth quarter from the previous quarter due to decreased revenues. Net income per unit, before considering the impairment, was $0.52 for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $0.57 per unit for the third quarter.
Distributable cash flow
Distributable cash flow increased $7.6 million, or 11%, to $79.6 million primarily due to $5.6 million in lower interest payments in the fourth quarter. Other improvements in the balance sheet more than offset the declines in revenue experienced in the fourth quarter over the third.
Acquisitions and Liquidity
In 2011, NRP invested $120.6 million in acquisitions, $12.8 million of which occurred in the fourth quarter, related to oil and gas mineral acreage acquired and further payments on construction related to aggregates. These payments were funded with the excess cash proceeds from the 2011 private placements.
As of December 31, 2011, NRP had $300 million in available capacity under its credit facility and slightly under $215 million in cash. Included in NRP's cash was $78.2 million from private placements of senior notes that has not yet been invested in acquisitions. These proceeds will be used to fund future acquisitions. At year end, there were two future commitments on the Hillsboro acquisitions totaling $80 million, $40 million of which closed on February 2, 2012. The final $40 million acquisition of Hillsboro reserves is currently anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2012. In addition, NRP has continued to acquire additional mineral acreage in the Mississippian Lime Play in Oklahoma in the first quarter of 2012.
2012 Guidance
"With weaker global demand for metallurgical coal, a warmer than normal winter, competition from natural gas for power generation, and reports from several coal companies that they are reducing production until demand increases, NRP is anticipating slightly lower results in 2012 than 2011. NRP expects coal royalty revenues in the range of $265 million to $295 million in 2012, with the midpoint of the range approximately flat with 2011. These revenue estimates are based upon an approximate 10% increase in production with a lower average realization per ton. NRP anticipates total revenues in a range of $335 million to $380 million in 2012, with the midpoint of the range representing an approximate 4% decrease in total revenues from 2011.
NRP anticipates distributable cash flow in a range of $210 million to $240 million. The distributable cash flow is impacted by an increase in the reserve for principal payments of approximately $22 million over the reserve for 2011. Net income per unit is anticipated to be in a range of $1.65 per unit to $1.95 per unit.
Following is a table containing the 2012 guidance.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable cash flow represents cash flow from operations less actual principal payments and cash reserves set aside for scheduled principal payments on the senior notes. Distributable cash flow is a "non-GAAP financial measure" that is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric that is an indicator of NRP's ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distributions paid to its partners. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships. Distributable 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. A reconciliation of distributable cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is included in the tables attached to this release. Distributable cash flow may not be calculated the same for NRP as other companies.
