Gas Natural Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results and Announces Monthly Dividend
-- Consolidated third quarter net loss of $45,000 improved from net loss of $172,000 in the prior year period.
-- Board of Directors declared a monthly dividend of $0.045 per share to shareholders of record as of November 15, 2010. The dividend is payable on November 30, 2010.
-- Public offering of 1.76 million primary shares results in net proceeds of $16.0 million for expansion opportunities
GREAT FALLS, Mont., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gas Natural Inc. (NYSE Amex: EGAS) (the "Company" or "Gas Natural"), a natural gas utility company serving approximately 62,000 customers in six states, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. Results for the quarter included the January 5, 2010 acquisitions of three Ohio-based gas utilities, Orwell Natural Gas Company, Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corp. and Brainard Gas Corp., which increased total customers by approximately 23,000, or more than 50%. Also included were the results of Cut Bank Gas in Montana, a small operation acquired in November 2009.
Consolidated net loss for the third quarter was $45,000, or $(0.01) per diluted share, improved from net loss of $172,000, or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. The improvement was primarily driven by an income tax benefit of $506,000 from the adjustment of the prior year's tax provision to actual tax requirements. The operations of the acquired Ohio companies reported a net loss of $695,000 in the 2010 third quarter as they depend on residential heating load which was minimal in the third quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income increased $1.6 million, or 65%, to $4.1 million from the $2.5 million reported in the same period of 2009. On a per diluted share basis, net income was $0.68 for the first nine months of 2010 compared with $0.58 in the corresponding period of 2009.
Richard M. Osborne, Gas Natural's chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "Our Maine and North Carolina operations again made significant contributions to the Company; and during the quarter we continued to add new customers and expanded our facilities to meet the strong demand we are experiencing in these growth markets. Our Ohio-based operations depend on residential heating load, which was minimal during the third quarter. We remain intensely focused on improving our Ohio results, and expect that those operations will improve over time as we implement operational efficiencies, complete the integration and capture greater market share in those territories."
Mr. Osborne added, "We have grown and succeeded in markets where natural gas is the clean, economic and abundant energy source. And, the success of our recent stock sale provides growth capital to invest primarily in our North Carolina and Maine markets where we can capture market share from propane and fuel oil distributors while offering consumers significant savings on their energy bill."
Natural Gas Operations Segment
Gas Natural Inc. annually distributes approximately 29 billion cubic feet of natural gas to approximately 62,000 customers through regulated utilities operating in Montana, Wyoming, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine and North Carolina. The Company acquired its Maine and North Carolina operations in 2007, added Cut Bank Gas in Montana in November 2009, and in January 2010, closed the acquisition of its Ohio and Pennsylvania operations.

The Natural Gas Operations segment incurred a net loss of $326,000 in the third quarter of 2010 compared with net income of $10,000 for the same period the prior year. The change was the result of the previously noted Ohio operation's net loss of $695,000, which more than offset the benefits of the income tax provision adjustment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Natural Gas Operations segment contributed net income of $3.7 million compared with $2.1 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of 76%, or $1.6 million. The increase was primarily due to net income growth of $1.3 million from organic operations, specifically attributed to strong results from the North Carolina and Maine utilities, while the acquired Ohio companies accounted for $242,000 of the increase.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $679,000 compared with operating income of $179,000 in the third quarter of 2009. The decline was due to the acquired operating expenses from the Ohio companies, which more than offset the added gross margin contribution from those businesses. Operating income for the first nine months of 2010 expanded 48.7% to $5.9 million over the $4.0 million reported during the same period of the prior year, reflecting improved performance at the Company's organic operations and contributions from the Ohio acquisitions.
Other income increased during the third quarter and nine month period of 2010, due primarily to contributions from the Ohio companies.
The increase in interest expense during the third quarter and nine month period of 2010 was a direct result of the added debt acquired with the Ohio companies.
Marketing and Production Segment
The Marketing and Production segment had net income of $275,000 compared with a net loss of $12,000 for the same quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $254,000 income tax benefit from the previously noted true-up of income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income for the segment was $309,000, down from $677,000 for the nine month period in 2009, a reflection of a jury award in April 2010 of $522,000 in litigation relating to a gas supply contract that expired in October of 2008, partially offset by the current quarter true-up income tax benefit.
Pipeline Operations Segment
The Pipeline Operations segment generated net income of $83,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $74,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net income was $143,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, in line with the $147,000 reported for the same period in 2009.
Balance Sheet and Cash Management
Cash and marketable securities at the end of the third quarter of 2010 was $6.7 million, a decline from the 2009 year-end balance of $7.2 million, but an improvement of 8.1%, or $0.5 million, from $6.2 million reported at the end of the third quarter of 2009. On November 15, 2010, subsequent to the close of the third quarter, the Company completed its underwritten public offering of 2,100,000 shares of its common stock, of which the Company sold 1,760,000 shares and certain selling shareholders sold 340,000 shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, which were approximately $16.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses, to expand its distribution systems as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 315,000 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions to cover over-allotments, if any.
Cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared with $17.5 million in the same period the prior year. The change in cash from operations was principally due to a $4.4 million increase in the amount paid for gas inventory and a $5.8 million increase in refunds of refundable costs of gas due to timing.
Capital expenditures for first nine months of 2010 were $4.0 million, compared with $6.7 million in the corresponding period of 2009, and were focused on the acquired Ohio companies as well as expanding operations in its growth oriented utilities of Maine and North Carolina.
The Company sold $4.2 million in marketable securities during the first nine months of 2010 taking advantage of market conditions at the time and establishing a more liquid position.
In addition to cash and marketable securities, the Company maintains three credit facilities totaling $18.2 million with approximately $5.4 million of availability as of the end of the third quarter of 2010. As previously announced, on November 2, 2010, the Company agreed to sell $20.0 million of senior secured notes to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. The sale is expected to close by the end of November 2010, subject to regulatory approvals. The net proceeds will be used to refinance the Company's existing Ohio and Great Plains debt.
