Revenues
Second Quarter
Increases in realized prices for coal allowed NRP to generate record quarterly revenues of $91.4 million for the second quarter 2011, a 15% rise over the second quarter 2010. Coal royalty revenues improved 21% to a record $69.8 million. Average coal royalty revenue per ton increased 23% over the same quarter last year to a record $6.05 in the second quarter 2011 while production declined modestly to 11.5 million tons.
While revenues other than coal royalties were virtually flat at $21.6 million, NRP saw several significant increases in various categories. Aggregate royalties, coal processing fees, property taxes and overriding royalties all increased, offsetting declines in transportation fees, oil and gas royalties, minimums recognized as revenue and other. Aggregate production more than doubled in the second quarter 2011 over the same period last year, reflecting the benefits of the acquisitions made in 2010. In the second quarter 2010, minimums recognized as revenue included a $3.1 million minimum that was also received in the second quarter 2011, but was recorded as deferred revenue rather than as revenue.
Six Months
Revenues for the first six months increased 23% over the same period last year to $176.3 million due to increases in nearly every category. Coal royalty revenues increased 29% to $135.2 million due to a 24% increase in the average coal royalty revenue per ton to $5.76, while production rose 4% to 23.5 million tons.
Metallurgical coal accounted for 37% of NRP's production and 47% of its coal royalty revenues for the first six months of 2011 compared to 33% of production and 40% of coal royalty revenues in 2010.
NRP experienced an 8% increase in revenues other than coal royalty to $41.1 million, with significant increases in aggregate royalties, coal processing fees and oil and gas royalties. Aggregate production more than doubled while oil and gas royalties were significantly higher due to the acquisitions completed during 2010. Minimums recognized as revenue in 2010 included $6.2 million not shown as revenue in 2011 as discussed above.
Operating Expenses
Second Quarter
NRP incurred total operating costs and expenses of $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, down 4% from the $27.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. The second quarter of 2010 included approximately $900 thousand more in acquisition related expenses than the second quarter 2011.
Six Months
Operating expenses for the first six months of 2011 increased 11% to $55.6 million. The increased expenses were due to escalations in non-cash depreciation, depletion and amortization of $2.6 million and a $3.3 million rise in general and administrative expenses mainly due to additional personnel and associated costs.
Net income
Second Quarter
Net income to the limited partners increased $23.3 million, or nearly doubled, to $51.3 million in the second quarter 2011. Half of the increase was associated with increased revenues while $13.0 million was associated with the elimination of the incentive distribution rights that occurred in late September 2010. Net income per unit increased 26% to $0.48 per unit despite a 43% increase in the average number of units outstanding in the second quarter 2011 versus the same period last year.
Six Months
Net income to the limited partners increased $50.8 million, or 113%, for the first six months of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010, predominantly due to improved revenues of $33.2 million. Also included is a $26.0 million improvement due to the elimination of the incentive distribution rights in September 2010. Net income per unit for the first six months rose by 43%, or $0.27 per unit, to $0.90 per unit, despite a 48% increase in the number of units outstanding during the respective time periods.
Distributable cash flow
Second Quarter
Distributable cash flow rose 32% over the second quarter of 2010 to a record $83.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. Approximately $11 million of the $20.0 million improvement was due to increases in revenue while the remaining $9 million was due to improvements in cash flow from balance sheet related items.
Six Months
Distributable cash flow increased $25.3 million, or 26%, to $122.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same period last year due primarily to improved coal royalty revenues.

Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter 2011 increased 8% over the first quarter 2011, to $91.4 million, mainly due to a 11% increase in the realized coal royalty revenue per ton. Average coal royalty revenue per ton rose $0.58 to $6.05, while coal production from NRP's properties declined 3% to 11.5 million tons. Revenues other than coal royalty increased $5.3 million or 11% due to increases in all categories except transportation fees and oil and gas royalties, which were down a total of $1.4 million.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 declined $2.4 million from the first quarter mainly due to decreases in general and administrative expenses associated with NRP's long-term incentive plan.
Net income
Net income to the limited partners rose $6.9 million to $51.3 million in the second quarter over the first quarter mainly due to increases in revenues during the second quarter. Net income per unit was $0.48 for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $0.42 per unit for the first quarter.
Distributable cash flow
Distributable cash flow increased $45.0 million, or 115%, to $83.9 million due predominantly to improvements in working capital items and increases in revenues.
Market Outlook
There has not been a significant change in the coal markets in the second quarter versus the first quarter of 2011. The steam coal markets continue to show improvements over 2010 levels but are still not back to pre-recession levels. Metallurgical coal markets remain stronger than the steam markets due to the global nature of the steel business and the growing demand for both metallurgical coal and coke by developing countries. Adding to the strength of the metallurgical market are supply disruptions caused by temporary closures of some metallurgical mines. The increased demand for seaborne metallurgical coal together with these temporary closures impeding supply have kept prices at near record levels and increased the demand for U.S. metallurgical coal. As a result, NRP expects record level of exports of coal, mostly metallurgical, in 2011. Metallurgical coal prices remain above $300 per metric tonne in the global markets today, well above prices experienced in 2010.
On the other hand, the thermal market in the United States continues to improve at a slower pace than the metallurgical market. Utilities are faced with dual issues of the continuing high coal stockpile levels and low natural gas prices that make that fuel competitive with coal for the generation of electricity. Thus, while NRP sees some lowering of the coal stockpiles at the utilities as reported by the EIA, the burn down of the utility stockpiles is not occurring at the same pace as the economic recovery largely due to fuel switching. The one factor that is showing some improvement for the U.S. thermal market is the advancement of thermal coal exports. Demand for U.S. thermal coal in the international market has been improving and most recently there has been a strike by miners in South Africa creating an even tighter supply. So while the level of exports of thermal coal will probably not reach the levels for metallurgical coal, it is improving and will give U.S. thermal coal producers another outlet for sales.
Acquisitions and Liquidity
In the first six months of 2011, NRP invested approximately $100 million in acquisitions that will lead to future growth for NRP. Most of the investment was related to the Deer Run mine in the Illinois Basin where we acquired additional reserves for $70 million. The remaining $30 million was used to acquire three previously announced aggregate properties. The Deer Run mine should add significant increases in coal production in the Illinois Basin in 2012. Remaining commitments on acquisitions at June 30 totaled $84.1 million of which $44.1 million is due in 2011.
As of June 30, 2011, NRP had $300 million in available capacity under its credit facility and approximately $146 million in cash. In the second quarter of 2011, NRP issued $250 million of additional senior unsecured notes, and is committed to issue another $50 million of senior notes in October of this year. NRP used most of the proceeds from the senior notes to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and has used, or will use, the remaining proceeds for acquisitions. "We believe that the combination of our capacity under our credit facility, our cash on hand and the pending issuance of an additional $50 million of senior notes gives us sufficient liquidity to meet our current capital needs and pursue further acquisitions," said Dwight Dunlap, Chief Financial Officer of NRP.

NRP is narrowing the ranges and modestly increasing the midpoint of its guidance for the remainder of the year due to the record revenues experienced in the first half of 2011. While NRP has modestly reduced the midpoint of its production forecast for the second half, improved pricing for metallurgical as well as steam coal has allowed it to increase all other guidance.
"Although we benefitted in the first half of the year from our substantial exposure to metallurgical coal, we derived approximately 13% of our metallurgical coal revenues from the Pinnacle and Oak Grove mines," said Nick Carter. "The Oak Grove mine in Alabama suffered damage to its preparation plant due to a tornado, and is not expected to sell any coal in the third quarter. The Pinnacle mine in West Virginia has experienced a high level of carbon monoxide and remains closed until MSHA determines that the mine is safe. As a result, we expect to receive a lower percentage of revenues from metallurgical coal sales in the second half of the year."
Distributions
As reported on July 20, 2011, the Board of Directors of NRP's general partner declared a quarterly distribution of $0.54 per unit, unchanged from the first quarter 2011. NRP's distributable cash flow coverage for the quarter was 1.4 times while for the first six months it was 1.1 times.

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.
