HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NYSE:NRP) today reported revenues of $90.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $86.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, and distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, of $64.9 million compared to $90.7 million for the second quarter of 2013. Net income per unit was $0.28 in the second quarter of 2014 versus $0.37 per unit in the second quarter of 2013. Before considering an asset impairment expense of $5.6 million for an intangible asset related to an aggregates property, net income per unit for the second quarter 2014 was $0.33. NRP reported EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $77.2 million in the second quarter 2014 compared to $76.1 million for the second quarter 2013. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures of distributable cash flow and EBITDA are included in the tables at the end of this release.
"Strong performances in the first half of the year from our oil and gas, soda ash and Illinois coal businesses offset the challenges that we continue to face in the Appalachian coalfields," said Nick Carter, President and COO. "Our diversification efforts have provided significant benefits to NRP and consequently our combined operating results for the first six months were in line with our expectations."
At the end of the second quarter, NRP had approximately $373 million in liquidity, consisting of $70 million in cash and $303 million available under its revolving credit facilities. During the second quarter of 2014, NRP reduced its debt by $12.3 million bringing the total net reduction for the first half of the year to $51.5 million.
"Following through on our stated goal earlier this year, we have used the excess cash generated by our substantial distribution coverage to reduce our leverage," said Dwight Dunlap, Chief Financial Officer. "We intend to continue to pay down our debt over the remainder of the year and use our liquidity and improved credit to fund the growth and continued diversification of NRP."
Reaffirmed Guidance and Market Outlook
Excluding a $5.6 million impairment charge taken in the second quarter, NRP is reaffirming its initial guidance for 2014. While NRP anticipates that coal related revenues may be lower than the initial guidance, revenues from other sources are expected to increase, offsetting those declines.
"We are pleased that our first half results matched our expectations, and anticipate continued strong performance in the second half of the year from our soda ash, oil and gas and Illinois Basin coal operations," said Wyatt Hogan, Executive Vice President.
NRP's Williston Basin assets are benefitting from strong oil markets and production growth from new wells coming on line in the Bakken/Three Forks play. In addition, NRP's soda ash business continues to perform well, and is on pace to distribute approximately $46 million to NRP in 2014. The domestic soda ash market remains steady, while the international market for soda ash continues to improve, as global production capacity for high-cost synthetic soda ash continues to be reduced.
While the thermal coal market was starting to show signs of recovery earlier this year aided by the cold winter and higher natural gas prices, the cooler than anticipated summer so far has dampened some of the optimism around thermal coal prices. The global metallurgical coal market continues to suffer from oversupply in addition to reduced demand from China, and NRP does not anticipate metallurgical coal prices recovering in 2014. NRP has exposure to three mines included in Alpha's recent WARN notice issued in West Virginia, but even if these mines are ultimately idled, it would not have a material impact on NRP's 2014 forecast as the mines are projected to continue full operations through the third quarter. While other lessees have also announced potential idling of mines through WARN notices, NRP does not anticipate a material impact on its 2014 results. In contrast, NRP believes that thermal coal production from its low-cost Illinois Basin properties will continue to remain strong.

Revenues and other income
Second quarter 2014 total revenues and other income increased 4% from the same period of 2013. NRP benefitted from its diversification into other asset classes, as revenues other than coal related revenues more than offset the declines experienced in coal related revenues. Coal production volumes decreased 20% to 11.9 million tons, while average coal royalty revenue per ton decreased 1% to $3.86 per ton, which led to a 21% reduction in coal royalty revenues to $45.8 million from the second quarter 2013. The reductions in production and price realizations were primarily related to NRP's Appalachian properties.
Metallurgical coal accounted for 36% of NRP's coal production and 43% of its coal royalty revenues for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 28% of production and 40% of coal royalty revenues in the second quarter of 2013.
Revenues other than coal related revenues nearly doubled from the second quarter 2013 primarily due to increased oil and gas revenues and our investment in the soda ash business.
Oil and gas revenues increased nearly six-fold over the second quarter of 2013 to $10.1 million, primarily due to the revenues generated by NRP's Williston Basin properties acquired in the second half of 2013. NRP also recognized a 19% increase in the equity income associated with NRP's investment in the soda ash business due to both an increase in net income for the business as well as 23 additional days of income in 2014 over 2013.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2014 rose $8.7 million to $40.2 million from the second quarter 2013. The increase was mainly due to $2.3 million of operating expenses associated with NRP's Williston Basin oil and gas properties acquired in the second half of 2013, and a $5.6 million asset impairment expense recorded in 2014.
Net income attributable to the limited partners
Net income attributable to the limited partners and net income per unit decreased in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the 2013 period to $30.8 million, or $0.28 per unit, from $40.2 million or $0.37 per unit. Approximately half of the decrease was associated with the non-cash impairment charge. Before considering the impairment, net income attributable to the limited partners and net income per unit were $36.3 million and $0.33 per unit, respectively.
Distributable cash flow
Distributable cash flow decreased by 28% to $64.9 from $90.7 million mainly due to $12.1 million less in distributions from OCI and increased interest expense.
EBITDA
EBITDA for the second quarter 2014 remained relatively flat at $77.2 million compared to the EBITDA generated in the second quarter 2013 of $76.1 million.

Revenues and other income
Total revenues and other income for the second quarter increased $10.3 million or 13% from the first quarter, predominantly due to a $3.0 million increase in coal related revenues and a $7.8 million increase in oil and gas revenues. In the second quarter, NRP realized increased coal royalty revenues due to increased average realizations per ton of coal, relative to the first quarter, and increased oil and gas revenue due to increased oil and gas activity. The increased realizations were mainly due to the mix of coal properties.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased $12.3 million over the previous quarter predominantly due to the following:
- Increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (non-cash) of $1.7 million due to production from higher cost properties in this quarter versus the previous quarter
- Impairment charge (non-cash) of $5.6 million
- Increased general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million were mainly due to a negative accrual for the long term incentive plan in the first quarter due to the drop in unit price. The second quarter reflects more of a normal accrual.
- Increased property, franchise and other taxes of $1.3 million predominantly due to severance taxes on oil and gas income
Net income attributable to the limited partners
Net income attributable to the limited partners and net income per unit decreased in the second quarter from the previous quarter by $1.2 million and $0.01 per unit, respectively. Before considering the non-cash impairment charge taken in the second quarter, net income attributable to the limited partners would have increased by $4.3 million to $36.3 million while net income per unit would have increased by $0.04 to $0.33 per unit.
Distributable cash flow
Distributable cash flow increased to $64.9 million, up from $38.9 million reported in the first quarter mainly due to changes in the balance sheet included in net cash provided by operating activities, as well as additional distributions received from OCI in the second quarter.
EBITDA
EBITDA for the second quarter 2014 increased over the first quarter by $5.5 million due to increased revenues.
Distributions
As reported on July 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of NRP's general partner declared a quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit for the second quarter 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
"Distributable cash flow" represents cash flow from operations plus any proceeds from the sale of assets plus the return on direct financing lease and contractual overrides shown in the cash flows from investing activities section of the cash flow statement. 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 make quarterly cash distributions 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.
"EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and asset impairment. "EBITDA," as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, and working capital movement or tax positions. EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and obligations. Our management team believes EBITDA is useful in evaluating our financial performance because this measure is widely used by analysts and investors for comparative purposes. EBITDA is a financial measure widely used by investors in the high-yield bond market. There are significant limitations to using EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating EBITDA reported by different companies.
"EBITDA margin" represents NRP's EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues and other income.
