--- Generated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $61 Million and Free Cash Flow of $34 Million for the Third Quarter 2020 ---

HOUSTON, Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Penn Virginia Corporation ("Penn Virginia" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PVAC) today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter 2020.

Recent Significant Highlights

• Entered into strategic agreements with certain affiliates of Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. ("Juniper") whereby Juniper would acquire equity in Penn Virginia for (1) a cash investment of $150 million and (2) the contribution of $38.4 million of complementary oil and gas assets;

• Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $61 million and free cash flow ("FCF")⁽¹⁾ of $34 million for the third quarter of 2020;

• Sold 18,383 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") and 24,295 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOEPD") for the third quarter of 2020;

• Realized oil price for the third quarter of 2020 of $48.28 per barrel including hedge settlements;

• Reported net loss of $243 million (includes a non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties of $236 million and non-cash unrealized losses on derivatives of $7 million), or $16.03 per share, and adjusted net income⁽²⁾ of $17 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020;

• Generated adjusted EBITDAX⁽³⁾ of $64 million for the third quarter of 2020;

• Reduced debt by $35 million; and

• Recorded a mark-to-market value of the Company's commodity hedge position of approximately $27.8 million as of November 4, 2020.

"Generating free cash flow is a top priority for Penn Virginia. To achieve that goal, we continue to focus on driving down our capital costs, increasing operational efficiencies, and protecting our margins by prudent risk management," said Darrin Henke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Penn Virginia. "During the third quarter, we generated significant free cash flow, and we judiciously used that cash to reduce our outstanding debt. Given our Gulf Coast pricing, low-cost structure, strong hedge positions, and resumption of our drilling program, we anticipate living within cash flow in the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Henke continued, “Our history of solid performance and premier asset base in the Eagle Ford make Penn Virginia an attractive investment opportunity as evidenced by the recently announced pending transaction with Juniper. Once completed, the transaction will immediately improve the Company’s balance sheet as it will allow us to more than double our equity market capitalization, pay down well over $100 million of debt, extend the maturity of our second-lien term loan by two years to September 2024, and reduce annual interest expense by an estimated 20%. We are also excited about the opportunities provided by folding in Juniper’s adjacent acreage, which includes complementary oil and gas assets that add production, cash flow, and additional drilling locations. Finally, this transaction will allow us to more effectively maneuver through a potential “lower for longer” oil price environment. As we have shown consistently throughout 2020, we strive to leverage our robust hedge book to mitigate lower oil prices while maintaining significant upside exposure to an eventual oil price recovery. We look forward to working closely with the Juniper team as we continue to focus on long-term value creation for all of our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2020 Operating Results

Total sales volumes for the third quarter of 2020 were 2.24 MMBOE, or 24,295 BOEPD (76% crude oil). During the third quarter of 2020, the Company did not spud any wells but turned to sales five gross (4.8 net) wells.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Operating expenses were $300.0 million (includes a non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties of $236.0 million), or $134.23 per barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE"), in the third quarter of 2020. Total cash direct operating expenses, which consist of lease operating expenses ("LOE"), gathering, processing, and transportation ("GPT") expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and cash general and administrative ("G&A") expenses, were $26.2 million, or $11.73 per BOE, in the third quarter of 2020. Total G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $3.84 per BOE, which included $2.7 million of non-cash share-based compensation and non-recurring organizational restructuring costs, of which $0.8 million was non-cash. For the third quarter of 2020, adjusted cash G&A expenses⁽⁴⁾, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation and non-recurring G&A items, were $2.65 per BOE. LOE was $3.70 per BOE for the third quarter of 2020.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $243.4 million (includes a non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties of $236.0 million and non-cash unrealized losses on derivatives of $6.9 million), or $16.03 per share, compared to a net income of $54.4 million, or $3.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted net income⁽²⁾ was $17.3 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020 versus $29.5 million, or $1.94 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDAX⁽³⁾ was $63.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $86.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, down primarily due to the effect of lower oil sales volumes and oil prices.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $8.0 million of capital expenditures, of which 89% was associated with drilling and completion capital.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDAX ratio of approximately 1.66x⁽⁵⁾. As of October 30, 2020, the Company had $314.4 million outstanding on its credit facility and $51.2 million of liquidity.

Acreage

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 98,300 gross (86,200 net) acres. Approximately 93% of Penn Virginia's acreage is held by production.

	4Q 2020
Sales (BOPD)	15,000 – 17,000

Juniper Transaction Overview

On November 2, 2020, Penn Virginia entered into agreements with Juniper whereby Juniper would acquire 59% of the equity in Penn Virginia’s new structure in exchange for: (1) a cash investment of $150 million at $8.75 per share, a 13% premium to the Company’s closing share price on November 2, 2020 and (2) a contribution of complementary oil and gas assets valued at approximately $38.4 million. Juniper will make its investment in Penn Virginia through an up-C structure, which will be implemented at the closing of the transaction. As part of the transaction, Juniper will be restricted from selling any of its equity securities in Penn Virginia for six months following the closing of the transaction.

Penn Virginia expects to use $50.0 million of the cash proceeds to pay down and restructure its second-lien term loan (balance of $200.0 million as of October 30, 2020), with the balance of the cash proceeds used to significantly reduce the amount outstanding under the Company’s credit facility (balance of $314.4 million as of October 30, 2020) and to pay transaction fees and expenses.

Following the closing, Edward Geiser, Juniper’s Managing Partner, will serve as Penn Virginia's Chairman of the Board, and Juniper will appoint four additional members to the nine-member Board. Darrin Henke, Penn Virginia’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and the other members of Penn Virginia’s senior management are expected to continue in their roles, and the Company’s current directors, including Mr. Henke, will remain on the Board immediately following the closing.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, holders of Penn Virginia’s second-lien term loan have agreed to extend the maturity date from September 2022 to September 2024, in addition to other modifications to the term loan agreement.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including obtaining the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals as well as approval under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Pro forma information should not be considered a forecast of future results. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this communication. These include the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the Transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the Transaction that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the Transaction; the ability to successfully integrate the assets to be acquired in the Transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the contribution agreements related to the Transaction; the possibility that shareholders of Penn Virginia may not approve the issuance of equity in the Transaction or there may be a delay in receiving expected shareholder approval; the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction in a timely manner or at all; the risk that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Penn Virginia’s common stock; the risk that changes in Penn Virginia’s capital structure and governance, including its status as a controlled company, could have adverse effects on the market value of its securities; the ability of Penn Virginia to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its suppliers and customers and on Penn Virginia’s operating results and business generally; the risk the pending Transaction could distract management from ongoing business operations or cause Penn Virginia to incur substantial costs; the risk that the expanded acreage footprint does not allow for longer laterals, lower per unit operating expenses, and increased number of wells per pad as expected; the ability of Penn Virginia to develop drilling locations, which do not represent oil and gas reserves, into production or proved reserves; the risk that Penn Virginia may be unable to reduce expenses or access financing or liquidity; the risk that the Company does not realize expected benefits of its hedges; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the related economic downturn and the related substantial decline in demand for oil and natural gas; and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond Penn Virginia’s control, including those detailed in Penn Virginia’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on Penn Virginia’s website at www.pennvirginia.com and on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov.

PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION
CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - unaudited

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP measures are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, or superior to financial measures prepared according to GAAP. They should be evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Special Note About Presentation
Effective with our reporting for the period ended September 30, 2020, and for future periods, the Company is changing the manner in which settlements from interest rate swap derivatives are presented in the Non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDAX.” Previously, our presentation of such interest rate swap settlements were commingled with commodity derivative settlements in the caption titled “Realized settlements, net.” Because these interest rate swap derivative financial instruments represent hedges of the interest expense attributable to our variable-rate debt instruments, we believe that the related gain or loss on our Consolidated Statements of Operations should be treated similarly to the exclusion of interest expense in the determination of “Adjusted EBITDAX.” In order to mitigate the potential for any confusion and to align our reporting with what we believe to be the dominant presentation methodology regarding such Non-GAAP financial metrics in our industry, which is also consistent with the treatment afforded such derivative financial instruments in our debt agreements, we will exclude the effect of such settlements in our Non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDAX”. We have applied the aforementioned presentation methodology to all prior periods presented herein.

Effective with our reporting for the period ended March 31, 2020, and for future periods, the Company is changing the manner in which settlements from derivatives are presented in the Non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted net income” and “Adjusted EBITDAX.” Previously, our presentations of such settlements were based upon the actual amount of cash paid or received during the periods presented. Because derivative financial instruments settle in cash during the month immediately following the month for which the underlying production is hedged, there exists a potential for confusion regarding our actual derivative-adjusted financial performance in the reporting period. In order to mitigate the potential for any confusion and to align our reporting with what we believe to be the dominant presentation methodology regarding such Non-GAAP financial metrics in our industry, we will present our oil derivative settlements in our Non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted net income” and “Adjusted EBITDAX” on a realized basis whereby such settlements are matched to the periods for which the underlying production is hedged. We have applied the aforementioned presentation methodology to all prior periods presented herein.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income (loss)” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted net income”
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income (loss) adjusted to include net realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects, net of income taxes, of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, impairments of oil and gas properties, net gains and losses on the sales of assets, acquisition, divestiture and strategic transaction costs, organizational restructuring, including severance, other net items and income tax effect of adjustments. We believe that Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share amounts provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors. Since management finds this measure to be useful, the Company believes that our investors can benefit by evaluating both non-GAAP and GAAP results. Adjusted net income non-GAAP 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 (loss).

Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income (loss)” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDAX”
Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, impairments of oil and gas properties, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, further adjusted to include the net commodity realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects of gains and losses on sales of assets, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, and special items including acquisition, divestiture and strategic transaction costs, and organizational restructuring, including severance and other items. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX 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 (loss). Adjusted EBITDAX as defined by Penn Virginia may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or cash flows from operating activities. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of Penn Virginia’s results as reported under GAAP.

Reconciliation of GAAP “General and administrative expenses” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses”
Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash share-based compensation expense. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted cash general and administrative expenses is useful to investors because it provides readers with a meaningful measure of our recurring G&A expense and provides for greater comparability period-over-period.

Definition and Explanation of Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes illustrates our ability to generate cash flows from our business that are available to be returned to our providers of financing capital represented primarily by our debt holders as we do not currently have a dividend or share repurchase program. We present Free Cash Flow as the excess (deficiency) of Discretionary cash flow over Capital additions, net. Discretionary cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled to GAAP net income above) less interest expense and debt issue costs and adjustments for income taxes (paid) refunded and changes for working capital. Capital additions represent our committed capital expenditure and acquisition transactions, net of any proceeds from the sales or disposition of assets. Free Cash Flow is also defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities and debt issuance costs paid, plus other, net. We believe Free Cash Flow is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies in many industries. Free Cash Flow should be considered as a supplement to net income as a measure of performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Net Debt
Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total principal amount of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. The most comparable financial measure to net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs under GAAP is principal amount of long-term debt. Net debt is used by management as a measure of our financial leverage. Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis in formulating investment decisions as it does not represent the Company’s actual indebtedness.
