HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 1, 2018--
Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NYSE:NRP) today reported fourth
quarter and full year 2017 results.
Craig Nunez, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented: "A
successful fourth quarter capped a year of significant achievement for
NRP. We continue to generate substantial amounts of cash from operations
and our fourth quarter results have considerably improved compared to
prior year levels. Compared to the prior quarter, our results reflect
improved performances from our Coal Royalty, Soda Ash and Construction
Aggregates business segments. In addition, we continue to strengthen our
balance sheet and have reduced debt $311.1 million during 2017. We enter
2018 with a stronger balance sheet, lower interest expense and improved
operating performance."
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, NRP had liquidity of $119.8
million, consisting of $29.8 million in cash and $90.0 million of
borrowing capacity available under its credit facility. NRP's
consolidated Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio at year-end 2017 was 3.6x,
down from 4.5x at year-end 2016 and 5.3x at year-end 2015.
NRP continues to focus on reducing its debt while maintaining sufficient
liquidity to operate its business. NRP's goal is to achieve a leverage
ratio, defined as Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA, of less than 3.0x, while
maintaining minimum liquidity of $100 million, which may consist of a
combination of cash and/or available borrowing capacity.
With respect to the fourth quarter of 2017, NRP paid a cash distribution
of $0.45 per common unit and paid a distribution on NRP’s 12.0% Class A
Convertible Preferred Units in February 2018. NRP also redeemed all
outstanding paid-in-kind Preferred Units in February 2018 at par.

Segment Information
Coal Royalty and Other
Operating income for the quarter was $39.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA
was $46.7 million. For the quarter, net cash provided by operating and
investing activities were $45.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively,
and DCF was $46.1 million. NRP's Q4 2017 results represent a substantial
improvement from Q4 2016 and a modest increase compared to Q3 2017.
Adjusted coal royalty and other operating income compared to Q4 2016
increased 34%, DCF adjusted for proceeds from the sale of assets
increased 6% and Adjusted EBITDA excluding gains on sale of assets
increased 20%. Variances in Q4 2017 compared to Q4 2016 by our major
coal producing regions follow:
-
Appalachia: Coal royalty revenue increased $2.9 million in this region
primarily as a result of increased metallurgical coal prices and
production.
-
Illinois Basin: Lower production in this region led to a $4.1 million
decrease in coal royalty revenue, despite increases in thermal coal
prices and our royalty revenue per ton in the region. The decreased
production in this region was primarily a result of the temporary
relocation of certain production off of NRP's coal reserves. However,
this decrease in coal royalty revenue was partially offset by a $3.5
million increase in overriding royalty revenue and wheelage in this
region.
-
Northern Powder River Basin: Higher prices and production in this
region led to the $1.5 million increase in coal royalty revenue. The
higher production was a result of increased mining on our acreage in
this region, which has a checkerboard coal reserve ownership pattern.
Operating income for the year was $154.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA was
$181.3 million. Net cash provided by operating, investing and financing
activities were $166.1 million, $4.2 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, and DCF was $170.3 million. Adjusted Coal Royalty and
Other Operating Income compared to 2016 increased 40% and DCF adjusted
for proceeds from the sale of assets increased 23% and Adjusted EBITDA
excluding gains on sale of assets decreased 1%. The decrease in Adjusted
EBITDA year-over-year was impacted by $40.5 million of revenue resulting
from one-time lease modifications in 2016. Variances in year-ended 2017
compared to year-ended 2016 by our major coal producing regions follow:
-
Appalachia: Coal royalty revenue increased $30.7 million in this
region primarily as a result of increased metallurgical coal prices
and production.
-
Illinois Basin: Lower production in this region led to a $12.7 million
decrease in coal royalty revenue, despite increases in thermal coal
prices and our royalty revenue per ton in the region. The decreased
production in this region was primarily a result of the temporary
relocation of certain production off of NRP's coal reserves. However,
this decrease in coal royalty revenue was partially offset by a $7.5
million increase in overriding royalty revenue and wheelage in this
region.
-
Northern Powder River Basin: Higher production in this region led to
the $1.0 million increase in coal royalty revenue despite a relatively
small decrease in prices year-over-year. The higher production was a
result of increased mining on our acreage in this region, which has a
checkerboard coal reserve ownership pattern.
Soda Ash
During Q4 2017, international prices for soda ash, particularly in Asia,
continued to be strong, and domestic prices improved slightly over 2016.
NRP received $12.3 million of cash distributions from its 49% investment
in Ciner Wyoming during the period, which was unchanged from the
previous quarter and from Q4 2016. NRP's equity in earnings from CinerWyoming of $12.8 million increased 37% in Q4 2017, compared to Q4 2016
due to higher production levels along with higher international prices.
The higher production levels were primarily the result of production
initiatives that were undertaken earlier in 2017 to improve reliability
and increase utilization of production units.
During the year, NRP received $49.0 million in cash distributions from
Ciner Wyoming and recorded equity in earnings from Ciner Wyoming of
$40.5 million.
Construction Aggregates
Operating income for the quarter was $2.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA
was $5.1 million. Performance increased compared to the prior quarter
and Q4 2016 as a result of increased production and sales volumes,
higher margins on road construction and asphalt paving projects and
increased marine terminal activity. For the quarter, net cash provided
by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities were $4.0
million, $(0.7) million and $(0.2) million, respectively, and DCF was
$3.4 million. DCF increased compared to Q4 2016 and the prior quarter as
a result of the improved operating performance.
Operating income for the year was $6.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was
$19.8 million. These amounts improved compared to the prior year
primarily due to a higher production and sales of crushed stone, gravel
and sand, higher delivery and haul income and increased road
construction and asphalt paving projects. Net cash provided by (used in)
operating, investing activities and financing activities were $15.7
million. $(6.5) million and $(1.3) million, respectively, and DCF was
$10.2 million.
Corporate and Finance
Total costs in Q4 2017 were $23.8 million, which includes $19.2 million
of interest expense. While these amounts were in line with the previous
quarter, total corporate and financing costs decreased 22% compared to
the same period last year due to lower interest expense and the LTIP
awards expensed in Q4 2016 in connection with NRP's recapitalization
transactions.
Total costs in 2017 were $112.6, which includes $82.2 million of
interest expense, $7.9 million of debt modification expense and $4.1
million loss on extinguishment of debt.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that
address activities, events or developments that the partnership expects,
believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain
assumptions made by the partnership based on its experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the
circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of
assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the
control of the partnership. These risks include, but are not
limited to, commodity prices; decreases in demand for coal, aggregates
and industrial minerals, including trona/soda ash; changes in operating
conditions and costs; production cuts by our lessees; unanticipated
geologic problems; our liquidity, leverage and access to capital and
financing sources; changes in the legislative or regulatory environment,
and other factors detailed in Natural Resource Partners’ Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. Natural Resource Partners L.P. has no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Distributable Cash Flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that
we define as net cash provided by operating activities of continuing
operations plus returns of equity from unconsolidated investment,
proceeds from sales of assets, including those included in discontinued
operations, and return of long-term contract receivables (including
affiliate); less maintenance capital expenditures and distributions to
non-controlling interest. DCF 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. DCF may not be
calculated the same for us as for other companies. In addition, DCF
presented below is not calculated or presented on the same basis as
Distributable Cash Flow as defined in our partnership agreement, which
is used as a metric to determine whether we are able to increase
quarterly distributions to our common unitholders. DCF is a supplemental
liquidity measure used by our management and by external users of our
financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research
analysts and others to assess the Partnership's ability to make cash
distributions to our common and preferred unitholders and our general
partner and repay debt.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure
that we define as net income (loss) from continuing operations less
equity earnings from unconsolidated investment and gain on reserve swap;
plus distributions from unconsolidated investment, interest expense,
net, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt,
depreciation, depletion and amortization and asset impairments. Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful
than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners,
operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other
measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as
measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt
obligations. There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA
as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the
effect of certain recurring items that materially affect our net income
(loss), the lack of comparability of results of operations of different
companies and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA
reported by different companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA presented
below is not calculated or presented on the same basis as Consolidated
EBITDA as defined in our partnership agreement or Consolidated EBITDDA
as defined in Opco's debt agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental
performance measure used by our management and by external users of our
financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research
analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets
without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical
cost basis.
“Adjusted Net Income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that we
define as Net income attributable to common unitholders and general
partner plus restructuring transaction expenses that include debt
modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and
restructuring-related incentive compensation expense, asset impairments
and income (loss) from discontinued operations; less gain on sale of
assets and non-cash revenue associated with lease modifications or
terminations. Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash
flows provided by operating, investing and financial activities, or
other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Our management team believes Adjusted net income is useful in
evaluating our financial performance because restructuring transaction
expenses are one time charges, gains on asset sales are not related to
the operations of our business and asset impairments are non-cash
charges. Excluding these from net income allows us to better compare
results from ongoing operations period-over-period.
“Adjusted Coal Royalty and Other Operating Income” is a
non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Coal royalty and other
operating income plus asset impairments; less gains on asset sales and
non-cash revenue associated with lease modifications and terminations.
Adjusted coal royalty and other operating income should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss),
net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing and
financial activities, or other income or cash flow statement data
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management team believes Adjusted
coal royalty and other operating income is useful in evaluating our
financial performance because gains on asset sales are not related to
the operations of our business and asset impairments and non-cash
revenue associated with lease modifications and forfeitures are non-cash
charges. Excluding these from Coal royalty and other operating income
allows us to better compare results from ongoing operations
period-over-period.
