PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - unaudited
For the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2014
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. | Organization |
Penn Virginia Corporation (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and natural gas in various onshore regions of the United States. Our current operations consist primarily of the drilling of unconventional horizontal development wells and are currently concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also have operations in the Granite Wash in Oklahoma, the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley in East Texas and the Selma Chalk in Mississippi, the latter of which we have agreed to sell.
2. | Basis of Presentation |
Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of our subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of these statements involves the use of estimates and judgments where appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Certain amounts for the 2013 period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method upon adoption. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of ASU 2014-09 on our ongoing financial reporting.
Management has evaluated all activities of the Company, through the date upon which our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. As discussed in Note 3 below, the following events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014 for which appropriate recognition or disclosure has been made in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes: (i) in July 2014 we entered into an agreement to acquire significant additional Eagle Ford acreage in Lavaca County, Texas, (ii) in July 2014, we received the arbitrator’s determination with respect to our Eagle Ford acquisition in 2013 (the “EF Acquisition”) and (iii) in July 2014, we completed a sale of rights to construct an oil gathering system in South Texas. Except for the aforementioned developments, management has concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. | Acquisitions and Divestitures |
Acquisitions
Undeveloped Eagle Ford Acreage
In July 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 13,125 gross (11,660 net) Eagle Ford acres in Lavaca County, Texas for approximately $45 million, of which approximately $34 million will be paid at closing and the balance of approximately $11 million will be paid over time as a drilling carry. The transaction is expected to close in August 2014 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
EF Acquisition
On April 24, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired producing properties and undeveloped leasehold interests in the Eagle Ford. The EF Acquisition was originally valued at $401 million with an effective date of January 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). On the Acquisition Date we paid approximately $380 million in cash, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments related to the period from the Effective Date to the closing, and issued to the seller 10 million shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $4.23 per share. Shortly after the closing, certain of our joint interest partners exercised preferential rights related to the EF Acquisition. We received approximately $21 million from the exercise of
7
these rights, which was recorded as a decrease to our purchase price for the EF Acquisition. Subsequent to the Acquisition Date and through December 31, 2013, we paid a total of $22.5 million, net to settle working capital adjustments assumed in the EF Acquisition.
Commencing December 2013, we were involved in an arbitration with Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“MHR”), the seller in our EF Acquisition. The arbitration related to disputes we had with MHR regarding contractual adjustments to the purchase price for the EF Acquisition and suspense funds that we believed MHR was obligated to transfer to us. Effective with the one-year anniversary of the Acquisition Date, we recorded a receivable for final purchase price adjustments representing management’s estimate of the outcome of the arbitration. On July 29, 2014, we received the arbitrator’s determination, which indicates that MHR is required to pay us approximately $31.0 million of purchase price adjustments and to transfer to us approximately $2.7 million of revenue suspense funds due to partners and royalty owners. The award is consistent with the estimate made by management. We are also entitled to interest on the funds since the Acquisition Date.
We accounted for the EF Acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting as of the Acquisition Date. The following table represents the fair values assigned to the net assets acquired and the consideration paid:
Assets | ||||
Oil and gas properties - proved | $ | 267,688 | ||
Oil and gas properties - unproved | 119,709 | |||
Accounts receivable, net | 107,345 | |||
Other assets | 2,068 | |||
496,810 | ||||
Liabilities | ||||
Accounts payable and accrued expenses | 94,771 | |||
Other liabilities | 1,500 | |||
96,271 | ||||
Net assets acquired | $ | 400,539 | ||
Cash, net of amounts received for preferential rights | $ | 358,239 | ||
Fair value of the Shares issued to MHR | 42,300 | |||
Consideration paid | $ | 400,539 |
The fair values of the acquired net assets were measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to valuation of oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future cash flows and (v) a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. Because many of these inputs are not observable, we have classified the fair value estimates as level 3 inputs as that term is defined in U.S. GAAP.
The results of operations attributable to the EF Acquisition have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the Acquisition Date. The following table presents unaudited summary pro forma financial information for the periods presented assuming the EF Acquisition and the related financing occurred as of January 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been if the EF Acquisition had occurred as of this date or the results of operations for any future periods.

Divestitures
In July 2014, we sold the rights to construct a crude oil gathering and intermediate transportation system in South Texas and received proceeds of approximately $147 million, net of transaction costs. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into long-term agreements with the buyer to provide us gathering and intermediate pipeline transportation services for a substantial portion of our South Texas crude oil and condensate production.
8
In June 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Selma Chalk assets (primarily natural gas) in Mississippi for gross cash proceeds of $72.7 million. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014 and we anticipate receiving approximately $71 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs and customary closing adjustments. An impairment charge of $117.9 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2014 with respect to these assets.
In January 2014, we sold our natural gas gathering and gas lift assets in South Texas and received proceeds of approximately $96 million. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a long-term agreement with the buyer to provide us natural gas gathering and compression services for a substantial portion of our South Texas natural gas production. We realized a gain of $67.3 million of which $56.7 million was recognized upon the closing of the transaction and the remaining $10.6 million was deferred and is being recognized over a twenty-five year period. We amortized $0.1 million and $0.2 million of the deferred gain during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, $0.4 million of the remaining deferred gain is included as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $10.0 million, representing the noncurrent portion, is included as a component of Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Accounts Receivable and Major Customers

1 Comprised substantially of amounts due from the seller and other parties for purchase price adjustments attributable to the EF Acquisition.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, four customers accounted for $148.8 million, or approximately 55%, of our consolidated product revenues. The revenues generated from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $48.4 million, $35.5 million, $34.0 million and $30.9 million or 18%, 13%, 13% and 11% of the consolidated total, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, $52.3 million, or approximately 52% of our consolidated accounts receivable from customers was related to these customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, four customers accounted for $93.1 million, or approximately 48% of our consolidated product revenues. The revenues generated from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $31.3 million, $21.9 million, $20.5 million and $19.4 million or approximately 16%, 11%, 11% and 10% of the consolidated total, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, $50.7 million, or approximately 54% of our consolidated accounts receivable from customers, was related to these customers. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts owed to us by any of these customers.
5. | Derivative Instruments |
We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to crude oil and natural gas price volatility and, from time to time, the volatility in interest rates attributable to our debt instruments. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges.
Commodity Derivatives
We utilize collars, swaps and swaptions, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are acceptable credit risks, to hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with anticipated sales of our future oil and gas production. While the use of derivative instruments limits the risk of adverse price movements, such use may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements.
The counterparty to a collar or swap contract is required to make a payment to us if the settlement price for any settlement period is below the floor or swap price for such contract. We are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price for any settlement period is above the ceiling or swap price for such contract. Neither party is required to make a payment to the other party if the settlement price for any settlement period is equal to or greater than the floor price and equal to or less than the ceiling price for such contract. A swaption contract gives our counterparties the option to enter into a fixed price swap with us at a future date. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is higher than or equal to the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the counterparty will exercise its option to enter into a fixed price swap at the swaption strike price for the term of the swaption, at which point the contract functions as a fixed price swap. If the forward
9
commodity price for the term of the swaption is lower than the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the option expires and no fixed price swap is in effect.
We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil closing prices as of the end of the reporting period. The discounted cash flows utilize discount rates adjusted for the credit risk of our counterparties if the derivative is in an asset position and our own credit risk if the derivative is in a liability position.

Revolving Credit Facility
The revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) provides for a $450 million revolving commitment. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $150 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is re-determined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. Upon the expected closing of the sale of our Selma Chalk assets in the third quarter of 2014, the borrowing base will be reduced from $475 million to $437.5 million. The next semi-annual redetermination is scheduled for November 2014. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017. We had letters of credit of $1.7 million outstanding as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $393.3 million.
Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2014, the actual interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver was 1.6875% which is derived from an Adjusted LIBOR rate of 0.1875% plus an applicable margin of 1.50%. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on
12
the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2014, commitment fees were being charged at a rate of 0.375%.
The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio is defined in the Revolver to include, among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability and may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Revolver, may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 through June 30, 2014, 4.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2014 and then 4.0 to 1.0 through maturity.
2019 Senior Notes
The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. Beginning in April 2015, we may redeem all or part of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price starting at 103.625% of the principal amount and reducing to 100% in June 2017 and thereafter. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2020 Senior Notes
The 2020 Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2013, bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The guarantees provided by Penn Virginia, which is the parent company, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Revolver and the senior indebtedness described above are full and unconditional and joint and several. Substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The parent company and its non-guarantor subsidiaries have no material independent assets or operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company or any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to obtain funds through dividends or other means, including advances and intercompany notes, among others.
8. | Income Taxes |
We recognized an income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 at an effective rate of 34.2%. The effective tax rate reflects the adverse effect of losses incurred in certain jurisdictions for which we may not realize a tax benefit and have therefore recorded a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. The impact of recording a valuation allowance during the period resulted in a decrease to both the total tax benefit being recognized and the overall effective tax rate. Due to the loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit at an effective rate of 35.0%. The income tax benefit included the effect of deferred tax asset valuation allowance due primarily to the inability to recognize tax benefits for certain state net operating losses.

10. | Fair Value Measurements |
We apply the authoritative accounting provisions for measuring fair value of both our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is an exit price representing the expected amount we would receive upon the sale of an asset or that we would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.
Our financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivatives and long-term debt. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except the portion of long-term debt with fixed interest rates, approximated fair value.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our long-term debt with fixed interest rates, which is estimated based on the published market prices for these debt obligations, as of the dates presented:

Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one level of the fair value hierarchy to another level. In such instances, the transfer is deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the quarterly period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
15
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values for the financial assets and liabilities described below:
• | Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and NYMEX Henry Hub gas closing prices as of the end of the reporting periods. We generally use the income approach, using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted value. Each of these is a level 2 input. |
• | Assets of SERP: We hold various publicly traded equity securities in a Rabbi Trust as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs. |
• | Deferred compensation - SERP obligations: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain assets, including those held in the Rabbi Trust. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs. |
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements utilized in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are those attributable to the recognition and measurement of net assets acquired, the recognition and measurement of asset impairments and the initial determination of AROs. The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of recognizing and measuring net assets acquired and asset impairments include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, indicative sales prices for properties, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the amounts as level 3 inputs.
The determination of the fair value of AROs is based upon regional market and facility specific information. The amount of an ARO and the costs capitalized represent the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor after discounting the future cost back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using a rate commensurate with the risk, which approximates our cost of funds. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the initial estimates as level 3 inputs.
11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Drilling and Completion Commitments
We have agreements to purchase oil and gas well drilling and well completion services from third parties with remaining terms of up to 14 months. The well drilling agreements include early termination provisions that would require us to pay penalties if we terminate the agreements prior to the end of their original terms. The amount of penalty is based on the number of days remaining in the contractual term. As of June 30, 2014, the penalty amount would have been $13.3 million if we had terminated our agreements on that date.
Other Commitments
We have contracts that provide firm transportation capacity rights for specified volumes per day on various pipeline systems with terms that range from 1 to 15 years. The contracts require us to pay transportation demand charges regardless of the amount of pipeline capacity we use. We may sell excess capacity to third parties at our discretion.
We have a long-term agreement that provides natural gas gathering and compression services for a substantial portion of our natural gas production in the South Texas region through 2038. The agreement requires us to make certain minimum fee payments regardless of the volume of natural gas production for the first three years of the term. The minimum fee requirements for 2014 through 2016 are $3.7 million, $4.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
As discussed in Note 3, we entered into long-term agreements that provide gathering and intermediate pipeline transportation services for a substantial portion of our crude oil and condensate production in the South Texas region. Our obligations under the agreements are expected to begin in March 2015 when construction of the gathering, transportation and delivery point facilities is completed. The agreements require us to commit certain minimum volumes of crude oil production for the first ten years of the agreements’ terms, which will result in minimum fee requirements of $13.7 million on an annual basis.
Legal and Regulatory
We are involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that these claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. During 2010, we established a $0.9 million reserve for a litigation matter pertaining to certain properties that remains outstanding as of June 30, 2014. In addition to the reserve for litigation, we maintain a suspense account which includes approximately $2.2 million representing the excess of
16
revenues received over costs incurred attributable to these properties. As of June 30, 2014, we also have AROs of approximately $5.7 million attributable to the plugging of abandoned wells.

1 Includes dividends of $300.00 per share of our 6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
2 Includes equity-classified share-based compensation of $1,651 and $3,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
3 A total of 2,620 shares, or 262,012 depositary shares, of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 4,366,872 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We made payments of $3.4 million to induce the conversion of 2,593 of these shares.
4 The Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) is entirely attributable to our defined benefit pension and postretirement health care plans. The changes in the balance of AOCI for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 represent reclassifications from AOCI to net periodic benefit expense, a component of General and administrative expenses, of $75 and $58 and are presented above net of taxes of $26 and $20.
In June 2014, we completed a private offering of 3,250,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/100th interest in a share, or 32,500 shares, of our 6% Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), that provided approximately $314 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees and issuance costs.
The annual dividend on each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.
Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $18.34 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 545.17 shares of our common stock for each share of the Series B Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 30 percent relative to the last reported sales price of $14.11 per common share prior to the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after July 15, 2019, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder elects to convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock
17
upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value.
13. | Share-Based Compensation |
The Penn Virginia Corporation 2013 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) permits the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, common stock, deferred common stock units, restricted stock and restricted stock units to our employees and directors. We recognize compensation expense related to our LTI Plan in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
With the exception of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), all of the awards issued under our LTI Plan are classified as equity instruments because they result in the issuance of common stock on the date of grant, upon exercise or are otherwise payable in common stock upon vesting, as applicable. The compensation cost attributable to these awards is measured at the grant date and recognized over the applicable vesting period as a non-cash item of expense. Because the PBRSUs are payable in cash, they are considered liability-classified awards and are included in the Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (current portion) and Other liabilities (noncurrent portion) captions on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation cost associated with the PBRSUs is measured at the end of each reporting period and recognized based on the period of time that has elapsed during each of the individual performance periods.
The following table summarizes our share-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:

14. | Restructuring and Exit Activities |
We have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result of the sale of our natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia in 2012, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. We recognized an obligation in 2012 representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract. The activity summarized below includes contractual payments on our obligations as well as the recognition of accretion expense and adjustments associated with changes in estimates.
The following table summarizes our restructuring and exit activity-related obligations and the changes therein for the periods presented:

Restructuring charges are included in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accretion of the firm transportation obligation, net of any recoveries from the periodic sale of our contractual capacity, is charged as an offset to Other revenue.
The current portion of our restructuring and exit cost obligations is included in the Accounts payable and accrued liabilities caption and the noncurrent portion is included in the Other liabilities caption on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2014, $3.0 million of the total obligations are classified as current while the remaining $12.6 million are classified as noncurrent.

1 Preferred stock dividends were excluded for diluted earnings per share as the assumed conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock would have been anti-dilutive. There were no dividends declared on the Series B Preferred stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
2 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, approximately 18.8 million and 17.2 million, respectively, potentially dilutive securities, including the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, stock options and restricted stock units, had the effect of being anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, approximately 19.2 million and 0.1 million, respectively, potentially dilutive securities, including the Series A Preferred Stock, stock options and restricted stock units, had the effect of being anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

Item 2 | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Penn Virginia Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1. All dollar amounts presented in the tables that follow are in thousands unless otherwise indicated. Certain year-over-year changes are presented as not meaningful, or “NM,” where disclosure of the actual value does not otherwise enhance the analysis. Also, due to the combination of different units of volumetric measure and the number of decimal places presented, certain results may not calculate explicitly from the values presented in the tables.
Overview of Business
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas in various onshore regions of the United States. Our current operations consist primarily of the drilling of unconventional horizontal development wells and are currently concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also have operations in the Granite Wash in Oklahoma, the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley in East Texas and the Selma Chalk in Mississippi, the latter of which we have agreed to sell. As of December 31, 2013, we had proved oil and gas reserves of approximately 136 million barrels of oil equivalent, or MMBOE (approximately 122 MMBOE excluding our Selma Chalk assets in Mississippi).

In the three months ended June 30, 2014, our crude oil and NGL production increased to 70 percent of our total production continuing a trend consistent with our liquids-focused strategy. Our cash margin, or aggregate realized prices less total operating costs excluding equity-classified and liability-classified share-based compensation, increased $5.47 per barrel of oil equivalent, or BOE, or 12 percent, to $50.45 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $44.98 per BOE for the corresponding period in 2013. The cash margin increased $10.07 per BOE, or 24 percent, to $52.16 per BOE when compared to $42.09 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The higher cash margins are attributable primarily to higher liquids production and higher NGL and natural gas prices compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Consistent with our growth in cash margins, our cash from operating activities, excluding working capital changes, increased approximately $37 million, or 36 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared the corresponding period of the prior year.
Our growth in crude oil and NGL production has been focused exclusively in the Eagle Ford in South Texas. Since our initial acquisition in this region in 2010, we have drilled and turned in line 219 gross (141.5 net) wells through July 25, 2014. We are currently operating a total of six drilling rigs in the Eagle Ford and have plans in place to increase the total to eight rigs by the end of September 2014. Our capital program, of which approximately 98 percent is dedicated to the Eagle Ford, is being financed with a combination of cash from operating activities, the sale of non-core assets, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, and our recent preferred equity offering.
Key Developments
The following general business developments and corporate actions had or will have a significant impact on the financial reporting and disclosure of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows: (i) drilling results and future development plans in the Eagle Ford, (ii) the acquisition of additional Eagle Ford acreage, (iii) recent preferred stock transactions, (iv) the sale of Mississippi assets, South Texas oil gathering rights and natural gas gathering and gas lift assets and (v) the resolution of arbitration related to our Eagle Ford acquisition in 2013.
Drilling Results and Future Development Plans for the Eagle Ford
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we operated six drilling rigs and completed 27 gross (15.0 net) wells in the Eagle Ford. Our Eagle Ford production was 15,618 net barrels of oil equivalent per day, or BOEPD, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 with oil comprising 11,744 BOPD, or 75 percent and NGLs and natural gas comprising approximately 13 percent and 12 percent. Our Eagle Ford oil production was two percent higher than 11,511 BOPD in the first quarter of 2014. In the Eagle Ford, we have a total of 219 gross (141.5 net) producing wells, 11 gross (6.3 net) wells completing, 11 gross (5.0 net) wells waiting on completion and six gross (4.6 net) wells being drilled as of July 25, 2014.
We intend to add a seventh rig to our Eagle Ford drilling program in August 2014 and an eighth rig in September 2014. We have increased the drilling and completion component of our capital expenditures program accordingly. As a result of the additional rigs, we expect to turn in line 68 gross (39.0 net) wells during the remainder of 2014, for a total of 111 (67.0 net) operated wells, excluding shallow wells, being turned in line during 2014, along with a production contribution associated with the seventh and eighth rigs of 700 to 800 MBOE in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Through July 25, 2014 we have tested three Upper Eagle Ford (Marl) and for the remainder of 2014, we have 19 additional Upper Eagle Ford wells planned to spud, with eight of those scheduled as development wells in the same area as our three initial test wells.
Acquisition of Additional Eagle Ford Acreage
In July 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 13,125 gross (11,660 net) acres in Lavaca County, Texas, the vast majority of which are in the “volatile oil window” of the Eagle Ford, for approximately $45 million, of which approximately $34 million will be paid at closing and the balance of approximately $11 million will be paid over time as a drilling carry. The transaction is expected to close in August 2014 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction, combined with recent leasing, will bring our total Eagle Ford acreage position to approximately 143,200 gross (102,000 net) acres which to a large extent are contiguous. The acquired acreage is adjacent to our Shiner area, most of which we expect will be prospective in the Upper Eagle Ford.
Preferred Stock Offering and Induced Conversion of Outstanding Preferred Stock
In June 2014, we completed a private offering of 3,250,000 depositary shares each representing 1/100th interest in a share of our 6% Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the Series B Preferred Stock, that provided approximately $314 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees and issuance costs. Concurrently, we paid $3.4 million to induce the conversion of 2,593 shares, or 259,262 depositary shares, of our 6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the Series A Preferred Stock. A total of 4.3 million shares of our common stock were issued in connection with the induced
22
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, an additional 93 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been converted resulting in issuance of an additional 1.6 million shares of our common stock.
Sale of Mississippi Assets
In June 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Selma Chalk assets (primarily natural gas) in Mississippi for gross cash proceeds of $72.7 million. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014 and we anticipate receiving approximately $71 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs and customary closing adjustments. An impairment charge of $117.9 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2014 to write down these assets to their estimated fair value..
Sale of Rights to Construct an Oil Gathering System in South Texas
In July 2014, we sold the rights to construct a crude oil gathering and intermediate transportation system in South Texas and received proceeds of approximately $147 million, net of transaction costs. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into long-term agreements with the buyer to provide us gathering and intermediate pipeline transportation services for a substantial portion of our South Texas crude oil and condensate production.
Sale of South Texas Natural Gas Gathering and Gas Lift Assets
In January 2014, we sold our natural gas gathering and gas lift assets in South Texas and received proceeds of approximately $96 million, net of transaction costs. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a long-term agreement with the buyer to provide us natural gas gathering and compression services for a substantial portion of our South Texas natural gas production. We realized a gain of $67.3 million of which $56.7 million was recognized upon the closing of the transaction and the remaining $10.6 million was deferred and is being recognized over a twenty-five year period.
Arbitration Developments
Commencing December 2013, we were involved in an arbitration with Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, or MHR, the seller in our 2013 Eagle Ford property acquisition, or EF Acquisition. The arbitration related to disputes we had with MHR regarding contractual adjustments to the purchase price for the EF Acquisition and suspense funds that we believed MHR was obligated to transfer to us. Effective with the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date, we recorded a receivable for final purchase price adjustments representing management’s estimate of the outcome of the arbitration. On July 29, 2014, we received the arbitrator’s determination, which indicates that MHR is required to pay us approximately $31.0 million of purchase price adjustments and to transfer to us approximately $2.7 million of revenue suspense funds due to partners and royalty owners. The award is consistent with the estimate made by management. We are also entitled to interest on the funds since the acquisition date.

Total production increased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period of 2013 due primarily to production from the properties acquired and developed from the EF Acquisition and the continued expansion of our legacy development program in South Texas. The increase was partially offset by natural production declines in our East Texas, Mid-Continent and Mississippi regions. Approximately 70% of total production during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was attributable to oil and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 30% over the prior year period. During
24
the three months ended June 30, 2014, our Eagle Ford production represented approximately 72% of our total production compared to approximately 60% from this play during the corresponding period of 2013.

Effects of Derivatives
Our oil and gas revenues may change significantly from period to period as a result of changes in commodity prices. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge oil and gas prices. In the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $7.2 million and received $2.2 million, respectively, in cash settlements of oil and gas derivatives. The following table reconciles crude oil and natural gas revenues to realized prices, as adjusted for derivative activities, for the periods presented:

Per unit of production excluding all share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses identified above ($/BOE) | $ | 5.97 | $ | 5.79 | $ | (0.18 | ) | (3 | )% |
On an absolute and unit of production basis, our general and administrative expenses, excluding liability and equity-classified share-based compensation increased marginally during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period reflecting higher employee benefits charges and the overall growth in scale of our operations. Liability-classified share-based compensation is attributable to our performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs, and represents mark-to-market charges associated with the increase in fair value of the 2012 through 2014 PBRSU grants. The increase in the fair value of the PBRSUs is attributable to our common stock performance relative to a defined peer group. Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to stock options and restricted stock units, which represent non-cash expenses, decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to fewer employees receiving grants. In 2013, we incurred transaction costs associated with the EF Acquisition including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees. In 2014, we incurred costs including legal and litigation support fees attributable to our ongoing arbitration with the seller from the EF Acquisition transaction. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we also incurred certain costs not eligible for capitalization, including post-implementation support and training with respect to our recently completed ERP system replacement.

$ | 3,373 | $ | 7,845 | $ | 4,472 | 57 | % |
Unproved leasehold amortization decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to the classification of our unproved property in the Eagle Ford as a “significant leasehold” effective July 1, 2013. Accordingly, our unproved acreage in this region is no longer subject to systematic amortization. Geological and geophysical costs decreased due to lower seismic data acquisition costs in the current year period. Delay rentals decreased as the prior year period included charges attributable to undeveloped acreage acquired in connection with the EF Acquisition.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A)

Impairments
In June 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Selma Chalk assets (primarily natural gas) in Mississippi for gross cash proceeds of $72.7 million. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014 and we anticipate receiving approximately $71.0 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs and customary closing adjustments. An impairment charge of $117.9 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2014 with respect to these assets.

Weighted-average debt outstanding | $ | 1,303,000 | $ | 1,028,688 | ||||||||||
Weighted average interest rate | 7.62 | % | 8.49 | % |
Interest expense increased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to higher overall weighted-average debt outstanding attributable to the issuance of the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020, or 2020 Senior Notes, in April 2013, and higher average outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by higher capitalized interest resulting from the significant increase in the value of our proved undeveloped and unproved properties following the EF Acquisition and the absence of accretion of original issue discount attributable to the 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016, or 2016 Senior Notes which were retired in connection with a tender offer and a redemption, or the Tender Offer and the Redemption in May 2013. The weighted-average interest rate declined during the three months ended June 30, 2014 due
28
primarily to the replacement of the 2016 Senior Notes with the 2020 Senior Notes as well as borrowings under the Revolver, which carry lower interest rates.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In May 2013, we completed the Tender Offer and the Redemption for all of our outstanding 2016 Senior Notes. We paid a total of $330.9 million including consent payments and accrued interest and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt included non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes.

We recognized income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 at effective tax rates of 36.0% and 35.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate reflects the adverse effect of losses incurred in certain jurisdictions for which we may not realize a tax benefit and have therefore recorded a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. Additionally, our effective tax rate is also adversely impacted by the amount of losses in certain subsidiaries relative to taxable income of the Company.

Total production increased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period of 2013 due primarily to production from the properties acquired and developed from the EF Acquisition and the continued expansion of our legacy development program in South Texas. The increase was partially offset by natural production declines in our East Texas, Mid-Continent and Mississippi regions. Approximately 69% of total production during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was attributable to oil and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 37% over the prior year period. During
30
the six months ended June 30, 2014, our Eagle Ford production represented approximately 71% of our total production compared to approximately 54% from this play during the corresponding period of 2013.

Effects of Derivatives
Our oil and gas revenues may change significantly from period to period as a result of changes in commodity prices. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge oil and gas prices. In the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $10.3 million and received $5.8 million, respectively, in cash settlements of oil and gas derivatives. The following table reconciles crude oil and natural gas revenues to realized prices, as adjusted for derivative activities, for the periods presented:

Gain (Loss) on Sales of Property and Equipment
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a gain of $56.8 million in connection with the sale of our gathering assets in South Texas, including $56.7 million recognized upon the closing of the sale and $0.2 million attributable to the amortization of the deferred portion of the gain. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a loss related to certain properties in West Virginia associated with our 2012 sale of Appalachian natural gas assets.
Other Revenues
Other income includes gathering, transportation, compression and water supply and disposal fees, net of marketing and related expenses. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was attributable to income related to water supply and disposal.

Lease operating expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to higher chemical, water disposal and labor costs associated with the expansion of operations in the South Texas region. In addition we incurred higher
32
compression costs attributable to higher natural gas production in South Texas. As discussed in Key Developments, we sold our natural gas gathering assets in the South Texas region and entered into an agreement with the buyer to provide us natural gas gathering and compression services. We began incurring costs for these services in February 2014. We also incurred higher downhole maintenance costs, particularly in our East Texas region, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Gathering, processing and transportation charges decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2014, due primarily to lower natural gas and NGL production volume in our East Texas, Mid-Continent and Mississippi regions. The decrease was offset partially by gathering charges for natural gas and NGL production in the South Texas region attributable to the new gathering and compression services agreement discussed above.

Per unit of production excluding all share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses identified above ($/BOE) | $ | 5.55 | $ | 6.24 | 0.69 | 11 | % |
On a unit of production basis, our general and administrative expenses, excluding liability and equity-classified share-based compensation declined during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the 2013 period reflecting the growth in scale of our operations. Liability-classified share-based compensation is attributable to our performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs, and represents mark-to-market charges associated with the increase in fair value of the 2012 through 2014 PBRSU grants. The increase in the fair value of the PBRSUs is attributable to our common stock performance relative to a defined peer group. Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to stock options and restricted stock units, which represent non-cash expenses, decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to fewer employees receiving grants. In 2013, we incurred transaction costs associated with the EF Acquisition including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees. In 2014, we incurred costs including legal and litigation support fees attributable to our ongoing arbitration with the seller from the EF Acquisition transaction. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we also incurred certain costs not eligible for capitalization, including post-implementation support and training with respect to our recently
33
completed ERP system replacement. Similar charges incurred during the prior year period include preliminary project analysis costs.
Exploration

$ | 12,009 | $ | 14,140 | $ | 2,131 | 15 | % |
Unproved leasehold amortization decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to the classification of our unproved property in the Eagle Ford as a “significant leasehold” effective July 1, 2013. Accordingly, our unproved acreage in this region is no longer subject to systematic amortization. Geological and geophysical costs increased as a result of the acquisition of certain seismic data attributable to our drilling program in South Texas and other regions. Delay rentals decreased as the prior year period included charges attributable to undeveloped acreage acquired in connection with the EF Acquisition.

The effect of higher overall production volumes as well as higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production were the primary factors attributable to the increase in DD&A. Our average DD&A rate increased due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our drilling program in the Eagle Ford.
Impairments
In June 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Selma Chalk assets (primarily natural gas) in Mississippi for gross cash proceeds of $72.7 million. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014 and we anticipate receiving approximately $71.0 million of proceeds, net of transaction costs and customary closing adjustments. An impairment charge of $117.9 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2014 with respect to these assets.

Weighted-average debt outstanding | $ | 1,249,615 | $ | 851,483 | ||||||||||
Weighted average interest rate | 7.84 | % | 8.54 | % |
Interest expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to higher overall weighted-average debt outstanding attributable to the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes, in April 2013, and higher average outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by higher capitalized interest resulting
34
from the significant increase in the value of our proved undeveloped and unproved properties following the EF Acquisition and the absence of accretion of original issue discount attributable to the 2016 Senior Notes which were retired in connection with the Tender Offer and the Redemption in May 2013. The weighted-average interest rate declined during the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to the replacement of the 2016 Senior Notes with the 2020 Senior Notes as well as borrowings under the Revolver, which carry lower interest rates.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In May 2013, we completed the Tender Offer and the Redemption, for all of our outstanding 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016, or 2016 Senior Notes. We paid a total of $330.9 million including consent payments and accrued interest and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt included non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes.

We recognized income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 at effective tax rates of 34.2% and 35.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate reflects the adverse effect of losses incurred in certain jurisdictions for which we may not realize a tax benefit and have therefore recorded a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. Additionally, our effective tax rate is also adversely impacted by the amount of losses in certain subsidiaries relative to taxable income of the Company.

Financial Condition
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash from operating activities, borrowings under our Revolver, proceeds from the sale of non-core assets and, when appropriate, proceeds from capital market transactions including the sale of debt and equity securities. Our cash flows from operating activities are subject to significant volatility due to changes in commodity prices for our crude oil, NGL and natural gas products as well as variations in our production. The prices for these commodities are driven by a number of factors beyond our control including global and regional product supply and demand, weather, product distribution, refining and processing capacity and other supply chain dynamics, among others.
Our business plan contemplates capital expenditures in excess of our projected cash from operating activities for 2014 and 2015. Subject to the variability of commodity prices and production that impact our cash from operating activities, anticipated timing of our capital projects and unanticipated expenditures such as acquisitions, we plan to fund our remaining 2014 capital program with cash from operating activities, borrowings under the Revolver, proceeds from the sales of non-core assets and supplemental issues of debt and equity, if appropriate. We have no debt maturities until September 2017 when the Revolver matures. We believe that our cash from operating activities, borrowing capacity under the Revolver and the projected proceeds from the sales of non-core assets will be sufficient to meet our debt service, preferred stock dividend and working capital requirements as well as our anticipated capital expenditures.
Capital Resources
In 2014, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding any acquisitions, of up to approximately $808 million. Based on expenditures to date and forecasted activity for the remainder of 2014, we expect to allocate 98% of our capital expenditures to the Eagle Ford. This allocation includes approximately 82 percent for drilling and completions, 14 percent for leasehold acquisition and four percent for facilities and other projects. The total forecasted activity assumes a drilling program utilizing a seven operated drilling rigs in the Eagle Ford increasing to eight in September 2014. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend, or the allocations, based on available opportunities, industry conditions, cash from operating activities and the overall availability of capital. For a detailed analysis of our historical capital expenditures, see the Cash Flows discussion that follows.

We actively manage the exposure of our revenues to commodity price fluctuations by hedging the commodity price risk for a portion of our expected production, typically through the use of collar, swap and swaption contracts. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the instruments employed depend on our cash flow at risk, available hedge prices, the magnitude of our capital program and our operating strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our commodity derivatives portfolio resulted in $8.4 million of net cash payments related to higher than anticipated prices received for our crude oil production and $1.9 million of net cash payments attributable to higher than anticipated prices received for our natural gas production.
We have hedged approximately 12,500 barrels of daily crude oil production, or approximately 70 percent of our estimated crude oil production for the remainder of 2014, at a weighted-average floor/swap price of $92.80 per barrel. For 2015 and 2016, we have hedged approximately 11,500 and 3,000 barrels of daily crude oil production at weighted-average floor/swap prices of $90.17 and $90.84 per barrel. In addition, we have hedged 10,000 million British Thermal Units, or MMBtu, of daily natural gas production, or approximately 25 percent of our estimated natural gas production for the remainder of 2014 at a weighted-average floor/swap price of $4.20 per MMBtu. For the first quarter of 2015, we have hedged 5,000 MMBtu of daily natural gas production at a weighted-average floor/swap price of $4.50 per MMBtu.
Revolver Borrowings. The Revolver provides for a $450 million revolving commitment. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $150 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is re-determined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. Upon the expected closing of the sale of our Selma Chalk assets in the third quarter of 2014, the borrowing base will be reduced by $37.5 million from $475 million to $437.5 million. The next semi-annual redetermination is scheduled for November 2014. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017. We had letters of credit of $1.7 million outstanding as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $393.3 million.
For additional information regarding the terms and covenants associated with the Revolver, see the Capitalization discussion that follows.

Proceeds from Sales of Assets. In July 2014, we received approximately $147 million, net of transactions costs, from the sale of rights to construct an oil gathering system in South Texas. In the third quarter of 2014, we expect to receive approximately $71 million of net proceeds from the sale of our Selma Chalk assets in Mississippi. In January 2014, we sold our natural gas gathering and gas lift assets in South Texas for proceeds of approximately $96 million, net of closing costs and adjustments. Furthermore, we continually evaluate potential sales of non-core assets, including certain natural gas properties and non-strategic undeveloped acreage, among others.
Capital Market Transactions. From time-to-time and under market conditions that we believe are favorable to us, we will consider capital market transactions, including the offering of debt and equity securities. Historically, we have entered into such transactions generally to facilitate certain transactions and to pursue opportunities to adjust our total capitalization. For a detailed analysis of our historical proceeds from capital markets transactions, including the Series B Preferred Stock and the 2020 Senior Notes, see the Cash Flows discussion that follows.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Crude oil and NGL production with higher operating profit resulted in higher operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013; however, this increase was essentially offset by the higher working capital requirements of our expanded drilling program. Specifically, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, we began drilling several wells with lower working interests resulting in significantly larger payments for drilling and completion costs and larger corresponding receivables from our joint interest partners when compared to the prior year period and our recent historical experience. In addition, our commodity derivatives portfolio generated net payments during the 2014 period as compared to net receipts during the 2013 period due primarily to realized crude oil and natural gas prices exceeding hedged prices. Due primarily to the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes in 2013 and higher average outstanding borrowings under the Revolver, we had significantly higher interest payments during the 2014 period.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Capital expenditures were substantially higher during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period during 2013 due primarily to a higher level of drilling activity and lease acquisitions in the Eagle Ford.
Our capital expenditures during the 2014 period were partially offset by the receipt in January 2014 of approximately $96 million of net proceeds from the sale of our natural gas gathering and gas lift assets in South Texas. A portion of those proceeds was used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. Net proceeds received during the 2013 period were attributable primarily to the assignment of certain properties in West Virginia associated with our 2012 sale of Appalachian natural gas assets that was not completed until January 2013.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. In June 2014, we issued the Series B Preferred Stock for net proceeds of approximately $314 million. Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included net repayments under the Revolver, funded primarily with proceeds from the Series B Preferred Stock and sale of our natural gas gathering assets in South Texas while the 2013 period includes net borrowings under the Revolver which were used to finance a portion of our capital program. In June 2014, we paid $3.4 million to induce the conversion of approximately 23 percent of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Both periods included dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock. In April 2013, we issued the 2020 Senior Notes which were used to fund the EF Acquisition and a portion of the Tender Offer and the Redemption of our 2016 Senior Notes. We incurred and paid costs in the 2014 and 2013 periods associated with amendments to our Revolver in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock and the 2020 Senior Notes transactions as well as costs paid in the 2013 period associated with the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes. We also received proceeds of $1.1 million during the 2014 period from the exercise of stock options.

1 Includes 8,880 and 11,500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and 32,500 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2014. Both series of preferred stock have a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share representing a total of $414 million and $115 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities, or Adjusted LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). In each case, the applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2014, the actual interest rate applicable to the Revolver was 1.6875% which is derived from an Adjusted LIBOR rate of 0.1875% plus an applicable margin of 1.50%. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2014, commitment fees were being charged at a rate of 0.375%.
The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2019 Senior Notes. The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019, or the 2019 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2013, bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
Series A Preferred Stock. The annual dividend on each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $6.00 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 1,666.67 shares of our common stock for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20 percent relative to the
39
2012 common stock offering price of $5.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after October 15, 2017, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder elects to convert shares of the Series A Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, a total of 2,620 shares, or 262,012 depositary shares, of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 4.4 million shares of common stock.
Series B Preferred Stock. The annual dividend on each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.
Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $18.34 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 545.17 shares of our common stock for each share of the Series B Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 30 percent relative to the last reported sales price of $14.11 per common share prior to the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after July 15, 2019, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder elects to convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value.
Covenant Compliance. The Revolver and the indentures associated with our senior notes require us to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants. These covenants impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends as well as our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make certain loans, acquisitions and investments, make any material change to the nature of our business, or enter into a merger or sale of our assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in our subsidiaries, among other requirements. As of June 30, 2014 and through the date upon which our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these covenants.
In the event that we would be in default of a covenant under the Revolver, we could request a waiver of the covenant from our bank group. Should the banks deny our request to waive the covenant requirement, the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver would become payable on demand and would be reclassified as a component of current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Revolver requires us to maintain certain financial covenants as follows:
• | Total debt to EBITDAX, each as defined in the Revolver, for any four consecutive quarters may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 for periods through June 30, 2014, 4.25 to 1.0 for periods through December 31, 2014 and 4.0 to 1.0 for periods through maturity in 2017. EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP measure, generally means net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, exploration expenses, impairments and other non-cash charges or losses. |
• | The current ratio, as of the last day of any quarter, may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The current ratio is generally defined as current assets to current liabilities. Current assets and current liabilities attributable to derivative instruments are excluded. In addition, current assets include the amount of any unused commitment under the Revolver. |
The indentures for our senior notes include an incurrence test which is determined by an interest coverage ratio, as defined in the indentures. The interest coverage ratio may not be less than 2.25 times consolidated EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure.
As of June 30, 2014 and through the date upon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The following table summarizes the actual results of our financial covenant compliance under the Revolver as of and for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Required | Actual | |||
Description of Covenant | Covenant | Results | ||
Total debt to EBITDAX | < 4.50 to 1 | 3.1 to 1 | ||
Current ratio | > 1.00 to 1 | 3.0 to 1 | ||
Interest coverage | > 2.25 to 1 | 3.6 to 1 |

Critical Accounting Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if the actual results differ from these estimates and judgments. Disclosure of our most critical accounting estimates that involve the judgment of our management can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
New Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method upon adoption. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of ASU 2014-09 on our ongoing financial reporting.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk is attributable to our borrowings under the Revolver, which is our only long-term debt instrument with variable interest rates. As of June 30, 2014, we had borrowings of $55 million under the Revolver at an interest rate of 1.6875%. Assuming a constant borrowing level of $55 million under the Revolver, an increase (decrease) in the interest rate of one percent would result in an increase (decrease) in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million on an annual basis.
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. As a result, our financial results are affected when prices for these commodities fluctuate. Our price risk management programs permit the utilization of derivative financial instruments (such as collars, swaps and swaptions) to seek to mitigate the price risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices as they relate to a portion of our anticipated production. The derivative instruments are placed with major financial institutions that we believe are of acceptable credit risk. The fair values of our derivative instruments are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. We have not typically entered into derivative instruments with respect to NGLs, although we may do so in the future.
As of June 30, 2014, our commodity derivative portfolio was in a net liability position. The contracts associated with this position are with seven counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with five of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. We neither paid nor received collateral with respect to our derivative positions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we reported net commodity derivative losses of $58.3 million. We have experienced and could continue to experience significant changes in the estimate of derivative gains or losses recognized due to fluctuations in the value of our derivative instruments. Our results of operations are affected by the volatility of unrealized gains and losses and changes in fair value, which fluctuate with changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. These fluctuations could be significant in a volatile pricing environment. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of our price risk management activities.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In February 2014, we completed a project to replace certain of our primary information technology platforms with an integrated ERP system. The platforms replaced included our software for processing accounting, production, lease administration and land transactions. In connection with the implementation of the new ERP system, certain of our business processes and related controls were changed. We believe that we have taken the appropriate steps to monitor the transition to the new ERP system to ensure that there are no adverse impacts to our internal control environment. Apart from the changes attributable to the new ERP system, no changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 | Legal Proceedings |
Commencing December 2013, we were involved in an arbitration with MHR, the seller in our EF Acquisition. The arbitration related to disputes we had with MHR regarding contractual adjustments to the purchase price for the EF Acquisition and suspense funds that we believed MHR was obligated to transfer to us. Effective with the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date, we recorded a receivable for final purchase price adjustments representing management’s estimate of the outcome of the arbitration. On July 29, 2014, we received the arbitrator’s determination, which indicates that MHR is required to pay us approximately $31.0 million of purchase price adjustments and to transfer to us approximately $2.7 million of revenue suspense funds due to partners and royalty owners. The award is consistent with the estimate made by management. We are also entitled to interest on the funds since the Acquisition Date.
