Natural Resource Partners L.P. today reported record revenues and distributable cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010. Annual revenues increased 18% over 2009 to a record $301.4 million. Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, increased 27% over the full year 2009 to $227.0 million. Net income attributable to the limited partners of $125.9 million increased 59% over the same period last year. Net income per unit improved 32% to $1.54 from the $1.17 per unit reported for 2009. A reconciliation of distributable cash flow to GAAP is included in the table at the end of the release.
For the fourth quarter 2010, NRP reported revenues of $77.5 million, an increase of 18% over the fourth quarter 2009.

NRP had record revenues of $301.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $45.3 million, or 18% over the prior year. Revenues rose primarily due to improved coal royalties, increased minimum royalties recognized as income and improved processing and transportation fees.
Coal royalty revenues for 2010 improved $25.2 million to $221.8 million over the full year 2009, due to a 12% or $0.51 improvement in coal royalty revenue per ton. Minimums recognized as revenues increased $12.9 million mainly due to a non-recoupable minimum received in 2010 with respect to the Hillsboro property in Illinois. In future years, the minimums received with respect to this property will be reflected as revenue only when recouped through production. In addition, coal processing and transportation fees rose $4.0 million or 20% increase due to improved pricing and additional throughput.
Metallurgical coal accounted for 32% of NRP's production and 38% of its coal royalty revenues for the calendar year 2010 compared to 26% of production and 33% of coal royalty revenues in 2009.
Fourth Quarter
NRP generated quarterly revenues of $77.5 million for the fourth quarter 2010, an 18% rise over the fourth quarter 2009 due to increases in both the production of and realized prices for coal. Production in the fourth quarter 2010 rose 7% to 12.1 million tons and the average coal royalty revenue per ton increased 9% over the same quarter last year to $4.67.
Revenues other than coal royalties increased 19%, or $3.3 million, from the fourth quarter 2009 mainly due to a $3.1 million quarterly non-recoupable minimum recognized as income for each quarter of 2010 with respect to the Hillsboro property in Illinois. After this year, minimums received with respect to this property will only be recognized as revenues when recouped through production;
Operating Expenses Full Year
Operating costs for the 2010 calendar year increased 3% or $3.2 million mainly due to increased general and administrative expenses partially offset by decreased depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization in 2009 included an $8.2 million write-off of a property as a result of a mine closure in 2009.
Fourth Quarter
NRP incurred total operating costs and expenses of $24.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, up by $2.3 million over the $22.4 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2009. This increase was mainly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses, as well as depreciation, depletion and amortization, partially offset by lower coal royalty and override payments.
Net income Full Year
Net income to the limited partners increased $47.0 million, or 59%, for the full year of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009, predominantly due to improved revenues. Included in the $47.0 million is a $7.5 million improvement due to the elimination of the incentive distribution rights in September 2010. Net income per unit for the calendar year 2010 rose by 32%, or $0.37 per unit, to $1.54 per unit, despite a 21% increase in the number of units outstanding during the respective time periods.
Fourth Quarter
Net income to the limited partners increased 52%, or $14.3 million, to $41.7 million in the fourth quarter 2010. Approximately a third of this increase was associated with increased revenues while $5.0 million was associated with the elimination of the incentive distribution rights announced by NRP in late September 2010. Net income per unit remained flat at $0.39 per unit even though there was a 53% increase in the average number of units outstanding in the fourth quarter 2010 versus the same period last year.
Distributable cash flow Full Year
Distributable cash flow increased $48.6 million, or 27%, to a record $227.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period last year due to improved revenues, primarily coal royalty revenues. Similar to 2009, NRP reserved $31.7 million from distributable cash flow to make regular scheduled payments on its senior notes.
Fourth Quarter
Distributable cash flow rose 18% over the fourth quarter of 2009 to a record $75.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, due to the improved revenues.
Fourth Quarter 2010 compared to Third Quarter 2010 4Q10 3Q10 % Change (in thousands, except per ton and per unit) Total revenues: $77,543 $80,752 (4%) Coal production: 12,113 12,367 (2%) Coal royalty revenues: $56,626 $60,142 (6%) Average coal royalty revenue per ton: $4.67 $4.86 (4%) Revenues other than coal royalty: $20,917 $20,610 1% Net income to limited partners: $41,656 $39,350 6% GAAP net income per unit: $0.39 $0.51 (24%) Adjusted net income per unit: $0.39 $0.37 5% Average units outstanding: 106,028 77,896 36% -------------------------- ------- ------ --- Distributable cash flow: $75,154 $54,227 39% ------------------------ ------- ------- --- Revenues
Total revenues for the fourth quarter 2010 declined modestly from the third quarter 2010, to $77.5 million, mainly due to a slight decrease in the realized coal royalty revenue per ton. Average coal royalty revenue per ton decreased $0.19 to $4.67 while coal production from NRP's properties declined 2% to 12.1 million tons. Revenues other than coal royalty increased modestly due to increased oil and gas royalties and coal processing fees offset by minor declines in the other categories.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 declined $5.7 million from the third quarter with declines in every classification. Cash expenses accounted for 43% of the decline while the remainder was associated with non-cash expenses.
Net income
Net income to the limited partners increased $2.3 million to $41.7 million in the fourth quarter, due to the decline in operating expenses during the fourth quarter. Net income per unit was $0.39 for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $0.37 per unit for the third quarter excluding the impact of the elimination of the incentive distribution rights.
Distributable cash flow
Distributable cash flow increased $20.9 million, or 39%, to $75.2 million due predominantly to additional receipts of minimums in the fourth quarter and a scheduled interest payment that was made on NRP's senior notes in the third quarter that lowered distributable cash flow.
Current Market
Throughout 2010 the coal markets improved. Metallurgical coal prices increased substantially in the first half of 2010 and stabilized in the second half of the year at prices approximately twice that of a year ago. In the last two months, however, the coal industry experienced significant supply disruptions from flooding in Australia, Columbia and Venezuela, and rail issues in South Africa. These disruptions have had a significant impact on spot pricing of metallurgical coal and at this time it is difficult to gauge how long supplies are going to be curtailed and the longer term impact it will have on metallurgical coal pricing. Long-term metallurgical coal supply curtailments could cause some thermal coal to shift into the metallurgical coal market, causing shortages in thermal coal as well. Demand for steam coal and for metallurgical coal has improved significantly over the last year as the economy in the United States and other countries around the globe have improved. During 2010, record coal burns at the utilities have allowed stockpiles to decline significantly from the high levels seen in 2009.
Acquisitions and Liquidity
In 2010, NRP invested approximately $179 million in acquisitions that will lead to future growth for NRP. Most of the investment was related to two projects: the Deer Run mine in the Illinois Basin and the formation of BRP, a venture with International Paper that contains the mineral rights on more than 7 million acres. Both of these projects should have increasing cash flows as NRP advances into 2012 and beyond. The Deer Run mine, currently under development, is expected to increase coal royalty production for NRP in 2011 and dramatically increase production in 2012 as the longwall production commences. BRP should begin to increase revenues as further leasing of those reserves and mineral rights occur over the next several years. NRP personnel are actively engaged in soliciting new lessees for these additional mineral rights.
Since year-end, NRP has acquired additional reserves associated with the Deer Run mine for $70 million. Commitments for the remainder of 2011 on Deer Run are anticipated to be $40 million.
In the third quarter, NRP took a major step in simplifying its corporate structure. On September 20, NRP issued 32 million units to the holders of the incentive distribution rights in exchange for the permanent retirement of those rights. This transaction not only simplifies NRP's structure but it also lowers NRP's cost of capital, which is critical to completion of acquisitions and growing the partnership's cash flows and distributions.
At year-end, NRP had a cash balance of $95.5 million and, following the $70 million acquisition completed in January 2011, NRP had $136.0 million available on its credit facility. These balances should allow NRP to fund its committed capital obligations of $40 million in 2011 and pursue additional acquisitions.
Distributions
As reported on January 19, 2011, the Board of Directors of NRP's general partner declared a quarterly distribution of $0.54 per unit, unchanged from the third quarter 2010. NRP's distributable cash flow more than covered its distributions for 2010.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable cash flow represents cash flow from operations less actual principal payments and cash reserves set aside for scheduled principal payments on the senior notes. Distributable cash flow is a "non-GAAP financial measure" that is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric that is an indicator of NRP's ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distributions paid to its partners. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships. Distributable cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. A reconciliation of distributable cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is included in the tables attached to this release. Distributable cash flow may not be calculated the same for NRP as other companies.
