First Quarter Highlights
-
Announced the signing of a new 10-year tolling agreement between
Cokenergy and its site host. The Company's next contract expiration is
in 2020. Further, the Company accelerated the upgrade work at
Cokenergy to position the project to take advantage of the variable
nature of the economics in the new contract beginning in October 2014.
-
Announced a 40% increase in its quarterly dividend rate from $0.05 to
$0.07, or from $0.20 to $0.28 annually, due to confidence in the
long-term stability in the Company's cash flows from operations.
-
The extremely cold weather and reduced furnace operations leading up to
the imminent reline impacted waste heat, by-product fuel and steam
delivery to the Company's operations. These events had a negative
impact estimated at $1.2 million on the Company's results for the first
quarter of 2014 as compared to first quarter of 2013.
"While we strengthened our foundation in the first quarter with the new
Cokenergy deal, our operations, and those of our host and partners,
were challenged with the extremely cold winter weather and the imminent
reline of our host's blast furnace," said John Prunkl, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Primary Energy. "Despite the short-term
operational challenges we faced this quarter, the completion of the
Cokenergy contract provides for a stronger base business and allowed us
to increase our dividend. Going forward, our near-term focus is to
complete the Cokenergy retubing program and prepare for our host's
major reline. Additionally, our long-term contracts provide us with
flexibility to evaluate other opportunities to build greater value for
shareholders."
Beginning in June 2014, the blast furnace supporting North Lake and
Harbor Coal will undergo a major refurbishment or reline. The work is
expected to last approximately 60 days and will idle both North Lake
and Harbor Coal. The estimated impact on revenue is projected to range
from $1.5 million to $2.5 million assuming a 60-day time horizon for
the outage to be completed. North Lake will also be upgrading its
condenser in June at an expected cost of $0.6 million.

Matters Affecting Comparability - New Cokenergy Tolling Contract
On February 20, 2014, Cokenergy executed a new ten year contract with it
site host. Under IFRIC Interpretation 4 ("IFRIC 4") Cokenergy's new
tolling agreement is subject to lease accounting guidance as specified
in IAS 17 Leases ("IAS 17"). As a result, a portion of the revenue
received under the Cokenergy's contract will be deferred and recognized
over the life of the contact. Consequently, revenue recognized under
the old contract is not directly comparable to revenue recognized under
the new contract. The terms of the new tolling agreement do not
transfer the risks and rewards of ownership from Cokenergy to the
customer and therefore the contract is classified as an operating
lease. The pricing structure under the new contract for the period
February 20, 2014 through September 30, 2014 ("Year 1") consists of
fixed payments that are defined as minimum lease payments.
Additionally, for the contract period from October 2014 through
September 2023, Cokenergy will receive additional minimum lease
payments based on an expected level of operation. IAS 17 requires that
total minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the contract. For the period from February 20, 2014
through March 31, 2014 the amount of fixed billings from the Cokenergy
facility was $3.3 million. The amount of minimum lease revenue
recognized during this period was $2.0 million. The difference of $1.3
million was recorded as deferred revenue. For the period from February
20, 2014 through September 30, 2014, the Company will bill a total of
$18.4 million from the Cokenergy facility which will be in excess of
the $10.9 million of minimum lease payment revenue to be recognized
during that time period. The difference between the fixed billings and
minimum lease revenue recognized during the period ending September 30,
2014 will be recorded as deferred revenue totaling $7.5 million. The
total deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2014 will be
recognized over time as incremental revenue from October of 2014
through September 2023.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
The Company's revenue of $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2014
decreased $2.1 million, or 14.4%, compared with revenue of $14.7
million for the first quarter of 2013. Capacity revenue at the
Cokenergy facility decreased by $1.3 million due to the lease
accounting requirements for the new long term contract with its host
steel mill. The Company has recorded $1.3 million of deferred revenue
as of March 31, 2014. Revenue at the North Lake facility decreased by
$0.8 million primarily due to reduced host operating levels which were
impacted by weather and operating challenges and an unplanned outage
during the first quarter of 2014.
Operations and maintenance expense for the first quarter of 2014 was
$7.2 million compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, an
increase of $2.1 million or 41.3%. The Company incurred periodic costs
during the first quarter of 2014 of $3.7 million for boiler retubing
work. Periodic costs for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.7 million
for boiler retubing work, $0.4 million for an emergency boiler repair
and $0.1 million for ductwork repairs. In addition, for the first
quarter of 2014 the Company had increased operations and maintenance
expenses related to contracted services of $0.3 million and general
maintenance of $0.3 million.
General and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2014 was
$2.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, an
increase of $0.5 million or 28.0%. The Company had increased accrued
property tax expense of $0.2 million. The increase, on a comparative
basis, is due to a property tax accrual reduction recorded in the first
quarter of 2013. In addition, the Company had increased professional
fees of $0.3 million and plant and liability insurance expenses of $0.1
million. These increased expenses were offset by a reduction in IT
expenses of $0.1 million.
Employee benefits expense for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.9 million
compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of
$0.3 million. The increase of $0.3 million is due to stock based
compensation.
Equity in earnings of the Harbor Coal joint venture for the first
quarter of 2014 was $0.2 million compared to $0.5 million for the first
quarter of 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million. Reduced blast furnace
operations during the first quarter of 2014 negatively impacted revenue
generated by the joint venture.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.3 million compared
to operating income of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, a
decrease of $2.5 million. The decrease was the result of the net
effect of the items discussed above.
Net loss and comprehensive loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $0.5
million compared to $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, an
increase of $0.4 million. The increase was the result of the net
effect of the items discussed above.

1As used herein, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments. EBITDA
is reconciled to net loss and comprehensive loss income in the table
below. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS and does not have
a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, EBITDA may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may
differ materially.
|
2As used herein, references to Adjusted EBITDA are to EBITDA as adjusted
for the change in deferred revenue and certain non-recurring
adjustments for major maintenance expenses and stock-based compensation
that represent recorded expenses based on specific circumstances and
are not expected to be part of the Company's ongoing business activity.
The Company adjusts for these amounts as they may be non-cash, unusual
in nature and are not used by management for evaluating the operating
performance of the Company on a consistent basis from period to
period. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net loss and comprehensive
loss in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure
under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS.
Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies and may differ materially.
|
3As used herein, Free Cash Flow means net cash provided by operating
activities as adjusted for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is not
a recognized measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized
meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Free Cash Flow may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may
differ materially.
|
4Total Gross Electric Production means the aggregate amount of
electricity produced by all of the Company's facilities during the
period. The amount is gross generation and is not reduced by internal
electric usage of the facilities' auxiliary equipment. The unit of
measure is megawatt hours (MWh). Due to the fixed and variable nature
of customer contracts, MWh production cannot be directly tied to
financial performance.
|
5Total Thermal Energy Delivered means the aggregate amount of heat energy
contained in the steam and heated water delivered to customers by all
of the Company's facilities during the period. The unit of measure is
million of British Thermal Units (MMBTU). Due to the fixed and variable
nature of customer contracts, MMBTU production cannot be directly tied
to financial performance.
|
6Harbor Coal Utilization is a factor that incorporates the production
level of a blast furnace and the amount of coal utilization per unit of
blast furnace production as compared to a reference blast furnace
production level and coal utilization rate per unit of blast furnace
production. The measurement unit is a ratio expressed as a percentage.
|
Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Total
Gross Electric Production, Total Thermal Energy Delivered and Harbor
Coal Utilization provide useful supplemental information regarding the
performance of the Company, facilitate comparisons of historical
periods and are indicative of the Company's operating results. Note
however, that these items are performance measures only, and do not
provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity, and are
not a substitute for IFRS financial measures.
Use of Non-IFRS Measures
Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are
important measures in evaluating the underlying performance of the
Company's business and allow for comparison of operating performance to
historical results.
EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-IFRS metric used by many investors to compare companies
on the basis of ability to generate cash from operations. EBITDA
represents the Company's capacity to generate income from operations
before taking into account management's financing decisions and costs
of consuming tangible capital assets and intangible assets which vary
according to asset type and management's estimate of useful lives. The
Company also uses this calculation as a metric to evaluate cash
generation as compared to the amount of dividends paid by Company.
Additionally EBITDA is a key metric used in the Company's debt covenant
computations and provides insight into liquidity of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess operating performance based on results
from the Company's recurring business operations without the effects of
(as applicable): depreciation and amortization expense, interest
expense, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative contracts,
income tax expense as well as net change in deferred revenue and other
items that are viewed as non-recurring (major maintenance expense and
non-cash stock based compensation expense). The Company adjusts for
these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and are not
factors used by management for evaluating the operating performance of
the Company on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company
believes that presentation of this measure enhances an investor's
understanding of the Company's operating performance on a normalized
basis that allows for comparison to historical periods. Additionally,
management and its board use Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in making
determinations about future business activity of the Company. Adjusted
EBITDA is not intended to be representative of cash provided by
operating activities or results of operations determined in accordance
with IFRS.
Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate the Company's cash flow from
operations after capital expenditures in order to evaluate cash
available for other purposes, such as additional capital expenditures,
debt repayment, common stock distributions, or other corporate
purposes.
Non-IFRS Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. The
Company's management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using
various other measures. Three such measures are EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-IFRS financial measures. We
believe these measures provide useful supplemental information
regarding the performance of Company's business.
