PHILADELPHIA, Nov 06, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
APL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Atlas Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATLS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) ("Atlas Energy" or "the Company")
today reported operating and financial results for the third quarter
2009.

Highlights of Atlas Energy's operations (as previously reported) and
financial results include the following:

--
Atlas Energy successfully drilled and completed two additional
horizontal Marcellus Shale wells in southwestern Pennsylvania: one in
western Fayette County and another in eastern Greene County. The
Fayette County well, which is the first horizontal Marcellus Shale
well drilled and completed in the county, has produced into a pipeline
an average of 3.3 million cubic feet per day ("Mmcf/d") for its first
30 days. This well inclined for most of its first 30 days and is
showing very little decline after 40 days. The Company's second
horizontal Marcellus Shale well drilled during 2009 in Greene County
is exhibiting a similar flat production profile after an initial peak
rate of 3.5 Mmcf/d. Both of these wells are producing at rates that
exceed the Company's assumed 4 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") type curve.
Atlas's last four horizontal Marcellus Shale wells that were turned
into line in southwestern Pennsylvania had an average peak 24-hour
rate of 5.1 Mmcfe/d;

--
During the first nine months of 2009, Atlas successfully drilled 14
horizontal Marcellus Shale wells. Four of these wells are online, one
is flowing but not yet online, three will be returned to production as
a gas processing plant has been brought back onto production this
week, and six are yet to be frac'd;

--
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure, was $56.2
million for the Company's Exploration and Production operations ("E&P
Operations") for the third quarter 2009, as compared with $75.9
million for the prior year comparable quarter. The decrease from the
prior year comparable quarter was primarily related to 1) lower
commodity prices, partially offset by higher natural gas production
volumes and strong hedge protection, and 2) the comparable year over
year timing of the offering of direct investment programs (funds
received in the fourth quarter 2009 are already five times higher than
funds received in the third quarter 2009). As a result of the
currently realized and continued expected increase in direct
investment funds received in the fourth quarter 2009, and higher
anticipated production volumes and realized natural gas prices
compared to the third quarter 2009, the Company expects to generate
$68 million to $72 million of adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter
2009. A reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided
in the financial tables of this release;

--
The Company reaffirms its 2009 total production guidance of 37 to 37.5
billion cubic feet equivalents ("Bcfe"), up approximately 7% from
2008, and between 45 and 50 Bcfe for 2010, up 28% at the midpoint
compared to estimated 2009 production. Due to increasing Marcellus
Shale production, Atlas Energy expects to exit 2009 with over 50
million cubic feet ("Mmcf") per day of net production in Appalachia
and expects this figure to more than double by the end of 2010;

--
Atlas Energy's natural gas and oil production in Appalachia was 41.3
million cubic feet equivalents ("Mmcfe") per day for the third quarter
2009, compared to 35.7 Mmcfe per day for the prior year third quarter,
up approximately 16%. The increase is due primarily to Atlas Energy's
expanding drilling programs and increased production from the
Marcellus Shale. Michigan segment natural gas production was 58.6
Mmcfe per day in the third quarter 2009, compared to 60.5 Mmcfe per
day in the prior year comparable quarter, but higher than the second
quarter 2009 production of 58.1 Mmcfe per day; and

--
Adjusted net income was $3.8 million for the third quarter 2009
compared with $9.9 million for the prior year third quarter. Adjusted
diluted net income per share was $0.09 for the third quarter 2009
compared with $0.23 per share for the third quarter 2008. Inclusive of
the impact of the consolidation of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P.
("APL") and Atlas Pipeline Holdings, L.P. (" AHD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating") and other items, on
a GAAP basis, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.7 million for
the third quarter 2009 compared with net income of $24.1 million for
the prior year third quarter. A reconciliation of net income to
adjusted net income is provided in the financial tables of this
release.

Recent Events

--
On September 29, 2009, Atlas America, Inc. and Atlas Energy Resources,
LLC ("ATN") completed their merger (the "Merger") to form Atlas
Energy, Inc. Atlas Energy's common stock continues to trade on NASDAQ
under the symbol "ATLS." Atlas Energy expects to continue the
accelerated expansion of its leading Marcellus Shale position in
southwestern Pennsylvania with retained cash flows from operations. As
a result of the Merger, Atlas Energy has a single class of publicly
traded common equity with one board of directors.

--
Atlas Energy began marketing the $275 million Atlas Resources Public
#18-2009 (C) drilling program (1) in September of this
year. When combined with the $125 million Atlas Resources Public
#18-2009 (B) drilling program completed earlier this year, Atlas
expects to raise approximately $400 million in 2009 through its direct
investment programs.

--
ATN's bank group, as a result of the regularly scheduled semi-annual
review, approved ATN's borrowing base related to its senior secured
revolving credit facility at $575 million. All other terms and
conditions remain the same. JP Morgan led the group of 26 lenders in
the review process. As of September 30, 2009, ATN had $270 million
outstanding against the revolving facility.

Appalachia Segment

--
Atlas Energy drilled 19 gross vertical Marcellus Shale wells and 5
gross horizontal Marcellus Shale wells in the third quarter 2009.

--
As of September 30, 2009, the Company held approximately 873,600 net
acres in the Appalachian Basin, of which approximately 599,800 were
undeveloped.

--
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had an interest in approximately
9,900 gross producing wells in Appalachia, of which it operated
approximately 85%.

--
Partnership management margin (2) was $18.1 million for the
third quarter 2009, compared to $23.0 million for the prior year third
quarter. The lower partnership management margin in the third quarter
2009 compared to the prior year was due primarily to the comparable
year over year timing of the offering of direct investment programs.

Michigan/Indiana Segment

--
Natural gas and oil production from the Michigan segment averaged 58.6
Mmcfe per day during the third quarter 2009, up from 58.1 Mmcfe per
day in the second quarter 2009.

--
At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 271,900 net acres
in the Antrim Shale in Michigan, of which approximately 26,400 were
undeveloped. The Company also had access to approximately 250,000
gross acres in the New Albany Shale in Indiana, of which approximately
243,000 acres were undeveloped.

Corporate and Other

--
General and administrative expense, excluding amounts attributable to
APL and AHD, was $22.5 million for the third quarter 2009, compared to
$14.4 million for the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in
the third quarter 2009 compared to the prior year was primarily
related to 1) $6.1 million of non-recurring expenses related to the
Merger and 2) the timing of the offering and receipt of funds
associated with the direct investment programs, which influences the
capitalization of costs directly related to those programs.

--
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, excluding amounts
attributable to APL and AHD, was $24.6 million in the third quarter
2009, compared to $23.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter.
The increase was due primarily to the increase in production in the
Company's Appalachia segment, notably from Marcellus Shale production.

--
Interest expense, excluding amounts attributable to APL and AHD, was
$18.5 million for the third quarter 2009, compared to $14.8 million
for the prior year third quarter. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to ATN's $200 million 12.5% senior note offering in July
2009, partially offset by lower average borrowings under its credit
facility.

(1)  Includes adjustments to reflect the cash impact of derivatives,
including (i) $28.5 million of cash proceeds received in May 2009
from the early settlement of natural gas and oil derivative
positions and (ii) cash proceeds received from the settlement of
ineffective derivative gains recognized in connection with the
acquisition of the Company's Michigan assets in June 2007 but not
reflected in its consolidated statements of operations for the three

(2) Excludes non-cash stock-compensation expense and non-recurring costs
incurred in connection with the Merger.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA, discretionary cash flow and net cash flow are
non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial
measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management of the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA,
discretionary cash flow and net cash flow provide additional
information for evaluating the Company's performance, among other
things. These measures are widely used by commercial banks,
investment bankers, rating agencies and investors in evaluating
performance relative to peers and pre-set performance standards.
Adjusted EBITDA is also a financial measurement that, with certain
negotiated adjustments, is utilized within Atlas Energy Resources'
financial covenants under its credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA,
discretionary cash flow and net cash flow are not measures of
financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be
considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or cash
flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.
(4) Excludes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs.
(5) Excludes the impact of cash distributions paid by Atlas Energy
Resources, LLC to its non-controlling interests for periods prior to
the Merger on September 29, 2009.

Atlas Energy Resources, LLC prior to the Merger on September 29,
2009.

of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management of the Company
believes that the above financial measure provides additional
information with respect to the Company's ability to meet its
capital expense and working capital requirements. Adjusted net

the Company issued 38.8 million shares of its common stock in

non-controlling interests in the net income of Atlas Energy
Resources, LLC upon the completion of the transaction.

of the Company for the respective period, adjusted for the 38.8
million shares of the Company's common stock issued in connection
