CorEnergy Releases Third Quarter 2014 Results

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – November 7, 2014 – CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR) (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Third Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events

-

Declared third quarter 2014 dividend distribution of $0.130, payable on November 28, 2014

-

Reiterating annualized dividend guidance of no less than $0.52 per share

-

Successfully established a new $30 million senior secured revolving facility, replacing prior facility

-

Completed VantaCore sale for approximately $13.6 million in gross proceeds

-

Amended and upsized Black Bison secured financing transaction

“This first three quarters of 2014 demonstrate CorEnergy’s ability to deliver stable dividends covered by growing cash flows from our energy infrastructure assets, while optimizing our balance sheet for a pipeline of investment opportunities,” said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy. “We successfully completed the sale of VantaCore, a legacy investment, and established an upsized credit facility. Our capital position prepares CorEnergy to continue to execute on disciplined, accretive investments to drive shareholder value.”

Quarterly Performance Review

CorEnergy reported total revenues of $9.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2014. A third quarter dividend of $0.130 was declared on October 31, 2014, and is payable on November 28, 2014. Total assets were $324.3 million and total stockholders' equity was $218.6 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to $283.9 million and $177.2 million, respectively, at Dec. 31, 2013. AFFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was $0.16 per share as compared to $0.14 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures presented in accordance with the guidelines for calculation and reporting issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers FFO an important supplemental measure of operating performance that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. CorEnergy defines AFFO as FFO plus transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, deferred leasing costs, above-market rent, and certain costs of a nonrecurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any), amortization of debt premium and other adjustments as deemed appropriate. Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance.

Portfolio Update

In August 2014, base rent increased to $5 million per year. The base rent is expected to increase by a percentage of specified construction costs at the Portland Terminal Facility, estimated at $10 million. As of September 30, 2014, these costs totaled approximately $4.4 million. Assuming such construction projects are completed, the base rent will increase by an ancillary amount of approximately $1.2 million per year in addition to the minimum lease payment of $5 million.

In July 2014, CorEnergy increased and fully advanced a $15.3 million secured financing to Black Bison Water Services, LLC (“Black Bison”) to fund Black Bison’s acquisition of salt water disposal properties in Wyoming.

The $15.3 million secured financing was made available through an upsize of the pre-existing facility from $11.5 million to $12 million and a new $3.3 million taxable REIT subsidiary loan. Collectively, the $15.3 million 10-year secured financing has a base interest rate of 12 percent per annum, escalating at 2 percent of the base interest rate per annum. Beginning in April 2015, and continuing for each month thereafter, the outstanding principal will also provide the Company with variable interest based on the growth in volume of water treated by Black Bison.

Subsequent Events

CorEnergy completed the sale of its equity investment in VantaCore Partners LP (“VantaCore”), effective October 1, 2014. The Company received approximately $13.6 million in gross proceeds, of which $2.9 million will be held in escrow pending certain post closing obligations or the expiration of certain time periods. CorEnergy’s net proceeds from the sale are expected to be used for the construction or acquisition of real property assets in the U.S. energy infrastructure sector.

The Company will elect to pay income tax on the VantaCore sale as cash distributions are received. The first cash tax payment attributable to VantaCore, estimated at approximately $3 million, is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter. The remaining cash tax payments will be made in subsequent years as distributions from escrow are received.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As previously announced, the Company entered into a new $30 million senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with Regions Bank. The new four-year Credit Facility replaces the Company’s prior $20 million revolving line of credit that was scheduled to mature in May 2016. The Portland Terminal Facility will qualify as eligible collateral under the new facility. Management expects to use the credit facility to fund property acquisitions, capital improvements or for other permitted corporate purposes.

Outlook

CorEnergy expects its energy infrastructure assets – the Pinedale LGS, the Eastern Interconnect Project, the Portland Terminal Facility, Mowood and Black Bison – to produce stable and recurring revenues. The Company believes that the cash flows from its holdings will support annualized dividend payments of no less than $0.52 per share. The Company has a broadening set of opportunities in the pipeline, which provide the potential to reach $50 to $200 million per project type. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. The Company expects to utilize balance sheet resources, including prudent leverage when available, supplemented with accretive equity issuance as needed.

Dividend Policy

In 2013, CorEnergy changed its fiscal year end from Nov. 30 to Dec. 31 as part of its transition from a business development company to a REIT. As a result of this change, the dividend payment schedule for calendar 2014 will vary from prior years. Going forward, the Company intends to maintain a quarterly February, May, August, November dividend payment cycle. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.
