“CorEnergy achieved substantial growth in 2014 – our second full year as a REIT. We invested over $190 million to expand our footprint in energy infrastructure, adding to our long-term, utility-like cash flows for stockholders and diversifying CorEnergy’s portfolio of real property assets,” said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy.

“We are delivering on CorEnergy’s REIT strategy by growing our scale and increasing dividends per share. We continue to meet our goal of 1 to 3% increases in dividends based on existing assets and are announcing a long-term target of anticipated 3 to 5% annual dividend growth with new projects and acquisitions. We see increasing opportunities to provide mission-critical infrastructure that is essential for our customers’ operations in energy production and distribution.”

In 2014, CorEnergy completed strategic transactions to expand and diversify its portfolio of real property assets in energy infrastructure.

CorEnergy reported total revenues of $40.3 million in 2014, an increase of 29% from $31.3 million in 2013.

NAREIT FFO, 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. NAREIT 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. FFO as we have presented it here, and historically, also excludes the non-cash portion of unrealized gains and losses related to our legacy BDC securities holdings. 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. A reconciliation of NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO, as presented, to Net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders is included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.



2014 Real Property Update

Pinedale Liquids Gathering System

The Pinedale Liquids Gathering System (LGS) consists of more than 150 miles of pipelines, with 107 receipt points and four central storage facilities, acquired in 2012 and leased to a subsidiary of Ultra Petroleum (guaranteed by Ultra) under a triple-net participating lease with a 15-year initial term. The Pinedale LGS generated $20.3 million in lease revenue in 2014. Under an adjustment tied to changes in the Consumer Price Index, the annual rent will rise by $340,000 for 2015. CorEnergy believes its Pinedale LGS, used by Ultra Petroleum for gathering water, condensate and natural gas from its Pinedale field in Wyoming, is critically necessary to Ultra to support the exploitation of its reserves in the field.
 
MoGas Pipeline System

In November 2014, CorEnergy acquired all of the membership interests of two entities that own and operate the MoGas Pipeline System, approximately 263 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline in the St. Louis region and extending into central Missouri. CorEnergy also provided REIT-qualifying intercompany mortgage financing. After completion of the transaction, the MoGas system produced $1.3 million in revenue for CorEnergy in 2014.

The MoGas system, which is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), delivers natural gas to investor-owned and municipal utilities and end-users and has eight firm transportation customers.

Portland Terminal Facility

Acquired in January 2014, the Portland Terminal Facility is a 39-acre rail and marine transloading terminal on the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The site has 84 tanks with a total storage capacity of approximately 1.5 million barrels and is capable of receiving, storing and delivering crude oil and refined petroleum products. The property is leased to Arc Terminals (guaranteed by Arc Logistics) under a triple-net lease with a 15-year initial term.

The Portland Terminal Facility generated $5.4 million in lease revenue for CorEnergy in 2014. Under the lease, base rent increases as a percentage of completed construction on planned site improvements. As of December 31, 2014, CorEnergy had invested approximately $6.0 million of the planned $10 million in construction, and the base rent had risen to approximately $471 thousand per month.

Omega Pipeline/Mowood

Omega Pipeline Company owns and operates a natural gas distribution system primarily serving the U.S. Army’s Fort Leonard Wood in south-Central Missouri. In addition, Omega provides natural gas marketing services to several customers in the surrounding area. Omega has a long-term contract with the Department of Defense, which is subject to renewal in 2015. CorEnergy provides REIT-qualifying intercompany mortgage financing to Mowood, a taxable REIT subsidiary of CorEnergy that owns Omega, secured by the 70-mile pipeline system.

In 2014, Mowood and Omega generated $9.7 million in revenue for CorEnergy, up 11% from 2013.

Eastern Interconnect Project

The Eastern Interconnect Project, CorEnergy’s 40% undivided interest in power transmission lines that move electricity across New Mexico, is leased to Public Service Company of New Mexico under a triple-net lease. The lease terminates on April 1, 2015, with the sale of CorEnergy’s interest for $7.7 million. The final lease payments of approximately $2.6 million were received in full on January 2, 2014.




Black Bison Water Services

In 2014, CorEnergy provided $15.3 million in financing to Black Bison Water Services for acquisition of salt water disposal wells and related capital improvements in Wyoming, secured by mortgage agreements. Black Bison has become a leading independent provider of salt water disposal facilities, which help producers manage flowback and produced water from oil and gas wells. The assets produced $1.1 million in 2014 revenue for CorEnergy.

Four Wood/SWD Enterprises

On December 31, 2014, CorEnergy provided $5 million under two separate loan agreements to SWD Enterprises, a subsidiary of Four Wood Energy Partners, to acquire a salt water disposal well in the Bakken Shale Play in North Dakota. The investment is part of an $11 million total commitment, secured by SWD properties and providing for base and contingent interest income for CorEnergy going forward.

Private Equity Securities

In October 2014, CorEnergy sold its equity interest in VantaCore Partners LP to Natural Resource Partners L.P. Sale proceeds were approximately $13 million, of which a portion is held in escrow pending certain post-closing obligations or the expiration of certain time periods.
Subsequent Events

In January 2015, CorEnergy conducted a successful public offering of perpetual Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which raised over $55 million in gross proceeds, strengthening CorEnergy’s balance sheet by repaying indebtedness under our revolving line of credit and further positioning the Company for growth. The preferred stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker “CORRPrA.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2014, CorEnergy had approximately $53.0 million available for future investment, including cash and revolving credit facility availability totaling $65.6 million less near-term commitments. Following the offering of preferred stock and repayment of CorEnergy’s revolving line of credit, the pro forma liquidity available for future investment was approximately $120.1 million.

­­Outlook

CorEnergy expects its portfolio of energy infrastructure assets – the Pinedale LGS, MoGas Pipeline, Portland Terminal, Omega/Mowood and Black Bison – to continue to produce stable, recurring revenues in 2015. Assets acquired or expanded during 2014 (MoGas, Portland, Black Bison and Four Wood/SWD) are expected to produce full-year revenues in 2015. CorEnergy believes the cash flows from its holdings in 2015 will support annualized dividend payments of no less than $0.54 per share.

CorEnergy is pursuing a broadening set of opportunities in the pipeline, which provide the potential to reach $50 to $250 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

CorEnergy intends to maintain a quarterly dividend payment cycle of February, May, August and November. In February 2015, the Company paid its fourth-quarter 2014 dividend of $0.130 per share. The Company anticipates that it will increase the dividend for the first quarter of 2015 to $0.135 (or $0.54 cents per share annualized). Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.
