Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. (APL, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2012-09-30.
Atlas Pipeline Partners Lp has a market cap of $1.91 billion; its shares were traded at around $34.67 with a P/E ratio of 12.4 and P/S ratio of 1.5. The dividend yield of Atlas Pipeline Partners Lp stocks is 6.3%.
Gross margin from natural gas and liquids sales and the related natural gas and liquids cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased primarily due to lower natural gas and NGL sales prices partially offset by higher production volumes.
Transportation, processing and other fees for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased primarily due to increased processing fee revenue on the WestOK and Velma systems related to the increased volumes gathered on the systems.
rising in the current quarter and falling in the prior year comparable period; offset by a $6.8 million favorable variance for realized settlements in the current period mainly as a result of lower NGL prices. While we utilize either quoted market prices or observable market data to calculate the fair value of natural gas and crude oil derivatives, valuations of NGL fixed price swaps are based on a forward price curve modeled on a regression analysis of quoted price curves for NGLs for similar geographic locations, and valuations of NGL options are based on forward price curves developed by third-party financial institutions. The use of unobservable market data for NGL fixed price swaps and NGL options has no impact on the settlement of these derivatives. However, a change in managements estimated fair values for these derivatives could impact net income, although it would have no impact on liquidity or capital resources (see Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 9 for further discussion of derivative instrument valuations). We recognized a $11.2 million mark-to-market loss and a $5.9 million mark-to-market gain on derivatives, which are valued based upon unobservable inputs, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We enter into derivative instruments solely to hedge our forecasted natural gas, NGLs and condensate sales against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in market prices.
