Highlights

  • Funds flow (1) of $269 million in the second quarter of 2010 was 22 percent lower than the $344 million realized in the first quarter of 2010 and 37 percent lower than the $430 million realized in the second quarter of 2009. The decline from the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to lower commodity prices. Basic funds flow was $0.62 per unit (1) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $0.81 per unit in the first quarter of 2010 and $1.05 per unit in the second quarter of 2009.
  • Net income of $195 million ($0.45 per unit-basic) in the second quarter of 2010 was much stronger compared to net income of $77 million ($0.18 per unit-basic) in the first quarter of 2010 and was a reversal of the net loss of $41 million ($0.10 per unit-basic) in the second quarter of 2009.

Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) are based on six mcf of natural gas equalling one barrel of oil (6:1). This could be misleading if used in isolation as it is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applied at the burner tip and may not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

(1)Gross revenues include realized gains and losses on commodity contracts.
(2) Excludes business combinations and includes net proceeds on property acquisitions/dispositions.
(3) Includes distributions paid prior to those reinvested in trust units under the distribution reinvestment plan.

(4) Payout ratio is calculated as distributions paid divided by funds flow. The term "payout ratio" is a Non-GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Measures Advisory" section.
