Questar E&P production up 19%;
Company affirms 2009 production guidance; lowers earnings guidance
SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Questar Corp. (NYSE:STR) net income fell 64% in the first quarter of 2009 to
$67.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $185.8 million, or $1.05
per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008. The current quarter`s result
includes a net after-tax mark-to-market loss on natural gas basis-only swaps of
$84.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to a net after-tax gain of
$8.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, a year earlier. Excluding
mark-to-market gains and losses, Questar earned $0.86 per diluted share in the
first quarter of 2009, compared to $1.00 per diluted share in the year-ago
quarter.

"We`re weathering the storm," said Keith O. Rattie, Questar Chairman, President
and CEO. "We've lowered EPS guidance to account for higher Questar E&P
depreciation due to price-related negative reserve revisions. But we`re
maintaining 2009 production guidance, despite some provision for price-related
production curtailments. Questar E&P grew production 19% in the first quarter -
driven by a 44% increase in the Midcontinent. We`ve hedged about 73% of Questar
E&P`s remaining 2009 production at attractive prices, and Questar`s five other
businesses all generate earnings and cash flow that are relatively insensitive
to energy prices. Equally important, our balance sheet is strong, we have
adequate liquidity, and we remain focused on returns - we`ve shifted capital to
projects that deliver acceptable returns even in today`s distressed market,"
Rattie added.
First Quarter 2009 Highlights
* Questar E&P grew natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) production 19%
to 46.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe) compared to 39.5
Bcfe for the 2008 quarter. Natural gas comprised 88% of reported production
volumes.
* Average realized natural gas prices at Questar E&P decreased $0.26 per
thousand cubic feet (Mcf), or 4%, and average realized crude oil and NGL prices
decreased $40.09 per barrel (bbl), or 54%. Natural gas hedges increased reported
revenues by $136.4 million and oil hedges increased revenues by $4.6 million.
* Net mark-to-market losses on natural gas basis-only swaps decreased net income
$84.7 million in the 2009 quarter compared to a gain of $8.6 million in the
year-earlier period.
* Wexpro investment base grew 27% to $400.1 million at March 31, 2009. Wexpro
produced 13.2 Bcf of cost-of-service gas for delivery to affiliate Questar Gas,
up 20% from 11.0 Bcf in the 2008 quarter.
* Gas Management net income fell 38%, due to lower processing margins and
increased depreciation expense. Net processing revenues decreased 41% to $11.9
million due to a 72% decrease in keep-whole processing margin (frac spread).
Depreciation expense grew $4.6 million or 73% as the result of investment
additions in 2008.
* Questar Pipeline net income fell to $14.7 million in the first quarter of
2009, an 8% decrease from the year-ago period, due to lower NGL sales.
* Questar Gas earned $31.8 million, 4% higher than a year ago, driven by an
increase in Utah general rates effective August 2008 and customer growth.
* Questar earned a 13.0% return on assets (ROA - defined as earnings before
interest and income taxes divided by average total assets) for the trailing
12-month period ended March 31, 2009. Market Resources ROA was 14.5%; Questar
Pipeline ROA was 10.2%; and Questar Gas ROA was 7.9%.
Questar Updates 2009 EPS and Production Guidance
Questar now expects full-year 2009 net income to range from $2.30 to $2.45 per
diluted share compared to previous guidance of $2.50 to $2.70 per diluted share.
This revised guidance assumes a higher Questar E&P average depreciation,
depletion and amortization rate per Mcfe as the result of first quarter
price-related reserve revisions. The company estimates that Questar E&P 2009
production will range from 180 to 186 Bcfe, unchanged from prior guidance and up
about 5 to 9% from 2008.
The company`s guidance assumes hedges in place on the date of this release and
excludes mark-to-market gains and losses on basis-only swaps and any net gains
and losses on asset sales. These and other assumptions are summarized in the
table below:
Guidance Assumptions

Earnings per diluted share $2.30-$2.45 $2.50-$2.70
Average diluted shares (millions) 176.8 177.3

Questar E&P production - Bcfe 180-186 180-186
Pinedale well completions 93-95 93-95
NYMEX gas price per MMBtu(b) $4.00-$5.00 $4.50-$5.50
NYMEX crude oil price per bbl(b) $50.00-$60.00 $45.00-$55.00
NYMEX/Rockies basis differential per MMBtu(b) $2.25-$1.00 $3.00-$1.50
NYMEX/Midcontinent basis differential per MMBtu(b) $1.50-$0.50 $2.00-$1.00
(b)For 2009 unhedged volumes
* Questar E&P has hedged about 73% of forecast natural gas and oil-equivalent
production for the remainder of 2009 with fixed-price swaps. Additionally, the
company has hedged about 14% of forecast remainder of 2009 production with
natural gas basis-only swaps. (See table at the end of this release).
* The company estimates that a $1.00 per MMBtu change in the average NYMEX price
of natural gas for the remainder of 2009 would result in about a $0.05 change in
earnings per diluted share.
* The company also estimates that a $10.00 per barrel change in the average
NYMEX price of oil for the remainder of 2009 would result in about a $0.05
change in earnings per diluted share.
Questar E&P Production Grows 19%; Net Income Declines 115% in First Quarter 2009
Questar E&P - a Market Resources subsidiary that acquires, explores for,
develops and produces natural gas and oil - reported production of 46.9 Bcfe in
the first quarter of 2009 compared to 39.5 Bcfe in the 2008 quarter, a 19%
increase. The growth in production offset lower realized natural gas, crude oil
and NGL prices but net mark-to-market losses on natural gas basis-only swaps and
an 8% increase in per unit production costs resulted in reduced net income
compared to the prior year period. Net mark-to-market losses on natural gas
basis-only swaps decreased first-quarter 2009 net income $84.7 million, compared
to an $8.6 million after-tax gain in the 2008 period.

Questar may enter into derivative transactions on up to 100% of forecast
production from proved reserves to lock in acceptable returns on invested
capital and to protect cash flow and net income from a decline in commodity
prices. The company uses natural gas basis-only swaps to protect cash flows and
net income from widening natural gas-price basis differentials that may result
from capacity constraints on regional gas pipelines. However, natural gas
basis-only swaps also expose the company to losses from narrowing natural
gas-price basis differentials.
Questar E&P production costs per unit of gas-equivalent production increased 8%
compared to the first quarter of 2008, due primarily to increased depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense, and allocated interest expense, partially
offset by lower production taxes.
Questar E&P - Production Costs

2009 2008 Change
(per Mcfe)
Depreciation, depletion and amortization $2.42 $1.82 33 %

Allocated interest expense 0.31 0.26 19
Production taxes 0.33 0.68 (51 )
Production costs $4.12 $3.83 8 %
* Production volume-weighted average depreciation, depletion and amortization
per Mcfe (the DD&A rate) increased due to higher costs for drilling, completion
and related services and the increased cost of steel casing, other tubulars and
wellhead equipment during the peak level of industry activity in 2008. The DD&A
rate also increased due to third and fourth quarter 2008 price-related reserve
revisions, the ongoing depletion of older, lower-cost reserves and the
increasing share of Questar E&P production derived from properties that are
being developed in a higher-cost environment.
* General and administrative expense per Mcfe decreased as the result of
increased production.
* Allocated interest expense per unit of production increased primarily due to
financing costs related to the 2008 acquisition of natural gas development
properties in northwest Louisiana.
* Production taxes per Mcfe decreased in the first quarter of 2009 as the result
of lower natural gas and oil sales prices. The company pays production taxes
based on a percentage of sales prices, excluding the impact of hedges.
Wexpro Net Income Up 16% in First Quarter 2009
Wexpro - a Market Resources subsidiary that manages, develops and produces
cost-of-service reserves for gas utility affiliate Questar Gas - benefited from
a higher average investment base compared to the prior-year period. Wexpro
investment base at March 31, 2009, was $400.1 million compared to $314.5 million
a year ago, a 27% increase. Under a long-standing agreement with the states of
Utah and Wyoming, Wexpro recovers its costs and earns an unlevered after-tax
return of about 19 to 20% on its investment base - the investment in commercial
wells and related facilities, adjusted for working capital and reduced for
deferred income taxes and accumulated depreciation.
Gas Management Net Income Down 38% in First Quarter 2009
Questar Gas Management (Gas Management) - Market Resources` gas-gathering and
processing-services business - reported 38% lower net income in the first
quarter of 2009, resulting from decreased gathering and processing margins and
increased depreciation expense. Gathering margin fell $0.8 million or 3%, and
processing margin decreased $8.5 million or 48%. Net processing revenues
declined 41% to $11.9 million due to reduced frac-spread - the difference
between the market value of the NGL extracted from the gas stream and the cost
of the Btu-equivalent volume of natural gas required to replace the extracted
liquids. Gas Management fee-based gas-processing volumes increased 5% in the
first quarter of 2009 to 52.5 million MMBtu. Fee-based gas-processing revenues
increased 17% compared to the year ago period, while keep-whole processing
margin (frac-spread) decreased 72% or $8.8 million. Approximately 93% of Gas
Management net operating revenue (total revenue less processing plant-shrink)
was derived from fee-based contracts compared to 78% in the 2008 quarter.
Depreciation expense grew $4.6 million or 73% as the result of investment
additions in 2008.
Questar Pipeline Net Income Down 8% in First Quarter 2009
Questar Pipeline - which provides interstate natural gas transportation and
storage services - saw net income fall 8% in the first quarter of 2009. Revenues
decreased $4.4 million or 7%, due to lower NGL revenues and lower interruptible
transportation revenues. NGL prices decreased 63% while NGL sales volumes
increased 20% in the quarter-over-quarter comparison. Operating, maintenance,
general and administrative expenses totaled $0.08 per decatherm transported,
down from $0.11 in the year earlier period, the net result of a 15% increase in
transportation volumes and a 10% decrease in these expenses.
Questar Gas Net Income Up 4% in First Quarter 2009
Questar Gas - which provides retail natural gas distribution services in Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho - reported higher net income, driven by an increase in Utah
general rates effective August 2008 and customer growth, partially offset by
higher expenses, primarily bad-debt expense, demand-side management costs and
interest expense. Operating, maintenance, general and administrative expenses
totaled $46 per customer in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $37 per
customer a year ago as a result of higher demand-side management (DSM) costs.
DSM costs result from the company`s energy conservation programs and are passed
on to customers through periodic rate adjustments. At March 31, 2009, Questar
Gas served 892,829 customers, up 10,955 or 1.2% from March 31, 2008.
First Quarter 2009 Earnings Teleconference

the remainder of 2009 in a conference call with investors Thursday, April 30,
beginning at 9:30 a.m. EDT. The call can be accessed on the company Internet
