Repurchase Program
Current report
On March 6, 2026, the Board of Directors approved of a common unit repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program allows us to acquire up to $100 million of our outstanding common units, excluding the 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of common units by publicly traded U.S. corporations enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Repurchase Program is authorized to extend through December 31, 2027 and we intend to purchase common units under the Repurchase Program opportunistically with cash on hand, free cash flow from operations or permitted borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. The Repurchase Program may be temporarily suspended, modified, extended or discontinued by the Board of Directors. Purchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, or privately negotiated transactions, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors.
Current report
Pursuant to the Repurchase Program, on March 19, 2026, we purchased 500,000 common units at an average purchase price of $14.60, for a total cost of $7.3 million, excluding excise tax. On April 2, 2026, we purchased 500,000 common units at an average purchase price of $14.70, for a total cost of $7.4 million, excluding excise tax. All units were retired and canceled immediately upon repurchase.

Previous report
We did not record an impairment on our oil and natural gas properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or the three months ended September 30, 2024. As a result of our full cost ceiling analysis, we recorded an impairment on our oil and natural gas properties of $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The impairment was primarily attributed to the decline in the 12-month average price of oil and natural gas.

Comparison of the Nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the Nine months ended September 30, 2024
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $241.5 million, an increase of $6.0 million compared to $235.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in oil, natural gas and NGL revenues was primarily related to an increase in the average prices received for natural gas coupled with an increase in production volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the average prices received for oil and NGLs, as discussed below.
Previous report
Our revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes sold and average prices received for those volumes. The production volumes were 6,951,149 Boe or 25,462 Boe/d, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 64,960 Boe or 330 Boe/d, from 6,886,189 Boe or 25,132 Boe/d, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in production volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to production associated with the Boren Acquisition, partially offset by prior period production recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Lease Bonus and Other Income
Previous report
Lease bonus and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in lease bonus and other income was due to a large lease bonus received during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Gain on Commodity Derivative Instruments
Previous report
the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded a mark-to-market gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the maturity of derivative contracts with lower strike pricing. We recorded a mark-to-market loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of an increase in strip pricing from the previous quarter, offset by realized gains on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments.
Previous report
Production and Ad Valorem Taxes
Previous report
Production and ad valorem taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 remained relatively flat at $16.7 million, compared to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Depreciation and Depletion Expense
Previous report
Depreciation and depletion expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $92.6 million, a decrease of $10.7 million from $103.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in depreciation and depletion expense was due to the impairment that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, which significantly reduced our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by the Boren Acquisition, which increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in active armed conflict against the country. In October 2023, armed active conflict escalated in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas. In April 2024, Iran launched an attack on Israel, further escalating the regional conflict in the Middle East. In October 2025, Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal, although there is no assurance that the ceasefire will continue. These conflicts and the applicable sanctions imposed in response have led to regional instability and caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets and have increased the level of global economic and political uncertainty, including uncertainty about world-wide oil supply and demand, which in turn has increased volatility in commodity prices. To date, we have not experienced a material impact to operations or the consolidated financial statements as a result of these conflicts; however, we will continue to monitor for events that could materially impact us.

The Baker Hughes United States Rotary Rig count decreased by 6.2% to 532 active land rigs at September 30, 2025 compared to 567 active land rigs at September 30, 2024. The 532 active land rigs at September 30, 2025 decreased slightly compared to 533 active land rigs at June 30, 2025. The decrease in rig count is primarily related to a decrease in the average prices received for oil, partially offset by an increase in the average price received for natural gas, coupled with domestic and international uncertainties, as noted above.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash unit based compensation and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. We define cash available for distribution on common units as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy, and we expect to pursue acquisitions of mineral and royalty interests from third parties, affiliates of our Sponsors and the Contributing Parties. As a part of these efforts, we often engage in discussions with potential sellers or other parties regarding the possible purchase of or investment in mineral and royalty interests, including in connection with a dropdown of assets from affiliates of our Sponsors and the Contributing Parties. Such efforts may involve participation by us in processes that have been made public and involve a number of potential buyers or investors, commonly referred to as “auction” processes, as well as situations in which we believe we are the only party or one of a limited number of parties who are in negotiations with the potential seller or other party.

Further, the affiliates of our Sponsors and Contributing Parties have no obligation to sell any assets to us or to accept any offer that we may make for such assets, and we may decide not to acquire such assets even if such parties offer them to us. We may decide to fund any acquisition, including any potential dropdowns, with cash, common units, other equity securities, proceeds from borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility or the issuance of debt securities, or any combination thereof. In addition to acquisitions, we also consider from time to time divestitures that may benefit us and our unitholders.

Accounting standards require that we periodically review the carrying value of our properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our properties. The net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties are subject to a full-cost ceiling limitation for which the costs are not allowed to exceed their related estimated future net revenues discounted at 10%. To the extent capitalized costs of evaluated oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment, exceed estimated discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, the excess capitalized costs are charged to expense. The risk that we will be required to recognize impairments of our oil and natural gas properties increases during periods of low commodity prices. In addition, impairments would occur if we were to experience significant downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves or the present value of estimated future net revenues. An impairment recognized in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even if higher oil and natural gas prices increase the cost center ceiling applicable to the subsequent period. Further, if the price of oil, natural gas and NGLs decreases in future periods, we may be required to record additional impairments as a result of the full-cost ceiling limitation.

The decrease in depreciation and depletion expense was due to the impairment that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, which significantly reduced our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by the Boren Acquisition, which increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.
Current wording
Depreciation and depletion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $29.3 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and depletion expense was due to the gradual reduction in the depletable base of our oil and natural gas properties.
Previous wording
Depletion is the amount of cost basis of oil and natural gas properties at the beginning of a period attributable to the volume of hydrocarbons extracted during such period, calculated on a units-of-production basis. Estimates of proved developed reserves are a major component in the calculation of depletion. Our average depletion rate per barrel was $13.19 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.42 per barrel from the $14.61 average depletion rate per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company requires it to distribute all of its cash on hand at the end of each quarter in an amount equal to its available cash for such quarter. In turn, our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our cash on hand at the end of each quarter in an amount equal to our available cash for such quarter. Available cash for each quarter will be determined by the Board of Directors following the end of such quarter. “Available cash,” as used in this context, is defined in our partnership agreement and in the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company. We expect that the Operating Company’s available cash for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate, and we expect that our available cash for each quarter will generally equal our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter (and will be our proportional share of the available cash distributed by the Operating Company for that quarter), less cash needs for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

The Board of Directors may choose to reserve a portion of cash generated from operations to finance such acquisitions as well. We do not currently intend to (i) maintain excess distribution coverage for the purpose of maintaining stability or growth in our quarterly distribution, (ii) otherwise reserve cash for distributions or (iii) incur debt to pay quarterly distributions, although the Board of Directors may do so if they believe it is warranted.

Our operating cash flow is impacted by many variables, the most significant of which are changes in oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes due to acquisitions or other external factors and changes in prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs. Prices for these commodities are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other substantially variable factors influence market conditions for these products. These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $189.2 million, a decrease of $5.1 million compared to $194.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Even though we are organized as a limited partnership under state law, we are treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we are subject to United States federal income tax at regular corporate rates on our net taxable income. The non-controlling interest, which represents OpCo common unitholders’, are not subject to federal income taxes. We estimate that a portion of our quarterly distributions will constitute a non-taxable reduction to the tax basis of unitholders’ common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders’ capital gain (or decrease unitholders’ capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. We currently believe that the portion that constitutes dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2025. Our estimates regarding treatment of our distributions are based on currently available information only and are subject to change, including with respect to prior quarters.

Depletion is the amount of cost basis of oil and natural gas properties at the beginning of a period attributable to the volume of hydrocarbons extracted during such period, calculated on a units-of-production basis. Estimates of proved developed reserves are a major component in the calculation of depletion. Our average depletion rate per barrel was $13.29 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.68 per barrel from the $14.97 average depletion rate per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in the depletion rate was due to the impairment that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, which significantly reduced our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by the Boren Acquisition, which increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.
