Gain on Commodity Derivative Instruments
Current report
Depreciation and depletion expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $30.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the depletion rate was due to the gradual reduction in the depletable base of our oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by the Mesa Acquisition, which increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.
Current report
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $8.4 million, compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 1.06% decrease in the weighted average interest rate from the three months June 30, 2025.

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. These conflicts, along with the recent U.S. military action in Venezuela and Iran, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures (as defined below) by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay distributions to our unitholders.

Previous wording
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

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. These acquisition and investment efforts often involve assets which, if acquired or constructed, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Material acquisitions that would impact the comparability of our results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 include the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests from Boren Minerals (the “Boren Acquisition”) in January 2025.

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. We did not record an impairment on our oil and natural gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Our operators received an average of $84.12 per Bbl of oil, $2.61 per Mcf of natural gas and $25.81 per Bbl of NGL for the volumes sold during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $66.36 per Bbl of oil, $3.11 per Mcf of natural gas and $25.76 per Bbl of NGL for the volumes sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average price received during the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased 26.8% or $17.76 per Bbl of oil, which is consistent with prices experienced in the market, specifically when compared to the EIA average price increase of 23.7% or $16.17 per Bbl of oil. The average price received during the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 16.1% or $0.5 per Mcf of natural gas as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of lower differentials in the Permian Basin.
Previous wording
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $8.2 million, compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the overall debt balance as a result of additional borrowings to complete the partial redemption of the Series A preferred units.
Current wording
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $16.6 million, compared to $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the overall debt balance as a result of additional borrowings to complete the Boren Acquisition, the partial redemption of the Series A preferred units and the Mesa Acquisition, partially offset by a 1.02% decrease in the weighted average interest rate from the six months ended June 30, 2025.

It is our intent, subject to market conditions, to finance acquisitions of mineral and royalty interests that increase our asset base largely through external sources, such as borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility and the issuance of equity and debt securities. For example, we completed the Boren Acquisition partially with net proceeds from anunderwritten public offering of 11,500,000 common units (the “2025 Equity Offering”). 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. See “Recent Developments—Quarterly Distributions” above for discussion of our first quarter 2026 distributions.

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 three months ended March 31, 2026 were $49.4 million, a decrease of $4.8 million compared to $54.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Distributions in excess of the amount taxable as dividend income will reduce a common unitholder’s tax basis in its common units or produce capital gain to the extent they exceed a common unitholder’s tax basis. Any reduced tax basis will increase a common unitholder’s capital gain when it sells its common units. Our estimates are the result of certain non-cash expenses (principally depletion) substantially offsetting our taxable income and tax “earnings and profits.” Our estimates of the tax treatment of earnings and distributions are based upon assumptions regarding the capital structure and earnings of the Operating Company, our capital structure and the amount of the earnings of the Operating Company allocated to us. Many factors may impact these estimates, including changes in drilling and production activity, commodity prices, future acquisitions or changes in the business, economic, regulatory, legislative, competitive or political environment in which we operate. These estimates are based on current tax law and tax reporting positions that we have adopted and with which the Internal Revenue Service could disagree. These estimates are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and no assurances can be made regarding these estimates. You are encouraged to consult with your tax advisor on this matter.

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 $12.79 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.55 per barrel from the $13.34 average depletion rate per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the depletion rate was due to the gradual reduction in the depletable base of our oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by the Mesa Acquisition, which increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.

Our marketing and other deductions include product marketing expense, which is a post-production expense. Marketing and other deductions for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $9.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in marketing and other deductions was primarily related to the increase in the average prices received for oil for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and to a lesser extent, the slight increase in production volumes.
