With over 315,000 optimally-located and largely contiguous surface acres, LandBridge continues to support and encourage energy, power, digital infrastructure and broader industrial development. We have a strong balance sheet and a proven platform for organic and acquisition-driven expansion, and we are well positioned to deliver differentiated value to shareholders and a diverse customer base in the years ahead."
Scott McNeely, Chief Financial Officer of LandBridge, said, “LandBridge delivered its seventh consecutive public quarter of strong growth, driven by increases across key revenue streams. As always, our business is underpinned by a high-margin, highly capital-efficient and asset-light model, with predominately fee-based revenue that we anticipate yielding high Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. 2025 saw approximately 450 new easements and agreements executed on our acreage, with many compelling opportunities before us across all industrial uses, and an optimized balance sheet to accelerate our growth trajectory. We look forward to executing on our disciplined strategy and anticipate delivering within our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range, representing greater than

Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly non-recurring gains or losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue. We are unable to reasonably predict these because they are uncertain and depend on various factors not yet known, which could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
LandBridge 2026 Investor Day
LandBridge will host an Investor Day on March 19, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm ET in

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on LandBridge’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, LandBridge, and therefore involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Generally, future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” or “could,” and the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, assumptions, future operations and prospects and other statements that are not historical facts, including our estimated future financial performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although LandBridge believes that plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements made herein are reasonable, LandBridge may be unable to achieve such plans, intentions or expectations and actual results, and performance or achievements may vary materially and adversely from those envisaged in this news release due to a number of factors including, but not limited to: our customers’ demand for and use of our land and resources; the success of our affiliates, including WaterBridge, in executing their business strategies, including their ability to construct infrastructure, attract customers and operate successfully on our land; our customers’ ability to develop our land or any potential acquired acreage to accommodate any future surface use developments; our ability to continue the payment of dividends; the domestic and foreign supply of, and demand for, energy sources, including the effects of geopolitical conflicts, domestic uncertainties or armed conflict in oil and natural gas producing regions and the impact of actions relating to oil price and production controls by the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are supplemental non-GAAP measures that we use to evaluate current, past and expected future performance. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and cash flows, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, gross margin or any other measures presented under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to assess the financial performance of our assets over the long term to generate sufficient cash to return capital to equity holders or service indebtedness. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest; taxes; depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion; share-based compensation; non-recurring transaction-related expenses and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period, and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the periods indicated.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are used to assess our ability to repay our indebtedness, return capital to our shareholders and fund potential acquisitions without access to external sources of financing for such purposes. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operating activities less investment in capital expenditures. We define Free Cash Flow Margin as Free Cash Flow divided by total revenues.
We believe Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are useful because they allow for an effective evaluation of both our operating and financial performance, as well as the capital intensity of our business, and subsequently the ability of our operations to generate cash flow that is available to distribute to our shareholders, reduce leverage or support acquisition activities.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin, respectively, for the periods indicated.
