7 terms

royalty agreements financial

"The Trust receives its royalties under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements"

Royalty agreements are contracts where the owner of an asset (like a patent, mineral rights, or a brand) allows another party to use that asset in exchange for ongoing payments tied to revenue, sales, or production. For investors, they matter because they create predictable, contractually specified cash flows and affect a company’s future earnings and valuation—think of it like a landlord receiving rent based on how much a tenant sells rather than a fixed monthly fee.

10-k regulatory

"as detailed in the 2025 10-K on the Trust's website"

A 10-K is a comprehensive annual report a public company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that summarizes its business, financial results, risks, legal issues, and management discussion. Investors use it like a company’s detailed yearly report card and instruction manual — it helps reveal how the company makes money, where it might face trouble, and the underlying numbers that support valuation and investment decisions.

10-q regulatory

"Additional details will be available in the Trust's 10-Q filing"

A 10-Q is a company’s required quarterly filing with U.S. regulators that provides updated financial statements, management discussion of results, and disclosures about risks, legal matters and operational changes. Think of it as a quarterly report card and progress update that lets investors track recent performance, spot trends or warning signs between annual reports, and make informed buy/sell decisions based on the latest verified financial and business information.

View in glossary

edgar regulatory

"or through the SEC's EDGAR website on or about May 30, 2026"

EDGAR is a system used by companies to share important financial and business information with the public. It functions like an online filing cabinet where investors can access official reports and documents that help them understand a company's financial health and operations. This transparency allows investors to make more informed decisions, much like checking a company's report card before investing.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release may contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

royalty payments financial

"statements concerning future gas prices, royalty payments and cash distributions"

Payments made to the owner of an asset, patent, trademark, mineral right, or creative work in exchange for permission to use it; they are typically a percentage of sales or a fixed fee per unit sold. For investors, royalty payments represent a steady income stream tied to the underlying product’s sales performance, similar to collecting rent from tenants — predictable cash flow that can reduce risk or add value when evaluating a company’s revenue sources.

cash distributions financial

"statements concerning future gas prices, royalty payments and cash distributions"

Cash distributions are direct payments of money made by a company, fund, or partnership to its owners or investors, similar to receiving a regular paycheck from profits or a share of rental income. They matter because they provide tangible income, can signal how healthy a business or fund is, and affect the value of your investment — like taking cash out of a piggy bank reduces what's left inside.

EAST SCHODACK, N.Y., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a distribution of $0.22 per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This compares to a $0.20 distribution for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and is equal to the $0.22 distribution for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The $0.22 distribution for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 is payable on May 27, 2026 to owners of record on May 13, 2036.

The Trust receives its royalties under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements as detailed in the 2025 10-K on the Trust's website. In accordance with the agreements, the Trust's monthly royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties payable to the Trust in the prior quarter. As a result, for the quarter ending April 30, 2026, the royalties do not fully reflect the recent period of higher prices. Additional details will be available in the Trust's 10-Q filing at the Trust's website, shown below, or through the SEC's EDGAR website on or about May 30, 2026.

The cumulative 12-month distribution, which includes the May 2026 distribution and the three prior quarterly distributions, is $1.01 per unit. This 12-month cumulative distribution is 115%, or $0.54 per unit, higher than the prior 12-month distribution of $0.47 per unit.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements address future expectations and events or conditions concerning the Trust, such as statements concerning future gas prices, royalty payments and cash distributions. Many of these statements are based on information provided to the Trust by the operating companies or by consultants using public information sources, are difficult to predict, and are generally beyond the control of the Trust. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements.
