NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2025

Rhea-AI Summary

North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE:NRT) has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.04 per unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, payable on February 26, 2025, to unitholders of record on February 14, 2025.

The reduced distribution primarily resulted from substantial negative adjustments from calendar 2023 under both the Mobil and OEG royalty agreements.

For the Mobil royalty, the negative carry-over adjustment was fully offset through a reduction in December 2024's scheduled royalty payment.

KEENE, N.H., Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.04 per unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, payable on February 26, 2025 to owners of record on February 14, 2025. 

In accordance with the agreements between the Trust and the operating companies, the Trust's monthly scheduled royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties that were payable to the Trust in the prior calendar quarter.  For the quarter ending January 31, 2025, the reduction in the amount of the distribution payable largely resulted from the substantial negative adjustment from calendar 2023 under both the Mobil and OEG royalty agreements.  The negative carry-over adjustment from calendar 2023 eliminated all first quarter fiscal 2025 royalty payments under the OEG royalty with a small residual negative balance that will partially reduce OEG's scheduled royalty payment in February 2025.  The negative carry-over adjustment from calendar 2023 was fully offset with a reduction of the scheduled royalty payment under the Mobil royalty in December 2024.  Further details will be available in the 10-Q scheduled to be released on or about February 28, 2025.
