Key Terms

net profits interest, wellhead prices, ad valorem taxes, capital expenditures
4 terms
net profits interest financial
"representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits"
A net profits interest (NPI) is a contractual right to receive a fixed percentage of a project’s or asset’s profits after allowable costs are paid, rather than a share of gross revenue or ownership. For investors, it matters because it gives upside tied to actual profitability while shielding the holder from direct operating expenses and capital calls, similar to getting a portion of the leftover profits from a business after the bills are settled.
wellhead prices technical
"average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month"
Wellhead prices are the amount a producer receives for oil or natural gas right at the production site, before costs like transportation, processing, or taxes are added or subtracted. Investors watch them because they directly determine a producer’s revenue and profit margin much like the price a farmer gets at the farm gate affects farm income—changes at the source can ripple through cash flow, valuation, and dividend or investment decisions.
ad valorem taxes financial
"a holdback for future ad valorem taxes"
Ad valorem taxes are charges calculated as a percentage of an item's or property's assessed value, for example a tax on a home's market price or on the value of imported goods. Investors care because these taxes increase the cost of owning assets or selling products and can reduce returns and cash flow; think of them as a toll that grows when the underlying value rises, affecting valuations and planning.
capital expenditures financial
"Capital expenditures were $116,596 for the current month."
Capital expenditures are the money a company spends to buy or improve big assets like buildings, equipment, or machines that will last a long time. These investments matter because they help the company grow and operate more efficiently, similar to how upgrading a home’s appliances or adding a new room can make it better and more valuable.

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.25 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.17 million from the prior month's distribution period. T2S Permian Acquisition II LLC ("T2S") informed the Trust that this decrease was primarily due to decreases in oil sales prices and oil sales volumes. Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.02 million for the current month, an increase of approximately $0.01 million from the prior month's distribution period, primarily due to an increase in natural gas sales prices. Other revenue totaled $0.11 million for the current month, including salt water disposal income, which was previously reflected as an offset to lease operating expenses and, beginning this month, will instead be presented as other revenue.

Total direct operating expenses, including marketing, lease operating expenses, and workover expenses, were $0.66 million, essentially unchanged from the prior month's distribution period.

Severance and ad valorem taxes included in this month's net profits calculation were $0.06 million, a decrease of approximately $0.01 million from the prior month's distribution period. T2S informed the Trust that this decrease was primarily due to a decrease in severance taxes.

Capital expenditures were $116,596 for the current month. T2S informed the Trust that this amount primarily reflected tangible completion costs, including approximately $51,000 of plugging costs and $63,000 of capital workover costs, as well as intangible completion costs, partially offset by a credit to tangible drilling costs.

T2S informed the Trust that this month's net profits calculation included a net release of $62,500 from funds previously reserved by T2S, consisting of a $125,000 release of funds previously held for workovers, partially offset by a $62,500 holdback for future ad valorem taxes.
