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.
units of beneficial interestfinancial
Units of beneficial interest are pieces of ownership in a trust, fund, or pooled investment that give the holder a right to a share of the assets and income without holding the underlying property directly. Think of them as slices of a pie that entitle you to future slices of profit or distributions; investors care because these units determine how returns, risks, voting rights, and tax treatment are allocated and how easily you can buy or sell your stake.
wellhead pricestechnical
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.
forward-looking statementsregulatory
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.
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934regulatory
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 creates a legal safe harbor for forward-looking statements — projections, plans, estimates or predictions — made by public companies, provided those statements are identified as forward-looking and accompanied by meaningful cautionary language about risks and uncertainties. For investors, it matters because it helps distinguish promotional predictions from factual disclosures and signals which optimistic forecasts carry legal protection and which risks the company has warned could affect outcomes, like a weather forecast that comes with a disclaimer about changing conditions.
Form 10‑Kregulatory
A Form 10‑K is a detailed annual filing public companies submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that includes audited financial statements, management’s discussion of results, risk factors, business descriptions, and information about leadership and accounting policies. Investors treat it like a company’s full report card and owner’s manual—providing the most complete, formal picture of financial health, future risks, and performance trends to help judge value and make comparisons.
Mcftechnical
Mcf stands for thousand cubic feet and is a standard unit used to measure natural gas volume. For investors, Mcf translates physical gas production or consumption into a metric that directly affects revenue and valuation—think of it as counting liters of fuel your car used, where higher Mcf usually means more product to sell or higher costs to buy, and changes can signal shifts in supply, demand, or profitability.
Bblstechnical
bbls stands for barrels, a standard unit used to measure crude oil and other petroleum products (one oil barrel = 42 US gallons or about 159 liters). Investors watch bbls because production volumes, inventory levels and sales are expressed in barrels, and changes in those numbers directly affect revenue, commodity supply and pricing; think of bbls like cartons for milk that tell you how much product a company has or sells.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.010000 per unit, payable on May 15, 2026, to unitholders of record on April 30, 2026. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of January 2026 and reported natural gas production during December 2025. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in February 2026.
The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations.

Recorded oil cash receipts from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled $2.0 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $52.05/Bbl, up $0.3 million from the prior month’s oil cash receipts. The increase in oil sales was due in part to a temporary delay in reported revenues in the prior month that impacted certain of the Underlying Properties.
Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $2.8 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $3.60/Mcf, down $0.6 million from the prior month. The decrease in natural gas sales in the current month compared to the prior month was primarily due to the prior period royalty adjustments that represented a partial, one-time reporting catch-up for gas receipts.
Total accrued operating expenses decreased $0.1 million from the prior month to $2.9 million, and capital expenditures increased $0.2 million from the prior month to $0.9 million.
As previously disclosed, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) has established a cash reserve for approved, future development expenses, primarily associated with three incremental Haynesville wells that an operator on the Underlying Properties has indicated it intends to drill in the coming months. Given the increase in expected spending, the Sponsor has notified the Trustee that it is withholding an additional $0.3 million from the current month’s net profits to be added to this cash reserve. To date, the Sponsor has established a total reserve of $1.2 million for approved, future development expenses. This reserve is intended to fund an expected increase in development expenses; however, if those expenses are ultimately delayed or are less than expected, or if the outlook changes, amounts reserved but unspent will be released as an incremental cash distribution in a future period.
About Permianville Royalty Trust

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders and expectations regarding future development on the Underlying Properties. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which can fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and the Sponsor. Low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust and reserves for anticipated future expenses. Initial production rates may not be indicative of future production rates and are not indicative of the amounts of oil and gas that a well may produce. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2025 and prior periods, which could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
