SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR APRIL 2025

Rhea-AI Summary

Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR) has announced its April 2025 cash distribution of $0.503880 per unit, payable on April 29, 2025, to unitholders of record on April 15, 2025. The distribution reflects oil production for January 2025 and gas production for December 2024.

Preliminary production volumes reached 102,540 barrels of oil and 1,410,501 Mcf of gas. Average prices were $44.22 per barrel of oil and $2.62 per Mcf of gas.

Approximately $119,000 of revenue will be posted in April, with an additional $180,000 received since March's close.

DALLAS, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.503880 per unit, payable on April 29, 2025, to unit holders of record on April 15, 2025. Sabine's cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports can be requested and are mailed free of charge.

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for January 2025 and the gas production for December 2024, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 102,540 barrels of oil and 1,410,501 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $44.22 per barrel of oil and $2.62 per Mcf of gas.

This month's distribution is higher than the previous month's primarily due to an increase in oil and gas production, along with an increase in the price of natural gas, partially offset by a decrease in the price of oil. This month's realized oil price of $44.22 per barrel is significantly lower than national averages due to multiple prior period adjustments from various remitters. However, the price of oil for the current production month averaged $71.56 per barrel.

The table below compares this month's production and prices to the previous month's:

		Net to Trust Sales
		Volumes (a)						Average Price (a)
		Oil (bbls)			Gas (Mcf)			Oil (per bbl)		Gas (per Mcf)
Current Month		102,540			1,410,501			$44.22		$2.62
Prior Month		45,827			1,044,259			$69.44		$1.86

(a) Sales volumes are recorded in the month the Trust receives and identifies the related royalty income. Because of this, sales volumes and pricing may fluctuate from month to month based on the timing of cash receipts.

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified, and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25^th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of March, approximately $119,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of April in addition to normal cash receipts received during April. Since the close of business in March and prior to this press release, approximately $180,000 in revenue has been received.

The 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the December 31, 2024, Reserve Summary is available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
