Insights

Energy Income Trust Analyst

Sabine's August distribution rises 42% from previous month due to substantial oil production surge and higher oil prices.

Sabine Royalty Trust has declared a $0.744730 per unit distribution for August 2025, payable on August 29 to unitholders of record as of August 15. This distribution represents a notable improvement compared to the previous month, driven by two key factors: significantly increased production volumes and higher oil pricing.

The trust reported preliminary oil production of 121,894 barrels, representing a dramatic 185% increase from the previous month's 42,748 barrels. Gas production also rose substantially to 1,280,573 Mcf, up 36% from 940,600 Mcf. The average price received for oil climbed to $69.53 per barrel (up 6.2%), while natural gas prices declined to $2.77 per Mcf (down 14.5%).

The substantial jump in oil production is particularly significant given oil's higher value relative to natural gas in the current pricing environment. With oil at nearly $70 per barrel, the increased volumes have a meaningful impact on distributable cash flow. The timing of royalty receipts plays an important role in monthly distributions, with approximately $4,782,450 in revenue received at month-end that will be included in next month's distribution.

This distribution pattern highlights the variable nature of royalty trust income, where production volumes and commodity prices directly impact unitholder returns. The increased distribution demonstrates the trust's leverage to both production volumes and commodity prices, with oil production gains and higher oil prices more than offsetting the decline in natural gas pricing for this period.

DALLAS, Aug. 5, 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 $0.744730 per unit, payable on August 29, 2025, to unit holders of record on August 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 May 2025 and the gas production for April 2025, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 121,894 barrels of oil and 1,280,573 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $69.53 per barrel of oil and $2.77 per Mcf of gas.

This month's distribution is higher than the previous month's primarily due to an increase in oil and natural gas production, along with an increase in oil pricing.

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		121,894			1,280,573			$69.53		$2.77
Prior Month		42,748			940,600			$65.46		$3.24

(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 July, approximately $4,782,450 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of August in addition to normal cash receipts received during August. Since the close of business in July and prior to this press release, approximately $371,000 in revenue has been received.
