This month's distribution is lower than the previous month's primarily due to a decrease in oil and gas production, along with a decrease in the price of oil and gas.

		Net to Trust Sales
		Volumes (a)						Average Price (a)
		Oil (bbls)			Gas (Mcf)			Oil (per bbl)		Gas (per Mcf)
Current Month		45,827			1,044,259			$69.44		$1.86

Receipt of Settlement Proceeds

The March distribution includes a $400,000 settlement payment received by Sabine Royalty Trust ("Sabine"), pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between Sabine and TGNR East Texas II, LLC (TGNR) dated February 18, 2025. This settlement payment relates to unpaid royalties on various TGNR operated wells in Panola County, Texas. These unpaid royalties were discovered during Sabine's ongoing revenue audit.

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 February, essentially all revenue received was posted. Since the close of business in February and prior to this press release, approximately $1,104,000 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/.
