Key Terms

units of beneficial interest, mcf, royalty income, form 10-k

4 terms

units of beneficial interest financial

"declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.497900"

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.

mcf technical

"Preliminary production volumes are approximately 56,677 barrels of oil and 1,220,056 Mcf of gas."

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.

royalty income financial

"Sales volumes are recorded in the month the Trust receives and identifies the related royalty income."

Royalty income is money a company or individual receives for allowing others to use its intellectual property, natural resources, or patented processes — like collecting rent when you let someone use your idea, song, mineral rights, or technology. It matters to investors because royalties can provide steady, often high-margin cash flow with low ongoing costs, making a business more predictable and easier to value; think of it as a durable revenue stream that keeps paying as long as the asset is in demand.

form 10-k regulatory

"The 2025 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2025, Reserve Summary are available"

A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators. It provides a detailed overview of a company's financial health, operations, and risks, similar to a detailed health report. Investors use this information to assess the company's performance and make informed decisions about buying or selling its stock.

DALLAS, May 5, 2026 /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 $0.497900 per unit, payable on May 29, 2026, to unit holders of record on May 15, 2026. 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 February 2026 and the gas production for January 2026, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 56,677 barrels of oil and 1,220,056 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $60.97 per barrel of oil and $3.98 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 pricing, as well as an increase in oil and natural gas production.

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		56,677			1,220,056			$60.97		$3.98
Prior Month		44,645			885,409			$57.57		$3.42

(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 April, approximately $1,338,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of May in addition to normal cash receipts received during May. Since the close of business in April and prior to this press release, approximately $879,000 in revenue has been received.

The 2025 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2025, Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
