“This quarter’s strong results highlight the meaningful contribution derived from investments we have made in the water business since its inception in 2017,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “The substantial investment into hiring personnel and developing targeted infrastructure over several years was a pivotal moment in the Company’s history, purposefully positioning TPL to be at the forefront of the Permian Basin’s emergence as a world-class resource. This most recent quarter represents corporate records for each of water sales and produced water royalties revenues, which is a testament to the water segment’s continued success and relevance to TPL overall. The Permian Basin, with its enormous size and excellent resource quality, provides TPL a long growth runway, and we remain focused on extracting maximum value where we can leverage our superb people, technology, and asset footprint.”

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS
In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. We calculate Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense and capital expenditures. Its purpose is to provide an additional measure of operating performance. We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company’s operating performance. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 (in thousands):
