How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Total third quarter 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $80.4 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Cash available for distribution financial
"75% of cash available for distribution for the third quarter of 2026"
Cash available for distribution is the amount of cash a business has left after paying everyday operating costs, required debt payments and setting aside routine reserves, which can be paid out to shareholders or investors. It matters because it shows whether a company has real, repeatable money to cover dividends or distributions—like the portion of a household paycheck left after bills that you can safely spend or save—so investors can judge income sustainability and financial health.
Borrowing base financial
"the borrowing base and elected commitments on Kimbell’s secured revolving credit facility"
A borrowing base is the amount a lender will allow a company to borrow based on the value of assets the company offers as security, typically things like accounts receivable and inventory. It matters to investors because it sets a practical ceiling on short-term financing and influences a company’s liquidity and risk: if the borrowing base falls, the company may lose access to cash or be forced to sell assets, which can affect operations and share value.
DUCs technical
"1,005 gross (4.56 net) DUCs"
DUCs are oil or gas wells that have been drilled but not yet finished so they can produce; think of the hole and pipe being in place but the final equipment and steps to start flow haven’t been done. For investors, the DUC count is like a company’s inventory of nearly ready products — it signals how quickly production (and revenue) can be brought online, how much near-term capital spending may be needed, and how flexible supply plans are.
Fixed Price Swaps financial
"Fixed Price Swaps as of September 30, 2026"
A fixed price swap is a financial contract where two parties agree to exchange payments: one side pays a set, unchanging price and the other pays a variable amount tied to a market rate or commodity price. Think of it as swapping a fluctuating electricity bill for a steady monthly charge; investors use these swaps to lock in costs or revenues, reduce exposure to price swings, and make future cash flows more predictable.
Total revenues $86.3 million Compared with $80.6 million in the same 2025 quarter.
Net income Approximately $17.3 million Compared with $22.3 million in the same 2025 quarter.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $80.4 million Compared with $62.3 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Guidance

Based on current quarter oil prices, Kimbell expects a material increase in cash flow in Q4 2026; approximately 84% of estimated Q4 2026 oil production is unhedged.

·On October 15, 2026, the borrowing base and elected commitments on Kimbell’s secured revolving credit facility increased from $660 Million to $750 Million

 

·On October 16, 2026, Kimbell gave notice to redeem 50% of the remaining Preferred Units. After closing, which is expected to occur on November 16, 2026, the remaining outstanding Preferred Units will be less than 3% of Kimbell’s $2.8 billion enterprise value

 

·As of September 30, 2026, Kimbell’s major properties3 had a record 9.37 net DUCs and net permitted locations on its acreage compared to an estimated 8.20 net wells needed to maintain flat production

 

·As of September 30, 2026, Kimbell had 93 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, an increase of 2 rigs from Q2 2026 and representing approximately 16% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time

 

·Announced a Q3 2026 cash distribution of $0.45 per common unit, reflecting a payout ratio of 75% of cash available for distribution; implies a 10.7% annualized yield based on the October 30, 2026 closing price of $16.88 per common unit; Kimbell intends to utilize the remaining 25% of its cash available for distribution to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under Kimbell’s secured revolving credit facility

 

·Kimbell affirms its financial and operational guidance ranges for Q4 2026 previously disclosed in its recent guidance press release announced on August 24, 2026

 

Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell’s general partner (the “General Partner”), commented, “We are pleased to report another outstanding quarter for Kimbell, which included record production, an increase in our rig count by 2 rigs to 93 rigs actively drilling across our acreage and record line of sight wells. In addition, we provided notice to redeem half of the remaining Preferred Units, which further simplifies our capital structure and reduces our cost of capital. After closing this redemption later this month, the face value of the remaining outstanding Preferred Units will be less than 3% of Kimbell’s $2.8 billion enterprise value. Finally, we increased the Company’s borrowing base and elected commitments from $660 million to $750 million on Kimbell’s secured revolving credit facility.

 

“We are pleased to declare the Q3 2026 distribution of 45 cents per common unit, reflecting a 10.7% annualized tax advantaged yield based on Kimbell’s closing price on October 30, 2026. We estimate that approximately 76% of this distribution is expected to be considered return of capital and not subject to dividend taxes, further enhancing the after-tax return to our common unitholders.

 

“With the recent surge in oil prices, we expect activity across the lower 48 to remain strong as we complete 2026 and enter 2027, especially in the Permian Basin, which is our largest basin by revenue, production, rig count, DUCs and permits. Based on current quarter oil prices, we expect a material increase in cash flow in Q4 2026, especially since approximately 84% of our estimated Q4 2026 oil production is unhedged.

 

“It has been a busy year with M&A and we have now closed $367 million in acquisitions since June 2026. We remain bullish on the U.S. oil and natural gas industry, our role as a leading consolidator in the sector and the prospects for Kimbell to generate long-term unitholder value for years to come.”

 

 

3 These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which generally have a net revenue interest of 0.1% or below and are time consuming to quantify but, in the estimation of Kimbell's management, could add an additional 10% to Kimbell’s net inventory.

Third Quarter 2026 Distribution and Debt Repayment

 

Today, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board of Directors”) approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the third quarter of 2026, or $0.45 per common unit. The distribution will be payable on November 23, 2026 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2026. Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the third quarter of 2026 to pay down approximately $18.8 million of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility.

 

Kimbell expects that approximately 76% of its third quarter 2026 distribution should not constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead is estimated to constitute a non-taxable reduction to the basis of each distribution recipient’s ownership interest in Kimbell common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders’ capital gain (or decrease unitholders’ capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. The Form 8937 containing additional information may be found at www.kimbellrp.com under the “Investor Relations” section of the site. Kimbell currently believes that the portion that constitutes dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2026. Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.

 

Financial Highlights

 

During the third quarter of 2026, the Partnership’s total revenues were $86.3 million, net income was approximately $17.3 million and net income attributable to common units was approximately $12.4 million, or $0.12 per common unit.

 

Excluding the effect of certain prior period adjustments, Kimbell’s third quarter 2026 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $86.18, per Mcf of natural gas was $2.21, per Bbl of NGLs was $25.23 and per Boe combined was $40.41.

 

Total third quarter 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $80.4 million (consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures at the end of this news release).

 

In the third quarter of 2026, G&A expense was $10.7 million, $6.3 million of which was Cash G&A expense, or $2.48 per Boe (Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see definition under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Supplemental Schedules included in this news release). Unit-based compensation in the third quarter of 2026, which is a non-cash G&A expense, was $4.4 million or $1.73 per Boe.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures by management and external users of Kimbell’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.  Kimbell believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate Kimbell’s operating performance and compare the results of Kimbell’s operations period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.  In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay distributions to Kimbell’s unitholders.  Kimbell defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash unit-based compensation and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments.  Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP.  Kimbell excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within Kimbell’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.  Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.  Kimbell’s computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  Kimbell expects that cash available for distribution for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

 

Kimbell believes Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are useful metrics because they isolate cash costs within overall G&A expense and measure cash costs relative to overall production, which is a widely utilized metric to evaluate operational performance within the energy sector. Cash G&A is defined as general and administrative expenses less unit-based compensation expense. Cash G&A per Boe is defined as Cash G&A divided by total production for a period. Cash G&A should not be considered an alternative to G&A expense presented in accordance with GAAP. Kimbell’s computations of Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
