Declares quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share
HOUSTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE: LB; NYSE TX: LB) (the “Company,” or “LandBridge”) today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Recent Milestones
1
Jason Long, Chief Executive Officer of LandBridge, stated, “We are proud to announce another strong quarter of growth, reinforcing the strength and durability of our business model, along with the commercial firepower we continue to bring to bear across our footprint. We remain excited about the continued growth trajectory ahead of us, both from the oil and gas and produced water industry and from the longer-term digital infrastructure opportunity, where momentum is building quickly, as evidenced by our robust and growing list of non-binding commercial agreements and incremental interest across our acreage position."
Scott McNeely, Chief Financial Officer of LandBridge, said, “Our second quarter results underscore the durability of a high-margin, asset-light business model that continues to convert growth across multiple revenue streams into outsized free cash flow, a dynamic we expect to continue as the business grows in scale. Equally significant, our Board's approval to redomicile in Texas as a corporation reflects a deliberate step toward broader index eligibility and reinforces our disciplined focus on long-term shareholder value creation."
Second Quarter 2026 Consolidated Financial Information
Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $66.8 million as compared to $51.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $47.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was attributable to growth across multiple key revenue streams, including increases of $0.1 million in resource sales and royalties, $15.2 million in surface use royalties and revenues, $0.6 million in oil and gas royalties, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in other revenue. Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $31.0 million as compared to $17.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net income of $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.(1)
Adjusted EBITDA was $59.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $44.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Diversified Revenue Streams
Surface Use Royalties and Revenue: Generated revenues of $52.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $37.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $34.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Surface Use Royalties and Revenue increased $15.2 million sequentially, primarily driven by an increase in produced water handling volumes across our acreage as well as an overall increase in commercial activity on our land.
Resources Sales and Royalties: Generated revenues of $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Revenue from Resource Sales and Royalties increased $0.1 million sequentially, primarily driven by increases in water sales on our legacy acreage.
Oil and Gas Royalties: Generated revenues of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Revenue from Oil and Gas Royalties increased $0.6 million sequentially, primarily driven by higher oil prices in the quarter.
Free Cash Flow Generation
Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $41.4 million as compared to $41.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $37.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Free Cash Flow for the second quarter of 2026 was $40.2 million as compared to $40.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $36.1 million in the second quarter of 2025.(2)

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $230.0 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility.
Total cash and cash equivalents were $39.8 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $29.7 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company had $545.2 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2026, versus $545.5 million outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
3
Subsequent to the quarter on August 4, 2026, DBR Land Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the Company ("OpCo"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its 2025 revolving credit agreement (the "2025 Revolving Credit Facility"). Pursuant to the Amendment, lender commitments were increased by $100.0 million, from $275.0 million to $375.0 million, through the exercise in full of the incremental commitment capacity available under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Concurrently, the Amendment re-established incremental commitment capacity of up to an additional $100.0 million, which may be exercised by OpCo from time to time subject to the receipt of additional lender commitments and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Giving effect to the foregoing, lender commitments under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to up to $475.0 million.
In addition, the Amendment reduced the applicable margins under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% (25 basis points) at each level of the pricing grid. As amended, Term SOFR Loans bear interest at Term SOFR for the applicable tenor plus a leverage-based applicable margin between 1.75% and 2.75% per annum, and Base Rate Loans bear interest at the applicable base rate plus a leverage-based applicable margin between 0.75% and 1.75% per annum.
Except as described above, the other material terms of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, including the Maturity Date, the commitment fee and the financial and other covenants, remained unchanged.
Recent Transactions
Subsequent to the second quarter on August 4, 2026, LandBridge agreed to acquire approximately 560 acres of fee surface underlying the Northern Delaware Basin Landfill in Lea County, New Mexico, for total consideration of $20 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 concurrently with the acquisition of the NDB Landfill by WaterBridge, subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of all required consents and approvals. In connection with the land acquisition, WaterBridge and LandBridge will enter into a long-term surface use agreement for the NDB Landfill. The land acquisition, including the valuation and the surface use agreement, was approved by a Conflicts Committee of the LandBridge Board of Directors consisting entirely of independent directors.
Second Quarter 2026 Dividend
The Board declared a dividend on our Class A shares of $0.12 per share, payable on September 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 27, 2026, and a corresponding required cash distribution to OpCo unitholders.

2026 Outlook
The Company reaffirms its outlook for fiscal year 2026, with Adjusted EBITDA expected to be between $210 million and $230 million.
Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly non-recurring gains or losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue. We are unable to reasonably predict these because they are uncertain and depend on various factors not yet known, which could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
(1) Q2 2026 net income and net income margin include a non-cash expense of $11.2 million attributable to share-based compensation, of which $9.0 million is attributable to management units issued by LandBridge Holdings LLC. Any actual cash expense associated with such management units will be borne solely by LandBridge Holdings LLC and not the Company. The management units are not dilutive of public ownership.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included within the Appendix of this press release for related disclosures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Our financial statements and related footnotes are available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which is expected to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 5, 2026.
Conference Call and Webcast Information
The Company will hold a conference call on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss second quarter results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking statements that are based on LandBridge’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, LandBridge, and therefore involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Generally, future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” or “could,” and the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, assumptions, future operations and prospects and other statements that are not historical facts, including our estimated future financial performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although LandBridge believes that plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements made herein are reasonable, LandBridge may be unable to achieve such plans, intentions or expectations and actual results, and performance or achievements may vary materially and adversely from those envisaged in this news release due to a number of factors including, but not limited to: our customers’ demand for and use of our land and resources; the success of WaterBridge in executing its business strategies, including its ability to construct and operate water infrastructure assets, attract customers and operate successfully on our land; our customers’ ability to develop our land or potential changes to our customers' development plans, or any potential acquired acreage to accommodate any future surface use developments, such as data centers or other digital infrastructure; our ability to continue the payment of dividends; the domestic and foreign supply of, and demand for, energy sources, including the impact of political instability or armed conflict in oil and natural gas producing regions, including increased hostilities in the Middle East, including Iran, and other sustained military campaigns, the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as the conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia and acts of terrorism or sabotage, actions relating to oil price and production controls by the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other allied producing countries with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes to such levels; our reliance on a limited number of customers and on a particular region for substantially all of our revenues, including the potential consolidation of such customers within such region and the degree to which such consolidation may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions in the near term; our ability to enter into favorable contracts regarding surface uses, access agreements and fee arrangements, including the prices we are able to charge and the margins we are able to realize; our business strategies and our ability to execute thereon, including our ability to attract non-traditional energy customers to use our land and resources and to successfully implement our growth plans and manage any resultant growth; our ability to successfully implement our growth plans, including through future acquisitions of acreage and/or the introduction of new revenue streams, the costs associated with such acquisitions and revenue streams, and the risk that we may not be able to integrate and/or realize the anticipated benefits therefrom; our level of indebtedness and our ability to service our indebtedness; and any changes in general economic, business and/or industry conditions and market volatility, including as a result of
6
slowing growth, a potential economic recession, an elevated inflation rate, high interest rates, changes in U.S. and international trade policies and relations, and central bank policy, as well as associated liquidity risks. These risks, as well as other risks associated with LandBridge are also more fully discussed in LandBridge's filings with the SEC, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. You can access LandBridge’s filings with the SEC through the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are supplemental non-GAAP measures that we use to evaluate current, past and expected future performance. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and cash flows, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, gross margin or any other measures presented under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to assess the financial performance of our assets over the long term to generate sufficient cash to return capital to equity holders or service indebtedness. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest; taxes; depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion; share-based compensation; non-recurring transaction-related expenses and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period, and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the periods indicated.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are used to assess our ability to repay our indebtedness, return capital to our shareholders and fund potential acquisitions without access to external sources of financing for such purposes. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operating activities less investment in capital expenditures. We define Free Cash Flow Margin as Free Cash Flow divided by total revenues.
We believe Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are useful because they allow for an effective evaluation of both our operating and financial performance, as well as the capital intensity of our business, and subsequently the ability of our operations to generate cash flow that is available to distribute to our shareholders, reduce leverage or support acquisition activities.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin, respectively, for the periods indicated.
