[8-K] LandBridge Co LLC Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LandBridge Company LLC, through subsidiary DBR Land Holdings LLC, entered into a new $275 million revolving credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank and other lenders. The facility matures on the earlier of June 30, 2030 or a date tied to the maturity of DBR Land’s senior notes and is secured by a first‑priority lien on substantially all assets of DBR Land and its subsidiaries. Proceeds from this revolver, together with net proceeds from a planned $500 million senior notes offering, are expected to repay and terminate the company’s existing credit facility.

The credit agreement includes quarterly financial covenants, such as a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 (temporarily 5.25:1.00 around certain acquisitions), and a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00. After giving effect to the notes offering and the 1918 Ranch acquisition, LandBridge estimates a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 5.0x, up from historical levels between 3.0x and 4.4x.

Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

LandBridge refinances with a $275M revolver and $500M notes, targeting stronger 5.0x debt service coverage.

DBR Land has arranged a $275,000,000 revolving credit facility secured by a first‑priority lien on substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ assets. The revolver, which can be drawn as SOFR or base rate loans, is intended to work together with a contemplated $500,000,000 senior notes offering to repay and terminate the existing credit facility. This shifts the debt stack toward a combination of longer‑dated notes and a committed revolver.

Covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50% to 1.00, a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 (with a temporary step‑up to 5.25:1.00 around permitted acquisitions), and a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00, all tested quarterly. These terms frame how much additional borrowing capacity DBR Land may have relative to earnings.

After factoring in the 1918 Ranch & Royalty acquisition, incremental borrowings, and the contemplated notes, the company estimates Covenant EBITDA of $179,595 versus cash debt service expenses of $35,593 for the LTM as of September 30, 2025, implying a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 5.0x. Earlier periods in the table show ratios between 3.0x and 4.4x, indicating improved coverage on a pro forma basis once the refinancing and acquisition effects are included.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 18, 2025, DBR Land Holdings LLC (“DBR Land”), a subsidiary of LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE: LB; NYSE TX: LB) (the “Company”), entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Texas Capital Bank, as administrative and collateral agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”).

The Credit Agreement provides for lender commitments of $275 million and matures on the earlier of (a) June 30, 2030, and (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of the Notes (as defined below) if, on such date, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is greater than $50 million (the “Maturity Date”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all assets of DBR Land and its subsidiaries, and is also guaranteed by each of its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement’s effectiveness (including the commitments of the Lenders thereunder) is subject to customary conditions including the issuance of the Notes (as defined below), and proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement, together with the net proceeds from the Offering (as defined below), are expected to be used to repay all borrowings outstanding under, and terminate, the Company’s existing credit facility.

The Credit Agreement provides for revolving borrowings subject to compliance with various financial and other covenants common in such agreements that apply to DBR Land and its restricted subsidiaries, including (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, (ii) a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00, provided that the maximum total net leverage ratio may step up to 5.25:1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which a Permitted Acquisition occurs and the two fiscal quarters following, and (iii) a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00, in each case, measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications provided in the Credit Agreement, including the ability to make unlimited restricted payments subject to (i) a maximum net total leverage ratio of less than 4.50:1.00, (ii) minimum liquidity of 5% (with “liquidity” including unrestricted cash on hand of DBR Land and its subsidiaries plus availability under the Credit Agreement), and (iii) such other restricted payments customarily permitted for publicly traded companies with a similar market capitalization as the Company.

Principal amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid from time to time and commitments thereunder may be terminated without premium or penalty. Any principal amounts outstanding on the Maturity Date will become due and payable on such date. At DBR Land’s election, principal amounts under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed as SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans. Term SOFR Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR for the applicable tenor plus a leverage-based applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum. Interest on all outstanding Term SOFR Loans is payable on the last business day of the applicable interest period. Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate which Truist Bank announces from time to time as its prime lending rate and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%, in each case plus a leverage-based applicable margin between 1.00% and 2.00% per annum. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears. DBR Land will also pay a commitment fee based on the applicable percentage of undrawn commitment amounts under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. Any defined terms used in this Item 1.01 but not defined herein shall have the definitions given to them in the Credit Agreement.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 19, 2025, in connection with the offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Notes”) by DBR Land, the Company provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of which are set forth below in Item 8.01 and are incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 19, 2025, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01, announcing that, subject to market conditions, DBR Land intends to commence the Offering of the Notes in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act to eligible purchasers.

In addition, the information contained in Item 2.02 and Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information included in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 19, 2025, in connection with the Offering, the Company provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of which are set forth below.

******

Following the offering of the Notes, the Company will have a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 5.0x, after giving effect to (i) the estimated pro forma EBITDA associated with the assets acquired in the Company’s previously announced acquisition from 1918 Ranch & Royalty, LLC (the “1918 Ranch Acquisition”), and (ii) the resulting debt service impact of the contemplated Notes offering.

Debt Service is an important component in the calculation of the ratio of the Company’s Covenant EBITDA to the Company’s Debt Service. The Company believes that Debt Service is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure useful to investors because it reviews Debt Service to assess the Company’s overall financial flexibility and capital structure. Further, the Company believes that the ratio of the Company’s Covenant EBITDA to Debt Service is a useful measure as it monitors the sustainability of its debt levels and its ability to take on additional debt against Covenant EBITDA, which is used as an operating performance measure. The Company defines Debt Service as interest expense on indebtedness and amortization payments towards indebtedness principal. Debt Service Coverage Ratio is used by the Company and its lenders for purposes of covenant calculations in the Credit Agreement. We define Debt Service Coverage Ratio as the ratio of Covenant EBITDA to Debt Service.

As used below, “as adjusted” columns give effect to additional borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility to pay a portion of the cash portion of the purchase price of the 1918 Ranch Acquisition, and “as further adjusted” columns give effect to such borrowings, this offering and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the use of proceeds therefrom.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Debt Service balances as determined in accordance with GAAP to Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the periods indicated.
