net profits interest financial
"formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits"
A net profits interest (NPI) is a contractual right to receive a fixed percentage of a project’s or asset’s profits after allowable costs are paid, rather than a share of gross revenue or ownership. For investors, it matters because it gives upside tied to actual profitability while shielding the holder from direct operating expenses and capital calls, similar to getting a portion of the leftover profits from a business after the bills are settled.
Underlying Properties financial
"from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”)"
Underlying properties are the real assets or core characteristics that determine the value and behavior of a financial instrument or investment—like the actual stock, bond, commodity, or physical real estate backing a security, or the legal and physical traits of a property. They matter to investors because these fundamentals drive returns, risks, liquidity and legal rights; understanding them is like checking an engine and tires before trusting a car for a long trip.
capital expenditures financial
"future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2025"
Capital expenditures are the money a company spends to buy or improve big assets like buildings, equipment, or machines that will last a long time. These investments matter because they help the company grow and operate more efficiently, similar to how upgrading a home’s appliances or adding a new room can make it better and more valuable.
cash reserve financial
"the Sponsor has established a cash reserve for approved, future development expenses"
Cash reserve is the amount of readily available cash a company keeps on hand to pay bills, handle unexpected costs, or seize quick opportunities—like an emergency fund for a household. For investors, a healthy cash reserve signals that a business can weather downturns, fund short-term needs without borrowing, and maintain flexibility for investments or dividends; too much idle cash, however, may suggest missed growth opportunities.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
royalty adjustments financial
"primarily due to the prior period royalty adjustments that represented a partial, one-time reporting catch-up"

Permianville Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution

 

HOUSTON, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 17, 2026

 

Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.010000 per unit, payable on May 15, 2026, to unitholders of record on April 30, 2026. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of January 2026 and reported natural gas production during December 2025. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in February 2026.

 

The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations.

 

    Underlying Sales Volumes   Average Price 
    Oil   Natural Gas   Oil   Natural Gas 
    Bbls   Bbls/D   Mcf   Mcf/D   (per Bbl)   (per Mcf) 
Current Month    38,192    1,232    766,861    24,737   $52.05   $3.60 
Prior Month    29,538    953    1,133,064    37,769   $55.90   $2.97 

 

Recorded oil cash receipts from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled $2.0 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $52.05/Bbl, up $0.3 million from the prior month’s oil cash receipts. The increase in oil sales was due in part to a temporary delay in reported revenues in the prior month that impacted certain of the Underlying Properties.

 

Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $2.8 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $3.60/Mcf, down $0.6 million from the prior month. The decrease in natural gas sales in the current month compared to the prior month was primarily due to the prior period royalty adjustments that represented a partial, one-time reporting catch-up for gas receipts.

 

Total accrued operating expenses decreased $0.1 million from the prior month to $2.9 million, and capital expenditures increased $0.2 million from the prior month to $0.9 million.

 

As previously disclosed, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) has established a cash reserve for approved, future development expenses, primarily associated with three incremental Haynesville wells that an operator on the Underlying Properties has indicated it intends to drill in the coming months. Given the increase in expected spending, the Sponsor has notified the Trustee that it is withholding an additional $0.3 million from the current month’s net profits to be added to this cash reserve. To date, the Sponsor has established a total reserve of $1.2 million for approved, future development expenses. This reserve is intended to fund an expected increase in development expenses; however, if those expenses are ultimately delayed or are less than expected, or if the outlook changes, amounts reserved but unspent will be released as an incremental cash distribution in a future period.

 

 

 

 

About Permianville Royalty Trust

 

Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain, predominantly non-operated, oil and gas properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com.

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements

 

This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders and expectations regarding future development on the Underlying Properties. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which can fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and the Sponsor. Low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust and reserves for anticipated future expenses. Initial production rates may not be indicative of future production rates and are not indicative of the amounts of oil and gas that a well may produce. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2025 and prior periods, which could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
