Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sabine Royalty Trust (SBR), through Argent Trust Company as trustee, declared a cash distribution of $0.331680 per unit, payable on September 29, 2026 to unitholders of record on September 15, 2026. The distribution is based primarily on oil production for June 2026 and gas production for May 2026.

Preliminary volumes were 39,647 barrels of oil and 1,094,091 Mcf of gas, at average prices of $79.10 per barrel and $2.33 per Mcf, respectively, compared with prior-month volumes of 72,119 barrels of oil and 1,408,574 Mcf of gas at $98.43 per barrel and $2.21 per Mcf. The distribution is lower than the previous month, which the trustee attributes mainly to decreased oil and gas production and lower oil pricing, partly offset by higher gas pricing. Approximately $199,000 of revenue received around month-end August will be posted in September, and about $1,141,000 in revenue was received after the August close and before this announcement.

Units of Beneficial Interest financial
"Title of each class ... Units of Beneficial Interest"
Units of beneficial interest are pieces of ownership in a trust, fund, or pooled investment that give the holder a right to a share of the assets and income without holding the underlying property directly. Think of them as slices of a pie that entitle you to future slices of profit or distributions; investors care because these units determine how returns, risks, voting rights, and tax treatment are allocated and how easily you can buy or sell your stake.
Net to Trust Sales financial
"The table below compares this month’s production and prices ... Net to Trust Sales"
royalty income financial
"Sales volumes are recorded in the month the Trust receives and identifies the related royalty income"
Royalty income is money a company or individual receives for allowing others to use its intellectual property, natural resources, or patented processes — like collecting rent when you let someone use your idea, song, mineral rights, or technology. It matters to investors because royalties can provide steady, often high-margin cash flow with low ongoing costs, making a business more predictable and easier to value; think of it as a durable revenue stream that keeps paying as long as the asset is in demand.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Any statements in this press release about future events or conditions ... constitute forward-looking statements"
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.
Risk Factors regulatory
"factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Trust’s Annual Report"
Risk factors are elements or conditions that could cause an investment's value to decrease or lead to potential losses. They are like warning signs or obstacles that can affect the success of an investment, making it uncertain or more unpredictable. Recognizing risk factors helps investors understand the possible challenges and make more informed decisions.

SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES

MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR SEPTEMBER 2026

Dallas, Texas, September 4, 2026 – Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.331680 per unit, payable on September 29, 2026, to unit holders of record on September 15, 2026. Sabine’s cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports can be requested and are mailed free of charge.

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for June 2026 and the gas production for May 2026, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 39,647 barrels of oil and 1,094,091 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $79.10 per barrel of oil and $2.33 per Mcf of gas.

This month’s distribution is lower than the previous month’s primarily due to a decrease in oil and natural gas production along with lower oil pricing, slightly offset by higher natural gas pricing.

(a)
Sales volumes are recorded in the month the Trust receives and identifies the related royalty income. Because of this, sales volumes and pricing may fluctuate from month to month based on the timing of cash receipts.

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified, and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of August, approximately $199,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of September in addition to normal cash receipts received during September. Since the close of business in August and prior to this press release, approximately $1,141,000 in revenue has been received.

The 2025 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2025, Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
