SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES

MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR FEBRUARY 2026

Dallas, Texas, February 6, 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 $0.283370 per unit, payable on February 27, 2026, to unit holders of record on February 17, 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 November 2025 and the gas production for October 2025, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 45,316 barrels of oil and 1,026,714 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $59.01 per barrel of oil and $2.27 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 pricing for oil and natural gas.

(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 January, approximately $166,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of February in addition to normal cash receipts received during February. Since the close of business in January and prior to this press release, approximately $476,000 in revenue has been received.

Approximately $17,000 for 2025 Ad Valorem taxes were deducted from this month’s distribution as compared to $115,000 this time last year. Ad Valorem tax payments are normal expenditures at this time of year.

The 2024 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2024, Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.

FAQ

What cash distribution did Sabine Royalty Trust (SBR) declare for February 2026?

Sabine Royalty Trust declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.283370 per unit for February 2026. It will be paid on February 27, 2026 to unitholders of record on February 17, 2026, reflecting recent oil and gas production and pricing.

How did February 2026 production volumes for SBR compare to the prior month?

February’s distribution reflects preliminary volumes of 45,316 barrels of oil and 1,026,714 Mcf of gas. These were lower than the prior month’s 56,504 barrels of oil and 1,314,850 Mcf of gas, contributing to the reduced cash distribution.

What oil and gas prices underpin Sabine Royalty Trust’s February 2026 payout?

Preliminary average prices were $59.01 per barrel of oil and $2.27 per Mcf of gas. In the prior month, prices were slightly higher at $61.05 per barrel and $2.31 per Mcf, adding to the month-over-month decline in distributable cash.

Why is Sabine Royalty Trust’s February 2026 distribution lower than the previous month?

The February 2026 distribution is lower primarily because both oil and natural gas production and realized prices decreased. Reduced volumes and slightly weaker prices directly lowered royalty revenues available for distribution to SBR unitholders this month.

How does timing of royalty receipts affect SBR’s monthly distributions?

Sales volumes are recorded when the Trust receives and identifies royalty income, not when production occurs. Because most royalty payments arrive around the 25th and some after month-end posting, revenues can shift between months, causing fluctuations in reported volumes and distributions.

What tax and timing adjustments impacted SBR’s February 2026 distribution?

Approximately $17,000 of 2025 Ad Valorem taxes were deducted from this month’s distribution. Around $166,000 of revenue received after January’s posting will be included next month, and roughly $476,000 in revenue was received after January’s close.
