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.
