Full-year revenue reached $798.2 million, up from $705.8 million, while net income rose to $481.4 million, or $6.97 per diluted share. Free cash flow was $498.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $687.4 million, reflecting high margins across royalties, surface, and water businesses.

The company completed a $450.7 million all-cash acquisition of 17,306 net royalty acres, invested $50 million in a data infrastructure venture, entered a $500 million undrawn revolving credit facility, and effected a three-for-one stock split.

Insights
Record 2025 cash generation, scaled royalties and water, with a larger footprint and more liquidity.
Texas Pacific Land delivered 2025 revenue of $798.2 million and net income of $481.4 million, both records despite lower realized commodity prices. Royalty production grew to 34.6 thousand Boe per day, while water services and produced water royalties expanded meaningfully.
Margins remained elevated, with Adjusted EBITDA of $687.4 million and free cash flow of $498.3 million, supporting $147.8 million of dividends and $8.4 million of share repurchases in the year. A new $500 million revolving credit facility and continued net cash position add financial flexibility.
Strategically, the $450.7 million royalty acquisition and $50 million investment in Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. increase exposure to future Permian development and potential data-center–linked opportunities. A 12.5% dividend increase to $0.60 per share, effective for the March 2026 payment, underscores the emphasis on returning capital while funding growth.
