Permian Basin Royalty Trust Announces October Cash Distribution


DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) ("Permian") today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.053960 per unit, payable on November 14, 2017, to unit holders of record on October 31, 2017.

This month's distribution increased from the previous month due to a decrease of the lease operating expenses (LOE) occurring on the Waddell Ranch underlying properties.  This decrease of LOE is the result of completion of repairs of the Tubb McKnight Water Station. Also, an increase in oil production offset by a decrease in gas production for the Waddell Ranch properties. A slight increase in pricing for oil was offset by a decrease of pricing for gas production of the underlying Waddell Ranch properties.  The Texas Royalty Properties had a slight decline in oil and gas production offset by a slight increase in the pricing of and gas production and a slight decrease in pricing of oil production.     

 Capital expenditures on the Waddell Ranch are lower this month than previous months, with it being mostly facility projects for the remainder of the year.  It is not clear at this time as to what the total cost to Trust will be until it is incurred and charged to the Trust.  It is anticipated that these expenses will continue to be forthcoming in the following months.

WADDELL RANCH
Production for the underlying properties at the Waddell Ranch was 65,428 barrels of oil and 336,325 Mcf of gas.  The production for the Trust's allocated portion of the Waddell Ranch was 29,100 barrels of oil and 150,549 Mcf of gas.  The average price for oil was $44.81 per bbl and for gas was $2.97 per Mcf.  This would primarily reflect production and pricing for the month of August for oil and the month of July for gas. These allocated volumes were significantly impacted by the pricing of both oil and gas.

This production and pricing for the Underlying Properties resulted in revenues for the Waddell Ranch Properties of $3,929,527.  Deducted from these would be the Lease Operating Expense (LOE) of $1,333,377, taxes of $265,992, and Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) of $97,621 totaling $1,696,990 resulting in a Net Profit of $2,232,537 for the month of September.  With the Trust's Net Profit Interest (NPI) of 75% of the underlying properties, this would result in a net contribution by the Waddell Ranch Properties of $1,674,402 to this month's distribution.
