Permian Basin Royalty Trust Announces November Cash Distribution


DALLAS, Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank, as Trustee of the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) ("Permian") today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.049958 per unit, payable on December 14, 2018, to unit holders of record on November 30, 2018.

This month's distribution decreased from the previous month due to an increase of LOE expenditures relating to substantive workover expense for the previous month, which in turn, through the allocation of the Trust's production from the underlying properties, resulted in an increase in both oil and gas production allocated to the Trust's interest for the Waddell Ranch properties.  This was offset by a decline in the pricing of both oil and gas.  The Texas Royalty Properties saw an increase in the production of both oil and gas that was offset by a decline in the pricing of oil and gas for the month.

WADDELL RANCH
Production for the underlying properties at the Waddell Ranch was 52,625 barrels of oil and 298,643 Mcf of gas.  The production for the Trust's allocated portion of the Waddell Ranch was 17,053 barrels of oil and 97,267 Mcf of gas.  The average price for oil was $53.32 per bbl and for gas was $3.51 per Mcf.  This would primarily reflect production and pricing for the month of September for oil and the month of August 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 $3,838,544.  Deducted from these would be the Lease Operating Expense (LOE) of $1,932,572, taxes of $257,757 and Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) of $58,448 totaling $2,248,777 resulting in a Net Profit of $1,589,767 for the month of October.  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 $1,192,325 to this month's distribution.
