PermRock Royalty Trust Declares Monthly Cash Distribution

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PermRock Royalty Trust (NYSE:PRT) (the "Trust") today declared a monthly cash distribution to record holders of its trust units representing beneficial interests in the Trust ("Trust Units") as of January 31, 2019 and payable on February 14, 2019 in the amount of $0.087678 per Trust Unit, based principally upon production during the month of November 2018.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations:

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $2.25 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.41 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes and oil prices compared to the prior month.

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.10 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.15 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes and gas prices compared to the prior month. The production month of November has one less day than the previous production month of October. Further, lower natural gas prices for the month of November primarily relate to the renegotiation and extension of a longer-term contract for the sale of natural gas at market prices.  In the meantime, Boaz Energy received and expects to be paid lower, short-term sales prices until the longer-term contract is effective.  Boaz Energy projects that contract to be effective February 1, 2019. 

Hedge settlement revenue in the amount of $550,850 has also been included in the calculation of net proceeds.  Basin differentials continue to affect oil and gas prices.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses and workover expenses, were $0.76 million, an increase of $0.06 million from the prior month. Severance and ad valorem taxes were $0.33 million, a decrease of $0.18 million from the prior month.  

Capital expenditures were $0.45 million in the current month, an increase of $0.26 million from the prior month.  Boaz Energy has advised the Trustee that the increase in capital expenditures reported in recent months was primarily attributable to pre-payment for non-operated drilling in Glasscock County, Texas as well as continued drilling and completion operations on non-operated acreage in Crane County, Texas.
