Viper Energy, Inc., a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc., is focused on owning and acquiring mineral and royalty interests in oil-weighted basins, primarily the Permian Basin in West Texas. The company recently announced its third-quarter 2025 financial and operating results, highlighting a significant acquisition and a strategic asset divestiture.
In the third quarter of 2025, Viper Energy reported an average production of 56,087 barrels of oil per day and a consolidated net loss of $197 million, primarily due to a non-cash impairment. Despite the loss, the company achieved a consolidated adjusted net income of $156 million. Viper declared a total base-plus-variable dividend of $0.58 per Class A common share, reflecting a 6.2% annualized yield.
Key highlights include the completion of the Sitio Royalties Corp. acquisition valued at approximately $4 billion and the agreement to sell non-Permian assets for $670 million. The company also repurchased 2.4 million shares of its Class A common stock for $90 million. Viper’s return of capital to shareholders totaled $140 million, representing 85% of pro forma cash available for distribution.
Looking forward, Viper Energy’s management anticipates a 20% increase in oil production per share in Q4 2025 compared to the previous year and expects mid-single-digit organic oil production growth into 2026. The company remains committed to returning capital to shareholders, with plans to allocate the majority of cash available for distribution to dividends and share buybacks.
