Quarterly Operational Records
Q4 set records for oil & gas royalty production, water sales volumes and produced water royalties; water sales exceeded 1 million barrels per day for the first time and grew 36% year-over-year (Q4).
Strong Q4 Financial Metrics
Q4 consolidated revenue of approximately $212 million, adjusted EBITDA of $178 million, adjusted EBITDA margin of 84%, and quarter free cash flow of $119 million.
Record Annual Consolidated Results
Fiscal year 2025 delivered record consolidated revenue, net income and free cash flow of approximately $498 million (an 8% year-over-year increase).
Robust Production Growth and Multi-Year CAGR
Full-year royalty production increased 29% year-over-year; FY produced water royalty daily volumes rose 25%, and TPL achieved 3-year CAGRs (2022–2025) of 17% for oil & gas royalty production, 18% for water sales and 30% for produced water royalty volumes.
Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns
Declared regular dividend of $0.60 per share, a 12.5% increase versus prior quarter; capital expenditures for 2025 were $66 million (at low end of guidance).
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Ended year with $145 million cash, zero debt and a newly closed $500 million credit facility that remains fully undrawn, providing flexibility to invest, acquire assets and return capital.
Strategic Next-Generation Initiatives
Strategic investment in Bolt Data & Energy (AI/data center platform chaired by Eric Schmidt) with TPL retaining ROFR to supply water; active site evaluations and advanced customer/developer discussions across acreage.
Desalination and Tech Development Progress
10,000 bbl/day Orla Phase 2b desalination facility nearing completion with an implemented process improvement from R&D expected to reduce cycles, capital and operating costs; plan to invest ~$20 million in co-location equipment to test waste heat capture and data center cooling.
Well Inventory and Efficiency Trends
Line-of-sight wells totaled 19.5 net (5.6 permitted, 9.8 DUCs, 4.0 completed-not-producing); average lateral lengths increased (wells on TPL acreage 8% longer vs prior year; new permitted wells avg lateral 35% longer vs 2024) and over 100 new permits >15,000 ft, 34 wells >20,000 ft.
Industry Positioning Amid DUC Drawdown
Management cites industry DUC drawdown (est. ~600 DUCs in 2025) and remaining Permian DUC inventory (3,500–4,000) as providing at least a year-plus runway to support completions without adding rigs, supporting basin production resiliency.
