Record Quarterly Financials
Consolidated revenue of approximately $237 million — a quarterly all-time high — up 12% sequentially and 21% year-over-year. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $181 million, up 2% sequentially and 7% year-over-year. Free cash flow was $136 million, up 15% sequentially and 8% year-over-year.
Strong Production Growth
Oil and gas royalty production averaged ~37,001 BOE/day, roughly flat sequentially and up ~19% year-over-year. Management highlighted commodity sensitivity: using FY2025 volumes as a guide, every $10/barrel increase in oil realizations would approximate $50 million of annual revenue (oil realization averaged $65/barrel last year).
Growing Well Inventory and Longer Laterals
Net line-of-sight inventory totaled 20.7 wells (5.8 permitted, 9.6 DUCs, 5.2 completed-not-producing), representing a 6% sequential increase; on a net normalized basis accounting for longer lateral lengths, line-of-sight inventory was up 11% sequentially. New permits and spuds have average lateral lengths in excess of 13,000 feet.
Progress on NextGen: Land Sales and Commercial Deals
Executed a land sale for $43 million (structured as annual payments over 20 years) and entered a separate commercial agreement to supply water for the same development. Management reports accelerating commercial activity with hyperscalers and AI labs evaluating large-scale power and compute projects in Texas.
Produced Water Desalination Nearing Commercial Test
Phase 2B 10,000-barrel-per-day produced water desalination facility is nearly complete; refrigeration inspection planned with inlet water flow expected in the coming weeks. The test facility is intended to evaluate operational economics at commercial scale and assess colocation opportunities (waste heat capture, cooling).
Strong Balance Sheet and Unhedged Upside
Company maintained a strong net cash position through prior low-price periods and is currently fully unhedged, meaning management expects direct upside from elevated oil prices without hedging dilution.
