Funds from Operations and Revenue Growth
Funds from operations (FFO) of $94.9 million, an 11% increase versus Q1 2025, or $0.41 per share. Royalty revenue of $118.5 million and other revenue of $15.3 million for the quarter.
Production Growth Across Portfolio
Total production grew 4% year‑over‑year; oil royalty volumes increased 2% YoY; NGL production grew 6% YoY. Condensate and pentane remain at record highs, making up ~35% of the NGL stream.
Duvernay and Clearwater Outperformance
Record Duvernay activity with 26 wells spud (20 in West Shale Basin). Duvernay oil royalty volumes rose ~75% YoY and are expected to be the fastest-growing play in 2026. Clearwater oil production increased ~20% YoY and is positioned for sustained growth.
Leasing Activity and Bonus Consideration Surge
48 new leasing arrangements with 37 distinct oil & gas companies; lease bonus consideration of $12.3 million — more than double Q1 last year — viewed as a leading indicator of future development. Multilateral spuds increased to 66 in Q1 2026 from 41 in Q1 2025 (≈+61%).
Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns
Declared dividends of $61.6 million in the quarter (payout ratio 65%), announced Q2 dividend of $0.265/share. Returned capital and uses of excess cash included $8.3 million in NCIB share repurchases (269,000 shares cancelled), $4.2 million of acquisitions, and $6 million of debt reduction.
Operational Activity and Reserve Optionality
201 spuds on PrairieSky lands versus 200 in the prior year despite a lower rig count. Management estimates current development inventory can replace ~9.5 million barrels of royalty production for 61 years; many recent leases are for exploration, indicating optionality for future discoveries.
Thermal and Other Play Development
Thermal volumes positioned for near-term growth with an 8-well pair pad at Lindbergh currently steaming and expected to ramp toward a PrairieSky peak of ~260 bbl/d. Mannville Stack oil estimated at >1,000 bbl/d in Q1 driven by winter drilling.
