Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell’s general partner (the “General Partner”), commented, “We are beginning 2025 with several new milestones for Kimbell, which include records for oil, natural gas and NGL revenues, consolidated adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution for Q1 2025.  Other 2025 milestones so far include completing a highly attractive and accretive acquisition in the core of the Permian Basin on January 17, 2025, increasing the Company's borrowing base and elected commitments on the credit facility from $550 million to $625 million on May 1, 2025 and redeeming 50% of the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units on May 7, 2025, further simplifying our capital structure and reducing our cost of capital.  Even with the uncertainty occurring across the broader geopolitical landscape, activity on our acreage remains robust with 90 rigs actively drilling on our acreage as of March 31, 2025, representing 16% market share of all land rigs drilling in the lower 48.

“We are pleased to declare the Q1 2025 distribution of 47 cents per common unit, an increase of 17.5% from Q4 2024 and reflecting a 15.8% annualized tax advantaged yield based on Kimbell’s closing price on May 7, 2025. We estimate that approximately 70% of this distribution is expected to be considered return of capital and not subject to dividend taxes, further enhancing the after-tax return to our common unitholders.”

“As we look forward in 2025 and beyond, we remain bullish about the U.S. oil and natural gas royalty industry, our role as a leading consolidator in the sector and the prospects for Kimbell to generate long-term unitholder value."

³ These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which generally have a net revenue interest of 0.1% or below and are time consuming to quantify but, in the estimation of Kimbell's management, could add an additional 15% to Kimbell’s net inventory.

First Quarter 2025 Distribution and Debt Repayment

Today, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board of Directors”) approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the first quarter of 2025, or $0.47 per common unit. The distribution will be payable on May 28, 2025 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2025. Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the first quarter of 2025 to pay down approximately $16.9 million of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility.

Kimbell expects that approximately 70% of its first quarter 2025 distribution should not constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead are estimated to constitute non-taxable reductions to the basis of each distribution recipient’s ownership interest in Kimbell common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders’ capital gain (or decrease unitholders’ capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. The Form 8937 containing additional information may be found at www.kimbellrp.com under “Investor Relations” section of the site. Kimbell currently believes that the portion that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2025. Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.

Financial Highlights

Kimbell’s first quarter 2025 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $70.34, per Mcf of natural gas was $3.68, per Bbl of NGLs was $26.02 and per Boe combined was $38.61.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s total revenues were $84.2 million, net income was approximately $25.9 million and net income attributable to common units was approximately $17.9 million, or $0.20 per common unit.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA, Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures by management and external users of Kimbell’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.  Kimbell believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate Kimbell’s operating performance and compare the results of Kimbell’s operations period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.  In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay distributions to Kimbell’s unitholders.  Kimbell defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash unit-based compensation and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments.  Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP.  Kimbell excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within Kimbell’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.  Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.  Kimbell’s computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  Kimbell expects that cash available for distribution for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

Kimbell believes Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are useful metrics because they isolate cash costs within overall G&A expense and measure cash costs relative to overall production, which is a widely utilized metric to evaluate operational performance within the energy sector. Cash G&A is defined as general and administrative expenses less unit-based compensation expense. Cash G&A per Boe is defined as Cash G&A divided by total production for a period. Cash G&A should not be considered an alternative to G&A expense presented in accordance with GAAP. Kimbell’s computations of Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
