/PRNewswire/ —

Simmons Bank

, as Trustee of the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) (“Permian”) today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of

$0.195923

per unit, payable on

September 15, 2022

, to unit holders of record on

August 31, 2022

.

This month’s distribution increased from the previous month as the result of primarily an increase in the pricing received for both oil and gas for the month of June from the Waddell Ranch properties but offset by slightly lower pricing for the Texas Royalty Properties during the month of June.

WADDELL RANCH

In reporting June production of the Underlying Properties for this month’s press release, production for oil volumes was 183,925 (gross) and was priced at about

$114.41

per bbl. Production for gas volumes (including gas liquids) was 598,906 Mcf (gross) and was priced at about

$11.43

per Mcf, which now includes the value received from plant products and natural gas liquids. Net revenue for the underlying properties of the Waddell ranch was

$26,461,904

(gross) for June. Lease Operating Expenses were

$3,607,857

(gross) and Capital Expenditures were

$13,192,559

(gross) for June, netting to the Net Profit Interest (NPI) of

$9,661,488

. This would put the Trust’s proceeds of 75% as a positive

$7,246,116

(net) for the month of June, to contribute to this month’s distribution. Given that if current oil and gas pricing continues, Waddell Ranch could continue to contribute to the distribution in the foreseeable future.

First sales received for the month of

June 2022

wells were as follows: (all net to the Trust), 4.5 new drill wells, including 1.1 horizontal wells, 3.0 recompleted wells. Waiting on completion, as of 6/30/2022, were 4.9 drill wells, including 0.4 horizontal wells and 3.0 recompletion wells. Also, 0.4 wells, plugged and abandoned, were completed.

Blackbeard has advised the Trustee of the projected 2022 capital expenditure budget for the Waddell Ranch Properties to be an estimated

$92 million

(net to the Trust) with a projection of about 47 new drill wells and 45 recompletions along with about 19 plug and abandoned wells. Of the new drill wells, about 13 will be horizontal drills and about 34 vertical drill wells.

TEXAS

ROYALTY PROPERTIES

Production for the underlying properties at the Texas Royalties was 19,623 barrels of oil and 15,306 Mcf of gas. The production for the Trust’s allocated portion of the Texas Royalties was 17,933 barrels of oil and 13,983 Mcf of gas. The average price for oil was

$104.65

per bbl and for gas was

$8.91

per Mcf. This would primarily reflect production and pricing for the month of June for oil and the month of May for gas. These allocated volumes were impacted by the pricing of both oil and gas. This production and pricing for the underlying properties resulted in revenues for the Texas Royalties of

$2,189,961

. Deducted from these were taxes of

$167,326

resulting in a Net Profit of

$2,022,636

for the month of June. With the Trust’s Net Profit Interest (NPI) of 95% of the Underlying Properties, this would result in net contribution by the Texas Royalties of

$1,921,504

to this month’s distribution.
