Noble Capital Markets Virtual Equity Investor Conference summary
5 Oct, 2026Dividend-led strategy and portfolio
Dividend-first capital model; $151.7M returned over 11+ years, equivalent to $4.77/share.
Non-operator model spans working interests and mineral/royalty interests; lean 10-person team and scalable G&A support a diversified, lower-risk approach.
Portfolio spans the Bakken/Williston, Barnett, SCOOP/STACK, New Mexico Permian, Haynesville and Midland Basin, diversifying by geography and commodity.
Production and reserves are each ~55% gas, with the balance oil and liquids; no single asset dominates reserves.
Mineral/royalty cash flow was ~10% at FY2026 year-end and ~20% pro forma for the Midland deal; management expects the share to grow and lift EBITDA margins.
Capital allocation and acquisition approach
Strategy prioritizes shareholder returns through asset growth, dividends, opportunistic buybacks and balance-sheet strength.
Organic growth includes operator-funded royalty development, evaluated SCOOP/STACK AFEs and Chaveroo development with PEDEVCO.
Acquisitions prioritize cash-flow accretion, long-life producing assets, development upside, portfolio diversification, market access and regulatory conditions.
Acquisitions completed before the Midland royalties generated 1.3x invested cash flow and a 93% IRR.
Management will pursue whichever working-interest or mineral deal is most accretive per share; current mineral deal momentum and completions support expected growth in royalty cash flow.
Midland Basin mineral acquisition
Acquired ~3,400 net royalty acres in the core Midland Basin for $16M; entry into the Permian and expansion of the royalty portfolio.
The position includes 830 producing wells and 1,200+ undeveloped locations; ~9 rigs were active across the acreage at the conference.
Operators include ExxonMobil, Diamondback and Crescent; completions averaged 241/year in 2021–2025.
Assuming 125 wells/year, management expects production to be sustained and to grow up to 2x over the coming years.
Purchase price was ~$4,700 per royalty acre; a negotiated deal required ~5 months of land and title work and was valued comparably to working interests.
