Q4 2026 earnings summary
9 Oct, 2026Executive summary
FY26 distributable income was $659,781 ($0.33/unit), down from $727,995 ($0.36/unit) in FY25; royalty income declined as oil and NGL prices and gas/NGL production weakened.
Royalties arise from a depleting 0.75% overriding interest in existing Gulf of America leases; no new interests may be acquired or production activity controlled.
Financial highlights
Total income was $985,720 in FY26 vs. $1,043,830 in FY25; royalty income was $966,849 vs. $1,011,104, and interest and other income was $18,871 vs. $32,726.
General and administrative expense rose to $325,939 from $315,835, primarily due to higher professional services expense.
Distributions totaled $630,634 in FY26 vs. $771,688 in FY25; per-unit distributions were $0.32 vs. $0.39.
Cash and cash equivalents were $950,667 at June 30, 2026, compared with $921,520 a year earlier; total assets were $950,674.
Outlook and guidance
A $0.10/unit distribution was declared August 21, 2026, payable September 28 to unitholders of record August 31; the September payment was stated to match the June distribution.
Operators had designated three locations for potential drilling, workovers, recompletions, sidetracks or other operations as of June 30, 2026; execution and success are uncertain.
