Investor presentation summary
6 Nov, 2026Management philosophy and portfolio
Long-term intrinsic value per unit guides decisions; executives and directors own 25% of outstanding units.
Portfolio includes ~13 million acres of mineral interests and other rights, including ~3.5 million acres of underground CO₂ sequestration pore space.
~90% of mineral interests do not currently produce income; passive assets are leased to operators for royalties and fees.
A 49% equity interest in Sisecam Wyoming provides exposure to natural soda ash used in glass, solar panels, batteries and other products.
Cash flow and capital allocation
Free cash flow is the primary performance measure; LTM FCF was $166 million through September 30, 2026, excluding a $39 million soda ash investment.
Since 2015, cost cuts, asset sales and use of internally generated cash flow retired nearly $1.5 billion of debt, preferred equity and warrants.
LTM interest expense was more than $90 million below the level ten years earlier; preferred equity redemption saved an additional $30 million annually.
Post-debt-retirement priorities are unitholder distributions, unit repurchases at material discounts to intrinsic value, then opportunistic acquisitions and investments.
Distribution and debt
Repaid the remaining $13 million credit-facility balance in Q3 2026; $14 million of debt remained at September 30, scheduled for repayment at December maturity.
Q3 2026 FCF of $44.779 million, less $13.084 million for debt repayment, left $31.700 million available for common unitholder and GP distributions, or $2.34 per unit.
