FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell" or the "Company"), a leading owner of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests in more than 97,000 gross wells across 28 states, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. 

Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights

• Q4 2020 daily production of 14,062 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day (6:1)
• Q4 2020 production was composed of approximately 59% from natural gas and approximately 41% from liquids (27% from oil and 14% from natural gas liquids ("NGL")) (6:1)
• Q4 2020 oil, natural gas and NGL revenues of $25.9 million, an increase of 6% from Q3 2020, reflecting improved realized commodity prices; full year 2020 oil, natural gas and NGL revenues of $92.6 million
• Q4 2020 net loss of $93.8 million and net loss attributable to common units of $62.2 million, compared to Q4 2019 net loss of $103.6 million and net loss attributable to common units of $51.3 million.  The Q4 2020 net loss amount included a non-cash impairment expense of $92.9 million
• Q4 2020 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (a "Non-GAAP" financial measure as defined and reconciled below) of $17.9 million, sequentially up 4% from Q3 2020
• As of December 31, 2020, Kimbell had 39 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, which represented a 30% increase as compared to 30 rigs actively drilling on its acreage as of September 30, 2020, led by increased drilling activity in the Permian Basin.  Kimbell's 39 active drilling rig count at year-end 2020 represented 11.7%¹ market share of all rigs drilling in the lower 48 or the continental United States
• As of December 31, 2020, Kimbell's major properties had 697 gross (2.38 net) drilled but uncompleted wells ("DUCs") and 594 gross (1.94 net) permitted locations on its acreage
• On December 8, 2020, Kimbell amended and extended its secured revolving credit facility through June 7, 2024 and increased total commitments from $225.0 million to $265.0 million, an increase of 18%.  On January 27, 2021, Kimbell entered into an interest rate swap with Citibank, N.A. ("Citi") and converted approximately 87% of outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility to a three-year fixed rate of approximately 3.9%
• Q4 2020 cash distribution of $0.19 per common unit reflecting a payout ratio of 75% of cash available for distribution; implies a 7.4% annualized yield based on the February 24, 2021 closing price of $10.21 per common unit; Kimbell intends to utilize the remaining 25% of its cash available for distribution to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under Kimbell's secured revolving credit facility

¹ Based on the Kimbell rig count of 39 and the Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count of 332 as of December 31, 2020.

Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "Although 2020 was an extremely challenging year for everyone, I am very pleased with our strong operational execution.  Throughout the year, we continued to pay an attractive, tax-efficient quarterly cash distribution while at the same time allocating a portion of our cash flow to prudently pay down more than $21 million of outstanding borrowings on our secured revolving credit facility.  In addition, we closed the acquisition of Springbok Energy Partners, LLC and Springbok Energy Partners II, LLC and grew our total production by approximately 16% in 2020, as compared to 2019.   We also replaced 104% of our proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves, reduced cash general and administrative costs per Boe (a "Non-GAAP" financial measure as defined below) by approximately 5% in 2020, as compared to 2019, completed an oversubscribed equity offering, redeemed 50% of our outstanding Series A preferred units and amended and extended our secured revolving credit facility through June 2024.  It was a very productive year for Kimbell. 

"With the ongoing recovery of the U.S. oil and natural gas sector in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began to see a recovery in drilling activity on our acreage, as evidenced by the 30% increase in our rig count at the end of Q4 2020, as compared to Q3 2020, led by increased activity in the Permian Basin.  As 2021 progresses, we are hopeful that we will continue to see a gradual improvement in drilling activity given the further increase in the lower 48 rig count during February 2021 as compared to year-end 2020.  In addition, because approximately 2% of our acreage is federal land with active fracking, we expect no material impact from any potential suspension of permitting or fracking on federal lands in the U.S. under the new Presidential administration.  In fact, we believe this could have the unintended consequence of driving up oil and natural gas prices."

Ravnaas continued, "We are providing full-year 2021 guidance, which includes production guidance that, at its midpoint, reflects roughly flat daily production relative to our Q4 2020 daily production.  We believe that most operators will focus their 2021 budgets on arresting declines, with a goal of flat to low single digit production growth in 2021.

"Finally, we remain focused on our role as a major consolidator in the highly fragmented U.S. oil and natural gas royalty sector, as well as assembling a high-quality, low-PDP decline and diversified royalty portfolio that generates significant cash flow with organic and acquisitive growth potential with no fixed capital requirements.  We are excited about the opportunities to further expand in the future."

Fourth Quarter 2020 Distribution and Debt Repayment

On January 22, 2021, the Board of Directors of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell's general partner (the "Board of Directors"), approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the fourth quarter of 2020, or $0.19 per common unit.  The distribution was payable on February 8, 2021 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on February 1, 2021.  Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the fourth quarter of 2020 to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility. In 2020, Kimbell paid down $21.2 million of outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility by allocating a portion of its cash available for distribution for debt pay down.

Kimbell expects that substantially all of its fourth quarter distribution will not constitute taxable dividend income and instead will generally result in a non-taxable reduction to the tax basis of unitholders' common units.  The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders' capital gain (or decrease unitholders' capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units.  Furthermore, Kimbell expects that substantially all distributions paid to common unitholders from 2021 through 2023 will not be taxable dividend income and less than 25% of distributions paid to common unitholders for the subsequent two years (2024 to 2025) will be taxable dividend income. 

Financial Highlights

Kimbell's fourth quarter 2020 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $39.72, per Mcf of natural gas was $2.04, per Bbl of NGLs was $14.98 and per Boe combined was $20.02. 

Total fourth quarter 2020 revenues were $23.3 million, compared to $25.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Fourth quarter 2020 net loss was $93.8 million and net loss attributable to common units was $62.2 million, or $1.66 per common unit, compared to net loss of $103.6 million and net loss attributable to common units of $51.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.  The net loss during the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a $92.9 million non-cash impairment expense recorded during the quarter as a result of a full-cost ceiling test, which was primarily due to a decline in the 12-month average price of oil and natural gas.  This non-cash impairment expense is not expected to impact the cash flow available for distribution generated by Kimbell or its liquidity or ability to make acquisitions in the future.

Total fourth quarter 2020 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $17.9 million, compared to $20.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 (consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Please see a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures at the end of this news release). 

In the fourth quarter of 2020, G&A expense was $6.4 million, $4.2 million of which was Cash G&A expense, or $3.26 per Boe (Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are non-GAAP financial measures.  Please see definition under Non-GAAP Financial Measures at end of this news release).  Unit-based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2020, which is a non-cash G&A expense, was $2.2 million or $1.68 per Boe. 

Despite further stabilization in the oil and natural gas markets and improved differentials and commodity prices, Kimbell believes that the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and potential supply/demand imbalances in the oil and natural gas markets could continue to have an adverse effect on Kimbell's business, production, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations in the first half of 2021.

Kimbell had outstanding 38,918,689 common units and 20,779,781 Class B units as of December 31, 2020 and February 25, 2021.

Production

Fourth quarter 2020 average daily production was 14,062 Boe per day (6:1), composed of approximately 59% from natural gas (6:1) and approximately 41% from liquids (27% from oil and 14% from NGLs).

Operational Update

As of December 31, 2020, Kimbell's major properties had 697 gross (2.38 net) DUCs and 594 gross (1.94 net) permitted locations on its acreage.  As of December 31, 2020, Kimbell had 39 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, which represents an approximate 11.7% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time.  Rig count has further increased into 2021 at the time of this release.

Basin	Gross DUCs as of December 31, 2020(1)	Gross Permits as of December 31, 2020(1)	Net DUCs as of December 31, 2020(1)	Net Permits as of December 31, 2020(1)

(1)  These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which are time consuming to quantify but, in the experience of Kimbell's management, can be significant in the aggregate.

Reserves

Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared an estimate of Kimbell's proved reserves as of December 31, 2020.   Average prices of $39.57 per barrel of oil and $1.99 per MMBtu of natural gas were used in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Realized prices with applicable differentials were $37.12 per barrel of oil, $1.34 per Mcf of natural gas and $9.06 per barrel of NGLs.

Proved developed reserves at year-end 2020 increased by approximately 4% year-over-year to over 42 MMBoe, reflecting the acquisitions Kimbell made during the year along with continued development by the operators of Kimbell's acreage.

		Crude Oil and Condensate (MBbls)		Natural Gas (MMcf)		Natural Gas Liquids(MBbls)		Total (MBOE)

Liquidity

On December 8, 2020, Kimbell amended its existing credit agreement to, among other things, change the administrative agent to Citi, increase the aggregate commitments from $225 million to $265 million on the secured revolving credit facility, set the borrowing base at $265 million and extend the maturity to June 7, 2024.  Based on the current utilization percentage, the interest rate is 350 basis points plus a LIBOR floor of 25 basis points, or 3.75%.   

As of December 31, 2020, Kimbell had approximately $171.6 million in debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility, had net debt to fourth quarter 2020 trailing twelve month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 2.3x and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its secured revolving credit facility.   Kimbell had approximately $93.4 million in undrawn capacity under its secured revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2020.

On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with Citi, which fixed the interest rate on $150 million of notional, or approximately 87% of Kimbell's outstanding balance on its secured revolving credit facility, at approximately 3.9% for three years.

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash G&A are used as a 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) before interest expense, non-cash unit-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments, equity income from affiliates, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, income taxes and depreciation and depletion expense, and adjusted for distributions from equity investments.  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 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.
