Insights

Kimbell Royalty Partners' Q1 2024 results show a steady uptick in production and revenues. With a 1.4% quarterly increase in production and a 4.2% rise in revenues compared to Q4 2023, these are solid indicators of operational efficiency and market positioning. A notable takeaway is the company's adjusted EBITDA growth of 7.4%, signaling strong earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization - a key metric for financial health. Furthermore, the conservative debt ratio (Net Debt to EBITDA at 1.0x) reflects prudent financial management, likely resonating positively with investors wary of over-leveraged companies. The strategic decision to allocate 25% of cash available for distribution towards debt repayment reinforces the company's commitment to a strong balance sheet. However, investors should note the decrease in net income for the quarter, which, despite higher revenues, suggests rising costs or other factors impacting profitability. The 12.5% annualized yield based on the May 1, 2024, common unit price also stands out, offering a compelling return in the current interest rate environment.

Kimbell's operational update points to a robust drilling activity, with a consistent rig count of 98 and a 16.3% market share of the US land rig count. This level of activity, along with the reported 8.20 net drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) and the 4.24 net permitted locations, implies a solid inventory for future production, which is important for sustaining long-term growth in the highly competitive energy sector. The diversified portfolio across several key basins, including the Permian and Eagle Ford, diversifies risk and sets a stage for resilience against localized commodity price fluctuations. Moreover, the hedging strategy indicated by the firm's fixed price swaps provides a layer of protection against volatile oil and natural gas prices, securing predictable cash flows. It's important for investors to consider the full picture of an oil and gas company's reserve replacement and operational capabilities, both of which seem robust for Kimbell.

____________________________

1 Based on Kimbell rig count of 98 and Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count of 601 as of March 31, 2024.

2 These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which generally have a net revenue interest of 0.1% or below and are time consuming to quantify but, in the estimation of Kimbell's management, could add an additional 15% to Kimbell's net inventory.

Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell's general partner (the "General Partner"), commented, "Operational momentum from 2023 continued into the first quarter of 2024 as the company achieved several new records in terms of daily production, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.  Q1 2024 reflected another quarter of organic run-rate production growth exceeding the mid-point of guidance and we exited the quarter with a near record number of rigs drilling on our acreage.  Furthermore, our line-of-site wells continue to be well above the number of wells needed to maintain flat production, giving us confidence in the resilience of our production as we progress through 2024. 

"Overall, we are very pleased with this quarter as well as the Q1 2024 distribution that we declared today of 49 cents per common unit, an increase of 14% from Q4 2023.  Furthermore, approximately 79% percent of this distribution is expected to be considered return of capital and not subject to dividend taxes, further enhancing the after-tax return to our common unitholders. 

"As we look forward in 2024 and beyond, we are confident about the U.S. oil and natural gas industry, our role as a leading consolidator in the sector and the prospects for Kimbell to generate long-term unitholder value."

First Quarter 2024 Distribution and Debt Repayment

Today, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board of Directors") approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the first quarter of 2024, or $0.49 per common unit.  The distribution will be payable on May 20, 2024 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2024.  Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the first quarter of 2024 to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility.  Since May 2020 (excluding the expected upcoming pay-down from the remaining 25% of Q1 2024 projected cash available for distribution), Kimbell has paid down approximately $149.8 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 approximately 79% of its first quarter 2024 distribution should not constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead are estimated to constitute non-taxable reductions to the basis of each distribution recipient's ownership interest in Kimbell common units.  The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders' capital gain (or decrease unitholders' capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units.  The Form 8937 containing additional information may be found at www.kimbellrp.com under "Investor Relations" section of the site.  Kimbell currently believes that the portion that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2024.  Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.

Financial Highlights

Kimbell's first quarter 2024 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $75.84, per Mcf of natural gas was $1.88, per Bbl of NGLs was $23.72 and per Boe combined was $33.90.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company's total revenues were $82.2 million, net income was approximately $9.3 million and net income attributable to common units was approximately $3.2 million, or $0.04 per common unit.  There was a non-cash ceiling test impairment expense of $6.0 million recorded during the quarter, primarily related to the decline in commodity prices.

Total first quarter 2024 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $74.1 million (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 first quarter of 2024, G&A expense was $9.4 million, $5.8 million of which was Cash G&A expense, or $2.57 per BOE (Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are non-GAAP financial measures.  Please see definition under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Supplemental Schedules included in this news release).  Unit-based compensation in the first quarter of 2024, which is a non-cash G&A expense, was $3.7 million or $1.64 per Boe.

As of March 31, 2024, Kimbell had approximately $285.4 million in debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility, had net debt to first quarter 2024 trailing twelve month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 1.0x and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its secured revolving credit facility.  Kimbell had approximately $264.6 million in undrawn capacity under its secured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, Kimbell had outstanding 74,646,476 common units and 20,847,295 Class B units.  As of May 2, 2024, Kimbell had outstanding 74,646,476 common units and 20,847,295 Class B units.

Production

First quarter 2024 average daily production was 27,454 Boe per day (6:1), which consisted of 2,776 Boe per day related to prior period production recognized in Q1 2024, and 24,678 Boe per day of run-rate production.  The 24,678 Boe per day of run-rate production was composed of approximately 50% from natural gas (6:1) and approximately 50% from liquids (32% from oil and 18% from NGLs).  The prior period production recognized in Q1 2024 was attributable to past production that came into pay status during the first quarter of 2024.

Operational Update

As of March 31, 2024, Kimbell's major properties had 756 gross (3.96 net) DUCs and 768 gross (4.24 net) permitted locations on its acreage.  In addition, as of March 31, 2024, Kimbell had 98 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, which represents an approximate 16.3% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time.

Supplemental Schedules

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA, Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are used as 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), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash unit based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and operational impacts of variable interest entities, which include general and administrative expense and interest income.  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, tax 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.
