Insights

Kimbell Royalty Partners delivered record Q4 and full-year 2024 results, highlighted by production exceeding 25,000 Boe/d for the first time in company history. This milestone reflects both organic growth and the successful integration of their strategic $230.4 million Midland Basin acquisition, which closed in January 2025 but had an October 2024 effective date.

While the company reported a Q4 net loss of $39.3 million, this was primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge of $56.2 million triggered by lower commodity prices. The underlying operational performance remains robust, with Q4 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $59.8 million and a conservative balance sheet showing Net Debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA of just 0.8x.

KRP's business model demonstrates exceptional capital efficiency with a superior five-year PDP decline rate of just 14%, requiring only 6.5 net wells annually to maintain flat production. The company currently has visibility on 8.1 net wells (5.44 DUCs and 2.63 permits), providing a cushion for production growth. This capital-light model is further strengthened by KRP's impressive 16% market share of all U.S. land drilling rigs actively operating on their acreage.

The declared Q4 distribution of $0.40 per unit (implying a 10.2% annualized yield) maintains KRP's 75/25 split between distributions and debt reduction. Notably, approximately 100% of this distribution is expected to be treated as non-taxable return of capital rather than dividend income, creating significant tax advantages for unitholders.

KRP's 2025 guidance projects continued production growth with mid-point daily production of 25,500 Boe/d. Since its IPO, the company has grown production by an extraordinary 733%, positioning it as a major consolidator in the fragmented $700 billion U.S. royalty sector. With its diversified production mix (50% natural gas, 50% liquids) and multi-basin exposure across 28 states, KRP offers investors both high current yield and meaningful growth potential in the minerals space.

Initiates 2025 Operational Guidance with Record High Mid-Point Daily Production

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell" or the "Company"), a leading owner of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests in over 130,000 gross wells across 28 states, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

Q4 2024 run-rate daily production of 24,082 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day (6:1)
- Including a full Q4 2024 impact of production from the Company's $230.4 million acquisition from a private seller (the "Acquired Production"), which closed on January 17, 2025 with an effective date of October 1, 2024, run-rate production was 25,946 Boe per day (6:1)
Q4 2024 oil, natural gas and NGL revenues of $69.1 million²
Q4 2024 net loss of approximately $39.3 million and net loss attributable to common units of approximately $37.8 million primarily due to a non-cash ceiling test impairment expense of $56.2 million recorded during the quarter²
Q4 2024 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $59.8 million²
As of December 31, 2024, Kimbell's major properties³ had 7.21 net drilled but uncompleted wells ("DUCs") and net permitted locations on its acreage (4.80 net DUCs and 2.41 net permitted locations) compared to an estimated 5.8 net wells needed to maintain flat production
- As of December 31, 2024 and including the Acquired Production, Kimbell's major properties3 had 8.07 net DUCs and net permitted locations on its acreage (5.44 net DUCs and 2.63 net permitted locations) compared to an estimated 6.5 net wells needed to maintain flat production
As of December 31, 2024, Kimbell had 87 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, representing 15% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time
- As of December 31, 2024 and including the Acquired Production, Kimbell had 91 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, representing 16% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time
Announced a Q4 2024 cash distribution of $0.40 per common unit, reflecting a payout ratio of 75% of cash available for distribution; implies a 10.2% annualized yield based on the February 26, 2025 closing price of $15.62 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
Conservative Balance Sheet with Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Month Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of 0.8x
Initiated full year 2025 guidance with estimated daily production at its mid-point projected at 25,500 Boe/d for the year with a high end projection of 27,000 Boe/d and low end projection of 24,000 Boe/d

Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell's general partner (the "General Partner"), commented, "2024 was another outstanding year for Kimbell. We grew total production 23% compared to 2023, largely due to the contribution of our record $455 million acquisition that closed in Q3 2023, which continues to perform very well. In addition, we paid out $1.75 per common unit in tax-advantaged quarterly distributions during 2024 and paid down approximately $56.0 million on our credit facility by allocating 25% of cash available for distribution for debt-paydown.

"More recently, we closed an acquisition from a private seller on certain mineral and royalty interests in properties located under the historic Mabee Ranch in the Midland Basin, further bolstering the Permian Basin as our leading basin in terms of production, active rig count, DUCs, permits and undrilled inventory. Including a full quarter effect from this acquisition in Q4 2024 given its effective date of October 1, 2024, production exceeded 25,000 Boe/d for the first time in Kimbell's history. The acquisition was financed partially from a successful primary equity offering, which was oversubscribed and further broadened Kimbell's institutional ownership and daily trading liquidity. Including the effect of the acquisition, today we are initiating 2025 operational guidance with expected record high mid-point daily production as compared to 2024 operational guidance.

"Reflecting on our growth since our IPO, we have now grown production from 3,116 Boe/d to 25,946 Boe/d, an increase of 733%. As evidenced by our track record of ongoing acquisition activity, we expect to continue our role as a major consolidator in the highly fragmented U.S. oil and natural gas royalty sector, which we estimate to be over $700 billion in size. And, as I have stated in the past, there are only a handful of public entities in the U.S. and Canada that have the financial resources, infrastructure, network and technical expertise to complete large-scale, multi-basin acquisitions. We believe that we are still in the early stages of this consolidation and will actively seek out targets that fit within our acquisition profile. We are very excited about the opportunities to expand in the future and to deliver unitholder value for years to come."

Fourth 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 fourth quarter of 2024, or $0.40 per common unit. The distribution will be payable on March 25, 2025 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2025. Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the fourth 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 Q4 2024 projected cash available for distribution), Kimbell has paid down approximately $192.0 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 100% of its fourth 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 constitutes 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 2025. Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.

Financial Highlights

Kimbell's fourth quarter 2024 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $69.35, per Mcf of natural gas was $1.88, per Bbl of NGLs was $21.47 and per Boe combined was $31.04.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company's total revenues were $66.7 million, net loss was approximately $39.3 million and net loss attributable to common units was approximately $37.8 million, or $0.48 per common unit. There was a non-cash ceiling test impairment expense of $56.2 million recorded during the quarter, primarily related to the decline in commodity prices.

Total fourth quarter 2024 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $59.8 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 fourth quarter of 2024, G&A expense was $9.4 million, $5.6 million of which was Cash G&A expense, or $2.53 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 fourth quarter of 2024, which is a non-cash G&A expense, was $3.8 million or $1.70 per Boe.

As of December 31, 2024, Kimbell had approximately $239.2 million in debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility, had net debt to fourth quarter 2024 trailing twelve month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 0.8x and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its secured revolving credit facility. Kimbell had approximately $310.8 million in undrawn capacity under its secured revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, Kimbell had outstanding 80,969,651 common units and 14,524,120 Class B units. As of February 27, 2025, Kimbell had outstanding 93,715,842 common units and 14,491,540 Class B units.

Production

Fourth quarter 2024 run-rate average daily production was 24,082 Boe per day (6:1), which was composed of approximately 50% from natural gas (6:1) and approximately 50% from liquids (31% from oil and 19% from NGLs). Including a full Q4 2024 impact of the Acquired Production, the revenues from which will be received by the Company, run-rate production was 25,946 Boe per day (6:1).

Operational Update

As of December 31, 2024, Kimbell's major properties had 822 gross (4.80 net) DUCs and 561 gross (2.41 net) permitted locations on its acreage. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, Kimbell had 87 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, which represents an approximate 15.2% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time.

Basin	Gross DUCs as of December 31, 2024⁽¹⁾	Gross Permits as of December 31, 2024⁽¹⁾	Net DUCs as of December 31, 2024⁽¹⁾	Net Permits as of December 31, 2024⁽¹⁾
Permian	465	384	2.13	1.53
Eagle Ford	73	37	0.52	0.21

Appalachia	3	3	0.02	0.01
Rockies	12	1	0.10	0.01
Total	822	561	4.80	2.41


⁽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 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.

Reserves

Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared an estimate of Kimbell's proved reserves as of December 31, 2024. Average prices of $75.48 per barrel of oil and $2.13 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 $73.84 per barrel of oil, $1.57 per Mcf of natural gas and $18.07 per barrel of NGLs.

Proved developed reserves at year-end 2024 increased by approximately 3% year-over-year to over 67 MMBoe, reflecting continued development by the operators of Kimbell's acreage.

Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP
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, cash distribution from affiliate, equity income (loss) in affiliate, gains and losses on sales of assets 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.

¹ Based on Kimbell rig count of 91, which includes the Q1 2025 acquired production, and Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count of 573 as of December 31, 2024.
² Excludes impact from Acquired Production. Revenues and other financial results from the Acquired Production will be reflected in Kimbell's condensed consolidated financial statements from January 17, 2025 closing date onward.
³ 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.
