Chad L. Stephens, President and CEO, commented, "The operational and financial results for the second quarter again provide compelling evidence about the quality of our asset base. Royalty production reached record levels during the quarter, and we had a strong conversion of high interest high impact wells driving robust quarter-over-quarter production growth. As we have explained in prior quarters, our royalty volumes can be lumpy depending on the timing of these high interest high impact wells. Our wells in progress metric remains strong, including several other high interest high impact wells. This demonstrates the continued operator activity on our minerals, despite the dramatic year over year decrease in the rig count impacted by the current commodity price environment. We do not control pace of development or well completion timing, thus, we expect continued quarterly lumpiness in our volumes."

"Our strong cash generation enabled us to reduce our debt by another $2 million, lowering our debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio from 1.58x to 1.32x further strengthening our balance sheet," continued Mr. Stephens. "Our financial performance enabled us to again increase our quarterly cash dividend, which has now risen 400% since early 2020. Our financial strength also provides the necessary liquidity to further explore the acquisition of premium mineral assets."

Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 Results

The Company recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net loss of ($0.04) million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The change in net income was principally the result of increased natural gas, oil and NGL sales, decreased general and administrative expenses, and increased gains on asset sales, partially offset by increased losses associated with our derivative contracts and increased income tax provision.

Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue increased $2.6 million, or 36%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, due to increases in natural gas and oil volumes of 33% and 26%, respectively, and increases in natural gas, oil and NGL prices of 7%, 5%, and 25%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in NGL volumes of 6%.

The increase in royalty production volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulted primarily from new wells being brought online in the Haynesville Shale. The production decrease in working interest volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulted from natural production decline.

The Company had a net loss on derivative contracts of ($0.4) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, comprised of a $1.2 million gain on settled derivatives and a ($1.6) million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company's settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in June 30, 2024, pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024, Results

The Company recorded net income of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to a net income of $9.5 million, or $0.26 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in net income was principally the result of a decrease in natural gas, oil and NGL sales, a decrease in gains associated with our hedge contracts, and a decrease in gains on asset sales, partially offset by a decrease in income tax provision.

Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to decreases in oil and NGL volumes of 6% and 4%, respectively, and a decrease in gas prices of 25%, partially offset by an increase in gas volumes of 9% and increases in oil and NGL prices of 2% and 3%, respectively.

The production increase in royalty volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulted primarily from new wells in the Haynesville Shale coming online. The production decrease in working interest volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulted from natural production decline and divestitures of working interest properties.

The Company had a net gain on derivative contracts of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compromised of a $2.9 million gain on settled derivatives and a $2.6 million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company's settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in June 30, 2024 pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts.

Operations Update

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company converted 55 gross (0.40 net) wells to producing status, including 28 gross (0.30 net) wells in the Haynesville and 14 gross (0.07 net) wells in the SCOOP, compared to 81 gross (0.30 net) wells converted in the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

This press release includes certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in the Company's financial statements. These measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes thereto), included in the Company's SEC filings and posted on its website.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation 

The Company defines "adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, excluding non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives and gains (losses) on asset sales and including cash receipts from (payments on) off-market derivatives and restricted stock and deferred directors' expense. The Company has included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA because it recognizes that certain investors consider this amount to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and evaluating its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters indicated:

Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) Reconciliation 

"Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM)" is defined as the ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing 12-month (TTM) basis. The Company has included a presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) because it recognizes that certain investors consider such ratios to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and for evaluating its financial performance. The debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on a TTM basis and of the resulting debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio:
