PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES AMENDED MARCH CASH DISTRIBUTION RELEASE
DALLAS, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:PBT) ("Permian" or the "Trust") today announced corrections to its press release from earlier today that declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.041340 per unit, payable on April 12, 2024, to unit holders of record on March 28, 2024. The per unit distribution amount was not changed due to the reporting errors listed below.
The original release contained two errors that the Trustee would like to correct. Those items are outlined as follows.
This month's distribution was a decrease from the previous month as opposed to the stated increase. The cash distribution in February was $0.045460 compared to the previously reported $.041340, a decrease of $0.00412 per unit. This was due to a decrease in the production of gas and an increase in capital costs, offset by an increase in production of oil and increases in the pricing of both oil and gas on the Waddell Ranch Properties. There was a decrease in oil volumes produced on the Texas Royalty Properties, along with a decrease in the price of oil. The gas pricing for the Texas Royalty Properties increased, partially offset by a decrease in gas volume for the month.
A correction is being made to the reporting of the gas volume amount for the Waddell Ranch properties. Plant product volumes have not previously been added to the gas volume number. This is being corrected for this month and the prior month's reported volumes in the tables below. In addition, the gas price reported last month for the Waddell Ranch is also updated below to reflect the new calculation, which is a standard calculation, used for this month's reporting.
