Earnings Call to be Held Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 9:30 am CT

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE:TPL) (the "Company," "TPL," "we," "our" or "us"), one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with surface and royalty ownership that provide revenue opportunities through the support of energy production, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Oil and gas royalty production of 31.1 thousand barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day, a Company record
• As of March 31, 2025, TPL's royalty acreage had an estimated 5.9 net well permits, 12.9 net drilled but uncompleted wells ("DUCs"), and 5.4 net completed but not producing wells ("CUPs"). Net well permits, DUCs, and CUPs total 24.3 net wells⁽¹⁾, which represents a Company record. TPL had 90.2 net producing wells, and net producing wells added during the quarter had an average lateral length of approximately 8,988 feet.
• Water Services and Operations segment revenues of $69.4 million, a Company record
• Consolidated net income of $120.7 million, or $5.24 per share (diluted)
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $169.4 million
• Free cash flow⁽²⁾ of $126.6 million
• Quarterly cash dividend of $1.60 per share was paid on March 17, 2025

"Results for the first quarter of 2025 represented an excellent start to the year as the Company set quarterly records for oil and gas royalty production and Water Services and Operations segment revenue," said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "TPL's resilient business model, high-margin cash flows, and fortress balance sheet enhances the Company's ability to weather a potential industry downcycle. Near-term activity levels remain strong around our footprint, but should economic volatility persist, our business retains numerous naturally embedded hedges to mitigate the potential direct impact of lower oil prices. In addition, TPL's exceptional financial profile and strong liquidity with ample cash and no debt also allows us to be opportunistic during periods of uncertainty."

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025 - Sequential

The Company reported net income of $120.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $118.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $196.0 million compared to $185.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to a $14.3 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue and a $2.1 million increase in water sales compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company's share of production was 31.1 thousand Boe per day for the first quarter of 2025 versus 29.1 thousand Boe per day for the fourth quarter of 2024, and the average realized price was $41.58 per Boe in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $37.93 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. TPL's revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by its customers.

Total operating expenses were $45.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $43.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in operating expenses was principally related to a $1.8 million increase in water service-related expenses during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $196.0 million compared to $174.1 million for the first quarter of 2024.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this news release are, and certain statements made on the related conference call may be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on TPL's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, TPL, and therefore involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Generally, future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may" and the words "believe," "anticipate," "continue," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions or the negative of such terms identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references to strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, assumptions, future operations and prospects; statements regarding the anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions; and other statements that are not historical facts. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although TPL believes that plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements made herein are reasonable, TPL may be unable to achieve such plans, intentions or expectations and actual results, and performance or achievements may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the initiation or outcome of potential litigation; any changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions; and the other risks discussed in TPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You can access TPL's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and TPL strongly encourages you to do so.

Except as required by applicable law, TPL undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other statements herein for revisions or changes after this communication is made.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. These measures are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measures presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measures, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. The purpose of presenting EBITDA is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation and less pension curtailment and settlement gain. The pension curtailment and settlement gain is related to a buyout by a third party of defined benefit obligations under our pension plan and the subsequent freezing of our pension plan, both of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024. We have excluded the pension curtailment and settlement gain from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as such gain is a non-recurring item and is not related to our core business. The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. We calculate free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense and capital expenditures. The purpose of presenting free cash flow is to provide an additional measure of operating performance. We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company's operating performance. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 (in thousands):
