Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.037109 per unit, payable on April 14, 2015 to unitholders of record on March 31, 2015. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of December 2014 and natural gas production during November 2014.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $4.6 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.9 million from the prior month calculation. The decrease was due to a 22 percent decline in NYMEX oil prices, partially offset by increased sales volumes resulting from one more production day in December.

Natural gas receipts decreased $0.6 million from the prior month, totaling $1.1 million, primarily due to decreased sales volumes from one operator in the Elm Grove field of the East Texas/North Louisiana region and reduced sales price realizations. In January 2015, Enduro received notice from one of its operators that the operator intended to charge the working interest owners their proportionate share of unused firm capacity reservation fees since January 2012. The operator plans to recoup these fees in check remittances in 2015 and continue to charge the related monthly fees going forward. In January 2015, the operator withheld payment in partial settlement of approximately $400,000 in firm capacity reservation fees related to the Underlying Properties, and as a result, the current month distribution does not include any revenues or volumes from the associated wells, causing a decline from the prior month. In the prior month distribution, these wells averaged daily natural gas sales of approximately 3,250 Mcf/D. Enduro Resource Partners, the sponsor of the Trust, does not believe these fees are appropriate and is questioning the exact amount of the fees that will be withheld and whether such fees can be withheld from working interest owners and retroactively recouped.

The current distribution includes receipts from 19 of 20 Rocker B wells producing through December 2014. In total, the 19 Rocker B wells contributed $0.4 million in oil cash receipts for the current distribution period. Total average daily oil sales volumes for the current distribution period for the properties underlying the Trust were approximately 2,570 Bbls/D, of which 235 Bbls/D are attributable to the Rocker B wells.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled $0.7 million and relate to expenses incurred during January 2015.

Lost Tank Field Update

The Lost Tank 4 Federal 23 has been completed and is currently producing; however, at this time, the well has not been producing for a sufficient amount of time to provide a production rate.
