Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.01398 per unit, payable on January 17, 2017 to unitholders of record on December 30, 2016. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of September 2016 and natural gas production during August 2016.

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

    Underlying Sales Volumes Average Price Oil   Natural Gas Oil   Natural Gas Bbls   Bbls/D Mcf   Mcf/D (per Bbl)   (per Mcf) Current Month 61,130 2,038 257,711   8,313 $ 41.10 $ 2.41 Prior Month 61,254 1,976 334,973 10,806 $ 41.85 $ 2.47  

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $2.5 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.1 million from the prior month calculation. The slight decrease was primarily due to a $0.75 per Bbl decrease in the realized wellhead price. Natural gas cash receipts decreased from $0.8 million in the prior distribution period to $0.6 million in the current month, primarily due to payment timing differences. One of the operators in the East Texas-North Louisiana area sold its properties, resulting in payment delays that impacted natural gas receipts by approximately $175,000. Natural gas sales volumes associated with this revenue were approximately 72,000 Mcf. Enduro Resource Partners, the sponsor of the Trust (“Enduro”), anticipates the revenue and volumes from this operator to be included in the February 2017 distribution. Average gas NYMEX pricing remained consistent for the respective periods, with August average gas prices at $2.72 per Mcf compared to $2.79 per Mcf in July.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, increased $0.3 million to $2.6 million as a result of higher than anticipated lease operating expenses in prior months. Actual capital expenditures incurred have continued to be less than projected, resulting in a capital adjustment during the current month calculation that increased net profits negligibly. Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during October 2016.

Enduro previously established a reserve for approved 2016 development expenses. As a result of lower than anticipated capital expenditures during the year, Enduro released the remaining $100,000 of the reserve in the current distribution period, thereby increasing the net profits attributable to the Trust. Enduro no longer maintains any reserve for development expenses.
