Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.017331 per unit, payable on March 14, 2017 to unitholders of record on February 28, 2017. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of November 2016 and natural gas production during October 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 60,632 2,021 471,853 15,221 $ 42.85 $ 2.61 Prior Month 63,737 2,056 261,379 8,713 $ 45.04 $ 2.63  

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $2.6 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.3 million from the prior month calculation. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.19 per Bbl decrease in the realized wellhead price. The volume decrease is primarily due to one less day of production in November compared to October. Natural gas cash receipts increased from $0.7 million in the prior distribution period to $1.2 million in the current month as a result of payment timing differences. As previously disclosed, one of the operators in the East Texas-North Louisiana area sold its properties, resulting in payment delays that negatively impacted the prior two months’ distribution periods. Natural gas receipts in the current distribution period included 3 months of gas receipts from this operator, totaling approximately $0.5 million in receipts for 210,000 Mcf.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, increased $0.9 million to $2.9 million, primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in lease operating expenses. The largest increase in lease operating expenses was a $0.3 million adjustment from an operator related to two years of allocated expenses that had not been previously billed. In addition, lease operating expenses in the prior distribution period were lower than normal. Capital expenditures were $0.2 million during the current month. Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during December 2016.
