Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution
May 18 2018 - 9:15AM
Business Wire
Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced
a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial
interest of $0.034256 per unit, payable on June 14, 2018 to
unitholders of record on May 31, 2018. The distribution primarily
represents oil production during the month of February 2018 and
natural gas production during January 2018.
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 52,534 1,876 359,703
11,603 $ 60.77 $ 2.92 Prior Month 59,699 1,926
397,208
12,813 $ 60.77 $ 2.87
Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust
totaled $3.2 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.4
million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a
reduction in sales volumes compared to the prior month. The
reduction in sales volumes was primarily attributable to three
fewer days of production in February compared to January.
Natural gas cash receipts decreased slightly from $1.1 million
in the prior distribution period to $1.0 million in the current
month due to a decrease in natural gas volumes, driven by payment
timing differences, partially offset by an increase in the realized
natural gas price.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating
expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and
transportation expenses, were $2.6 million, an increase of $0.3
million from the prior month. The increase in direct operating
expenses is primarily due to lower than normal lease operating
expenses in the prior distribution period. Capital expenditures
were $0.1 million in the current month.
Also included in the current month distribution is a reduction
of approximately $53,000 from the net profits attributable to the
underlying properties due to the inclusion in prior period
distribution calculations of certain expenses and revenue that
related to properties sold as part of the divestitures completed in
September 2017. As a result of the sale of these properties, the
net amounts previously paid to the Trust have been adjusted in the
current distribution period.
Bankruptcy of Enduro Resource Partners
Enduro Resource Partners, the sponsor of the Trust, has informed
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the
“Trustee”) of the Trust, that on May 15, 2018 Enduro Resource
Partners and certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions
for a court-supervised proceeding under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware (the “Court”). Enduro Resource Partners
has also informed the Trustee that it has entered into a stalking
horse purchase agreement with Evolution Petroleum Corporation
(“Evolution”) relating to the sale of the properties in which the
Trust holds a net profits interest and all of the outstanding trust
units owned by Enduro Resource Partners. The stalking horse
purchase agreement and sale contemplated by the purchase agreement
are subject to higher and better bids and Court approval. The Trust
has not filed a Chapter 11 petition and expects to continue in
the normal course without disruption to the unitholders.
