SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES

MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR SEPTEMBER 2024

Dallas, Texas, September 6, 2024 – Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.421310 per unit, payable on September 30, 2024, to unit holders of record on September 16, 2024. Sabine’s cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website, which has recently been updated with a new look, at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports can be requested and are mailed free of charge.

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for June 2024 and the gas production for May 2024, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 64,743 barrels of oil and 1,359,603 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $78.14 per barrel of oil and $1.52 per Mcf of gas.

This month’s distribution is lower than the previous month’s primarily due to a decrease in oil production, partially offset by an increase in the price of both oil and natural gas and an increase in natural gas production.

The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous month’s:

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified, and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of August, approximately $89,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of September, in addition to normal cash receipts received during September. Since the close of business in August and prior to this press release, approximately $302,000 in revenue has been received.

The 2023 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the January 1, 2024 Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
