TXO PARTNERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

TXO Partners, L.P. (TXO Partners or the Partnership) is an independent oil and gas company that was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in January 2012 (with an effective inception of operations at January 18, 2012). The operations of TXO Partners are governed by the provisions of the partnership agreement, as amended, executed by the general partner, TXO Partners GP, LLC (the General Partner) and the limited partners. The General Partner is the manager and operator of TXO Partners. The General Partner is managed by the board of directors and executive officers of our General Partner. The members of the board of directors of our General Partner are appointed by MorningStar Oil & Gas, LLC (“MSOG”), as the sole member of our General Partner. TXO Partners will remain in existence unless and until dissolved in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.

TXO Partners’ assets include its investment in an unincorporated joint venture, Cross Timbers Energy, LLC (“Cross Timbers Energy”). TXO Partners owns 50% of Cross Timbers Energy, and TXO Partners is the manager of Cross Timbers Energy. Cross Timbers Energy is governed by a Member Management Committee (MMC) and is comprised of six representatives, three from each group, with each group having one voting member. All matters that come before the MMC require the unanimous consent of the voting members. On the last day of each calendar quarter, Cross Timbers Energy distributes all excess cash to the members based on their ownership percentage of 50% each, except for earnings from the note receivable which is owned 5% by TXO Partners. Cross Timbers Energy’s properties are located primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico.

TXO Partners also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MorningStar Operating LLC which owns oil and gas assets primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico.

Reorganization and Public Listing of Common Units

In January, 2023, we completed a series of reorganization transactions in conjunction with publicly listing our common units on the New York Stock Exchange. These included the following transactions (the ‘Reorganization Transactions’):

•We effectuated a one-for-25.33 reverse unit split;

•We caused the exchange of all outstanding Series 5 preferred units for 10,644,484 common units, resulting in our capital structure to consist of a single class of common units;

•All limited partner holders party to our amended and restated agreement of limited partnership contributed all of the outstanding equity interests in us to a new parent company, MorningStar Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MSP II”) in exchange for equity interests in MSP II; and

•We amended our governing documents to, among other things, (i) change our name from “MorningStar Partners, L.P.” to “TXO Energy Partners, L.P.” and (ii) reflect the General Partner as our new non-economic general partner.

As a result of these transactions, the capital structure has been reflected as if the new number of units had been in place for all periods presented.

In May 2023, we amended our Certificate of Formation to change our name to “TXO Partners, L.P.” and the General Partner amended its Certificate of Formation to change its name to “TXO Partners GP, LLC.”

2.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and on the same basis as our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Table of Contents

Commission (“SEC”). Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above. The results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Significant Accounting Policies

For a complete description of TXO Partners’ significant accounting policies, see our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

3.Related Party Transactions

We earned management fees from Cross Timbers Energy of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 We earned management fees from Cross Timbers Energy of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

November 2021 Credit Facility

On November 1, 2021, we entered into a four-year, $165 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain commercial banks, as the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 1, 2025. On June 28, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”) to make certain changes as described below. On October 25, 2023, the borrowing base was reaffirmed. We use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. In connection with entering into the Credit Facility, we incurred financing fees and expenses of approximately $3.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022 before accumulated amortization of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2022. These costs are being amortized over the life of the credit facility. Such amortized expenses are recorded as interest expense on the statements of operations.

Redetermination of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, is based primarily on reserve reports that reflect commodity prices at such time, and scheduled borrowing base redeterminations occur semi-annually, in March and September. Interim redeterminations, may occur between scheduled redeterminations at the lenders sole discretion or upon our request. Significant declines in commodity prices may result in a decrease in the borrowing base. These borrowing base declines can be offset by any commodity price hedges we enter. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Partnership, including, without limitation, (i) our interest in Cross Timbers Energy, (ii) all our deposit accounts, securities accounts, and commodities accounts, (iii) any receivables owed to us by Cross Timbers Energy and (iv) any oil and gas properties owned directly by TXO Partners or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We are required to maintain (i) a current ratio greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and current assets shall include availability under the Credit Facility but current assets and liabilities shall exclude the fair value of derivative instruments and any advances under the Credit Facility and (ii) a ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDAX of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0 each calculated quarterly. For purposes of the total net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio (“Leverage Ratio”), total net debt includes total debt for borrowed money (including capital leases and purchase money debt), minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand at such time (not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate), minus the unpaid balance of the FAM Loan. EBITDAX means sum of (i) net income plus interest expense; income taxes paid; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expenses, including workover expenses; non-cash charges including unrealized losses on derivative instruments; and, any extraordinary or non-recurring charges, minus (ii) any extraordinary or non-recurring income and any non-cash income including unrealized gains on derivative instruments. Effective with the Second Amendment, our hedge requirements are based on availability under the Credit Facility and the Leverage Ratio. If the Leverage Ratio is greater than 0.75 to 1.00, we are required to hedge at least 50% of reasonably anticipated projected production of proved developed producing reserves for the 24 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage ratio is less than 0.75 to 1.00 and availability under

Table of Contents

the Credit Facility is greater than 20% of the then current borrowing base, the minimum required hedge volume would be 35% for the 12 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage ratio is less than 0.5 to 1.0 and availability under the Credit Facility is greater than 66.7% of the then current borrowing base, there would be no

minimum required hedge volume. Our Credit Facility prohibits us from hedging more than 90% of our reasonably projected production for any fiscal year. Under the terms of the Credit Facility as amended by the Second Amendment, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2023. From September 30, 2022 through the spring redetermination, we received waivers to reduce the hedging requirement from 30 months to 15 months and from 50% to 45% of the reasonably anticipated projected production. As a result, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, we believe we have adequate liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.

At our election, interest on borrowings under the credit facility is determined by reference to either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin between 3.00% and 4.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility). Interest is generally payable quarterly for loans bearing interest based on the ABR and at the end of the applicable interest period (either one, three or six months) for loans bearing interest at SOFR. We are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Credit Facility, which accrues at a rate per annum of 0.50% on the average daily unused amount of the lesser of: (i) the maximum commitment amount of the lenders and (ii) the then-effective borrowing base.

We utilized the proceeds from our initial public offering and cash on hand to pay down our credit facility.

September 2016 Loan

On September 30, 2016, TXO Partners entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Cross Timbers Energy (the “FAM Loan”). The proceeds for the loan were taken from the cash held by the offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation and the loan was assigned to the offshore subsidiary (Note 5). The loan matures on January 31, 2026, but is automatically extended should the maturity date of the Credit Facility be extended. In all instances, this loan will mature ninety-one days after the maturity of the Credit Facility. Interest on the loan is the lesser of (a) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus three and one-quarter of one percent (3.25%) per annum, adjusted monthly or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Though the note is unsecured, we are required to stay in compliance with terms of the Credit Facility.

5.Note Receivable from Related Party

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we, through our 5% ownership interest in investment assets at Cross Timbers Energy, had a note receivable totaling $7.1 million outstanding with a highly-rated, offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, there is no stated maturity date and Cross Timbers Energy may demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance on two business days’ notice. Interest is earned based on the one-month SOFR rate and is paid monthly. Interest income totaled $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023 and less than $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2022.

The note receivable is treated as a non-current asset, since Cross Timbers Energy does not have any intention of demanding repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance at this time. Repayment would require the approval of the Cross Timbers Energy MMC.

6.Asset Retirement Obligation

Our asset retirement obligation primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our proved producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash

Table of Contents

flows related to the liability. The following is a summary of changes in TXO Partners’ asset retirement obligation activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligation, January 1	$	126,458
Liability incurred upon acquiring and drilling wells	1,420
Liability settled upon plugging and abandoning wells	(487)
Accretion of discount expense	6,462
Asset retirement obligation, September 30	133,853
Less current portion	(2,500)
Asset retirement obligation, long term	$	131,353

7.Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.

To date, our expenditures to comply with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations have not been significant and are not expected to be significant in the future. However, new regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant future costs.

8.Fair Value

We use commodity-based and financial derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We periodically enter into futures contracts, costless collars, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales (Note 9).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Because of their short-term maturity, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying values at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The following are estimated fair values and carrying values of our other financial instruments at each of these dates:


	Asset (Liability)
	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Note receivable from related party	$	7,131	$	7,131	$	7,131	$	7,131
Long-term debt	$	(25,100)	$	(25,100)	$	(120,100)	$	(120,100)
Derivative asset	$	2,469	$	2,469	$	1,532	$	1,532
Derivative liability	$	(21,851)	$	(21,851)	$	(105,772)	$	(105,772)

The fair value of our note receivable from related party approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is based on current market interest rates and can be called upon two business days’ notice (Note 5). The fair value of our long-term debt approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is reset periodically at then current market rates (Note 4).

The fair value of our note receivable from related party (Note 5), derivative asset/(liability) (Note 9) and our long-term debt (Note 4) is measured using Level 2 inputs, and are determined by either market prices on an active market for similar assets or other market-corroborated prices. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of our note receivable and net derivative asset (liability). Since our counterparty is highly rated, the fair value of our note receivable from related party does not require an adjustment to account for the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty, however, an adjustment for counterparty credit risk has been applied to the net derivative asset (liability).

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes our fair value measurements and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable and are based upon Level 3 inputs. These assets and liabilities can include assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, proved and unproved natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired. Such fair value estimates require assumptions and judgments regarding the existence of liabilities, the amount and timing of cash outflows required to settle the liability, what constitutes adequate restoration, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, and consideration of changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.

We periodically review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We review our oil and natural gas properties by asset group. The estimated future net cash flows are based upon the underlying reserves and anticipated future pricing. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of a particular asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of such assets. The fair value of the proved properties is measured based on the income approach, which incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future product prices, which the Partnership bases on the forward-price curves, estimates of oil and gas reserves, estimates of future expected operating and capital costs and a risk adjusted discount rate of 10%. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commodity Price Hedging Instruments

We periodically enter into futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions, collars and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. See Note 9.

The fair value of our derivatives contracts consists of the following:


	Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives
(in thousands)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Derivative fair value (gain) loss	$	5,019	$	(670)	$	(3,216)	$	133,658

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Our receivables are from a diverse group of companies including major energy companies, pipeline companies, local distribution companies, marketing companies and end-users in various industries. Letters of credit or other appropriate security are obtained as considered necessary to limit risk of loss from the other companies. Including the bank that issued the letter of credit, we currently have greater concentrations of credit with several investment-grade (BBB- or better) rated companies.

9.Commodity Sales Commitments

Our policy is to consider hedging a portion of our production at commodity prices the general partner deems attractive. While there is a risk we may not be able to realize the benefit of rising prices, the general partner may enter into hedging agreements because of the benefits of predictable, stable cash flows.

We enter futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. We also enter costless price collars, which set a ceiling and floor price to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the ceiling price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the floor price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. If the actual commodity price falls in between the ceiling and floor price, there is no cash settlement.

Crude Oil

We have entered into crude oil futures contracts and swap agreements that effectively fix prices for the production and periods shown below. Prices to be realized for hedged production may be less than these fixed prices because of location, quality and other adjustments. See Note 8.

12. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Partnership recognizes sales of oil, natural gas, and NGLs when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Partnership expects to be entitled in exchange for the product.

Table of Contents

As discussed in Note 9, the Partnership recognizes the impact of derivative gains and losses as a component of revenue. See table below for the reconciliation of revenue from contracts with customers and derivative gains and losses.

Natural Gas and NGL Sales

Under our natural gas processing contracts, we deliver natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or at the inlet of a facility. The midstream provider gathers and processes the product and both the residue gas and the resulting natural gas liquids are sold at the tailgate of the plant. The Partnership’s natural gas production is primarily sold under market-sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to the published natural gas index price for the producing area due to the natural gas quality and the proximity to the market. We evaluated these arrangements and determined that control of the products transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Partnership is the principal and the third-party purchaser is its customer. As such, we present the gas and NGL sales on a gross basis and the related gathering and processing costs as a component of taxes, transportation, and other on the statement of operations.

Oil and Condensate Sales

Oil production is sold at the wellhead under market-sensitive contracts at an index price, net of pricing differentials. The Partnership recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received from

Table of Contents

the customer. This treatment after the adoption of ASC 606 is consistent with the treatment under ASC 605 and has no impact on revenues or expenses on the statement of operations.

Production imbalances

The Partnership uses the sales method to account for production imbalances. If the Partnership’s sales volumes for a well exceed the Partnership’s proportionate share of production from the well, a liability is recognized to the extent that the Partnership’s share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves from the well is insufficient to satisfy the imbalance. No receivables are recorded for those wells on which the Partnership has taken less than its proportionate share of production.

Contract Balances

Under the Partnership’s product sales contracts, its customers are invoiced once the Partnership’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Partnership’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities.

Performance Obligations

The majority of the Partnership’s sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Partnership from disclosures of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original duration of one year or less.

For the Partnership’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), which states the Partnership is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not required.

13. Employee Benefit Plans

In connection with the initial public offering, the board approved grants of 545,000 phantom units with distribution equivalent rights to the non-employee directors, officers and certain key employees. These phantom units will vest ratably over a three year period for the officers and key employees and will fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant for the non-employee directors. The phantom units will be settled in common units and distribution equivalents will be paid to holders of outstanding phantom units, including unvested phantom units.

The following summarizes the status of nonvested phantom units as of September 30, 2023:


(in thousands, except per unit amounts)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Units
Nonvested at January 1, 2023	$	—	—
Grants	$	20.00	545,000
Forfeitures	$	20.00	(10,000)
Nonvested at September 30, 2023	$	20.00	535,000

We recognized compensation expense related to these grants of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and none for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we had total deferred compensation expense of $8.2 million. For these non-vested unit awards, we estimate that compensation expense for service periods after September 30, 2023 will be $0.9 million in 2023, $3.5 million in 2024, $3.5 million in 2025 and $0.3 million in 2026. The weighted average remaining vesting period is 2.3 years.

Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Unless otherwise stated or the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report to “our general partner” refers to TXO Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the terms “partnership,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms refer to TXO Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TXO Partners”) and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this discussion the term “MBoe” refers to thousands of barrels of oil equivalent quantities produced for the indicated period, with natural gas and NGL quantities converted to Bbl on an energy equivalent ratio of six Mcf to one barrel of oil.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “budget” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events at the time such statement was made. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations as discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statement include:

•commodity price volatility;

•the impact of epidemics, outbreaks or other public health events, and the related effects on financial markets, worldwide economic activity and our operations;

•the impact of COVID-19, and governmental measures related thereto, on global demand for oil and natural gas and on the operations of our business;

•uncertainties about our estimated oil, natural gas and NGL reserves, including the impact of commodity price declines on the economic producibility of such reserves, and in projecting future rates of production;

•the concentration of our operations in the Permian Basin and the San Juan Basin;

•difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets;

•lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations or other factors;

•lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services;

•potential financial losses or earnings reductions resulting from our commodity price risk management program or any inability to manage our commodity risks;

•failure to realize expected value creation from property acquisitions and trades;

Table of Contents

•access to capital and the timing of development expenditures;

•environmental, weather, drilling and other operating risks;

•regulatory changes, including potential shut-ins or production curtailments mandated by the Railroad Commission of Texas;

•competition in the oil and natural gas industry;

•loss of production and leasehold rights due to mechanical failure or depletion of wells and our inability to re-establish their production;

•our ability to service our indebtedness;

•cost inflation;

•political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, the Israel-Hamas war, and other continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, the armed conflict in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage;

•evolving cybersecurity risks such as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insiders or others with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions; and

•risks related to our ability to expand our business, including through the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reservoir engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, our reserve and PV-10 estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development, optimization and exploitation of conventional oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid reserves in North America. Our properties are predominately located in the Permian Basin of New Mexico and Texas and the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado.

Initial Public Offering

On January 31, 2023, we completed our initial public offering in which we issued and sold 5,000,000 common units at a public offering price of $20.00 per unit. In addition, on February 6, 2023, we sold an additional 750,000 common units pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments. We received net proceeds of approximately $102 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses borne by us. We utilized the proceeds from our initial public offering and cash on hand to pay down our credit facility.

Market Outlook

The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are highly volatile. For example, during the period from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, NYMEX prices for crude oil and natural gas reached a high of $123.70 per Bbl and $9.68 per MMBtu, respectively, and a low of $66.74 per Bbl and $1.99 per MMBtu, respectively. Oil prices steadily increased significantly in the first half of 2022 due to increased demand, domestic supply reductions, OPEC control measures and market disruptions resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia. Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict first commenced, WTI crude oil prices have been volatile reaching a high of $123.70 per Bbl in March 2022 before declining to $86.66 per Bbl as of October 17, 2023. Natural gas prices reached a high of $9.68 per MMbtu in August, 2022 before declining to $3.08 per MMbtu as of October 17, 2023.

We expect the crude oil and natural gas markets will continue to be volatile in the future. Our revenue, profitability and future growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production.

Although inflation in the United States had been relatively low for many years, there was a significant increase in inflation beginning in the second half of 2021, which has continued into 2023, due to a substantial increase in the money supply, a stimulative fiscal policy, a significant rebound in consumer demand as COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed, the Russia-Ukraine war and worldwide supply chain disruptions resulting from the economic contraction caused by COVID-19 and lockdowns followed by a rapid recovery. Inflation, as measured on an annual basis, rose from 7.0% in December 2021 to a high of 9.1% in June 2022 and fell to 3.7% in September 2023. Global, industry-wide supply chain disruptions have resulted in widespread shortages of labor, materials and services. Such shortages have resulted in our facing significant cost increases for labor, materials and services. Principally, commodity costs for steel and chemicals required for drilling, higher transportation and fuel costs and annual wage increases have increased our operating costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. We also may face shortages of these commodities and labor, which may prevent us from executing on our development plan. We do not expect these shortages and cost increases to reverse in the short term. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do associated costs. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to prices. We cannot predict the future inflation rate but to the extent inflation remains elevated, we may experience further cost increases in our operations, including costs for drill rigs, workover rigs, tubulars and other well equipment, as well as increased labor costs. If we are unable to recover higher costs through higher commodity prices, our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions would all be significantly impacted.

We continue to evaluate actions to mitigate supply chain and inflationary pressures. We are working closely with other suppliers and contractors to ensure availability of supplies on site, especially fuel, steel and chemical supplies which are critical to many of our operations. However, these mitigation efforts may not succeed or may be insufficient.

In September 2023, our CO2 plant in the Vacuum area of the Permian Basin began experiencing electrical issues causing unplanned plant downtime. This plant downtime resulted in lower NGL volumes and lower plant income in the Permian during the three months ended September 30, 2023. We are currently working to resolve these electrical issues, and we expect to return the plant to full operations in the fourth quarter of 2023.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our operations, including:

•production volumes;

•realized prices on the sale of oil, NGLs and natural gas;

•production expenses;

•acquisition and development expenditures;

•Adjusted EBITDAX; and

•Cash Available for Distribution.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX

We include in this Quarterly Report the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDAX and provide our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAX and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income (loss), our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (4) impairment expenses, (5) accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, (6) exploration expenses, (7) unrealized (gains) losses on commodity derivative contracts, (8) non-cash incentive compensation, (9) non-cash (gain) loss on forgiveness of debt and (10) certain other non-cash expenses.

Adjusted EBITDAX is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Cash Available for Distribution

Cash available for distribution is not a measure of net income or net cash flow provided by or used in operating activities as determined by GAAP. Cash available for distribution is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, lenders and others (including industry analysts and rating agencies who will be using such measure), to assess our ability to internally fund our exploration and development activities, pay distributions, and to service or incur additional debt. We define cash available for distribution as Adjusted EBITDAX less net cash interest expense, exploration expense, non-recurring (gain) / loss and development costs. Development costs include all of our capital expenditures made for oil and gas properties, other than acquisitions. Cash available for distribution will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Cash available for distribution is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or net cash provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our financial performance and liquidity. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating activities.

You should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDAX or cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDAX and cash available for distribution may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted

Table of Contents

EBITDAX and cash available for distribution may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

_________________________________

(1)Oil and condensate prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized gains were $34.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Realized losses were $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

(2)Natural gas liquids prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized gains were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Realized losses were $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

(3)Natural gas prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized gains were $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized losses were $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Realized losses were $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $18.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenues

Revenues decreased $50.8 million, or 42%, from $120.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $69.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on oil of 13% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $6.8 million, on NGLs of 41% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $5.0 million and on natural gas of 61% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $33.9 million. Additionally, net losses on our hedging activity of $5.7 million, of which $30.3 million were unrealized losses and $24.6 million were realized gains, added to the decline. These decreases were partially offset by a revenue increase of $0.4 million in spite of a decrease in production of 34 MBoe primarily as a result of the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin being offset by decreased NGL volumes primarily due to plant downtime in the Permian Basin.

Production expenses

Production expenses increased $2.9 million, or 9%, from $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $35.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increased maintenance costs partially offset by decreased CO2 costs.

Table of Contents

On a per unit basis, production expenses increased from $15.33 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $16.95 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to increased maintenance costs partially offset by decreased CO2 costs.

Taxes, transportation, and other

Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $9.7 million, or 39%, from $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in oil, NGLs and natural gas prices and NGLs production partially offset by increased oil and natural gas production.

On a per unit basis, taxes, transportation, and other decreased from $11.68 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $7.25 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily related to the lower oil, NGLs and natural gas prices.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization was essentially flat at $10.6 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

On a per unit basis, depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased from $4.96 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $5.05 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to changes in production mix.

General and administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $1.7 million, or 1,990%, from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to higher personnel costs of $0.8 million due in part to amortization of unit awards and additional expenses related to the initial public offering in January 2023.

On a per unit basis, G&A expense increased from $0.04 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $0.83 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to increased costs and decreased production.

Other income

Other income decreased $2.1 million, or 28%, from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower CO2 and plant income of $2.1 million related to plant downtime. The CO2 and plant income is ancillary to the operations of the gas processing plant in the Permian Basin in New Mexico and CO2 assets in Colorado we acquired from Chevron in November 2021, which we refer to as the Vacuum properties.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 46%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased borrowings due in part to the January 2023 initial public offering partially offset by a higher interest rate and increased commitment fees.

(1)Oil and condensate prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized gains were $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized losses were $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Realized losses were $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(2)Natural gas liquids prices include both realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized gains were $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized losses were $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Realized gains were $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and realized losses were $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(3)Natural gas prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized gains were $83.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and unrealized losses were $51.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Realized losses were $76.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $36.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenues

Revenues increased $84.7 million, or 42%, from $204.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $288.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to net gains on our hedging activity of $136.9 million, of which $148.3 million were unrealized gains and $11.4 million were realized losses. Also, revenue increased $5.6 million in spite of a decrease in production of 94 MBoe primarily as a result of the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin being offset by natural declines in San Juan Basin. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on oil of 23% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $36.3 million, on NGLs of 39% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $14.6 million and on natural gas of 5% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $6.8 million.

Production expenses

Production expenses increased $16.4 million, or 17%, from $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $110.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Of this increase, $7.2 million is attributable to the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to increased maintenance and energy costs.

On a per unit basis, production expenses increased from $14.79 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $17.63 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to the increased costs per Boe from the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin due to the acquired properties

Table of Contents

having a higher percentage of oil production, which is more expensive on a Boe basis than natural gas production. Additionally, increased maintenance and energy costs contributed to the increase per Boe.

Taxes, transportation, and other

Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $13.7 million, or 19%, from $73.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $59.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in oil, NGLs and natural gas prices and decreased NGLs and natural gas production partially offset by increased oil production.

On a per unit basis, taxes, transportation, and other decreased from $11.49 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $9.47 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily related to the lower oil, NGLs and natural gas prices and change in production mix.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased $2.8 million, or 9%, from $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased production associated with the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin third quarter of 2022 of $3.1 million.

On a per unit basis, depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased from $4.78 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $5.29 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to changes in production mix.

General and administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $4.5 million, or 785%, from $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to higher personnel costs of $5.4 million due in part to amortization of unit awards and additional expenses related to the initial public offering in January 2023 partially offset by decreased acquisition related costs.

On a per unit basis, G&A expense increased from $0.09 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $0.81 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to increased costs and decreased production.

Other income

Other income decreased $0.4 million, or 2%, from $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the $0.6 million decrease in marketing income partially offset by higher CO2 and plant income of $0.1 million related to the acquisition of additional interest in the Permian Basin. The CO2 and plant income is ancillary to the operations of the gas processing plant in the Permian Basin in New Mexico and CO2 assets in Colorado we acquired from Chevron in November 2021, which we refer to as the Vacuum properties.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 41%, from $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased borrowings due in part to the January 2023 initial public offering partially offset by a higher interest rate and increased commitment fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital will be cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility were $113.0 million at December 31, 2022 and $18.0 million at September 30, 2023, and the remaining availability under our Credit Facility was $52.0 million at

Table of Contents

December 31, 2022 and $147.0 million at September 30, 2023. Additionally, we had positive net working capital (including cash and excluding the effects of derivative instruments) of $20.7 million at December 31, 2022 and $9.7 million at September 30, 2023.

Our net credit facility debt as of September 30, 2023 was $12.1 million (less cash of $5.9 million) and was incurred to cover our acquisition and capital expenditures for other property of $9.9 million as well as the change in the capital accrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $5.5 million. We expect to repay the debt incurred by us to complete such acquisition and capital expenditures in order to meet our long-term goal of remaining substantially debt free.

Our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) to our unitholders. Our quarterly cash distributions may vary from quarter to quarter as a direct result of variations in the performance of our business, including those caused by fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. Such variations may be significant and quarterly distributions paid to our unitholders may be zero. Our third quarter distribution of $0.52 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was declared on November 7, 2023 and will be paid on November 27, 2023 to unitholders of record on November 17, 2023.

The second quarter distribution of $0.48 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was declared on August 8, 2023 and paid August 25, 2023 to unitholders of record on August 18, 2023.

Our acquisition and development expenditures consist of acquisitions of proved, unproved and other property and development expenditures. Our capital expenditures including acquisitions were $40.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $70.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In order to mitigate volatility in oil and natural gas prices, we have entered into commodity derivative contracts. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk.”

We incurred costs of approximately $25.0 million for drilling, completion and recompletion activities and facilities costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and we have budgeted approximately $30.0 million for such costs in 2023.

The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is substantially within our control and subject to management’s discretion. We retain the flexibility to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the prevailing and anticipated prices for oil, NGLs and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, seasonal conditions and drilling and acquisition costs. Any postponement or elimination of our development program could result in a reduction of proved reserve volumes, production and cash flow, including distributions to unitholders.

Based on current commodity prices and our drilling success rate to date, we expect to be able to fund our distributions, meet our debt obligations and fund our 2023 capital development programs from cash flow from operations and net proceeds from the initial public offering.

If cash flow from operations does not meet our expectations, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures and/or distributions to unitholders. Alternatively, we may fund these expenditures using borrowings under our Credit Facility, issuances of debt and equity securities or from other sources, such as asset sales. We cannot assure you that necessary capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise funds through the incurrence of additional indebtedness could be limited by covenants in our debt arrangements. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us, finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or proved reserves, or make distributions to unitholders.

Net cash used by financing activities	(22,510)		(29,624)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to a decline in operating results, excluding the effects of derivatives, primarily due to lower oil, NGL and natural gas realizations and increased costs.

Net cash used by investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities decreased $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to decreased proved property acquisitions of $41.2 million and other asset additions of $11.4 million partially offset by an increase in development costs of $22.7 million.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to proceeds from the initial public offering of $106.3 million partially offset by an increase in net repayments under our credit facility of $75.0 million and increased distributions to unitholders of $27.2 million.

Revolving credit agreement

On November 1, 2021, we entered into a four-year, $165 million senior secured credit facility with certain commercial banks, as the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. The facility has a maturity date of November 1, 2025 and as of October 25, 2023, the last date of redetermination, our borrowing base was $165 million.

Our Credit Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on incurring debt and liens, limitations on merging or consolidating with another company, limitations on making certain restricted payments, limitations on investments, limitations on paying distributions on, redeeming, or repurchasing common units, limitations on entering into transactions with affiliates, and limitations on asset sales. The

Table of Contents

Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including non-payment, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, cross-default, bankruptcy and change of control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

At our election, interest on borrowings under the credit facility is determined by reference to either the secured overnight financing rate plus an applicable margin between 3.00% and 4.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility). The weighted average interest rate on Credit Facility borrowings was 8.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We are required to maintain (i) a current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) greater than 1.0 to 1.0, which for purposes of this definition includes availability under the Credit Facility but excludes the fair value of derivative instruments, and (ii) a ratio of total net debt-to-EBITDAX of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For purposes of the total net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio, total net debt is total debt for borrowed money (including capital leases and purchase money debt) minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand at such time (not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate), minus the unpaid balance of the FAM Loan. The total EBITDAX calculation includes the sum of (i) net income plus interest expense; income taxes paid; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expenses, including workover expenses; non-cash charges including unrealized losses on derivative instruments; and, any extraordinary or non-recurring charges, minus (ii) any extraordinary or non-recurring income and any non-cash income including unrealized gains on derivative instruments.

We utilized the proceeds from our initial public offering and cash on hand to pay down our credit facility, so that we had $18 million of debt outstanding and $147 million available under our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023.

Contractual obligations and commitments

We have not guaranteed the debt or obligations of any other party, nor do we have any other arrangements or relationships with other entities that could potentially result in consolidated debt or losses.

Derivative contracts

We have entered into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. If market prices are higher than the contract prices when the cash settlement amount is calculated, we are required to pay the contract counterparties. As of September 30, 2023, the current liability related to such contracts was $20.6 million and the non-current liability was $1.2 million. Such payments will generally be funded by higher prices received from the sale of oil, NGLs and natural gas. For further information on derivative contracts, see Note 9 in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Asset Retirement Obligation

At September 30, 2023, we had asset retirement obligations of $133.9 million inclusive of a current portion of $2.5 million. For further information on asset retirement obligations, see Note 6 in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

There has been no change in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading. Also, gains and losses on these instruments are generally offset by losses and gains on the offsetting expenses.

Table of Contents

Commodity price risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, NGL and natural gas production. Pricing for oil, NGLs, and natural gas has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we receive for our oil, NGL, and natural gas production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and global supply and demand for the commodities we produce.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil, NGL and natural gas prices on our revenues, we periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our oil, NGL and natural gas production through various transactions that limit the risks of fluctuations of future prices. We plan to continue our practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, we may enter into collars, whereby we receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling. These hedging activities are intended to limit our exposure to product price volatility and to maintain stable cash flows.

As of September 30, 2023, the fair market value of our oil, NGL and natural gas derivative contracts was a net liability of $19.4 million. Based upon our open commodity derivative positions at September 30, 2023, a hypothetical 10% change in the NYMEX WTI and Henry Hub prices, OPIS prices and basis prices would change our net oil, NGL and natural gas derivative liability by approximately $9.2 million.


(in thousands)	Fair Value at September 30, 2023		Hypothetical Price Increase or Decrease of 10%
Derivative asset (liability) – Crude Oil	$	(11,578)	$	5,125
Derivative asset (liability) – Natural Gas Liquids	$	(367)	$	458
Derivative asset (liability) – Natural Gas	$	(7,437)	$	3,631
Net derivative liability	$	(19,382)	$	9,214

The hypothetical change in fair value could be a gain or loss depending on whether prices increase or decrease.

Counterparty and customer credit risk

Our cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We manage and control this risk by investing these funds in major financial institutions. We often have balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

We sell oil, NGL and natural gas production to various types of customers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and historical payment record. The future availability of a ready market for our production depends on numerous factors outside of our control, none of which can be predicted with certainty. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had two and three customers, respectively, that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. We do not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact our operating results because oil, NGLs and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.

At September 30, 2023, we had commodity derivative contracts with counterparties. We are currently not required to provide collateral or other security to counterparties to support derivative instruments; however, to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, we use master netting arrangements to minimize credit risk exposure. The creditworthiness of our counterparties is subject to periodic review.

Interest rate risk

At September 30, 2023, we had $18.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on this and expected borrowing levels in 2023, a change in interest rates would be de minimis. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Revolving credit agreement.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a 15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict the outcome of any such lawsuits with certainty, but management believes it is remote that pending or threatened legal matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in other routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment-related disputes. In the opinion of our management, none of these other pending litigation matters, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no adoptions, modifications, or terminations by directors or officers of Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements, each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies TXO Partners, L.P. (TXO Partners or the Partnership) is an independent oil and gas company that was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in January 2012 (with an effective inception of operations at January 18, 2012). The operations of TXO Partners are governed by the provisions of the partnership agreement, as amended, executed by the general partner, TXO Partners GP, LLC (the General Partner) and the limited partners. The General Partner is the manager and operator of TXO Partners. The General Partner is managed by the board of directors and executive officers of our General Partner. The members of the board of directors of our General Partner are appointed by MorningStar Oil & Gas, LLC (“MSOG”), as the sole member of our General Partner. TXO Partners will remain in existence unless and until dissolved in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement. TXO Partners’ assets include its investment in an unincorporated joint venture, Cross Timbers Energy, LLC (“Cross Timbers Energy”). TXO Partners owns 50% of Cross Timbers Energy, and TXO Partners is the manager of Cross Timbers Energy. Cross Timbers Energy is governed by a Member Management Committee (MMC) and is comprised of six representatives, three from each group, with each group having one voting member. All matters that come before the MMC require the unanimous consent of the voting members. On the last day of each calendar quarter, Cross Timbers Energy distributes all excess cash to the members based on their ownership percentage of 50% each, except for earnings from the note receivable which is owned 5% by TXO Partners. Cross Timbers Energy’s properties are located primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. TXO Partners also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MorningStar Operating LLC which owns oil and gas assets primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. Reorganization and Public Listing of Common Units In January, 2023, we completed a series of reorganization transactions in conjunction with publicly listing our common units on the New York Stock Exchange. These included the following transactions (the ‘Reorganization Transactions’): •We effectuated a one-for-25.33 reverse unit split; •We caused the exchange of all outstanding Series 5 preferred units for 10,644,484 common units, resulting in our capital structure to consist of a single class of common units; •All limited partner holders party to our amended and restated agreement of limited partnership contributed all of the outstanding equity interests in us to a new parent company, MorningStar Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MSP II”) in exchange for equity interests in MSP II; and •We amended our governing documents to, among other things, (i) change our name from “MorningStar Partners, L.P.” to “TXO Energy Partners, L.P.” and (ii) reflect the General Partner as our new non-economic general partner. As a result of these transactions, the capital structure has been reflected as if the new number of units had been in place for all periods presented. In May 2023, we amended our Certificate of Formation to change our name to “TXO Partners, L.P.” and the General Partner amended its Certificate of Formation to change its name to “TXO Partners GP, LLC.”

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting PoliciesThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and on the same basis as our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above. The results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for the full year. Significant Accounting Policies For a complete description of TXO Partners’ significant accounting policies, see our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Natural Gas and NGL Sales Under our natural gas processing contracts, we deliver natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or at the inlet of a facility. The midstream provider gathers and processes the product and both the residue gas and the resulting natural gas liquids are sold at the tailgate of the plant. The Partnership’s natural gas production is primarily sold under market-sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to the published natural gas index price for the producing area due to the natural gas quality and the proximity to the market. We evaluated these arrangements and determined that control of the products transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Partnership is the principal and the third-party purchaser is its customer. As such, we present the gas and NGL sales on a gross basis and the related gathering and processing costs as a component of taxes, transportation, and other on the statement of operations. Oil and Condensate Sales Oil production is sold at the wellhead under market-sensitive contracts at an index price, net of pricing differentials. The Partnership recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received from the customer. This treatment after the adoption of ASC 606 is consistent with the treatment under ASC 605 and has no impact on revenues or expenses on the statement of operations. Production imbalances The Partnership uses the sales method to account for production imbalances. If the Partnership’s sales volumes for a well exceed the Partnership’s proportionate share of production from the well, a liability is recognized to the extent that the Partnership’s share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves from the well is insufficient to satisfy the imbalance. No receivables are recorded for those wells on which the Partnership has taken less than its proportionate share of production. Contract Balances Under the Partnership’s product sales contracts, its customers are invoiced once the Partnership’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Partnership’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities. Performance Obligations The majority of the Partnership’s sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Partnership from disclosures of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original duration of one year or less. For the Partnership’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), which states the Partnership is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not required.

Note Receivable from Related Party	Note Receivable from Related Party As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we, through our 5% ownership interest in investment assets at Cross Timbers Energy, had a note receivable totaling $7.1 million outstanding with a highly-rated, offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, there is no stated maturity date and Cross Timbers Energy may demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance on two business days’ notice. Interest is earned based on the one-month SOFR rate and is paid monthly. Interest income totaled $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023 and less than $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2022. The note receivable is treated as a non-current asset, since Cross Timbers Energy does not have any intention of demanding repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance at this time. Repayment would require the approval of the Cross Timbers Energy MMC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and on the same basis as our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above. The results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for the full year.
