FORT WORTH, Texas, November 2, 2023 – Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) (“Kimbell” or the “Company”), a leading owner of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests in over 127,000 gross wells across 28 states, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Page
· | As of September 30, 2023, Kimbell’s major properties2 had 9.34 net drilled but uncompleted wells (“DUCs”) and net permitted locations on its acreage (5.40 net DUCs and 3.94 net permitted locations), compared to an estimated 5.8 net wells needed to maintain flat production |
· | Announced a Q3 2023 cash distribution of $0.51 per common unit, reflecting a payout ratio of 75% of cash available for distribution; implies a 12.7% annualized yield based on the November 1, 2023 closing price of $16.11 per common unit; Kimbell intends to utilize the remaining 25% of its cash available for distribution to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under Kimbell’s revolving credit facility |
· | Conservative Balance Sheet with Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Month Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of 0.9x |
· | Company boosts production guidance range for Q4 2023 and with record low cash G&A per BOE expected in Q4 2023 |
Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell’s general partner (the “General Partner”), commented, “We are very pleased to announce another record quarter with new all-time highs set in production, rig count, DUCs and permits. The Company’s production mix continued to materially shift towards liquids in the third quarter, with oil and NGLs now representing 49% of our production mix on a 6:1 basis as compared to 46% in the second quarter. Activity on our acreage remains strong and we now have the highest market share ever recorded by Kimbell of the overall U.S. land rig count at 17%. Even after giving effect to our most recent $455 million acquisition, we still have the best-in-class PDP decline rate of only 14%. At the end of Q3 2023, we had 9.3 net DUCs and permits, reflecting the widest spread ever of line-of-site wells relative to the number of wells needed to maintain flat production of 5.8 net wells per year. This gives us confidence in the resilience in our production as we wrap up 2023 and look at 2024. In short, we are extremely pleased with this quarter as well as our Q3 2023 distribution of $0.51 that we declared today, an increase of 31% from Q2 2023.”
Third Quarter 2023 Distribution and Debt Repayment
Today, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board of Directors”) approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the third quarter of 2023, or $0.51 per common unit. The distribution will be payable on November 20, 2023 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2023. Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the third quarter of 2023 to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility. Since May 2020 (excluding the expected upcoming pay-down from the remaining 25% of Q3 2023 projected cash available for distribution), Kimbell has paid down approximately $119.8 million of outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility by allocating a portion of its cash available for distribution for debt pay-down.
Kimbell expects that approximately 55% of its third quarter 2023 distribution should not constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead are estimated to constitute non-taxable reductions to the basis of each distribution recipient’s ownership interest in Kimbell common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders’ capital gain (or decrease unitholders’ capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. The Form 8937 containing additional information may be found at www.kimbellrp.com under “Investor Relations” section of the site. Kimbell currently believes that the portion that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2023. Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.
2 These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which generally have a net revenue interest of 0.1% or below and are time consuming to quantify but, in the estimation of Kimbell's management, could add an additional 20% to Kimbell’s net inventory.

Supplemental Schedules
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures by management and external users of Kimbell’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Kimbell believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate Kimbell’s operating performance and compare the results of Kimbell’s operations period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay distributions to Kimbell’s unitholders. Kimbell defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, non-cash unit based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, cash distribution from affiliate, equity income (loss) in affiliate, gains and losses on sales of assets and operational impacts of variable interest entities, which include general and administrative expense and interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Kimbell excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within Kimbell’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Kimbell’s computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Kimbell expects that cash available for distribution for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.
Kimbell believes Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are useful metrics because they isolate cash costs within overall G&A expense and measure cash costs relative to overall production, which is a widely utilized metric to evaluate operational performance within the energy sector. Cash G&A is defined as general and administrative expenses less unit-based compensation expense. Cash G&A per Boe is defined as Cash G&A divided by total production for a period. Cash G&A should not be considered an alternative to G&A expense presented in accordance with GAAP. Kimbell’s computations of Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
