“Fourth quarter 2023 capped off a strong year for TPL,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Driven by robust oil and gas royalty production and continued growth of our water and surface businesses, total consolidated revenues and free cash flow for this most recent quarter were the highest of any quarter in 2023. For the full year 2023, TPL generated record revenues from our Water segment, while revenues from our easements and other surface-related income grew nearly 50% year-over-year. This growth of our surface-related businesses helped to substantially offset lower commodity prices. Looking ahead to 2024, we continue to see strong activity on our royalty and surface acreage. With an unmatched Permian asset footprint, high free cash flow margins, a resilient business mix, and a large net cash balance, TPL is well-positioned in 2024 to seize on opportunities for value-added growth and shareholder return of capital.”

The Company reported net income of $113.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $99.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $166.7 million compared to $152.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was principally due to a combined increase of $10.1 million in water sales and produced water royalties and an increase of $8.3 million in easements and other surface-related income. Oil and gas royalty revenue increased $2.1 million due to higher production volumes in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 partially offset by lower average commodity prices over the same period. The Company’s share of production was 26.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day for the fourth quarter of 2023 versus 21.3 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2022. The average realized price was $42.81 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus $51.57 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2022. TPL’s revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by our customers.

Total operating expenses of $32.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased $4.3 million compared to the same period of 2022. The change in operating expenses is principally related to an increase in water service-related expenses resulting from increased water sales activity during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

The Company reported net income of $405.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 9.1% compared to net income of $446.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Total revenues decreased $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Oil and gas royalty revenue of $357.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes an $8.7 million recovery, as discussed below. As part of an ongoing arbitration between TPL and an operator with respect to underpayment of oil and gas royalties resulting from improper deductions of post-production costs by the operator for production periods before and through June 2023, the operator agreed to pay $10.1 million to TPL, comprised of $8.7 million of unpaid oil and gas royalties, $0.9 million of interest and $0.5 million of damages (the "O&G Settlement"). Excluding the impact of the $8.7 million recovery, oil and gas royalty revenue decreased $103.7 million compared to the same period of 2022. The Company’s share of production was approximately 23.5 thousand Boe per day for the year ended December 31, 2023 versus 21.3 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2022. The average realized price was $42.58 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2023 versus $60.81 per Boe for the same period of 2022. The decrease in oil and gas royalty revenue was partially offset by a combined increase of $39.5 million in water sales and produced water royalties and an increase of $22.9 million in easements and other surface-related income. TPL’s revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by our customers.

Total operating expenses of $145.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $40.4 million compared to the same period of 2022. The change in operating expenses is principally related to increases in legal and professional fees and water service-related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. During 2023, the Company made the operational decision to incur higher water service-related expenses in order to meet increased customer demand for water within shorter time commitments. This decision, in turn, resulted in higher water sales revenue and operating income during 2023 over 2022.

On February 13, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $3.50 per share, payable on March 15, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2024.

The Company also announced that on February 12, 2024, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the full Board that the Board consider including in the 2024 proxy materials a proposal granting stockholders the right to call a special meeting for approval at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Company is currently evaluating the appropriate parameters for such right, with the intent to make a final recommendation to the full Board prior to the release of the proxy materials for the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts) (unaudited)

(dollars in thousands) (unaudited)

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding employee share-based compensation. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and/or other non-recurring or unusual items. We calculate Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense and capital expenditures. Its purpose is to provide an additional measure of operating performance. We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company’s operating performance. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for the three months and years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
