Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q4 2025 run-rate production of 25,627 Boe/d exceeded the midpoint of guidance
  • Proved developed reserves increased approximately 8% in 2025 to a record ~73 million Boe
  • Q4 cash distribution raised to $0.37 per common unit, up 6% from Q3 2025, with ~100% treated as return of capital
  • Credit facility borrowing base reaffirmed at $625 million with cost of debt lowered by a combined 35 bps and maturity extended to December 2030
  • 2025 line-of-site wells (7.1 net) exceed estimated 6.8 net wells needed annually to maintain flat production, with 85 active rigs on acreage (16% U.S. land rig market share)
  • Barnett-Woodford development accelerating on Kimbell acreage (e.g., Conoco wells on Mabee Ranch), providing a free optionality catalyst as mineral owner

Risks & pressure points

  • Natural gas differential widened from 18% in Q3 to 24% in Q4 2025, with seasonal headwinds expected to continue into Q1
  • ~15% of gas production exposed to Waha pricing that has been very low, with takeaway improvements not expected until late 2026/2027
  • Q4 2025 G&A expense of $10.4 million included $6.2 million of cash G&A ($2.63/Boe), at the higher end of guidance
  • Mezzanine equity remains outstanding, with potential partial redemption only anticipated in the second half of 2026

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“Our production guidance at the midpoint remains unchanged from 2025 at 25,500 Boe per day and demonstrates the ongoing development, diversity, and stability of our production base. We remain confident about the prospects for continued development in 2026, given the number of rigs actively drilling on our acreage, especially in the Permian, as well as our line-of-site wells exceeding our maintenance well count.” Davis Ravnaas, CFO
“We own all depths across the vast majority of our massive acreage position in our portfolio, which means that we stand to benefit considerably from any development in new formations, including the Barnett-Woodford. As a mineral owner, we do not have to pay for test pilot programs or delineation projects, making this a meaningful catalyst for increased free cash flow for our unitholders in the future.” Bob Ravnaas, CEO
