Key moments

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

“Our active rig count remains strong with 85 rigs drilling across our acreage, representing a market share of U.S. land rigs at 16%. This favorable first quarter performance allowed us to declare a Q1 2026 distribution of $0.41 per common unit, up 11% from Q4 2025, as we continue to focus on returning value to unitholders.” Speaker 2, Chairman
“I will say that we do not intend to divert the 75% payout to our dividends for repurchases. It would be a trade-off between debt paydown and repurchases of our stock with the 25% component of our free cash. That is what we are going to be weighing going forward.” Davis Ravnaas, CFO
