News Release

PermRock Royalty Trust

Declares Monthly Cash Distribution

FORT WORTH, Texas, October 20, 2020 – PermRock Royalty Trust (NYSE:PRT) (the “Trust”) today declared a monthly cash distribution to record holders of its trust units representing beneficial interests in the Trust (“Trust Units”) as of October 30, 2020 and payable on November 16, 2020 in the amount of $164,082.52 ($0.013487 per Trust Unit), based principally upon production during the month of August 2020.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations:

	Underlying Sales Volumes								Average Price
	Oil				Natural Gas				Oil		Natural Gas
	Bbls		Bbls/D		Mcf		Mcf/D		(per Bbl)		(per Mcf)
Current Month		35,896		1,158		52,804		1,703	$	39.38	$	2.03
Prior Month		38,186		1,232		42,273		1,364	$	37.36	$	1.98

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.41 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.02 million from the prior month’s distribution period. This decrease was due to a decrease in sales volumes.

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.11 million for the current month, an increase of $0.03 million from the prior month’s distribution period. This increase was due to an increase in sales volumes and natural gas prices.

Total direct operating expenses, including marketing, lease operating expenses and workover expenses, were $0.50 million reflecting a $0.19 million decrease from the prior month. Severance and ad valorem taxes were $0.18 million.

Capital expenditures were $0.34 million in the current month reflecting a $0.21 million increase from the prior month. Boaz Energy reported these expenditures primarily related to running a casing liner in the Kingdom Abo operating area. Boaz Energy informed the Trust that this month’s net profits calculation included $104,000 net to the Trust of funds reserved by Boaz Energy to cover future capital obligations and expenses.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements represent the Trust’s and Boaz Energy’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders, future cash retentions, advancements or recoupments from distributions, and statements regarding Boaz Energy’s operations and the resulting impact on the computation of the Trust’s net profits. The amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which have declined since the beginning of 2020 in response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, including Saudi Arabia, resulting in an oversupply of crude oil and exacerbating the decline in crude oil prices, and could remain low for an extended period of time. Further, continued low oil and natural gas prices may result in no distributions to unitholders in certain periods. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include expenses of the Trust and reserves for anticipated future expenses, uncertainties in estimating the cost of drilling activities and risks associated with drilling and operating oil and natural gas wells.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as required by law, the Trust does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Trust to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2020 and other public filings filed with the SEC. The risk factors and other factors noted in the Trust's public filings with the SEC could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The Trust’s filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
