News Release |
SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR JANUARY 2026
Dallas, Texas, January 5, 2026 – Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.321550 per unit, payable on January 29, 2026, to unit holders of record on January 15, 2026. Sabine’s cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports can be requested and are mailed free of charge.
This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for October 2025 and the gas production for September 2025, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 56,504 barrels of oil and 1,314,850 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $61.05 per barrel of oil and $2.31 per Mcf of gas.
This month’s distribution is higher than the previous month’s primarily due to an increase in oil and natural gas production. These increases were partially offset by lower oil and natural gas prices, along with an increase in Ad Valorem taxes.
The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous month’s:

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified, and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25thof every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.
Due to the timing of the end of the month of December, approximately $507,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of January in addition to normal cash receipts received during January. Since the close of business in December and prior to this press release, approximately $728,000 in revenue has been received.
Approximately $804,000 for 2025 Ad Valorem taxes were deducted from this month’s distribution as compared to $259,000 this time last year. Ad Valorem tax payments are normal expenditures at this time of year.
The 2024 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2024, Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
