Announces Q4 2025 Cash Distribution of $0.37 per Common Unit, up 6% from Q3 2025
Initiates 2026 Operational Guidance with Production Guidance Range Unchanged from 2025, Reinforcing Stability of Production Base
FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell" or the "Company"), a leading owner of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests in over 133,000 gross wells across 28 states, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Q4 2025 run-rate daily production of 25,627 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day (6:1)
- Q4 2025 oil, natural gas and NGL revenues of $76.0 million
- Q4 2025 net income of $24.8 million and net income attributable to common units of $19.2 million
- Q4 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $64.8 million
- As of December 31, 2025, Kimbell's major properties2 had 7.09 net drilled but uncompleted wells ("DUCs") and net permitted locations on its acreage (4.66 net DUCs and 2.43 net permitted locations) compared to an estimated 6.8 net wells needed to maintain flat production
- As of December 31, 2025, Kimbell had 85 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, representing 16% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time
- Proved developed reserves increased by approximately 8% year-over-year to a record of nearly 73 million Boe, reflecting continued development bolstered by acquired reserves
- On December 16, 2025, Kimbell amended and extended its secured revolving credit facility through December 16, 2030, reaffirming borrowing base and elected commitments of $625 million and lowering its cost of bank debt financing by a combined 35 basis points
- Announced a Q4 2025 cash distribution of $0.37 per common unit, reflecting a payout ratio of 75% of cash available for distribution; implies a 10.5% annualized yield based on the February 25, 2026 closing price of $14.13 per common unit; Kimbell intends to utilize the remaining 25% of its cash available for distribution to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility
- Initiated full year 2026 guidance with estimated daily production at its mid-point projected at 25,500 Boe/d for the year with a high-end projection of 27,000 Boe/d and low-end projection of 24,000 Boe/d; unchanged from 2025 production guidance range
Robert Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, Kimbell's general partner (the "General Partner"), commented: "2025 was another outstanding year for Kimbell. In Q1 2025, we closed the $230 million acquisition of mineral and royalty interests in properties located under the historic Mabee Ranch in the Midland Basin, further bolstering the Permian Basin as our leading basin in terms of production, active rig count, DUCs, permits and undrilled inventory. In Q2 2025, we redeemed 50% of the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units, further simplifying our capital structure and lowering our cost of capital. During the year, we paid out $1.60 per common unit in quarterly distributions, 100% of which was considered return of capital and not subject to dividend income taxes. We paid down approximately $57.4 million on our credit facility during 2025 by allocating 25% of cash available for distribution for debt paydown. Finally, proved developed reserves increased by approximately 8% to a record of nearly 73 million Boe.
"I am also pleased to report that Q4 2025 production grew organically from Q3 2025 and exceeded the mid-point of guidance. Furthermore, today we are initiating 2026 operational guidance with production guidance at the upper and lower bands, as well as the midpoint, unchanged from our 2025 guidance range, which reflects the ongoing development, diversity and stability of our production base. Activity on our acreage remains robust with 85 rigs actively drilling on our acreage, representing 16.1% market share of all rigs drilling in the lower 48. Line-of-site wells continue to exceed maintenance level, giving us confidence in the resilience of production as we progress through 2026.
"2025 was a year of major milestones in the public oil and natural gas royalty sector, with significant M&A across our U.S. peer group. As evidenced by our track record of ongoing acquisition activity, we expect to continue our role as a major consolidator in the highly fragmented U.S. oil and natural gas royalty sector, which we estimate to be over $650 billion in size. We believe that we are still in the early stages of this consolidation and will actively seek out targets that fit within our acquisition profile. We are very excited about the opportunities to expand in the future and to deliver unitholder value for years to come."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Distribution and Debt Repayment
Today, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board of Directors") approved a cash distribution payment to common unitholders of 75% of cash available for distribution for the fourth quarter of 2025, or $0.37 per common unit. The distribution will be payable on March 25, 2026 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2026. Kimbell plans to utilize the remaining 25% of cash available for distribution for the fourth quarter of 2025 to pay down approximately $13.4 million of the outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility.
Kimbell expects that approximately 100% of its fourth quarter 2025 distribution should not constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead are estimated to constitute non-taxable reductions to the basis of each distribution recipient's ownership interest in Kimbell common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders' capital gain (or decrease unitholders' capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. The Form 8937 containing additional information may be found at www.kimbellrp.com under "Investor Relations" section of the site. Kimbell currently believes that the portion that constitutes dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on the income level and tax filing status of a unitholder for 2026. Kimbell believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information, but they are subject to change.
Financial Highlights
Kimbell's fourth quarter 2025 average realized price per Bbl of oil was $58.24, per Mcf of natural gas was $2.86, per Bbl of NGLs was $19.68 and per Boe combined was $30.59.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company's total revenues were $82.5 million, net income was $24.8 million and net income attributable to common units was approximately $19.2 million, or $0.21 per common unit.
Total fourth quarter 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $64.8 million (consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures at the end of this news release).
In the fourth quarter of 2025, G&A expense was $10.4 million, $6.2 million of which was Cash G&A expense, or $2.63 per BOE (Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see definition under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Supplemental Schedules included in this news release). Unit-based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2025, which is a non-cash G&A expense, was $4.2 million or $1.77 per Boe.
On December 16, 2025, Kimbell amended its existing credit agreement to, among other things, reaffirm borrowing base and elected commitments of $625 million, lower its cost of bank debt financing by a combined 35 basis points (reduced pricing grid by 25 basis points and removed 10 basis point Credit Spread Adjustment) and extend the maturity to December 16, 2030.
As of December 31, 2025, Kimbell had approximately $441.5 million in debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility, had net debt to fourth quarter 2025 trailing twelve month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 1.5x and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its secured revolving credit facility. Kimbell had approximately $183.5 million in undrawn capacity under its secured revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, Kimbell had outstanding 93,396,488 common units and 14,491,540 Class B units. As of February 26, 2026, Kimbell had outstanding 94,613,478 common units and 14,491,540 Class B units.
Production
Fourth quarter 2025 average daily production was 26,643 Boe per day (6:1), which consisted of 1,016 Boe per day related to prior period production recognized in Q4 2025, and 25,627 Boe per day of run-rate production. The 25,627 Boe per day of run-rate production was composed of approximately 48% from natural gas (6:1) and approximately 52% from liquids (31% from oil and 21% from NGLs). The prior period production recognized in Q4 2025 was attributable to past production that came into pay status during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Operational Update
As of December 31, 2025, Kimbell's major properties had 900 gross (4.66 net) DUCs and 628 gross (2.43 net) permitted locations on its acreage. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, Kimbell had 85 rigs actively drilling on its acreage, which represents an approximate 16.1% market share of all land rigs drilling in the continental United States as of such time.

(1) These figures pertain only to Kimbell's major properties and do not include possible additional DUCs and permits from Kimbell's minor properties, which generally have a net revenue interest of 0.1% or below and are time consuming to quantify but, in the estimation of Kimbell's management, could add an additional 15% to Kimbell's net inventory. |
Reserves
Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared an estimate of Kimbell's proved reserves as of December 31, 2025. Average prices of $65.34 per barrel of oil and $3.39 per MMBtu of natural gas were used in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Realized prices with applicable differentials were $63.88 per barrel of oil, $2.41 per Mcf of natural gas and $19.17 per barrel of NGLs.
Proved developed reserves at year-end 2025 increased by approximately 8% year-over-year to nearly 73 MMBoe, reflecting continued development by the operators of Kimbell's acreage and acquisition activity.

Supplemental Schedules
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures by management and external users of Kimbell's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Kimbell believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate Kimbell's operating performance and compare the results of Kimbell's operations period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay distributions to Kimbell's unitholders. Kimbell defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash unit based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Kimbell excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within Kimbell's industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Kimbell's computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Kimbell expects that cash available for distribution for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.
Kimbell believes Cash G&A and Cash G&A per Boe are useful metrics because they isolate cash costs within overall G&A expense and measure cash costs relative to overall production, which is a widely utilized metric to evaluate operational performance within the energy sector. Cash G&A is defined as general and administrative expenses less unit-based compensation expense. Cash G&A per Boe is defined as Cash G&A divided by total production for a period.
