PermRock Royalty Trust

Declares Monthly Cash Distribution

DALLAS, Texas, December 20, 2024 – 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 December 31, 2024, and payable on January 15, 2025, in the amount of $612,260.75 ($0.050326 per Trust Unit), based principally upon production during the month of October 2024.

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:

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $1.75 million for the current month, an increase of $0.20 million from the prior month’s distribution period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil sales prices and volumes.

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.07 million for the current month, a slight increase of $0.02 million from the prior month’s distribution period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in natural gas sales prices.

Total direct operating expenses, including marketing, lease operating expenses, and workover expenses, were $0.59 million, a decrease of $0.14 million from the prior month’s distribution period. Severance and ad valorem taxes included in this month’s net profits calculation were $74,108, an increase of $108,984 from last month when an ad valorem tax credit of $(100,000) was applied to offset non-operated ad valorem charges that were included in lease operating expenses.

Capital expenses were $0.11 million, a decrease of $0.60 million from the prior month’s distribution period. Boaz Energy reports the decrease was primarily related to the conclusion of recompletion projects in Permian Clearfork and Permian Platform, as well as to costs related to preparation for a non-operated drill well in Permian Shelf in the prior month.

Boaz Energy informed the Trust that this month’s net profits calculation included $32,000 net to the Trust of funds reserved by Boaz Energy to cover future capital obligations and expenses.

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 volatility in commodity prices and oversupply. 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.
