“Fourth quarter 2024 represented a strong finish to a year full of milestones and accomplishments for TPL,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “In the quarter, we delivered record oil and gas royalty production and produced water royalty volumes. For the full year 2024, TPL set annual records across nearly every major performance metric, including oil and gas royalty production, water sales volumes and revenues, produced water royalty volumes and revenues, net income and free cash flow per share. Throughout 2024, we deployed over $400 million towards accretive, high-quality royalty interests and surface assets, providing an incremental growth tailwind.

"Beyond our legacy business, we are keenly pursuing various next-gen growth prospects and continue to advance commercial discussions across numerous opportunities. In addition, construction has begun on our sub-scale produced water desalination test facility, and we remain on-track for a mid-2025 completion. Furthermore, there remains a compelling opportunity to consolidate an enormous, yet fragmented market for oil and gas royalties, surface, and water assets. With our unmatched footprint overlapping premier hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon natural resources, TPL remains well-positioned to drive accretive growth.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2024 - Sequential

The Company reported net income of $118.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $106.6 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $185.8 million compared to $173.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in easements and other surface-related income and a $2.5 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue compared to the third quarter of 2024. The Company’s share of production was 29.1 thousand Boe per day for the fourth quarter of 2024 versus 28.3 thousand Boe per day for the third quarter of 2024, and the average realized price was $37.93 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $38.04 per Boe in the third quarter of 2024. TPL’s revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by its customers.

Total operating expenses were $43.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $46.2 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to a $5.8 million decrease in general and administrative expenses and a $2.4 million decrease in water service-related expenses, partially offset by a $5.7 million increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization during the fourth quarter of 2024 over the same period.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2024

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $705.8 million compared to $631.6 million for the prior year. All revenue streams except land sales, increased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year, with a $38.5 million increase in water sales being the biggest contributor. The growth in water sales was principally due to an increase of 31.0% in water sales volumes for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year. Produced water royalties increased $19.9 million, principally due to increased produced water volumes. Additionally, oil and gas royalty revenue increased $15.9 million, primarily due to higher production volumes for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year. Oil and gas royalty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 included an $8.7 million settlement with an operator with respect to unpaid oil and gas royalties for older production periods. Excluding the impact of the $8.7 million settlement on oil and gas royalty revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, oil and gas royalty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $24.6 million compared to the prior year. The Company’s share of production was 26.8 thousand Boe per day for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus 23.5 thousand
2


Boe per day for the prior year, and the average realized price was $39.87 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus $42.58 per Boe for the prior year. TPL’s revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by its customers.

Total operating expenses were $166.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $145.5 million for the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was principally related to a $12.6 million increase in water service-related expenses, $10.4 million increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization, and a $10.2 million increase in salaries and related employee expenses, partially offset by a $12.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

On February 18, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.60 per share, payable on March 17, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2025.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. These measures are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measures presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measures, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation and less pension curtailment and settlement gain. The pension curtailment and settlement gain is related to a buyout by a third party of defined benefit obligations under our pension plan and the subsequent freezing of our pension plan, both of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024. We have excluded the pension curtailment and settlement gain from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as such gain is a non-recurring item and is not related to our core business. The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. We calculate Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense and capital expenditures. The purpose of presenting Free Cash Flow is to provide an additional measure of operating performance. We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company’s operating performance. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to net income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
