Enduro Royalty Trust

Announces Monthly Cash Distribution

AUSTIN, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)— April 17, 2014

Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.032496 per unit, payable on May 14, 2014 to unitholders of record on April 30, 2014. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of January 2014 and natural gas production during December 2013.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month distributions.

 

     Underlying Sales Volumes      Average Price  
     Oil
(Bbls)
     Natural Gas
(Mcf)

Current Month

     74,106         528,824       $ 90.00       $ 4.21   

Prior Month

     68,239         448,645       $ 91.07       $ 3.80   

Oil cash receipts increased $0.5 million from the prior month and totaled $6.7 million as a result of increased production. Natural gas receipts also increased $0.5 million from the prior month and totaled $2.2 million as a result of increased prices, production and timing of production payments. Approximately $0.2 million of the increase in natural gas receipts is related to the timing of cash receipts for previous production months. The current distribution represents the restoration of production volumes as oil and natural gas cash receipts for the prior two months’ distributions were negatively impacted by severe winter weather in the Permian Basin that adversely affected oil and natural gas production volumes in the area.

Although oil and natural gas production increased compared to the prior month distribution period, none of the growth is related to the Permian Basin Wolfcamp drilling program. As the current month distribution represents January 2014 oil sales, revenues from the Wolfcamp program are not yet included in the distribution. The first 3 wells (Rocker B 40H, 41H, and 42H) came online at the end of February and, as a result, March was the first full month of production. Enduro anticipates revenue from these wells to be included in the distribution by July.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution were approximately $4.2 million, which relates to capital expenditures incurred in February. Capital expenditures primarily relate to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. The Rocker B 40H, 41H, and 42H were completed in early February and drilling was underway on the Rocker B 43H, 44H, 45H and 46H in February.

 


Wolfcamp Activity Update

Enduro continues to receive drilling proposals from Pioneer Natural Resources for the 2014 Wolfcamp drilling program. Of the 25 gross wells anticipated to be drilled in 2014, Enduro has received drilling proposals for 13 gross wells, of which 3 are currently producing, 6 are drilling, 2 are waiting on completion, and 2 are waiting to be spud. There have not been any additional wells completed since the update provided last month.
