NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.    Organization and Description of Business Segments

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 869,000 surface acres of land, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”) for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin.

Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales.

On January 11, 2021, we completed our reorganization from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”), organized under a Declaration of Trust dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporate Reorganization”).

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had authorized shares consisting of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and 7,756,156 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). On March 1, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated to provide that the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company be increased to 47,536,936 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 46,536,936 shares of Common Stock.

Common Stock Split

On March 26, 2024, we effected a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend of two shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock outstanding to stockholders of record as of March 18, 2024. All shares, stock awards, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. The three-for-one stock split was not applied to shares held as treasury stock. The shares of Common Stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common Stock.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such adjustments are of a normal nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this Quarterly Report, and these interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the interim periods shown in this Quarterly Report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

We operate our business in two segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of TPL and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. See Note 13, “Business Segment Reporting” for further information regarding our segments.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider investments in bank deposits, money market funds, and other highly-liquid cash investments, such as U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are considered Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that correspond to the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

7.    Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants share-based compensation to employees under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and to its non-employee directors under the 2021 Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2021 Directors Plan” and, with the 2021 Plan, collectively referred to herein as the “Plans”). In conjunction with the three-for-one stock split effected on March 26, 2024, the Plans were adjusted to increase the authorized number of shares that may be issued under the Plans. As of June 30, 2024, share-based compensation granted under the Plans has included these award types: stock awards, RSAs, RSUs and PSUs. Currently, all awards granted under the plans are entitled to receive dividends (which are accrued and distributed to award recipients upon vesting) or have dividend equivalent rights. Dividends and dividend equivalent rights are subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards to which they relate and are forfeitable if the related awards are forfeited. RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan vest in one-third increments and PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan cliff vest at the end of three years if the performance metrics are achieved (as discussed further below). RSAs granted prior to October 31, 2023 under the 2021 Directors Plan vested on the first anniversary of the award. Effective October 31, 2023, the 2021 Directors Plan was amended such that stock awards granted vest in full on the date of grant.

Incentive Plan for Employees

The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 225,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of June 30, 2024, 136,238 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Plan for future grants.

If the maximum amount of the performance metrics described in the PSU agreements are achieved, the actual number of shares that will ultimately be awarded under the PSU agreements will exceed target PSUs by 100% (i.e., a collective 12,738 additional shares would be issued).

(2)The PSUs were granted on February 13, 2024 and include 4,170 RTSR PSUs (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $602 per share and 4,170 FCF PSUs (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $475 per share. If the maximum amount of the performance metrics described in the PSU agreements are achieved, the actual number of shares that will ultimately be awarded under the PSU agreements will exceed target PSUs by 100% (i.e., a collective 8,340 additional shares would be issued).

Each PSU has a value equal to one share of Common Stock. The PSUs will vest three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the applicable three-year measurement period compared to the SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (“XOP Index”), and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative free cash flow per share (“FCF”) over the three-year vesting period. Because the RTSR PSU is a market-based award, its grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the XOP Index (i.e., the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the award). Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a

8

period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.

Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Directors Plan is 30,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of June 30, 2024, 24,219 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Directors Plan for future grants.

The following table summarizes activity related to the RSAs under the 2021 Directors Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
	Number of RSAs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share		Number of RSAs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Nonvested at beginning of period	1,134	$	781	2,097	$	427

Nonvested at end of period	—	$	—	1,458	$	781

(1)RSAs granted prior to October 31, 2023 vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

In January 2024, the Company granted a total of 2,160 shares of Common Stock with a grant date fair value of $524 per share, which was the closing price of its Common Stock on the date of grant, to the members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The stock awards were vested in full on the date of grant.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes our share-based compensation expense by line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Salaries and related employee expenses (employee awards)	$	2,700	$	2,559	$	4,920	$	4,715

Total share-based compensation expense (1)	$	2,700	$	2,850	$	6,054	$	5,323

(1)The Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.6 million related to share-based compensation for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $1.3 million and $1.1 million related to share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $14.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under existing share-based plans expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

8.    Other Income, Net

Other income, net, includes interest earned on our cash balances, other employee pension costs, and miscellaneous income (expense).

Other income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

(1)During the three months ended June 30, 2024, miscellaneous income (expense), net includes $1.9 million of proceeds from a settlement with a title company regarding a defect in title to property acquired in a prior year.

9.    Income Taxes

The calculation of our effective tax rate was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Income before income taxes	$	146,442		$	127,151		$	292,426		$	237,492
Income tax expense	$	31,853		$	26,758		$	63,420		$	50,531
Effective tax rate	21.8		%	21.0		%	21.7		%	21.3		%

For interim periods, our income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions, and other items.

10.    Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus unvested restricted stock and other unvested awards granted pursuant to our incentive and equity compensation plans. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all outstanding awards under the incentive and equity compensation plans were converted into shares of Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of Common Stock that would then share in the earnings of the Company. The number of dilutive securities is computed using the treasury stock method.

10

The following table sets forth the computation of EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income	$	114,589	$	100,393	$	229,006	$	186,961
Basic earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	22,987,971		23,056,986		22,995,486		23,068,056
Basic earnings per share	$	4.99	$	4.35	$	9.96	$	8.10
Diluted earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	22,987,971		23,056,986		22,995,486		23,068,056
Effect of dilutive securities:
Incentive and equity compensation plans	25,822		15,865		22,827		15,587
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share	23,013,793		23,072,851		23,018,313		23,083,643
Diluted earnings per share	$	4.98	$	4.35	$	9.95	$	8.10

Restricted stock, if any, is included in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, but omitted from the basic EPS calculation until such time as the shares of restricted stock vest. Certain stock awards granted are not included in the dilutive securities in the table above as they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. There were no anti-dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of June 30, 2024, other than as described below.

Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. In order to protect the historical royalty interests from any potential tax liens for non-payment of ad valorem taxes, we have accrued and/or paid such ad valorem taxes since January 1, 2022. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party for such taxes, we are unable to estimate the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of June 30, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2022, our Board approved a stock repurchase program, which became effective January 1, 2023, to purchase up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our outstanding Common Stock.

The Company opportunistically repurchases stock under the stock repurchase program with funds generated by cash from operations. This stock repurchase program may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by

12

the Board at any time. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made through a combination of open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions, and/or other transactions at the Company’s discretion, including under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan implemented by the Company, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased shares of our Common Stock in amounts totaling $16.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively.

Declaration of Special Cash Dividend

On June 13, 2024, the Board declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $10.00 per share of Common Stock. The special cash dividend was paid on July 15, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2024.

13.    Business Segment Reporting

During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.

The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing our approximate 869,000 surface acres of land and our approximate 195,000 NRA of oil and gas royalty interests, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment consist primarily of royalties from oil and gas, revenues from easements and commercial leases, and land and material sales.

The Water Services and Operations segment encompasses the business of providing a full-service water offering to operators in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment primarily consist of revenue generated from sales of sourced and treated water as well as revenue from produced water royalties.

14.    Oil and Gas Producing Activities

We measure our share of oil and gas produced in barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”). One Boe equals one barrel of crude oil, condensate, NGLs (natural gas liquids) or approximately 6,000 cubic feet of gas. For each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 24.9 thousand Boe per day. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 24.9 and 22.9 thousand Boe per day, respectively. Reserves related to our royalty interests are not presented because the information is unavailable.

There are a number of oil and gas wells that have been drilled but are not yet completed (“DUC”) where we have a royalty interest. The number of DUC wells is determined using uniform drilling spacing units with pooled interests for all wells

14

awaiting completion. We have identified 635 and 675 DUC wells subject to our royalty interest (an estimated 9.5 and 9.7 net DUC wells) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

15.    Subsequent Events

We evaluated events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued, and the following events that met recognition or disclosure criteria were identified:

Dividends Declared

On August 6, 2024, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.17 per share, payable on September 17, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 3, 2024.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024 and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Period-to-period comparisons of financial data are not necessarily indicative, and therefore, should not be relied upon as indicators, of the Company’s future performance.

Overview

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 869,000 surface acres of land, with the majority of our ownership concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”), for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin.

The Company was originally organized under a Declaration of Trust, dated February 1, 1888, to receive and hold title to extensive tracts of land in the State of Texas, previously the property of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. We completed our reorganization on January 11, 2021 from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust, into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

We are not an oil and gas producer. Our business activity is generated from surface and royalty interest ownership, primarily in the Permian Basin. Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales. Due to the nature of our operations and concentration of our ownership in one geographic location, our revenue and net income are subject to substantial fluctuations from quarter to quarter and year to year. In addition to fluctuations in response to changes in the market price for oil and gas, our financial results are also subject to decisions by the owners and operators of not only the oil and gas wells to which our oil and gas royalty interests relate, but also to other owners and operators in the Permian Basin as it relates to our other revenue streams, principally water sales, produced water royalties, easements, and other surface-related revenue.

For a further overview of our business and business segments, see Item 1. “Business — General” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Market Conditions

Average oil prices during 2024 have increased modestly compared to average oil prices during the same period last year. Oil prices continue to be impacted by certain actions by OPEC+, geopolitics, and evolving global supply and demand trends, among other factors. Average natural gas prices during 2024 have decreased compared to average natural gas prices during the same period last year. Global and domestic natural gas markets have experienced volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure and logistical constraints, weather, and geopolitics, among other factors. Since mid-2022, the Waha Hub located in Pecos County, Texas has at times experienced significant negative price differentials relative to Henry Hub, located in Erath, Louisiana, due in part to growing local Permian natural gas production and limited natural gas pipeline takeaway capacity. Waha natural gas prices were negative throughout April and May 2024. Midstream infrastructure is currently under construction by operators to provide additional takeaway capacity, though the impact on future basis differentials will be dependent on future natural gas production and other factors. Changes in global and domestic macro-economic conditions could result in additional shifts in oil and gas supply and demand in future periods. Although our revenues are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in oil and natural gas prices, we believe our royalty interests (which require no capital expenditures or operating expense burden from us for well development), strong balance sheet, and liquidity position will help us navigate through potential commodity price volatility.

Permian Basin Activity

The Permian Basin is one of the oldest and most well-known hydrocarbon-producing areas and currently accounts for a substantial portion of oil and gas production in the United States, covering approximately 86,000 square miles across southeastern New Mexico and western Texas. Exploration and production (“E&P”) companies operating in the Permian Basin continue to maintain robust drilling and development activity. Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Permian production is currently in excess of 6.0 million barrels per day, which is higher than the average daily production in this region for any year prior to 2024.

Due to our ownership concentration in the Permian Basin, our revenues are directly impacted by oil and gas pricing and drilling activity in the Permian Basin. Below are metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

The metrics above show selected domestic benchmark oil and natural gas prices and approximate activity levels in the Permian Basin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Oil prices in 2024 to date have increased compared to the same period in 2023, while natural gas prices in 2024 to date have declined compared to the same period last year. E&P companies broadly continue to deploy capital at a measured pace as drilling and development activities across the Permian Basin have remained strong overall. As we are a significant landowner in the Permian Basin and not an oil and gas producer, our revenue is affected by the development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own royalty interests and land. Accordingly, these decisions made by others affect, both directly and indirectly, our oil and gas royalties, produced water royalties, water sales, and other surface-related income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash flows generated from our operations. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for capital expenditures related to our Water Services and Operations segment (the extent and timing of which are under our control), working capital and general corporate needs.

We continuously review our levels of liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change and our revenues were to decline significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding. We have no debt or credit facilities, nor any off-balance sheet arrangements, as of June 30, 2024.

As we evaluate our current capital structure, capital allocation priorities, business fundamentals, and investment opportunities, we have set a target cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $700 million. Above this target, we will seek to deploy the majority of our free cash flow towards share repurchases and dividends. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $894.7 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to support our business, to repurchase our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to market conditions, to pay dividends subject to the discretion of our board of directors (the “Board”), for potential acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $53.8 million in dividends to our stockholders and we repurchased $16.6 million of our Common Stock (including share repurchases not settled at the end of the period).

In June 2024, the Board declared a special cash dividend of $10.00 per share of Common Stock. The special cash dividend was paid on July 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of July 1, 2024.

In May 2024, we announced our progress towards developing innovative solutions for produced water in the Permian Basin. Over the last few years, we have been working with a leading industrial technology and manufacturing firm to develop an energy-efficient desalination and treatment process and associated equipment that can recycle produced water into fresh water with quality standards appropriate for surface discharge and beneficial reuse. With the Permian generating approximately 18 million barrels of produced water per day, this technology would provide an attractive and critical alternative to subsurface injection. TPL has successfully tested a pilot program in our research and development lab, and we are now working towards the next phase of constructing a facility with an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels of water per day. TPL filed an application patent for the desalination and treatment process and has secured exclusive use-rights for the equipment towards produced water applications. We are also in commercial discussions with the largest, most active oil and gas upstream operators as we look to provide critical, technology-driven solutions while also optimizing TPL’s economic interests and limiting capital expense. Cumulatively through June 30, 2024, we have spent $7.1 million on this new energy-efficient desalination and treatment process and equipment, of which $4.2 million has been capitalized ($3.6 million of which was capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2024).

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we invested approximately $8.4 million to maintain and/or enhance our water sourcing assets.

We believe that cash from operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents balances, will be sufficient to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $245.5 million and $199.3 million, respectively. Our cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily from oil, gas and produced water

18

royalties, water and land sales, easements, and other surface-related income. Cash flows used in operations generally consist of operating expenses associated with our revenue streams, general and administrative expenses and income taxes.

The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in operating income and changes in working capital requirements during 2024 as compared to 2023.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $9.6 million and $27.7 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in investing activities are primarily related to land acquisitions, acquisitions of intangible assets, such as subsurface easements, and capital expenditures related to our water services and operations segment.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $12.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. For further information regarding capital expenditures, see “Overview” above. Acquisitions of land totaled $1.0 million and $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For further information regarding acquisitions of land, see Note 3, “Real Estate Activity” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $71.7 million and $77.3 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in financing activities primarily consist of activities that return capital to our stockholders such as payment of dividends and repurchases of our Common Stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we paid total dividends of $53.8 million and $50.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased $16.6 million and $26.2 million of our Common Stock, respectively (including share repurchases not settled at the end of the period).

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:

Total revenues increased 7.3%, to $172.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $160.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was principally related to a $7.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue, a $4.5 million increase in produced water royalties, and a $3.0 million increase in water sales partially offset by decreases in easements and other surface-related income and land sales over the same period. Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.” Net income of $114.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 14.1% higher than the comparable period of 2023 principally as a result of the increase in revenues discussed above.

Consolidated Expenses:

Salaries and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.6 million for the comparable period of 2023. The increase in salaries and related employee expenses is principally related to market compensation adjustments that take effect annually at the start of the year.

Water service-related expenses. Water service-related expenses increased $4.5 million to $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Certain types of water-related expenses, including, but not limited to, treatment, transfer, water purchases, repairs and maintenance, equipment rental, and fuel costs, will vary from period to period as our customers’ needs and requirements change. Right of way and other expenses will also vary from period to period depending upon location of customer delivery. The increase in water service-related expenses for the three months

20

ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 is principally related to increased water sales volumes as well as a focus on increasing water production from existing wells, which impacts repairs and maintenance expense, equipment rental and fuel costs. Additionally, research and development expenses related to development of a new energy-efficient method of produced water desalination and treatment were $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For further discussion of this new treatment method, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Overview.”

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees were $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.2 million for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease is principally related to a reduction in legal expenses associated with stockholder matters that occurred during the prior year.

Other income, net. Other income, net was $13.2 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other income, net is primarily related to increased interest income earned on our cash balances during 2024 resulting from higher cash balances and higher interest rates during this period. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we received $1.9 million of proceeds from a settlement with a title company regarding a defect in title to property acquired in a prior year.

Total income tax expense. Total income tax expense was $31.9 million and $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased consolidated revenues.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:

Total revenues increased to $346.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $307.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was principally due to an $18.4 million increase in water sales, a $10.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue, and a $7.3 million increase in produced water royalties over the same period. Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.” Net income of $229.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 22.5% higher than the comparable period of 2023, principally as a result of the increase in revenues discussed above.

Consolidated Expenses:

Salaries and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $25.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $21.2 million for the same period of 2023. This increase in salaries and related employee expenses is principally related to an increase in market compensation adjustments that take effect annually at the start of the year.

Water service-related expenses. Water service-related expenses increased $9.1 million to $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Certain types of water-related expenses, including, but not limited to, treatment, transfer, water purchases, repairs and maintenance, equipment rental, and fuel costs, will vary from period to period as our customers’ needs and requirements change. Right of way and other expenses will also vary from period to period depending upon location of customer delivery. The increase in water service-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is principally related to the 31.0% increase in water sales over the same period of 2023 primarily as a result of increased customer volumes. Additionally, a focus on increasing water production from existing wells resulted in increased repairs and maintenance expense, equipment rental, and fuel costs. Research and development expenses related to development of a new energy-efficient method of produced water desalination and treatment were $1.4 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For further discussion of this new treatment method, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Overview.”

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, stock awards that were vested in full on the grant date were granted to members of the Board which resulted in immediate recognition of the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. See further discussion of this change in Note 7, “Share-Based Compensation” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The increased board compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulting from this policy change is a one-time event. Additionally, expenses for corporate insurance, resulting from increased coverages and insurance rates, and technology applications for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased over the same period of 2023.

21

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees were $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $26.8 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease is principally related to a reduction in legal expenses associated with stockholder matters that occurred during the prior year.

Other income, net. Other income, net was $23.2 million and $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other income, net is primarily related to increased interest income earned on our cash balances during 2024 resulting from higher cash balances and interest rates during this period. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received $1.9 million of proceeds from a settlement with a title company regarding a defect in title to property acquired in a prior year.

Total income tax expense. Total income tax expense was $63.4 million and $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased consolidated revenues.

Segment Results of Operations

We operate our business in two reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.

We evaluate the performance of our operating segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. The reportable segments presented are consistent with our reportable segments discussed in Note 13, “Business Segment Reporting” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We monitor our reporting segments based upon revenue and net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 continue to benefit from activity in the Permian Basin. Our oil and gas royalty revenues have increased due to year to date increased royalty production. Additionally, revenues derived from water sales, produced water royalties, and easements and other surface-related income have also been positively impacted by our active management of our surface and royalty interests in recent years.

Total consolidated net income	$	114,589	100	%	$	100,393	100	%

Land and Resource Management

Land and Resource Management segment revenues increased $2.7 million to $104.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in Land and Resource Management segment revenues is related to a $7.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue, partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in easements and other surface-related income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Oil and gas royalties. Oil and gas royalty revenue was $89.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $82.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 9.0%. Oil and gas royalties increased $7.4 million due to higher realized oil and NGLs (natural gas liquids) pricing for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The average realized price increased 8.9% to $41.44 per barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $38.04 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our share of production was 24.9 thousand per Boe per day for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Equivalents ($/Boe)	$	41.44	$	38.04

(1)Commonly used definitions in the oil and gas industry not previously defined: MBbls represents one thousand barrels of crude oil, condensate or NGLs. Mcf represents one thousand cubic feet of natural gas. MMcf represents one million cubic feet of natural gas. MBoe represents one thousand Boe. MBoe/d represents one thousand Boe per day.

Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Easements and other surface-related income includes revenue related to the use and crossing of our land for oil and gas exploration and production, renewable energy, and agricultural operations. The decrease in easements and other surface-related income is principally related to decreases of $1.6 million in wellbore easements and $0.6 million in material sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Easements and other surface-related income is dependent on development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own land and is, therefore, unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period. See “Market Conditions” above for additional discussion of development activity in the Permian Basin during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net income. Net income for the Land and Resource Management segment increased 15.1% to $80.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $69.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating income increased $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, largely driven by the $7.9 million decrease in legal and professional fees and the $2.7 million increase in segment revenues. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”

Water Services and Operations

Water Services and Operations segment revenues increased 15.2% to $68.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with revenues of $59.3 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in Water Services and Operations segment revenues is principally due to increases in water sales revenue and produced water royalties, which are discussed below. As discussed in “Market Conditions” above, our segment revenues are directly influenced by development decisions made by our customers and the overall activity level in the Permian Basin. Accordingly, our segment revenues and sales volumes, as further discussed below, will fluctuate from period to period based upon those decisions and activity levels.

24

Water sales. Water sales revenue increased $3.0 million to $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023. The growth in water sales is principally due to an increase of 9.5% in water sales volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023.

Produced water royalties. Produced water royalties are received from the transfer or disposal of produced water on our land. Produced water royalties are contractual and not paid as a matter of right. We do not operate any salt water disposal wells. Produced water royalties were $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $20.8 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is principally due to increased produced water volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in easements and other surface-related income primarily relates to an increase in temporary permits for sourced water lines for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Net income. Net income for the Water Services and Operations segment was $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $30.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating income increased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The increase is principally due to the $9.0 million increase in segment revenues partially offset by the $4.5 million increase in water service-related expenses. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”

Land and Resource Management

Land and Resource Management segment revenues increased $10.2 million to $215.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with $205.3 million for the comparable period of 2023. The increase in Land and Resource Management segment revenues is principally due to the $10.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Oil and gas royalties. Oil and gas royalty revenue was $181.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $171.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.4 million. Oil and gas royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included an $8.7 million recovery with an operator with respect to unpaid oil and gas royalties for older production periods. Excluding the impact of the $8.7 million recovery on 2023 revenue, oil and gas royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $19.1 million over the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher production volumes and average oil and NGL realized prices over the same periods. Our share of production increased to 24.9 thousand Boe per day for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 22.9 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2023. The average realized prices increased to $42.07 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $41.08 per Boe for the same period of 2023.

The table below provides financial and operational data by royalty stream for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

(1)The metrics and dollars provided for the six months ended June 30, 2023 exclude the impact of the $8.7 million settlement of oil and gas royalties discussed above.

Net income. Net income for the Land and Resource Management segment increased $26.1 million to $161.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $135.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating income increased $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, largely driven by the $20.3 million decrease in legal and professional fees and the $10.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations — Consolidated.”

Water Services and Operations

Water Services and Operations segment revenues increased 28.9% to $131.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared with revenues of $101.6 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in Water Services and Operations segment revenues is principally due to increases in water sales revenue and produced water royalties, which are discussed below. As discussed in “Market Conditions” above, our segment revenues are directly influenced by development decisions made by our customers and the overall activity level in the Permian Basin. Accordingly, our segment revenues and sales volumes, as further discussed below, will fluctuate from period to period based upon those decisions and activity levels.

26

Water sales. Water sales revenue increased $18.4 million, or 31.0% to $77.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The growth in water sales is principally due to an increase of 25.5% in water sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Produced water royalties. Produced water royalties are royalties received from the transfer or disposal of produced water on our land. Produced water royalties are contractual and not paid as a matter of right. We do not operate any salt water disposal wells. Produced water royalties were $48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $41.0 million for the comparable period of 2023. This increase is principally due to increased produced water volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in easements and other surface-related income primarily relates to an increase in temporary permits for sourced water lines for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Net income. Net income for the Water Services and Operations segment was $67.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $52.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating income increased $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The increase is principally due to the $29.3 million increase in segment revenues and was partially offset by the $9.1 million increase in water service-related expenses. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations — Consolidated.”

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

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

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement 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. Its purpose 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. Its purpose 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 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

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