SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR MARCH 2020
Dallas, Texas, March 6, 2020 Simmons Bank, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.236560 per unit, payable on March 30, 2020, to unit holders of record on March 16, 2020. Sabines cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for December 2019 and the gas production for November 2019. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 44,747 barrels of oil and 815,061 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $57.73 per barrel of oil and $2.04 per Mcf of gas.
The table below compares this months production and prices to the previous months:
Net to Trust Sales | ||||||||||||||||
Volumes | Average Price | |||||||||||||||
Oil (bbls) | Gas (Mcf) | Oil (per bbl) | Gas (per Mcf) | |||||||||||||
Current Month |
44,747 | 815,061 | $ | 57.73 | $ | 2.04 | ||||||||||
Prior Month |
52,480 | 595,731 | $ | 55.54 | $ | 1.87 |
Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.
Due to the timing of the end of the month of February, approximately $1,114,655 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of March in addition to normal receipts during March. Since the close of business in February and prior to this press release, approximately $2,704,000 in revenue has been received.
The 2019 tax information packets were mailed directly to unitholders as of February 28. A copy of Sabines 2019 tax information booklet is available on Sabines website. In addition to the tax booklet the Sabine website also has available two simple calculators for computing the income and expense amounts and the cost depletion.
The 2018 Annual Report with Form 10-K with the January 1, 2019 Reserve Summary and current 2019 quarterly reports are now available on Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
