NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES THE
NET INCOME FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2019

Red Bank, N.J.  November 15, 2019  -  North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) reported the net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 which appears below compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Total royalty income includes adjustments made by the operating companies based upon their corrected royalty calculations for prior periods.

4th Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/2019 4th Fiscal Quarter Ended 10/31/2018 Percentage Change
Total Royalty Income $1,660,135 $1,474,191 + 12.61%
Net Income $1,516,063 $1,324,902 + 14.43%
Distributions per Unit $0.16 $0.15 +  6.67%

The Trust receives nearly all of its royalties under two royalty agreements. The Mobil Agreement, the higher royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the western half of the Oldenburg concession. The OEG Agreement, the lower royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the entire Oldenburg concession. The factors determining the amount of gas royalties payable under the two agreements from the preceding calendar quarter are shown in the table below comparing the third calendar quarters of 2019 and 2018. Further details will be available in the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K which will be available through the SEC or on the Trust's website, www.neort.com, on or about December 30, 2019.
