Management will make some prepared comments, after which we will open the call for questions. Now, I will turn the call over to Ty. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:01:43Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Our third quarter 2025 performance underscores the power of our unique business model and active management and consolidation strategy focused on accretively growing our oil and gas royalties, surface, and water assets. This was a record quarter for many of our major revenue and volume performance indicators. Oil and gas royalty production achieved a record of approximately 36,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day, representing a 9% sequential increase and a 28% increase year-over-year. Record water sales of $45 million represent 74% sequential growth and 23% growth year-over-year. Record produced water royalty revenues of $32 million represent 5% sequential growth and a 16% increase year-over-year. In sum, this was the first quarter in TPL's history where we recorded over $200 million of revenue. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:02:42We accomplished all this despite some of the weakest benchmark oil and gas prices the industry has experienced since the COVID pandemic period. Focusing on our oil and gas royalties, production volumes continue to benefit from robust activity in our northern Culberson, northern Reeves, and central Midland subregions. Production growth has been driven by an increase in net wells turned to sales and longer lateral lengths. Average lateral lengths year-to-date in 2025 are approximately 7% longer than last year and 23% longer compared to laterals split in 2019. TPL's portfolio of acquired minerals and royalties is also performing very well. We began acquiring minerals and royalty interests in 2018, and in the third quarter, that portfolio was responsible for 18% of TPL's consolidated royalty production. Combined, the minerals and royalties acquisitions are generating a mid-teens pre-tax cash flow yield. TPL's legacy MPRIs are also performing well with double-digit growth year-over-year. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:03:51Turning to our water services and operations segment, this business rebounded considerably from last quarter. As I mentioned earlier, water sales revenue was a record for third quarter 2025. Although rigs and frac spreads have trended lower, upstream operators continue to prioritize development efficiencies as we see persistent deployment of co-completions and simulfrac and trimulfrac. Our investments in brackish and treated water infrastructure have established TPL as one of the few systems in the Permian capable of accommodating the volume intensity required to keep up with operators. On the produced water royalty side, revenues and volumes continue to perform well. Year-over-year, quarterly revenues and volumes were up 16% and 19%, respectively, as we see strong demand for both in-basin and out-of-basin pore space. Similar to our oil and gas royalties, TPL's water segment has benefited from both organic investment and inorganic growth. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:04:52Since its formation in 2017, we've invested nearly $200 million to build out our source water and recycling infrastructure. We have also acquired approximately $220 million of surface acreage and pore space. These acquisitions were substantially funded by approximately $150 million of 1031 and 33 exchanges and land sales, consisting of acreage that was either non-core or of limited strategic value. In return, since inception, the water segment has generated over $600 million of earnings with $142 million of earnings in the last 12 months. The size and scale of our water segment across both source and produced is one of critical competitive advantages. For source water, it allows us to maintain and grow market share and preserve pricing when the overall industry is pulling back on completions. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:05:47For produced water royalties, our size and scale allow us to grow our market capture, attain strong royalty rates, and meaningfully complement our recycling and water sales efforts. Although commodity prices today are lower than what the industry believes ideal, we consider this current cycle a uniquely attractive opportunity to consolidate high-quality Permian assets. First, current oil prices are well below average historical oil prices. Since 2010, Brent prompt month oil prices have averaged $78 per barrel. Brent prompt month today is around $65. Although we are not in the business of predicting commodity prices over the short term, we do believe that longer-term mid-cycle oil prices will be higher than current spot prices. OPEC reducing spare capacity and bringing barrels back to market has resulted in looser supply and demand balances and, consequently, a weaker price environment. However, longer term, this ultimately will result in healthier market dynamics. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:06:53Despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions over the past year, global liquids demand continues to grow at a steady pace. Oil supply will eventually rationalize in response to pricing signals, albeit the process can unfold slowly as CapEx and development cycles tend to be sticky over the short term. Although we firmly believe that the Permian still has substantial remaining inventory and growth runway, other shale basins that have historically contributed to U.S. supply growth now appear to be in terminal decline. According to the EIA, the Bakken's most recent peak oil production month was in late 2019 at 1.5 MMbpd. Today, the Bakken is down to 1.2 MMbpd. The Eagle Ford's most recent peak oil production month was also in late 2019 at 1.4 MMbpd, whereas today it's 1.1 MMbpd. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:07:50In fact, if you were to exclude the Permian, total U.S. oil production appears to have peaked five years ago and is down about 1 MMbpd from that peak level. Though the U.S. contribution to global oil supply will still benefit from Permian growth, it could likely be offset with increasingly larger declines from non-Permian basins. We suspect that extracting additional global supply will be much harder going forward. The Permian was responsible for virtually all of the world's crude oil supply growth over the last decade. Since the beginning of 2015, global supply growth of crude oil, excluding NGLs and other liquids, has been 4.2 MMbpd. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:08:34Permian crude oil supply growth during that time was 4.8 MMbpd, which implies that, on an aggregate basis, the Permian made up for global crude oil declines over the last decade while also providing all of the incremental growth. With structural liquids demand globally still on a growth trend for the foreseeable future, many key supply regions in structural decline, and OPEC reducing spare capacity, we believe that over the long term there is a very favorable skew towards right-tail high oil price cycles. Despite the low commodity price environment today, TPL still retains abundant access to attractively priced external capital. Last month, TPL closed on its inaugural credit facility with $500 million of lender commitments that accrues interest at SOFR plus a spread of either 225 or 250 basis points, depending on TPL's debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:09:33TPL's first-ever credit facility enhances our liquidity and allows us even greater flexibility towards funding growth opportunities and other general business purposes. The simultaneous occurrence of below mid-cycle commodity prices and a robust supply of low-cost capital has historically been rare and short-lived for oil and gas companies, but currently those elements have aligned for TPL. Because TPL is built and managed towards long-term value creation, we can arbitrage to press valuations for long-duration assets impacted by short-term volatility. It's during these periods where TPL can take advantage of down cycles and opportunistically leverage our resilient business with high cash flow margins and a fortress balance sheet to consolidate high-quality Permian royalty surface and water assets. We can tolerate periods of low commodity prices for assets that will likely generate cash flows for many decades. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:10:35To that end, yesterday we announced acquisitions of Permian oil and gas royalties and surface acreage, which fit seamlessly into the broader TPL portfolio. On November 3, 2025, we acquired approximately 17,300 net royalty acres standardized to a 1/8, located primarily in the Midland Basin in Martin, Howard, and Midland counties. Total purchase price was approximately $474 million. Funded entirely by cash on our balance sheet. Approximately 70% of the acquired interests are adjacent to or overlapping drilling spacing units that TPL already owns, meaning we essentially acquired additional royalties in current and future well locations we already retain an interest in. Approximately 61% of the royalty acreage is operated by ExxonMobil, Diamondback Energy, and Occidental Petroleum. The royalty acquisition currently produces more than 3,700 bbl of oil equivalent per day, with an approximately 80% oil and natural gas liquids cut. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:11:44We expect to generate a double-digit pre-tax cash flow yield at realized oil and natural gas prices of approximately $60 per barrel and $2 per 1,000 cu ft, respectively. In September, we closed on an acquisition of approximately 8,100 surface acres in Martin County, Texas. The surface acquisition is adjacent to land TPL already owns, providing TPL an even larger contiguous block in a strategic area that is prospective for source and produced water, SLAM, and other next-gen commercial opportunities. In conclusion, we're not overly concerned with near-term commodity price volatility. Although TPL's oil and gas royalty revenues remain below the peak from third quarter 2022, it's entirely attributable to lower commodity prices as our royalty production has increased 55% since then. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:12:42We can't make any promises as to if or when commodity prices improve, but as TPL's royalty production has substantially grown both organically and inorganically, TPL retains immense upside leverage to the next oil and gas price up cycle. That potential incremental revenue represents pure inflation-protected margin as our royalties are not burdened by capital costs and most operating expenses. In addition, our water business just had a record quarter as we execute on multiple growth opportunities such as out-of-basin disposal and produced water desalination. Overall, TPL is positioned exceptionally well over the near and long term, and we remain intently focused on exploiting our commercial potential while deploying capital opportunistically as we seek to maximize shareholder returns. With that, I'll hand the call over to Chris. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:13:36Thanks, Ty. For the third quarter of 2025, consolidated total revenue was $203 million, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $174 million. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:13:50Adjusted EBITDA margin was 85%. Free cash flow was $123 million, representing a 15% increase year-over-year. Royalty production this quarter was approximately 36,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The royalty acquisition that we announced with yesterday's earnings release closed after September 30 and did not contribute to the production or revenue for the third quarter 2025. As of quarter end, TPL had 6.1 net permitted wells, 9.9 net drilled but uncompleted wells, and 3.1 net completed but not producing wells. We expect our recent royalty acquisition to add approximately two net wells to our line of sight inventory. Turning to our desalination project, construction continues on our 10,000 bbl per day facility in Orla, Texas. We expect to begin commissioning the facility by the end of the year. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:14:46Once fully commissioned, we will expand our testing process as we seek to evaluate the system's capabilities at scale and assess its performance under a wider variety of operating conditions and water specifications. Our previous CapEx estimates remain unchanged from our last update. On the regulatory front, we have received an additional approved land application pilot permit from the Texas Railroad Commission. This permit allows us to use the facility's treated freshwater output to irrigate land with the aim of restoring native brush grass in a nearby area. With respect to our TCEQ discharge permit, we continue to be responsive as we work towards permit approval. We believe our proprietary desalination technology and beneficial reuse efforts can play a critical role in providing a sustainable solution for Permian produced water beyond just subsurface sequestration. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:15:42In the near term, our goal is to prove that our patented freeze desalination process can work economically at scale to advance on the regulatory and compliance fronts and to further investigate waste heat capture process efficiencies and colocation designs. We plan to provide updates on these key initiatives next year as our phase II facility ramps operations. Turning to our balance sheet, yesterday we announced that our board approved a three-for-one stock split of the company's common stock. This stock split is expected to be completed in December 2025, subject to finalization of the record date and distribution date by the board. At the quarter end, TPL had $532 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt. As Ty discussed, last month, TPL closed on a credit facility with $500 million of lender commitments. The credit facility was oversubscribed. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:16:37It contains favorable terms, and the interest rate spreads for borrowed funds are attractively priced for TPL. The facility was undrawn at close and remains undrawn today. This augments our liquidity position even as we maintain a net cash balance sheet today, and it expands our ability to capitalize on opportunities countercyclically. As always, we remain intently focused on maximizing intrinsic value per share with a disciplined capital allocation approach aimed on maximizing returns over the long term. With that, operator, we will now take questions. Operator00:17:10Thank you. With that, we will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. The confirmation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue. You may press star two to remove yourself from the queue. Operator00:17:30For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up a handset before pressing the Star keys. One moment while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from the line of Derrick Whitfield with [Texas Pacific Land Corporation]. Please proceed with your question. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:17:52Good morning, guys, and congrats on a strong. We would assume flattish activity. What's a good run rate for the business, and how much of your water sales are recycled barrels versus water from source? Operator00:18:20Our next question comes from Oliver Huang with TPH. Please proceed with your question. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:18:54Good morning, all, and thanks for taking the questions. Just wanted to, I guess, hit on the royalty acquisition you all announced this morning or last night. Just any sort of color on how this deal came together. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:19:08Also, how many incremental net locations on a 10,000 ft equivalent basis would you all say were acquired in your evaluation underwriting for the asset? Just when we're kind of thinking about the two net incremental, I guess, work in progress wells, any sort of color in terms of which bucket it falls into? Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:19:28Yeah, thanks for the question. We probably will not go into the total location count, but when we think about this type of asset and the type of assets we have purchased in the past and hopefully the type we would want to purchase in the future, having a lot of inventory that allows for future growth for years to come is one of the most important aspects of the types of assets that we look to acquire. Our view is that this is going to be a great asset. It is going to provide. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:20:06A great growth outlook to complement our legacy asset base. That is kind of how we have thought about it. Obviously, some of that growth is dependent on the level of activity and commodity prices, but we still think it is a very high-quality asset. It is operated, as you heard in the comments, by some of the most well-capitalized operators in the Permian. We feel really good that over the coming years, it is going to grow and provide really strong returns for TPL. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:20:41Okay, perfect. Maybe just for a second question on the power side of things, just power data center type of conversations that are occurring, how do you all feel about your position in terms of being able to participate out in West Texas versus, say, a quarter ago or even the start of the year to capture some share of this market? Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:21:06Just given the expansiveness of your footprint, any sort of color you can provide in terms of which areas seem more prospective for getting such deals executed on. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:21:15Yeah, sure. Thanks for the question. Look, we feel like TPL is very well positioned. We have all of the attributes needed to be very attractive to power generators and data center developers, hyperscalers. I think we've probably got more available land with those attributes needed than anyone else in West Texas. I think West Texas is quickly becoming more and more popular as an area to build out multi-gig facilities and campuses. I would just say that we continue to have really good conversations. I think we're pretty close on a couple of opportunities that are very interesting. Hopefully, we'll have additional news to share here in the very near future. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:22:05Awesome. Thanks for the time. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:10Thank you. Operator00:22:11Thank you. And next up, we have Derrick Whitfield with [Texas Pacific Land Corporation]. Please proceed with your question. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:22:21Good morning, guys. Let's try this again. Can you hear me? Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:25Yeah, we got you now, Derek. Good morning. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:22:28Awesome. Sorry about that. And congrats on a strong financial and operational update. For my first question, I wanted to focus on your outlook for water resources business. Over the last two quarters, we've seen a bit of volatility in water sales, assuming flattish activity. What's a good run rate for that business, and how much of your water sales today are recycled barrels versus water from source water wells? Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:55When you look at—good morning, Derrick. It's Robert. When you look at the change of quarter-over-quarter, it's something that we're always trying to work to minimize that volatility. And you can really attribute it to. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:23:11Mainly due to consolidation and diverse acreage positions that you see. Our footprint allows us to expand off that legacy acreage, and that's what we're attempting to do. To capture as much of that diversity as we see because the consolidation is so centralized in activity area from one area to another. As far as what the produce looks like, it's really a moving target every quarter. Obviously, the goal is to maximize the amount of recycled produce you're putting into an operation, but there's a lot of factors that go into that, mainly the availability of produce and the demand of what that frac is going to be in that area. That's where our team works with the operators every day. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:23:57To look at what that balance looks like, how can we maximize produced, and how can we backstop it with the brackish and keep up with the simul and trimul demands that we see today. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:24:05Makes sense. For my follow-up, Robert, we could probably stay with you. Just wanted to focus on how you're thinking about progressing DSEL beyond phase II and phase III and the degree of conversations you're having with industry about your technology. I'd also love to get your views on the permit that was just approved for NGL for an 800,000-barrel produced water treatment plant for beneficial reuse and recharge into the Pecos River Basin. Sorry. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:24:35I'll start on DSEL. I'd say that we were the first entry into DSEL in the market. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:24:45I think our expanse of footprint and diversity of operators and midstream companies allowed us to see that desal was going to be necessary at some time in the future. Yeah, I think we're four years into this at this point of starting from exploring different technologies, doing the R&D on which technology we selected. We're confident in desal and our technology to bring desal to the future. When we look at commercialization of desal and how that fits into the upstream market, what the ultimate commercial model looks like right now is yet to be determined from the industry as a whole. What we see the biggest benefit on ours is you go back to the power component. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:25:30Waste heat capture is really what we will be exploring, waste heat capture and use of our technology, and then freeze technology and how that fits into direct air cooling and direct chip cooling utilizing the freeze technology. When we look at 2026, for us, it is not necessarily growing in volume. It is working with those other synergies of how we implement direct capture. You have to think anything that you can do in that to, one, decrease the input cost of energy into DSEL and to maximize any value you can get out of the output of the water greatly helps the economics of bringing DSEL to full commercialization. On the NGL permit, there were a couple of draft permits issued. There have been no final permits issued so far from the TCEQ. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:26:28NGL and us included are in draft permit phase right now as we work with the commission to get that into final permit approval. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:26:37Thanks for the color. Maybe one more, if I could, on M&A more broadly. While we tend to see less opportunity at lower prices due to water bed spreads, you guys are having success, as evidenced in this quarter. I guess when you kind of think about the broader picture, both surface and minerals, how would you characterize the competitive landscape in the Permian at present and the opportunities really you're seeing across the broader Permian footprint, both Delaware, Central Basin Platform, and Midland? Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:27:12Yeah. I mean, we've been successful getting some of these deals done here recently. They've been sourced just through our relationships. I mean, the lower commodity price environment makes it a little tougher because of the bid-ask spread, like you've said. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:27:30I think we're still seeing a pretty healthy amount of opportunity in the pipeline. I think we'll continue to be successful. There's probably some equally interesting opportunities in the Delaware and the Midland and starting to see some kind of interesting stuff across the platform as well when you think about out-of-basin disposal and some of these next-gen type projects, power generation, data centers, things like that. Pretty excited looking forward on the opportunity set in front of us. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:28:00Great update, guys. I'll turn it back to the operator. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:28:05Thanks, Derrick. Operator00:28:06Thank you. With that, this does conclude today's question-and-answer session. It also concludes today's teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time and have a wonderful day.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesShawn AminiHead of Investor RelationsChris SteddumCFOTy GloverCEORobert CrainEVP of Water ResourcesAnalystsDerrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital SecuritiesOliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPHPowered by Earnings DocumentsSlide DeckEarnings Release(8-K)Quarterly Report(10-Q) Texas Pacific Land Earnings HeadlinesTPL expects 10,000 bpd produced water desalination facility to start flowing in coming weeks as it signs $43M land sale paid over 20 yearsMay 7 at 5:51 PM | msn.comTexas Pacific Land (TPL) stock trades down, here is whyMay 7 at 5:51 PM | msn.comThe chokepoint supplier behind SpaceX's $1.75 trillion empireBy the time a company goes public, 95% of profits have already been made.

Email Address About Texas Pacific LandTexas Pacific Land (NYSE:TPL) (NYSE: TPL) is a Texas-based land management company that derives revenue from the ownership and stewardship of large tracts of land and associated mineral rights in West Texas. The company’s origins trace to 19th century land grants associated with the Texas and Pacific Railway; over time those grant holdings have been retained and managed as a standalone corporate asset base. Texas Pacific Land is publicly listed and operates as a landowner and resource manager rather than as a traditional oil and gas producer. The company’s primary activities include management of surface rights and leasing of land for energy and other commercial uses, administration of mineral royalty interests, and provision of water and related services to industrial customers. Additional revenue streams come from grazing and agricultural leases, conservation and recreational agreements, and selective real estate dispositions and easements. A central focus of the business is protecting and enhancing the long-term value of its land and mineral estate through permitting, lease administration and land stewardship. Texas Pacific Land’s operations are concentrated in West Texas, notably in areas of significant oil and gas activity such as the Permian Basin, where it serves energy companies, agricultural tenants and other commercial users of surface and subsurface resources. The company is run by a corporate management team and governed by a board of directors and publishes periodic reports as a publicly traded entity; further details on executive leadership and governance are available in its regulatory filings and investor materials.

Management will make some prepared comments, after which we will open the call for questions. Now, I will turn the call over to Ty. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:01:43Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Our third quarter 2025 performance underscores the power of our unique business model and active management and consolidation strategy focused on accretively growing our oil and gas royalties, surface, and water assets. This was a record quarter for many of our major revenue and volume performance indicators. Oil and gas royalty production achieved a record of approximately 36,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day, representing a 9% sequential increase and a 28% increase year-over-year. Record water sales of $45 million represent 74% sequential growth and 23% growth year-over-year. Record produced water royalty revenues of $32 million represent 5% sequential growth and a 16% increase year-over-year. In sum, this was the first quarter in TPL's history where we recorded over $200 million of revenue. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:02:42We accomplished all this despite some of the weakest benchmark oil and gas prices the industry has experienced since the COVID pandemic period. Focusing on our oil and gas royalties, production volumes continue to benefit from robust activity in our northern Culberson, northern Reeves, and central Midland subregions. Production growth has been driven by an increase in net wells turned to sales and longer lateral lengths. Average lateral lengths year-to-date in 2025 are approximately 7% longer than last year and 23% longer compared to laterals split in 2019. TPL's portfolio of acquired minerals and royalties is also performing very well. We began acquiring minerals and royalty interests in 2018, and in the third quarter, that portfolio was responsible for 18% of TPL's consolidated royalty production. Combined, the minerals and royalties acquisitions are generating a mid-teens pre-tax cash flow yield. TPL's legacy MPRIs are also performing well with double-digit growth year-over-year. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:03:51Turning to our water services and operations segment, this business rebounded considerably from last quarter. As I mentioned earlier, water sales revenue was a record for third quarter 2025. Although rigs and frac spreads have trended lower, upstream operators continue to prioritize development efficiencies as we see persistent deployment of co-completions and simulfrac and trimulfrac. Our investments in brackish and treated water infrastructure have established TPL as one of the few systems in the Permian capable of accommodating the volume intensity required to keep up with operators. On the produced water royalty side, revenues and volumes continue to perform well. Year-over-year, quarterly revenues and volumes were up 16% and 19%, respectively, as we see strong demand for both in-basin and out-of-basin pore space. Similar to our oil and gas royalties, TPL's water segment has benefited from both organic investment and inorganic growth. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:04:52Since its formation in 2017, we've invested nearly $200 million to build out our source water and recycling infrastructure. We have also acquired approximately $220 million of surface acreage and pore space. These acquisitions were substantially funded by approximately $150 million of 1031 and 33 exchanges and land sales, consisting of acreage that was either non-core or of limited strategic value. In return, since inception, the water segment has generated over $600 million of earnings with $142 million of earnings in the last 12 months. The size and scale of our water segment across both source and produced is one of critical competitive advantages. For source water, it allows us to maintain and grow market share and preserve pricing when the overall industry is pulling back on completions. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:05:47For produced water royalties, our size and scale allow us to grow our market capture, attain strong royalty rates, and meaningfully complement our recycling and water sales efforts. Although commodity prices today are lower than what the industry believes ideal, we consider this current cycle a uniquely attractive opportunity to consolidate high-quality Permian assets. First, current oil prices are well below average historical oil prices. Since 2010, Brent prompt month oil prices have averaged $78 per barrel. Brent prompt month today is around $65. Although we are not in the business of predicting commodity prices over the short term, we do believe that longer-term mid-cycle oil prices will be higher than current spot prices. OPEC reducing spare capacity and bringing barrels back to market has resulted in looser supply and demand balances and, consequently, a weaker price environment. However, longer term, this ultimately will result in healthier market dynamics. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:06:53Despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions over the past year, global liquids demand continues to grow at a steady pace. Oil supply will eventually rationalize in response to pricing signals, albeit the process can unfold slowly as CapEx and development cycles tend to be sticky over the short term. Although we firmly believe that the Permian still has substantial remaining inventory and growth runway, other shale basins that have historically contributed to U.S. supply growth now appear to be in terminal decline. According to the EIA, the Bakken's most recent peak oil production month was in late 2019 at 1.5 MMbpd. Today, the Bakken is down to 1.2 MMbpd. The Eagle Ford's most recent peak oil production month was also in late 2019 at 1.4 MMbpd, whereas today it's 1.1 MMbpd. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:07:50In fact, if you were to exclude the Permian, total U.S. oil production appears to have peaked five years ago and is down about 1 MMbpd from that peak level. Though the U.S. contribution to global oil supply will still benefit from Permian growth, it could likely be offset with increasingly larger declines from non-Permian basins. We suspect that extracting additional global supply will be much harder going forward. The Permian was responsible for virtually all of the world's crude oil supply growth over the last decade. Since the beginning of 2015, global supply growth of crude oil, excluding NGLs and other liquids, has been 4.2 MMbpd. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:08:34Permian crude oil supply growth during that time was 4.8 MMbpd, which implies that, on an aggregate basis, the Permian made up for global crude oil declines over the last decade while also providing all of the incremental growth. With structural liquids demand globally still on a growth trend for the foreseeable future, many key supply regions in structural decline, and OPEC reducing spare capacity, we believe that over the long term there is a very favorable skew towards right-tail high oil price cycles. Despite the low commodity price environment today, TPL still retains abundant access to attractively priced external capital. Last month, TPL closed on its inaugural credit facility with $500 million of lender commitments that accrues interest at SOFR plus a spread of either 225 or 250 basis points, depending on TPL's debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:09:33TPL's first-ever credit facility enhances our liquidity and allows us even greater flexibility towards funding growth opportunities and other general business purposes. The simultaneous occurrence of below mid-cycle commodity prices and a robust supply of low-cost capital has historically been rare and short-lived for oil and gas companies, but currently those elements have aligned for TPL. Because TPL is built and managed towards long-term value creation, we can arbitrage to press valuations for long-duration assets impacted by short-term volatility. It's during these periods where TPL can take advantage of down cycles and opportunistically leverage our resilient business with high cash flow margins and a fortress balance sheet to consolidate high-quality Permian royalty surface and water assets. We can tolerate periods of low commodity prices for assets that will likely generate cash flows for many decades. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:10:35To that end, yesterday we announced acquisitions of Permian oil and gas royalties and surface acreage, which fit seamlessly into the broader TPL portfolio. On November 3, 2025, we acquired approximately 17,300 net royalty acres standardized to a 1/8, located primarily in the Midland Basin in Martin, Howard, and Midland counties. Total purchase price was approximately $474 million. Funded entirely by cash on our balance sheet. Approximately 70% of the acquired interests are adjacent to or overlapping drilling spacing units that TPL already owns, meaning we essentially acquired additional royalties in current and future well locations we already retain an interest in. Approximately 61% of the royalty acreage is operated by ExxonMobil, Diamondback Energy, and Occidental Petroleum. The royalty acquisition currently produces more than 3,700 bbl of oil equivalent per day, with an approximately 80% oil and natural gas liquids cut. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:11:44We expect to generate a double-digit pre-tax cash flow yield at realized oil and natural gas prices of approximately $60 per barrel and $2 per 1,000 cu ft, respectively. In September, we closed on an acquisition of approximately 8,100 surface acres in Martin County, Texas. The surface acquisition is adjacent to land TPL already owns, providing TPL an even larger contiguous block in a strategic area that is prospective for source and produced water, SLAM, and other next-gen commercial opportunities. In conclusion, we're not overly concerned with near-term commodity price volatility. Although TPL's oil and gas royalty revenues remain below the peak from third quarter 2022, it's entirely attributable to lower commodity prices as our royalty production has increased 55% since then. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:12:42We can't make any promises as to if or when commodity prices improve, but as TPL's royalty production has substantially grown both organically and inorganically, TPL retains immense upside leverage to the next oil and gas price up cycle. That potential incremental revenue represents pure inflation-protected margin as our royalties are not burdened by capital costs and most operating expenses. In addition, our water business just had a record quarter as we execute on multiple growth opportunities such as out-of-basin disposal and produced water desalination. Overall, TPL is positioned exceptionally well over the near and long term, and we remain intently focused on exploiting our commercial potential while deploying capital opportunistically as we seek to maximize shareholder returns. With that, I'll hand the call over to Chris. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:13:36Thanks, Ty. For the third quarter of 2025, consolidated total revenue was $203 million, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $174 million. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:13:50Adjusted EBITDA margin was 85%. Free cash flow was $123 million, representing a 15% increase year-over-year. Royalty production this quarter was approximately 36,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The royalty acquisition that we announced with yesterday's earnings release closed after September 30 and did not contribute to the production or revenue for the third quarter 2025. As of quarter end, TPL had 6.1 net permitted wells, 9.9 net drilled but uncompleted wells, and 3.1 net completed but not producing wells. We expect our recent royalty acquisition to add approximately two net wells to our line of sight inventory. Turning to our desalination project, construction continues on our 10,000 bbl per day facility in Orla, Texas. We expect to begin commissioning the facility by the end of the year. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:14:46Once fully commissioned, we will expand our testing process as we seek to evaluate the system's capabilities at scale and assess its performance under a wider variety of operating conditions and water specifications. Our previous CapEx estimates remain unchanged from our last update. On the regulatory front, we have received an additional approved land application pilot permit from the Texas Railroad Commission. This permit allows us to use the facility's treated freshwater output to irrigate land with the aim of restoring native brush grass in a nearby area. With respect to our TCEQ discharge permit, we continue to be responsive as we work towards permit approval. We believe our proprietary desalination technology and beneficial reuse efforts can play a critical role in providing a sustainable solution for Permian produced water beyond just subsurface sequestration. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:15:42In the near term, our goal is to prove that our patented freeze desalination process can work economically at scale to advance on the regulatory and compliance fronts and to further investigate waste heat capture process efficiencies and colocation designs. We plan to provide updates on these key initiatives next year as our phase II facility ramps operations. Turning to our balance sheet, yesterday we announced that our board approved a three-for-one stock split of the company's common stock. This stock split is expected to be completed in December 2025, subject to finalization of the record date and distribution date by the board. At the quarter end, TPL had $532 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt. As Ty discussed, last month, TPL closed on a credit facility with $500 million of lender commitments. The credit facility was oversubscribed. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:16:37It contains favorable terms, and the interest rate spreads for borrowed funds are attractively priced for TPL. The facility was undrawn at close and remains undrawn today. This augments our liquidity position even as we maintain a net cash balance sheet today, and it expands our ability to capitalize on opportunities countercyclically. As always, we remain intently focused on maximizing intrinsic value per share with a disciplined capital allocation approach aimed on maximizing returns over the long term. With that, operator, we will now take questions. Operator00:17:10Thank you. With that, we will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. The confirmation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue. You may press star two to remove yourself from the queue. Operator00:17:30For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up a handset before pressing the Star keys. One moment while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from the line of Derrick Whitfield with [Texas Pacific Land Corporation]. Please proceed with your question. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:17:52Good morning, guys, and congrats on a strong. We would assume flattish activity. What's a good run rate for the business, and how much of your water sales are recycled barrels versus water from source? Operator00:18:20Our next question comes from Oliver Huang with TPH. Please proceed with your question. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:18:54Good morning, all, and thanks for taking the questions. Just wanted to, I guess, hit on the royalty acquisition you all announced this morning or last night. Just any sort of color on how this deal came together. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:19:08Also, how many incremental net locations on a 10,000 ft equivalent basis would you all say were acquired in your evaluation underwriting for the asset? Just when we're kind of thinking about the two net incremental, I guess, work in progress wells, any sort of color in terms of which bucket it falls into? Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:19:28Yeah, thanks for the question. We probably will not go into the total location count, but when we think about this type of asset and the type of assets we have purchased in the past and hopefully the type we would want to purchase in the future, having a lot of inventory that allows for future growth for years to come is one of the most important aspects of the types of assets that we look to acquire. Our view is that this is going to be a great asset. It is going to provide. Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:20:06A great growth outlook to complement our legacy asset base. That is kind of how we have thought about it. Obviously, some of that growth is dependent on the level of activity and commodity prices, but we still think it is a very high-quality asset. It is operated, as you heard in the comments, by some of the most well-capitalized operators in the Permian. We feel really good that over the coming years, it is going to grow and provide really strong returns for TPL. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:20:41Okay, perfect. Maybe just for a second question on the power side of things, just power data center type of conversations that are occurring, how do you all feel about your position in terms of being able to participate out in West Texas versus, say, a quarter ago or even the start of the year to capture some share of this market? Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:21:06Just given the expansiveness of your footprint, any sort of color you can provide in terms of which areas seem more prospective for getting such deals executed on. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:21:15Yeah, sure. Thanks for the question. Look, we feel like TPL is very well positioned. We have all of the attributes needed to be very attractive to power generators and data center developers, hyperscalers. I think we've probably got more available land with those attributes needed than anyone else in West Texas. I think West Texas is quickly becoming more and more popular as an area to build out multi-gig facilities and campuses. I would just say that we continue to have really good conversations. I think we're pretty close on a couple of opportunities that are very interesting. Hopefully, we'll have additional news to share here in the very near future. Oliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPH00:22:05Awesome. Thanks for the time. Chris SteddumCFO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:10Thank you. Operator00:22:11Thank you. And next up, we have Derrick Whitfield with [Texas Pacific Land Corporation]. Please proceed with your question. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:22:21Good morning, guys. Let's try this again. Can you hear me? Ty GloverCEO at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:25Yeah, we got you now, Derek. Good morning. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:22:28Awesome. Sorry about that. And congrats on a strong financial and operational update. For my first question, I wanted to focus on your outlook for water resources business. Over the last two quarters, we've seen a bit of volatility in water sales, assuming flattish activity. What's a good run rate for that business, and how much of your water sales today are recycled barrels versus water from source water wells? Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:22:55When you look at—good morning, Derrick. It's Robert. When you look at the change of quarter-over-quarter, it's something that we're always trying to work to minimize that volatility. And you can really attribute it to. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:23:11Mainly due to consolidation and diverse acreage positions that you see. Our footprint allows us to expand off that legacy acreage, and that's what we're attempting to do. To capture as much of that diversity as we see because the consolidation is so centralized in activity area from one area to another. As far as what the produce looks like, it's really a moving target every quarter. Obviously, the goal is to maximize the amount of recycled produce you're putting into an operation, but there's a lot of factors that go into that, mainly the availability of produce and the demand of what that frac is going to be in that area. That's where our team works with the operators every day. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:23:57To look at what that balance looks like, how can we maximize produced, and how can we backstop it with the brackish and keep up with the simul and trimul demands that we see today. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:24:05Makes sense. For my follow-up, Robert, we could probably stay with you. Just wanted to focus on how you're thinking about progressing DSEL beyond phase II and phase III and the degree of conversations you're having with industry about your technology. I'd also love to get your views on the permit that was just approved for NGL for an 800,000-barrel produced water treatment plant for beneficial reuse and recharge into the Pecos River Basin. Sorry. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:24:35I'll start on DSEL. I'd say that we were the first entry into DSEL in the market. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:24:45I think our expanse of footprint and diversity of operators and midstream companies allowed us to see that desal was going to be necessary at some time in the future. Yeah, I think we're four years into this at this point of starting from exploring different technologies, doing the R&D on which technology we selected. We're confident in desal and our technology to bring desal to the future. When we look at commercialization of desal and how that fits into the upstream market, what the ultimate commercial model looks like right now is yet to be determined from the industry as a whole. What we see the biggest benefit on ours is you go back to the power component. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:25:30Waste heat capture is really what we will be exploring, waste heat capture and use of our technology, and then freeze technology and how that fits into direct air cooling and direct chip cooling utilizing the freeze technology. When we look at 2026, for us, it is not necessarily growing in volume. It is working with those other synergies of how we implement direct capture. You have to think anything that you can do in that to, one, decrease the input cost of energy into DSEL and to maximize any value you can get out of the output of the water greatly helps the economics of bringing DSEL to full commercialization. On the NGL permit, there were a couple of draft permits issued. There have been no final permits issued so far from the TCEQ. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:26:28NGL and us included are in draft permit phase right now as we work with the commission to get that into final permit approval. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:26:37Thanks for the color. Maybe one more, if I could, on M&A more broadly. While we tend to see less opportunity at lower prices due to water bed spreads, you guys are having success, as evidenced in this quarter. I guess when you kind of think about the broader picture, both surface and minerals, how would you characterize the competitive landscape in the Permian at present and the opportunities really you're seeing across the broader Permian footprint, both Delaware, Central Basin Platform, and Midland? Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:27:12Yeah. I mean, we've been successful getting some of these deals done here recently. They've been sourced just through our relationships. I mean, the lower commodity price environment makes it a little tougher because of the bid-ask spread, like you've said. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:27:30I think we're still seeing a pretty healthy amount of opportunity in the pipeline. I think we'll continue to be successful. There's probably some equally interesting opportunities in the Delaware and the Midland and starting to see some kind of interesting stuff across the platform as well when you think about out-of-basin disposal and some of these next-gen type projects, power generation, data centers, things like that. Pretty excited looking forward on the opportunity set in front of us. Derrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital Securities00:28:00Great update, guys. I'll turn it back to the operator. Robert CrainEVP of Water Resources at Texas Pacific Land Corporation00:28:05Thanks, Derrick. Operator00:28:06Thank you. With that, this does conclude today's question-and-answer session. It also concludes today's teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time and have a wonderful day.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesShawn AminiHead of Investor RelationsChris SteddumCFOTy GloverCEORobert CrainEVP of Water ResourcesAnalystsDerrick WhitfieldEquity Research Analyst at Texas Capital SecuritiesOliver HuangResearch Analyst at TPHPowered by
