PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES OCTOBER CASH DISTRIBUTION AND EXCESS COST POSITION ON WADDELL RANCH PROPERTIES

$PBTPress releaseOct 20, 2026, 8:00 AM ETRead the release

Permian Basin Royalty Trust declared an October distribution of $0.045191 per unit ($2.11 million total on 46.6M units), payable November 16 to holders of record October 30. The payout rose from the prior month, helped by a final Blackbeard Operating settlement payment and stronger gas volumes and pricing, partially offset by lower oil prices. Waddell Ranch contributed nothing again: September production costs exceeded gross proceeds, extending the excess cost position, and all future proceeds must first recover those costs plus accrued interest before distributions resume. Operator Blackbeard now reports data only quarterly, pushing disclosure into 10-Q/10-K filings.
