Texas Pacific Land Corporation (TPL) reported first-quarter 2025 results on May 7, 2025, via Exhibit 99.1, and posted an updated May 2025 investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2) to its website.
Net income was $120.7 milliona ($5.24 per diluted share) on total revenues of $196.0 million, compared with $174.1 million of total revenues in the first quarter of 2024. Oil and gas royalty production reached a company-record 31.1 thousand Boe per day, and Water Services and Operations segment revenues were a record $69.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $169.4 million and free cash flow was $126.6 million.
The company reported that its royalty acreage carried 24.3 net wells across permits, drilled-but-uncompleted wells and completed-but-not-producing wells, a company record, and 90.2 net producing wells. Cash and cash equivalents were $460.4 millionb at March 31, 2025, with no debt. Total operating expenses rose to $45.9 million from $38.1 million a year earlier, mainly due to higher depletion tied to oil and gas royalty interests acquired in the second half of 2024.
The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.60c per share, payable June 16, 2025. The investor presentation restates these results alongside full-year 2024 figures, including $611 million of 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, $461 million of 2024 free cash flow, and a long-term framework emphasizing capital returns through dividends and share repurchases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What drove the year-over-year increase in revenue?
The filing attributes the increase primarily to a $19.1 million rise in oil and gas royalty revenue and a $4.7 million increase in produced water royalties, with produced water royalties increasing mainly on higher produced water volumes.

Why did operating expenses increase?
Total operating expenses were $45.9 million versus $38.1 million in Q1 2024. The filing says the increase was principally due to a $6.8 million increase in depletion expense associated with oil and gas royalty interests acquired during the second half of 2024.
