Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of September 30, 2025, other than as described below.
Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. In order to protect the historical royalty interests from any potential tax liens for non-payment of ad valorem taxes, we have accrued and/or paid such ad valorem taxes since January 1, 2022. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party for such taxes, we are unable to estimate the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of September 30, 2025.
Lease Commitments
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recorded right-of-use assets of $14.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and lease liabilities of $17.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily related to operating leases in connection with our administrative offices located in Dallas and Midland, Texas. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a new office lease, expiring in May 2036, for the relocation of its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. The office lease agreements require monthly rent payments, and the operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease cost was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assets or require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations. There are
no residual value guarantees in our lease commitments. The weighted-average lease term for our operating lease liabilities is approximately 10.3 years. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 6.6%.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows (in thousands):
