Litigation

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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026.

Lease Commitments

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had right-of-use assets of $13.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively, and lease liabilities of $18.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively, primarily related to operating leases in connection with our administrative offices located in Dallas and Midland, Texas. The leases for our Dallas and Midland offices expire in May 2036 and July 2027, respectively. The office lease agreements require monthly rent payments, and operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease costs were $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The weighted-average lease term for our operating lease liabilities is approximately 10.0 years. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 6.6%.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows (in thousands):

Year ending December 31, Amount
