SABINE ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES

MONTHLY CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR MAY 2026

Dallas, Texas, May 5, 2026 – Argent Trust Company, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.497900 per unit, payable on May 29, 2026, to unit holders of record on May 15, 2026. Sabine’s cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports can be requested and are mailed free of charge.

 

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for February 2026 and the gas production for January 2026, which is considered current production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 56,677 barrels of oil and 1,220,056 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $60.97 per barrel of oil and $3.98 per Mcf of gas.

 

This month’s distribution is higher than the previous month’s primarily due to an increase in oil and natural gas pricing, as well as an increase in oil and natural gas production.

 

The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous month’s:

 

		Net to Trust Sales
		Volumes (a)				Average Price (a)
		Oil (bbls)		Gas (Mcf)		Oil (per bbl)		Gas (per Mcf)
Current Month		56,677		1,220,056		$60.97		$3.98
Prior Month		44,645		885,409		$57.57		$3.42

 

 

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified, and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

 

Due to the timing of the end of the month of April, approximately $1,338,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of May in addition to normal cash receipts received during May. Since the close of business in April and prior to this press release, approximately $879,000 in revenue has been received.

 

The 2025 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the December 31, 2025, Reserve Summary are available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
