NDB Operating paid approximately $18.3 million and $35.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, for shared services and direct cost reimbursements. Subsequent to the WaterBridge Combination, we provide LandBridge with management, general, administrative, overhead and operating services in support of LandBridge’s operations and development activities under the Shared Services Agreement.

Subsequent to the WaterBridge Combination, produced water management agreements among subsidiaries of the Company and subsidiaries of Desert Environmental are intercompany agreements and therefore do not constitute related party transactions as the Company consolidated both parties to the agreements. All preexisting relationships were settled in conjunction with the WaterBridge Combination. Subsequent to the WaterBridge Combination, certain subsidiaries of the Company are party to various produced water handling agreements and water solutions agreements with Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) (“Devon”) and San Mateo Midstream, LLC, a joint venture between Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) and Five Point that operates produced water handling facilities and other midstream assets in the Delaware Basin, in each case on terms substantially similar to those generally available for water management services in their corresponding regions. Under such produced water management agreements, the customer delivers produced water produced from oil and gas operations to such subsidiary of the Company for produced water transportation and handling services.
