NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2015 to own and acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States. The Partnership has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As an owner of mineral and royalty interests, the Partnership is entitled to a portion of the revenues received from the production of oil, natural gas and associated natural gas liquids (“NGL”) from the acreage underlying its interests, net of post-production expenses and taxes. The Partnership is not obligated to fund drilling and completion costs, lease operating expenses or plugging and abandonment costs at the end of a well’s productive life. The Partnership’s primary business objective is to provide increasing cash distributions to unitholders resulting from acquisitions from third parties, its Sponsors and the Contributing Parties, and from organic growth through the continued development by working interest owners of the properties in which it owns an interest. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As a result, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required for complete annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), which contains a summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures. In the opinion of management of the General Partner, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods in accordance with GAAP and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Use of Estimates Preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Reporting The Partnership has one business activity as the owner of mineral and royalty interests and operates in a operating and segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The segment participates in activities and derives revenue as described in the organization section on a consolidated basis. The Partnership’s CODM is our Chief Operating Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance as presented on the consolidated statement of operations and to make capital allocation decisions such as reinvestment in the business or repurchases under the common unit repurchase program, as discussed in Note 11—Unitholders’ Equity and Partnership Distributions. The CODM uses this measure in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process and to evaluate income generated from segment assets to distribute cash to unitholders and deciding whether to reinvest profits for new or existing mineral and royalty interest through acquisitions or organic growth. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Significant segment expenses of the Partnership include production and ad valorem taxes, depreciation and depletion expense, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, marketing and other deductions, general and administrative expense and interest expense. Other segment items included in net income are income tax expenses and other income (expense) line items. All significant segment expenses and other segment items are presented individually in the consolidated statements of operations. Global Conflicts and Uncertainties The recent U.S. military action in Iran has led to regional instability and caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets and increased the level of global economic and political uncertainty, including uncertainty about world-wide oil supply and demand, which in turn has increased volatility in commodity prices. To date, the Partnership has not experienced a material adverse impact to operations or the consolidated financial statements as a result of these conflicts; however, the Partnership will continue to monitor for events that could materially impact them. President Trump has executed several executive orders, some of which impact the oil and gas industry, and he and others in Congress have indicated the potential for further changes to regulations, many of which could impact the oil and gas industry, as well as the implementation of tariffs on foreign goods and services. It is uncertain at this time to what extent such changes in regulations and tariffs will impact our business. Tariffs on foreign goods and services could result in other countries instituting tariffs on U.S. goods and services, which could impact the demand for and price of commodities, increase the price of supplies and raw materials that we rely on, and could impact interest rates. A changing regulatory environment and domestic or foreign tariffs could ultimately impact our operations and expenses. |
