First Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Entered into an arrangement with a developer of a power generation plant to support data center operations. In conjunction with this arrangement, we sold land for aggregate consideration of $42.5 million pursuant to a financing arrangement with the developer, resulting in immediate recognition of $20.9 million in land sale revenue and the recording of a financing receivable. Additionally, we entered into a separate agreement to supply water to the project.

• On May 5, 2026, TPL’s board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Peter Doyle to the Board. Mr. Doyle is a co-founder and the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Kinetics, which, through various owned subsidiaries, is TPL’s largest shareholder.

• Oil and gas royalty production of 37.1 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day

• As of March 31, 2026, TPL’s royalty acreage had an estimated 5.8 net well permits, 9.6 net drilled but uncompleted wells (“DUCs”), and 5.2 net completed but not producing wells (“CUPs”), totaling 20.7 net wells.⁽¹⁾ TPL had 124.4 net producing wells as of March 31, 2026, and net producing wells added during the quarter had an average lateral length of approximately 10,650 feet.

• Land and Resource Management segment revenues of $153.6 million

• Water Services and Operations segment revenues of $83.3 million

• Consolidated net income of $142.9 million, or $2.07 per share (diluted)

• Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $181.4 million

• Free cash flow⁽²⁾ of $136.4 million

• Quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share was paid on March 16, 2026

“For the first quarter of 2026, TPL’s core business performance remained strong, and we are closing in on significant milestones in our emerging opportunities in produced water desalination and land opportunities involving data centers and power generation,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “TPL generated record quarterly revenue and net income this quarter, supported by robust volumes across oil and gas royalties, water sales, and produced water royalties. With our unhedged commodity position, we will fully capture the upside from elevated commodity prices. During the quarter, we completed a land sale related to a large-scale data center and power generation project. As part of that transaction, TPL secured a water supply agreement for the gas-powered generation and an option to provide additional water to the data center facility. The urgency amongst hyperscalers, AI labs, and developers to advance projects in West Texas has noticeably increased compared to a year ago, and our ongoing commercial conversations in this area are progressing well. In addition, our 10,000 barrel per day produced water desalination R&D test facility in Orla, Texas is nearing completion and is on track to receive its first inlet barrels in the coming weeks.”

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2026 - Sequential

The Company reported net income of $142.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $123.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $236.8 million compared to $211.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to a $21.4 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue and a $20.9 million increase in land sale revenue, partially offset by a $13.9 million decrease in water sales compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company’s average realized price was $37.06 per Boe in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $29.33 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the Company’s share of production was 37.1 thousand Boe per day for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 37.5 thousand Boe per day for the fourth quarter of 2025. Water sales decreased due to a decrease in both water sales volumes and pricing. TPL’s revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by its customers.

Total operating expenses were $54.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $62.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to a $7.9 million decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and a $3.2 million decrease in water service-related expenses, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.

Generally, future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may” and the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions or the negative of such terms identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references to strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, assumptions, future operations, and prospects; statements regarding anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions or the Permian Basin’s future drilling inventory and energy resources; and other statements that are not historical facts. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although TPL believes that plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements made herein are reasonable, TPL may be unable to achieve such plans, intentions or expectations and actual results, and performance or achievements may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the initiation or outcome of potential litigation; any changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions; and the other risks discussed in TPL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. The purpose of presenting EBITDA is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis.

The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by the compensation committee of our Board to evaluate the Company’s performance in determining the short-term and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers on an annual basis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation, less land sale with financing arrangement and pension curtailment and settlement gain, as applicable to the periods presented.

The purpose of presenting free cash flow is to provide investors a metric to measure the funds available for investing in future acquisitions and returning capital to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases after current income tax expense and purchases of fixed assets. Additionally, free cash flow is a metric used by the compensation committee of our Board to evaluate the Company’s performance in determining the short-term and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers. To calculate free cash flow, net income is adjusted by adding back income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization and employee share-based compensation, less the cash outflows of current income tax expenses, land sale with financing arrangement, purchases of fixed assets and pension curtailment and settlement gain, as applicable to the periods presented.

We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company’s operating performance, ability to fund future acquisitions, ability to return capital to our stockholders and explaining how our executive officers are compensated. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
