AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2015-- Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.032287 per unit, payable on December 14, 2015 to unitholders of record on November 30, 2015. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of August 2015 and natural gas production during July 2015.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $3.0 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.7 million from the prior month calculation. The decrease was primarily due to a 16% decrease in NYMEX oil prices from July to August 2015. Natural gas receipts increased $0.1 million from the prior month, totaling $1.1 million. The increase in natural gas sales volumes resulted primarily from differences in the timing of cash receipts.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses (“LOE”), production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, totaled $2.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million from the prior month. The increase in direct operating expenses is due to lower than normal LOE in the prior period as a result of actual LOE for prior months being lower than anticipated, resulting in accrual adjustments. These adjustments resulted in a $0.3 million LOE reduction in the prior month distribution.

Actual capital costs incurred have been less than projected, resulting in a capital adjustment during the current month distribution that increased the total distribution to be paid by $0.3 million. Capital expenditures incurred during the current month distribution period were $0.3 million, offset by $0.6 million of accrual reductions related to projects where actual costs incurred were less than projected.

Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during September 2015.
