Exhibit 99.1

Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution

AUSTIN, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 19, 2017

Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.003644 per unit, payable on October 16, 2017 to unitholders of record on September 29, 2017. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of June 2017 and natural gas production during May 2017.

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 $2.5 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior month calculation as a result of a decrease in the realized wellhead price as well as a decline in production volumes. The decline in realized prices was driven by a seven percent decline in NYMEX pricing from May to June. Oil sales volumes declined as a result of one less day of production in June compared to May.

Natural gas cash receipts decreased from $1.0 million in the prior distribution period to $0.9 million in the current month due to a decrease in natural gas volumes offset by a three percent increase in realized wellhead prices. Additional natural gas volumes were included in the prior month distribution calculation due to a purchaser in the Permian Basin that remitted payments for multiple production months in one month. Such payments represented ten months of natural gas sales for certain wells, for which payments were previously delayed. As previously disclosed, natural gas cash receipts from these wells totaled approximately $96,000 related to prior periods, and the associated volumes included in the prior distribution period totaled approximately 46,400 Mcf. Excluding receipts related to prior periods for these wells, natural gas cash receipts and volumes would have been approximately $0.9 million and 311,700 Mcf (10,390 Mcf/D), respectively, for the prior distribution period. Further, the average received wellhead price would have been $2.81 per Mcf, as the majority of the payments related to production periods of lower natural gas prices.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, remained consistent at $2.5 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $620,000, of which $0.5 million relates to a portion of capital for 4 gross wells that were drilled in north Louisiana. Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during July 2017.

About Enduro Royalty Trust
