HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2018-- Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.043769 per unit, payable on September 17, 2018 to unitholders of record on August 31, 2018. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of May 2018 and natural gas production during April 2018.

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 $3.7 million for the current month, an increase of $0.2 million from the prior month distribution period due to an increase in volumes. In addition to one more day of production in May compared to April, payment timing differences caused volume fluctuations.

Natural gas cash receipts increased slightly from the prior distribution period to $1.0 million in the current month primarily due to a three percent increase in the realized wellhead price as compared to the prior month. Natural gas sales volumes increased due to payment timing differences associated with operators in the Permian Basin.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, were $2.5 million, consistent with the prior month. Capital expenditures were $0.2 million in the current month. Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred in June 2018.
