ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Dorchester Minerals, L.P. is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that commenced operations on January 31, 2003, upon the combination of Dorchester Hugoton, Ltd., Republic Royalty Company, L.P. and Spinnaker Royalty Company, L.P. Dorchester Hugoton was a publicly traded Texas limited partnership, and Republic and Spinnaker were private Texas limited partnerships. We have established a website at www.dmlp.net that contains the last annual meeting presentation ~~and a link to the NASDAQ website~~. You may obtain all current filings free of charge at through our website. We will provide electronic or paper copies of our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) free of charge upon written request at our executive offices. In this report, the term "Partnership," as well as the terms "us," "our," "we," and "its" are sometimes used as abbreviated references to Dorchester Minerals, L.P. itself or Dorchester Minerals, L.P. and its related entities.

Our general partner is Dorchester Minerals Management LP, which is managed by its general partner, Dorchester Minerals Management GP LLC. As a result, the Board of Managers of Dorchester Minerals Management GP LLC exercises effective control of the Partnership. In this report, the term "General Partner" is used as an abbreviated reference to Dorchester Minerals Management LP. Our General Partner also controls and owns, directly and indirectly, all of the Partnership interests in Dorchester Minerals Operating LP and its general partner. Dorchester Minerals Operating LP owns working interests and other properties underlying our Net Profits Interest (or “NPI”), provides day-to-day operational and administrative services to us and our General Partner, and is the employer of all the employees who perform such services. In this report, the term "Operating Partnership" is used as an abbreviated reference to Dorchester Minerals Operating LP. Our General Partner and the Operating Partnership are Delaware limited partnerships, and the general partners of their general partners are Delaware limited liability companies.

On September 30, 2024, pursuant to a non-taxable contribution and exchange agreement with an unrelated third party, the Partnership acquired ~~overriding~~ royalty interests totaling approximately 1,204 net royalty acres located in Weld County, Colorado in exchange for 530,000 common units representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership issued pursuant to the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-4.

~~Our~~On ~~primary~~August 29, ~~business~~2025, ~~objective~~pursuant is to ~~provide~~a annon-taxable ~~attractive~~contribution ~~yield~~and toexchange ~~our~~agreement ~~unitholders~~with bymultiple unrelated ~~focusing~~third onparties, ~~strategically~~the ~~managing~~Partnership ~~our~~acquired ~~assets~~mineral ~~and~~interests ~~protecting~~totaling ~~our~~approximately ~~balance sheet~~3,050 ~~while~~net ~~maintaining~~royalty aacres ~~best-~~located in~~-class~~ ~~cost~~Adams ~~structure.~~County, WeColorado ~~intend~~in toexchange ~~accomplish~~for ~~this~~915,694 ~~objective~~common byunits ~~executing~~representing limited partnership interests in the ~~following~~Partnership ~~strategies:~~issued pursuant to the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-4.

Our primary business objective is to provide an attractive yield to our unitholders by focusing on strategically managing our assets and protecting our balance sheet, while striving to minimize our cost structure. We intend to accomplish this objective by executing the following strategies:

●

Capitalize on the development of the properties underlying our mineral interests. Production from our mineral interests could increase as operators continue to drill, complete and develop our acreage. We expect to benefit from continued operator development and believe the new production will help offset other mature property production declines.

● Seek to acquire from time to time, accretive mineral or other interests in producing oil and natural gas properties ~~that meet our acquisition criteria~~. Since our formation, we have acquired, and may have additional opportunities from time to time in the future to acquire, mineral, royalty, or net profits interests in producing or non-producing oil and natural gas properties. We prefer to issue equity as consideration in non-taxable contribution and exchange transactions.

●

Maintain a conservative capital structure. Since our formation, we have maintained a conservative capital structure that has allowed us to opportunistically purchase accretive mineral and royalty interests. Our partnership agreement prohibits leverage which aids in our ability to successfully operate in challenging business and commodity price environments.

We are currently focused on the acquisition, ownership, and administration of Royalty Properties and NPI. The NPI represents a net profits overriding royalty interest burdening various properties owned by the Operating Partnership. We receive monthly payments equaling 96.97% of the net profits realized by the Operating Partnership from these properties in the preceding month. The Royalty Properties consist of producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests located in 594 counties and parishes in 28 states (“Royalty Properties”).

Table of Contents

Our partnership agreement requires that we make a quarterly distribution in an amount equal to 100% of available cash. Available cash is defined as all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership on hand at the end of that quarter (including any previously reserved cash for acquisitions that has not been used on or prior to the last business day of that quarter other than cash proceeds received by the Partnership from a public or private offering of securities of the Partnership and cash proceeds from a sale of assets of the Partnership that the Partnership intends to use in an asset swap or other similar transaction), less the amount of any cash reserves that our General Partner determines is necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of the Partnership’s business or to comply with applicable laws or agreements or obligations to which we may be subject, provided, however, that cash reserves for acquisitions may only be excluded from the calculation of available cash to the extent such reservation does not exceed the cash reserve limitation. The cash reserve limitation is defined as 10% of the Partnership's aggregate cash distributions for the two immediately prior quarters, provided that any cash reserved for acquisitions in any prior period (other than a reservation made in the immediately prior quarter) that has not been used for, or otherwise committed to, an acquisition on or prior to the last business day of such quarter shall no longer be reserved from available cash. Our practice is to accrue funds quarterly for amounts incurred throughout the year but invoiced and paid annually or semi-annually (e.g. ad valorem taxes and professional services). These amounts generally are not held for periods over one year.

Our partnership agreement allows us to grow by acquiring additional oil and natural gas properties, subject to the limitations described below. The approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding common units is required for our General Partner to cause us to acquire or obtain any oil and natural gas property interest, unless the acquisition is complementary to our business and is made either:

●

in exchange for our limited partner interests, including common units, not exceeding 40% of the common units outstanding after issuance; or

●

in exchange for cash proceeds of any public or private offer and sale of limited partner interests, including common units, or options, rights, warrants, or appreciation rights relating to the limited partner interests, including common units; or

●

in exchange for other cash from our operations, if the aggregate cost of any acquisitions made for cash during the twelve-month period ending on the first to occur of the execution of a definitive agreement for the acquisition or its consummation is no more than the cash reserve limitation, as defined above; or

●

in exchange for any combination of the foregoing clauses

Credit Facilities and Financing Plans

We do not have a credit facility in place, nor do we anticipate doing so. We do not anticipate incurring any debt, other than trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of our business. To the extent necessary to avoid unrelated business taxable income, our partnership agreement prohibits us from incurring indebtedness, excluding trade payables, in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate at any given time or which would constitute "acquisition indebtedness" (as defined in Section 514 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). We may finance any growth of our business through acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties by issuing additional limited partnership interests or with cash, subject to the limits described above and in our partnership agreement.

Under our partnership agreement, we may also finance our growth through the issuance of additional partnership securities, including options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights with respect to partnership securities from time to time in exchange for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our General Partner in its sole discretion. However, we may not issue limited partnership interests that would represent over 40% of the outstanding limited partnership interests immediately after giving effect to such issuance or that would have greater rights or powers than our common units without the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding common units. Except in connection with qualifying acquisitions, we do not currently anticipate issuing additional partnership securities. We have an effective registration ~~statement~~ statements registering 10 22,~~000~~659,~~000~~ 982 common units that may be offered and issued by the Partnership from time to time in connection with asset acquisitions or other business combination transactions. At present, 719,~~340~~084,~~018~~306 units remain available under the Partnership’s registration ~~statement~~statements.

Regulation

Many aspects of the production, pricing and marketing of oil and natural gas are regulated by federal and state agencies. Legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, which frequently increases the regulatory burden on affected members of the industry. These laws and regulations have the potential to impact production on our properties, which could materially adversely affect our business and our prospects. Numerous federal, state, and local governmental agencies issue regulations that carry substantial administrative, civil, and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for non-compliance. Such regulation includes:

●

permits for the drilling of wells;

●

bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells;

●

the location and number of wells;

●

the method of drilling and completing wells;

●

the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled;

●

the plugging and abandonment of wells;

●

numerous federal and state safety requirements;

●

environmental requirements;

●

property taxes and severance taxes; and

●

specific state and federal income tax provisions.

Table of Contents

The strict, joint, and several liability nature of such laws and regulations could impose liability on our operators regardless of fault. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances, hydrocarbons, or other waste products into the environment. The long-term trend in environmental regulation has been towards more stringent regulations, and any changes that impact our operators and result in more stringent and costly pollution control could materially adversely affect our business and prospects.

Oil and natural gas operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These regulations govern the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and the density of wells that may be drilled and the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish a maximum allowable production from oil and natural gas wells. These state laws also generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability of production. These regulations can limit the amount of oil and natural gas that the operators of our properties can produce.

The transportation of oil and natural gas after sale by operators of our properties is sometimes subject to regulation by state authorities. The interstate transportation of oil and natural gas is subject to federal governmental regulation, including regulation of tariffs and various other matters, primarily by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Significant Customers

If we were to lose a significant customer, such loss could impact revenue. The loss of any single customer is mitigated by our diversified customer base and individually insignificant properties, and we do not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a long-term material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Royalty revenues from properties operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation and ~~Diamondback~~its ~~Energy,~~subsidiaries and ~~Inc.~~Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries, together, represented approximately 3125% of total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on midstream and refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national, or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. Our larger or more integrated competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state, and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.

Our ability to acquire additional mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and similar interests in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment mainly by issuing equity. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for ~~these~~additional ~~and other~~ oil and natural gas properties. Further, oil and natural gas compete with other forms of energy available to customers, primarily based on price. Changes in the availability or price of oil and natural gas or other forms of energy, as well as business conditions, conservation, legislation, regulations, and the ability to convert to alternate fuels and other forms of energy may affect the demand for oil and natural gas.

Business Opportunities Agreement

Pursuant to a business opportunities agreement among us, our General Partner, the general partner of our General Partner, and the owners of the general partner of our General Partner (the “GP Parties”), we have agreed that, except with the consent of our General Partner, which it may withhold in its sole discretion, we will not engage in any business not permitted by our partnership agreement, and we will have no interest or expectancy in any business opportunity that does not consist exclusively of the oil and natural gas business within a designated area that includes portions of Texas County, Oklahoma and Stevens County, Kansas. All opportunities that are outside the designated area or are not oil and natural gas business activities are called renounced opportunities.

The parties also have agreed that, as long as the activities of the General Partner, the GP Parties and their affiliates or manager designees are conducted in accordance with specified standards, or are renounced opportunities:

●

our General Partner, the GP Parties and their affiliates or the manager designees will not be prohibited from engaging in the oil and natural gas business or any other business, even if such activity is in direct or indirect competition with our business activities;

●

affiliates of our General Partner, the GP Parties and their affiliates and the manager designees will not have to offer us any business opportunity;

●

we will have no interest or expectancy in any business opportunity pursued by affiliates of our General Partner, the GP Parties or their affiliates and the manager designees; and

●

we waive any claim that any business opportunity pursued by our General Partner, the GP Parties or their affiliates and the manager designees constitutes a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to us.

The standards specified in the business opportunities agreement generally provide that the GP Parties and their affiliates and manager designees must conduct their business through the use of their own personnel and assets and not with the use of any personnel or assets of us, our General Partner or Operating Partnership. A manager designee or personnel of a company in which any affiliate of our General Partner or any GP Party or their affiliates has an interest or in which a manager designee is an owner, director, manager, partner or employee (except for our General Partner and its general partner and their subsidiaries) is not allowed to usurp a business opportunity solely for his or her personal benefit, as opposed to pursuing, for the benefit of the separate party an opportunity in accordance with the specified standards.

Table of Contents

In certain circumstances, if a GP Party or any subsidiary thereof, any officer of the general partner of our General Partner or any of their subsidiaries, or a manager of the general partner of our General Partner that is an affiliate of a GP Party signs a binding agreement to purchase oil and natural gas interests, excluding oil and natural gas working interests, then such party must notify us prior to the consummation of the transactions so that we may determine whether to pursue the purchase of the oil and natural gas interests directly from the seller. If we do not pursue the purchase of the oil and natural gas interests or fail to respond to the purchasing party's notice within the provided time, the opportunity will also be considered a renounced opportunity.

In the event any GP Party or one of their subsidiaries acquires an oil and natural gas interest, including oil and natural gas working interests, in the designated area, it will offer to sell these interests to us within one month of completing the acquisition. This obligation also applies to any package of oil and natural gas interests, including oil and natural gas working interests, if at least 20% of the net acreage of the package is within the designated area; however, this obligation does not apply to interests purchased in a transaction in which the procedures described above were applied and followed by the applicable affiliate.

Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks

Our operations do not directly involve the operational risks and uncertainties associated with drilling for, and the production and transportation of, oil and natural gas. However, we may be indirectly affected by the operational risks and uncertainties faced by the operators of our properties, whose operations may be materially curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, including:

●

the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations;

●

accidents;

●

title problems;

●

weather conditions;

●

compliance with governmental requirements; and

●

shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment.

Also, the ability of the operators of our properties to market oil and natural gas production depends on numerous factors, many of which are beyond their control, including:

●

capacity and availability of oil and natural gas systems and pipelines;

●

effect of federal and state production and transportation regulations;

●

changes in supply and demand for oil and natural gas; and

●

creditworthiness of the purchasers of oil and natural gas.

The occurrence of an operational risk or uncertainty that materially impacts the operations of the operators of our properties could have a material adverse effect on the amount that we receive in connection with our interests in production from our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or result of operations.

In accordance with customary industry practices, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks to which our business exposes us. While we believe that we are reasonably insured against these risks, the occurrence of an uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Human Capital Resources

Employees

As of February 2024, ~~2025~~2026, the Operating Partnership had 2726 full-time employees in our Dallas, Texas corporate office. Our workforce is our most important asset, and we structure compensation and benefit programs to attract and retain high quality colleagues while providing a flexible hybrid work environment. Our compensation and benefit programs include but are not limited to cash and equity bonuses, a SEP IRA plan, insurance plans, and long-term incentives. We support employees in continual training and professional skill development. We offer annual training on compliance, safety, and leadership.

Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to and value hiring employees with varied personal and professional backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion. The diversity of our employees is a tremendous asset, and we are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and will not tolerate acts of discrimination or harassment. We are committed to employing and advancing in employment all persons without regard to their race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, veteran status, disability, or other protected categories.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business

Our cash distributions are highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices, which have historically been very volatile.

Our quarterly cash distributions depend significantly on the prices realized from the sale of natural gas and, in particular, oil. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Various factors that are beyond our control will affect prices of oil and natural gas, such as:

●

the worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and natural gas;

●

the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and others to agree to and maintain oil prices and production controls;

●

political instability or armed conflict in oil-producing regions;

●

the price and level of foreign imports;

●

the level of consumer demand;

●

the price and availability of alternative fuels;

●

the availability of pipeline capacity;

●

technological advances affecting energy consumption;

●

weather conditions;

●

domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes; and

●

the overall economic environment.

Lower oil and natural gas prices may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that is economic to produce and may reduce our revenues and operating income. The volatility of oil and natural gas prices reduces the accuracy of estimates of future cash distributions to unitholders.

We do not control operations and development of the Royalty Properties or the properties underlying the ~~NPIs that the Operating Partnership does not operate~~NPI, which could impact the amount of our cash distributions.

As the owner of a fractional undivided mineral or royalty interest, we do not control the development of the Royalty or NPI properties or the volumes of oil and natural gas produced from them, and our ability to influence development of nonproducing properties is severely limited. Also, since one of our stated business objectives is to avoid the generation of unrelated business taxable income, we are prohibited from participation in the development of our properties as a working interest or other expense-bearing owner. The decision to explore or develop these properties, including infill drilling, exploration of horizons deeper or shallower than the currently producing intervals, and application of enhanced recovery techniques will be made by the operator and other working interest owners of each property (including our lessees) and may be influenced by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to oil and natural gas prices, interest rates, budgetary considerations and general industry and economic conditions.

Our unitholders are not able to influence or control the operation or future development of the properties underlying the ~~NPIs~~NPI. The Operating Partnership is unable to influence the operations or future development of properties that it does not operate. The current operators of the properties underlying the ~~NPIs~~ NPI are under no obligation to continue operating the underlying properties. Our unitholders do not have the right to replace an operator.

Our lease bonus revenue depends in significant part on the actions of third parties, which are outside of our control.

~~Significant~~Portions ~~portions~~ of the Royalty Properties are unleased mineral interests. With limited exceptions, we have the right to grant leases of these interests to third parties. We anticipate receiving cash payments as bonus consideration for granting these leases in most instances. Our ability to influence third parties' decisions to become our lessees with respect to these nonproducing properties is severely limited, and those decisions may be influenced by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to oil and natural gas prices, interest rates, budgetary considerations, and general industry and economic conditions.

The Operating Partnership may transfer or abandon properties that are subject to the ~~NPIs~~NPI.

Our General Partner, through the Operating Partnership, may at any time transfer all or part of the properties underlying the ~~NPIs~~NPI. Our unitholders are not entitled to vote on any transfer; however, any such transfer must also simultaneously include the ~~NPIs~~ NPI at a corresponding price.

The Operating Partnership or any transferee may abandon any well or property if it reasonably believes that the well or property can no longer produce in commercially economic quantities. This could result in termination of the ~~NPIs~~ NPI relating to the abandoned well or property.

Cash distributions are affected by production and other costs, most of which are outside of our control.

The cash available for distribution that comes from our royalty and mineral interests, including the ~~NPIs~~NPI, is directly affected by increases in production costs and other costs. Most of these costs are outside of our control, including costs of regulatory compliance and severance and other similar taxes. Other expenditures are dictated by business necessity, such as drilling additional wells in response to the drilling activity of others.

Table of Contents

Our oil and natural gas reserves and the underlying properties are depleting assets, and there are limitations on our ability to replace them.

Our revenues and distributions depend in large part on the quantity of oil and natural gas produced from properties in which we hold an interest. Over time, all of our producing oil and natural gas properties will experience declines in production due to depletion of their oil and natural gas reservoirs, with the rates of decline varying by property. Replacement of reserves to maintain production levels requires maintenance, development or exploration projects on existing properties, or the acquisition of additional properties.

The timing and size of maintenance, development or exploration projects will depend on the market prices of oil and natural gas and on other factors beyond our control. All of the decisions regarding implementation of such projects, including drilling or exploration on any unleased and undeveloped acreage, will be made by third parties.

Our ability to increase reserves through future acquisitions is limited by restrictions on our use of operating cash and limited partnership interests for acquisitions and by our General Partner's obligation to use all reasonable efforts (such as limiting acquisitions to acquisitions of NPIs and royalty interests) to avoid unrelated business taxable income. In addition, the ability of affiliates of our General Partner to pursue business opportunities for their own accounts without tendering them to us in certain circumstances may reduce the acquisitions presented to us for consideration.

Acreage must be drilled before lease expiration, generally within three years, in order to hold the acreage by production. Our operators’ failure to drill sufficient wells to hold acreage may result in the deferral of prospective drilling opportunities. In addition, our ORRIs may terminate if the underlying acreage is not drilled before the expiration of the applicable lease or if the lease otherwise terminates.

Leases on oil and natural gas properties typically have a term of three years, after which they expire unless, prior to expiration, production is established within the spacing units covering the undeveloped acres. In addition, even if production or drilling is established during such primary term, if production or drilling ceases on the leased property, the lease typically terminates, subject to certain exceptions.

Any reduction in our operators’ drilling programs, either through a reduction in capital expenditures or the unavailability of equipment, services, or supplies, could result in the expiration of existing leases. If the lease governing any of our mineral interests expires or terminates, all development rights typically revert back to us, and we may seek new lessees to explore and develop such mineral interests or in some states remain unleased. If the lease underlying any of our ORRIs expires or terminates, our ORRIs that are derived from such lease will also terminate. Any such expirations or terminations of our leases or our ORRIs could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

If our operators suspend our right to receive royalty payments due to title or other issues, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our business depends, in part, on acquisitions which contribute to the growth of our reserves, production and cash generated from operations. In connection with these acquisitions, we are conveyed record title to mineral and royalty interests. Due to such changes in ownership of mineral interests, the operator of the underlying property has the right, at such operator’s discretion, to investigate and verify the title and ownership of mineral and royalty interests with respect to the properties it operates. If any title or ownership issues are not resolved to its reasonable satisfaction in accordance with customary industry standards, the operator has the right to suspend payment of the related royalty. If an operator of our properties is not satisfied with the documentation we provide to validate our ownership, such operator may suspend our royalty payment until such issues are resolved, at which time we would receive the full royalty payment which we would have otherwise received if not for the payment being suspended, without interest. Certain of our operators impose burdensome documentation requirements for title transfer and may keep royalty payments in suspense for significant periods of time. During the time that an operator puts our assets in pay suspense, we would not receive the applicable mineral or royalty payment owed to us from sales of the underlying oil or natural gas related to such mineral or royalty interest. If a significant amount of our royalty interests are placed in suspense, our results of operations and cash flow may be materially affected.

Title to the properties in which we have an interest may be impaired by title defects.

In our discretion, we may elect not to incur the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to our royalty and mineral interests. In such cases, we would rely upon the judgment of oil and gas lease brokers or landmen who perform the fieldwork in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before acquiring a specific royalty or mineral interest. The existence of a material title deficiency can have a significant adverse effect on the value of an interest and can further materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We may experience delays in ~~received~~ receiving royalty payments and be unable to replace operators that do not make required royalty payments, and we may not be able to terminate our leases with defaulting lessees if any of the operators on those leases declare bankruptcy.

We may experience delays in receiving royalty payments from our operators, including as a result of delayed division orders received by our operators. Typically, the failure of an operator to make royalty payments to which we are entitled, gives us the right to terminate the lease, repossess the property and enforce payment obligations under the lease. If we repossessed any of our properties, we would seek a replacement operator. However, we cannot guarantee finding a suitable replacement operator in such a circumstance and if we did, we might not be able to enter into a new lease on favorable terms within a reasonable period of time. In addition, the outgoing operator could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in which case our right to enforce or terminate the lease for any defaults, including non-payment, may be substantially delayed or otherwise at risk. In general, in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, the bankrupt operator would have an extended period of time to decide whether to ultimately reject or assume the lease, which could significantly delay or prevent the execution of a new lease or the assignment of the existing lease to a replacement operator. In the event that an operator rejects the lease, our ability to collect amounts owed to us would be substantially delayed, and our ultimate recovery may be only a fraction of the amount owed or nothing. In addition, if we are able to enter into a new lease with a new operator, there is no guarantee that such replacement operator will achieve the same levels of production or sell oil or natural gas at the same price as the operator it replaced.

We do not currently plan to enter into hedging arrangements with respect to the oil and natural gas production from our properties, and we will be exposed to the impact of decreases in the price of oil and natural gas.

We do not currently plan to enter into hedging arrangements to establish, in advance, a price for the sale of the oil and natural gas produced from our properties. As a result, although we may realize the benefit of any short-term increase in the price of oil and natural gas, we will not be protected against decreases in the price of oil and natural gas or prolonged periods of low commodity prices, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operation and cash available for distribution. If we enter into hedging arrangements in the future, it may limit our ability to realize the benefit of rising prices and may result in hedging losses.

Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, which may adversely affect our and our operators’ ability to succeed.

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and the operators of our properties compete with other companies that may have greater resources or greater access to capital. Many of these companies explore for and produce oil and natural gas, carry on midstream and refining operations, and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods when market prices of oil and natural gas are low. Our operators’ larger competitors may be able to better address the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than our operators can, which could adversely affect our operators’ competitive position. Our operators may have access to fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our operators’ industry and may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties. Furthermore, the oil and natural gas industry has ~~experienced~~and ~~recent~~continues to experience consolidation amongst some operators, which has resulted in certain instances of combined companies with larger resources. Such combined companies may compete against our operators or, in the case of consolidation amongst our operators, may choose to focus their operations on areas outside of our properties. In addition, we cannot guarantee our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future as this will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Drilling activities on our properties may not be productive, which could have an adverse effect on future results of operations and financial condition.

The Operating Partnership may participate in drilling activities in limited circumstances on the properties underlying the ~~NPIs~~NPI, and third parties may undertake drilling activities on our properties. Any increases in our reserves will come from such drilling activities or from acquisitions.

Drilling involves a wide variety of risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain, and drilling operations may be delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including:

●

pressure or irregularities in formations;

●

equipment failures or accidents;

●

unexpected drilling conditions;

●

shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment;

●

adverse weather conditions; and

●

disputes with drill-site owners.

Future drilling activities on our properties may not be successful. If these activities are unsuccessful, this failure could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. In addition, under the terms of the ~~NPIs~~NPI, the costs of unsuccessful future drilling on the working interest properties that are subject to the ~~NPIs~~ NPI will reduce amounts payable to us under the ~~NPIs~~ NPI by 96.97% of these costs.

Our ability to identify and capitalize on acquisitions is limited by contractual provisions and substantial competition.

Our partnership agreement limits our ability to acquire oil and natural gas properties in the future, especially for consideration other than our limited partnership interests or cash proceeds of a securities offering. Because of the limitations on our use of operating cash for acquisitions and on our ability to accumulate operating cash for acquisition purposes, we may be required to attempt to effect acquisitions by first selling our securities to raise cash or by issuing our limited partnership interests. However, we may be unable to sell our securities in sufficient quantities and for sufficient consideration to provide adequate consideration to fund an acquisition, and sellers of properties we would like to acquire may be unwilling to take our limited partnership interests in exchange for properties.

Our partnership agreement obligates our General Partner to use all reasonable efforts to avoid generating unrelated business taxable income. Accordingly, to acquire working interests we would have to arrange for them to be converted into overriding royalty interests, net profits interests, or another type of interest that does not generate unrelated business taxable income. Third parties may be less likely to deal with us than with a purchaser to which such a condition would not apply. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing or completing business opportunities that might benefit us and our unitholders, particularly unitholders who are not tax-exempt investors.

The duty of affiliates of our General Partner to present acquisition opportunities to our Partnership is limited, pursuant to the terms of the business opportunities agreement. Accordingly, business opportunities that could potentially be pursued by us might not necessarily come to our attention, which could limit our ability to pursue a business strategy of acquiring oil and natural gas properties.

We compete with other companies and producers for acquisitions of oil and natural gas interests. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial flexibility and other resources than we do.

Any future acquisitions will involve risks that could adversely affect our business, which our unitholders generally will not have the opportunity to evaluate.

Our current strategy contemplates that we may grow through acquisitions and development of our undeveloped property. We expect to participate in discussions relating to potential acquisition and investment opportunities. If we consummate any additional acquisitions and investments, our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly, and our unitholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial and other relevant information that we will consider in connection with the acquisition, unless the terms of the acquisition require approval of our unitholders. Additionally, our unitholders will bear 100% of the dilution from issuing new common units while receiving essentially 96% of the benefit, as 4% of the benefit goes to our General Partner.

Acquisitions and business expansions involve numerous risks, including assimilation difficulties, unfamiliarity with new assets or new geographic areas and the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns. In addition, the success of any acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including the ability to estimate accurately the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future production and future net revenues attributable to reserves and to assess possible environmental liabilities. Our review and analysis of properties prior to any acquisition will be subject to uncertainties and, consistent with industry practice, may be limited in scope. We may not be able to successfully integrate any oil and natural gas properties that we acquire into our operations, or we may not achieve desired profitability objectives.

A natural disaster or catastrophe could damage pipelines, gathering systems and other facilities that service our properties, which could substantially limit our operations and adversely affect our cash flow.

If gathering systems, pipelines or other facilities that serve our properties are damaged by any natural disaster, accident, catastrophe or other event, our income could be significantly interrupted. Any event that interrupts the production, gathering or transportation of our oil and natural gas, or which causes us to share in significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could adversely impact the market price of our limited partnership units and the amount of cash available for distribution to our unitholders. We do not carry business interruption insurance.

A significant portion of the properties subject to the ~~NPIs~~ NPI are geographically concentrated, which could cause net proceeds payable under the ~~NPIs~~ NPI to be impacted by regional events.

A significant portion of the properties subject to the ~~NPIs~~ NPI are properties located in the Bakken region and Permian Basin. Because of this geographic concentration, any regional events, including natural disasters that increase costs, reduce availability of equipment, services, or supplies, reduce demand or limit production may impact the net proceeds payable under the ~~NPIs~~ NPI more than if the properties were more geographically diversified.

Under the terms of the ~~NPIs~~NPI, much of the economic risk of the underlying properties is passed along to us.

Under the terms of the ~~NPIs~~NPI, virtually all costs that may be incurred in connection with the properties, including overhead costs that are not subject to an annual reimbursement limit, are deducted as production costs or excess production costs in determining amounts payable to us. Therefore, to the extent of the revenues from the burdened properties, we bear 96.97% of the costs of the working interest properties. If costs exceed revenues, we do not receive any payments under the ~~NPIs~~NPI. However, except as described below, we are not required to pay any excess costs.

The terms of the ~~NPIs~~ NPI provide for excess costs that cannot be charged currently because they exceed current revenues to be accumulated and charged in future periods, which could result in us not receiving any payments under the ~~NPIs~~ NPI until all prior uncharged costs have been recovered by the Operating Partnership.

Our cash flow is subject to operating hazards and unforeseen interruptions for which we may not be fully insured.

Neither we nor the Operating Partnership are fully insured against certain risks, either because such full insurance is not available or because of high premium costs. Operations that affect the properties are subject to all of the risks normally incident to the oil and natural gas business, including blowouts, cratering, explosions, and pollution and other environmental damage, any of which could result in substantial decreases in the cash flow from our royalty interests and other interests due to injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other property, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigations and penalties and suspension of operations. Any uninsured costs relating to the properties underlying the ~~NPIs~~ NPI will be deducted as a production cost in calculating the net proceeds payable to us.

Governmental policies, laws and regulations could have an adverse impact on our business and cash distributions.

Our business and the properties in which we hold interests are subject to federal, tribal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the oil and natural gas industry as well as regulations relating to environmental, health, and safety matters. These laws and regulations can have a significant impact on production and costs of production. Regulators have the ability, directly or indirectly, to limit production from our properties, and such limitations or changes in those limitations could negatively impact us in the future.

Cyber incidents or attacks targeting our systems and infrastructure used by the oil and natural gas industry and the use of artificial intelligence tools by us, the operators of our properties, vendors, suppliers, and other business partners may adversely impact our operations, and if we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate protection of our data, our business may be adversely impacted.

We and our operators increasingly rely on information technology systems to operate our respective businesses, and the oil and natural gas industry depends on digital technologies in exploration, development, production, and processing activities. Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow. Our technologies, systems, networks, including third party software, cloud services and other internally and externally hosted hardware and software platforms, and those of the operators of our properties, vendors, suppliers, and other business partners, may become the target of cyberattacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of business activities. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as surveillance, may remain undetected for some period of time. While we utilize various procedures and controls to mitigate exposure to such risk, cyber incidents and attacks are evolving and unpredictable. Security vulnerabilities may be introduced from the use of artificial intelligence by us, the operators of our properties, vendors, suppliers, and other business partners. Our information technology systems and any insurance coverage for protecting against cybersecurity risks may not be sufficient. As cyber security threats continue to evolve, including those leveraging the increasing availability and sophistication of artificial intelligence tools, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents. We may not have sufficient resources available to do so on a timely basis. It is not possible to predict all of the risks related to the use of artificial intelligence. It is possible that our business, finances, systems and assets could be compromised in a cyber attack or from the unintended consequences of the use of artificial intelligence tools by us, the operators of our properties, vendors, suppliers, and other business partners. In addition, new laws and regulations regarding cybersecurity and artificial intelligence may pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate costs, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in significant penalties and legal liability.

The Partnership may be adversely affected by price volatility in the oil and natural gas markets.

Historically, there has been price volatility in the oil and natural gas markets, which have been impacted by a number of factors, including actions by oil producing nations. ~~For~~Global ~~example,~~military ~~after~~conflicts ~~OPEC~~ and apolitical ~~group of oil producing nations led by Russia failed in March 2020 to agree on oil production cuts~~uncertainty, Saudi Arabia announced that it would cut oil prices and increase production, leading to a sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices. While OPEC, Russia and other oil producing countries reached an agreement in April 2020 to reduce production levels, and U.S. production declined, oil prices remained lower than in previous years on account of an oversupply of oil and natural gas, with a simultaneous decrease in demand as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy. Thereafter, in 2021, oil and natural gas prices significantly rebounded. However, global military conflicts, fluctuating interest rates, changes in tariff rates, global supply chain disruptions, concerns about a potential economic downturn or recession, recent measures to combat persistent inflation, and actions taken by OPEC and its non-OPEC allies, collectively OPEC+, continued to contribute to economic and pricing volatility during ~~2024~~2025. Oil and natural gas markets remain subject to price volatility, which may have a material adverse effect on our cash distributions in periods of lower prices. During periods of substantial declines in prices, ~~such as in 2020,~~ oil and natural gas operators on our properties may suspend drilling programs, which would impact our revenues and operating income. In the event that any wells on our properties are shut-in, restarting wells may require significant costs from our operators, and we cannot guarantee that they would be able to restart at the same level. Moreover, due to the extremely volatile market conditions, we are unable to predict the degree or duration of any adverse impact on our operations and financial condition and other risks in our industry may be enhanced by such conditions.

Continuing or worsening domestic inflationary issues and associated changes in federal monetary policy and increased tariffs by the United States on foreign jurisdictions may result in increases to the costs of the goods, services and labor used by our operators, which could cause their capital expenditures and operating costs to rise and may delay or restrict their exploration and development activities and in turn our business.

Recently, the U.S. has had periods of high inflation and increased tariffs on foreign jurisdictions. These inflationary and tariff pressures have resulted, and may continue to result, in increases to the costs of the goods, services and labor used by our operators, which ~~could~~has and may continue to cause their capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Sustained levels of high inflation have likewise caused the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates through 2025, ~~which~~with ~~could~~only ~~have~~slight moderation later in the ~~effects~~year. Sustained levels of ~~raising~~high interest rates, combined with expectations of no further rate cuts and potential future rate increases, as well as potential volatility in monetary policy resulting from new leadership at the federal reserve, could raise the cost of capital and ~~depressing~~ depress economic growth, either of which, or the combination thereof, could hurt the financial and operating results of our operators’ businesses. If our operators are unable to secure the goods, services and labor necessary for their operations at reasonable costs, their exploration and development activities could be delayed or restricted, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and free cash flow.

Regulatory and Environmental Risk Factors

Environmental costs and liabilities and changing environmental regulation could affect our cash flow.

As with other companies engaged in the ownership and production of oil and natural gas, we always have possible risk of exposure to environmental costs and liabilities because of the costs associated with environmental compliance or remediation. The properties in which we hold interests are subject to extensive federal, state, tribal and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental affairs, health and safety and waste management. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and permits, which could increase production costs on our properties and affect their cash flow. Third parties may also have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance. Because we do not directly operate our properties, our direct liability under environmental laws is limited. It is likely, however, that expenditures in connection with environmental matters, individually or as part of normal capital expenditure programs, will affect the net cash flow from our properties. Future environmental law developments, such as stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies, could significantly increase the costs of production from our properties and reduce our cash flow.

The following is a summary of some of the existing environmental laws, rules and regulations that apply to oil and natural gas operations, and that may indirectly affect our cash flow.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, and comparable state statutes impose strict liability (i.e., no showing of “fault” is required), and under certain circumstances, joint and several liability, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. The term “hazardous substance” is specifically defined to exclude petroleum, including crude oil and any fraction thereof, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Despite this exclusion, certain materials that are commonly used in connection with oil and natural gas operations are considered to be hazardous substances under CERCLA. Responsible persons include the current or former owner or operator of the site where the release occurred, and anyone who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site, regardless of whether the disposal of hazardous substances was lawful at the time of the disposal. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to strict, joint and several liabilities for the costs of investigating releases of hazardous substances, cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, damages to natural resources and certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The operators of our properties may be responsible under CERCLA for all or part of these costs. Although we are not an operator, our ownership of royalty interests could cause us to be responsible for all or part of such costs to the extent that CERCLA imposes such responsibilities on such parties as “owners.”

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Drilling fluids, produced water and many other wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of oil or natural gas are currently excluded from regulation under RCRA’s hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. In addition, exploration and production wastes are regulated under state laws analogous to RCRA. Many of our properties have produced oil and/or natural gas for many years. We have no knowledge of current and prior operators’ procedures with respect to the disposal of oil and natural gas wastes. Hydrocarbons or other solid or hazardous wastes may have been released on or under our properties by the operators or prior operators. Our properties and the materials disposed or released on, at, under or from them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws, and removal or remediation of such materials could be required by a governmental authority.

The Federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and comparable state laws regulate emissions of various air pollutants through air emissions permitting programs and other requirements, such as emissions controls. Existing laws and regulations and possible future laws and regulations may require our operators to obtain pre-approval for the expansion or modification of existing facilities or the construction of new facilities expected to produce air emissions and may impose stringent air permit requirements or mandate the use of specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) continues to develop New Source Performance standards for oil and natural gas facilities. On May 12, 2016, the EPA amended its regulations to impose new standards for methane and volatile organic compounds emissions for certain new, modified, and reconstructed equipment, processes, and activities across the oil and natural gas sector. However, on August 13, 2020, in response to an executive order by President Trump, the EPA amended the New Source Performance standards to ease regulatory burdens, including rescinding standards applicable to transmission or storage segments and eliminating methane requirements altogether. On June 30, 2021, President Biden signed into law a joint resolution of Congress disapproving the 2020 amendments, with the exception of some technical changes, thereby reinstating the prior standards. The EPA expects owners and operators of regulated sources to take “immediate steps” to comply with these standards. Additionally, on March 8, 2024, the EPA published a final rule that would expand and strengthen emission reduction requirements for both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry by requiring increased monitoring of fugitive emissions, imposing new requirements for pneumatic controllers and tank batteries, and prohibiting venting of natural gas in certain situations. Federal changes will affect state air permitting programs in states that administer the federal CAA under a delegation of authority, including states in which we have operations, and states will be required to adopt implementing plans for existing sources consistent with EPA’s emissions guidelines. Separately, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which amended CAA section 136(g) to delay the collection of data regarding the annual GHG emissions for oil and natural gas systems to 2034 and for each year thereafter, which may affect overall compliance timeframe. These new standards, to the extent implemented, as well as any future laws and their implementing regulations, may require our operators to obtain pre-approval for the expansion or modification of existing facilities or the construction of new facilities expected to produce air emissions, impose stringent air permit requirements, or mandate the use of specific equipment or technologies to control emissions, and compliance timeframes may be adjusted through EPA rulemakings or state plan approvals. We cannot predict the final regulatory requirements or the cost to our operators to comply with such requirements with any certainty.

On February 12, 2026, EPA announced a final rule rescinding its 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding (a regulatory determination that GHGs, specifically carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, threaten public health and welfare), and repealing all GHG emission standards and associated compliance, testing, reporting, averaging, banking and trading provisions for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty motor vehicles and engines under section 202(a) of the CAA. Although EPA deferred action on regulatory rollbacks of other GHG standards and reporting requirements under the CAA, revocation of the 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding marks a major shift in federal regulation and could potentially impact obligations regarding other GHG emissions, including those from the oil and gas industry. It is also possible that rescission of the 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding will give rise to greater and fragmented regulation at the state level, litigation from interested stakeholders challenging the repeal, and actions against GHG emitters under common law theories. Although we cannot predict whether and how federal and state regulators will proceed in the future, changes stemming from repeal of the EPA 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding could impact our operations and compliance costs.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the “Clean Water Act” or “CWA”) and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls on the discharge of pollutants and fill material, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances into regulated waters, including wetlands. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA, an analogous state agency, or, in the case of fill material, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (“USACOE”). The scope of waters regulated under the CWA has fluctuated in recent years. On June 29, 2015, the EPA and the USACOE jointly promulgated a final rule expanding the scope of “Waters of the United States” (“WOTUS”), which would have made additional waters subject to the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act. However, on October 22, 2019, the agencies published a final rule to repeal the 2015 WOTUS rule, and then, on April 21, 2020, the EPA and the USACOE published a final rule replacing the 2015 rule and significantly reducing the waters subject to federal regulation under the CWA. On August 30, 2021, a federal court struck down the replacement rule and, on January 18, 2023, the EPA and the USACOE published a final rule that would restore water protections that were in place prior to 2015. However, on May 25, 2023, the Supreme Court issued an opinion substantially narrowing the scope of “waters of the United States” protected under the CWA. On September 8, 2023, the EPA and the USACOE published a final rule conforming their regulations to the decision. These recent actions have provided some clarity. To the extent the EPA and the USACOE broadly interpret their jurisdiction and expand the range of properties subject to the CWA’s jurisdiction, our operators could face increased costs and delays with respect to obtaining permits for dredge and fill activities in wetland areas, which could cause delays in development and/or increase the cost of development and operation of those properties.

Spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (“SPCC”) regulations promulgated under the CWA and later amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 impose obligations and liabilities related to the prevention of oil spills and damages resulting from such spills into or threatening waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. For example, operators of certain oil and natural gas facilities that store oil in more than threshold quantities, the release of which could reasonably be expected to reach jurisdictional waters, must develop, implement, and maintain SPCC Plans. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the CWA and analogous state laws and regulations.

The EPA has also adopted regulations requiring certain oil and natural gas exploration and production facilities to obtain individual permits or coverage under general permits for storm water discharges. In addition, on June 28, 2016, the EPA published a final rule prohibiting the discharge of wastewater from onshore unconventional oil and natural gas extraction facilities to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. Costs may be associated with the treatment of wastewater or developing and implementing storm water pollution prevention plans, as well as for monitoring and sampling the storm water runoff from certain of our facilities. Some states also maintain groundwater protection programs that require permits for discharges or operations that may impact groundwater conditions.

Various federal laws, including the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and analogous state laws, restrict activities that may adversely affect listed endangered or threatened species or their habitat. If endangered or threatened species are located on our properties, operations on those properties could be prohibited or delayed or expensive mitigation may be required. Also, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) may designate critical habitat and suitable habitat areas that it believes are necessary for the survival of threatened or endangered species. A critical habitat or suitable habitat designation could result in further material restrictions to federal land use and private land use and could delay or prohibit land access, development or operations (including prevent oil and natural gas exploration or production). Additionally, the designation of previously unprotected species in areas where we operate as endangered or threatened could result in the imposition of restrictions on our operators and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business.

Oil and natural gas operations are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes and their implementing regulations. The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of CERCLA, the general duty clause and Risk Management Planning regulations promulgated under section 112(r) of the CAA and similar state statutes may require disclosure of information about hazardous materials used, produced or otherwise managed during operation. These laws also require the development of risk management plans for certain facilities to prevent accidental releases of extremely hazardous substances and to minimize the consequences of such releases should they occur.

The potential adoption of federal and state hydraulic fracturing laws or executive orders could delay or restrict development of our oil and natural gas properties.

Hydraulic fracturing is an important, common practice that is used to stimulate production of hydrocarbons from tight formations, including shales. The process, which involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production, is typically regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions. However, legislation has been proposed in recent sessions of Congress to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA”) to repeal the exemption for hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection,” to require federal permitting and regulatory control of hydraulic fracturing, and to require disclosure of the chemical constituents of the fluids used in the fracturing process. Furthermore, several federal agencies have asserted regulatory authority over certain aspects of the process. For example, the EPA has taken the position that hydraulic fracturing with fluids containing diesel fuel is subject to regulation under the Underground Injection Control program, specifically as “Class II” Underground Injection Control wells under the SDWA. Future federal laws or regulations could require hydraulic fracturing operations to meet permitting and financial assurance requirements, adhere to certain construction specifications, fulfill monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping obligations and meet plugging and abandonment requirements. Such federal legislation or regulation could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs and could result in additional regulatory burdens that could make it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing.

On April 24, 2024, several states challenged the 2024 waste prevention rule in federal court, which has resulted in a preliminary injunction against the BLM enforcing the rule in North Dakota, Texas, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Also, on April 23, 2024, the BLM published a final rule to update its oil and gas leasing regulations, which increases bonding requirements and raises royalty rates. Each of these regulations, to the extent that they are implemented, reinstated or modified, may result in additional levels of regulation or complexity that could lead to operational delays, increased operating costs and additional regulatory burdens that could make it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing and increase costs of compliance.

Additionally, certain states in which our properties are located, including Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming, have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, regulations that could impose more stringent permitting, public disclosure and well construction requirements on hydraulic-fracturing operations or otherwise seek to ban fracturing activities altogether. For example, pursuant to legislation adopted by the State of Texas in June 2011, the Railroad Commission of Texas enacted a rule in December 2011, requiring public disclosure of certain information regarding additives, chemical ingredients, concentrations and water volumes used in hydraulic fracturing. In addition to state laws, local land use restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict or prohibit well drilling in general and/or hydraulic fracturing in particular. In response to a 2014 ballot initiative by the voters of the City of Denton, Texas banning hydraulic fracturing, the Texas legislature enacted a statute preempting local government regulation of oil and natural gas activities, including hydraulic fracturing. In other states, however, local governments may retain the ability to directly or indirectly regulate hydraulic fracturing. State and local governments may also seek to regulate or recover costs of activities tangentially associated with hydraulic fracturing, such as increased truck traffic. In the event state, local, or municipal legal restrictions are adopted in areas where our properties are located, the cost of the operators of our oil and natural gas properties to comply with such requirements may be significant in nature, which may cause delays or curtailment in the pursuit of exploration, development, or production activities, and perhaps even preclude the operators from drilling wells.

Some states have become concerned about the connection between hydraulic fracturing-related activities, particularly the injection or disposal of produced water, and the increased occurrence of seismic activity, and they have adopted or are considering additional regulations regarding such activities. Changes in regulations or the inability to obtain permits for new disposal wells in the future may affect the ability of the operators of the Royalty Properties and the operators of the working interests and other properties underlying our ~~NPIs~~ NPI to dispose of produced water and ultimately increase the cost of operation of the Royalty Properties and the working interests and other properties underlying our ~~NPIs~~ NPI or delay production schedules. Certain state agencies, including those in Texas and Oklahoma, have implemented regulations authorizing the imposition of certain limitations on existing wells if seismic activity increases in the area of an injection well, including a temporary injection ban. For example, in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Corporations Commission (“OCC”) has implemented a variety of measures, including the adoption of the National Academy of Science’s “traffic light system,” pursuant to which the agency reviews new disposal well applications and may restrict operations at existing wells. Beginning in 2013, the OCC has ordered the reduction of disposal volumes into the Arbuckle formation. More recently, the OCC directed the shut in of a number of disposal wells due to increased earthquake activity in the Arbuckle formation and imposed further disposal well volume reductions in the Covington, Crescent, Enid, and Edmond areas. The Texas Railroad Commission has also implemented measures to assess the potential for seismic activity in the vicinity of disposal wells, and it has restricted and indefinitely suspended disposal well activities in some cases. Moreover, vigorous public debate over hydraulic fracturing and shale gas production continues and has resulted in delays of well permits in some areas.

Furthermore, there are certain governmental reviews either underway or being proposed that focus on environmental aspects of hydraulic fracturing practices. On December 13, 2016, the EPA released a study examining the potential for hydraulic fracturing activities to impact drinking water resources, finding that, under some circumstances, the use of water in hydraulic fracturing activities can impact drinking water resources. Also, on February 6, 2015, the EPA released a report with findings and recommendations related to public concern about induced seismic activity from disposal wells. The report recommends strategies for managing and minimizing the potential for significant injection-induced seismic events. Other governmental agencies have also evaluated or are evaluating various other aspects of hydraulic fracturing. These ongoing or proposed studies could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing, and could ultimately make it more difficult or costly for our operators to perform fracturing and increase their costs of compliance and doing business.

Climate change legislation or regulations could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas production from our properties.

In recent years, federal, state, and local governments have taken steps to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”), though policy changes at the federal level have caused uncertainty. For example, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) include billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration. Also, in March 2024, the EPA finalized ambitious rules to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions, including GHGs, from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027, which could decrease demand for, and in turn the prices of, oil and natural gas and adversely impact our business.

In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. Specifically, the IRA amends the Clean Air Act to impose a fee on the emission of methane that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their GHG emissions to the EPA, including sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. In If implemented, methane emissions charge could increase our operators’ costs, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and cash flows. However, on January 20, 2025, President Trump signed multiple executive orders seeking to reverse these climate incentives, including pausing the disbursement of funds under the IRA. The same day, President Trump also issued executive orders to encourage fossil fuel production and exploration on federal lands and waters, while moving away from renewable energy and electric vehicles. Such actions have the potential to impact prior efforts to transition the economy away from the use of fossil fuels and towards lower or zero-carbon emissions alternatives. Further, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which amended CAA section 136(g) to delay the collection of data regarding the annual GHG emissions for oil and natural gas systems to 2034 and for each year thereafter.

The EPA has also finalized a series of GHG monitoring, reporting and emission control rules for the oil and natural gas industry, and almost half of the states have taken measures to reduce GHG emissions primarily through the development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG cap and trade programs. The cap and trade programs require major sources of emissions or major fuel producers to acquire and surrender emission allowances corresponding with their annual emissions of GHGs. The number of allowances available for purchase is reduced each year until the overall GHG emission reduction goal is achieved. Many states also have enacted renewable portfolio standards, which require utilities to purchase a certain percentage of their energy from renewable fuel sources. In addition, states have imposed increasingly stringent requirements related to the venting or flaring of natural gas during oil and natural gas operations.

At the international level, the United States has been involved in negotiations regarding GHG reductions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC”). The U.S. was among approximately 195 nations that signed an international accord in December 2015, the so called Paris Agreement, which became effective on November 4, 2016, with the objective of limiting GHG emissions. On April 21, 2021, the United States announced that it was setting an economy-wide target of reducing its GHG emissions by 50-52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. In November 2021, in connection with Glasgow Climate Pact, the United States and other world leaders made further commitments to reduce GHG emissions, including reducing global methane emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030 from 2020 levels. More than 150 countries have now signed on to this pledge. Most recently, at the 28th Conference of the Parties in the United Arab Emirates, world leaders agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner and to triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally by 2030. Additionally, the Biden Administration announced a new climate target for the United States on December 19, 2024, which included a 61-66 percent reduction in economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, as compared to 2005 levels. Many state and local leaders have stated their intent to intensify efforts to support the international climate commitments. ~~Though~~On January 7, 2026, President Trump issued ana ~~executive~~memorandum ~~order~~directing onwithdrawal ~~January~~of ~~20, 2025, directing~~ the United States ~~Ambassador~~from tospecified international organizations and treaties, including the ~~United~~UN ~~Nations~~Framework toConvention ~~immediately~~on ~~withdraw~~Climate ~~from~~Change and the ~~Paris~~Intergovernmental ~~Agreement,~~Panel iton isClimate ~~possible~~Change, ~~that~~with ~~the~~implementation ~~Paris~~guidance ~~Agreement~~to ~~and~~be ~~other~~issued ~~domestic~~by ~~and~~the ~~international~~Secretary ~~regulatory~~of ~~requirements~~State. ~~will~~It ~~have~~is anpossible ~~adverse~~that ~~effect~~the onwithdrawals will impact the demand for oil and natural gas products.

Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether or when Congress may adopt additional climate change legislation, or whether EPA may promulgate additional regulation of GHGs from the oil and natural gas industry, any laws or regulations that may be adopted to restrict or reduce emissions of GHGs could require oil and natural gas operators that develop our properties to incur increased operating costs and could have an adverse effect on demand for the oil and natural gas produced from our properties.

It should also be noted that, recently, activists concerned about the potential effects of climate change have directed their attention at sources of funding for fossil fuel energy companies, which has resulted in certain financial institutions, funds and other sources of capital restricting or eliminating their investment in oil and natural gas activities. In addition, spurred by increasing concerns regarding climate change, the oil and natural gas industry faces growing demand for corporate transparency and a demonstrated commitment to sustainability goals. Environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) goals and programs, which typically include extralegal targets related to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and corporate governance, have become an increasing focus of investors and shareholders across the industry. While reporting on ESG metrics remains voluntary, access to capital and investors is likely to favor companies with robust ESG programs in place. The SEC published final rules on March 28, 2024, relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related risks and other information. Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the rules. In April 2024, the SEC agreed to pause the rules to facilitate an orderly judicial resolution. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the rules requiring disclosure of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions. Following the vote, the SEC staff sent a letter to the court stating that the Commission withdraws its defense of the rules and that Commission counsel are no longer authorized to advance the arguments in the brief the Commission had filed. To the extent the rules are implemented, the Partnership, our operators and/or our customers could incur increased costs related to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related information. Enhanced climate disclosure requirements could also accelerate any trend by certain stakeholders and capital providers to restrict or seek more stringent conditions with respect to their financing of certain carbon intensive sectors. Ultimately, these initiatives could make it more difficult to secure funding for exploration and production activities.

Finally, climate change may be associated with extreme weather conditions such as more intense hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and snow or ice storms, as well as rising sea levels. Another possible consequence of climate change is increased volatility in seasonal temperatures. Some studies indicate that climate change could cause some areas to experience temperatures substantially hotter or colder than their historical averages. Extreme weather conditions can interfere with our operators’ activities and increase their costs and damage resulting from extreme weather may not be fully insured. However, at this time, we are unable to determine the extent to which climate change may lead to increased storm or weather hazards affecting our operations.

Our oil and natural gas reserve data and future net revenue estimates are uncertain.

Estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues are projections based on engineering data and reports of independent consulting petroleum engineers hired for that purpose. The process of estimating reserves requires substantial judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations. Different reserve engineers may make different estimates of reserve quantities and related revenue based on the same data. Therefore, those estimates should not be construed as being accurate estimates of the current market value of our proved reserves. If these estimates prove to be inaccurate, our business may be adversely affected by lower revenues. We are affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices. Oil prices and natural gas prices may experience inverse price changes.

The outcome of pending litigation related to the Dakota Access Pipeline and any related executive orders could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and cash distributions.

In connection with ongoing litigation initiated in February 2017 by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe contesting the validity of the process used by the USACOE to permit the Dakota Access Pipeline, on July 6, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “Court”) issued an order vacating the USACOE’s easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline and requiring that the pipeline be shut down by August 5, 2020. Dakota Access, LLC and the USACOE appealed the decision. On July 14, 2020, the Court of Appeals granted a temporary administrative stay, and on January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals affirmed that part of the lower court decision vacating the USACOE’s easement while it prepares a new environmental impact statement, but reversed the lower court’s order to shut down the pipeline. Since then, both the Biden Administration and the Court have declined to shut down the pipeline, and on June 22, 2021, the Court dismissed the subject lawsuit. The Court noted, however, that future challenges were possible depending on the outcome of the ongoing environmental study, which the USACOE issued in draft form on September 8, 2023. On October 14, 2024, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a new lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the USACOE is allowing the pipeline to operate without the necessary easement and without an appropriate environmental impact statement. The USACOE and Dakota Access Pipeline filed motions to dismiss the case on January 17, 2025 The case was dismissed on March 28, ~~though~~2025. The Standing Rock Sioux appealed that dismissal on May 29, 2025 and litigation is ongoing. The USACOE completed the ~~matter~~final ~~remains~~environmental ~~pending~~impact study on December 19, 2025. Accordingly, the continued operation of Dakota Access Pipeline in the future is uncertain. While this litigation does not directly impact our operations, we derive a significant amount of revenue from the Royalty Properties and ~~NPIs~~ NPI we hold in the Bakken region, the region for which the Dakota Access Pipeline is ~~intended~~ considered to be a key pipeline. The outcome of this litigation may have a material adverse effect on our Royalty and NPI revenues derived from the Bakken region based on the timing of future development of wells on, or production of oil and natural gas from, or the method and cost of transportation related to the production on the properties. We have no control over the operation of such properties.

Risks Inherent Inin Anan Investment Inin Our Common Units

Cost reimbursement due our General Partner may be substantial and reduce our cash available to distribute to our unitholders.

Prior to making any distribution on the common units, we reimburse the General Partner and its affiliates for reasonable costs and expenses of management. The reimbursement of expenses could adversely affect our ability to pay cash distributions to our unitholders. Our General Partner has sole discretion to determine the amount of these expenses, subject to the annual limit of 5% of an amount primarily based on our distributions to partners for that fiscal year. The annual limit includes carry-forward and carry-back features, which could allow costs in a year to exceed what would otherwise be the annual reimbursement limit. In addition, our General Partner and its affiliates may provide us with other services for which we will be charged fees as determined by our General Partner.

Our net income as reported for tax and financial statement purposes may differ significantly from our cash flow that is used to determine cash available for distributions.

Net income as reported for financial statement purposes is presented on an accrual basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Unitholder Schedule K-1 tax statements are calculated based on applicable tax conventions, and taxable income as calculated for each year will be allocated among unitholders who hold units on the last day of each month. Distributions, however, are calculated on the basis of actual cash receipts, changes in cash reserves, and disbursements during the relevant reporting period. Consequently, due to timing differences between the receipt of proceeds of production and the point in time at which the production giving rise to those proceeds actually occurs, net income reported on our consolidated financial statements and on unitholder Schedule K-1 tax statements will not reflect actual cash distributions during that reporting period.

Our unitholders have limited voting rights and do not control our General Partner, and their ability to remove our General Partner is limited.

Our unitholders have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business. The general partner of our General Partner manages our activities. Our unitholders only have the right to annually elect the managers comprising the Advisory Committee of the Board of Managers of the general partner of our General Partner. Our unitholders do not have the right to elect the other managers of the general partner of our General Partner on an annual or any other basis.

Our General Partner may not be removed as our general partner except upon approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding common units (including common units owned by our General Partner and its affiliates), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Our General Partner and its affiliates do not own sufficient common units to be able to prevent its removal as general partner, but they do own sufficient common units to make the removal of our General Partner by other unitholders difficult.

These provisions may discourage a person or group from attempting to remove our General Partner or acquire control of us without the consent of our General Partner. As a result of these provisions, the price at which our common units trade may be lower because of the absence or reduction of a takeover premium in the trading price.

The control of our General Partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.

Our General Partner may withdraw or transfer its general partner interest to a third party in a merger or in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of our unitholders. Other than some transfer restrictions agreed to among the owners of our General Partner relating to their interests in our General Partner, there is no restriction in our partnership agreement or otherwise for the benefit of our limited partners on the ability of the owners of our General Partner to transfer their ownership interests to a third party. The new owner of the General Partner would then be in a position to replace the management of our Partnership with its own choices.

A group of unitholders own a large percentage of our units and have the right to appoint a Manager to our Board of Managers and may be able to exert significant influence over certain matters.

West Texas Minerals LLC and Carrollton Mineral Partners, LP, and certain affiliates, beneficially hold, in the aggregate, approximately 65.92% of our outstanding Units. These unitholders, acting together, would be able to influence all matters requiring unitholder approval and have the right to appoint a Manager to our Board of Managers, for so long as they collectively hold an aggregate of at least 1,000,000 Units. For example, these unitholders would be able to influence amendments of our organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate ~~transaction~~transactions.

Table of Contents

Our General Partner and its affiliates have conflicts of interests, which may permit our General Partner and its affiliates to favor their own interests to the detriment of unitholders.

We and our General Partner and its affiliates share, and therefore compete for, the time and effort of General Partner personnel who provide services to us. Officers of our General Partner and its affiliates do not, and are not required to, spend any specified percentage or amount of time on our business. In fact, our General Partner has a duty to manage our Partnership in the best interests of our unitholders, but it also has a duty to operate its business for the benefit of its partners. ~~Some of our officers are also involved in management and ownership roles in other oil and natural gas enterprises and have similar duties to them and devote time to their businesses.~~ Because these shared officers function as both our representatives and those of our General Partner and its affiliates ~~and of third parties~~, conflicts of interest could arise between our General Partner and its affiliates, on the one hand, and us or our unitholders, on the other~~, or between us or our unitholders on the one hand and the third parties for which our officers also serve management functions~~. As a result of these conflicts, our General Partner and its affiliates may favor their own interests over the interests of unitholders.

We may issue additional securities, diluting our unitholders' interests.

We can and may issue additional common units and other capital securities representing limited partnership units, including options, warrants, rights, appreciation rights and securities with rights to distributions and allocations or in liquidation equal or superior to our common units; however, a majority of the unitholders must approve such issuance if (i) the partnership securities to be issued will have greater rights or powers than our common units or (ii) if after giving effect to such issuance, such newly issued partnership securities represent over 40% of the outstanding limited partnership interests.

If we issue additional common units, it will reduce our unitholders' proportionate ownership interest in us. This could cause the market price of the common units to fall and reduce the per unit cash distributions paid to our unitholders. In addition, if we ~~issued~~ issue limited partnership units with voting rights superior to the common units, it could adversely affect our unitholders' voting power.

Our unitholders may not have limited liability in the circumstances described below and may be liable for the return of certain distributions.

Under Delaware law, our unitholders could be held liable for our obligations to the same extent as a general partner if a court determined that the right of unitholders to remove our General Partner or to take other action under our partnership agreement constituted participation in the "control" of our business.

Our General Partner generally has unlimited liability for the obligations of our Partnership, such as its debts and environmental liabilities, except for those contractual obligations of our Partnership that are expressly made without recourse to the General Partner.

In addition, Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provides that, under certain circumstances, a unitholder may be liable for the amount of distribution for a period of three years from the date of distribution.

Because we conduct our business in various states, the laws of those states may pose similar risks to our unitholders. To the extent to which we conduct business in any state, our unitholders might be held liable for our obligations as if they were general partners if a court or government agency determined that we had not complied with that state's partnership statute, or if rights of unitholders constituted participation in the "control" of our business under that state's partnership statute. In some of the states in which we conduct business, the limitations on the liability of limited partners for the obligations of a limited partnership have not been clearly established.

We are dependent upon key personnel, and the loss of services of any of our key personnel could adversely affect our operations.

Our continued success depends to a considerable extent upon the abilities and efforts of the senior management of our General Partner, ~~particularly William Casey McManemin, its Chief Executive Officer, and~~ our Chief Executive Officer, Bradley J. Ehrman, and Chief Financial Officer, Leslie A. Moriyama. The loss of the services of ~~any~~ either of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations. We have not obtained insurance or entered into employment agreements with ~~any~~ either of these key personnel.

We are dependent on service providers who assist us with providing Schedule K-1 tax statements to our unitholders.

There are a very limited number of service firms that currently perform the detailed computations needed to provide each unitholder with estimated depletion and other tax information to assist the unitholder in various U.S. federal income tax computations. There are also very few publicly traded limited partnerships that need these services. As a result, the future costs and timeliness of providing Schedule K-1 tax statements to our unitholders is uncertain.

Tax Risk Factors

The tax consequences to a unitholder of the ownership and sale of common units will depend in part on the unitholder’s tax circumstances. Each unitholder should consult such unitholder’s own tax advisor about the federal, state and local tax consequences of the ownership of common units.

We generally do not obtain rulings or assurances from the IRS or state or local taxing authorities on matters affecting us.

We generally have not requested, and do not intend to request, rulings from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, or state or local taxing authorities with respect to owning and disposing of our common units or other matters affecting us. It may be necessary to resort to administrative or court proceedings in an effort to sustain some or all of those conclusions or positions taken or expressed by us, and some or all of those conclusions or positions ultimately may not be sustained. Our unitholders and General Partner will bear, directly or indirectly, the costs of any contest with the IRS or other taxing authority. In 2020, we obtained a ruling from the IRS permitting us to aggregate the Minerals NPI, including the previously aggregated Maecenas NPI, Bradley NPI, Republic NPI, and Spinnaker NPI for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 2020.

We will be subject to federal income tax and possibly certain state corporate income or franchise taxes if we are classified as a corporation and not as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

The anticipated after-tax economic benefit of an investment in our common units depends largely on our being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Despite the fact that we are organized as a limited partnership under Delaware law, we would be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless we satisfy a "qualifying income" requirement. Based upon our current operations, we believe we satisfy the qualifying income requirement. However, we have not requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS on this or any other matter affecting us. A change in our business or a change in current law could cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to taxation as an entity.

If we were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate, which is currently a maximum of 21%, and would likely pay state income tax at varying rates. Distributions to our unitholders would generally be taxed again as corporate distributions, and no income, gains, losses or deductions would flow through to our unitholders. Because a tax would be imposed upon us as a corporation, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced. In addition, changes in current state law may subject us to additional entity-level taxation by individual states. Several states have subjected, or are evaluating ways to subject, partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise and other forms of taxation. Imposition of any such taxes may substantially reduce the cash available for distribution to our unitholders. Therefore, treatment of us as a corporation or the assessment of a material amount of entity-level taxation would result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to our unitholders, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our common units.

The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships or an investment in our common units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes or differing interpretations, possibly applied on a retroactive basis.

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, or an investment in our common units may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial changes or differing interpretations at any time. For example, from time to time, the President and members of Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that affect publicly traded partnerships, including elimination of partnership tax treatment for publicly traded partnerships.

Under current law, we believe that our royalty income is qualifying income for purposes of Section 7704(d)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the current law remains effective in its current form, we believe we will continue to be able to meet the qualifying income requirement. However, there can be no assurance that there will not be changes to the federal income tax laws or the Treasury Department's interpretation of the qualifying income rules in a manner that could impact our ability to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in the future.

Any modification to the federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof may or may not be retroactively applied and could make it more difficult or impossible for us to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or otherwise adversely affect us. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the value of an investment in our common units.

The ~~recently enacted~~ 20% deduction for certain pass-through income may not be available for our unitholders’ allocable share of our net income, in which case our unitholders’ tax liability with respect to ownership and disposition of our units may be materially higher than if the deduction is available.

~~For~~Under ~~taxable~~current ~~years~~law, ~~beginning~~which ~~after~~made ~~December~~permanent ~~31,~~the ~~2017~~20% ~~and~~deduction ~~ending~~that onwas orset ~~before~~to expire on December 31, 2025, an individual taxpayer may generally claim a deduction in the amount of 20% of its allocable share of certain publicly traded partnership income, including generally, among other items, the net amount of its items of income, gain, deduction, and loss from a publicly traded partnership’s U.S. trade or business. Because we own only non-operated, passive mineral and royalty interests, most or all of the income that we now generate, or will generate in the future, may not be “qualifying publicly traded partnership income” eligible for the 20% deduction. If the deduction is not available, our unitholders’ tax liability from ownership and disposition of our units may be materially higher than if the deduction is available. We urge our unitholders to consult with their tax advisors regarding the availability of the 20% deduction on any income allocated from us.

The IRS could reallocate items of income, gain, deduction and loss between transferors and transferees of common units if the IRS does not accept our monthly convention for allocating such items.

In general, each of our items of income, gain, loss and deduction will, for federal income tax purposes, be determined annually, and one twelfth of each annual amount will be allocated to those unitholders who hold common units on the last business day of each month in that year. In certain circumstances we may make these allocations in connection with extraordinary or nonrecurring events on a more frequent basis. As a result, transferees of our common units may be allocated items of our income, gain, loss and deduction realized by us prior to the date of their acquisition of our common units. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued final Treasury regulations that provide a safe harbor pursuant to which publicly traded partnerships may use a similar monthly simplifying convention to allocate tax items among transferors and transferee unitholders. Nonetheless, if the IRS challenges our method of allocation, our income, gain, loss and deduction may be reallocated among our unitholders and our General Partner, and our unitholders may have more taxable income or less taxable loss. Our General Partner is authorized to revise our method of allocation between transferors and transferees, as well as among our other unitholders whose common units otherwise vary during a taxable period, to conform to a method permitted or required by the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

Table of Contents

Our unitholders may not be able to deduct losses attributable to their common units.

Any losses relating to our unitholders’ common units will be losses related to portfolio income and their ability to use such losses may be limited.

Our unitholders’ partnership tax information may be audited.

We will furnish our unitholders with a Schedule K-1 tax statement that sets forth their allocable share of income, gains, losses and deductions. In preparing this schedule, we will use various accounting and reporting conventions and various depreciation and amortization methods we have adopted. This schedule may not yield a result that conforms to statutory or regulatory requirements or to administrative pronouncements of the IRS. Further, our tax return may be audited, and any such audit could result in an audit of our unitholders’ individual income tax returns as well as increased liabilities for taxes because of adjustments resulting from the audit. An audit of our unitholders’ returns also could be triggered if the tax information relating to their common units is not consistent with the Schedule K-1 that we are required to provide to the IRS.

Our unitholders may have more taxable income or less taxable loss with respect to their common units if the IRS does not respect our method for determining the adjusted tax basis of their common units.

We have adopted a reporting convention that will enable our unitholders to track the basis of their individual common units or unit groups and use this basis in calculating their basis adjustments under Section 743 of the Code and gain or loss on the sale of common units. This method does not comply with an IRS ruling that requires a portion of the combined tax basis of all common units to be allocated to each of the common units owned by a unitholder upon a sale or disposition of less than all of the common units and may be challenged by the IRS. If such a challenge is successful, our unitholders may recognize more taxable income or less taxable loss with respect to common units disposed of and common units they continue to hold.

Tax-exempt investors may recognize unrelated business taxable income.

Generally, unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI, can arise from a trade or business unrelated to the exempt purposes of the tax-exempt entity that is regularly carried on by either the tax-exempt entity or a partnership in which the tax-exempt entity is a partner. However, UBTI does not apply to interest income, royalties (including overriding royalties) or net profits interests, whether the royalties or net profits are measured by production or by gross or taxable income from the property. Pursuant to the provisions of our partnership agreement, our General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent us from realizing income that would constitute UBTI. In addition, our General Partner is prohibited from incurring certain types and amounts of indebtedness and from directly owning working interests or cost bearing interests and, in the event that any of our assets become working interests or cost bearing interests, is required to assign such interests to the Operating Partnership subject to the reservation of a net profits overriding royalty interest. However, it is possible that we may realize income that would constitute UBTI in an effort to maximize unitholder value.

Tax consequences of certain NPIs are uncertain.

We are prohibited from owning working interests or cost-bearing interests. At the time of the creation of the Minerals NPI, we assigned to the Operating Partnership all rights in any such working interests or cost-bearing interests that might subsequently be created from the mineral properties that were and are subject of the Minerals NPI. As additional working interests and other cost-bearing interests are created out of such mineral properties, they are owned by the Operating Partnership pursuant to such original assignment, and we have executed various documents since the creation of the Minerals NPI to confirm such treatment under the original assignment. This treatment could be characterized differently by the IRS, and in such a case we are unable to predict, with certainty, all of the income tax consequences relating to the Minerals NPI as it relates to such working interests and other cost-bearing interests.

Our unitholders may not be entitled to deductions for percentage depletion with respect to our oil and natural gas interests.

Our unitholders will be entitled to deductions for the greater of either cost depletion or (if otherwise allowable) percentage depletion with respect to the oil and natural gas interests owned by us. However, percentage depletion is generally available to a unitholder only if the unitholder qualifies under the independent producer exemption contained in the Code. For this purpose, an independent producer is a person not directly or indirectly involved in the retail sale of oil, natural gas, or derivative products or the operation of a major refinery. If a unitholder does not qualify under the independent producer exemption, the unitholder generally will be restricted to deductions based on cost depletion.

Our unitholders may have more taxable income or less taxable loss on an ongoing basis if the IRS does not accept our method of allocating depletion deductions.

The Code requires that income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest be allocated so that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, unrealized gain or unrealized loss, referred to as “Built-in Gain” and “Built-in Loss,” respectively, associated with the property at the time of its contribution to the partnership. Our partnership agreement provides that the adjusted tax basis of the oil and natural gas properties contributed to us generally is allocated to the contributing partners for the purpose of separately determining depletion deductions. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale of property contributed to us generally will be allocated to the partners that contributed the property, in proportion to their percentage interest in the contributed property, to take into account any Built-in Gain or Built-in Loss. This method of allocating Built-in Gain and Built-in Loss is not specifically permitted by the applicable Treasury regulations, and the IRS may challenge this method. Such a challenge, if successful, could cause our unitholders to recognize more taxable income or less taxable loss on an ongoing basis in respect of their common units.

Our unitholders may have more taxable income or less taxable loss on an ongoing basis if the IRS does not accept our method of determining a unitholder's share of the basis of partnership property.

Our General Partner utilizes a method of calculating each unitholder's share of the basis of partnership property that results in an aggregate basis for depletion purposes that reflects the purchase price of common units as paid by the unitholder. This method is not specifically authorized under applicable Treasury regulations, and the IRS may challenge this method. Such a challenge, if successful, could cause our unitholders to recognize more taxable income or less taxable loss on an ongoing basis in respect of their common units.

The ratio of the amount of taxable income that will be allocated to a unitholder to the amount of cash that will be distributed to a unitholder is uncertain, and cash distributed to a unitholder may not be sufficient to pay tax on the income we allocate to a unitholder.

The amount of taxable income realized by a unitholder will be dependent upon a number of factors, and so we cannot predict the ratio of the amount of taxable income that will be allocated to a unitholder to the amount of cash that will be distributed to a unitholder. Unitholders will be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes and, in some cases, state and local income taxes, on their share of taxable income, whether or not they receive cash distributions from us equal to their share of our taxable income or even equal to the actual tax liability that results from that income.

A unitholder may lose ~~his~~ its status as a partner of our Partnership for federal income tax purposes if the unitholder lends our common units to a short seller to cover a short sale of such common units.

If a unitholder loans ~~his~~ its common units to a short seller to cover a short sale of common units, the unitholder may be considered as having disposed of ~~his~~ its ownership of those common units for federal income tax purposes. If so, the unitholder would no longer be a partner of our Partnership for tax purposes with respect to those common units during the period of the loan and may recognize gain or loss from the disposition. As a result, during this period, any of our income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to those common units would not be reportable, and any cash distributions received for those common units would be fully taxable and may be treated as ordinary income.

Foreign, state and local taxes could be withheld on amounts otherwise distributable to a unitholder.

A unitholder may be required to file tax returns and be subject to tax liability in the foreign, state or local jurisdictions where the unitholder resides and in each state or local jurisdiction in which we have assets or otherwise do business. We also may be required to withhold state income tax from distributions otherwise payable to a unitholder, and state income tax may be withheld by others on royalty payments to us.

If the IRS makes audit adjustments to our income tax returns ~~for tax years beginning after 2017~~, it may collect any resulting taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly from us. We generally will have the ability to shift any such tax liability (including any applicable penalties and interest) to our General Partner and our unitholders in accordance with their interests in us during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so under all circumstances. If we are unable to have our unitholders take such audit adjustment into account in accordance with their interests in us during the tax year under audit, our current unitholders may bear some or all of the economic burden resulting from such audit adjustment, even if such unitholders did not own units in us during the tax year under audit. If we are required to make payments of taxes, penalties and interest resulting from audit adjustments, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders might be substantially reduced.

Our unitholders may be subject to withholding tax upon transfers of their common units.

If a unitholder sells or otherwise disposes of a common unit on or after January 1, 2023, the transferee generally will be required to withhold 10% of the amount realized by the transferor unless the transferor certifies that it is not a foreign person. However, final regulations issued by the Treasury Department on the application of these rules to transfers of certain publicly traded partnership interests, including our common units, provide that the obligation to withhold on a transfer of interests in a publicly traded partnership that is effected through a broker is imposed on the transferor’s broker (instead of the transferee), and the “amount realized” on such a transfer will generally be the amount of gross proceeds paid to the broker effecting the applicable transfer on behalf of the transferor (and thus determined without regard to any decrease in that transferor’s share of the publicly traded partnership's liabilities). Prospective foreign unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the impact of these rules on an investment in our common units.

General Risk Factors

Public health threats could have an adverse effect on our Partnership, our cash flow and our industry.

Public health threats and other highly communicable diseases, outbreaks of which have been occurring in across the world, including the United States, could adversely impact our Partnership, drilling activities on our properties and the global economy.

In particular, the outbreak starting in 2020 of a coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in quarantines, restrictions on travel and a decrease in economic activity across the world, which then resulted in a decrease in demand for hydrocarbons. At its height, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on the global economy, supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. ~~Although~~While ~~the~~in ~~effects~~May of2023 the ~~pandemic~~World ~~during~~Health ~~2022~~Organization ~~were~~(“WHO”) ~~not~~determined asCOVID-19 ~~significant~~to asbe ~~prior~~an ~~years,~~established ~~new~~and ~~variants~~ongoing ~~continued~~health toissue ~~cause~~which ~~waves~~no oflonger ~~COVID-19~~constitutes ~~cases~~a ~~around~~public ~~the~~health ~~world.~~emergency ~~The~~of international concern, the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing variants ~~may~~or ~~continue~~a tonew global public health crisis may have a material adverse effect on the demand for hydrocarbons and the prices at which they are sold, which may impact our revenues and operating income, our cash distributions and our business generally. It is impossible to predict the effect of ~~the~~a global public health crisis, including continued spread, or fear of continued spread, of COVID-19 and its ongoing variants globally. Noor ~~assurance~~the ~~can~~occurrence beof ~~given~~a ~~that~~new global public health ~~threats~~crisis ~~will~~of ~~not~~similar ~~have~~magnitude. aNo ~~material~~assurance ~~adverse~~can ~~effect,~~be ~~and~~given that ~~any~~public ~~further~~health ~~spread~~threats ~~of COVID-19 and its ongoing variants~~ will not have a material adverse effect, on our business, operations and financial results.

The Partnership may be adversely affected by the international economic instability caused by ongoing global conflicts.

From 2022 through ~~2024~~2025, multiple global military conflicts arose causing instability in the international economy which ~~may~~has continued ~~continue~~ into ~~2025~~2026. Although the length, impact and outcome of these military conflicts are highly unpredictable, an escalation or expansion of any of these conflicts could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including disruptions to the oil and gas industry, significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability and other material and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions. It is not possible at this time to predict or determine the ultimate consequences of these ongoing conflicts.

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will continue to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company and large accelerated filer, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses~~, particularly since we are now a large accelerated filer and are no longer a smaller reporting company~~. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased, and will continue to increase, our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. If, notwithstanding our efforts to comply with new or changing laws, regulations, and standards, we fail to comply, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be harmed. Further, failure to comply with these laws, regulations and standards may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members to serve on our board of managers or committees or as members of senior management. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in future uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

We maintain a comprehensive process for identifying, assessing, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats as part of our broader risk management process. Our executive officers, along with input from our outsourced IT managed services provider, other external experts, and department managers, are responsible for our overall enterprise risk assessment and management process and regularly consider cybersecurity risks in the context of other material risks to the Partnership. We obtain input on the security industry and threat trends for our cybersecurity risk management processes from external experts, as appropriate. Our outsourced IT managed services provider has expertise in areas including, but not limited to, information technology and infrastructure, network and communications architecture, information systems and database management, back up management, and cybersecurity.

Our risk management process also assesses third party risks. We perform assessments to identify and mitigate risks from third parties such as vendors and other business partners associated with our use of third party service providers. Cybersecurity risks are evaluated when determining the selection and oversight of applicable third party service providers and potential fourth party risks when handling and/or processing employee, business, or customer data.

To protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, we, among other things: (i) conduct regular reviews of information systems security programs and policies, (ii) perform penetration testing using external third party tools and techniques to test security controls, (iii) provide employee training, (iv) monitor emerging trends, laws, and regulations related to data protection and information security, and (v) use various security tools that help monitor, prevent, identify, escalate, investigate, resolve, and recover from identified vulnerabilities and security incidents in a timely manner, including, but not limited to, monitoring and detection tools managed by external experts and internal reporting.

We, in coordination with external experts, have implemented a cyber and data security incident response plan that has four overarching and interconnected stages: 1(i) preparation for a cybersecurity incident, 2(ii) identification, analysis, and notification of a security incident by external experts, as applicable, 3(iii) containment, eradication, and recovery, and 4(iv) post-incident analysis and learnings for future preparedness. Such incident responses are managed by our outsourced IT managed services provider, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and department managers, who, together, comprise our primary incident response team. As part of our cybersecurity risk management process, our incident response team logs and tracks privacy and security incidents across the Partnership, vendors, third party service providers, and other business partners. Cyber and data security incidents are evaluated to determine materiality, as well as operational, business, and privacy impact, ranked by severity, and prioritized for response and remediation. Significant incidents are evaluated by the primary incident response team to determine whether further escalation is appropriate, and any incident assessed as potentially being or potentially becoming material is immediately escalated for further assessment and reported to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). We consult with outside counsel and other subject matter experts regarding materiality analysis, disclosure, and other compliance matters, as appropriate, and our executive officers, with input from the Board of Managers, as appropriate, make the final materiality determinations and disclosure and other compliance decisions. Our management apprises the Partnership’s independent public accounting firm of matters and any relevant developments.

The Advisory Committee of the Board of Managers of the general partner of our General Partner has oversight responsibility for risks and incidents relating to cybersecurity threats, including compliance with disclosure requirements, cooperation with law enforcement, and related effects on financial and other risks, and it reports any findings and recommendations, as appropriate, to the full Board of Managers for consideration. Reports are periodically provided to the Advisory Committee during our board meetings by the individuals who oversee risk management in cybersecurity. This includes existing and new cybersecurity risks, including artificial intelligence, status on how management is addressing and/or mitigating those risks, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents (if any), and status on key information security initiatives. Members of the Board of Managers also engage in ad hoc conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.

As of the date of this filing, our business strategy, results of operations, and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future material incidents. For more information on our cybersecurity related risks, see "Item 1A – Risk Factors".

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Facilities

Our corporate office is located in Dallas, Texas and consists of 11,847 square feet of leased office space.

Properties

We own two categories of properties: Royalty Properties and net profits overriding royalty interests (referred to as the “Net Profits Interest”, or “NPI”).

Royalty Properties

We own Royalty Properties representing producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profit and leasehold interests in properties located in 594 counties and parishes in 28 states. Acreage amounts listed herein represent our best estimates based on information provided to us as a royalty owner. Due to the significant number of individual deeds, leases and similar instruments involved in the acquisition and development of the Royalty Properties by us or our predecessors, acreage amounts are subject to change as new information becomes available. In addition, as a royalty owner, our access to information concerning activity and operations on the Royalty Properties is limited. Most of our producing properties are subject to old leases and other contracts pursuant to which we are not entitled to well information. Some of our newer leases provide for access to technical data and other information. We may have limited access to public data in some areas through third party subscription services. Consequently, the exact number of wells producing from or drilling on the Royalty Properties at a given point in time is not easily determinable. The primary manner by which we will become aware of activity on the Royalty Properties is ~~the~~ receipt of division orders or other correspondence from operators or purchasers.

Acreage Summary

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, a summary of our gross and net acres, where applicable, of mineral, royalty, overriding royalty and leasehold interests, and a compilation of the number of counties and parishes and states in which these interests are located. The majority of our net mineral acres are unleased.

					Overriding
	Mineral		Royalty		Royalty		Leasehold
Number of States		28		17		17		8
Number of Counties/Parishes		525		196		151		33
Gross Acres		2,~~951~~953,000		679,000		370,000		24,000
Net Acres (where applicable)		~~471~~473,000		-		-		-

Our net interest in production from royalty, overriding royalty and leasehold interests is based on lease royalty and other third party contractual terms, which vary from property to property. Consequently, net acreage ownership in these categories is not determinable. Our net interest in production from properties in which we own a royalty or overriding royalty interest may be affected by royalty terms negotiated by the previous mineral interest owners in such tracts and their lessees. Our interest in the majority of these properties is perpetual in nature. However, a minor portion of the properties are subject to terms and conditions pursuant to which a portion of our interest may terminate upon cessation of production.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the combined summary of total gross and net acres, where applicable, of mineral, royalty, overriding royalty and leasehold interests in each of the states in which these interests are located. Overriding royalty interests are only included in gross acre totals.

Payments received for shut-in and delay rental payments, coal royalty, surface use agreements, litigation judgments and settlement proceeds are reflected in our accompanying consolidated financial statements in other operating revenues.

Net Profits Interests

The NPI represents a net profits overriding royalty interest burdening various properties owned by the Operating Partnership. We receive monthly payments from the NPI equaling 96.97% of the net profits realized by the Operating Partnership from these properties in the preceding month. In the event that costs, including budgeted capital expenditures, exceed revenues on a cash basis in a given month for properties subject to the NPI, no payment is made, and any deficit is accumulated and reflected in the following month's calculation of net profit. In the event that the NPI has a deficit of cumulative revenue versus cumulative costs, the deficit will be borne solely by the Operating Partnership.

From a cash perspective, as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Minerals NPI ~~was in a surplus position and~~ had outstanding capital commitments, primarily in the Bakken region, ~~equaling cash on hand~~ of $38.5 million.

Acreage Summary

The following tables set forth, as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, information concerning properties owned by the Operating Partnership and subject to the NPI. Acreage amounts listed under “Leasehold” reflect gross acres leased by the Operating Partnership and the working interest share (net acres) in those properties. Acreage amounts listed under “Mineral” reflect gross acres in which the Operating Partnership owns a mineral interest and the undivided mineral interest (net acres) in those properties. The Operating Partnership's interest in these properties may be unleased, leased by others or a combination thereof. In addition to amounts listed below, the Operating Partnership owns interests limited to certain wellbores located on lands in which we own mineral, royalty or leasehold interests. The acreage amounts associated with the wellbore interests are included in Royalty Properties Acreage Summary and not in the table below.

Productive Well Summary

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the approximate combined number of producing wells on the properties subject to the NPI. Gross wells refer to wells in which a working interest is owned. Net wells are determined by multiplying gross wells by our working interest in those wells.

We anticipate receiving more first payments for new wells attributable to ~~acquisitions~~the acquisition closed during ~~2024~~the third quarter of 2025 in the first half of ~~2025~~2026.

We have and will continue to consider a range of transaction structures for our unleased mineral interests including leasing to third parties, working interest participation through the Operating Partnership, electing non-consent under State laws, or a combination thereof.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The below table reflects the Partnership's proved developed producing reserves atas of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The reserves are based on the reports of independent petroleum engineering consulting firm LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. (“LPC”), who is registered with the Engineering Board of the State of Texas and has been engaged in the business of oil and natural gas property evaluation since its formation in 1979. Other than our filings with the SEC, we have not filed the estimated proved reserves with, or included them in any reports to, any federal agency. Copies of the reports prepared by LPC are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

The Partnership’s petroleum engineer and CEO work closely with our third party reserve engineers to ensure integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the data used to calculate our estimated proved developed producing reserves. Our petroleum engineer met with our third party engineers periodically during the reserve report process to discuss the assumptions and methods used in the proved reserve estimation process. The Partnership does not have information that would be available to a company with oil and natural gas operations because detailed information is not generally available to owners of royalty interests. ~~The~~We ~~Partnership’s~~provide ~~petroleum~~historical ~~engineer provides~~information ~~production~~to ~~and~~the ~~accounting~~third ~~information~~party toreserve engineers for our ~~independent~~properties ~~petroleum~~such ~~engineering~~as ~~consulting~~ownership ~~firm~~interest, ~~who~~oil ~~extrapolates~~and natural gas production, realized commodity pricing, and production and operating costs. The third party reserve engineers extrapolate from ~~such~~this information estimates of the proved reserves attributable to the Royalty Properties and NPI based on their expertise in the oil and natural gas fields where the Royalty Properties and NPI are situated, as well as publicly available information. Ensuring compliance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation methods and procedures is the responsibility of the Partnership'’s ~~Chief Executive Officer (“~~CEO”). Our CEO has a bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta and has worked in the upstream oil and natural gas business in various capacities since 1996.

Our proved reserve estimates were prepared in accordance with our internal control procedures. During the period covered by the reserve report, our petroleum engineer met with LPC to review properties and discuss evaluation methods and assumptions used in the proved reserves estimates, in accordance with our prescribed internal control procedures. Our internal controls over the reserves estimation process include verification of input data used in LPC’s reserves evaluation software as well as reviews by our petroleum engineer and CEO, which include the following:

●

Review of ownership interests in the reserves database against our internal ownership data;

●

Review of historical realized commodity prices and differentials from index prices compared to the differentials used in the reserves database;

●

Review of actual historical production volumes compared to projections in the reserve report; and

●

Review of preliminary reserve estimates by our CEO with our petroleum engineer

(1)	Reserves reflect 96.97% of the corresponding amounts assigned to the Operating Partnership’s interests in the NPI properties.
(2)	Oil reserves include volumes attributable to natural gas liquids.

Proved oil and natural gas reserves means those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and governmental regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. See “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations” for average sales prices.

Title to Properties

We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our assets. Record title to essentially all of our assets has undergone the appropriate filings in the jurisdictions in which such assets are located. Title to property may be subject to encumbrances. We believe that none of such encumbrances should materially detract from the value of our properties or from our interest in these properties or should materially interfere with their use in the operation of our business.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership and the Operating Partnership are involved in legal and/or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of their businesses, none of which have predictable outcomes. We do not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

PART II

Our common units trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “DMLP”.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, there ~~were22~~were 22,~~793~~832 common unitholders.

Our partnership agreement requires that we make quarterly distributions in an amount equal to all funds that we receive from the Royalty Properties and the NPI (other than cash proceeds received by the Partnership from a public or private offering of securities of the Partnership) less certain expenses and reasonable reserves.

Performance Graph

The Performance Graph below compares the cumulative five-year total unitholder return on our common units beginning December 31, ~~2019~~ 2020, and for each subsequent year end through and including December 31, ~~2024~~2025, with cumulative returns of the S&P 500 Index, the SPDR S&P Oil and Gas Exploration and Production ETF (“XOP”), and an industry peer group selected by us. The industry peer group we selected is comprised of the following companies: Black Stone Minerals, L.P., Viper Energy, Inc., and ~~Sitio~~Kimbell ~~Royalties~~Royalty ~~Corp~~Partners, L.P. In prior years, we compared our cumulative five-year total unitholder return to an industry peer group selected by us that we believed appropriately reflected the minerals and ~~Kimbell~~royalties ~~Royalty~~industry. ~~Partners~~Over time, Lhowever, consolidation within the minerals and royalties industry has resulted in a smaller, less stable set of entities.P As a result, the composition of the industry peer group has changed frequently and has introduced volatility that we believe no longer provides a consistent or meaningful basis for comparison. Beginning with this year’s performance graph, we have selected the XOP index for comparison. XOP represents a broader and more stable industry benchmark composed of a diversified set of oil and natural gas exploration companies. We believe use of this index enhances comparability and provides unitholders with a more consistent, long-term measure of our relative total unitholder return performance.

The Performance Graph assumes $100 was invested in our common units and in the ~~each~~index ofand ~~the~~industry ~~other~~peer ~~indices~~ group described above on December 31, ~~2019~~2020. Distribution or dividend reinvestments have been assumed on the payment dates. The stock performance shown on the graph below is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Objective

The following discussion summarizes our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal years ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~2024, and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. A discussion of results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 has been omitted from this report but may be found at “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024, filed with the SEC on February 2220, ~~2024~~2025, and is incorporated by reference in this report from such prior Annual Report on Form 10-K. We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those consolidated financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

~~2024~~2025 Overview

Our results during ~~2024~~2025 were mainly driven by ~~increases~~lower industrywide realized oil prices versus 2024, decreases in ~~Royalty~~NPI ~~Properties~~properties oil and natural gas sales volumes ~~from~~due ~~continued~~to lower drilling activity in the ~~Permian Basin and~~ Bakken region, and ~~incremental~~increased ~~production~~capital ~~from~~expenditures ~~2023~~deducted ~~and~~under ~~2024~~the ~~acquisitions~~NPI calculation, offset by ~~decreases~~increases in ~~NPI~~Royalty Properties oil and natural gas sales volumes from incremental production from 2024 and 2025 acquisitions and continued drilling activity in the Rockies, increased leasing activity, and ~~lower~~higher industrywide realized natural gas sales prices versus ~~2023~~2024. Significant results include the following:

● Net income of $9257.4 million;

● Distributions of $~~146~~132.50 million to our limited partners;

● Acquisition of mineral, ~~royalty, and overriding royalty~~ interests ~~in producing and non-producing oil and natural gas properties~~ representing approximately 143,~~225~~050 net ~~mineral~~royalty acres located in 14Adams ~~counties~~County, ~~across~~Colorado ~~New Mexico and Texas~~ in exchange for 6915,~~721,144~~694 common units representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership valued at $~~202~~23.60 million and issued pursuant to the Partnership's registration ~~statements~~statement on Form S-4;

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United ~~State~~States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations as reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Partnership’s accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

Management continually reviews our accounting policies, how they are applied, and how they are reported and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. The following items require significant estimation or judgment:

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We utilize the full cost method of accounting for costs related to our oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all such costs are capitalized and amortized on an aggregate basis over the estimated lives of the properties using the unit-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test, which limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties.

The discounted present value of our proved oil and natural gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling test calculation and requires many subjective judgments. Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering and geological analyses. Different reserve engineers could reach different conclusions as to estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves based on the same information. The passage of time provides more qualitative and quantitative information regarding reserve estimates, and revisions are made to prior estimates based on updated information. However, there can be no assurance that more significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. Significant downward revisions could result in an impairment representing a non-cash charge to income. In addition to the impact on the calculation of the ceiling test, estimates of proved reserves are also a major component of the calculation of depletion.

While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in the discounted present value of our reserves are objectively determined. The ceiling test calculation requires use of the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price during the 12-month period ending on the balance sheet date and costs in effect as of the last day of the accounting period, which are generally held constant for the life of the properties. As a result, the present value is not necessarily an indication of the fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural gas prices have historically been volatile, and the prevailing prices at any given time may not reflect our Partnership’s or the industry’s forecast of future prices.

Revenue Recognition

The pricing of oil and natural gas sales from the Royalty Properties and NPI is primarily determined by supply and demand in the marketplace and can fluctuate considerably. As a royalty owner, we have no operational control over the volumes and method of sale of oil and natural gas produced and sold from the Royalty Properties and NPI.

Revenues from Royalty Properties and NPI are recorded under the cash receipts approach as directly received from the remitters’ statement accompanying the revenue check. Since the revenue checks are generally received two to three months after the production month, the Partnership accrues for revenue earned but not received by estimating production volumes and product prices. Estimates of uncollected revenues and unpaid expenses from Royalty Properties (which are interests in oil and natural gas leases that give the Partnership the right to receive a portion of the production from the leased acreage, without bearing the costs of such production) and net profits overriding royalty interests (referred to as the “Net Profits Interest”, or “NPI”) operated by nonaffiliated entities are particularly subjective due to our inability to gain accurate and timely information. Identified differences between our accrued revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant.

The Partnership does not record revenue for unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. The Partnership’s right to revenues from Royalty Properties and NPI occurs at the time of production, at which point, payment is unconditional, and no remaining performance obligation exists for the Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership’s revenue contracts for Royalty Properties and NPI do not generate contract assets or liabilities.

Results of Operations

Normally, our period-to-period changes in net income and cash flows from operating activities are principally determined by changes in oil and natural gas sales volumes and prices, and to a lesser extent, by capital expenditures deducted under the NPI calculation. Our portion of oil and natural gas sales volumes and average sales prices are shown in the following table.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024

The increase in oil sales volumes attributable to our Royalty Properties during ~~2024~~2025 versus ~~2023~~2024 is primarily a result of ~~higher~~incremental ~~suspense~~increases ~~releases~~in onbaseline ~~new~~production ~~wells~~ in the Permian Basin and ~~Bakken~~Rockies ~~region, suspense releases on first payments in the Permian Basin~~ from wells acquired in ~~the~~2024 ~~third~~and ~~quarter~~2025 ofand ~~2024,~~ higher suspense releases on ~~first payments~~new inwells ~~the~~on ~~Rockies~~legacy ~~from~~acreage ~~wells acquired~~ in the ~~third quarter of 2024 and first quarters of 2024 and 2022~~Rockies, ~~and increased baseline production in South Texas from wells acquired in 2023 and 2022,~~ partially offset by lower suspense releases ~~from first payments~~ on ~~acquired~~new wells inon ~~South~~legacy ~~Texas~~acreage ~~and decreased baseline production~~ in the Permian Basin, and Bakken region, and ~~the~~decreased ~~Rockies,~~baseline ~~particularly~~production infrom ~~the~~legacy ~~fourth~~wells ~~quarter~~in ~~of 2024 compared to~~ the ~~same~~Permian ~~period of 2023~~Basin. The increase in natural gas sales volumes attributable to our Royalty Properties during ~~2024~~2025 ~~compared~~versus to2024 ~~2023~~ is primarily ~~attributable~~a toresult ~~higher~~of ~~baseline~~incremental ~~production~~increases ~~and~~in ~~higher~~baseline ~~suspense~~production ~~releases on new wells~~ in the Permian Basin, ~~suspense~~and ~~releases~~Rockies ~~on first payments in the Permian Basin~~ from wells acquired in ~~the~~2024 ~~third~~and ~~quarter~~2025 ofand ~~2024,~~ higher suspense releases on ~~first payments~~new inwells ~~the~~on ~~Rockies~~legacy ~~from~~acreage ~~wells acquired~~ in the ~~first~~Rockies, ~~and~~partially ~~third~~offset ~~quarters~~by oflower ~~2024, higher~~ suspense releases on ~~first payments~~new ~~and increased baseline production in East Texas from~~ wells ~~acquired~~on inlegacy ~~2022,~~acreage ~~and increased baseline production~~ in the ~~Mid-Continent,~~Permian ~~partially~~Basin ~~offset by decreased baseline production~~ and lower suspense releases ~~from first payments~~ on ~~acquired~~new wells inon ~~South~~legacy ~~Texas~~acreage and decreased baseline production from legacy wells in the ~~Rockies,~~Mid-Continent ~~Fayetteville Shale, Barnett Shale,~~ and ~~Southeast~~East Texas.

The decrease in oil and natural gas sales volumes attributable to our NPI properties during ~~2024~~2025 versus 2024 ~~2023~~ is primarily the result of ~~lower~~decreased ~~suspense releases on new wells in the Permian Basin, partially offset by increased~~ baseline production ~~in the Permian Basin~~ and Bakken region and higher suspense releases on new wells in the Bakken region. The decrease in natural gas sales volumes attributable to our NPI properties during 2024 compared to 2023 is primarily the result of lower suspense releases on new wells in the Permian Basin and ~~Mid-Continent~~Bakken region, partially offset by ~~higher~~increased suspense releases on ~~new~~existing wells in the ~~Bakken~~Permian ~~region~~Basin ~~and increased baseline production~~ in the ~~Permian~~second ~~Basin,~~and ~~Bakken~~third ~~region,~~quarters ~~and~~of ~~Mid-Continent~~2025 versus 2024.

The ~~decrease~~increase in lease bonus revenue from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025 is primarily attributable to receipt of $113.86 million ~~from~~in a2025 ~~lease~~from ~~and lease~~an ~~amendment~~extension ~~transaction~~of ~~executed~~an inexisting ~~2023~~lease, wherein the Partnership leased 243 net acres in two tracts of land in Reagan County, Texas for $3015,000 per acre, and areceipt ~~25%~~of ~~royalty~~$5.4 ~~and~~million ~~amended~~ from an ~~existing lease on two separate tracts~~ assignment of ~~land~~leasehold ~~also totaling 243 net acres in Reagan County, Texas for $18,750 per acre~~interests.

Production taxes and operating expenses attributable to our Royalty Properties increased a combined 199% from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025. The increase is primarily a result of higher proportionate ~~oil~~natural gas production taxes ~~due to higher oil sales revenue attributable to our Royalty Properties~~ and ~~higher proportionate~~ post-production costs, such as compression, transportation, processing, and marketing, due to higher ~~oil and~~ natural gas sales revenue and volumes ~~attributable~~and higher ad valorem taxes, partially offset by lower proportionate oil production taxes due to ~~our~~lower ~~Royalty~~oil ~~Properties~~sales revenue.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 6256% from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025. Depletion is the amount of cost basis of oil and natural gas properties at the beginning of a period attributable to the volume of reserves extracted during such period, calculated on a units-of-production basis. Estimates of proved developed producing reserves are a major component in the calculation of depletion. We adjust our depletion rate each quarter for significant changes in our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, including recent acquisitions and suspense releases on new wells.

General and administrative expenses increased 712% from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025. The increase is primarily attributable to ~~higher~~increased ~~compensation~~legal ~~expenses~~and ~~due~~other toprofessional ~~market~~services ~~adjustments~~fees, ~~increased~~higher ~~bonuses~~regulatory ~~and~~filing anfees ~~expanded~~due ~~Equity~~to ~~Incentive~~the ~~Program~~Partnership’s ~~designed~~S-4 ~~for~~registration ~~employee~~statement ~~retention,~~filing ~~and~~in ~~increased~~the ~~legal~~first ~~and~~quarter ~~other~~of ~~professional services fees~~2025, ~~partially~~increased ~~offset~~data byservice aand ~~decrease~~technology ~~resulting from one-time~~costs, ~~non-recurring~~and ~~professional~~higher ~~services~~compensation ~~expenses~~expense, ofincluding ~~$1.2 million related to~~ an ~~unsuccessful~~expanded ~~acquisition~~Operating inPartnership ~~the~~equity ~~first~~program ~~nine~~designed ~~months~~for ofemployee ~~2023~~retention.

Net cash provided by operating activities ~~decreased~~remained 5% consistent from ~~2023~~2024 to ~~2024~~2025. The ~~decrease~~lack of change is primarily due to lower NPI payment receipts, ~~and~~ lower ~~lease~~ ~~bonus receipts, partially offset by higher~~ revenue receipts attributable to our Royalty Properties, net of production taxes and operating expenses, and higher general and administrative expenses being offset by higher lease bonus and other income.

Texas Margin Tax

Texas imposes a franchise tax (commonly referred to as the Texas margin tax) at a rate of 0.75% on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas margin tax statute. The Texas margin tax applies to corporations and limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships (unless otherwise exempt), limited liability partnerships, trusts (unless otherwise exempt), business trusts, business associations, professional associations, joint stock companies, holding companies, joint ventures and certain other business entities having limited liability protection.

Limited partnerships that receive at least 90% of their gross income from designated passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other non-operated mineral interest income, and do not receive more than 10% of their income from operating an active trade or business, are generally exempt from the Texas margin tax as “passive entities.” We believe our Partnership meets the requirements for being considered a “passive entity” for Texas margin tax purposes and, therefore, it is exempt from the Texas margin tax. If the Partnership is exempt from Texas margin tax as a passive entity, each unitholder that is considered a taxable entity under the Texas margin tax would generally be required to include its portion of Partnership revenues in its own Texas margin tax computation. The Texas Administrative Code provides such income is sourced according to the principal place of business of the Partnership, which would be the state of Texas.

Each unitholder is urged to consult an independent tax advisor regarding the requirements for filing state income, franchise and Texas margin tax returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our primary sources of capital, on both a short-term and long-term basis, are our cash flows from the Royalty Properties and the NPI. Our partnership agreement requires that we distribute quarterly an amount equal to all funds that we receive from the Royalty Properties and ~~NPIs~~ NPI (other than cash proceeds received by the Partnership from a public or private offering of securities of the Partnership) less certain expenses and reasonable reserves. Additional cash requirements include the payment of oil and natural gas production and property taxes not otherwise deducted from gross production revenues and general and administrative expenses incurred on our behalf and allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement. Because the distributions to our unitholders are, by definition, determined after the payment of all expenses actually paid by us, the only cash requirements that may create liquidity concerns for us are the payment of expenses. Because many of these expenses vary directly with oil and natural gas sales prices and volumes, we anticipate that sufficient funds will be available at all times for payment of these expenses. See below for the dates of cash distributions to unitholders.

Contractual Obligations

The Partnership leases its office space at 3838 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas, through an operating lease (the “Office Lease”). The third amendment to our Office Lease was executed in April 2017 for a term of 129 months, beginning June 1, 2018, and expiring in 2029. Under the third amendment to the Office Lease, monthly rental payments range from $25,000 to $30,000. Future maturities of Office Lease liabilities representing monthly cash rental payment obligations are summarized in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

We are not directly liable for the payment of any exploration, development or production costs. We do not have any transactions, arrangements or other relationships that could materially affect our liquidity or the availability of capital resources. We have not guaranteed the debt of any other party, nor do we have any other arrangements or relationships with other entities that could potentially result in unconsolidated debt.

To the extent necessary to avoid unrelated business taxable income, our partnership agreement prohibits us from incurring indebtedness, excluding trade payables, in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate at any given time or which would constitute “acquisition indebtedness” (as defined in Section 514 of the Code).

We currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to fund our distributions to unitholders and operations. ~~despite~~However, ~~potential~~our ~~material~~liquidity ~~uncertainties~~and ~~that~~ability ~~may~~to ~~impact~~fund usfuture asdistributions amay ~~result~~be ~~of increased~~affected ~~oil~~by ~~and~~material ~~natural~~uncertainties ~~gas~~arising ~~market~~from ~~volatility~~factors ~~caused~~beyond byour control, including: ongoing global military conflicts, ~~global~~such ~~supply~~as ~~chain~~those ~~disruptions~~ in Ukraine and the ~~recent~~Middle ~~rise~~East; incurrent inflation and interest rates.; ~~Although~~political ~~demand~~uncertainty ~~and~~in ~~market~~Venezuela; ~~prices~~changes ~~for~~to ~~oil~~tariff and ~~natural~~import/export ~~gas~~regulations ~~have~~by ~~remained~~the ~~strong~~United ~~due~~States toor ~~the~~other ~~rising~~countries; ~~energy use~~ and worldwide shortage of oil due to sanctions implemented on Russia, we cannot predict events that may lead to future price volatility.

In general, the limited partners are allocated 96% of the Royalty Properties’ net receipts and 99% of NPI net receipts.

Net Profits Interest

We receive monthly payments from the Operating Partnership equal to 96.97% of the net proceeds realized by the Operating Partnership from the properties underlying the Net Profits Interest (or “NPI”). The Operating Partnership retains the 3.03% balance of these net proceeds. Net proceeds generally reflect gross proceeds attributable to oil and natural gas production actually received during the month, less production costs actually paid during the same month, net of budgeted capital expenditures. Production costs generally reflect drilling, completion, operating and general and administrative costs and exclude depletion, amortization and other non-cash costs. The Operating Partnership made NPI payments to us totaling $2318.93 million during October ~~2023~~2024 through September ~~2024~~2025, which payments reflected 96.97% of total net proceeds of $2418.69 million realized from September ~~2023~~2024 through August ~~2024~~2025. Net proceeds realized by the Operating Partnership during September through November ~~2024~~2025 were reflected in NPI payments made during October through December ~~2024~~2025. These payments were included in the fourth quarter distribution paid February 1312, ~~2024~~ 2026, and are excluded from this ~~2024~~2025 analysis.

Royalty Properties

Revenues from the Royalty Properties are typically paid to us with proportionate severance (production) taxes deducted and remitted by others. Additionally, we generally pay ad valorem taxes, general and administrative costs, and marketing and associated costs because royalties and lease bonuses generally do not otherwise bear operating or similar costs. After deduction of the costs described above, including cash reserves, our net cash receipts from the Royalty Properties during October ~~2023~~2024 through September ~~2024~~2025 were $~~128~~118.06 million, of which $~~122~~113.9 million (96%) was distributed to the limited partners and $54.17 million (4%) was distributed to the General Partner. Proceeds received by us from the Royalty Properties during October through December ~~2024~~2025 became part of the fourth quarter distribution paid inon ~~early~~February ~~2025~~12, ~~which~~2026, isand are excluded from this ~~2024~~2025 analysis.

Distribution Determinations

The actual calculation of distributions is performed each calendar quarter in accordance with our partnership agreement. The following calculation covering the period October ~~2023~~2024 through September ~~2024~~2025 demonstrates the method:

	In Thousands
	Limited			General
	Partners			Partner
4% of net cash receipts from Royalty Properties	$	-		$	54,~~120~~745
96% of net cash receipts from Royalty Properties		~~122~~113,~~879~~864			-
1% of NPI payments to our Partnership		-			~~239~~183
99% of NPI payments to our Partnership		2318,~~643~~152			-
Total distributions	$	~~146~~132,~~522~~016		$	54,~~359~~928
Operating Partnership share (3.03% of net proceeds)					~~746~~573
Total General Partner share				$	65,~~105~~501
% of total		96	%		4	%

In summary, our limited partners received 96%, and our General Partner received 4% of the net cash generated by our activities and those of the Operating Partnership during this period. Due to these fixed percentages, our General Partner does not have any incentive distribution rights or other right or arrangement that will increase its percentage share of net cash generated by our activities or those of the Operating Partnership.

During the period October ~~2023~~2024 through September ~~2024~~2025, our Partnership's quarterly distribution payments to limited partners were based on all of its available cash, as defined in "Item 1 – Business".

Fourth Quarter ~~2024~~2025 Distribution Indicated Price

In an effort to provide information concerning prices of oil and natural gas sales that correspond to our quarterly distributions, management calculates the average price by dividing gross revenues received by the net volumes of the corresponding product without regard to the timing of the production to which such sales may be attributable. This “indicated price” does not necessarily reflect the contractual terms for such sales and may be affected by transportation costs, location differentials, and quality and gravity adjustments. While the relationship between the Partnership's cash receipts and the timing of the production of oil and natural gas may be described generally, actual cash receipts may be materially impacted by purchasers’ release of suspended funds and by prior period adjustments.

Cash receipts attributable to the Partnership's Royalty Properties during the ~~2024~~ fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $3432.92 million. Approximately 6862% of these receipts reflect oil sales during September ~~2024~~2025 through November ~~2024~~2025 and natural gas sales during August ~~2024~~2025 through October ~~2024~~2025, and approximately 3238% from prior sales periods. The average indicated prices for oil and natural gas sales attributable to the Royalty Properties during the ~~2024~~2025 fourth quarter were $6454.2598/bbl and $1.2291/mcf, respectively.

Cash receipts attributable to the Partnership's NPI during the ~~2024~~ fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $5.4.0 million. Approximately 6166% of these receipts reflect oil and natural gas sales during August ~~2024~~2025 through October ~~2024~~2025, and approximately 3934% from prior sales periods. The average indicated prices for oil and natural gas sales attributable to the NPI were $6354.9347/bbl and $12.2416/mcf, respectively.

General and Administrative Costs

In accordance with our partnership agreement, we bear all general and administrative and other overhead expenses subject to certain limitations. We reimburse our General Partner for certain allocable costs, including rent, wages, salaries and employee benefit plans that are not direct expenses. This reimbursement is limited to an amount equal to the sum of 5% of our distributions plus certain costs previously paid. For the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the reimbursement amounts actually paid or reserved did not exceed the limitation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Price Risk

The pricing of oil and natural gas sales is primarily determined by supply and demand in the global marketplace and can fluctuate considerably. As a royalty owner and non-operator, we have extremely limited access to timely information and no operational control over the volumes of oil and natural gas produced and sold or the terms and conditions on which such volumes are marketed and sold.

Our profitability is affected by oil and natural gas market prices. Oil and natural gas market prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years in response to ~~changes~~factors outside of our control, including the war in Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, fluctuations in interest rates, global supply chain disruptions, political uncertainty in Venezuela, and ~~demand~~actions taken by OPEC+. It is not possible for us to predict or determine how these factors might affect oil and natural gas market prices in the ~~market~~future. We continue to monitor factors impacting commodity supply and demand situations, ~~along~~including ~~with~~changes ~~domestic~~to tariff and ~~international~~import/export ~~political~~regulations by the United States or other countries, and ~~economic~~assess ~~conditions~~their impact on our business.

InTariffs ~~January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)~~ and ~~the~~Trading significant risks to the international community and economies as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally, and thereafter, COVID-19 continued to spread throughout the U.S. and worldwide. In addition, in early March 2020, oil prices dropped sharply and continued to decline, briefly reaching negative levels, as a result of multiple factors affecting the supply and demand in global oil and natural gas markets, including (i) actions taken by OPEC members and other exporting nations impacting commodity price and production levels and (ii) a significant decrease in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, multiple variants emerged in 2021 and became highly transmissible, which contributed to additional pricing and demand volatility during 2021 to date. However, conditions have significantly improved since 2022 with the increase in domestic vaccination programs, a reduction in global constraints and a reduced spread of COVID-19 overall, and in May 2023, the WHO determined that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. Nevertheless, the long term impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain.Relationships

Customer Credit Risk

Our principal exposure to credit risk results from receivables generated by the production activities of our operators. We do not require collateral and the failure or inability of our operators to meet their obligations to us due to their liquidity issues, bankruptcy, insolvency, or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. However, we believe the credit risk associated with our operators and customers is acceptable. Volatility in the commodity pricing environment and macroeconomic conditions may enhance our purchaser credit risk. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our concentration of credit risks and significant customers.

Interest Rate Risk

We do not anticipate having a credit facility or incurring any debt, other than trade debt. Therefore, we do not expect interest rate risk to be material to us.

Table of Contents

GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS

The definitions set forth below shall apply to the indicated terms as used in this document. All volumes of natural gas referred to herein are stated at the legal pressure base of the state or area where the reserves exist and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and in most instances are rounded to the nearest major multiple.

"bbl" means a standard barrel of 42 U.S. gallons and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and condensate.

“boe” means one barrel of oil equivalent, converting natural gas to oil at the ratio of 6 Mcf of natural gas to 1 Bbl of oil. Also see mcfe below.

"Depletion" means (a) the volume of hydrocarbons extracted from a formation over a given period of time, (b) the rate of hydrocarbon extraction over a given period of time expressed as a percentage of the reserves existing at the beginning of such period, or (c) the amount of cost basis at the beginning of a period attributable to the volume of hydrocarbons extracted during such period.

"Division order" means a document to protect lessees and purchasers of production, in which all parties who may have a claim to the proceeds of the sale of production agree upon how the proceeds are to be divided.

"Enhanced recovery" means the process or combination of processes applied to a formation to extract hydrocarbons in addition to those that would be produced utilizing the natural energy existing in that formation. Examples of enhanced recovery include water flooding and carbon dioxide (CO2) injection.

"Formation" means a distinct geologic interval, sometimes referred to as the strata, which has characteristics (such as permeability, porosity and hydrocarbon saturations) that distinguish it from surrounding intervals.

"Future estimated net revenues" (also referred to as "future estimated net cash flow") means the result of applying current prices of oil and natural gas to estimated future production from oil and natural gas proved reserves, reduced by estimated future expenditures, based on current costs to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, excluding overhead.

"Gross acre" means the number of surface acres in which a working interest is owned.

"Gross well" means a well in which a working interest is owned.

"Lease bonus" means the initial cash payment made to a lessor by a lessee in consideration for the execution and conveyance of the lease and includes proceeds from assignments of leasehold interests where the Partnership retains an interest.

"Leasehold" means ana ~~acre~~property in which a working interest is owned.

"Lessee" means the owner of a lease of a mineral interest in a tract of land.

"Lessor" means the owner of the mineral interest who grants a lease of his interest in a tract of land to a third party, referred to as the lessee.

"Mineral interest" means the interest in the minerals beneath the surface of a tract of land. A mineral interest may be severed from the ownership of the surface of the tract. Ownership of a mineral interest generally involves four incidents of ownership: (1) the right to use the surface; (2) the right to incur costs and retain profits, also called the right to develop; (3) the right to transfer all or a portion of the mineral interest; and (4) the right to retain lease benefits, including bonuses and delay rentals.

"mcf” means one thousand cubic feet of natural gas under prescribed conditions of pressure and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of natural gas.

“mcfe” means one thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, converting oil or condensate to natural gas at the ratio of 1 Bbl of oil or condensate to 6 Mcf of natural gas. This conversion ratio, which is typically used in the oil and gas industry, represents the approximate energy equivalent of a barrel of oil or condensate to an Mcf of natural gas. The sales price of one barrel of oil or condensate has been much higher than the sales price of six Mcf of natural gas over the last several years, so a six to one conversion ratio does not represent the economic equivalency of six Mcf of natural gas to one barrel of oil or condensate.

"mbbls" means one thousand standard barrels of 42 U.S. gallons and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and condensate.

"mmcf” means one million cubic feet of natural gas under prescribed conditions of pressure and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of natural gas.

"Net acre" means the product determined by multiplying gross acres by the interest in such acres.

"Net royalty acre" means the product determined by multiplying net acres by the royalty rate in the lease multiplied by eight to normalize the interest based on a one-eighth royalty.

"Net well" means the product determined by multiplying gross oil and natural gas wells by the interest in such wells.

"Net profits interest" means a non-operating interest that creates a share in gross production from another (operating or non-operating) interest in oil and natural gas properties. The share is determined by net profits from the sale of production and customarily provides for the deduction of capital and operating costs from the proceeds of the sale of production. The owner of a net profits interest is customarily liable for the payment of capital and operating costs only to the extent that revenue is sufficient to pay such costs but not otherwise.

Table of Contents

"Operator" means the individual or company responsible for the exploration, development, and production of an oil or natural gas well or lease.

"Overriding royalty interest" means a royalty interest created or reserved from another (operating or non-operating) interest in oil and natural gas properties. Its term extends for the same term as the interest from which it is created.

“Payout” or “Back-in” occurs when the working interest owners who participate in the costs of drilling and completing a well recoup the costs and expenses, or a multiple of the costs and expenses, of drilling and completing that well. Only then are the owners who chose not to contribute to these initial costs entitled to participate with the other owners in production and share in the expenses and revenues associated with the well. The reversionary interest or back-in interest of an owner similarly occurs when the owner becomes entitled to a specified share of the working or overriding royalty interest when specified costs have been recovered from production.

“Pooling election” means the statutory combination of interests which affords owners the right to choose between participating in the drilling of a well or accepting royalty payments.

"Proved developed reserves" means reserves that can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

"Proved reserves" or “Proved oil and natural gas reserves” means those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and governmental regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

“Reservoir” A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

“Reserves” Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

"Royalty" means an interest in an oil and natural gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to receive a portion of the production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds of the sale thereof) but generally does not require the owner to pay any portion of the costs of drilling or operating the wells on the leased acreage.

"Severance tax" means an amount of tax, surcharge or levy recovered by governmental agencies from the gross proceeds of oil and natural gas sales. Severance tax may be determined as a percentage of proceeds or as a specific amount per volumetric unit of sales. Severance tax is usually withheld from the gross proceeds of oil and natural gas sales by the first purchaser (e.g., pipeline or refinery) of production.

"Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows" (also referred to as "standardized measure") means the pretax present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines, net of estimated production and future development costs, using prices and costs as of the date of estimation without future escalation, without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service and depreciation, depletion and amortization, and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%.

“Suspense release” means revenues that have been held by a purchaser or lessee, often attributable to multiple months of production.

"Undeveloped acreage" means lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.

"Unitization" means the process of combining mineral interests or leases thereof in separate tracts of land into a single entity for administrative, operating or ownership purposes. Unitization is sometimes called "pooling" or "communitization" and may be voluntary or involuntary.

"Working interest" (also referred to as an "operating interest") means a real property interest entitling the owner to receive a specified percentage of the proceeds of the sale of oil and natural gas production or a percentage of the production but requiring the owner of the working interest to bear the cost to explore for, develop and produce such oil and natural gas. A working interest owner who owns a portion of the working interest may participate either as operator or by voting his percentage interest to approve or disapprove the appointment of an operator and certain activities in connection with the development and operation of a property.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

General Partner and Unitholders

Dorchester Minerals, L.P.

Opinion on internal control over financial reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, and our report dated February 2024, ~~2025~~ 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for opinion

The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control ~~over~~Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

General Partner and Unitholders

Dorchester Minerals, L.P.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in partnership capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("“PCAOB"”), the Partnership'’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("“COSO"”), and our report dated February 2024, ~~2025~~ 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that commenced operations on January 31, 2003. Our Partnership is based in Dallas, Texas and our business may be described as the acquisition, ownership and administration of Royalty Properties (which consists of producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests located in 594 counties and parishes in 28 states (“Royalty Properties”)) and net profits overriding royalty interests (referred to as the “Net Profits Interest”, or “NPI”). In these Notes, the term “Partnership,” as well as the terms “us,” “our,” “we,” and “its” are sometimes used as abbreviated references to Dorchester Minerals, L.P. itself or Dorchester Minerals, L.P. and its related entities.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dorchester Minerals, L.P., Dorchester Minerals Oklahoma, LP, Dorchester Minerals Oklahoma GP, Inc., Maecenas Minerals LLP, Dorchester-Maecenas GP LLC, The Buffalo Co., A Limited Partnership, and DMLPTBC GP LLC, and DMLP Terra Firma LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~Recent~~Certain ~~Events~~amounts in the prior‑period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current‑period presentation. Management believes these reclassifications enhance the clarity and consistency of the financial statement presentation. These are presentation only reclassifications and had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders’ equity, net income, or cash flows for any periods presented.

Recent Events – We are continuing to closely monitor future OPEC actions and the ongoing global military conflicts which arose from 2022 through 2024, on all aspects of our business, including how these events may impact our future operations, financial results, liquidity, the employees of Dorchester Minerals Operating LP, and operators2. ~~The ongoing~~Summary global military conflicts could continue into 2025 and could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including disruptions to the oil and gas industry, significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of ~~energy~~Significant ~~resources,~~Accounting instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability and other material and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions. We cannot predict the long-term impact of these events on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to uncertainties including the duration and international impact of the ongoing global military conflicts. These situations remain fluid and unpredictable, and we are actively managing our response.Policies

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Unit — Per-unit information is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to holders of our Partnership’s common units by the weighted average number of units outstanding. The Partnership has no potentially dilutive securities and, accordingly, basic and dilutive net income per unit do not differ.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnership evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Partnership considers reasonable in each circumstance. Any effects on the Partnership’s business, financial position, or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Although the Partnership believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

General Partner — Our general partner is Dorchester Minerals Management LP, referred to in these Notes as “our General Partner.” Our General Partner owns all of the partnership interests in Dorchester Minerals Operating LP, the Operating Partnership. See Note 4 —Related Party Transactions. The General Partner is allocated 4% and 1% of our Royalty Properties’ net revenues and Net Profits Interest (“NPI”) proceeds received by the Operating Partnership, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Our principal banking relationships are with major financial institutions. Cash balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such cash accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant risk on cash and cash equivalents. Short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers — Our Partnership, as a royalty owner, has no control over the volumes or method of sale of oil and natural gas produced and sold from the Royalty Properties and NPI. Royalties operating revenues from properties operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation and its subsidiaries and Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries represented approximately 15% and 10% of total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Royalties operating revenues from properties operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation and its subsidiaries and Diamondback Energy, Inc. represented approximately 16% and 15% of total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Royalties operating revenues from properties operated by Pioneer Natural Resources Company represented approximately 11% of total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. If we were to lose a significant customer, such loss could impact revenue. The loss of any single customer is mitigated by our diversified customer base, and we do not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a long-term material adverse effect on our financial position or the results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, net profits interest receivable - related party, and accounts payables and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. These estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year-end or that will be realized in the future.

Receivables — Our Partnership’s accounts receivable and net profits interest receivable consist primarily of Royalty Properties payments receivable and NPI payments receivable, respectively. Most payments are received two to three months after the production date. No reserve for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable is deemed necessary based upon our lack of historical write offs and review of current receivables. The Partnership’s receivables as of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 consists of the following:

	*In Thousands*
	*2025*		*2024*		*2023*

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2Oil and Natural Gas Properties — We utilize the full cost method of accounting for costs related to our oil and natural gas properties. ~~Summary~~Under this method, all such costs are capitalized and amortized on an aggregate basis over the estimated lives of ~~Significant~~the ~~Accounting~~properties ~~Policies~~using the unit-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test, which limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties. For the purposes of determining the capitalized costs ceiling, our Partnership only assigned value to proved developed producing oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2025. The full cost ceiling is evaluated at the end of each quarter and when events indicate possible impairment. There have been no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 as a result of the full cost ceiling test.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Unit — Per-unit information is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to holders of our Partnership’s common units by the weighted average number of units outstanding. The Partnership has no potentially dilutive securities and, accordingly, basic and dilutive net income per unit do not differ.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

General Partner — Our general partner is Dorchester Minerals Management LP, referred to in these Notes as “our General Partner.” Our General Partner owns all of the partnership interests in Dorchester Minerals Operating LP, the Operating Partnership. See Note 4 —Related Party Transactions. The General Partner is allocated 4% and 1% of our Royalty Properties’ net revenues and Net Profits Interest ("NPI") proceeds received by the Operating Partnership, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Our principal banking relationships are with major financial institutions. Cash balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such cash accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant risk on cash and cash equivalents. Short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers — Our Partnership, as a royalty owner, has no control over the volumes or method of sale of oil and natural gas produced and sold from the Royalty Properties and NPI. Royalties operating revenues from properties operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation and Diamondback Energy, Inc. represented approximately 16% and 15% of total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Royalties operating revenues from properties operated by Pioneer Natural Resources Company represented approximately 11%, and 12% of total operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If we were to lose a significant customer, such loss could impact revenue. The loss of any single customer is mitigated by our diversified customer base, and we do not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a long-term material adverse effect on our financial position or the results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, net profits interest receivable - related party, and accounts payables and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. These estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year-end or that will be realized in the future.

Receivables — Our Partnership’s trade and other receivables and net profits interest receivable consist primarily of Royalty Properties payments receivable and NPI payments receivable, respectively. Most payments are received two to three months after production date. No reserve for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable is deemed necessary based upon our lack of historical write offs and review of current receivables.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties — We utilize the full cost method of accounting for costs related to our oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all such costs are capitalized and amortized on an aggregate basis over the estimated lives of the properties using the unit-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test, which limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties. For the purposes of determining the capitalized costs ceiling, our Partnership only assigned value to proved developed producing oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2024. The full cost ceiling is evaluated at the end of each quarter and when events indicate possible impairment. There have been no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 as a result of the full cost ceiling test.

The discounted present value of our proved oil and natural gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling test calculation and requires many subjective judgments. Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering and geological analyses. Different reserve engineers could reach different conclusions as to estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves based on the same information. The passage of time provides more qualitative and quantitative information regarding reserve estimates, and revisions are made to prior estimates based on updated information. However, there can be no assurance that more significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. Significant downward revisions could result in an impairment representing a non-cash charge to income. In addition to the impact on the calculation of the ceiling test, estimates of proved reserves are also a major component of the calculation of depletion.

While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in the discounted present value of our reserves are objectively determined. The ceiling test calculation requires use of the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price during the 12-month period ending on the balance sheet date and costs in effect as of the last day of the accounting period, which are generally held constant for the life of the oil and natural gas properties. As a result, the present value is not necessarily an indication of the fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural gas prices have historically been volatile, and the prevailing prices at any given time may not reflect our Partnership’s or the industry’s forecast of future prices.

Gains and losses are recognized upon the disposition of oil and natural gas properties involving a significant portion (greater than 25%) of our Partnership’s reserves. Proceeds from other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are credited to the full cost pool.

Leasehold Improvements — Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related life of the lease.

Leases — The Partnership determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Partnership leases its office space at 3838 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas, through an operating lease (the “Office Lease”). The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Partnership’s lease does not provide an implicit rate of return and as the Partnership is precluded from incurring any borrowings above a nominal amount under its partnership agreement, the Partnership used a discount rate commensurate with the incremental borrowing rate of a group of peers based on information available at the application date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Asset Retirement Obligations — Based on the nature of our property ownership, we have no material obligations to record.

Revenue Recognition — The pricing of oil and natural gas sales from the Royalty Properties and NPI is primarily determined by supply and demand in the marketplace and can fluctuate considerably. As a royalty owner, we have no operational control over the volumes and method of sale of oil and natural gas produced and sold from the Royalty Properties and NPI.

The Partnership does not record revenue for unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. The Partnership’s right to revenues from Royalty Properties and NPI occurs at the time of production, at which point, payment is unconditional, and no remaining performance obligation exists for the Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership’s revenue contracts for Royalty Properties and NPI do not generate contract assets or liabilities.

The following table disaggregates the Partnership’s oil and natural gas revenues from production on the Royalty Properties for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

	*In Thousands*
	*2025*		*2024*		*2023*
Oil sales (1)	$	114,116	$	129,693	$	102,323
Natural gas sales		13,707		7,772		12,208
Total Royalties operating revenue	$	127,823	$	137,465	$	114,531

(1)	Includes natural gas liquids sales.

Revenues from lease bonus payments are recorded upon receipt. The lease bonus is separate from the lease itself and is recognized as revenue to the Partnership upon receipt of payment. The Partnership generates lease bonus revenue by leasing its mineral interests to exploration and production companies and includes proceeds from assignments of leasehold interests where the Partnership retains an interest. A lease agreement represents the Partnership’s contract with a lessee and generally transfers the rights to develop oil or natural gas, grants the Partnership a right to a specified royalty interest, and requires that drilling and completion operations commence within a specified time period. Upon signing a lease agreement, no further performance obligation exists for the Partnership, and therefore, no contract assets or contract liabilities are generated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes — We are treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and, as a result, our income or loss is includable in the tax returns of the individual unitholders. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is an expense allowable to each individual partner, and the depletion expense as reported on the consolidated financial statements will not be indicative of the depletion expense an individual partner or unitholder may be able to deduct for income tax purposes.

Texas imposes a franchise tax (commonly referred to as the Texas margin tax) at a rate of 0.75% on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas margin tax statute. The Texas margin tax applies to corporations and limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships (unless otherwise exempt), limited liability partnerships, trusts (unless otherwise exempt), business trusts, business associations, professional associations, joint stock companies, holding companies, joint ventures, and certain other business entities having limited liability protection.

Limited partnerships that receive at least 90% of their gross income from designated passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other non-operated mineral interest income, and do not receive more than 10% of their income from operating an active trade or business, are generally exempt from the Texas margin tax as “passive entities.” We believe our Partnership meets the requirements for being considered a “passive entity” for Texas margin tax purposes and, therefore, it is exempt from the Texas margin tax. If the Partnership is exempt from Texas margin tax as a passive entity, each unitholder that is considered a taxable entity under the Texas margin tax would generally be required to include its portion of Partnership revenues in its own Texas margin tax computation. The Texas Administrative Code provides that such income is sourced according to the principal place of business of the Partnership, which would be the state of Texas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands a public entity’s annual and interim disclosure requirements about their reportable segments, primarily through more detailed disclosures about significant segment expenses. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have adopted this standard for our fiscal year 2024 annual consolidated financial statements and interim condensed consolidated financial statements thereafter and have applied this standard retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 — Segment Reporting for further information.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclosure additional information about certain costs and expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Management is ~~currently~~ evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on the Partnership’s disclosures.

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”), which improves the guidance in Topic 270 by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The ASU includes a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and adds a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating ASU 2025-11 to determine its impact on the Partnership’s disclosures.

Segment Reporting

The Partnership manages its business activities on a consolidated basis and operates in a single operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of a public entity that engages in business activities and for which discrete financial information and operating results are available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. As disclosed in Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation, our business may be described as the acquisition, ownership and administration of Royalty Properties and the NPI. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a summarization of the Partnerships revenue recognition policy.

The Partnership’s ~~Chief Executive Officer (“~~CEO”) has been determined to be the chief operating decision maker of the Partnership. The CEO uses Net income, as reported on our Consolidated Income Statements, to assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis. The CEO manages and evaluates the results of the Partnership on a consolidated basis, and Net income is used to evaluate key operating decisions, such as making strategic acquisitions, determining transaction structures to capitalize on the development of the properties underlying our mineral interests, and allocating resources for general and administrative expenditures. The CEO does not review consolidated balance sheet assets when assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Disaggregated operating revenues of the Partnership’s single segment and all significant segment expenses are presented separately on the Partnership’s Consolidated Income Statements. There are no other significant segment expenses or other segment items that would require disclosure.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserve and Standardized Measure

The NPI represents a net profits overriding royalty interest burdening various properties owned by the Operating Partnership. The Royalty Properties consist of producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests located in 594 counties and parishes in 28 states. Amounts set forth herein attributable to the NPI reflects our 96.97% net share. Although new activity has occurred on certain of the Royalty Properties, based on engineering studies available to date, no events have occurred since December 31, ~~2024~~2025 that would have a material effect on our estimated proved developed reserves.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, the following information is presented with regard to the Royalty Properties and NPI oil and natural gas reserves, all of which are proved, developed, and located in the United States. These rules require inclusion as a supplement to the basic financial statements a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves. The standardized measure, in management's opinion, should be examined with caution. The basis for these disclosures are petroleum engineers’ reserve studies which contain estimates of quantities and rates of production of reserves. Revision of prior year estimates can have a significant impact on the results. Changes in production costs may result in significant revisions to previous estimates of proved reserves and their future value. Therefore, the standardized measure is not necessarily a best estimate of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties or of future net cash flows.

The following summaries of changes in reserves and standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows were prepared from estimates of proved reserves. The Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows reflects adjustments for fuel, shrinkage, and pipeline loss.
