NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business Segments

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 868,000 surface acres of land in West Texas, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”) for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA located in the western part of Texas.

Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales.

On January 11, 2021, we completed our reorganization from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”), organized under a Declaration of Trust dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Corporate Reorganization”).

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had authorized shares consisting of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and 7,756,156 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). On March 1, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated to provide that the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company be increased to 47,536,936 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 46,536,936 shares of Common Stock.

Common Stock Split

On March 26, 2024, we effected a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend of two shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock outstanding to stockholders of record as of March 18, 2024. All shares, stock awards, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. The three-for-one stock split was not applied to shares held as treasury stock. The shares of Common Stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common Stock.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such adjustments are of a normal nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, and accordingly these interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

We operate our business in two segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of TPL and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. See Note 13, “Business Segment Reporting” for further information regarding our segments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider investments in bank deposits, money market funds, and other highly-liquid cash investments, such as U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are considered Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants share-based compensation to employees under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and to its non-employee directors under the 2021 Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2021 Directors Plan” and, with the 2021 Plan, the “Plans”). In conjunction with the three-for-one stock split effected on March 26, 2024, the Plans were adjusted to increase the authorized number of shares that may be issued under the Plans. As of March 31, 2024, share-based compensation granted under the Plans has included these award types: stock awards, RSAs, RSUs and PSUs. Currently, all awards granted under the plans are entitled to receive dividends (which are accrued and distributed to award recipients upon vesting) or have dividend equivalent rights. Dividends and dividend equivalent rights are subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards to which they relate and are forfeitable if the related awards are forfeited. RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan vest in one-third increments and PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan cliff vest at the end of three years if the performance metrics are achieved (as discussed further below). RSAs granted prior to October 31, 2023 under the 2021 Directors Plan vested on the first anniversary of the award. Effective October 31, 2023, the 2021 Directors Plan was amended such that stock awards granted vest in full on the date of grant.

Incentive Plan for Employees

The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 225,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of March 31, 2024, 136,596 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Plan for future grants.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes activity related to RSAs and RSUs under the 2021 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

(1)RSAs were granted on December 29, 2021: 5,979 shares vested on December 29, 2022, 120 shares were forfeited during 2023 and 3,891 shares vested on December 29, 2023.

(2)RSUs vest in one-third increments over a three-year period.

(3)Of the 6,213 shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024, 2,469 shares were surrendered upon vesting by employees to the Company to settle tax withholdings.

The following table summarizes activity related to PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
	Number of Target PSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share		Number of Target PSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Nonvested at beginning of period (1)	12,738	$	595	7,182	$	452
Granted (2)	8,340	538		5,556	781
Vested	—	—		—	—
Cancelled and forfeited	—	—		—	—
Nonvested at end of period	21,078	$	573	12,738	$	595

(1)Nonvested PSUs as of January 1, 2024 include 6,369 RTSR (as defined below) PSUs and 6,369 FCF (as defined below) PSUs. If the maximum performance metrics described in the PSU agreements are achieved, the actual number of units that will ultimately be awarded under the PSU agreements will exceed target units by 100% (i.e. a collective 12,738 additional units would be issued).

(2)The PSUs were granted on February 13, 2024 and include 4,170 RTSR PSUs (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $602 per share and 4,170 FCF PSUs (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $475 per share. If the maximum performance potential metrics described in the PSU agreements are achieved, the actual number of units that will ultimately be awarded under the PSU agreements will exceed target units by 100% (i.e., a collective 8,340 additional units would be issued).

Each PSU has a value equal to one share of Common Stock. The PSUs will vest three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the applicable three-year measurement period compared to the XOP Index, and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative free cash flow per share (“FCF”) over the three-year vesting period. As the RTSR PSU is a market-based award, its grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the XOP Index, i.e., the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the award. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.

Miscellaneous other income (expense), net	—		3
Total other income, net	$	9,943	$	5,389

9. Income Taxes

The calculation of our effective tax rate was as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Income before income taxes	$	145,984		$	110,341
Income tax expense	$	31,567		$	23,773
Effective tax rate	21.6		%	21.5		%

For interim periods, our income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions, and other items.

10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus unvested restricted stock and other unvested awards granted pursuant to our incentive and equity compensation plans. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all outstanding awards under the incentive and equity compensation plans were converted into shares of Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of Common Stock that would then share in the earnings of the Company. The number of dilutive securities is computed using the treasury stock method.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net income	$	114,417	$	86,568

Basic earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	23,003,001		23,079,251
Basic earnings per share	$	4.97	$	3.75

Diluted earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	23,003,001		23,079,251
Effect of dilutive securities:
Incentive and equity compensation plans	17,248		15,942
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share	23,020,249		23,095,193
Diluted earnings per share	$	4.97	$	3.75

Restricted stock, if any, is included in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, but omitted from the basic EPS calculation until such time as the shares of restricted stock vest. Certain stock awards granted are not included in the dilutive securities in the table above as they are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of March 31, 2024.

Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. In order to protect the historical royalty interests from any potential tax liens for non-payment of ad valorem taxes, we have accrued and/or paid such ad valorem taxes since January 1, 2022. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party for such taxes, we are unable to estimate the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of March 31, 2024.

13. Business Segment Reporting

During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.

The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing our approximate 868,000 surface acres of land and our approximate 195,000 NRA of oil and gas royalty interests in West Texas, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment consist primarily of royalties from oil and gas, revenues from easements and commercial leases, and land and material sales.

The Water Services and Operations segment encompasses the business of providing a full-service water offering to operators in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment primarily consist of revenue generated from sales of sourced and treated water as well as revenue from produced water royalties.

The following table presents segment financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

14. Oil and Gas Producing Activities

We measure our share of oil and gas produced in barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”). One Boe equals one barrel of crude oil, condensate, NGLs (natural gas liquids) or approximately 6,000 cubic feet of gas. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 24.8 and 20.9 thousand Boe per day, respectively. Reserves related to our royalty interests are not presented because the information is unavailable.

There are a number of oil and gas wells that have been drilled but are not yet completed (“DUC”) where we have a royalty interest. The number of DUC wells is determined using uniform drilling spacing units with pooled interests for all wells awaiting completion. We have identified 694 and 675 DUC wells subject to our royalty interest (an estimated 10.3 and 9.7 net DUC wells) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

15. Subsequent Events

We evaluated events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued, and the following events that met recognition or disclosure criteria were identified:

Dividends Declared

On May 6, 2024, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.17 per share, payable on June 17, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 3, 2024.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024 and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Period-to-period comparisons of financial data are not necessarily indicative, and therefore, should not be relied upon as indicators, of the Company’s future performance.

Overview

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 868,000 surface acres of land in West Texas, with the majority of our ownership concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”), for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA, all located in the western part of Texas.

The Company was originally organized under a Declaration of Trust, dated February 1, 1888, to receive and hold title to extensive tracts of land in the State of Texas, previously the property of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. We completed our reorganization on January 11, 2021 from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust, into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

We are not an oil and gas producer. Our business activity is generated from surface and royalty interest ownership in West Texas, primarily in the Permian Basin. Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales. Due to the nature of our operations and concentration of our ownership in one geographic location, our revenue and net income are subject to substantial fluctuations from quarter to quarter and year to year. In addition to fluctuations in response to changes in the market price for oil and gas, our financial results are also subject to decisions by the owners and operators of not only the oil and gas wells to which our oil and gas royalty interests relate, but also to other owners and operators in the Permian Basin as it relates to our other revenue streams, principally water sales, produced water royalties, easements, and other surface-related revenue.

For a further overview of our business and business segments, see Item 1. “Business — General” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Market Conditions

Average oil prices during 2024 have increased slightly compared to average oil prices during 2023. Oil prices continue to be impacted by certain actions by OPEC+, geopolitical factors, and evolving global supply and demand trends,

Table of Contents

among other factors. Average natural gas prices during 2024 have decreased compared to average natural gas prices during 2023. Global and domestic natural gas markets have experienced volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure and logistical constraints, weather, and geopolitical issues, among other factors. Since mid-2022, the Waha Hub located in Pecos County, Texas has at times experienced significant negative price differentials relative to Henry Hub, located in Erath, Louisiana, due in part to growing local Permian natural gas production and limited natural gas pipeline takeaway capacity. Midstream infrastructure is currently under construction by operators to provide additional takeaway capacity, though the impact on future basis differentials will be dependent on future natural gas production and other factors. Changes in global and domestic macro-economic conditions could result in additional shifts in oil and gas supply and demand in future periods. Although our revenues are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in oil and natural gas prices, we believe our royalty interests (which require no capital expenditures or operating expense burden from us for well development), strong balance sheet, and liquidity position will help us navigate through potential commodity price volatility.

Permian Basin Activity

The Permian Basin is one of the oldest and most well-known hydrocarbon-producing areas and currently accounts for a substantial portion of oil and gas production in the United States, covering approximately 86,000 square miles across southeastern New Mexico and western Texas. Exploration and production (“E&P”) companies operating in the Permian Basin continue to maintain robust drilling and development activity. Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Permian production is currently in excess of 6.0 million barrels per day, which is higher than the average daily production of any year prior to 2024.

With our ownership concentration in the Permian Basin, our revenues are directly impacted by oil and gas pricing and drilling activity in the Permian Basin. Below are metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Oil and Gas Pricing Metrics:(1)
WTI Cushing average price per bbl	$	77.50	$	75.93
Henry Hub average price per mmbtu	$	2.15	$	2.64

Activity Metrics specific to the Permian Basin:(1)(2)
Average monthly horizontal permits	592		680
Average monthly horizontal wells drilled	521		535
Average weekly horizontal rig count	301		338
DUCs as of March 31 for each applicable year	4,536		4,986

Total Average US weekly horizontal rig count (2)	560		697

(1) Commonly used definitions in the oil and gas industry provided in the table above are defined as follows: WTI Cushing represents West Texas Intermediate. Bbl represents one barrel of 42 U.S. gallons of oil. Mmbtu represents one million British thermal units, a measurement used for natural gas. DUCs represent drilled but uncompleted wells. DUC classification is based on well data and date stamps provided by Enverus. DUCs is based on wells that have a drilled/spud date stamp but do not have a completed or first production date stamp. Excludes wells that have been labeled plugged and abandoned or permit expired and wells drilled/spud more than five years ago.

(2) Permian Basin specific information per Enverus analytics. US weekly horizontal rig counts per Baker Hughes United States Rotary Rig Count for horizontal rigs. Statistics for similar data are also available from other sources. The comparability between these other sources and the sources used by the Company may differ.

The metrics above show selected domestic benchmark oil and natural gas prices and approximate activity levels in the Permian Basin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Oil prices in 2024 to date have increased compared to the same period in 2023, while natural gas prices in 2024 to date have declined compared to the same period last year. Although E&P companies broadly continue to deploy capital at a measured pace, drilling and development activities across the Permian Basin have remained robust. As we are a significant landowner in the Permian Basin and not an oil and gas producer, our revenue is affected by the development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own royalty interests and land. Accordingly, these decisions made by others affect, both directly and indirectly, our oil and gas royalties, produced water royalties, water sales, and other surface-related income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash flows generated from our operations. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for capital expenditures related to our Water Services and Operations segment (the extent and timing of which are under our control), working capital and general corporate needs.

We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change and our revenues were to decline significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding. We have no debt or credit facilities, nor any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $837.1 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to support our business, to repurchase our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) subject to market conditions, to pay dividends subject to the discretion of our board of directors (the “Board”), for potential acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid $26.9 million in dividends to our stockholders and we repurchased $10.3 million of our Common Stock (including share repurchases not settled at the end of the period).

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we invested approximately $5.6 million in Texas Pacific Water Resources LLC projects to maintain and/or enhance our water sourcing assets.

We believe that cash from operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents balances, will be sufficient to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $147.2 million and $114.8 million, respectively. Our cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily from oil, gas and produced water royalties, water and land sales, easements, and other surface-related income. Cash flows used in operations generally consist of operating expenses associated with our revenue streams, general and administrative expenses and income taxes.

The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily related to an increase in operating income and changes in working capital requirements during 2024 as compared to 2023.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in investing activities are primarily related to acquisitions of land, acquisitions of intangible assets, such as subsurface easements, and capital expenditures related to our water services and operations segment.

The increase in net cash used by investing activities was due to the $0.5 million increase in capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $38.5 million and $32.8 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in financing activities primarily consist of activities which return capital to our stockholders such as payment of dividends and repurchases of our Common Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid total dividends of $26.9 million and $25.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased $10.3 million and $6.7 million of our Common Stock, respectively (including share repurchases not settled at the end of the period).

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:

Total revenues increased 19.0%, to $174.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $146.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was principally related to a $15.4 million increase in water sales, a $5.7 million increase in easements and other surface-related income, a $3.0 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue and a $2.9 million increase in produced water royalties over the same period. Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.” Net income of $114.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 32.2% higher than the comparable period of 2023 principally as a result of the increase in revenues discussed above.

Consolidated Expenses:

Salaries and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $10.6 million for the comparable period of 2023. The increase in salaries and related employee expenses is principally related to market compensation adjustments that take effect annually at the start of the year.

Water service-related expenses. Water service-related expenses increased $4.6 million to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Certain types of water-related expenses, including, but not limited to, transfer, treatment, and water purchases, will vary from period to period as our customers’ needs and requirements change. The increase in water service-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is principally

related to the 70.9% increase in water sales over the same period of 2023. Water sales were impacted not only by increased customer volumes, but also by higher demand within shorter time commitments, and resulted in increased water treatment, purchase and transfer expenses. Additionally, a focus on increasing water production from existing wells resulted in increased repairs and maintenance expense. While these dynamics in demand resulted in an 80.5% increase in water service-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, the operational decision to meet these demands resulted in increased revenues and operating income over the same time period.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, stock awards that were vested in full on the grant date were granted to members of the Company’s Board which resulted in immediate recognition of the grant date fair value of the awards on the date of grant. See further discussion of this change in Note 7, “Share-Based Compensation” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The increased board compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulting from this policy change is a one-time event.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees were $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $16.6 million for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease is principally related to a reduction in legal expenses associated with stockholder matters that occurred during the prior year.

Ad valorem and other taxes. Ad valorem and other taxes were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in ad valorem and other taxes is related to regulatory increases in estimated tax values driven by increased oil pricing and new production. Prior to January 1, 2022, the ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our corporate reorganization on January 11, 2021, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. While we continue to believe the obligation to pay these ad valorem taxes belongs to the third party, we have accrued and/or paid an estimate of such taxes in order to protect the royalty interests from any potential tax liens for nonpayment of ad valorem taxes. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party following payment of such taxes, we are unable to determine the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, have not recorded a loss recovery receivable as of March 31, 2024.

Other income, net. Other income, net was $9.9 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other income, net is primarily related to increased interest income earned on our cash balances during 2024. Higher cash balances and higher interest rates during this period contributed to the increase in interest income.

Total income tax expense. Total income tax expense was $31.6 million and $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased consolidated revenues.

Segment Results of Operations

We operate our business in two reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.

We evaluate the performance of our operating segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. The reportable segments presented are consistent with our reportable segments discussed in Note 13, “Business Segment Reporting” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We monitor our reporting segments based upon revenue and net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 continue to benefit from activity in the Permian Basin. Our oil and gas royalty revenues have increased due to increased royalty production. Additionally, revenues derived from water sales, easements and other surface-related income, and produced water royalties have also been positively impacted by our active management of our surface and royalty interests.

Land and Resource Management

Land and Resource Management segment revenues increased $7.5 million, or 7.2%, to $111.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in Land and Resource Management segment revenues is related to a $3.6 million increase in easements and other surface-related income and a $3.0 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue for three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Oil and gas royalties. Oil and gas royalty revenue was $92.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $89.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 3.4%. Oil and gas royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included an $8.7 million settlement with an operator with respect to unpaid oil and gas royalties for older production periods. Excluding the $8.7 million settlement, oil and gas royalties increased $11.7 million due to higher production volume for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. Our share of production increased to 24.8 thousand per barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 20.9 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2023. The average realized price declined 4.6% to $42.71 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $44.76 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The financial and operational data by royalty stream is presented in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023 (2)
Our share of production volumes (1):
Oil (MBbls)	990		792

Oil and gas royalty revenue (in thousands):
Oil royalties	$	72,614	$	56,894
Natural gas royalties	7,062		10,956
NGL royalties	12,444		12,615
Total oil and gas royalties	$	92,120	$	80,465

Realized prices:

Natural gas ($/Mcf)	$	2.01	$	3.58
NGL ($/Bbl)	$	21.24	$	25.28
Equivalents ($/Boe)	$	42.71	$	44.76

(1)Commonly used definitions in the oil and gas industry not previously defined: MBbls represents one thousand barrels of crude oil, condensate or NGLs. Mcf represents one thousand cubic feet of natural gas. MMcf represents one million cubic feet of natural gas. MBoe represents one thousand Boe. MBoe/d represents one thousand Boe per day.

(2)The metrics provided for the three months ended March 31, 2023 exclude the impact of the $8.7 million settlement of oil and gas royalties discussed above.

Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 25.0% compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Easements and other surface-related income includes revenue related to the use and crossing of our land for oil and gas exploration and production, renewable energy, and agricultural operations. The increase in easements and other surface-related income is principally related to increases of $5.7 million in pipeline easements and was partially offset by decreases in wellbore easements and material sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The amount of income derived from pipeline easements is a function of the term of the easement, the size of the easement, and the number of easements entered into for any given period. Easements and other surface-related income is dependent on development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own land and is, therefore, unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period. See “Market Conditions” above for additional discussion of development activity in the Permian Basin during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net income. Net income for the Land and Resource Management segment increased 23.9% to $81.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $65.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Segment operating income increased $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, largely driven by the $12.4 million decrease in legal and professional fees and the $7.5 million increase in segment revenues. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”

Water Services and Operations

Water Services and Operations segment revenues increased 48.0% to $62.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with revenues of $42.3 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in Water Services and Operations segment revenues is principally due to increases in water sales revenue and produced water royalties, which are

Table of Contents

discussed below. As discussed in “Market Conditions” above, our segment revenues are directly influenced by development decisions made by our customers and the overall activity level in the Permian Basin. Accordingly, our segment revenues and sales volumes, as further discussed below, will fluctuate from period to period based upon those decisions and activity levels.

Water sales. Water sales revenue increased $15.4 million, or 70.9% to $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023. The growth in water sales is principally due to an increase of 51.3% in water sales volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023.

Produced water royalties. Produced water royalties are received from the transfer or disposal of produced water on our land. Produced water royalties are contractual and not paid as a matter of right. We do not operate any salt water disposal wells. Produced water royalties were $23.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $20.1 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is principally due to increased produced water volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Net income. Net income for the Water Services and Operations segment was $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Segment operating income increased $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The increase is principally due to the $20.3 million increase in segment revenues. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

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

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. We calculate Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense and capital expenditures. Its purpose is to provide an additional measure of operating performance. We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing the Company's operating performance. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business Segments	Organization and Description of Business Segments Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 868,000 surface acres of land in West Texas, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”) for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA located in the western part of Texas. Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales. On January 11, 2021, we completed our reorganization from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”), organized under a Declaration of Trust dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock As of December 31, 2023, the Company had authorized shares consisting of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and 7,756,156 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). On March 1, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated to provide that the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company be increased to 47,536,936 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 46,536,936 shares of Common Stock. Common Stock Split On March 26, 2024, we effected a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend of two shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock outstanding to stockholders of record as of March 18, 2024. All shares, stock awards, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. The three-for-one stock split was not applied to shares held as treasury stock. The shares of Common Stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common Stock.” Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such adjustments are of a normal nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, and accordingly these interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. We operate our business in two segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of TPL and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. See Note 13, “Business Segment Reporting” for further information regarding our segments.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of March 31, 2024. Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. In order to protect the historical royalty interests from any potential tax liens for non-payment of ad valorem taxes, we have accrued and/or paid such ad valorem taxes since January 1, 2022. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party for such taxes, we are unable to estimate the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of March 31, 2024.

Oil and Gas Producing Activities	Mar. 31, 2024
Extractive Industries [Abstract]
Oil and Gas Producing Activities	Oil and Gas Producing Activities We measure our share of oil and gas produced in barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”). One Boe equals one barrel of crude oil, condensate, NGLs (natural gas liquids) or approximately 6,000 cubic feet of gas. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 24.8 and 20.9 thousand Boe per day, respectively. Reserves related to our royalty interests are not presented because the information is unavailable. There are a number of oil and gas wells that have been drilled but are not yet completed (“DUC”) where we have a royalty interest. The number of DUC wells is determined using uniform drilling spacing units with pooled interests for all wells awaiting completion. We have identified 694 and 675 DUC wells subject to our royalty interest (an estimated 10.3 and 9.7 net DUC wells) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such adjustments are of a normal nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, and accordingly these interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.
Segment Reporting	We operate our business in two segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of TPL and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash We consider investments in bank deposits, money market funds, and other highly-liquid cash investments, such as U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are considered Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
