TXO PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
TXO Partners, L.P. (TXO Partners or the Partnership) is an independent oil and gas company that was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in January 2012 (with an effective inception of operations at January 18, 2012). The operations of TXO Partners are governed by the provisions of the partnership agreement, as amended, executed by the general partner, TXO Partners GP, LLC (the General Partner) and the limited partners. The General Partner is the manager and operator of TXO Partners. The General Partner is managed by the board of directors and executive officers of our General Partner. The members of the board of directors of our General Partner are appointed by MorningStar Oil & Gas, LLC (“MSOG”), as the sole member of our General Partner. TXO Partners will remain in existence unless and until dissolved in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.
TXO Partners’ assets include its investment in an unincorporated joint venture, Cross Timbers Energy, LLC (“Cross Timbers Energy”). TXO Partners owns 50% of Cross Timbers Energy, and TXO Partners is the manager of Cross Timbers Energy. Cross Timbers Energy is governed by a Member Management Committee (MMC) and is comprised of six representatives, three from each group, with each group having one voting member. All matters that come before the MMC require the unanimous consent of the voting members. On the last day of each calendar quarter, Cross Timbers Energy distributes all excess cash to the members based on their ownership percentage of 50% each, except for earnings from the note receivable which is owned 5% by TXO Partners. Cross Timbers Energy’s properties are located primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico.
TXO Partners also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MorningStar Operating LLC which owns oil and gas assets primarily in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado, the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico and the Williston Basin of Montana and North Dakota.
2.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and on the same basis as our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above. The results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for the full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a complete description of TXO Partners’ significant accounting policies, see our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
3.Related Party Transactions
We earned management fees from Cross Timbers Energy of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We earned management fees from Cross Timbers Energy of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
4.Acquisitions
In August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Eagle Mountain Energy Partners and VR 4-ELM,LP, located in the Elm Coulee field in Montana and the Russian Creek field in North Dakota which are part of the Greater Williston Basin, for cash consideration of $241.8 million and 2.5 million common units of TXO valued at
5

$50.0 million (the “EMEP Acquisition”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation included $312.2 million to proved properties, $0.6 million to other properties, $0.3 million to other current assets, $1.0 million to other assets, $5.4 million to other current liabilities and $16.8 million to asset retirement obligation. The acquisition was funded by a combination of cash on hand from the public offering (Note 12) and borrowings under our Credit Facility (Note 5). In the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $8.8 million of revenues and net income of $3.7 million from this acquisition.

Additionally, in August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Kaiser-Francis Oil Company in the Russian Creek field in North Dakota for cash consideration of $18.2 million (the “KFOC Acquisition”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation included $19.8 million to proved properties and $1.6 million to asset retirement obligation. The acquisition was funded by cash on hand from the public offering (Note 12).
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents a summary of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, assuming the EMEP Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2023. The pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations would have been. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.

November 2021 Credit Facility
On August 30, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Borrowing Base Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) on our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain commercial banks, as the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. We use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Amendment No. 4 extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to August 30, 2028, increased the borrowing base from $165 million to $275 million and joined certain new Lenders to the Credit Facility. In connection with the Credit Facility, we incurred financing fees and expenses, which are included in other assets on the balance sheets, of approximately $6.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2023 before accumulated amortization of $2.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023. We incurred $3.1 million of financing fees and expenses in conjunction with Amendment No. 4. These costs are being amortized over the life of the credit facility. Such amortized expenses are recorded as interest expense on the statements of operations.
Redeterminations of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, are based primarily on reserve reports that reflect commodity prices at such time, and occur semi-annually, in March and September, as well as upon request by the lenders at their sole discretion, no more than once per six-month period. We also have the right to request up to two additional borrowing base redeterminations each year at our discretion. Significant declines in commodity prices may result in a decrease in the borrowing base. These borrowing base declines can be offset by any commodity price hedges we enter. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Partnership, including, without limitation, (i) our interest in the joint venture, (ii) all our deposit accounts, securities accounts, and commodities accounts, (iii) any
6

receivables owed to us by Cross Timbers Energy and (iv) any oil and gas properties owned directly by TXO Partners or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We are required to maintain (i) a current ratio greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and current assets shall include availability under the Credit Facility but shall exclude the fair value of derivative instruments and current liabilities shall exclude the fair value of derivative instruments and any advances under the Credit Facility and (ii) a ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDAX of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For purposes of the total net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio (“Leverage Ratio”), total net debt includes total debt for borrowed money (including capital leases and purchase money debt), minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand at such time (not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate), minus the unpaid balance of the FAM Loan. EBITDAX means sum of (i) net income plus interest expense; income taxes paid; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expenses, including workover expenses; non-cash charges including unrealized losses on derivative instruments; and, any extraordinary or non-recurring charges, minus (ii) any extraordinary or non-recurring income and any non-cash income including unrealized gains on derivative instruments. Effective with the Second Amendment, our hedge requirements are based on availability under the Credit Facility and the Leverage Ratio. If the Leverage Ratio is greater than 0.75 to 1.00, we are required to hedge at least 50% of reasonably anticipated projected production of proved developed producing reserves for the 24 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.75 to 1.00 and availability under the Credit Facility is greater than 20% of the then current borrowing base, the minimum required hedge volume would be 35% for the 12 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.50 to 1.00 and availability under the Credit Facility is greater than 66.7% of the then current borrowing base, there would be no minimum required hedge volume.  Our Credit Facility prohibits us from hedging more than 90% of our reasonably projected production for any fiscal year. Under the terms of the Credit Facility as amended, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Additionally, we believe we have adequate liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
At our election, interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is determined by reference to either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin between 3.00% and 4.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility). Interest is generally payable quarterly for loans bearing interest based on the ABR and at the end of the applicable interest period (either one, three or six months) for loans bearing interest at SOFR. We are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Credit Facility, which accrues at a rate per annum of 0.5% on the average daily unused amount of the lesser of: (i) the maximum commitment amount of the lenders and (ii) the then-effective borrowing base.
September 2016 Loan
On September 30, 2016, TXO Partners entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Cross Timbers Energy (the “FAM Loan”). The proceeds for the loan were taken from the cash held by the offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation and the loan was assigned to the offshore subsidiary (Note 6). The loan matures on November 29, 2028, but is automatically extended should the maturity date of the Credit Facility be extended. In all instances, this loan will mature ninety-one days after the maturity of the Credit Facility. Interest on the loan is the lesser of (a) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus three and one-quarter of one percent (3.25%) per annum, adjusted monthly or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Though the note is unsecured, we are required to stay in compliance with terms of the Credit Facility.
6.Note Receivable from Related Party
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we, through our 5% ownership interest in investment assets at Cross Timbers Energy, had a note receivable totaling $7.1 million outstanding with a highly-rated, offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, there is no stated maturity date and Cross Timbers Energy may demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance on two business days’ notice. Interest is earned based on the one-month SOFR rate and is paid monthly. Interest income totaled $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2024 and $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023.
The note receivable is treated as a non-current asset, since Cross Timbers Energy does not have any intention of demanding repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance at this time. Repayment would require the approval of the Cross Timbers Energy MMC.

7.Asset Retirement Obligation
Our asset retirement obligation primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our proved producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The following is a summary of changes in TXO Partners’ asset retirement obligation activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligation, January 1$153,972 
Liability incurred upon acquiring and drilling wells18,408 
Liability settled upon plugging and abandoning wells(1,059)
Accretion of discount expense8,491 
Asset retirement obligation, September 30179,812 
Less current portion(1,750)
Asset retirement obligation, long term$178,062 
8.Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.
To date, our expenditures to comply with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations have not been significant and are not expected to be significant in the future. However, new regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant future costs.
9.Fair Value
We periodically use commodity-based and financial derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We periodically enter into futures contracts, costless collars, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales (Note 10).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Because of their short-term maturity, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying values at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following are estimated fair values and carrying values of our other financial instruments at each of these dates:

(in thousands)Carrying

Derivative asset$7,074 $7,074 $6,052 $6,052 
Derivative liability$(8,614)$(8,614)$(4,045)$(4,045)
The fair value of our note receivable from related party approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is based on current market interest rates and can be called upon two business days’ notice (Note 6). The fair value of our long-term debt approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is reset periodically at then current market rates (Note 5).
The fair value of our note receivable from related party (Note 6), derivative asset/(liability) (Note 10) and our long-term debt (Note 5) is measured using Level 2 inputs, and are determined by either market prices on an active market for
8

similar assets or other market-corroborated prices. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of our note receivable and net derivative asset (liability). Since our counterparty is highly rated, the fair value of our note receivable from related party does not require an adjustment to account for the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty, however, an adjustment for counterparty credit risk has been applied to the net derivative asset (liability).
The following table summarizes our fair value measurements and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.

Derivative liability$(8,614)$ $(4,045)$ 
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable and are based upon Level 3 inputs. These assets and liabilities can include assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired. Such fair value estimates require assumptions and judgments regarding the existence of liabilities, the amount and timing of cash outflows required to settle the liability, what constitutes adequate restoration, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, and consideration of changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.
We periodically review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We review our oil and natural gas properties by asset group. The estimated future net cash flows are based upon the underlying reserves and anticipated future pricing. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of a particular asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of such assets. The fair value of the proved properties is measured based on the income approach, which incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future product prices, which the Partnership bases on the forward-price curves, estimates of oil and gas reserves, estimates of future expected operating and capital costs and a risk adjusted discount rate of 10%. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Commodity Price Hedging Instruments
We periodically enter into futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions, costless collars and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. See Note 10.

Derivative fair value (gain) loss$543 $5,019 $1,269 $(3,216)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our receivables are from a diverse group of companies including major energy companies, pipeline companies, marketing companies, local distribution companies and end-users in various industries. Letters of credit or other appropriate security are obtained as considered necessary to limit risk of loss from the other companies. Including the bank that issued the letter of credit, we currently have greater concentrations of credit with several investment-grade (BBB- or better) rated companies.
10.Commodity Sales Commitments
Our policy is to consider hedging a portion of our production at commodity prices the general partner deems attractive. While there is a risk we may not be able to realize the benefit of rising prices, the general partner may enter into hedging agreements because of the benefits of predictable, stable cash flows.
We periodically enter futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. We also enter costless price collars, which set a ceiling and floor price to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the ceiling price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the floor price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. If the actual commodity price falls in between the ceiling and floor price, there is no cash settlement.
Crude Oil

We have entered into crude oil futures contracts and swap agreements that effectively fix prices for the production and periods shown below. Prices to be realized for hedged production may be less than these fixed prices because of location, quality and other adjustments. See Note 9.

On November 5, 2024, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution of $0.58 per common unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The distribution will be paid on November 22, 2024, to unitholders of record on November 15, 2024.

On June 28, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering for the sale of 6.5 million common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit resulting in proceeds of $122.5 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs (“the Offering”). On July 2, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 975,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its option to purchase additional common units in the Offering, resulting in additional proceeds of $18.7 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the EMEP Acquisition and the KFOC Acquisition (Note 4).

On August 30, 2024, as part of the consideration paid in the EMEP Acquisition, we issued 2.5 million common units of TXO valued at $50.0 million (Note 4).

13. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Partnership recognizes sales of oil, natural gas, and NGLs when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Partnership expects to be entitled in exchange for the product.
As discussed in Note 10, the Partnership recognizes the impact of derivative gains and losses as a component of revenue. See table below for the reconciliation of revenue from contracts with customers and derivative gains and losses.

Natural Gas and NGL Sales
Under our natural gas processing contracts, we deliver natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or at the inlet of a facility. The midstream provider gathers and processes the product, and both the residue gas and the resulting natural gas liquids are sold at the tailgate of the plant. The Partnership’s natural gas production is primarily sold under market-sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to the published natural gas index price for the
13

producing area due to the natural gas quality and the proximity to the market. We evaluated these arrangements and determined that control of the products transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Partnership is the principal, and the third-party purchaser is its customer. As such, we present the gas and NGL sales on a gross basis and the related gathering and processing costs as a component of taxes, transportation, and other on the statement of operations.
Oil and Condensate Sales
Oil production is typically sold at the wellhead under market-sensitive contracts at an index price, net of pricing differentials. The Partnership recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received from the customer.
Production imbalances
The Partnership uses the sales method to account for production imbalances. If the Partnership’s sales volumes for a well exceed the Partnership’s proportionate share of production from the well, a liability is recognized to the extent that the Partnership’s share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves from the well is insufficient to satisfy the imbalance. No receivables are recorded for those wells on which the Partnership has taken less than its proportionate share of production.
Contract Balances
Under the Partnership’s product sales contracts, its customers are invoiced once the Partnership’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Partnership’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities.
Performance Obligations
The majority of the Partnership’s sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Partnership from disclosures of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original duration of one year or less.
For the Partnership’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), which states the Partnership is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not required.
14. Employee Benefit Plans

In January 2024, the compensation committee approved grants of 208,875 time-vesting phantom units with distribution equivalent rights to the non-employee directors, officers and certain key employees. These phantom units will vest ratably over a three-year period for the officers and key employees and will fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant for the non-employee directors. The phantom units will be settled in common units and distribution equivalents will be paid to holders of outstanding phantom units, including unvested phantom units.

Additionally, in January 2024, the compensation committee approved grants of 159,475 performance-vesting phantom units to the officers and certain key employees. These performance-based phantom units will be earned based on the Company’s performance during the 2024 calendar year according to certain performance objectives and will vest in one-half increments on January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2027. Prior to determination of the achievement of the performance objectives, distribution equivalent rights will be paid according to the target number of phantom units grants; following determination of the number of earned phantom units based on achievement of the performance objectives, distribution equivalent rights will be paid according to the number of earned phantom units. The phantom units will be settled in common units and distribution equivalents will be paid to holders of outstanding phantom units, including unvested phantom units.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “budget” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events at the time such statement was made. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations as discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statement include:

commodity price volatility;

the impact of epidemics, outbreaks or other public health events, and the related effects on financial markets, worldwide economic activity and our operations;
uncertainties about our estimated oil, natural gas and NGL reserves, including the impact of commodity price declines on the economic producibility of such reserves, and in projecting future rates of production;

risks related to the Williston Acquisitions, including the risk that we may fail to realize the expected benefits of the Williston Acquisitions;

the concentration of our operations in the Permian Basin, the San Juan Basin and the Williston Basin;

difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets;

lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations or other factors;

lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services;

potential financial losses or earnings reductions resulting from our commodity price risk management program or any inability to manage our commodity risks;

failure to realize expected value creation from property acquisitions and trades;
16


access to capital and the timing of development expenditures;

environmental, weather, drilling and other operating risks;

regulatory changes, including potential shut-ins or production curtailments mandated by the Railroad Commission of Texas;

competition in the oil and natural gas industry;

loss of production and leasehold rights due to mechanical failure or depletion of wells and our inability to re-establish their production;

our ability to service our indebtedness;

cost inflation;

political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, the Israel-Hamas war, attacks in the Red Sea and other continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, the armed conflict in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage;

evolving cybersecurity risks such as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insider or other with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions; and

risks related to our ability to expand our business, including through the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reservoir engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, our reserve and PV-10 estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development, optimization and exploitation of conventional oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid reserves in North America. Our properties are predominately located in the Permian Basin of New Mexico and Texas, the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado and the Williston Basin of Montana and North Dakota.

Recent Developments

Williston Basin Acquisitions
In August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Eagle Mountain Energy Partners and VR 4-ELM,LP, located in the Elm Coulee field in Montana and the Russian Creek field in North Dakota which are part of the Greater Williston Basin, for cash consideration of $241.8 million and 2.5 million common units of TXO valued at $50.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was funded by a combination of cash on hand from the Offering and borrowings under our Credit Facility

Additionally, in August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Kaiser-Francis Oil Company in the Russian Creek field in North Dakota for cash consideration of $18.2 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The KFOC Acquisition was funded by cash on hand from the Offering.

Equity Offering
On June 28, 2024, we completed the Offering for the sale of 6.5 million common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit, which resulted in proceeds of $122.5 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. On July 2, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 975,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its option to purchase additional common units in the Offering, resulting in additional proceeds of $18.7 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Williston Acquisitions.
Market Outlook
The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are highly volatile. For example, during the period from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, NYMEX prices for crude oil and natural gas reached a high of $93.68 per Bbl and $4.17 per MMBtu, respectively, and a low of $65.75 per Bbl and $1.58 per MMBtu, respectively. Oil prices were relatively stable over the first half of 2023 before initially increasing in the second half of 2023 as a result of expected supply constraints and hostilities in the Middle East. Since these concerns did not materialize, oil prices declined in December 2023 but continuing hostilities and higher global consumption pushed prices higher in the first half of 2024. However, increased supply led to lower prices in the third quarter of 2024. WTI crude oil prices have been volatile reaching a high of $93.68 per Bbl in September 2023 before declining to $69.22 per Bbl as of October 18, 2024. Natural gas prices reached a high of $4.17 per MMbtu in January 2023 before declining to $2.26 per MMbtu as of October 18, 2024.
We expect the crude oil and natural gas markets will continue to be volatile in the future. Our revenue, profitability and future growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production. Please see “Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Industry and Our Business--Commodity prices are volatile--A sustained decline in commodity prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.”

With our anticipated cash flows from our long-lived property base, we intend to provide allocation of funds to prudently meet our goals. These goals include the highest projected economic returns on our capital budget, acquisition opportunities that fulfill our strategy, and cash distributions for the life of our legacy assets. From time to time, we may choose to amortize repayment of debt incurred to support the longer-term financial stewardship of our business. At other times, given fluctuations in industry costs and commodity prices, we may modify our capital budget or cash balances to shift funds towards cash distributions. We will use all of these tools to support our underlying strategy as a “production and distribution” enterprise.

Concerns over global economic conditions, energy costs, supply chain disruptions, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed U.S. labor force, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit and the United States financial market and other factors have contributed to increased economic uncertainty and diminished expectations for the global economy. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the U.S. economy experienced the highest rate of inflation in the past 40 years. Rising inflation has been pervasive since 2022, increasing the cost of salaries, wages, supplies, material, freight, and energy. While we have seen inflation moderate in 2024, inflation continues to run higher
18

than the Federal Reserve target, resulting in higher costs. We continue to undertake actions and implement plans to address these pressures and protect the requisite access to commodities and services, however, these mitigation efforts may not succeed or be insufficient. Nevertheless, we expect for the foreseeable future to experience inflationary pressure on our cost structure. Principally, commodity costs for steel and chemicals required for drilling, higher transportation and fuel costs and wage increases have increased our operating costs. We do not expect these cost increases to reverse in the short term. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do associated costs. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to prices. We cannot predict the future inflation rate but to the extent these higher costs do not begin to reverse or start to increase again, we may experience a higher cost environment going forward. If we are unable to recover higher costs through higher commodity prices, our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions would all be significantly impacted.

Prior to our completion of the EMEP Acquisition in August 2024, EMEP incurred approximately $40 million of development capital on their planned program. At the time of the acquisition, there were several incomplete EMEP projects we expect to complete during the balance of the year. While it is too early to determine the full success of the EMEP capital program, we expect the average daily production on the Williston assets to consist of approximately 78% oil, 12% NGLs and 10% gas. We have hedged a portion of our underlying production to protect our distributions and the balance sheet.

Our borrowings under our Credit Facility of $148 million were incurred to partially fund the EMEP Acquisition. This has resulted in an increase to our net-debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX ratio to approximately one times, which is in compliance with our debt covenants.

As a result of the Williston Acquisitions, we increased our total leasehold and mineral acreage from approximately 846,000 gross (372,000 net) to approximately 1,120,000 gross (550,000 net).
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our operations, including:
production volumes;
realized prices on the sale of oil, NGLs and natural gas;
production expenses;
acquisition and development expenditures;
Adjusted EBITDAX; and
Cash Available for Distribution.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX

We include in this Quarterly Report the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDAX and provide our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAX and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income (loss), our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (4) impairment expenses, (5) accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, (6) exploration expenses, (7) unrealized (gains) losses on commodity derivative contracts, (8) non-cash incentive compensation, (9) non-cash (gain) loss on forgiveness of debt and (10) certain other non-cash expenses.

Adjusted EBITDAX is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate
19

our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Cash Available for Distribution

Cash available for distribution is not a measure of net income or net cash flow provided by or used in operating activities as determined by GAAP. Cash available for distribution is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, lenders and others (including industry analysts and rating agencies who will be using such measure), to assess our ability to internally fund our exploration and development activities, pay distributions, and to service or incur additional debt. We define cash available for distribution as Adjusted EBITDAX less net cash interest expense, exploration expense, non-recurring (gain) / loss and development costs. Development costs include all of our capital expenditures made for oil and gas properties, other than acquisitions. Cash available for distribution will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Cash available for distribution is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or net cash provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our financial performance and liquidity. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating activities.

You should not infer from our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDAX or cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDAX and cash available for distribution may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDAX and cash available for distribution may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Realized losses were $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
(2)Natural gas liquids prices include both realized losses and unrealized losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Realized losses were $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
(3)Natural gas prices include both realized losses and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and unrealized gains were $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Realized losses were $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Revenues
Revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, from $69.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $68.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue decreased $8.7 million as a result of a decrease in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on natural gas of 40% and $5.1 million as a result of a decrease in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on oil of 11%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $7.4 million due to an increase in production of 1 MBoe primarily as a result of increased oil production of 116 MBbls and increased NGL production of 16 MBbls due to production from the Williston Basin Acquisitions partially offset by natural declines and downtime. This increased production was partially offset by decreased natural gas production of 788 MMcf primarily due to natural declines. Additionally, gains on our hedging activity of $4.5 million, of which $1.0 million were unrealized gains and $3.5 million were realized gains and an increase in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on NGLs of 12% resulted in an increase in revenue of $0.7 million.
Production expenses
Production expenses increased $3.8 million, or 11%, from $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $39.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to costs from the Williston Basin Acquisitions.
23

On a per unit basis, production expenses increased from $16.95 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $18.73 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to having a higher percentage of oil production, which is more expensive on a Boe basis than natural gas production.
Taxes, transportation, and other
Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $0.8 million, or 5%, from $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower natural gas and oil prices partially offset by increased NGL prices and the increase in production.
On a per unit basis, taxes, transportation, and other decreased from $7.25 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $6.87 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily related to the lower natural gas and oil prices.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased $3.0 million, or 28%, from $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the Williston Basin production.
On a per unit basis, depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased from $5.05 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $6.45 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to the Williston Basin production which has a higher rate than the historical properties.
General and administrative
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $1.5 million, or 87%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to higher personnel costs of $0.9 million due, in part, to amortization of unit awards and increased acquisition costs.
On a per unit basis, G&A expense increased from $0.83 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.56 per Boe sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to increased costs partially offset by increased production.
Other income
Other income increased $1.1 million, or 22%, from $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to higher CO2 and plant income of $1.1 million. The CO2 and plant income is ancillary to the operations of the gas processing plant in the Permian Basin in New Mexico and CO2 assets in Colorado.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 55%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to increased borrowings and a higher interest rate.

_________________________________
(1)Oil and condensate prices include both realized gains from derivatives. Unrealized gains were $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Realized losses were $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(2)Natural gas liquids prices include both realized gains and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and unrealized gains were $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Realized gains were $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(3)Natural gas prices include both realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives. Unrealized losses were $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and unrealized gains were $83.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Realized gains were $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and realized losses were $76.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Revenues
Revenues decreased $95.3 million, or 33%, from $288.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $193.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 67% decrease in the average selling price of natural gas, excluding the effects of derivatives, resulting in a decrease in revenue of $86.0 million, on oil of less than 1% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $0.5 million and on NGLs of 1% resulting in a decrease in revenue of $0.3 million. Additionally, revenue decreased $3.9 million due to a decrease in production of 145 MBoe primarily as a result of natural production declines and downtime partially offset by production from the Williston Basin Acquisitions. Finally, we incurred net losses on our hedging activity of $4.5 million, of which $88.4 million were unrealized losses and $83.9 million were realized gains.
Production expenses
Production expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 1%, from $110.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $109.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to decreased maintenance and energy costs partially offset by costs related to the Williston Basin Acquisitions.
On a per unit basis, production expenses increased from $17.64 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $17.84 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to costs related to the Williston Basin Acquisitions and the decrease in production partially offset by decreased maintenance and energy costs.
26

Taxes, transportation, and other
Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $16.0 million, or 27%, from $59.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $43.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in natural gas, NGLs and oil prices and the decrease in production.
On a per unit basis, taxes, transportation, and other decreased from $9.47 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $7.07 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily related to the lower natural gas, NGLs and oil prices.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 4%, from $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to a higher rate, primarily due to Williston Basin production which has a higher rate than the historical properties, partially offset by decreased production.
On a per unit basis, depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased from $5.29 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $5.63 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to the Williston Basin production which has a higher rate than the historical properties.
General and administrative
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $5.5 million, or 108%, from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to higher personnel costs of $4.3 million due in part to amortization of unit awards and additional expenses related to being a public company.
On a per unit basis, G&A expense increased from $0.81 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.72 per Boe sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to increased costs and decreased production.
Other income
Other income increased $10.4 million, or 57%, from $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to $7.0 million in bonus payments on term assignment of leases, higher CO2 and plant income of $2.6 million and a $0.8 million increase in marketing income. The CO2 and plant income is ancillary to the operations of the gas processing plant in the Permian Basin in New Mexico and CO2 assets in Colorado.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 19%, from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased borrowings and a higher interest rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital will be cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility were $148.0 million at September 30, 2024 and $21.0 million at December 31, 2023, and the remaining availability under our Credit Facility was $127.0 million at September 30, 2024 and $144.0 million at December 31, 2023. Additionally, we had negative net working capital (including cash and excluding the effects of derivative instruments) of $1.5 million at September 30, 2024 and positive net working capital (including cash and excluding the effects of derivative instruments) $14.1 million at December 31, 2023.
On June 28, 2024, we completed the Offering, which resulted in proceeds of $122.5 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. On July 2, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 975,000 common units at
27

a price of $20.00 per common unit pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its option to purchase additional common units in the Offering, resulting in additional proceeds of $18.7 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Williston Acquisitions.
As of September 30, 2024, we have $148.0 million outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand of $3.8 million. These borrowings under our Credit Facility, which increased our net-debt-to-EBITDAX ratio to approximately one times, were incurred to fund the remainder of the Williston Basin Acquisitions. We expect to carry this level of debt moving forward.
Our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) to our unitholders. Our quarterly cash distributions may vary from quarter to quarter as a direct result of variations in the performance of our business, including those caused by fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. Such variations may be significant and quarterly distributions paid to our unitholders may be zero. Our third quarter distribution of $0.58 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was declared on November 5, 2024 and will be paid on November 22, 2024 to unitholders of record on November 15, 2024.

The fourth quarter distribution of $0.58 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was paid on March 28, 2024. The first quarter distribution of $0.65 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was paid May 29, 2024. The second quarter distribution of $0.57 per unit with respect to cash available for distribution for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was paid August 27, 2024.
Our acquisition and development expenditures consist of acquisitions of proved, unproved and other property and development expenditures. Our capital expenditures including acquisitions were $273.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $40.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

In order to mitigate volatility in oil and natural gas prices, we have entered into commodity derivative contracts. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk.”
We incurred costs of approximately $15.7 million for drilling, completion and recompletion activities and facilities costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and we have budgeted approximately $20.0 million for such costs in 2024.
The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is substantially within our control and subject to management’s discretion. We retain the flexibility to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the prevailing and anticipated prices for oil, NGLs and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, seasonal conditions and drilling and acquisition costs. Any postponement or elimination of our development program could result in a reduction of proved reserve volumes, production and cash flow, including distributions to unitholders.
Based on current commodity prices and our drilling success rate to date, we expect to be able to fund our distributions, meet our debt obligations and fund our 2024 capital development program and acquisitions from cash flow from operations, the Offering and borrowings under our Credit Facility.
If cash flow from operations does not meet our expectations, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures and/or distributions to unitholders. Alternatively, we may fund these expenditures using borrowings under our Credit Facility, issuances of debt and equity securities or from other sources, such as asset sales. We cannot assure you that necessary capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise funds through the incurrence of additional indebtedness could be limited by covenants in our debt arrangements. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us, finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or proved reserves, or make distributions to unitholders.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to a decrease in net cash paid on our derivatives, partially offset by a decline in operating results, excluding the effects of derivatives, primarily due to lower production and lower natural gas, NGL and oil realizations partially offset by decreased costs.
Net cash used by investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities increased $232.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to an increase in proved property acquisitions of $252.2 million partially offset by decreased development costs of $19.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $226.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in net borrowings under our Credit Facility of $222.0 million and increased net proceeds from public offering of $35.0 million partially offset by increased distributions to unitholders of $27.9 million and increased debt offering costs of $3.0 million.
Revolving credit agreement
On August 30, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Borrowing Base Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) on our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain commercial banks, as the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. We use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Amendment No. 4 extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to August 30, 2028, increased the borrowing base from $165 million to $275 million and joined certain new Lenders to the Credit Facility.
29

Our Credit Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on incurring debt and liens, limitations on merging or consolidating with another company, limitations on making certain restricted payments, limitations on investments, limitations on paying distributions on, redeeming, or repurchasing common units, limitations on entering into transactions with affiliates, and limitations on asset sales. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including non-payment, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, cross-default, bankruptcy and change of control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.
At our election, interest on borrowings under the credit facility is determined by reference to either the secured overnight financing rate plus an applicable margin between 3.00% and 4.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility). The weighted average interest rate on Credit Facility borrowings was 8.80% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We are required to maintain (i) a current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) greater than 1.0 to 1.0, which for purposes of this definition includes availability under the Credit Facility but excludes the fair value of derivative instruments, and (ii) a ratio of total net debt-to-EBITDAX of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For purposes of the total net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio, total net debt is total debt for borrowed money (including capital leases and purchase money debt) minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand at such time (not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate), minus the unpaid balance of the FAM Loan. EBITDAX means the sum of (i) net income plus interest expense; income taxes paid; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expenses, including workover expenses; non-cash charges including unrealized losses on derivative instruments; and, any extraordinary or non-recurring charges, minus (ii) any extraordinary or non-recurring income and any non-cash income including unrealized gains on derivative instruments.
We had $148 million of debt outstanding and $127 million available under our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024.
Contractual obligations and commitments
We have not guaranteed the debt or obligations of any other party, nor do we have any other arrangements or relationships with other entities that could potentially result in consolidated debt or losses.
Derivative contracts
We have entered into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. If market prices are higher than the contract prices when the cash settlement amount is calculated, we are required to pay the contract counterparties. As of September 30, 2024, the current liability related to such contracts was $1.3 million. Such payments will generally be funded by higher prices received from the sale of oil, NGLs and natural gas. For further information on derivative contracts, see Note 10 in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Asset Retirement Obligation
At September 30, 2024, we had asset retirement obligations of $179.8 million inclusive of a current portion of $1.8 million. For further information on asset retirement obligations, see Note 7 in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

There has been no change in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes
30

other than speculative trading. Also, gains and losses on these instruments are generally offset by losses and gains on the offsetting expenses.
Commodity price risk
Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, NGL and natural gas production. Pricing for oil, NGLs, and natural gas has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we receive for our oil, NGL, and natural gas production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and global supply and demand for the commodities we produce.
To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil, NGL and natural gas prices on our revenues, we periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our oil, NGL and natural gas production through various transactions that limit the risks of fluctuations of future prices. We plan to continue our practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, we may enter into collars, whereby we receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling. These hedging activities are intended to limit our exposure to product price volatility and to maintain stable cash flows.
As of September 30, 2024, the fair market value of our oil, NGL and natural gas derivative contracts was a net liability of $1.5 million. Based upon our open commodity derivative positions at September 30, 2024, a hypothetical 10% change in the NYMEX WTI and Henry Hub prices, OPIS prices and basis prices would change our net oil, NGL and natural gas derivative liability by approximately $21.4 million.

The hypothetical change in fair value could be a gain or loss depending on whether prices increase or decrease.
Counterparty and customer credit risk
Our cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We manage and control this risk by investing these funds in major financial institutions. We often have balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
We sell oil, NGL and natural gas production to various types of customers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and historical payment record. The future availability of a ready market for our production depends on numerous factors outside of our control, none of which can be predicted with certainty. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had two customers, that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. We do not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact our operating results because oil, NGLs and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.
At September 30, 2024, we had commodity derivative contracts with counterparties. We are currently not required to provide collateral or other security to counterparties to support derivative instruments; however, to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, we use master netting arrangements to minimize credit risk exposure. The creditworthiness of our counterparties is subject to periodic review.
31

Interest rate risk
At September 30, 2024, we had $148 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $1.5 million per year. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Revolving credit agreement.”

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding its required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict the outcome of any such lawsuits with certainty, but management believes it is remote that pending or threatened legal matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in other routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment-related disputes. In the opinion of our management, none of these other pending litigation matters, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the risks set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Risks Related to the Williston Acquisitions

We may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of the EMEP Acquisition and our assessment and estimates of the Williston Assets may prove to be incorrect.

We may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of the EMEP Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the EMEP Acquisition will be beneficial to us. We may not be able to integrate the Williston Assets without increases in costs or other difficulties. Any unexpected costs or delays incurred in connection with the integration of the EMEP Acquisition could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, as well as the market price of our common units.

Our assessment and estimates of the properties in the EMEP Acquisition to date has been limited and may prove to be incorrect. Our assessment of these properties may not reveal all existing or potential problems. In addition, any inspection that we do may not reveal all title issues or other problems. We may be required to assume the risk that the properties may not perform in accordance with our expectations. Our ability to make specified claims against the seller generally expires over time and we may be left with no recourse for liabilities and other problems associated with the Williston Acquisitions that we do not discover prior to the expiration date related to such matters arising under the Williston Acquisitions. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the EMEP 2024 development program will increase production or enable us to achieve a three-year average annual decline rate on the Williston Assets of approximately 14%.

The market price of our common units may decline as a result of the Williston Acquisitions if, among other things, the integration of the properties acquired in the Williston Acquisitions is unsuccessful or if the properties are not successfully developed by working interest owners or if the liabilities, expenses, title and other defects, or transaction costs related to the Williston Acquisitions is greater than expected. The market price of our common units may decline if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Williston Acquisitions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by us or by securities market participants or if the effect of the Williston Acquisitions on our business, results of operations or financial condition or prospects is not consistent with our expectations or those of securities market participants.

As a result of the completion of the EMEP Acquisition, we are required to prepare and disclose historical and pro forma financial statements with the SEC, which such financial statements have not been prepared or filed as of the date of this report.

As a result of the completion of the EMEP Acquisition, we are required to file audited financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X (“Regulation S-X”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and pro forma financial statements in connection with the Williston Acquisitions no later than 75 calendar days after the date on which the EMEP Acquisition closes. You will not have the benefit of the financial statements or pro forma information relating to the Williston Acquisitions until such financial statements are filed, and the pro forma financial statements of the Company, pro forma for the Williston Acquisitions, may differ significantly from the historical financial statements of the Company.




33

Any acquisitions we complete, including the Williston Acquisitions, are subject to substantial risks that could reduce our ability to make distributions to our common unitholders.

Even if we do make acquisitions that we believe will increase the amount of cash available for distribution to our common unitholders, these acquisitions, including the Williston Acquisitions, may nevertheless result in a decrease in the amount of cash available for distribution. Any acquisition, including the Williston Acquisitions, involves potential risks, including, among other things:

the validity of our assumptions about estimated proved reserves, future production, drilling locations, prices, revenues, capital expenditures and production costs;

the assumption of unknown liabilities, losses or costs for which we are not indemnified or for which any indemnity we receive is inadequate;

our inability to obtain satisfactory title to the assets we acquire; and

the occurrence of other significant changes, such as impairment of oil and natural gas properties, goodwill or other intangible assets, asset devaluation or restructuring charges.

We incurred significant indebtedness to finance the EMEP Acquisition.

As of September 30, 2024, we have $148.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. This resulted in an increase to our net-debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX ratio to approximately one times.

This indebtedness will increase our borrowing costs and may have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. Furthermore, our borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, and such indebtedness will expose us to interest rate risk, as our debt service obligations could increase if interest rates increase. As a result, this indebtedness will require that an increased portion of our cash flows from operations be used for the payment of interest and principal on such indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use cash flows from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and our cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

The Williston Acquisitions may have liabilities that are not known to us, and the indemnities in the applicable Purchase Agreement may not offer adequate protection.

In connection with the Williston Acquisitions, we have agreed to assume certain liabilities. In addition, there may be liabilities that we failed or were unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations into the Williston Acquisitions, or we may not have correctly assessed the significance of certain liabilities identified in the course of our due diligence. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may learn additional information as we integrate the entities and their businesses into our operations, such as unknown or contingent liabilities or issues relating to compliance with applicable laws, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisitions Acquisitions
In August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Eagle Mountain Energy Partners and VR 4-ELM,LP, located in the Elm Coulee field in Montana and the Russian Creek field in North Dakota which are part of the Greater Williston Basin, for cash consideration of $241.8 million and 2.5 million common units of TXO valued at
$50.0 million (the “EMEP Acquisition”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation included $312.2 million to proved properties, $0.6 million to other properties, $0.3 million to other current assets, $1.0 million to other assets, $5.4 million to other current liabilities and $16.8 million to asset retirement obligation. The acquisition was funded by a combination of cash on hand from the public offering (Note 12) and borrowings under our Credit Facility (Note 5). In the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $8.8 million of revenues and net income of $3.7 million from this acquisition.

Additionally, in August 2024, we completed the acquisition of producing properties from Kaiser-Francis Oil Company in the Russian Creek field in North Dakota for cash consideration of $18.2 million (the “KFOC Acquisition”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Our preliminary purchase price allocation included $19.8 million to proved properties and $1.6 million to asset retirement obligation. The acquisition was funded by cash on hand from the public offering (Note 12).

November 2021 Credit Facility
On August 30, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Borrowing Base Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) on our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain commercial banks, as the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. We use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Amendment No. 4 extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to August 30, 2028, increased the borrowing base from $165 million to $275 million and joined certain new Lenders to the Credit Facility. In connection with the Credit Facility, we incurred financing fees and expenses, which are included in other assets on the balance sheets, of approximately $6.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2023 before accumulated amortization of $2.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023. We incurred $3.1 million of financing fees and expenses in conjunction with Amendment No. 4. These costs are being amortized over the life of the credit facility. Such amortized expenses are recorded as interest expense on the statements of operations.
Redeterminations of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, are based primarily on reserve reports that reflect commodity prices at such time, and occur semi-annually, in March and September, as well as upon request by the lenders at their sole discretion, no more than once per six-month period. We also have the right to request up to two additional borrowing base redeterminations each year at our discretion. Significant declines in commodity prices may result in a decrease in the borrowing base. These borrowing base declines can be offset by any commodity price hedges we enter. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Partnership, including, without limitation, (i) our interest in the joint venture, (ii) all our deposit accounts, securities accounts, and commodities accounts, (iii) any
receivables owed to us by Cross Timbers Energy and (iv) any oil and gas properties owned directly by TXO Partners or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We are required to maintain (i) a current ratio greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and current assets shall include availability under the Credit Facility but shall exclude the fair value of derivative instruments and current liabilities shall exclude the fair value of derivative instruments and any advances under the Credit Facility and (ii) a ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDAX of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For purposes of the total net debt-to-EBITDAX ratio (“Leverage Ratio”), total net debt includes total debt for borrowed money (including capital leases and purchase money debt), minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand at such time (not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate), minus the unpaid balance of the FAM Loan. EBITDAX means sum of (i) net income plus interest expense; income taxes paid; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expenses, including workover expenses; non-cash charges including unrealized losses on derivative instruments; and, any extraordinary or non-recurring charges, minus (ii) any extraordinary or non-recurring income and any non-cash income including unrealized gains on derivative instruments. Effective with the Second Amendment, our hedge requirements are based on availability under the Credit Facility and the Leverage Ratio. If the Leverage Ratio is greater than 0.75 to 1.00, we are required to hedge at least 50% of reasonably anticipated projected production of proved developed producing reserves for the 24 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.75 to 1.00 and availability under the Credit Facility is greater than 20% of the then current borrowing base, the minimum required hedge volume would be 35% for the 12 months following the end of the most recent quarter. If the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.50 to 1.00 and availability under the Credit Facility is greater than 66.7% of the then current borrowing base, there would be no minimum required hedge volume.  Our Credit Facility prohibits us from hedging more than 90% of our reasonably projected production for any fiscal year. Under the terms of the Credit Facility as amended, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Additionally, we believe we have adequate liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
At our election, interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is determined by reference to either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin between 3.00% and 4.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under the Credit Facility). Interest is generally payable quarterly for loans bearing interest based on the ABR and at the end of the applicable interest period (either one, three or six months) for loans bearing interest at SOFR. We are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Credit Facility, which accrues at a rate per annum of 0.5% on the average daily unused amount of the lesser of: (i) the maximum commitment amount of the lenders and (ii) the then-effective borrowing base.
September 2016 Loan
On September 30, 2016, TXO Partners entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Cross Timbers Energy (the “FAM Loan”). The proceeds for the loan were taken from the cash held by the offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation and the loan was assigned to the offshore subsidiary (Note 6). The loan matures on November 29, 2028, but is automatically extended should the maturity date of the Credit Facility be extended. In all instances, this loan will mature ninety-one days after the maturity of the Credit Facility. Interest on the loan is the lesser of (a) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus three and one-quarter of one percent (3.25%) per annum, adjusted monthly or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Though the note is unsecured, we are required to stay in compliance with terms of the Credit Facility.

Note Receivable from Related Party Note Receivable from Related Party
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we, through our 5% ownership interest in investment assets at Cross Timbers Energy, had a note receivable totaling $7.1 million outstanding with a highly-rated, offshore subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, there is no stated maturity date and Cross Timbers Energy may demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance on two business days’ notice. Interest is earned based on the one-month SOFR rate and is paid monthly. Interest income totaled $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2024 and $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023.
The note receivable is treated as a non-current asset, since Cross Timbers Energy does not have any intention of demanding repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding balance at this time. Repayment would require the approval of the Cross Timbers Energy MMC.

Our asset retirement obligation primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our proved producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability.

From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.
To date, our expenditures to comply with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations have not been significant and are not expected to be significant in the future. However, new regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant future costs.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Fair Value
We periodically use commodity-based and financial derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We periodically enter into futures contracts, costless collars, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales (Note 10).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Because of their short-term maturity, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying values at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following are estimated fair values and carrying values of our other financial instruments at each of these dates:

Derivative liability$(8,614)$(8,614)$(4,045)$(4,045)
The fair value of our note receivable from related party approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is based on current market interest rates and can be called upon two business days’ notice (Note 6). The fair value of our long-term debt approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate is reset periodically at then current market rates (Note 5).
The fair value of our note receivable from related party (Note 6), derivative asset/(liability) (Note 10) and our long-term debt (Note 5) is measured using Level 2 inputs, and are determined by either market prices on an active market for
similar assets or other market-corroborated prices. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of our note receivable and net derivative asset (liability). Since our counterparty is highly rated, the fair value of our note receivable from related party does not require an adjustment to account for the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty, however, an adjustment for counterparty credit risk has been applied to the net derivative asset (liability).
The following table summarizes our fair value measurements and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable and are based upon Level 3 inputs. These assets and liabilities can include assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired. Such fair value estimates require assumptions and judgments regarding the existence of liabilities, the amount and timing of cash outflows required to settle the liability, what constitutes adequate restoration, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, and consideration of changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.
We periodically review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We review our oil and natural gas properties by asset group. The estimated future net cash flows are based upon the underlying reserves and anticipated future pricing. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of a particular asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of such assets. The fair value of the proved properties is measured based on the income approach, which incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future product prices, which the Partnership bases on the forward-price curves, estimates of oil and gas reserves, estimates of future expected operating and capital costs and a risk adjusted discount rate of 10%. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Commodity Price Hedging Instruments
We periodically enter into futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions, costless collars and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. See Note 10.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commodity Sales Commitments Commodity Sales Commitments
Our policy is to consider hedging a portion of our production at commodity prices the general partner deems attractive. While there is a risk we may not be able to realize the benefit of rising prices, the general partner may enter into hedging agreements because of the benefits of predictable, stable cash flows.
We periodically enter futures contracts, energy swaps, swaptions and basis swaps to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the fixed price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the contractually provided fixed price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. We also enter costless price collars, which set a ceiling and floor price to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on natural gas sales. When actual commodity prices exceed the ceiling price provided by these contracts we pay this excess to the counterparty, and when the commodity prices are below the floor price, we receive this difference from the counterparty. If the actual commodity price falls in between the ceiling and floor price, there is no cash settlement.

On November 5, 2024, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution of $0.58 per common unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The distribution will be paid on November 22, 2024, to unitholders of record on November 15, 2024.

On June 28, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering for the sale of 6.5 million common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit resulting in proceeds of $122.5 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs (“the Offering”). On July 2, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 975,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its option to purchase additional common units in the Offering, resulting in additional proceeds of $18.7 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the EMEP Acquisition and the KFOC Acquisition (Note 4).
On August 30, 2024, as part of the consideration paid in the EMEP Acquisition, we issued 2.5 million common units of TXO valued at $50.0 million (Note 4).

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Partnership recognizes sales of oil, natural gas, and NGLs when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Partnership expects to be entitled in exchange for the product.
As discussed in Note 10, the Partnership recognizes the impact of derivative gains and losses as a component of revenue. See table below for the reconciliation of revenue from contracts with customers and derivative gains and losses.

Natural Gas and NGL Sales
Under our natural gas processing contracts, we deliver natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or at the inlet of a facility. The midstream provider gathers and processes the product, and both the residue gas and the resulting natural gas liquids are sold at the tailgate of the plant. The Partnership’s natural gas production is primarily sold under market-sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to the published natural gas index price for the
producing area due to the natural gas quality and the proximity to the market. We evaluated these arrangements and determined that control of the products transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Partnership is the principal, and the third-party purchaser is its customer. As such, we present the gas and NGL sales on a gross basis and the related gathering and processing costs as a component of taxes, transportation, and other on the statement of operations.
Oil and Condensate Sales
Oil production is typically sold at the wellhead under market-sensitive contracts at an index price, net of pricing differentials. The Partnership recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received from the customer.
Production imbalances
The Partnership uses the sales method to account for production imbalances. If the Partnership’s sales volumes for a well exceed the Partnership’s proportionate share of production from the well, a liability is recognized to the extent that the Partnership’s share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves from the well is insufficient to satisfy the imbalance. No receivables are recorded for those wells on which the Partnership has taken less than its proportionate share of production.
Contract Balances
Under the Partnership’s product sales contracts, its customers are invoiced once the Partnership’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Partnership’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities.
Performance Obligations
The majority of the Partnership’s sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Partnership from disclosures of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original duration of one year or less.
For the Partnership’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Partnership has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), which states the Partnership is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not required.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans
In January 2024, the compensation committee approved grants of 208,875 time-vesting phantom units with distribution equivalent rights to the non-employee directors, officers and certain key employees. These phantom units will vest ratably over a three-year period for the officers and key employees and will fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant for the non-employee directors. The phantom units will be settled in common units and distribution equivalents will be paid to holders of outstanding phantom units, including unvested phantom units.

Additionally, in January 2024, the compensation committee approved grants of 159,475 performance-vesting phantom units to the officers and certain key employees. These performance-based phantom units will be earned based on the Company’s performance during the 2024 calendar year according to certain performance objectives and will vest in one-half increments on January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2027. Prior to determination of the achievement of the performance objectives, distribution equivalent rights will be paid according to the target number of phantom units grants; following determination of the number of earned phantom units based on achievement of the performance objectives, distribution equivalent rights will be paid according to the number of earned phantom units. The phantom units will be settled in common units and distribution equivalents will be paid to holders of outstanding phantom units, including unvested phantom units.
The following summarizes the status of nonvested phantom units as of September 30, 2024:

    Vestings$20.00 (188,332)
Nonvested at September 30, 2024$19.48 555,543 

We recognized compensation expense related to these grants of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we had total deferred compensation expense of $10.8 million. For these non-vested unit awards, we estimate that compensation expense for service periods after September 30, 2024 will be $1.6 million in 2024, $6.1 million in 2025, $2.9 million in 2026 and $0.2 million in 2027.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and on the same basis as our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods shown. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above. The results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for the full year.
