San Juan Basin Royalty Trust Declares March Cash Distribution

Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $3,310,291.74 or $0.071023 per unit, based principally upon production during the month of January 2017. The distribution is payable April 13, 2017, to unit holders of record as of March 31, 2017.

Gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved (the “Subject Interests”) totaled approximately 2,103,048 Mcf (2,359,182 MMBtu) for January 2017. Dividing revenues by production volume yielded an average gas price for January 2017 of $3.42 per Mcf ($3.05 per MMBtu) as compared to $3.05 per Mcf ($2.73 per MMBtu) for December 2016.

The average monthly gas price Burlington reports to the Trust is a calculated price. It is determined by dividing gross monthly revenue by production volume, and therefore, it does not represent an average of actual sales prices. The average gas price may vary from the posted index price for the San Juan Basin. The index price is a gross sales price, and the revenues used in the calculation of average gas prices are net of transportation, processing and gathering costs. Furthermore, the distribution to the Trust in any given month may include significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect pricing for those prior months.

For the month ended February 2017, capital costs were $17,353 and lease operating expenses were $2,018,853. A property tax credit was issued for $79,440. Severance taxes for the January production month were $748,597.
