Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution

Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.015796 per unit, payable on March 13, 2015 to unitholders of record on February 27, 2015. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of November 2014 and natural gas production during October 2014.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.

Underlying Sales VolumesAverage Price

Current Month 78,027 432,627 $ 69.92 $ 3.94
Prior Month 81,868 428,266 $ 76.79 $ 4.17

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $5.5 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.8 million from the prior month calculation. The decrease was primarily due to a 10 percent decline in NYMEX oil prices as well as decreased sales volumes resulting from one less production day in November.

Natural gas receipts decreased $0.1 million from the prior month, totaling $1.7 million, primarily as a result of decreased NYMEX gas prices.

The current distribution includes receipts from 17 Rocker B wells producing through November 2014. In total, the 17 Rocker B wells contributed $0.6 million of oil cash receipts for the current distribution period. Total average daily oil sales volumes for the current distribution period for the properties underlying the Trust were approximately 2,600 Bbls/D, of which 260 Bbls/D are attributable to the Rocker B wells.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled $2.5 million and relate to expenses incurred during December 2014. Of this amount, approximately $1.4 million of capital expenditures are related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. Through December, capital incurred for projects to date in the Wolfcamp Rocker B program totaled $26.0 million, or $20.8 million net to the Trust’s 80% net profits interest.

Lost Tank Field Update

As previously disclosed, in late 2012, Enduro elected to participate in two Permian oil wells drilled by Occidental Petroleum in the Lost Tank field in southeastern New Mexico, in which Enduro owns a 50% working interest. The wells were spud in December 2012; however, due to delays including takeaway capacity for associated gas volumes and completion delays on one well, the wells are not currently producing.

The first well which was completed, the Lost Tank 4 Federal 22, continues to experience delays due to a stuck packer in the well, and at this time, Occidental Petroleum has updated its plans to clean out the well with coil tubing and produce through the packer later in 2015. The second well, the Lost Tank 4 Federal 23, was completed in February 2015 and is currently waiting on state permit approval to begin producing with expectations to be flowing to sales in March 2015.
