30 rewritten, 49 added, 11 removed, 121 unchanged
The risks described below, and other risks noted throughout this Annual [removed: Report on Form 10-K,] [added: Report,] including those risks identified in Part II, Item [removed: 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are not the only ones facing us.][added: 7.]
Market prices for oil and gas are subject to [removed: US] [added: U.S.] and global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions and infrastructure and logistical constraints, amongst others, and, in the past, have been subject to significant price fluctuations.
Price fluctuations for oil and gas have been particularly volatile in recent years due to supply and demand [removed: constraints,] [added: factors,] worldwide energy conservation measures, OPEC and OPEC+ actions, global conflicts in major oil producing regions, especially in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and general economic cycles, among other factors.
Our oil and gas royalty revenue is derived primarily from perpetual non-participating oil and gas royalty interests that we have retained or [added: oil and gas interests that we have] acquired.
Our desire to sell and the demand and pricing for any particular tract of our land is influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: (i) access and location, (ii) the national and local economies, (iii) the rate of oil and gas well development by operators, (iv) the rate of development in nearby areas, (v) the livestock carrying capacity, and (vi) the condition of the local [removed: industries, which itself is influenced by a range of conditions.]
Demand for TPWR’s products and services is substantially dependent on demand and expenditures by our customers for the exploration, development and production of oil and [removed: natural] gas reserves.
These expenditures are generally dependent on our customers’ overall financial position, capital allocation priorities, and views of future oil and [removed: natural] gas prices.
We have encountered and may continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and difficulties frequently experienced in [added: a] new and rapidly evolving [removed: markets] [added: market] with respect to the business of TPWR, including, but not limited to:
- lack of sufficient customers or loss of significant customers for the [removed: new line] [added: business] of [removed: business;][added: TPWR;]
[removed: Due] [added: In addition, due] to increased seismicity in the Delaware and Midland Basins, the Texas Railroad Commission recently began implementing seismic response areas (“SRAs”) limiting the permitted capacity and use of certain saltwater disposal wells (“SWDs”) for the injection of produced water.
Our estimated proved developed producing [added: (“PDP”)] reserves are based on many assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate.
It is not possible to measure underground accumulations of oil, [removed: natural] gas, and NGL with precision.
Oil and [removed: natural] gas reserve engineering requires subjective estimates of underground accumulations of oil and [removed: natural] gas and assumptions concerning future oil and [removed: natural] gas prices, production levels, ultimate recoveries and operating and development costs.
In estimating our [removed: proved developed producing (“PDP”)] [added: PDP] reserves, we and Ryder Scott Company, L.P. [removed: ("Ryder Scott"),] [added: (“Ryder Scott”),] an independent third-party petroleum engineering firm, must make various assumptions with respect to many matters that may prove to be incorrect, including:
- future oil, [removed: natural] gas, and NGL prices;
[removed: Our historical estimates] [added: Estimates] of [added: our] proved, developed and producing reserves and related valuations as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] were prepared by Ryder Scott, which conducted a well-by-well review of all wells in which we have a mineral or royalty interest for the period covered by its reserve report using information provided by us.
Numerous changes over time to the assumptions on which our reserve estimates are based, as described above, may result in the actual quantities of oil and [removed: natural] gas that are ultimately recovered being different from our reserve estimates.
If we cannot retain our experienced personnel or attract additional experienced [added: technical] personnel, our ability to compete within our industry could be harmed.
The completion of the Corporate Reorganization implicated conditions and covenants contained in certain agreements to which the Trust was, and now TPL [removed: Corporation] is, a party and thereby may cause us to lose certain benefits that the Trust historically received.
For example, the obligation to pay ad valorem taxes with respect to certain of our royalty interests was assumed by a third party and is now the obligation of the successors in interest to such third [removed: party (the “obligors”),] [added: party,] so long as such royalty interests are held by the Trustees or their successors in office under the Declaration of Trust.
While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party following payment of such taxes, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in getting reimbursed, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, [removed: including:][added: including, but not limited to:]
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative, [added: participating, optional and special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Board may generally determine in its sole discretion.]
The timing, declaration, amount of, and payment of any cash dividends to our stockholders is within the discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, covenants associated with [added: our Credit Facility or] any [added: future] debt service obligations or other contractual obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, ability to access capital markets and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
During the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Company repurchased [removed: 30,432] [added: 27,000] outstanding shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of [removed: $29.2] [added: $8.4] million, which repurchased shares were placed in treasury.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless the Company otherwise determines, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court residing within the State of Delaware) or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, Texas (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any district court in Dallas County in the State of Texas) will be the sole and exclusive forums for [added: any derivative action brought on our behalf, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, employees or stockholders, any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents arising pursuant to, or seeking to enforce any right, obligation or remedy under any provision of the DGCL, the laws of the State of Texas, the laws of the State of New York, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our Bylaws or any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case, subject to the applicable court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants in such action or proceeding.]
Our business and financial results are therefore subject to disruption from natural or human causes beyond our control, including physical risks from severe storms, floods, droughts resulting in aquifer declines and other forms of severe weather, war, accidents, civil unrest, political events, fires, earthquakes, system failures, pipeline disruptions, environmental hazards such as oil and produced water spills, terrorist acts and epidemic or pandemic diseases, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on oil and [removed: natural] gas production and, therefore, our results of operations.
Much of the value of the land we own and upon which we receive royalties is based on the oil and [removed: natural] gas reserves located there.
In addition, the possibility of taxes on energy sources, including oil and gas, may affect the demand for crude oil and [removed: natural] gas and the operating costs for third-party operators on our royalty properties.
Any of these impacts could materially and adversely affect our business and operating [added: results, and the market price of our Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by stockholder activism.]
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are not the only ones facing us.
The market in which TPWR operates is highly competitive and includes numerous companies capable of competing effectively on a local basis.
TPWR competes with landowners, water supply and transfer companies, and companies who engage in the sale or treatment of produced water.
Some of our larger diversified competitors have a broad geographic scope and have benefits of scale, while others focus on specific areas only and may have locally competitive cost efficiencies as a result.
Additionally, there may be new companies that enter the water solutions business, or our existing and potential customers may develop their own water management solutions.
Our ability to maintain current revenue and cash flows, and our ability to expand our operations, could be adversely affected by the activities of our competitors and our customers.
Some state and local governmental authorities have begun to monitor or restrict the use of water to ensure adequate local water supply.
For example, in January 2024, the Railroad Commission of Texas indefinitely suspended all deep oil and gas produced water injections in Culberson and Reeves counties.
Our produced water desalination project creates risks related to invested capital, environmental exposure and our reputation.
Through Transmissive, we are developing a proprietary produced water desalination technology and advancing the beneficial reuse process.
Development of a produced water treatment facility requires substantial capital and may result in total project costs exceeding initial estimates due to inflation, supply chain constraints, labor and equipment availability, design changes, regulatory requirements or technical challenges.
Delays in permitting, produced water sourcing, waste disposal arrangements, construction or commissioning could defer or reduce expected cash flows and impair the anticipated return on our investment.
Actual throughput, pricing, operating costs and utilization may also differ from forecasts because they depend on competing treatment or disposal options, and changes in environmental or water‑handling regulations.
As a result, Transmissive may fail to achieve targeted returns or require additional unplanned capital, which could lead to impairments of invested capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
We are exposed to the risk that discharges of treated water and treatment‑related waste, including those made in compliance with permitted limits, may have unforeseen adverse environmental effects.
Material failures to properly treat, handle or transport produced water or discharge treated water, including leaks, spills or non‑compliance with discharge permits and performance standards, could risk contaminating surface waters, groundwater or navigable waters or damage natural resources.
Such material failures could also trigger enforcement actions, require remediation or corrective measures, lead to operational restrictions or permit suspension or revocation, harm our reputation or result in third‑party claims for personal injury, property damage and other losses, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Negative public opinion or adverse perceptions of Transmissive’s operations or reputation could materially affect our business, results of operations, or prospects over time.
Negative sentiment may arise from unfavorable portrayals of produced water, water treatment operations or discharge locations by the media, special interest groups, political leaders, stakeholders, or other parties, including organized opposition to specific projects or the energy industry in general.
Potential impacts of such sentiment include operational delays or interruptions, legal or regulatory challenges, blockades, increased regulatory oversight, reduced public or governmental support, and the delay, challenge, or revocation of regulatory approvals, permits, or licenses, each of which may increase costs or cause cost overruns.
industries, which itself is influenced by a range of conditions.
Our Credit Facility may limit our operating flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our business.
The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to grant liens, incur debt, make investments, effect certain mergers, dispose of assets, make certain payments, pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock, change the nature of our business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain burdensome agreements, enter into swap agreements and enter into sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to customary exceptions.
We therefore may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of the required lenders and administrative agent under the Credit Facility or terminate the Credit Facility.
Our inability to engage in such actions could limit our operating flexibility and prohibit us from taking certain actions that might be beneficial to our business.
Additionally, we are required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 and a consolidated total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.50 to 1.0.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are initially unsecured, with a springing senior security interest in substantially all of the equity securities of our subsidiaries in the event our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.0.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to comply with these financial covenants or pay the principal and interest on any debt we incur under the Credit Facility.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that future working capital, borrowings or equity financing will be available to repay or refinance any such debt.
Any inability to make scheduled payments or comply with the covenants in our Credit Facility could result in the acceleration of the obligations thereunder and could adversely affect our business.
The events of default under the Credit Facility include, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, defaults under the related loan documents, material misrepresentations, cross defaults with certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgment defaults, certain events related to plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, invalidity of the Credit Facility or the related loan documents and change in control events.
If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Facility may be entitled to terminate the commitments and letter of credit extensions, accelerate any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, require us to post cash collateral with respect to any letters of credit and exercise any additional rights and remedies under the Credit Facility.
If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all.
We may make minority investments, engage in joint ventures or make other strategic alliances with third parties that subject us to risks and uncertainties outside of our control.
As part of our business strategy, from time to time, we may make minority investments in the equity securities of companies, engage in joint ventures or make other strategic alliances with third parties that we do not control.
For example, in December 2025, we made a minority investment of $50.0 million in Bolt pursuant to a strategic agreement to develop and enable large scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across our land.
In connection with our investment, we received an equity interest, warrants, and a right of first refusal to supply water to Bolt-affiliated projects and related infrastructure.
We may contribute land and receive additional equity that may or may not increase in value or be liquid.
Minority investments inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, thereby potentially increasing the financial, legal, operational and/or compliance risks associated with the minority investment.
To the extent we hold only a minority equity interest in a company, we may lack affirmative control rights, which may diminish our ability to influence the company’s affairs in a manner intended to enhance the value of our investment in the company.

We face direct and indirect supply chain risks that may adversely affect our business.
Our business could be negatively affected by supply shortages and/or price increases driven by the increased costs of materials and logistics as a result of macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical conflicts, general inflationary pressures, labor shortages, part or equipment availability, manufacturing capacity, tariffs, trade disputes and barriers, natural disasters or pandemics and the effects of climate change.
Supply shortages and/or price increases could lead to a reduction in revenues and an increase in our operating costs, which would have a material impact on our business segments and earnings, cash flow and financial condition.
Supply chain issues may disrupt the operations and development activities of operators on our land, upon whom a significant portion of our revenue relies, which could negatively affect our revenues from oil and gas royalties, easements and
our water offerings.
Supply chain issues could also lead to an increase in TPWR’s operating costs and disrupt its water sourcing and treatment operations, which could further negatively affect our revenues from our water offerings.
TPWR has adapted lead times for ordering parts and equipment to mitigate supply chain issues in the past and will use its best efforts to adapt to additional supply chain issues in the future, but given the uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors and geopolitical situation, supply chain issues may negatively affect our business operations in the future.

MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to financial statements included in Part II, Item [removed: 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.][added: 8.]
This section generally discusses the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] compared to the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
For a discussion of the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] compared to the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] refer to Part II, Item 7.
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.*][added: 2024.*]
Average [added: West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”)] oil prices for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] were [removed: relatively flat] [added: down approximately 15%] compared to average [added: WTI] oil prices during the same period last year.
Average [added: Henry Hub] natural gas prices during [removed: 2024 decreased] [added: 2025 increased approximately 61%] compared to average prior year natural gas prices.
Although our revenues are directly and indirectly impacted by [removed: changes in] oil and natural gas prices, we believe our royalty interests (which require no capital expenditures or operating expense burden from us for well development), strong balance sheet, and liquidity position will help us navigate through potential commodity price volatility.
Exploration and production (“E&P”) companies active in the Permian [removed: have] generally [removed: increased] [added: decreased] their drilling and development activity in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] compared to recent prior year activity [removed: levels.][added: levels in response to lower oil prices.]
[removed: Per] [added: Despite relatively lower activity, Permian production, per] the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), [removed: Permian production] averaged approximately [removed: 6.3] [added: 6.5] million barrels [added: of oil] per day during [removed: 2024, which represents the highest annual production ever.][added: 2025.]
The metrics below show selected benchmark oil and natural gas prices and approximate activity levels in the Permian Basin for the years ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023:][added: 2024:]

*(1) Commonly used definitions in the oil and gas [removed: industry provided in the table above are defined as follows: WTI Cushing] [added: industry: “WTI Cushing”] represents West Texas Intermediate.
[removed: Bbl] [added: “Bbl”] represents one barrel of 42 U.S. gallons of [removed: oil.][added: crude oil, condensate or NGLs.]
[removed: Mmbtu] [added: “Mmbtu”] represents one million British thermal units, a measurement used for natural gas.
[removed: DUCs] [added: “DUCs”] represent drilled but uncompleted wells.
[removed: US] [added: U.S.] weekly horizontal rig counts per Baker Hughes United States Rotary Rig Count for horizontal rigs.
While average oil prices for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] were [removed: generally flat] [added: lower] compared to the same period in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] Henry Hub and Waha Hub natural gas prices for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024 declined] [added: 2025 increased] compared to the same period last year.
E&P companies [removed: generally] [added: broadly] have continued to deploy capital [removed: at a measured pace as] [added: towards] drilling and development activities [removed: across] [added: in] the Permian Basin [removed: have remained strong overall.][added: at a measured pace.]
Although average rig counts during the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] were lower compared to the same period last year, increased drilling and completion efficiencies have allowed [removed: operators] [added: operators, in aggregate,] to [removed: maintain robust levels of well development.][added: grow production.]
Accordingly, these decisions made by others [removed: affect not only] [added: affect, both directly and indirectly,] our [removed: share of production volumes] [added: oil] and [added: gas royalties,] produced water [removed: disposal volumes, but also directly impact our surface-related income and] [added: royalties,] water [removed: sales.][added: sales, and other surface-related income.]
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash flows generated from [added: operations and] our [removed: operations.][added: Credit Facility.]
Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for [added: acquisitions,] capital expenditures related to our Water Services and Operations segment (the extent and timing of which are under our control), working [removed: capital] [added: capital,] and general corporate needs.
We continuously review our [added: levels of] liquidity and capital resources.
Should this occur, we could [added: draw on our Credit Facility or] seek alternative sources of funding.
Above this target, we will seek to deploy the majority of our free cash flow towards [added: returning capital to our stockholders in the form of special] dividends [removed: and] [added: and/or] share repurchases.
[added: As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $144.8 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to] support our business, to pay [removed: dividends] [added: regular dividends,] subject to the discretion of our Board, [added: to, subject] to [added: market conditions,] repurchase shares of our Common [removed: Stock subject to market conditions,] [added: Stock,] for potential acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
We believe that cash from [removed: operations, together with] [added: operations and] our cash and cash equivalents [removed: balances,] [added: balance together with our Credit Facility,] will be sufficient to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs [added: and allow] for [added: opportunistic transactions for] at least the next 12 months.
*Return of Capital to [removed: Shareholders*][added: Stockholders*]
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid total dividends [removed: to our stockholders] of $347.3 [removed: million,] [added: million] consisting of cumulative regular cash dividends of [removed: $5.11] [added: $1.70] per share and a special dividend of [removed: $10.00] [added: $3.33] per share.
*Acquisition [added: and Investment] Activity*
We completed the following asset acquisitions and [removed: business combination] [added: investment] during [removed: 2024:][added: 2025:]
[removed: *•*Acquired mineral interests across 7,490] [added: - In November 2025, we acquired 17,306] NRA located primarily in the Midland Basin in Martin, [removed: Midland] [added: Howard, Midland,] and other counties [removed: in Texas and New Mexico] for [removed: cash consideration] [added: an aggregate purchase price] of [removed: $275.2] [added: $450.7] million, net of post-closing [removed: adjustments.][added: adjustments, in an all-cash transaction.]

of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, ambiguity around tariffs implemented by and towards the United States has created incremental global economic uncertainty, which, in part, contributed to relatively weaker oil prices in 2025.
Global and domestic natural gas markets benefited in 2025 from improved supply-demand balances, including tailwinds from expanded liquefied natural gas capacity and improved industrial and power demand, among other factors.
As the largest oil producing shale basin in the world, the Permian depends on large-scale water solutions related to well development and produced water disposal.
For oil and gas well development, often hundreds of thousands of barrels of water are required per well completion.
To enhance productivity and drilling economics, oil and gas operators have generally expanded the amount of water per well completion and reduced the time to complete a well.
These factors have led to intensifying demands for completion water delivery and assurance, which generally benefits completion water providers with larger size and scale.
We believe we have a competitive advantage in this market with our significant surface footprint and a large network of owned and operated water wells, storage ponds, recycling assets, and pipelines that can source and deliver water to customers throughout the Permian.
Permian produced water volumes have grown commensurately with overall Permian oil production.
Though some produced water is reused and recycled for completion activities, the majority of Permian produced water is injected into subsurface pore space via saltwater disposal wells.
Saltwater disposal availability varies throughout the Permian depending on regulations, permitted injected rates, and the availability of pore space and infrastructure.
Our extensive land holdings contain and are adjacent to extensive pore space, and, through various commercial agreements, we allow produced water operators to transport and dispose of produced water across our surface footprint.
Furthermore, our previously mentioned desalination project could potentially provide an additional solution for produced water by reducing the amount of water required to be injected subsurface.

As of December 31, 2025, we had no debt, draws on our Credit Facility, and no off-balance sheet arrangements that require us to provide funding, guarantees, or other forms of financial support.
- In March 2025, we acquired 177 NRA located primarily in the Midland Basin for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million, net of post-closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction.
- In May 2025, we acquired 787 acres of land in Reeves County, Texas for an aggregate purchase price, inclusive of closing costs, of $4.5 million in an all-cash transaction.
- In September 2025, we acquired 8,147 acres of land in Martin, County Texas for an aggregate purchase price, inclusive of closing costs, of $31.4 million in an all-cash transaction.
- In December 2025, we made a minority investment of $50.0 million in Bolt pursuant to a strategic agreement to develop and enable large scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across our land.
See Part I, Item 1.
*Revolving Credit Facility*
On October 23, 2025, we entered into a Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, and the ability to request potential increases in the commitments of the lenders of up to an additional $250.0 million; provided that any such request for an increase must be in a minimum amount of $50.0 million or, if less, the amount remaining available for all such increases.
The Credit Facility and all borrowings thereunder will mature on October 23, 2029.
The borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum (i) for each SOFR loan, equal to term SOFR for such interest period plus (x) 2.25% if our consolidated total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 or (y) 2.50% if our consolidated total leverage ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0 or (ii) for each base rate loan, equal to the base rate plus (x) 1.25% if our consolidated total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 or (y) 1.50% if our consolidated total
leverage ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0.
The base rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% of 1%, (b) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate, and (c) term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%.
We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.
We intend to draw on the facility primarily for capital expenditures, ongoing working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be unsecured with a springing security interest in substantially all equity securities of our subsidiaries in the event our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.0.
The Credit Facility also contains customary financial and other affirmative and negative covenants.
The events of default under the Credit Facility include, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, defaults under the related loan documents, material misrepresentations, cross defaults with certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgment defaults, certain events related to plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, invalidity of the Credit Facility or the related loan documents and change in control events.
The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments and letter of credit extensions, the acceleration of our obligations under the Credit Facility, the requirement to post cash collateral with respect to letters of credit and the exercise of the Lenders of all rights and remedies under the Credit Facility.
No draws had been made under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025, and the Credit Facility remained undrawn as of the date of this Annual Report.
In addition, we repurchased $8.4 million of our Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2025.
With the Permian Basin generating over 20 million barrels of produced water per day, this technology provides an attractive and critical alternative to subsurface injection.
We have begun construction of our test facility, which will have an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels of water per day, with an estimated service date in the first half of 2026.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, employees surrendered $14.8 million and $1.6 million in shares, respectively, to the Company to settle tax withholdings related to stock vesting.
Debt issuance cost in connection with the Credit Facility was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We had no draws or repayments on the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Results of Operations
Global and domestic natural gas markets have experienced volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure and logistical constraints, weather, and geopolitics, among other factors.
The EIA currently estimates that Permian oil production for December 2024 was approximately 6.5 million barrels per day.

We had no debt, credit facilities, or any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $369.8 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to
In addition, we repurchased $29.2 million of our Common Stock (including share repurchases not settled at the end of the period).
- Acquired mineral interests across 4,106 NRA located in Culberson County, Texas for a purchase price of $120.3 million, net of post-closing adjustments.
- Acquired 4,120 surface acres in Martin County, Texas along with other surface-related tangible and intangible assets in a business combination for total consideration of $45.0 million.
In May 2024, we announced our progress towards developing new solutions for produced water in the Permian Basin.
See the discussion in Part I, Item 1, “Business — Business Segments” for additional information.
| | | | 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
*Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:*
This increase was principally due to the $38.5 million increase in water sales, the $19.9 million increase in produced water royalties and the $15.9 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue in 2024 over 2023.
Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.” Net income of $454.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 11.9% higher than 2023, principally as a result of the increase in total revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses, as discussed below.
*Consolidated Expenses:*
Salaries and related employee expenses were $53.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $43.4 million for 2023.
The number of employees increased from 100 at December 31, 2023 to 111 as of December 31, 2024, which, when coupled with market compensation adjustments effective at the beginning of 2024, resulted in increased salary and related employee expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023.
*Water service-related expenses*.
The increase in water service-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was principally related to a 34.3% increase in water sales over 2023, primarily as a result of increased water volumes.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was principally related to a reduction in legal and professional fees associated with stockholder matters that occurred during 2023.
The increase in other income, net was primarily related to increased interest income earned on our cash balances during 2024.
Higher interest yields during the year ended December 31, 2024 contributed to the increase in interest income.
See further discussion at Note 8, “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
*Total income tax expense.* Total income tax expense was $124.9 million and $111.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The increase in income tax expense was primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased consolidated revenues.
Land and Resource Management segment revenues increased $8.7 million, or 2.0%, to $440.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023.
Oil and gas royalty revenue was $373.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $357.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 4.5%.
Oil and gas royalties for the year ended December 31, 2023 included an $8.7 million recovery with an operator with respect to unpaid oil and gas royalties for older production periods.
Excluding the impact of the $8.7 million recovery on 2023 revenue, oil and gas royalties for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $24.6 million due to increased production volumes over 2023.

*(2) The metrics and dollars provided for the year ended December 31, 2023* *exclude the impact of the $8.7 million* recovery *of oil and gas discussed above.*
exploration and production, renewable energy, and agricultural operations.
*Net income.* Net income for the Land and Resource Management segment increased to $314.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $306.7 million for 2023.
The increase was principally due to a $15.9 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue and a $13.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased depletion expense and salaries and related employee expenses.
Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations — Consolidated.”
Water Services and Operations segment revenues increased 32.9%, to $265.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $199.5 million for 2023.
The increase in Water Services and Operations segment revenues was principally due to increases in water sales revenue and produced water royalties, which are discussed below.
As discussed in “Market Conditions” and “Permian Basin Activity” above, our segment revenues are directly influenced by development decisions made by our customers and the overall activity level in the Permian Basin.
Accordingly, our segment revenues and sales volumes, as further discussed below, will fluctuate from period to period based upon those decisions and activity levels.

Revenue from mineral lease bonuses represent upfront payments received from operators to secure the right to explore and develop oil and gas interests.
Lease bonus payments are not contingent on future production and are recognized in full when received.
Proved properties refer only to proved developed producing (“PDP”) reserves, as the Company does not control the timing or development of drilling activities.

Equity Investment in Bolt Data & Energy, Inc.
In December 2025, the Company made a minority equity investment in Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. (“Bolt”), a privately held company focused on the development of large-scale data center and energy infrastructure projects.
The Company invested $50.0 million in exchange for shares of Series A preferred stock of Bolt, resulting in a minority ownership interest.
In connection with the investment, the Company has the right to appoint one member to Bolt’s seven-member board of directors.
The Company does not have any veto, consent, or other substantive participating rights over Bolt’s operating or financial policies and is not involved in Bolt’s operations or management.
The Company also received contingent warrant rights exercisable upon the achievement of specified operational milestones with respect to power drawn by Bolt for use on land contributed by TPL, as well as a right of first refusal to provide water to Bolt-affiliated projects and related infrastructure.
As of December 31, 2025, no value was attributed to the warrant rights, as progress toward the underlying operational milestones had not commenced.
The Company’s agreement with Bolt provides that the Company is obligated to contribute certain surface acreage in exchange for additional shares of preferred stock, subject to the Company and Bolt’s mutual agreement on the location and valuation of such acreage.
Bolt is not obligated to develop projects on the Company’s land and may pursue development activities on non-Company surface acreage.
Any future land contributions will be evaluated as separate transactions upon closing.
The Company evaluated its investment in Bolt and determined that Bolt is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its planned large-scale infrastructure activities without additional financial support.
Although Bolt is a VIE, the Company is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Bolt’s economic performance, including development, financing, and operational decision-making.
The Company’s exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Bolt is limited to the carrying value of its investment, as the Company has no obligation to provide additional financial support.
Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Bolt.
The Company next evaluated its investment to determine if equity method accounting would apply.
In making this determination, the Company assessed whether the investment in preferred equity met the criteria to be considered in-substance common stock.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For example, in December 2025, we invested $50.0 million in a strategic agreement with a data and energy infrastructure company.
See further discussion below
*Revolving Credit Facility*
On October 23, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and certain other lenders (collectively the “Lenders”), which provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million.
The Credit Facility includes the ability to request potential increases in the commitments of the Lenders of up to an additional $250.0 million; provided that any such request for an increase must be in a minimum amount of $50.0 million or, if less, the remaining available capacity for such increases.
The Credit Facility and all borrowings thereunder will mature on October 23, 2029.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will generally bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.25% to 2.50% based on our consolidated total leverage ratio.
The Credit Facility is initially unsecured, with a springing security interest in substantially all equity securities of our subsidiaries in the event our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.0.
The Credit Facility also contains customary financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
No draws were made under the Credit Facility during 2025, and the Credit Facility remained undrawn as of the date of this Annual Report.
On December 22, 2025, we effected a three-for-one stock split of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and trading began on a stock split adjusted basis on December 23, 2025.
We completed the following asset acquisitions during 2025:
- In March 2025, we acquired 177 NRA located primarily in the Midland Basin for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million, net of post-closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction.
- In May 2025, we acquired 787 acres of land in Reeves County, Texas for an aggregate purchase price, inclusive of closing costs, of $4.5 million in an all-cash transaction.
- In September 2025, we acquired 8,147 acres of land in Martin County, Texas for an aggregate purchase price, inclusive of closing costs, of $31.4 million in an all-cash transaction.
- In November 2025, we acquired 17,306 NRA located primarily in the Midland Basin in Martin, Howard, Midland, and other counties for an aggregate purchase price of $450.7 million, net of post-closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction.
*Investment Activity During 2025*
In December 2025, we made a minority investment of $50.0 million in Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. (“Bolt”) pursuant to a strategic agreement to develop and enable large scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across our land.
Bolt is a data energy infrastructure company co-founded by Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman of Google, who also serves as Bolt’s Chairman.
As part of the agreement, Bolt raised $150.0 million of capital inclusive of our $50.0 million investment.
In connection with our investment, we received an equity interest, warrants, and a right of first refusal to supply water to Bolt-affiliated projects and related infrastructure.
Additionally, the terms of the agreement provide an opportunity for the Company to contribute land to Bolt in exchange for additional Bolt equity subject to mutual agreement by both parties.
Bolt is currently pursuing commercial partnerships and anchor customers to develop large-scale data centers on our land.
Many of the renewals will reset over the next several years.
Additionally, as discussed above under “Recent Developments,” we recently entered into a strategic agreement with Bolt to develop and enable large scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across our land.

sustainability, and technology, among others, that can leverage our existing legacy surface and royalty assets.
On March 26, 2024, we effected a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend of two additional shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for every share of Common Stock outstanding to stockholders of record as of March 18, 2024.
In August 2024, we acquired 4,120 surface acres in Martin, County, Texas along with other surface-related tangible and intangible assets from an unaffiliated seller, for total cash consideration of $45.0 million, of which $20.4 million represented assets acquired for the Land and Resource Management segment with the remaining $24.6 million of assets acquired for the Water Services and Operations segment.
In addition to surface acres, we acquired water sourcing assets and other contractual rights including a contractual right to a 7.5% royalty on revenue generated from a nonhazardous oilfield solids waste disposal site.
These assets generate revenue streams across both segments including water sales, produced water royalties, and other surface related (“SLEM”) revenue and provide additional commercial growth opportunities for us to expand water sourcing and produced water opportunities to both new and existing customers.
See further discussion of this acquisition in Note 3, “Assets Acquired in a Business Combination” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8.
Also in August 2024, we acquired mineral interests across 4,106 NRA located in Culberson County, Texas for a purchase price of $120.3 million, net of post-closing adjustments.
The acquisition was completed in conjunction with Brigham Royalties Fund I Holdco, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Brigham Royalties, LLC (“Brigham Royalties”) in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated seller.
See further discussion of this acquisition in Note 4, “Oil and Gas Royalty Interests” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8.
“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The acquired mineral interests overlap with existing TPL royalty acreage.
In October 2024, we acquired 7,490 NRA located primarily in the Midland Basin in Martin, Midland and other counties in Texas and New Mexico, with over 80% of the acquired interests adjacent to or overlapping existing TPL surface and royalty acreage for cash consideration of $275.2 million, net of post-closing adjustments.

also subject to decisions made by the owners and operators of the oil and gas wells to which our royalty interests relate as to investments in and production from those wells.
See the discussion of acquisition activity above for additional information.
We do not anticipate these agreements will have a significant impact on our revenues in the short-term but do have the potential to contribute meaningfully to our revenues in the longer term.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our share of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid (“NGL”) production was 26.8 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day compared to 23.5 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2023.
The average realized price was $39.87 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 6.4% compared to the average realized price of $42.58 per Boe for the same period of 2023.
candidates for further development by operators towards ultimately being placed into production.
We have identified 506 permitted gross wells (an estimated 6.4 net wells) and 793 DUC wells (an estimated 13.2 net wells) subject to our royalty interest as of December 31, 2024.
The number of DUC wells is determined using uniform drilling spacing units with pooled interests for all wells awaiting completion.
*Activity for the year ended December 31, 2024*
The increase in water sales during 2024 compared to 2023 is principally due to a 31.0% increase in water sales volumes over the same period.

We have successfully tested a pilot program in our research and development lab.
Construction has begun on a sub-scale produced water desalination test facility with an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels of produced water per day, and we anticipate construction to be completed during 2025.

Oil and Gas Royalty Interests
Our oil and gas royalty interests are located solely in the United States in the Permian Basin.
Our oil and gas royalty interests are comprised of royalty interests assigned through the Declaration of Trust (the “Assigned Royalty Interests”) and royalty interests acquired.
Our Assigned Royalty Interests as of December 31, 2025 represent the remaining oil and gas royalty interests assigned to us through the Declaration of Trust in 1888 as further discussed in Item 1.
“Business.” The fair market value of the Assigned Royalty Interests was not determined in 1888 when the Trust was formed and, therefore, no value is assigned to these interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Royalty interests acquired represent royalty interests in proved and unproved oil and gas properties.

- Align executives’ financial interests [removed: more closely] with [added: the interests of our] stockholders;
We believe that our [removed: program] [added: program, including awards under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”),] has an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and that the balance of compensation elements discourages excessive risk-taking.
We have maintained the key [removed: aspects] [added: objectives] of our compensation program for [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
TPL’s [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] executive compensation program is designed to recruit and retain an executive team and to reward performance in achieving TPL’s goal of creating stockholder value.
The [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] executive compensation program consists principally of a [added: base] salary, an annual cash incentive (sometimes referred to as awards under a non-equity incentive plan), and long-term share-based compensation as discussed below:
[removed: These plans are] [added: Our qualified defined contribution plan is] designed to assist employees in planning for their retirement.
The Pension Plan was frozen as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2024,] and no future benefit accruals [removed: will be] [added: were] made.
[added: See further discussion of the termination of the] Pension Plan in Note [removed: 8,] [added: 9,] “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
*Consideration of [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Say on Pay Vote*
At our November [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] annual meeting of stockholders, the majority of our stockholders voted to approve our executive compensation program, with approximately [removed: 88%] [added: 87%] approval among votes cast.
The Compensation Committee viewed this as support of its approach and philosophy and as a basis for continuing with the program described in this CD&A for [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
[removed: The] [added: For 2025, the] Compensation Committee [removed: continues to evaluate] [added: approved a change in metrics for] the [removed: use of] [added: short-term incentive program from] Adjusted EBITDA margin [removed: as a short-term incentive metric.][added: to Adjusted EBITDA.]
*Role of the [added: Compensation] Committee*
In establishing the Named Executive Officers’ compensation for [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the [added: chair of the] Compensation Committee [removed: Chair] and the full Compensation Committee met multiple times, including with management and/or the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, to review market practices, evaluate potential alternatives, determine appropriate metrics and goals, and review strategic goals and performance.
Our [removed: CEO,] [added: Chief Executive Officer,] Mr. Glover, provided recommendations for compensation for his direct reports.
Additionally, the management team provided the Compensation Committee with financial performance information to assist with the assessment of company and individual performance in determining the bonuses for [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
*Determining the [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Compensation Program*
As described below, the Compensation Committee asked Meridian to review market data as part of the process of establishing [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] compensation for our Named Executive Officers.

*Key Objectives of 2025 Compensation Program Design*
As of December 31, 2025, the Pension Plan was terminated.
In 2025, we engaged ICR, LLC (“ICR”), a strategic communications and advisory firm, to conduct a perception study survey of our stockholders to consider their perspectives on various issues, including strategy, capital allocation, governance and overall performance.
Respondents generally acknowledged recent changes such as the declassification of the Board and stockholders’ ability to call a special meeting as positives.
Certain respondents also stated that the Company’s conversion to a C-corporation has been a success.
Respondents did not provide specific feedback on or suggest any changes to our compensation program.
Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews performance evaluations of the Named Executive Officers and other officers and a self-evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer.
The table below lists the companies included in our Reference Group for purposes of determining compensation for 2025:

The Compensation Committee increased the target bonus as a percentage of base salary for Mr. Steddum and Mr. Dobbs for 2025 to better align with market data from the Reference Group.
Accordingly, for 2025, annual payouts under the short-term incentive were based on the following metrics and weightings:

In 2024, we reached out to stockholders representing 48% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and held meetings with stockholders representing 32% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (measured as of September 3, 2024) to discuss their perspectives on various issues, including executive compensation.
Independent members of our Board participated in and led each of these meetings with stockholders.
The participating members of our Board were joined in these meetings by one or more of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, and Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations.
Following these meetings, the Compensation Committee met with senior management to discuss what we learned during this comprehensive outreach process.
In general, we learned that institutional stockholders were not seeking significant changes to our compensation program.
Many expressed support for our overall compensation philosophy and instead suggested modest changes, including enhancing our proxy statement disclosures and increasing the proportion of performance-based equity that we award over the long term.
Some investors expressed concern about the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used for our Adjusted EBITDA margin calculation (calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues), such as the inclusion of interest income and other non-operating or non-recurring items (e.g., legal expenses).
The Compensation Committee includes interest income in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because (i) this approach aligns with TPL’s capital allocation strategy, (ii) the incentive goals established for Adjusted EBITDA margin include an assumed level of interest income and, therefore, its removal would have minimal impact and (iii) TPL is relatively unique in generating a significant amount of net interest income due to its lack of debt and, therefore, interest income is of heightened significance.
With respect to legal expenses, after due consideration, the Compensation Committee determined to not adjust for TPL’s excess legal expenses when calculating Adjusted EBITDA because its adjustment in both the goal and actual results achieved under the 2024 annual incentive plan would have increased the annual cash bonuses earned by the management team even if interest income had been removed from the calculation.
We have added new disclosures to our proxy statement intended to provide greater transparency into the functioning of our executive compensation program.
Additionally, we intend to evolve our compensation program over time, and we may make further changes to the structure of our compensation program based on the needs of the Company.
The closing price of TPL’s Common Stock increased 111% from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024;

*Bolt Investment*
As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, in December 2025, we made a minority investment of $50.0 million in Bolt pursuant to a strategic agreement to develop and enable large scale data center campuses and supporting infrastructure across our land.
Prior to the closing of our investment in Bolt, we were informed that Horizon, a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation, intended to make a significant equity investment in Bolt through various affiliated funds.
Murray Stahl, a director of the Company, is also the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Horizon.
The Company and the Audit Committee reviewed Horizon’s proposed investment in Bolt and, along with Horizon, undertook steps to alleviate any potential conflicts of interest that could arise from such investment.
Following our investment, Horizon invested approximately $47.5 million in Bolt.
As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on August 27, 2024, the Company announced the Mineral Asset Acquisitions.
The Mineral Interest Acquisitions were completed in conjunction with Brigham Royalties Fund I Holdco, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Brigham Royalties.
Robert Roosa, a member of the Board, is a partner in, and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of, Brigham Royalties.
Brigham Royalties originally identified the opportunity and, because of the size and concentration, invited the Company to participate.
Following the execution of the purchase and sale agreements (totaling 7,416 net royalty acres) related to the Mineral Interest Acquisitions, a 55.4% interest in each was assigned to a subsidiary of the Company.
Each party paid a pro-rata share of the purchase price and closing costs.
The Company directly paid an aggregate of approximately $1.1 million in commissions to six Brigham Royalties employees, which was equal to the bonuses those employees would have received with respect to the Mineral Interest Acquisitions had they been completed by Brigham Royalties.
Those fees were significantly less than commissions the Company would have paid to other third parties for similar services.
The Company performed its own diligence and valuation, and the Mineral Interest Acquisitions were approved by the Audit Committee and full Board with Mr. Roosa abstaining.
The Company did not pay any fees or commissions to Brigham Royalties or Mr. Roosa in connection with, and the Company and Brigham Royalties have no further relationship with respect to, the Mineral Interest Acquisitions.
Other than as discussed above, there have been no transactions between the Company and a related person that would be reportable under SEC rules or regulations.
