1. Organization and Description of Business

Organization

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (which, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, may be referred to as “TPL,” the “Company,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 874,000 surface acres of land, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 16,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”) for a collective total of approximately 207,000 NRA, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin.

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

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Such adjustments are of a normal nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), and these interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our 2024 Annual Report. The results for the interim periods shown in this Quarterly Report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Operating segments are based on components of the Company that engage in business activity that earn revenues and incur expenses and (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available. The Company operates two operating segments which represent our reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. The segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within our businesses. The measure of profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess performance and allocated resources to our reportable segments is net income. Our chief executive officer is the CODM and uses net income to evaluate income generated by each segment in his determination of allocating resources to each segment. See Note 14, “Business Segment Reporting” for further information regarding our segments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

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

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

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

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that correspond to the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents$543,930$369,835
Tax like-kind exchange escrow—1,546
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows$543,930$371,381

3. Assets Acquired in a Business Combination

On August 20, 2024, we acquired 4,120 acres of land along with other surface-related tangible and intangible assets (collectively referred to as the “Acquired Assets”) from an unaffiliated seller for total consideration of $45.0 million, in an all-cash transaction. There were no liabilities assumed by the Company in this transaction. The Acquired Assets generate revenue streams across water sales, produced water royalties, and SLEM, and provide additional commercial growth opportunities for the Company to expand water sourcing and produced water opportunities to both new and existing customers. The Acquired Assets are located in the Midland Basin.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method and, therefore, the Acquired Assets were recorded based on their fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the date of acquisition and are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances. In determining the fair values of the Acquired Assets, management made estimates, judgements and assumptions. Inputs used to determine fair values of assets included internally-developed models, risk-adjusted discount rates by asset class, publicly available data on land sales comparisons and other cost analysis. These fair values are considered Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. There was no goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the allocation of fair value by asset class (in thousands):

Real estate acquired$12,100
Property, plant and equipment17,200
Intangible assets15,700
Total consideration and fair value$45,000

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenues and operating expenses from the acquisition were approximately $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenues and operating expenses from the acquisition were approximately $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense, included in operating expenses, was $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The revenues and expenses from the acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

8. Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants share-based compensation to employees under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and to its non-employee directors under the 2021 Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2021 Directors Plan” and, together with the 2021 Plan, the “Plans”). As of June 30, 2025, share-based compensation granted under the Plans included restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan vest in one-third annual increments over three years, and PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan cliff vest at the end of three years if the applicable performance metrics are achieved (as discussed further below). RSAs granted under the 2021 Directors Plan vest in full on the date of grant.

Incentive Plan for Employees

The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 225,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of June 30, 2025, 122,070 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Plan for future grants.

The following table summarizes activity related to RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Number of RSUsWeighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Nonvested at beginning of period23,212$509
Granted (1)6,5041,372
Vested (2)(10,457)482
Cancelled and forfeited(32)1,372
Nonvested at end of period19,227$814

*(1)*RSUs vest in one-third annual increments over a three-year period.

*(2)*Of the 10,457 RSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2025, 4,236 RSUs were surrendered by employees to the Company upon vesting to settle tax withholding obligations.

The following table summarizes activity related to PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Number of Target PSUsWeighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Nonvested at beginning of period21,078$573
Granted (1)3,8481,644
Vested (2)(7,182)452
Cancelled and forfeited——
Nonvested at end of period17,744$854

*(1)*The PSUs were granted on February 15, 2025 and include 1,924 RTSR PSUs (defined below) (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $1,915 per share and 1,924 FCF PSUs (defined below) (based on target) with a grant date fair value of $1,372 per share. If the maximum performance levels described in the PSU agreements are achieved, the actual number of shares that will ultimately vest under the PSU agreements will exceed target PSUs by 100% (i.e., a collective 3,848 additional shares would be issued).

*(2)*Vested PSUs are based on the original number of PSUs granted (i.e., target units). The actual number of shares delivered upon vesting of PSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled 14,364 shares, of which 6,250 shares were surrendered by employees to the Company upon vesting to settle tax withholding obligations.

Each PSU has a value equal to one share of Common Stock. The PSUs will vest three years after grant if certain performance metrics are met, as follows: 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”) over the applicable three-year measurement period compared to the SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (“XOP Index”), and 50% of the PSUs may be earned based on the cumulative free cash flow per share (“FCF”) over the three-year vesting period. Because the RTSR PSUs are market-based awards, their grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model to determine the expected potential ranking of the Company against the XOP Index (i.e., the probability of satisfying the market condition defined in the awards). Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the awards. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the awards. The inputs for the Monte Carlo simulation model are designated as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Directors Plan is 30,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of June 30, 2025, 23,031 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Directors Plan for future grants. On January 1, 2025, the Company granted 1,188 RSAs with a grant date fair value of $1,106 per share, which vested in full on the grant date.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes our share-based compensation expense by line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

The Company recognized a tax benefit of $1.7 million and $1.3 million related to share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, there was $19.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under existing share-based plans expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

9. Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

*(1)*During the three months ended June 30, 2024, miscellaneous income (expense), net includes $1.9 million of proceeds from a settlement with a title company regarding a defect in title to property acquired in a prior year.

10. Income Taxes

The calculation of our effective tax rate was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except percentages):

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2025202420252024
Income before income taxes$148,991$146,442$303,385$292,426
Income tax expense$32,851$31,853$66,593$63,420
Effective tax rate22.0%21.8%21.9%21.7%

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

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act including, but not limited to, federal bonus depreciation and deductions for domestic research and development expenditures. The Company is currently evaluating the OBBBA; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

11. Earnings Per Share

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

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data):

Restricted stock, if any, is included in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, but omitted from the basic EPS calculation until the shares of restricted stock vest. Certain stock awards granted are not included in the dilutive securities in the table above as they were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There were no anti-dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of June 30, 2025, other than as described below.

Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. After the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we received notice from a third party that it no longer intended to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. In order to protect the historical royalty interests from any potential tax liens for non-payment of ad valorem taxes, we have accrued and/or paid such ad valorem taxes since January 1, 2022. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party for such taxes, we are unable to estimate the amount and/or likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of June 30, 2025.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2022, our Board approved a stock repurchase program, which became effective January 1, 2023, to purchase up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our outstanding Common Stock. The Company opportunistically repurchases stock under the stock repurchase program with funds generated by cash from operations. The stock repurchase program may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by the board of directors (the “Board”) at any time. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made through a combination of open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions, and/or other transactions at the Company’s discretion, including under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan implemented by the Company, and are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining amounts authorized under the approved stock repurchase program was $178.5 million.

We did not repurchase any shares of our Common Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased $16.6 million shares of our Common Stock.

14. Business Segment Reporting

During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. We eliminate inter-segment revenues and expenses, if any, upon consolidation. There were no inter-segment revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing our approximately 874,000 surface acres of land and our approximately 207,000 NRA of oil and gas royalty interests, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment consist primarily of royalties from oil and gas, revenues from easements and commercial leases, and land and material sales.

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

The following tables present segment financial results for Land and Resource Management (“LRM”) and Water Service and Operations (“WSO”) and the reconciliation to consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

15. Oil and Gas Producing Activities

Our Share of Oil and Gas Produced

We measure our share of oil and gas produced in barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”). One Boe equals one barrel of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (“NGL”) or approximately 6,000 cubic feet of gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 33.2 thousand and 24.9 thousand Boe per day, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 32.2 thousand and 24.9 thousand Boe per day, respectively.

Capitalized Oil and Natural Gas Costs

Aggregate capitalized costs related to oil and natural gas production activities with applicable accumulated depletion are as follows (in thousands):

The Company owns approximately 207,000 NRA as of June 30, 2025. Of our total NRA, approximately 191,000 was acquired in 1888 and was recorded with no value. The remaining approximately 16,000 NRA have been acquired over recent years and are included in royalty interests acquired on the consolidated balance sheet. See additional discussion in Note 4, “Oil and Gas Royalty Interests.”
