- Kimbell Royalty Partners LP (KRP) reported strong cash flow and continued debt paydown for the second quarter of 2024.
- The company maintained a robust rig count with 91 rigs actively drilling, representing a 16% market share of all land rigs in the continental United States.
- KRP achieved a record low cash G&A expense per BOE, reflecting operational discipline and positive operating leverage.
- The company announced a $0.42 distribution per common unit, focusing on returning value to unitholders.
- KRP maintained a conservative balance sheet with a net debt to trailing 12-month consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 0.9 times, ensuring financial flexibility.
- Despite strong production, KRP did not revise its guidance for 2024, which some analysts viewed as overly conservative.
- The company faces challenges in acquiring gas assets, as there is limited availability in the market despite depressed gas prices.
- KRP's M&A activity has been relatively quiet, with fewer transactions of interest from an asset quality standpoint.
- The common units outstanding increased significantly, partly due to the conversion of private equity funds, which may dilute existing shareholders.
