1. Organization and BasisDescription of PresentationBusiness Segments
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 880,000 surface acres of land in West Texas, with the majority of our ownership 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 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) in the western part of Texas.
TPL’s income is derived primarily from oil, gas and produced water royalties, sales of water and land, easements and commercial leases of the land.
On January 11, 2021, we completed our reorganization from a business trust, organized under a Declaration of Trust dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), to a corporation (the “Corporate Reorganization”) and changed our name from Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”) to Texas Pacific Land Corporation. See further discussion of the Corporate Reorganization and its impact on our equity structure in Note 7, “Changes10, “Changes in Equity.” Any references in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the Company, TPL, our, we, or us with respect to periods prior to January 11, 2021 will beare in reference to the Trust, and references to periods on or after that date and thereafter will beare in reference to Texas Pacific Land Corporation or TPL Corporation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of 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 assetassets 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 CashShare-Based Compensation
The following table providesCompany utilizes the closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the fair value of service-vesting awards, which for the Company includes restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance stock units (“PSUs”) with a reconciliation of cash, cashperformance condition. For PSUs with a market condition, grant date fair value is determined using an advanced option-pricing model. Unvested awards are entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents which are accrued and restricted cash reported withindistributed to award recipients at the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum totime such awards vest. Dividends are forfeitable if the total of the same such amounts shownrelated award is forfeited. For RSAs, RSUs and PSUs with performance conditions, forfeitures are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):period in which they occur. For PSU awards with market conditions, forfeitures are only recognized if the award recipient does not render the required service during the measurement period.

CertainShare-based compensation expense for RSUs and RSAs is recognized in the financial informationstatements over the awards’ vesting periods using the graded-vesting method. Share-based compensation expense for PSU awards with performance conditions is recognized ratably over the measurement period at such time as the awards are probable and estimable. Share-based compensation expense for PSU awards with market conditions is recognized ratably over the measurement period whether the market condition is satisfied or not if the service for the award is rendered. Share-based compensation is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of income and total comprehensive income as a component of salaries and related employee expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

6. Share-Based Compensation
Incentive Plan for Employees
As of September 30, 2022, the Company has issued RSAs, RSUs and PSUs under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to certain employees. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 75,000 shares and, as of September 30, 2022, 63,664 shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Plan for future grants. Currently, all RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan are entitled to receive dividends (for RSAs and RSUs, which are accrued and distributed to award recipients upon vesting) or have dividend equivalent rights. Dividends and dividend equivalent rights are subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards to which they relate and are forfeitable if the related awards are
forfeited. The Company utilizes the closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the fair value of RSAs, RSUs and PSUs with a performance condition. For PSUs with a market condition, the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine grant date fair value per share.
The following table summarizes activity related to RSAs and RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

On February 11, 2022, the Company granted PSUs to certain employees. 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”) for the three-year period from January 2022 to January 2025 compared to the 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. As the RTSR PSU is a market-based award, its 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 award. Expected volatility in the model was estimated based on the volatility of historical stock prices over a period matching the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yield constant maturities for a term matching the expected term of the award.
Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors

As of September 30, 2022, 9,301shares of Common Stock remained available under the 2021 Directors Plan for future grants. Currently, all RSAs granted under the 2021 Directors Plan are entitled to receive dividends, which are accrued and distributed to award recipients upon vesting. Dividends are subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards to which they relate and
are forfeitable if the related awards are forfeited. The Company utilizes the closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the fair value of the RSAs.

The Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into law and includes a number of tax-related provisions, including (i) a 15-percent book minimum tax (“corporate AMT”) on adjusted financial statement income once the three year average of adjusted financial statement income is greater than $1.0 billion, (ii) certain clean energy tax incentives in the form of tax credits, and (iii) a one-percent excise tax on certain corporate stock buybacks (effective beginning January 1, 2023). The Company is evaluating the IRA and does not currently anticipate that the IRA will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
7.8. 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 restricted stock and other unvested 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 EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except number of shares and per share data):

Corporate Reorganization
On January 11, 2021, TPL completed its Corporate Reorganization, officially changing its name to Texas Pacific Land Corporation. To implement the Corporate Reorganization, the Trust and TPL Corporation entered into agreements and undertook and caused to be undertaken a series of transactions to effect the transfer to TPL Corporation of all of the Trust’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Corporate Reorganization. The agreements entered into include a contribution agreement between the Trust and TPL Corporation. The Corporate Reorganization is a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Prior to the market opening on January 11, 2021, the Trust distributed all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01,Common Stock of TPL Corporation (the “Common Stock”) to holders of sub-share certificates (“Sub-shares”), par value of $0.03-1/3, of the Trust, on a pro rata, one-for-one, basis in accordance with their interests in the Trust (the “Distribution”). As a result of the Distribution, TPL Corporation is now an independent public company anda corporation with its Common Stock is listed under the symbol “TPL” on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Corporate Reorganization only affected our equity structure in that Sub-shares were replaced with shares of Common Stock and net proceeds from all sources were replaced with retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.Repurchase Program
On March 11, 2022, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to an aggregate of $100 million of shares of our outstanding Common Stock during 2022. In connection with the stock repurchase program, the Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Trading Plan”) that generally permits the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under securities laws. Stock repurchases under the Trading Plan began April 18, 2022. The stock repurchase program expires on December 31, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $58.4 million (including share repurchases not yet settled).
8.11. Business Segment Reporting
During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.
The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing our approximately 880,000 surface acres of land and our oil and gas royalty interests in West Texas, 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.

9.12. Oil and Gas Producing Activities
We measure our share of oil and gas produced in barrels of equivalencyoil equivalent (“BOEs”Boe”). One BOEBoe equals one barrel of crude oil, condensate, NGLs (natural gas liquids) or approximately 6,000 cubic feet of gas. As of March 31,For three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and March 31, 2020, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 16.423.4 and 16.519.5 thousand BOEsBoe per day, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, our share of oil and gas produced was approximately 21.3 and 17.5 thousand Boe per day, respectively. Reserves related to our royalty interests are not presented because the information is unavailable.
There are a number of oil and gas wells that have been drilled but are not yet completed (“DUC”) where we have a royalty interest. The number of DUC wells is determined using uniform drilling spacing units with pooled interests for all wells awaiting completion. We have identified 541548 and 531452 DUC wells subject to our royalty interest as of March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

Overview
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 one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 880,000 surface acres of land comprised of a number of separate tracts, located in 19 counties in West Texas, with the majority of our ownership 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 and a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, in the western part of Texas, as well as approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th)., all located in the western part of Texas.
We completed our reorganization from a business trust to a corporation (the “Corporate Reorganization”) on January 11, 2021, changing our name from Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”) to Texas Pacific Land Corporation. Any references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the Company, TPL, our, we, or us with respect to periods prior to January 11, 2021 will beare in reference to the Trust, and references to periods on or after that date and thereafter will beare in reference to Texas Pacific Land Corporation or TPL Corporation. For further information on the Corporate Reorganization, see Note 7, “Changes10, “Changes in Equity” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our business activity is generated from surface and royalty interest ownership allow steady revenue generation through the entire value chain of oil and gas development. While we are not an oil and gas producer, we benefit from various revenue sources throughout the life cycle of a well. During the initial development phase where infrastructure for oil and gas development is constructed, we receive fixed fee payments for use of our land and revenue for sales of materials (caliche) used in the construction of the infrastructure. During the drilling and completion phase, we generate revenue for providing sourced water and/or treated produced water in addition to fixed fee payments for use of our land. During the production phase, we receive revenue from our oil and gas royalty interests and also revenues related to saltwater disposal on our land. In addition, we generate revenue from pipeline, power line and utility easements, commercial leases, material sales and seismic and temporary permits principally related to a variety of land uses, including midstream infrastructure projects and processing facilities as hydrocarbons are processed and transported to market.
A significant portion of our revenues is generated from our business activityWest Texas, primarily in the Permian Basin andBasin. Our revenues are derived primarily from oil, gas and produced water royalties, sales of water and land, easements and commercial leases. Due to the nature of our operations and concentration of our ownership in one geographic location, our revenue isand net income are subject to substantial fluctuations from quarter to quarter and year to year. The demandIn addition to fluctuations in response to changes in the market price for oil and gas, our financial results are also subject to decisions by the owners and operators of not only the oil and gas wells to which our oil and gas royalty interests relate, but also to other owners and operators in the Permian Basin as it relates to our other revenue streams, principally water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related revenue.
For a further overview of our business and business segments, see Item 1. “Business — General” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
for, and sale price of, particular tracts of land are influenced by many factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, the rate of development in nearby areas and the suitability of the particular tract for commercial uses prevalent in western Texas.
As our oil and gas revenue is derived from our oil and gas royalty interests, in addition to fluctuating in response to the market prices for oil and gas, our oil and gas royalty revenues are 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.
Our revenue from easements is primarily generated from pipelines transporting oil, gas and related hydrocarbons, power line and utility easements and subsurface wellbore easements. The majority of our easements have a thirty-plus year term but subsequently renew every ten years with an additional payment. Commercial lease revenue is derived primarily from processing, storage and compression facilities and roads.
Texas Pacific Water Resources LLC (“TPWR”), a single member Texas limited liability company owned by the Company, provides full-service water offerings to operators in the Permian Basin. These services include, but are not limited to, water sourcing, produced-water gathering/treatment, infrastructure development, disposal solutions, water tracking, analytics and well testing services. TPWR's revenue streams principally consist of revenue generated from sales of sourced and treated water as well as revenues from produced water royalties. We are committed to sustainable water development. Our significant surface ownership in the Permian Basin provides TPWR with a unique opportunity to provide multiple full-service water offerings to operators.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we invested approximately $2.7 million in TPWR projects to maintain and/or enhance water sourcing assets.

COVID-19 PandemicGlobal Oil and Natural Gas Market Impact of Increased Supply by OPEC+in 2022
The uncertainty caused by the global spread of COVID-19, together with the increased supply ofAverage oil and gas prices during the third quarter of 2022 were meaningfully higher compared to average prices during most of the previous quarterly periods over the last decade. In 2021, oil prices were supported by member nationsoil supply cuts by OPEC+. Oil demand in 2021 broadly trended higher throughout the year, which also helped support strengthening oil prices. Beginning in March 2022, Russia’s incursion into Ukraine created volatility in global supply of OPEC+, lednumerous commodities, including oil. In response, the US has implemented various measures to declines inhelp mitigate potential supply shortfalls and high oil prices, most notably by releasing millions of barrels of crude oil prices and a reduction in global demand for oil and gas beginning in the first quarter of 2020. These events ledfrom its Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In October 2022, OPEC+ pledged to further reduce their collective production curtailments and/or conservation of capitalquota by the owners and operators of the oil and gas wells to which the Company’s royalty interests relate. These events negatively affected the Company’s business and operations for 2020.two million barrels per day. The lingering impactconfluence of these major events continueshas contributed to reduce the demand forfluctuations in oil prices during 2022. Global and domestic natural gas markets have also experienced volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure and logistical constraints, and geopolitical issues, among other factors. US natural gas prices at Henry Hub, location in Erath, Louisiana, have strengthened in 2021 and 2022 due in part to liquified natural gas prices (“LNG”) exports and local demand for power, heating, and industrial activity. In 2022, the Waha Hub located in Pecos County, Texas, at times experienced significant negative price differentials relative to Henry Hub due in part to growing local Permian natural gas production gas and limited natural gas pipeline takeaway capacity. Inflation remains elevated and continues to significantly impact current labor costs and supplies. Changes in macro-economic conditions, including rising interest rates and lower global economic activity, could result in additional shifts in demand and supply in future periods. Although our revenues are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in oil prices, we expect that these eventsbelieve our royalty interests (which require no capital expenditures or operating expense burden from us for well development), strong balance sheet, and liquidity position will continue to affect our financial results in 2021.help us navigate through potential oil price volatility.
In response to these events, we implemented certain cost reduction measures during 2020 and continue to identify additional cost reduction opportunities in 2021, thus reducing our operating expenses. Our immediate focus was negotiating price reductions and discounts with certain vendors and reducing our usage of independent contract service providers. As part of our longer-term water business strategy, we have invested in electrifying our water sourcing infrastructure. The use of electricity instead of fuel-powered generators to source and transport water translates into reduced fuel, equipment rental and repairs and maintenance costs. This strategy not only reduces our current expenses but affords us the ability to continue cost savings in the future. Additionally, our investment in automation has allowed us to curtail our reliance on independent contract service providers to support our field operations.COVID-19 Pandemic

Despite the uncertainty caused by these events, we believe our longevity in the industry, strong financial position and our capital resource allocation discipline have equipped us with the tools necessary to continue navigating through the uncertainty.
Permian Basin Activity
The Permian Basin is one of the oldest and most well-known hydrocarbon-producing areas and currently accounts for a substantial portion of oil and gas production in the United States, covering approximately 86,000 square miles andin 52 counties across southeastern New Mexico and western Texas. AllExploration and production (“E&P”) companies active in the Permian have generally increased their drilling and development activity to-date in 2022 compared to recent prior year activity levels. Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), Permian production is currently in excess of our assets are located in West Texas.five million barrels per day, which is higher than the average daily production of any year prior to 2022. Despite record Permian production volumes, E&P companies continue to experience challenges with labor and supply chains related to drilling and completion activities, which could negatively impact overall production.
With our ownership concentration in the Permian Basin, our revenues are directly impacted by oil and gas pricing and drilling activity in the Permian Basin. Below are metrics for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 and 2020:2021:

As we are a significant landowner in the Permian Basin and not an oil and gas producer, our revenue is affected by the development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own royalty interests and land. Accordingly, these decisions made by others affect not only our production and produced water disposal volumes but also directly impact our surface-related income and water sales.

While Winter Storm Uri directly impacted production and produced water disposal volumes, the effects on our results were tempered by increased oil and gas prices during the first quarter of 2021.Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are revenuescash and cash flows generated from oil, gas and produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and water and land sales.our operations. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for capital expenditures related to our Water Services and Operations segment (the extent and timing of which are under our control), working capital and general corporate needs.
We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change and our revenue wasrevenues were to decline significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Should this occur, we could seek alternative sources of funding, including potential future borrowing under a credit facility or other financing options.funding. We have no debt or credit facilities, nor any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021 and have no immediate plans to enter into such arrangements.September 30, 2022.
As of March 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $310.7$446.6 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to support the growth of our business, particularly the growth of TPWR, to repurchase our Common Stockcommon stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) subject to market conditions, to pay dividends subject to the discretion of theour board of directors and for
general corporate purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $58.4 million of our Common Stock, and we paid $224.1 million in dividends to our stockholders. We believe that cash from operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents balances, will be sufficient to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs for the foreseeable future.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we invested approximately $11.8 million in Texas Pacific Water Resources LLC (“TPWR”) projects to maintain and/or enhance water sourcing assets, of which $6.4 million related to electrifying our water sourcing infrastructure.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $314.6 million and $174.5 million, respectively. Our cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily from oil, gas and produced water royalties, water and land sales, and easements and other surface-related income. Cash flow used in operations generally consists of operating expenses associated with our revenue streams, general and administrative expenses and income taxes.
The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, was primarily related to increased prices and volumes of oil and gas production and was partially offset by increased tax payments.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $14.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in investing activities are primarily related to capital expenditures related to our water services and operations segment and acquisitions of royalty interests.
Capital expenditures increased $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Acquisitions of royalty interests increased approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period 2021.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $281.7 million and $74.8 million, respectively. Our cash flows used in financing primarily consist of activities which return capital to our stockholders such as payment of dividends and repurchases of our Common Stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid total dividends of $224.1 million consisting of cumulative paid cash dividends of $9.00 per share and special dividends of $20.00 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we paid total dividends of $64.0 million consisting of cumulative cash dividends of $8.25 per share. We repurchased $58.4 million and $11.2 million of our Common Stock (including share repurchases not yet settled) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:
Total revenues increased $67.4 million, or 54.5%, to $191.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $123.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was principally due to the $51.2 million increase in oil and gas revenue and the combined increase of $8.9 million in water sales and produced water royalties over the same period. Net income of $129.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 54.9% higher than the comparable period of 2021. The increase in net income was driven by the 57.0% increase in operating income resulting from the 54.5% increase in total revenues during the same time period. Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.”
Consolidated Expenses:
Salaries and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.5 million for the comparable period of 2021. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.9 million. As noted in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Share-Based Compensation,” the Company’s accounting method election to recognize share-based compensation expense using the graded-vesting method results in an acceleration of stock compensation expense in the grant year for awards with vesting periods in excess of one year. Prior to December 2021, the Company did not have an equity incentive plan and did not pay compensation in equity.
Water service-related expenses. Water service-related expenses were $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2021. Certain types of water-related expenses, including,
but not limited to, transfer, treatment, electricity, etc., will vary period to period as our customers’ needs and requirements change. Transfer and treatment expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 principally as a result of heightened sales activity during the same period. Additionally, the Company’s ongoing initiative to electrify its water sourcing infrastructure resulted in increased electricity expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Fuel expenses decreased as a result of lower utilization of fuel for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, but the reduction was tempered by the increase in the price of fuel over the same period.
Ad valorem taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an accrual of approximately $2.8 million for ad valorem taxes. Prior to January 1, 2022, the ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by certain third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. Since the completion of our Corporate Reorganization on January 11, 2021, we have received notice from one such third partythat they no longer intend to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. While we continue to believe the obligation to pay these ad valorem taxes should belong to the third party, we are accruing an estimate of such taxes and intend to pay the taxes when they become due in order to protect the royalty interests from any potential tax liens for nonpayment of future ad valorem taxes. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party following payment of such taxes, we are unable to determine the likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, have not recorded a loss recovery receivable as of September 30, 2022.
Other income, net. Other income, net was $1.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest income earned on our cash balances has increased as interest yields have risen during 2022.
Total income tax expense. Total income tax expense was $34.1 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased revenues from oil and gas royalties and water sales.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Consolidated Revenues and Net Income:
Total revenues increased $210.9 million, or 69.4%, to $514.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $303.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was principally due to the $168.9 million increase in oil and gas revenue and the combined increase of $30.1 million in water sales and produced water royalties over the same period. Net income of $346.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 81.5% higher than the comparable period of 2021, principally due to the 85.2% increase in operating income. Individual revenue line items are discussed below under “Segment Results of Operations.”
Consolidated Expenses:
Salaries and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $31.8 million for the comparable period of 2021. Salaries and related employee expenses during 2021 included $6.7 million of severance costs, while there were no severance costs during the same period of 2022. This decrease in expense for 2022 was partially offset by $5.0 million of stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to employee stock awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan. As noted in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Share-Based Compensation,” the Company’s accounting method election to recognize share-based compensation expense using the graded-vesting method results in an acceleration of stock compensation expense in the grant year for awards with vesting periods in excess of one year. Prior to December 2021, the Company did not have an equity incentive plan and did not pay compensation in equity.
Water service related expenses. Water service-related expenses were $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $10.5 million for the same period of 2021. Certain types of water-related expenses, including, but not limited to, transfer, treatment, electricity, etc., will vary period to period as our customers’ needs and requirements change. Transfer and treatment expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 principally as a result of heightened sales activity during the same period. Additionally, the Company’s ongoing initiative to electrify its water sourcing infrastructure resulted in increased electricity expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Fuel and equipment rental expenses decreased as a result of lower utilization of fuel and rental of equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, but the reduction was tempered by the increase in the price of fuel over the same period.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million to $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $8.5 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in general and
administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was principally related to increased charitable contributions, travel expenses, and board of director fees and expenses, primarily resulting from our contribution of approximately $0.3 million to the Permian Basin Area Foundation in support of the initiative to renovate Hogan Park in Midland, Texas, travel returning to pre-pandemic levels, and the expansion of the Company’s board of directors from nine members to ten members.
Ad valorem taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an accrual of approximately $6.9 million for ad valorem taxes. Prior to January 1, 2022, the ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by certain third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. Since the completion of our Corporate Reorganization on January 11, 2021, we have received notice from one such third partythat they no longer intend to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. While we continue to believe the obligation to pay these ad valorem taxes should belong to the third party, we are accruing an estimate of such taxes and intend to pay the taxes when they become due in order to protect the royalty interests from any potential tax liens for nonpayment of future ad valorem taxes. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party following payment of such taxes, we are unable to determine the likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, have not recorded a loss recovery receivable as of September 30, 2022.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization is principally related to our investment in water service-related assets placed in service in 2022 and, to a lesser extent, increased depletion related to our oil and gas royalty interests.
Other income, net. Other income, net was $2.6 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest income earned on our cash balances has increased as interest yields have risen during 2022.
Total income tax expense. Total income tax expense was $94.1 million and $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily related to increased operating income resulting from increased revenues from oil and gas royalties, water sales, and produced water royalties.
Segment Results of Operations
We operate our business in two reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.
We analyze financial results for eachevaluate the performance of our reportable segments.operating segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. The reportable segments presented are consistent with our reportable segments discussed in Note 8.11, “Business Segment Reporting” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We monitor our reporting segments based upon revenue and net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Land and Resource Management
Land and Resource Management segment revenues increased $1.1$60.4 million, or 2.0%69.6%, to $57.8$147.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 as compared with $56.7 million forto the comparable period of 2020.2021. The increase in Land and Resource Management segment revenues is principally due to an increase in gas royalty revenue, partially offset by decreases in easementsoil and other surface-related income and, to a lesser extent, oilgas royalty revenue, as discussed further below.
Oil and gas royalties. Oil and gas royalty revenue was $130.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $79.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 64.7%.

MBbls represents one thousand barrels of crude oil, condensate or NGLs. Mcf represents one thousand cubic feet of natural gas. MMcf represents one million cubic feet of natural gas. MBoe represents one thousand Boe. MBoe/d represents one thousand Boe per day.
Our share of crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes was 23.4 thousand Boe per day for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 19.5 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2021. The average realized prices were $94.03 per barrel of oil, $7.96 per Mcf of natural gas, and $35.51 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $63.42 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 37.7% per Boe compared to the total equivalent price of $46.07 per Boe for the same period of 2021.
Easements and other surface-related income.. Oil Easements and gas royalty revenueother surface-related income was $49.5$13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022, an increase of 80.8% compared to $42.4$7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Oil royaltySeptember 30, 2021. Easements and other surface-related income includes wellbore easements, pipeline easements, commercial leases, material sales, power line and utility easements, and temporary permits. The increase in easements and other surface-related income is principally related to increases of $2.2 million in wellbore easements, $1.3 million in pipeline easements, $1.1 million in material sales, and $1.1 million in commercial leases for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Easements and other surface-related income is dependent on development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own land and is, therefore, unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period. See “Market Conditions” above for additional discussion of development activity in the Permian Basin during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Land sales and other operating revenue was $34.2. Land sales and other operating revenue includes revenue generated from land sales and grazing leases. Land sales were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of 4.6% compared toSeptember 30, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 when oil royalty revenue was $35.9 million. This decrease in oil royalty revenue is principally due to a 10.6% decrease in crude oil production subject to our royalty interests, partially offset by a 6.7% increase in our average realizedSeptember 30, 2022, we sold approximately 122 acres of land for an aggregate sales price of approximately $3.1 million, or $25,100 per royalty barrel duringacre. There were no land sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared toSeptember 30, 2021.
Net income. Net income for the same period in 2020. Gas royalty revenueLand and Resource Management segment was $15.3$108.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of 136.8%September 30, 2022 compared to $65.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 when gasSeptember 30, 2021. As discussed above, segment revenues increased 69.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Segment expenses, including income tax expense, were $39.0 million and $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in segment expenses during 2022 was principally related to a $13.6 million
increase in income tax expense and a $2.8 million increase in ad valorem taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”
Water Services and Operations
Water Services and Operations segment revenues increased 19.0%, to $43.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with revenues of $36.9 million for the comparable period of 2021. The increase in Water Services and Operations segment revenues is due to increases in water sales and produced water royalty revenue. As discussed in “Market Conditions” 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.
Water sales. Water sales revenue was $6.5$24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 24.9% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021 when water sales revenue was $19.6 million. ThisThe increase in gas royalty revenuewater sales is principally due to a 121.1%10.3% increase in our average realized pricethe number of barrels of sourced and treated water sold for gas production and, to a lesser extent, a 7.1% increase in gas production subject to our royalty interests during the three months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021.
Produced water royalties. Produced water royalties are royalties received from the transfer or disposal of produced water on our land. Produced water royalties are contractual and not paid as a matter of right. We do not operate any saltwater disposal wells. Produced water royalties were $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2020.2021. This increase is principally due to increased produced water volumes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.
Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $8.2$0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of 38.4%September 30, 2022 compared to $13.3$2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2021. The decrease in easements and other surface-related income relates to a decrease in temporary permits for sourced water lines for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Net income. Net income for the Water Services and Operations segment increased $3.1 million to $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. As discussed above, segment revenues increased 19.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Segment expenses, including income tax expense, were $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The overall increase in segment expenses during 2022 is principally related to a $3.3 million increase in operating expenses and a $0.6 million increase in income tax expense as a result of increased segment operating income during the same time period. Expenses are discussed further above under “Results of Operations - Consolidated.”

The average realized prices were $98.62 per barrel of oil, $6.66 per Mcf of natural gas, and $36.81 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $63.93 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 55.9% over a total equivalent price of $41.01 per Boe for the same period of 2021.
Easements and other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $34.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 44.5% compared to $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Easements and other surface-related income includes pipeline easements, wellbore easements, material sales, commercial leases, power line and utility easements, commercial leases, material sales and seismic and temporary permits. The decreaseincrease in easements and other surface-related income is principally related to a decreaseincreases of $4.9$4.4 million in wellbore easements, $4.0 million in pipeline easement income, to $1.2and $2.1 million in material sales for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021 from $6.1 million forSeptember 30, 2022 compared to the threenine months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2021. The amount of income derived from pipeline easements is a function of the term of the easement, the size of the easement and the number of easements entered into for any given period. Easements and other surface-related income is dependent on development decisions made by companies that operate in the areas where we own land and is therefore, unpredictable and may vary significantly from period to period. See “Market Conditions” above for additional discussion of decreased development activity in the Permian Basin during the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 relative to the same time period of 2020.2021.
Land sales and other operating revenue. Land sales and other operating revenue includes revenue generated from land sales and grazing leases. Land sales were $3.3 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 129 acres of land for an aggregate sales price of approximately $3.3 million, or $25,300 per acre. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold approximately 30 acres of land for an aggregate sales price of approximately $0.7 million, or approximately $25,000 per acre.

The increase in net income is principally due to the $1.1$182.1 million increase in segment revenues, partially offset by a slightan increase in segment expenses, including income tax expense. The increase in segment revenues is principally due to anthe $168.9 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue, partially offset by decreases in easements and other surface-related income and oil royalty revenues, as discussed above. Total segment expenses were $18.3$108.5 million and $17.6$61.6 million for the three nine
months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Water Services and Operations
Water Services and Operations segment revenues decreased 34.0%increased 31.3% to $26.4$120.8 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 as compared with $39.9$92.0 million for the comparable period of 2020.2021. The decreaseincrease in Water Services and Operations segment revenues is principally due to a decreaseincreases in water sales revenue and produced water royalties, which isare discussed below. As discussed in “Market Conditions” 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.
Water sales. Water sales revenue was $13.0increased $20.5 million, or 45.7% to $65.5 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $14.0 million or 52.0%, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2020 when water sales revenue was $27.0 million. This decrease was principally due to a 40.7% decrease in the number of barrels of sourced and treated water sold and, to a lesser extent, a 20.4% decrease in the average sales price per barrel of water for the three months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in 2020.water sales is principally due to an increase of approximately 20.2% in sourced and treated water sales volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Produced water royalties. Produced water royalties are royalties received from the transportationtransfer or disposal of produced water on our land. Produced water royalties are contractual and not paid as a matter of right. We do not operate any salt water disposal wells. Produced water royalties were $12.5$52.7 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 compared to $43.1 million compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is principally due to increased produced water volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.
Easements and 2020.other surface-related income. Easements and other surface-related income was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in easements and other surface-related income relates to a decrease in temporary permits for sourced water lines for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Net income. Net income for the Water Services and Operations segment was $10.5$61.2 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 compared to $18.3$40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.same period in 2021. As discussed above, segment revenues decreased 34.0%increased 31.3% for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2020.2021. Total segment expenses, including income tax expense, were $15.8$59.6 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 as compared to $21.6$51.3 million for the threenine months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2021. The overall decreaseincrease in segment expenses during 20212022 is principally related to decreased water service-related expenses, primarily equipment rental, fuel and repairs and maintenance anda $5.4 million increase in income tax expense.expense related to increased segment operating income during the same time period. Segment operating expenses increased $2.9 million during 2022 compared to 2021. Expenses are discussed further belowabove under “Other Financial Data“Results of Operations — Consolidated.”
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
In addition to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items, including, but not limited to: employee share-based compensation, conversion costs related to our Corporate Reorganization, and severance costs. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that both are useful supplements to net income in analyzing operating performance.
Other Financial Data — Consolidated
SalariesThe following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and related employee expenses. Salaries and related employee expenses were $10.0 millionAdjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 compared to $10.6 million for the comparable period of 2020. The decrease in salaries and related employee expenses during 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020 is principally due to decreased usage of contract labor by our Water Services and Operations segment.(in thousands):
Water service-related expenses. Water service-related expenses were $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $6.8 million for the comparable period of 2020. The decrease in expenses during 2021 is primarily related to decreased equipment rental, fuel and repairs and maintenance expenses related to the 40.7% decrease in the number of barrels of sourced and treated water sold and ongoing cost saving measures as discussed above in “Market Conditions.” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $3.0 million for the same period of 2020. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 is primarily related to decreases associated with independent contract service providers and travel expenses, partially offset by increased board of director fees resulting from our Corporate Reorganization in January 2021.
Legal and professional expenses. Legal and professional fees were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.4 million for the comparable period of 2020. Legal and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2021 principally related to the completion of our Corporate Reorganization effective January 11, 2021. Legal and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2020 principally related to the conversion exploration committee and planning and preparation for the Corporate Reorganization.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization is principally related to our investment in water service-related assets placed in service in 2021 and 2020 and, to a lesser extent, increased depletion related to our oil and gas royalty interests.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For a full discussion of our accounting policies please refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include our accrual of oil and gas royalties. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on the terms of underlying agreements, historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable based on the circumstances, the results of which form our management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 23, 2022.
