Dallas, Texas, March 4, 2015 – Southwest Bank, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.44414 per unit, payable on March 30, 2015, to unit holders of record on March 16, 2015.

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for December 2014 and the gas production for November 2014. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 50,515 barrels of oil and 545,313 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $85.44 per barrel of oil and $5.24 per Mcf of gas.
The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous month’s:
| Net to Trust Sales | ||||||||||||||||
| Volumes | Average Price | |||||||||||||||
| Oil (bbls) | Gas (Mcf) | Oil (per bbl) | Gas (per Mcf) | |||||||||||||
Current Month | 50,515 | 545,313 | $ | 85.44 | $ | 5.24 | ||||||||||
Prior Month | 32,957 | 747,796 | $ | 73.77 | $ | 3.19 | ||||||||||
Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.
Due to the timing of the end of the month of February and the transition to new systems, approximately $697,186 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of March in addition to normal receipts during March. Since the close of business in February and prior to this press release, approximately $112,000 revenue has been received.
The 2014 tax information packets are expected to begin mailing directly to unitholders this week. A copy of Sabine’s 2014 tax information booklet is posted on Sabine’s website. In addition to the tax booklet the Sabine website also offers two simple calculators for computing the income and expense amounts and the cost depletion. The calculators are updated with the 2014 tax information.
