Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
PermRock Royalty Trust (NYSE: PRT) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 22, 2017, to own a perpetual 80% net profits interest (NPI) carved out of certain oil and natural gas leaseholds in the Permian Basin of West Texas. These underlying properties are located in the highly prolific Permian Basin and are operated by T2S Permian Acquisition II LLC (T2S), which acquired the interests from Boaz Energy II, LLC in early 2025. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle; it does not conduct active business operations, has no employees, and is administered by Argent Trust Company as Trustee. Its primary function is to collect monthly net proceeds from the NPI and distribute them to unitholders after deducting administrative expenses and maintaining cash reserves.

Critical. As a passive royalty trust, PermRock has no operational control. It relies entirely on T2S to operate the wells, manage capital expenditures, and provide the financial and reserve data necessary for SEC reporting and monthly distributions.
Terms: T2S operates the Underlying Properties burdened by the 80% Net Profits Interest (NPI) conveyed to the trust.
