GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Adjusted EBITDA:    Represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense, as further adjusted for other non-cash charges and other charges that are not reflective of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview of Our Results of Operations—Adjusted EBITDA.”

Barrel or bbl   Stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in this report in reference to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

BOE:    Barrels of oil equivalent, with six thousand cubic feet of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil.

BOE/d:    BOE per day.

British Thermal Unit or Btu:    The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one-degree Fahrenheit.

Completion:    The process of treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil, or in the case of a dry hole, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.

Condensate:  Liquid hydrocarbons associated with the production that is primarily natural gas.

Crude oil:    Liquid hydrocarbons retrieved from geological structures underground to be refined into fuel sources.

Developed acreage: Acreage allocated or assignable to productive wells.  

Differential:  An adjustment to the price of oil and natural gas from an established spot market price to reflect differences in the quality and/or location of oil or natural gas.  

GAAP:    Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Gross acres or gross wells:    The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which an overriding, royalty or mineral interest is owned.

MBbls:  Thousand barrels of crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

MBOE:    One thousand barrels of crude oil equivalent, determined using a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids.

Mcf:    Thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

Mineral interests:  The interests in ownership of the resource and mineral rights, giving an owner the right to profit from the extracted resources.  

MMBtu:    Million British Thermal Units.

MMcf:  Million cubic feet of natural gas.

Net royalty acres: Gross acreage multiplied by the average royalty interest.  

NGLs:    Natural gas liquids.

Prospect:    A specific geographic area which, based on supporting geological, geophysical or other data and preliminary economic analysis using reasonably anticipated prices and costs, is deemed to have potential for the discovery of commercial hydrocarbons.

Proved reserves:    The estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

3


 

PUD:  Proved undeveloped, used to characterize reserves.

Reserves:    The estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to the market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves are not assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Reservoir:    A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible natural gas and/or oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is separate from other reservoirs.

Royalty interest:    An interest that gives an owner the right to receive a portion of the resources or revenues without having to carry any costs of development.

SEC:    U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Undeveloped acreage: Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company contributed cash to Falcon Minerals Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“OpCo”), in exchange for (a) a number of OpCo Common Units representing limited partnership interests in OpCo (the “OpCo Common Units”) equal to the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), outstanding as of the Closing Date and (b) a number of OpCo warrants exercisable for OpCo Common Units equal to the number of the Company’s warrants outstanding as of the Closing Date. The Company controls OpCo through Falcon Minerals GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the sole general partner of OpCo (“OpCo GP”).

On the Closing Date, Falcon completed the acquisition of the Equity Interests and in return the Contributors received (i) $400 million of cash and (ii) 40 million OpCo Common Units. The Company also issued to the Contributors 40 million shares of non-economic Class C common stock of the Company, which entitles each holder to one vote per share. The OpCo Common Units are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the Contributors. Upon the redemption by any Contributor of OpCo Common Units for Class A Common Stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by such Contributor will be cancelled.  

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from “Osprey Energy Acquisition Corp.” to “Falcon Minerals Corporation.” The Company is now structured as an “Up-C,” meaning that substantially all the assets of the Company are held by OpCo, and the Company’s only operating asset is its equity interest in OpCo. Each OpCo Common Unit, together with one share of Class C Common Stock, is exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder pursuant to the terms of the Company’s and OpCo’s organizational documents, subject to certain restrictions.

The Company’s assets, via its controlling interest in OpCo, consist of royalty interests, mineral interests, non-participating royalty interests and overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs (collectively, “Royalties”), underlying approximately 256,000 gross unit acres that are concentrated in what the Company believes is the “core-of-the-core” of liquids-rich condensate region of the Eagle Ford Share in Karnes, DeWitt and Gonzales Counties, Texas. The company owns additional assets of approximately 75,000 gross unit acres in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia that is prospective for Marcellus Shale.

These royalties entitle the holder to a portion of the production of oil and natural gas from the underlying acreage at the sales price received by the operator, net of any applicable post-production expenses and taxes. The holder of these interests has no obligation to fund exploration and development costs, lease operating expenses or pay for capital expenditures such as plugging and abandonment costs at the beginning and end of a well’s productive life.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other period. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form10-K that the Company filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s management determined that a portion of the dividends to shareholders had been improperly deducted from Additional Paid In Capital (“APIC”) rather than deducted from Retained Earnings until Retained Earnings had been exhausted.  As a result, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, the dividends to shareholders have been correctly classified reducing Retained Earnings rather than APIC, and the total balances of Retained Earnings and APIC have been corrected at March 31, 2019 as follows:

The reclassification does not change, in any period, Total Shareholders’ Equity. The Company evaluated the materiality of these misstatements from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and has concluded the misstatements are not material to the prior periods.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent unrestricted cash on hand and include all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market funds. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from such investments.

Use of Estimates

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 assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods; and the quantities and values of proved oil, natural gas and NGLs reserves used in calculating depletion and assessing impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the quantities of proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves, related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, fair value of the Company’s warrants, estimates of current and deferred income taxes. While management believes these estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates and it is reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable balance results primarily from operators’ sales of oil and natural gas to their customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the contractual amounts and do not bear interest. The Company reserves for specific accounts receivables when it is probable that all or a part of an outstanding balance will not be collected.  The Company regularly reviews collectability and establishes or adjusts the allowance as necessary using the specific identification method.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered doubtful.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had not recorded any reserves for uncollectible amounts or deemed any amounts to be uncollectible.  

Royalty Interests in Oil and Natural Gas Properties 

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this method, costs to acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties are capitalized when incurred. Acquisitions of royalty interests of oil and natural gas properties are considered asset acquisitions and are recorded at cost.

10


 

Acquisition costs of proven royalty interests are amortized using the units of production method over the life of the property, which is estimated using proven reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on unproved properties, where there are no proven reserves, are not amortized. When the associated exploration stage interests are converted to proven reserves, the cost basis is amortized using the units of production methodology over the life of the property, using proven reserves. For purposes of amortization, interests in oil and natural gas properties are grouped in a reasonable aggregation of properties with common geological structural features or stratigraphic condition.  

We review and evaluate our royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Proved oil and gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a potential decline in the fair value of such properties below the carrying value, such as a downward revision of the reserve estimates or lower commodity prices. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected in connection with the properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amounts of the properties to determine if the carrying amounts are recoverable. If the carrying value of the properties is determined to not be recoverable based on the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the properties. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. There was no such impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Unproved properties are also assessed for impairment periodically on a depletable unit basis when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, at which point an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable value. The carrying value of unproved properties, including unleased mineral rights, is determined based on management’s assessment of fair value using factors similar to those previously noted for proved properties, as well as geographic and geologic data. There was no impairment of unproved properties for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Upon the sale of a complete depletable unit, the book value thereof, less proceeds or salvage value, is charged to income. Upon the sale or retirement of an individual well, or an aggregation of interests which make up less than a complete depletable unit, the proceeds are credited to accumulated DD&A, unless doing so would significantly alter the DD&A rate of the depletable unit, in which case a gain or loss would be recorded.  

Debt Issuance Costs

Other assets include capitalized financing costs of $2.2 million and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The costs are associated with the Company’s credit agreement and are being amortized over the term of the credit agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value measurements are derived using inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. GAAP establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This three-tier hierarchy classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair values. The classification within the hierarchy of an asset or liability is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). At each balance sheet reporting date, the Company categorizes its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value using this hierarchy.

The amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments (Level 1). Because the Credit Facility (as defined in “Note 5 – Debt – Falcon Credit Facility” below) has a market rate of interest, its carrying amount approximated fair value (Level 2).

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenues from royalty properties are recorded under the cash receipts approach as directly received from the remitters’ statement accompanying the revenue check. Since the revenue checks are generally received 30 to 90 days after the production month, the Company accrues for revenue earned but not received by estimating production volumes and product prices.  Revenues from lease bonus are recorded upon receipt. The lease bonus is separate from the lease itself and is recognized as revenue to the Company upon receipt of payment.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

11


 

The Company’s right to royalty income does not originate until production occurs and, therefore, is not considered to exist beyond each day’s production. Therefore, there are no remaining performance obligations under any of the Company’s royalty income contracts.

Contract balances

Under the Company’s royalty income contracts, it would have the right to receive royalty income from the producer once production has occurred, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s royalty income contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities.

Prior-period performance obligations

The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain oil, natural gas and NGLs sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of royalty income to be received based upon the Company’s interest. The Company records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for royalties in the quarter that payment is received from the producer. Identified differences between the Company’s revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material. The Company believes that the pricing provisions of its oil, natural gas and NGLs contracts are customary in the industry. To the extent actual volumes and prices of oil and natural gas sales are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the royalties related to expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and recorded.

Income Taxes

The Company under ASC 740 uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation awards are measured at fair value on the date of grant and are expensed, net of any actual forfeitures, over the required service period.  See “Note 7Share-Based Compensation” for additional information.  

Segment Reporting

The Company derives revenue from Royalties in oil and natural gas properties in North America. The Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been determined to be the CODM and allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information at the consolidated level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined by the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, as a result, its financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The main difference between previous GAAP and the new standard is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. As a result, the Company will have to recognize a liability representing its lease

12


 

payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach upon adoption of the new guidance on the effective date of January 1, 2020.  Please see Note 3Impact of ASC 842 Adoption for further details related to the Company’s adoption of this standard.  

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“ASU 2016-13”). This update affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. In November 2018, the FASB issued a further update to ASU 2016-13. This update clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not in scope of this topic, but rather the leasing standard. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance which amends certain aspects of accounting for income taxes. This amendment removes specific exceptions within existing GAAP related to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in interim periods, among other changes. It also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date, among other requirements. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the provisions of the amendment and has not determined the full impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3—Impact of ASC 842 Adoption

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective method.  The Company elected the package of practical expedients upon transition which will retain the lease classification for leases and any unamortized initial direct costs that existed prior to the adoption of this standard.

The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020.  ROU assets represent less than 1% of the Company’s total assets and lease liabilities represent less than 5% of the Company’s total liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and were not considered material to the Company.  The Company did not recognize a material cumulative adjustment to the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and did not have any material changes in the timing of expense recognition or the Company’s accounting policies.  The standard had no impact on the Company’s debt covenant compliance under existing agreements.  

This ASU requires the Company to identify its contractual arrangements that contain leases at the inception of such arrangements.  Specifically, the Company considered whether it can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset.  The Company’s leases are long-term operating leases with fixed payment terms and will terminate at various dates through February 2025. The Company’s ROU assets represent its right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and its operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments.  ROU operating assets and operating lease liabilities are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020.  

ROU assets are recognized at commencement date and consist of the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments less any lease incentives.  Operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term.  The Company uses the implicit rate, when readily determinable, or its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.    

The lease terms may include periods covered by options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option and periods covered by options to terminate the lease when it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.  Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  In the event that the Company’s assumptions and expectations change, it may have to revise its ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.  As of March 31, 2020 the weighted average remaining lease term is 3.9 years and the weighted average discount rate is 4.19%.  

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has ROU assets of $1.4 million recorded as Other Assets, $0.6 million of corresponding obligations recorded as Other Current Liabilities and $1.3 million of corresponding obligations recorded as Other Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Total operating lease costs were $0.1 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

As of March 31, 2020, the undiscounted cash flows for operating lease liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

Note 5—Debt

Falcon Credit Facility

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a credit facility with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $500.0 million and a borrowing base based on its oil and natural gas reserves and other factors of $90.0 million, subject to scheduled semi-annual and other borrowing base redeterminations and expires on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, $38.0 million was drawn under the Credit Facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Transactions, to pay transaction expenses, to fund any original issue discount or upfront fees in connection with the “market flex” provisions previously agreed upon and to finance working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $45.3 million under the Credit Facility at an interest rate of 3.49% and $44.8 million available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company incurred $3.2 million of expenses in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility. These amounts are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility. Unamortized deferred issuance costs were $2.2 million as of March 31, 2020.  

Principal amounts borrowed are payable on the maturity date. The Company has a choice of borrowing at an alternative base rate (which is equal to the greatest of the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1.0%, the prime rate or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or LIBOR, with such borrowings bearing interest, payable quarterly in arrears for base rate loans and one month, two-month, three month or six-month periods for LIBOR loans. LIBOR loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate appearing on the Reuters Reference LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 page as the LIBOR, for deposits in dollars at 12:00 noon (London, England time) for one, two, three, or six months plus an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the rate for one-month LIBOR loans plus 1%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 100 to 200 basis points. The scheduled redeterminations of our borrowing base take place on April 1st and October 1st of each year.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and each of its existing and future, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Parties”) and are secured by all the present and future assets of the Credit Parties, subject to customary carve-outs.

The Credit Facility contains various affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants.  These covenants, among other things, include restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, acquire and sell assets, create liens, enter into certain lease agreements, make investments, make distributions and require the maintenance of the financial ratios described below.

Preferred Stock At March 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Class A Common Stock – At March 31, 2020, there were 45,987,806 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. The Company is authorized to issue 240,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Class C Common Stock – At March 31, 2020, there were 40,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding. Class C Common Stock was issued to the Contributors in connection with the Transactions and are non-economic but entitle the holder to one vote per share. The Company is authorized to issue 120,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Public Warrants – In July 2017, the Company consummated its initial public offering of units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). At March 31, 2020, there were 13,749,999 Public Warrants outstanding.  Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.  Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, to the extent that any common stock dividend paid by the Company, when combined with other common stock dividends paid in the prior 365 days, exceeds $0.50, it is categorized as an Extraordinary Dividend.  Extraordinary Dividends reduce, penny for penny, the exercise price of the Company’s warrants.  For the quarters ending June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the Company paid Extraordinary Dividends of $0.12 and $0.04, respectively.  Accordingly, the exercise price of the Company’s warrants was reduced to $11.38 after the Extraordinary Dividend paid for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and was further reduced to $11.34 after the Extraordinary Dividend paid for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.  There were no additional changes to the exercise price during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The Public Warrants will expire five years after the closing of the Transactions or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.  The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant with not less than 30 days’ notice provided to the Public Warrant holders.  However, this redemption right can only be exercised if the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

Private Placement Warrants – Upon closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,500,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”).  Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.34.  The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants discussed above, except (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor and (ii) they may be exercisable by the holders on a cashless basis.  At March 31, 2020, there were 7,500,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

In connection with the Transactions, the Company issued 40,000,000 OpCo Common Units to the Contributors. The OpCo Common Units are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon the redemption by any holder of OpCo Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by such holder will be cancelled.

In addition to the above, the Contributors will be entitled to receive earn-out consideration to be paid in the form of OpCo Common Units (with a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock) if the volume-weighted average price of the trading days during any thirty (30) calendar days (the “30-Day VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds certain hurdles set forth in the Contribution Agreement. If the 30-Day VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is $12.50 or more per share at any time within the seven years following the closing, Royal LP will receive (i) an additional 10 million OpCo Common Units (and an equivalent number of shares of Class C Common Stock), plus (ii) an amount of OpCo Common Units (and an equivalent number of shares of Class C Common Stock) equal to (x) the amount by which annual cash dividends paid on each share of Class A Common

Stock exceeds $0.50 in each year between the closing and the date the first earn-out is achieved (with any dividends paid in the stub year in which the first earn-out is achieved annualized for purposes of determining what portion of such dividends would have, on an annual basis, exceeded $0.50), multiplied by 10 million, (y) divided by $12.50. If the 30-Day VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is $15.00 or more per share at any time within the seven years following the closing (which $15.00 threshold will be reduced by the amount by which annual cash dividends paid on each share of Class A Common Stock exceeds $0.50 in each year between the closing and the date the earn-out is achieved, but not below $12.50), the Contributors will receive an additional 10 million OpCo Common Units (and an equivalent number of Class C Common Stock).  Upon recognition of the earn-out, as there is no consideration received, the Company would record the payment of the earn-out as adjustments through equity (non-controlling interest and additional-paid-in-capital).

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company owns 100% of the general partner interests and 53% of the limited partner interests of OpCo and due to the Company’s controlling interest in OpCo, OpCo is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.  Non-controlling ownership interests in OpCo are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders’ equity as a separate component. In addition, consolidated net income includes earnings attributable to both the shareholders and the non-controlling interests. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $5.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of distributions have been made to non-controlling interest holders of the consolidated subsidiaries.

Note 7—Share-Based Compensation

The Falcon Board of Directors has adopted the Falcon Minerals Corporation 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). An aggregate of 8.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock are available for issuance under the Plan.  The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards.  Common shares that are cancelled, forfeited or withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards.  Distribution equivalent rights (“DER”) are also available for grant under the Plan, either alone or in tandem with other specific awards, which will entitle the recipient to receive an amount equal to dividends paid on a Class A common share.  The Plan is administered by the Falcon Board of Directors or a committee thereof.  

Restricted Stock Grants

In accordance with the Plan, the Falcon Board of Directors is authorized to issue restricted stock awards (“RSA”) to eligible employees and directors.  The Company estimates the fair value of the RSAs as the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date of the award, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period.  Each RSA that has been granted has a DER included in each agreement.  Dividends paid in connection with the DERs are accounted for as a reduction in retained earnings for those awards that are expected to vest.  RSAs that are forfeited could cause a reclassification of any previously recognized DER payments from a reduction in retained earnings to additional compensation cost.  

Performance Stock Units

Under the Plan, the Falcon Board of Directors is authorized to issue performance stock units (“PSU”) to eligible employees and directors.  The Company estimates the fair value and the derived service period of the PSUs utilizing a lattice model since one of the vesting requirements is a market-based condition (indexed to the Falcon stock price).  The Company engaged a third-party consultant to calculate fair value and the derived service period of the grants at the time of issuance.  The fair value of the PSUs is then amortized over the longer of the service condition or the derived service period attributable to each grant.  All compensation cost for the PSUs will be recognized over the longer of the service condition or the derived service period, even if the market-condition is never satisfied as long as the award is not forfeited.  The PSUs that have been granted to date do not have any DERs included in the agreements.  PSUs that are forfeited could cause a reclassification of any previously recognized DER payments from a reduction in retained earnings to additional compensation cost.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of share-based compensation which is included in general, administrative and other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The unamortized estimated fair value of unvested RSAs and PSUs was $5.9 million at March 31, 2020.  These costs are expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid less than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, related to DERs of RSA holders.

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method.  The two-class method determines earnings per share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Participating securities represent restricted stock awards in which the recipients have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.  

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 9—Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $55.9 million of net deferred tax assets net of valuation allowances. These net deferred tax assets relate to oil and gas assets and other temporary items where the tax basis differs from the GAAP carrying amounts.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a prepayment of income taxes of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Note 10—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In June 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Osprey Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares”). In March 2017, the Company effectuated a 57.5-for-1 stock split resulting in an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. The Founder Shares automatically converted into Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Transactions on a one-for-one basis. Due to the underwriter’s election not to exercise the remaining portion of the over-allotment option related to the Company’s initial public offering, 312,500 Founder Shares were forfeited resulting in an aggregate of 6,875,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor prior to the Transactions.    

Hepco Capital Management, LLC

Hepco Capital Management, LLC (“Hepco Capital”), which Company officers and directors Edward Cohen, Jonathan Cohen and Jeffrey Brotman are also directors and officers of, and its affiliates share certain employees and office space and reimburses the Company for a proportionate amount of the shared expenses on a monthly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was reimbursed $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, under this agreement.

Royal Resources L.P.

Royal, which owns 35.2 million shares of the Class C Common Stock of the Company, as well as 35.2 million OpCo Common Units, entered into a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) with the Company in December 2018.  Under the MSA, the Company provides certain management services to Royal.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company received $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, under this agreement.

the prices at which natural gas and crude oil sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues and other matters.  Management believes it has complied with the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations.  

Note 13—Subsequent Events

Cash Dividends

In May 2020, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per share of Class A Common Stock totaling approximately $1.1 million for all shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The dividend is for the period from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020.  The dividend is payable on June 8, 2020 to all Class A shareholders of record on May 25, 2020.

OpCo Distribution

In May 2020, OpCo declared distributions totaling $2.1 million to its unitholders, of which $1.1 million was distributed to the Company.  

Credit Facility Redetermination

Effective May 1, 2020, in connection with the Company’s spring redetermination, the borrowing base decreased from $90 million to $70 million.   The borrowing base decrease would decrease the amount available for future borrowings to $24.8 million, based upon the borrowings under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020.  The Company has repaid an additional $2.5 million during the period of March 31, 2020 through the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact, included in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “could,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:

 

our ability to execute our business strategies;

 

changes in general economic conditions, including the material and adverse negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its unfolding impact on the global and national economy;

 

the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other significant producers and governments;

 

the volatility of realized oil and natural gas prices;

 

the level of production on our properties;

 

regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production;

 

our ability to replace our oil and natural gas reserves;

 

our ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions of properties or businesses;

 

general economic, business or industry conditions;

 

competition in the oil and natural gas industry;

 

the ability of our operators to obtain capital or financing needed for development and exploration operations;

 

title defects in the properties in which we invest;

 

uncertainties with respect to identified drilling locations and estimates of reserves;

 

the availability or cost of rigs, equipment, raw materials, supplies, oilfield services or personnel;

 

restrictions on the use of water;

 

the availability of transportation facilities;

 

the ability of our operators to comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations and to obtain permits and governmental approvals;

 

federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing;

 

future operating results;

 

exploration and development drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;

 

operating hazards faced by our operators; and

 

the ability of our operators to keep pace with technological advancements.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this report occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could different materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and the price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, completion and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any

20


 

further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered.

Overview

We were formed to own and acquire royalty interests, mineral interests, non-participating royalty interests and overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs, (“Royalties”) in oil and natural gas properties in North America, substantially all of which are located in the Eagle Ford Shale. These Royalties entitle the holder to a portion of the production of oil and natural gas from the underlying acreage at the sales price received by the operator, net of any applicable post-production expenses and taxes. The holder of these interests has no obligation to fund exploration and development costs, lease operating expenses or plugging and abandonment costs at the end of a well’s productive life, which we believe results in low breakeven costs. 

We own Royalties that entitle us to a portion of the production of oil, natural gas and NGLs from the underlying acreage at the sales price received by the operator, net of production expenses and taxes. We have no obligation to fund finding and development costs, lease operating expenses or pay capital expenditures such as plugging and abandonment costs. As such, we have historically operated with high cash margins, converting a large percentage of revenue to free cash flow, the majority of which has been distributed to our stockholders in the form of a dividend. 

Recent Developments

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility in the financial markets. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. To protect the health and well-being of our workforce in the wake of COVID-19, we have implemented remote work arrangements for all employees. We do not expect these arrangements to impact our ability to maintain operations.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil have also negatively affected the oil and natural gas business environment, significantly reducing prices of oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Our revenues and operating results depend significantly upon the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. The current price environment may cause some of our operators' wells to become uneconomic, which may result in the future, in suspension of production from those wells or a significant reduction in or no royalty revenues from existing production. Some operators may also attempt to shut in producing wells and avoid lease termination or payment of shut-in royalties by claiming force majeure, if provided for in the applicable lease. Because these events have happened so recently, and no operator has, to our knowledge claimed force majeure, we have not been able to quantify their impact on our future revenues.

In a prolonged period of low commodity prices, we may be required to impair certain oil and gas producing properties and the borrowing base under our Credit Facility could be further reduced. In light of the challenging business environment and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, the Company’s Board of Directors also approved a reduction in the quarterly dividend that reflects a decrease in the payout ratio as compared to previous quarters.  

22


 

Sources of Our Revenue

Our revenues are derived from royalty payments we receive from our operators based on the sale of oil and natural gas production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from natural gas during processing. As of March 31, 2020, our Royalties represented the right to receive an average of 1.31% from the producing wells on the underlying acreage at the sales price received by our operators net of any applicable post-production expenses and taxes. Our revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices. Oil, NGLs and natural gas prices have historically been volatile, and at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we did not hedge any of our exposure to changes in commodity prices. During the year ended December 31, 2019, West Texas Intermediate posted prices that ranged from $51.55 to $63.87 per Bbl and the NYMEX monthly settlement price of natural gas ranged from $2.14 to $3.64 per MMBtu. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the West Texas Intermediate posted prices for crude oil ranged from $30.44 to $57.86 per Bbl and the NYMEX monthly settlement price of natural gas ranged from $1.82 to $2.16 per MMBtu.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have resulted in a significant reduction in demand for and prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs. The effect of this was amplified late in the first quarter of 2020 when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its broader partners ("OPEC+") were unable to reach an agreement on production levels for oil, at which point Saudi Arabia and Russia initiated efforts to aggressively increase production. While OPEC+ agreed in April 2020 to cut production, downward pressure on commodity prices has remained and could continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, concerns over the saturation of storage capacity for oil has further depressed prices. We expect these market conditions to result in a decline in drilling activity as operators revise their capital budgets downward and adjust their operations, including shutting in currently producing wells, in response to lower commodity prices. Given the dynamic nature of these events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will persist.

 

Principal Components of Our Cost Structure

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes 

Production taxes are paid on produced oil and natural gas based on a percentage of revenues from products sold at fixed rates established by federal, state and local taxing authorities. Where available, we have historically benefited from tax credits and exemptions in our various taxing jurisdictions. We also directly paid ad valorem taxes in the counties where our production was located. Ad valorem taxes were generally based on the state government’s appraisal of our oil and natural gas properties.

Marketing and Transportation

Marketing and transportation expenses include the costs to process and transport our production to applicable sales points.  Generally, the terms of the lease governing the development of our properties permit the operator to pass through these expenses to us by deducting a pro rata portion of such expenses from our production revenues.

23


 

Amortization

Our Royalties are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets. Acquisition costs are amortized on a units of production basis over the life of the proved reserves.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are costs not directly associated with the production of oil, natural gas and NGLs and include the cost of executives and employees and related benefits (including stock-based compensation expenses), office expenses and fees for professional services.  In addition, we incur incremental G&A expenses relating to be a publicly traded company, including but not limited to, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements, including annual and quarterly reports to shareholders, tax return preparation and dividend expenses, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance expenses, expenses associated with listing our securities, independent auditor fees, legal expenses and investor relations expenses.

Interest Expense

We finance a portion of our working capital requirements and acquisitions with borrowings under our Credit Facility.  As a result, we incur interest expense that is affected by both fluctuations in interest rates and our financing decisions.  We reflect interest paid to the lenders under our credit facility in interest expense on our statement of operations.  Please read “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness” for further details of our credit facility.    

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes reflect the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets are recovered or settled. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying current tax rates to the differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in carryback periods, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our income tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex income tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. We recognize certain income tax positions that meet a more-likely-than not recognition threshold. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, we will reverse the liability and recognize an income tax benefit during the period in which we determine the liability no longer applies.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2020 to the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Oil and Gas Revenues

Oil and gas revenues decreased $7.7 million, or 36%, to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in oil and gas revenues was attributable to a decrease in oil and natural gas production in addition to a significant decline in realized oil and natural gas prices. We received an average price of $43.10 per Bbl of oil and $1.94 per Mcf of gas sold in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $59.46 per Bbl of oil and $3.29 per Mcf of gas sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

Production and ad valorem taxes decreased $0.3 million, or 24%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in production and ad valorem taxes was attributable to the decrease in oil and natural gas production partially offset by an increase in ad valorem taxes.  As a percentage of revenue, production and ad valorem taxes were 6% and 5%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Marketing and Transportation Expense

Marketing and transportation expense decreased $0.4 million, or 49%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, as a percentage of revenue, marketing and transportation expense was 3% and 4%, respectively.  The decrease in marketing and transportation expense as a percentage of revenue during 2020 is attributable to an increase in production from leases that are not burdened by marketing and transportation costs.  

Amortization of Royalty Interests in Oil and Gas Properties Expense

Amortization of royalty interests in oil and gas properties expense increased $0.2 million, or 5%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in amortization of royalty interests in oil and gas properties expense was primarily attributable to the impact of higher depletion rates which was partially offset by lower production.  The higher depletion rates were primarily driven by decreases in estimated proved developed producing reserve quantities in the Eagle Ford as adjusted in our year-end reserve report.  

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense increased $0.6 million, or 23%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in general, administrative and other expense was attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.6 million offset by a reduction in compensation expense of $0.1 million.  

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by less than $0.1 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The increase in interest expense was attributable to greater average outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility offset by a lower average interest rate.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in income taxes was attributed to a decrease in taxable income during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019.  

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to evaluate our performance and compare the results of our operations period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate cash flow available to pay dividends to our common stockholders.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, net, depletion expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes and share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, royalty income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows from operations and equity and debt financings, and our primary uses of cash are for dividends and for the acquisition of additional Royalties.  We intend to finance potential future acquisitions through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under our Credit Facility and, subject to market conditions and other factors, proceeds from one or more capital market transactions, which may include debt or equity offerings. Our ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including commodity prices and general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, including weather.

Our shareholders agreement does not require us to distribute any of the cash we generate from operations. We believe, however, that it is in the best interests of our stockholders if we distribute a substantial portion of the cash we generate from operations. Cash dividends are made to the common stockholders of record on the applicable record date, generally within 60 days after the end of each quarter. Available cash for each quarter’s dividend is determined by the Board of Directors following the end of such quarter. Available cash for each quarter generally equals Adjusted EBITDA reduced for cash needed for debt service, income tax requirements and other contractual obligations and fixed charges that the Board of Directors deems necessary or appropriate, if any.

The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and the recent oil price decline could have significant adverse consequences for general economic, financial and business conditions, as well as for our business and financial position and the business and financial position of the operators of our mineral interests and may, among other things, impact our ability to generate cash flows from operations, access the capital markets on acceptable terms or at all, and affect our future need or ability to borrow under our Credit Facility.  In addition to our potential sources of funding, the effects of such global events may impact our liquidity or need to alter our allocation or sources of capital, implement further cost reduction measures and change our financial strategy.  Although the COVID-19 outbreak and the recent oil price decline could have a broad range of effects on our sources and uses of liquidity, the ultimate effect thereon, if any, will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted at this time.

The following table presents cash distributions approved by the Board of Directors of our general partner for the periods presented.

Falcon Credit Facility

On the Closing Date, we entered into a credit facility with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $500.0 million and a borrowing base based on its oil and natural gas reserves and other factors of $90.0 million, subject to scheduled semi-annual and other borrowing base redeterminations and expires on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Effective November 8, 2019, in connection with the Company’s fall 2019 redetermination, the borrowing base decreased from $105.0 million to $90 million

27


 

and, as of March 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $45.3 million under the Credit Facility at an interest rate of 3.49% and $44.8 million available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company completed the scheduled spring redetermination process and the Company’s borrowing based was reduced to $70.0 million.  Therefore, based upon the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2020, the amount available for future borrowings would be reduced to $24.8 million.  The Company has repaid an additional $2.5 million during the period of March 31, 2020 through the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  

Principal amounts borrowed are payable on the maturity date. We have a choice of borrowing at the base rate or LIBOR, with such borrowings bearing interest, payable quarterly in arrears for base rate loans and one month, two-month, three month or six-month periods for LIBOR loans. LIBOR loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate appearing on the Reuters Reference LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 page as the LIBOR, for deposits in dollars at 12:00 noon (London, England time) for one, two, three, or six months plus an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the rate for one-month LIBOR loans plus 1%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 100 to 200 basis points. The scheduled redeterminations of our borrowing base take place on April 1st and October 1st of each year. 

Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and each of our existing and future, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Parties”) and are secured by all of the present and future assets of the Credit Parties, subject to customary carve-outs.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, acquire and sell assets, create liens, enter into certain lease agreements, make investments and make distributions.

Operating activities

Our operating cash flow has historically been sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of prices for the oil and natural gas for which we receive royalty revenue.  Prices for these commodities are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions.  Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other substantially variable factors influence market conditions for these products.  These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict.  

The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily related to a 8% decrease in oil production, a 16% decrease in natural gas production coupled with a 28% decrease in realized oil prices and a 41% decrease in realized natural gas prices period over period partially offset by an increase in working capital primarily driven by the timing of collection of accounts receivables and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing activities

Investing activities are primarily related to the acquisition and disposition of oil and natural gas interests.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $2.1 million and the majority was related to the acquisition of certain royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $9.9 million and the majority was related to the acquisition of certain royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $8.9 million. It was primarily related to distributions and dividends totaling $11.6 million partially offset by a net increase in borrowings under our Credit Facility of $2.8 million.  The borrowings under our Credit Facility were primarily used to fund the acquisition of certain royalty interests in oil and gas properties during the period.  Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $10.2 million, primarily related to distributions and dividends totaling $17.7 million partially offset by a net increase in borrowings under our Credit

28


 

Facility of $7.5 million.  The borrowings under our Credit Facility were primarily used to fund the acquisition of certain royalty interests in oil and gas properties during the quarter.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations and other commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk 

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to the oil and natural gas production of our operators. Realized pricing was primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our natural gas production. Pricing for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. The prices that our operators receive for production depend on many factors outside of our or their control. Historically, we have not entered into hedging arrangements to manage commodity price risks. 

Revenue Concentration Risk 

We are subject to risk resulting from the concentration of oil and gas revenues in producing oil and natural gas properties and receivables with several significant purchasers. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received approximately 41%, 20%, and 16% of our revenue from ConocoPhillips, EOG Resources, and Devon, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received approximately 39%, 22%, and 16% of our revenue from ConocoPhillips, EOG, and Devon, respectively. We did not require collateral and did not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact our operating results, as crude oil and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, we had total borrowings under our Credit Facility of $45.3 million. The impact of a 1% increase in the interest rate on this amount of debt would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.4 million annually, assuming that our indebtedness remained constant throughout the year. We do not currently have any interest rate hedges in place.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Although we are, from time to time, involved in various legal claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any

29


 

claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly dividends to our shareholders.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in commodity prices in the first quarter of 2020 has adversely affected our business, and the ultimate effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash dividends to shareholders will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility in the financial markets. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in demand for and prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs. In addition, concerns over storage capacity for oil has further depressed prices.

In a prolonged period of low commodity prices, we may be required to impair certain oil and gas producing properties and the borrowing base under our Credit Facility could be reduced. Effective May 1, 2020, in connection with our spring redetermination, the borrowing base decreased from $90 million to $70 million.  In light of the challenging business environment and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, our Board of Directors also approved a reduction in the quarterly dividend payout ratio for the first quarter of 2020 to increase the amount of retained free cash flow for debt reduction and balance sheet protection.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events that increased the supply of low-priced oil have also negatively affected the oil and natural gas business environment, significantly reducing prices of oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Our revenues and operating results depend significantly upon the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. The current price environment may cause some of our operators' wells to become uneconomic, which may result in the future, in suspension of production from those wells or a significant reduction in or no royalty revenues from existing production. Some operators may also attempt to shut in producing wells and avoid lease termination or payment of shut-in royalties by claiming force majeure, if provided for in the applicable lease. Because these events have happened so recently, and no operator has, to our knowledge claimed force majeure, we have not been able to quantify their impact on our future revenues.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
