AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Enduro Royalty Trust NDRO (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.064625 per unit, payable on November 17, 2014 to unitholders of record on October 31, 2014. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of July 2014 and natural gas production during June 2014.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.

Oil cash receipts were consistent with the prior month and totaled $6.9 million. Natural gas receipts decreased $0.1 million from the prior month, totaling $1.9 million, as a result of decreased sales volumes due primarily to one less production day in June and the timing of cash receipts.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled $1.4 million and relate to expenses incurred during August 2014. Of this amount, approximately $0.7 million related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. Through August, capital incurred for projects in the Wolfcamp Rocker B program has totaled $16.1 million.
