Cross Timbers Royalty Trust Declares December Cash Distribution

DALLAS, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank, as Trustee of the Cross Timbers Royalty Trust CRT, today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.100503 per unit, payable on January 15, 2019, to unitholders of record on December 31, 2018. The following table shows underlying oil and gas sales and average prices attributable to the current month and prior month distributions.

Excess Costs
XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that improved oil prices and timing of invoices led to the partial recovery of excess costs of $93,000 on properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests. However after the partial recovery, there were no remaining proceeds from the properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests to be included in this month's distribution. Underlying cumulative excess costs remaining on the Texas Working Interest net profits interests after the current month's distribution total $1.7 million, including accrued interest of $246,000.

XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that increased development costs, primarily due to the drilling of seven vertical wells in the Hewitt Unit, caused costs to exceed revenues by $124,000 on properties underlying the Oklahoma Working Interest net profits interests. However, these excess costs did not reduce net proceeds from the remaining conveyances.
