LandBridge Co LLC Revenue Disclosure

Revenue Recognition

Surface use royalties

The Company enters into surface use royalty agreements that generate recurring surface use royalty revenue. When we execute a surface use royalty agreement, it generally transfers all rights of use of the surface acreage as specified in the agreement and grants us the right to a royalty calculated on the basis of use, gross revenues or volumetric use. Surface use royalties, include but are not limited to, produced water handling and throughput royalties, skim oil royalties, and waste and reclamation royalties. Surface use royalty revenue includes variable consideration that is dependent upon volumetric use and is typically constrained at the inception of the agreement but is resolved when volumes are produced and settled. Surface use royalty payments are typically received one month following the month of production. The Company accrues surface use royalties produced but not yet paid based on historical or estimated basis of the royalty and contract prices. The difference between estimated and actual amounts received for royalties are recorded in the period the payment is received. Refer to Note 3 – Additional Financial Statement Information for additional information regarding amounts accrued on the consolidated statements of operations.

Easements and other surface-related income

Easement and other surface use agreement contracts permit operators to install pipelines, roadways, electric lines, and other equipment on land owned by the Company. When the Company executes the contract, receives payment and the contract becomes effective, we make available the respective parcel of land to the grantee. Revenue is recognized upon the execution of the agreement at the effective date as the performance obligation has been satisfied and the customer has right of use. In the event of a renewal of an existing contract, the Company recognizes the revenue upon receipt of the renewal payment and the contract becomes effective. At that point, the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and control has been transferred to the grantee. Refer to Note 3 – Additional Financial Statement Information for additional information regarding amounts accrued on the consolidated statements of operations.

In certain instances, these contracts may include a provision for royalties. Royalties associated with the use of surface acreage are included in surface use royalties above.

Resource sales and royalties

Resource sales generally includes brackish water and other surface, composite material, such as caliche, that the Company sells to E&P companies and other customers. Resource sales revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of the brackish water or other surface material as the Company's performance obligation has been deemed satisfied at that point in time. In certain instances, a third party other than a customer may be involved in a resource sale transaction, such as a revenue sharing agreement or brokered sale transaction. In these instances, the Company will either act as the principal or the agent in the transaction. If the Company is deemed to be acting as the principal, the revenues are reported on a gross basis in resource sales and corresponding costs reported as resource sales-related expense. If the Company is deemed to be acting as the agent, revenue is recorded net of the corresponding costs and included in the resource sales lines of the consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into resource royalty agreements that generate recurring resource royalty revenue. When we execute a resource royalty agreement, it generally transfers all rights to explore and produce a resource as specified in the agreement and grants us the right to a royalty on future production of that resource. Resource royalty agreements include, but are not limited to, sand, brackish water, and other resources that can be extracted from the Company's surface estate. Resource royalty revenue includes variable consideration that is dependent upon production from those resources, which is typically constrained at the inception of the agreement but is resolved when volumes are produced and settled. Resource royalty payments are typically received one month following the month of production. The Company accrues resource royalties produced but not yet paid based on historical or estimated royalty production and contract prices. The difference between estimated and actual amounts received for royalties are recorded in the period the payment is received. Refer to Note 3 – Additional Financial Statement Information for additional information regarding amounts accrued on the consolidated statements of operations.

In certain instances, resource royalty contracts provide for a bonus payment. These bonus payments are nonrefundable. Resource royalty bonus revenues are recognized when the agreement is executed as control is transferred and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation at that point in time.

Oil and gas royalties

Oil and gas royalties are received in connection with oil and natural gas mineral interests owned by the Company. Oil and gas royalties are recognized as revenue as oil and gas are produced or severed from the mineral lease. The oil and gas royalties we receive includes variable consideration that is dependent upon market prices for oil and gas, and producer specific location and contractual price differences. As a result, our oil and gas royalty revenues are typically constrained at the inception of the contract but will be resolved once volumes are produced and settled. Oil and gas royalty payments are typically received one to three months following the month of production. The Company accrues oil and gas royalties produced but not yet paid based on historical or estimated royalty interest production and current market prices, net of estimated location and contract pricing differentials. The difference between estimated and actual amounts received for oil and gas royalties are recorded in the period the payment is received. Refer to Note 3 – Additional Financial Statement Information for additional information regarding amounts accrued on the consolidated statements of operations.

Oil and gas royalties also include mineral lease bonus revenues. The Company receives lease bonus revenue by leasing its mineral interests to exploration and production (“E&P”) companies. When we execute a mineral lease contract, it generally transfers the rights to any oil or gas discovered to the E&P company and grants us the right to a specified royalty interest payable on future production. Mineral lease bonuses are nonrefundable. Mineral lease bonus revenues are recognized when the agreement is executed as control is transferred and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation at that point in time.
