NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024

KEENE, N.H., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a distribution of $0.20 per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, payable on May 29, 2024 to owners of record on May 17, 2024.

The Trust receives its royalties under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements as detailed in the 2023 10-K on the Trust's website. The Trust's monthly royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties payable to the Trust in the prior quarter. End of quarter royalty adjustments result from the need to align scheduled royalty payments from the operating companies with actual royalties that should have been paid. When actual prices and volumes are reported, there will be a positive reconciliation in the current quarter or a negative reconciliation in the subsequent quarter. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, there were positive adjustments of $125,240 under the Mobil Agreement and $51,781 under the OEG Agreement. 

Scheduled royalty payments for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 are estimated to be $2.4 million at the current exchange rate of 1.070338. The exchange rate on the date of transfer of funds will determine actual royalty income. Factors not reflected in the calculation that will determine the distribution may include a potential royalty adjustment at the end of July 2024. Additionally, expenses in the quarter will be deducted from royalty income prior to the calculation of the third fiscal quarter's distribution. Additional details will be available in the Trust's 10-Q filing at the Trust's website, shown below, or through the SEC's EDGAR website on or about May 30, 2024.
