NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2015 to own and acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States. Effective as of September 24, 2018, the Partnership has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As an owner of mineral and royalty interests, the Partnership is entitled to a portion of the revenues received from the production of oil, natural gas and associated natural gas liquids (“NGL”) from the acreage underlying its interests, net of post-production expenses and taxes. The Partnership is not obligated to fund drilling and completion costs, lease operating expenses or plugging and abandonment costs at the end of a well’s productive life. The Partnership’s primary business objective is to provide increasing cash distributions to unitholders resulting from acquisitions from third parties, its Sponsors and the Contributing Parties, and from organic growth through the continued development by working interest owners of the properties in which it owns an interest.

On February 8, 2022, the Partnership announced the $230 million initial public offering of its special purpose acquisition company, Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: TGR).

Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation (“TGR”) was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (“TGR Sponsor”), which is a subsidiary of the Partnership, was created to assist TGR in sourcing, analyzing and consummating acquisition opportunities for that initial business combination.

TGR Sponsor and TGR have been consolidated in the financial statements of the Partnership beginning in the year ended December 31, 2021. This resulted in the consolidation of $238.3 million of assets, $8.5 million of liabilities, $236.9 million of redeemable noncontrolling interests and $17.8 million of common equity and $2.6 million of noncontrolling interests related to TGR and TGR Sponsor as of June 30, 2022. Further details on the impacts of the consolidation of TGR and TGR Sponsor can be found in Note 3.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange ~~Commission.~~Commission (the “SEC”). As a result, the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required for complete annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (the ~~“2020~~“2021 Form 10-K”), which contains a summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures. In the opinion of management of the General Partner, the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods in accordance with GAAP and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Partnership 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 in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Partnership’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information of the Partnership as a whole.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Impact on Global Demand for Oil and Natural Gas

~~The global spread of coronavirus~~Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) ~~created significant volatility,~~remains a global health crisis and there continues to be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants. Despite improvements in global economic ~~disruption beginning in~~activity levels and higher energy demand compared to 2021, the ~~first three months~~impacts of ~~2020. On March 11, 2020,~~COVID-19 continue to be unpredictable, including the ~~World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared~~impacts of new virus strains, the ~~ongoing COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic~~risk of renewed restrictions and ~~recommended containment~~the uncertainty of successful administration of effective treatments and ~~mitigation measures worldwide.~~

~~Table~~vaccines. The Partnership is unable to reasonably estimate the period of ~~Contents~~

~~The pandemic reached more than 200 countries and resulted in widespread adverse impacts on~~time that related conditions could exist or the global economy, the Partnership’s oil, natural gas, and NGL operators and other parties with whom the Partnership has business relations, including a significant reduction in the global demand for oil and natural gas during the 2020 period. The significant decline in demand accelerated following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, raising concerns about global storage capacity. The resulting supply and demand imbalance ledextent to a significantly weaker outlook for oil and gas producers in 2020. In the first half of 2021, both pricing and activity began to improve, with oil prices rising above pre-COVID-19 levels. In spite of further stabilization in the oil and natural gas markets and improved differentials and commodity prices, the Partnership believes that the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and potential supply and demand imbalances in the oil and natural gas marketswhich they could ~~have an adverse effect on~~impact the Partnership’s business, ~~production, cash flows, financial condition and~~ results of operations, ~~during 2021.~~

The Partnership has modified certain business practices (including those related to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”), the WHO and other governmental and regulatory authorities. In mid-March 2020, the Partnership restricted access to its offices to only essential employees, and directed the remainder of its employees to workfinancial condition or cash flows. Commodity prices have risen from ~~home to the extent possible. Beginning in mid-May 2020, the Partnership opened its offices to employees on a voluntary basis, with employees having the option to work~~2021; however, further negative impacts from the office or from home. The Partnership will continue to give employees the option to work from the office or from home until the CDC recommends businesses and employers resume to pre-pandemic operations. These restrictions have had minimal impact on the Partnership’s operations to date and have allowedCOVID-19 may require the Partnership to ~~maintain the engagement and connectivity of~~adjust its ~~personnel, as well as minimize the number of employees in the office.~~business plan.

The ultimate ~~impacts~~impact of COVID-19 and the volatility in the oil and natural gas markets on the Partnership’s business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations remain dependent on a number of factors, ~~including, among others,~~such as the ~~ultimate severity of COVID-19, the consequences of governmental~~duration and ~~other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the development, availability and administration of effective treatments and vaccines, the duration~~scope of the pandemic, ~~actions taken by members~~the length and severity of ~~OPEC~~the worldwide economic downturn, the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other ~~foreign, oil-exporting countries, governmental authorities~~crude oil producing nations to manage the global crude oil supply, additional actions by businesses and ~~other thirds parties, workforce availability,~~governments in response to the pandemic, the economic downturn and the ~~timing~~decrease in crude oil demand, the speed and ~~extent~~effectiveness of ~~any return~~responses to ~~normal~~combat the virus and the time necessary to balance crude oil supply and demand to restore crude oil pricing. Although prices have recovered, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business, employees and operations, including supply chain concerns, among others still continues to affect our industry.

Russia / Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in active armed conflict against the country. The conflict and the sanctions imposed in response have led to regional instability and caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets and have increased the level of global economic and ~~operating conditions.~~political uncertainty, including uncertainty about world-wide oil supply and demand, which in turn has increased volatility in commodity prices.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” that is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes. The Partnership ~~adopted this update on January 1, 2021~~analyzes whether it has a variable interest in an entity and ~~applied~~whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to determine whether it ~~prospectively.~~is required to consolidate those entities. The ~~adoption~~Partnership performs the variable interest analysis for all entities in which it has a potential variable interest, which primarily consist of ~~this update did not have a material impact on~~all entities with respect to which the ~~Partnership’s results of operations for~~Partnership serves as the ~~three~~sponsor, general partner or managing member, and ~~six months ended June 30, 2021.~~

general partner entities

Table of Contents

not wholly owned by the Partnership. If the Partnership has a variable interest in the entity and the entity is a VIE, it will also analyze whether the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of this entity and whether consolidation is required.

In evaluating whether it has a variable interest in the entity, the Partnership reviews the equity ownership and the extent to which it absorbs risk created and distributed by the entity, as well as whether the fees charged to the entity are customary and commensurate with the level of effort required to provide services. Fees received by the Partnership are not variable interests if (i) the fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, (ii) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length and (iii) the Partnership’s other economic interests in the VIE held directly and indirectly through its related parties, as well as economic interests held by related parties under common control, where applicable, would not absorb more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s benefits. Evaluation of these criteria requires judgment.

For entities determined to be VIEs, the Partnership must then evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs. To make this determination, the Partnership evaluates its economic interests in the entity specifically determining if the Partnership has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, the Partnership considers the total economics of the entity, and analyzes whether the Partnership’s share of the economics is significant. The Partnership utilizes qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

VIEs of which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary have been included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. The portion of the consolidated subsidiaries owned by third parties and any related activity is eliminated through non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investments Held in Trust by Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Investments held in trust represent funds raised by TGR, a consolidated special purpose acquisition company, through the TGR IPO (as defined in Note 3). These funds are held in an actively-traded money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury securities. Investments held in trust are classified as trading securities and are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in other income (expense)—interest earned on marketable securities in trust account on the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the trust account are determined using quoted prices in an active market and therefore are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 5— Fair Value Measurements.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent the shares of TGR Class A common stock (as defined in Note 3) sold in the TGR IPO that are redeemable for cash by the public TGR shareholders concurrently with TGR’s initial business combination or in the event of TGR’s failure to complete a business combination or a tender offer. The redeemable non-controlling interests are initially recorded at their original issue price, net of issuance costs and the initial fair value of separately traded warrants. The carrying amount was accreted to its full redemption value at June 30, 2022.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS, JOINT VENTURE AND ~~JOINT VENTURES~~SPECIAL PURPOSE ACQUISITION COMPANY

Acquisitions

On ~~March 10,~~December 7, 2021, the Partnership completed the acquisition of certain mineral and royalty assets held by Nail Bay Royalties, LLC (“Nail Bay Royalties”) and Oil Nut Bay Royalties, LP for a total purchase price of $0.5 million. The assets acquired were managed by Nail Bay Royalties and Duncan Management, LLC (“Duncan Management”). See Note 13—Related Party Transactions, for further discussion of the Partnership’s relation to each entity.

~~On April 17, 2020, the Partnership and the Operating Company~~ completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests in ~~Springbok Energy Partners,~~certain subsidiaries owned by Caritas Royalty Fund LLC and ~~Springbok Energy Partners II, LLC~~certain of its affiliates (the ~~“Springbok~~“Cornerstone Acquisition”). for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $54.6 million. The ~~aggregate consideration for~~Partnership funded the ~~Springbok~~payment of the purchase price with borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility. The assets acquired in the Cornerstone Acquisition consisted of ~~(i)~~

approximately ~~$95.0 million in cash, (ii)~~26,000 gross producing wells across the issuance of 2,224,358 common units and (iii) the issuance of 2,497,134 OpCo common units and an equal number of Class B units. At the time of the Springbok Acquisition, the acreage acquired had over 90 operators on 2,160 net royalty acres across core areas of the Delaware Basin, DJ Basin,Permian, Mid-Continent, Haynesville ~~STACK, Eagle Ford~~ and other leading United States basins.

Joint ~~Ventures~~Venture

On June 19, 2019, the Partnership entered into a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with Springbok SKR Capital Company, LLC and Rivercrest Capital Partners, LP, a related party. The Partnership’s ownership in the Joint Venture iswas 49.3% and its total capital commitment will not exceed $10.0 million. The Joint Venture is managed by Springbok Operating Company, LLC. While certain members of Springbok Operating Company, LLC are affiliated with the entities acquired as part of the Springbok Acquisition, none of the assets held by. On April 29, 2022, the Joint Venture ~~were included in~~completed the ~~Springbok Acquisition. The purpose~~sale of the ~~Joint Venture is to make direct or indirect investments in~~majority of its royalty, mineral and overriding ~~royalty~~ interests and similar non-cost bearing interests in oil and gas properties ~~excluding leasehold~~for a total purchase price of $14.8 million. Net proceeds distributed to the Partnership were $6.4 million, which were then used to repay debt on the Partnership’s secured revolving credit facility.

Special Purpose Acquisition Company

On July 29, 2021, TGR, the Partnership’s special purpose acquisition company and subsidiary, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC. On February 8, 2022, TGR consummated its initial public offering (the “TGR IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (each a “unit” and, collectively, the “units”), including 3,000,000 additional units issued pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its over-allotment option, at $10.00 per unit, generating proceeds of approximately $230,000,000 and incurring offering costs of approximately $12,650,000, inclusive of $8,050,000 in deferred underwriting commissions. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “TGR Class A common stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant may be exercised for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Certain members of our management and members of the Board of Directors are members of the sponsor of TGR, TGR Sponsor. TGR was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or ~~working interests.~~similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Under the terms of TGR’s governing documents, TGR has until May 8, 2023 (15 months from the closing of the TGR IPO) to complete the Business Combination, subject to TGR Sponsor’s option to extend such deadline by three months up to two times.

In connection with the closing of the TGR IPO, TGR completed the sale of 14.1 million private placement warrants (the “private placement warrants”) to TGR Sponsor, which is a subsidiary of the Partnership, for a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $14.1 million. Each private placement warrant is exercisable to purchase for $11.50 1 share of TGR Class A common stock.

In addition, TGR incurred $12.7 million of fees and expenses, of which $8.1 million were deferred underwriting commissions that will become payable to the underwriters solely in the event that TGR completes the Business Combination, which were included in deferred underwriting commissions on the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022.

In May 2021, prior to TGR’s IPO, TGR Sponsor paid $25,000 in exchange for the issuance of (i) 5,750,100 shares of TGR’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “TGR Class B common “stock”), and (ii) 2,500 shares of TGR Class A common stock. Additionally, in May 2021, TGR paid $25,000 to Kimbell Tiger Operating Company (“TGR Opco”) in exchange for the issuance of 2,500 Class A units of TGR Opco. Also in May 2021, TGR Sponsor received 100 Class A units of TGR Opco in exchange for $1,000 and 5,750,000 Class B units of TGR Opco. The ~~Partnership utilizes~~shares of TGR Class B common stock and corresponding number of Class B units of TGR Opco (or the Class A units of TGR Opco into which such Class B units will convert) are collectively referred to as the “Founders Shares.” The Founders Shares will be exchangeable for shares of TGR Class A common stock upon completion of the Business Combination on a 1-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. Class A units and Class B units of TGR Opco are substantially similar, other than certain distribution rights, and are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted for stockholder vote.

In determining the accounting treatment of the Partnership’s equity ~~method~~interest in TGR, management concluded that TGR is a VIE as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” A VIE is an entity in which equity investors at risk lack the characteristics of ~~accounting~~a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, the party who has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. TGR Sponsor is the primary beneficiary of TGR as it has,

Table of Contents

through its equity interest, the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses from TGR, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impact TGR’s economic performance, including identification of a target for its ~~investment~~Business Combination. As such, TGR is consolidated into the Partnership’s financial statements through TGR Sponsor.

Proceeds of $236.9 million were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of TGR’s public unitholders consisting of certain proceeds from the TGR IPO and certain proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other costs and expenses. A minimum balance of $236.9 million, representing the number of TGR units sold at a redemption value of $10.30 per unit, is required by the underwriting agreement to be maintained in the ~~Joint Venture.~~trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account are only permitted to be invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. In connection with the trust account, the Partnership reported investments held in trust of $237.2 million on the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet June 30, 2022.

The public unitholders’ ownership of TGR Class A common stock represents a redeemable non-controlling interest to the Partnership, which is classified outside of permanent unitholders’ equity as the TGR Class A common stock is redeemable at the option of the public unitholders in connection with the Business Combination. The carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest is equal to the greater of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable non-controlling interest’s share of TGR’s net income or loss and distributions or (ii) the redemption value. The public unitholders of TGR Class A common stock will be entitled in certain circumstances to redeem their shares of TGR Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the amount in the trust account at $10.30 per share of TGR Class A common stock held, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest was recorded at its redemption value of $236.9 million. Remeasurements to the redemption value of the redeemable non-controlling interest are recognized as a deemed dividend and are recorded directly to unitholders’ equity on the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

If TGR has not completed the Business Combination within such 15-month period (or 18-month or 21-month period, as applicable, if TGR Sponsor exercises its extension options), TGR will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less an amount required to satisfy taxes of TGR and TGR Opco and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and Class A units of Opco (other than those held by TGR), which redemption will completely extinguish the public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of TGR’s remaining stockholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to TGR’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to TGR’s warrants, which will expire worthless if TGR fails to complete the Business Combination within such 15-month period (or 18-month or 21-month period, as applicable, if the TGR Sponsor exercises its extension options).

As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership ~~had paid~~owned approximately ~~$5.2~~20% of the common stock of TGR and the net loss and net assets of TGR were consolidated with the Partnership’s financial statements. The remaining approximately 80% of the consolidated net loss and net assets of TGR, representing the percentage of economic interest in TGR held by public shareholders of TGR through their ownership of TGR common stock, were allocated to redeemable non-controlling interest. The total assets of TGR are $238.3 million ~~under its capital commitment.~~and total liabilities are $8.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The assets of TGR held outside of trust can only be used to settle obligations of TGR and there is no recourse to the Partnership for TGR’s liabilities. All warrants and TGR Class B common stock held by the Partnership are eliminated in consolidation. Also, all transactions between TGR and the Partnership, as well as related financial statement impacts, are eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 4—DERIVATIVES

Commodity Derivatives

The Partnership’s ongoing operations expose it to changes in the market price for oil and natural gas. To mitigate the inherent commodity price risk associated with its operations, the Partnership uses oil and natural gas commodity derivative financial instruments. From time to time, such instruments may include variable-to-fixed-price swaps, costless collars, fixed-price contracts, and other contractual arrangements. The Partnership enters into oil and natural gas derivative contracts that contain netting arrangements with each counterparty.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Partnership’s commodity derivative contracts consisted of fixed price swaps, under which the Partnership receives a fixed price for the contract and pays a floating market price to the counterparty over a specified period for a contracted volume. The Partnership hedges its production based on the amount of debt and/or preferred equity as a percent of its enterprise value. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, these economic hedges constituted approximately ~~33%~~32% of daily oil and natural gas production.

The Partnership’s oil fixed price swap transactions are settled based upon the average daily prices for the calendar month of the contract period, and its natural gas fixed price swap transactions are settled based upon the last scheduled trading day ~~settlement of~~for the first nearby month futures contract ofcorresponding to the relevant contract period. Settlement for oil derivative contracts occurs in the succeeding month and natural gas derivative contracts are settled in the production month. Changes in the fair values of the Partnership’s commodity derivative instruments are recognized as gains or losses in the current period and are presented on a net basis within revenue in the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations.

Interest Rate Swaps

On January 27, 2021, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap with Citibank, N.A., New York (“Citibank”), which fixed the interest rate on $150.0 million of the notional balance on our secured revolving credit facility. On May 17, 2022, the Partnership entered into a partial termination agreement with Citibank to unwind 50% of the current interest rate swap. The partial termination resulted in a $3.0 million gain, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. Following the partial termination, $75.0 million of the notional balance on our secured revolving credit facility is secured by a fixed interest rate (which represented approximately 35% of our outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022), at approximately 3.9% for the period ending on January 29, 2024. The Partnership uses an interest rate swap for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as the interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Partnership’s secured revolving credit facility from a floating to a fixed rate. Changes in the fair values of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps are recognized as gains or losses in the current period and are presented on a net basis within other income in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate swap had a total notional amount of $75.0 million and a fair value of $3.3 million.

(which represented approximately 92% of our outstanding balance as of June 30, 2021), at approximately 3.9% for the period ending on January 29, 2024. The Partnership uses an interest rate swap for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as the interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Partnership’s secured revolving credit facility from a floating to a fixed rate. Changes in the fair values of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps are recognized as gains or losses in the current period and are presented on a net basis within other income in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the interest rate swap had a total notional amount of $150.0 million and a fair value of $0.5 million.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Partnership measures and reports certain assets and liabilities on a fair value basis and has classified and disclosed its fair value measurements using the levels of the fair value hierarchy noted below. The carrying values of cash, oil, natural gas and NGL receivables, accounts receivable and other current assets and current and long-term liabilities included in the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets approximated fair value as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 due to their short-term duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period. As a result, these financial assets and liabilities are not discussed below.

●

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

~~Table of Contents~~

●

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

●

Level 3—Measurement based on prices or valuations models that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (including the Partnership’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

Table of Contents

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Partnership recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels as of the end of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances causing the transfer occurred. The Partnership did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

The estimated fair values of investments held in the trust account are determined using quoted prices in an active market and therefore are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Both the Partnership’s commodity derivative instruments and interest rate swap are classified within Level 2. The fair values of the Partnership’s oil and natural gas fixed price swaps are based upon inputs that are either readily available in the public market, such as oil and natural gas futures prices, volatility factors and discount rates, or can be corroborated from active markets.

The following tables summarize the Partnership’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the fair value hierarchy:

The Partnership assesses properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: economic and market conditions, operators’ intent to drill, remaining lease term, geological and geophysical evaluations, operators’ drilling results and activity, the assignment of proved reserves and the economic viability of operator development if proved reserves are assigned. Costs associated with unevaluated properties are excluded from the full cost pool until a determination as to the existence of proved reserves is able to be made. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to amortization and to the full cost ceiling test. ~~The~~

Partnership transferred $48.6 million to the full cost pool in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of this impairment assessment. The transfer resulted in an additional ceiling test impairment expense for the first quarter of 2020 equal to the amount of the transfer.

After evaluating certain external factors in ~~the first quarter of~~ 2020, including a significant decline in oil and natural gas prices, as well as longer-term commodity price outlooks, in each case related to reduced demand for oil and natural gas as a result of COVID-19, the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, and other supply factors, the Partnership determined that significant drilling uncertainty existed regarding its proved undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves that were included in its total estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2019, as well as its unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. Specifically, with respect to the Partnership’s PUD reserves (which accounted for approximately 6.1% of total estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2019), the Partnership determined that it did not have reasonable certainty as to the timing of the development of the ~~PUD~~proved undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves and, therefore ~~recorded an impairment on such properties in the first quarter of 2020. The Partnership~~ did not book PUD reserves in its total estimated proved reserves as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and it does not intend to book PUD reserves going forward.

The Partnership did 0t record an impairment on its oil and natural gas properties for the three ~~and~~or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The Partnership recorded an impairment on its oil and natural gas properties of $65.5 million and $136.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which can primarily be attributed to factors mentioned above.

NOTE 7—LEASES

Substantially all of the Partnership’s leases are long-term operating leases with fixed payment terms and will terminate in June 2029. The Partnership’s right-of-use (“ROU”) operating lease 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 lease assets and operating lease liabilities are included in the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets. Short term operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities. The weighted average remaining lease term as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is ~~7.84~~6.86 years.

Both the ROU operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and do not include lease incentives. The Partnership’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined; therefore, the Partnership used a discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the information available in the secured revolving credit facility. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that the Partnership would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The weighted average discount rate used for the operating ~~lease~~leases was 6.75% for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. The total operating lease expense recorded for both the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 was $0.1 million. The total operating lease expense recorded for both the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 was $0.2 million.

Currently, the most substantial contractual arrangements that the Partnership has classified as operating leases are the main office spaces used for operations.

Future minimum lease commitments as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were as follows:

NOTE 8—LONG-TERM DEBT

On June 7, 2022, the Partnership entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Partnership’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2017 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2018, and that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2020, and as otherwise amended or modified prior to such date, the “Credit Agreement” and the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Third Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), with certain subsidiaries of the Partnership, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank as administrative agent.

The Third Credit Agreement Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase (1) the aggregate elected commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and (2) the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, in each case, from $275.0 million to $300.0 million and (ii) effect a transition of the benchmark interest rate from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), by replacing the term “LIBOR” with the term “SOFR” for one, three or six month

~~NOTE 8—LONG-TERM DEBT~~

~~On January 11, 2017, the Partnership entered into~~interest periods, plus a fixed credit ~~agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with Frost Bank, as administrative agent,~~spread adjustment of 10, 15 and the lenders party thereto. On July 12, 2018, the Partnership entered into an amendment (the “First Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Partnership’s 2017 Credit Agreement (the 2017 Credit Agreement as amended by the First Credit Agreement Amendment, the “2018 Amended Credit Agreement”).

On December 8, 2020, the Partnership entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement (the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement as amended by the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Second Credit Agreement Amendment amends the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement’s senior secured revolving credit facility from $225.0 million to $265.0 million, the availability of which will equal the lesser of the aggregate maximum elected commitments of the lenders up to $500.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions25 basis points for 1-month, 3-month and the election of existing lenders to increase commitments or the procurement of additional commitments from new lenders, and the borrowing base, (ii) extend the maturity date under the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement from February 8, 2022 to June 7, 2024, (iii) reflect the change in administrative agent from Frost to ~~with~~ Citibank, N.A., New York (“Citibank”) under the Amended Credit Agreement, (iv) increase the applicable margin under the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement, which varies based upon the level of borrowing base usage, by 1.00% for each applicable level as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, such that the applicable margin will range from 2.00% to 3.00% in the case of ABR Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and 3.00% to 4.00% in the case of LIBOR Loans6-month Term SOFR loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), ~~(v)~~respectively. ~~provide for~~ a LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) floor of 0.25%, (vi) modify the Debt to EBITDAX Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) financial covenant to permit the numerator of the Debt to EBITDAX Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to be calculated as Total Debt (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) minus up to $25 million in unrestricted cash held by the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries and to decreases the maximum permitted Debt to EBITDAX Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) from ~~4.0~~ ~~to 1.0 to~~ ~~3.5~~ to 1.0, and (vii) modify the conditions permitting restricted distributions to holders of Kimbell Common Units (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) including, among other things, a limitation on such distributions to not be in excess of the Partnership’s Projected Cash Available For Distribution (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). In connection with our entry into the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, the borrowing base was set at $265.0 million. The borrowing base will be redetermined semi-annually on or about May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning May 1, 2021, based on the value of the Partnership’s oil and natural gas properties and the oil and natural gas properties of the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries. ~~In connection with the May 1, 2021 redetermination under the secured revolving credit facility, the borrowing base was reaffirmed at $265.0 million.~~

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. These covenants limit the Partnership’s ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional debt, make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“common units”) and common units of the Operating Company (“OpCo common ~~units,~~units”), make certain investments and acquisitions, incur certain liens or permit them to exist, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company and transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring the Partnership to maintain the following financial ratios or to reduce the Partnership’s indebtedness if the Partnership is unable to comply with such ratios: (i) a Debt to EBITDAX Ratio ~~(as defined in the~~ ~~Amended Credit Agreement~~) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0; and (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, cross default, bankruptcy and change of control.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Partnership borrowed an additional ~~$4.5~~$36.2 million under the secured revolving credit facility and repaid approximately ~~$13.1~~$37.2 million of the outstanding borrowings. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Partnership’s outstanding balance was ~~$162.9~~$216.1 million. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants included in the secured revolving credit facility as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Table of Contents~~

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility bore interest at ~~LIBOR~~SOFR plus a margin of 3.50% or the ABR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 2.50%. For ~~both~~ the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the weighted average interest rate on the Partnership’s outstanding borrowings was ~~3.75%.~~4.75% and 4.43%, respectively.

The 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be published after December 31, 2021 and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates for the remaining U.S. dollar settings after June 30, 2023. In response, the Partnership’s secured revolving credit facility has transitioned to the use of the SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in replacement of LIBOR.

NOTE 9—PREFERRED UNITS

In July 2018, the Partnership completed the private placement of 110,000 Series A preferred units (the “Series A preferred units”) to certain affiliates of Apollo Capital Management, L.P. (the “Series A Purchasers”) for $1,000 per Series A preferred unit, resulting in gross proceeds to the Partnership of $110.0 million. Until the conversion of the Series A preferred units into common units or their redemption, holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions equal to 7.0% per annum plus accrued and unpaid distributions. In connection with the issuance of the Series A preferred units, the Partnership granted holders of the Series A preferred units board observer rights beginning on the third anniversary of the original issuance date, and board appointment rights beginning on the fourth anniversary of the original issuance date and in the case of events of default with respect to the Series A preferred units.

The Series A preferred units are convertible by the Series A Purchasers after two years at a 30% discount to the issue price, subject to certain conditions. The Partnership may redeem the Series A preferred units at any time. The Series A preferred units may be redeemed for a cash amount per Series A preferred unit equal to the product of (a) the number of outstanding Series A preferred units multiplied by (b) the greatest of (i) an amount (together with all prior distributions made in respect of such Series A preferred unit) necessary to achieve the Minimum IRR (as defined below), (ii) an amount (together with all prior distributions made in respect of such Series A preferred unit) necessary to achieve a return on investment equal to ~~1.2~~ ~~times with respect to such Series A preferred unit and (iii) the Series A issue price plus accrued and unpaid distributions.~~

~~For purposes of the~~ ~~Series A preferred units~~, “Minimum IRR” means as of any measurement date: (a) prior to the fifth anniversary of July 12, 2018 (the “Series A Issuance Date”), a 13.0% internal rate of return with respect to the Series A preferred units; (b) on or after the fifth anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date and prior to the sixth anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, a 14.0% internal rate of return with respect to the Series A preferred units; and (c) on or after the sixth anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, a 15.0% internal rate of return with respect to the Series A preferred units.

On February 12, 2020, the Partnership completed the redemption of 55,000 Series A preferred units, representing 50% of the then-outstanding Series A preferred units. The Series A preferred units were redeemed at a price of $1,110.72 per Series A preferred unit for an aggregate redemption price of $61.1 million. As the consideration transferred by the Partnership to redeem the Series A preferred units was greater than 50% of the carrying value of the Series A preferred units as of the redemption date and 50% of the original intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, a deemed dividend distribution of $5.7 million was recognized in unitholders’ equity and non-controlling interest during the ~~six months~~year ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020.

On July 7, 2021, the Partnership completed the redemption of 30,000 Series A preferred units, representing 55% of the then-outstanding Series A preferred units, with 25,000 Series A preferred units still outstanding. The ~~following table summarizes~~Series A preferred units were redeemed at a price of $1,202.51 per Series A preferred unit for an aggregate redemption price of $36.1 million.

Holders of the Class B units are entitled to receive cash distributions equal to 2.0% per quarter on their respective Class B Contribution, subsequent to distributions on the Series A preferred units but prior to distributions on the common units and OpCo common units.

The Class B units and OpCo common units are exchangeable together into an equal number of common units of the Partnership.

NOTE 11—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON UNIT

Basic earnings (loss) per common unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common units by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common unit gives effect, when applicable, to unvested restricted units granted under the Partnership’s A&R LTIP (as defined in Note 12) for its employees, directors and consultants and potential conversion of Class B units.

NOTE 12—UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

On May 18, 2022, the Partnership held a special meeting of unitholders of the Partnership (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Partnership’s unitholders voted to approve the Amended and Restated Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “A&R LTIP”), which increased the number of common units eligible for issuance under the A&R LTIP by 3,700,000 common units for a total of 8,241,600 common units. The Partnership’s A&R LTIP authorizes grants ~~of up to 4,541,600 common units in the aggregate~~ to its employees, directors and consultants. The restricted units issued under the Partnership’s A&R LTIP generally vest in one-third installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date. Compensation expense for such awards will be recognized over the term of the service period on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Management elects not to estimate forfeiture rates and to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur. Compensation expense for consultants is treated in the same manner as that of the employees and directors.

Table of Contents

Distributions related to the restricted units are paid concurrently with the Partnership’s distributions for common units. The fair value of the Partnership’s restricted units issued under the A&R LTIP to the Partnership’s employees, directors and consultants is determined by utilizing the market value of the Partnership’s common units on the respective grant date.

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES

In May 2018, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a change of the Partnership’s federal income tax status from that of a pass-through partnership to that of a taxable entity, which became effective on September 24, 2018. Subsequent to the Partnership’s change in tax status, the Partnership’s provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate plus discrete items.

Prior to September 24, 2018, the Partnership was organized as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, the Partnership’s partners were responsible for federal and state income or similar taxes on their share of the Partnership’s taxable income with the exception of any entity-level income or similar taxes such as the Texas Franchise Tax. The Partnership recorded an income tax expense of $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The income tax expense recorded by the Partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the significant increase in commodity prices which generated forecasted taxable net income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 14—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership currently has a management services agreement with Kimbell Operating, which has separate services agreements with each of BJF Royalties, LLC (“BJF Royalties”), and K3 Royalties, LLC (“K3 Royalties”), ~~Nail Bay Royalties and Duncan Management,~~ pursuant to which they and Kimbell Operating provide management, administrative and operational services to the Partnership. In addition, under each of their respective services agreements, affiliates of the Partnership’s Sponsors may identify, evaluate and recommend to the Partnership acquisition opportunities and negotiate

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2015 to own and acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States. Effective as of September 24, 2018, we have elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As an owner of mineral and royalty interests, we are entitled to a portion of the revenues received from the production of oil, natural gas and associated NGLs from the acreage underlying our interests, net of post-production expenses and taxes. We are not obligated to fund drilling and completion costs, lease operating expenses or plugging and abandonment costs at the end of a well’s productive life. Our primary business

Table of Contents

objective is to provide increasing cash distributions to unitholders resulting from acquisitions from third parties, our Sponsors and the Contributing Parties and from organic growth through the continued development by working interest owners of the properties in which we own an interest.

~~Table of Contents~~

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we owned mineral and royalty interests in approximately ~~9.1~~11.4 million gross acres and overriding royalty interests in approximately ~~4.6~~4.7 million gross acres, with approximately ~~60%~~62% of our aggregate acres located in the Permian Basin, Mid-Continent and Bakken/Williston Basin. We refer to these non-cost-bearing interests collectively as our “mineral and royalty interests.” As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, over ~~98%~~99% of the acreage subject to our mineral and royalty interests was leased to working interest owners, including 100% of our overriding royalty interests, and substantially all of those leases were held by production. Our mineral and royalty interests are located in 28 states and in every major onshore basin across the continental United States and include ownership in over ~~97,000~~122,000 gross wells, including over ~~41,000~~46,000 wells in the Permian Basin.

The following table summarizes our ownership in United States basins and producing regions and information about the wells in which we have a mineral or royalty interest as of June 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

~~Redemption~~Initial Public Offering of ~~Preferred Units~~

On July 7, 2021, we completed the redemption of 30,000 Series A preferred units, representing 55% of the then-outstanding Series A preferred units, with 25,000 Series A preferred units still outstanding. The Series A preferred units were redeemed at a price of $1,202.51 per Series A preferred unit for an aggregate redemption price of $36.1 million.

We, through an indirect subsidiary, would own approximately 20%~~deferred underwriting commissions. Each unit consists of ~~TGR’s issued and outstanding~~one share of Class A common stock ~~upon the consummation~~and one-half of ~~the proposed offering.~~one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant may be exercised for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Certain members of our management and members of the ~~General Partner’s~~ Board of Directors ~~(the “Board of Directors”)~~ are members of the sponsor of TGR. TGR was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Under the terms of TGR’s governing documents, TGR has 15 months (or up to 21 months under certain circumstances) from the closing of the TGR IPO to complete the Business Combination.

In connection with the closing of the TGR IPO, TGR completed the sale of 14.1 million private placement warrants (the “private placement warrants”) to TGR Sponsor for a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $14.1 million. Each private placement warrant is exercisable to purchase for $11.50 one share of TGR Class A common stock.

In May 2021, prior to the TGR IPO, TGR Sponsor paid $25,000 in exchange for the issuance of (i) 5,750,100 shares of TGR’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “TGR Class B common stock”), and (ii) 2,500 shares of TGR’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “TGR Class A common stock”). Additionally, in May 2021, TGR paid $25,000 to Kimbell Tiger Operating Company (“TGR Opco”) in exchange for the issuance of 2,500 Class A units of TGR Opco. Also in May 2021, TGR Sponsor received 100 Class A units of TGR Opco in exchange for $1,000 and 5,750,000 Class B units of TGR Opco. The shares of TGR Class B common stock and corresponding number of Class B units of TGR Opco (or the Class A units of TGR Opco into which such Class B units will convert) are collectively referred to as the “Founders Shares.” The Founders Shares will be exchangeable for shares of TGR Class A common stock upon completion of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. Class A units and Class B units of TGR Opco are substantially similar, other than certain distribution rights, and are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted for stockholder vote.

In determining the accounting treatment of the Partnership’s equity interest in TGR, management concluded that TGR is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” A VIE is an entity in which equity investors at risk lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, the party who has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. TGR Sponsor is the primary beneficiary of TGR as it has, through its equity interest, the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses from TGR, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impact TGR’s economic performance, including identification of a target for its Business Combination. As such, TGR is fully consolidated into the Partnership’s financial statements.

As of June 30, ~~2021, we incurred $0.2 million~~2022, the Partnership owned approximately 20% of the common stock of TGR and the net loss and net assets of TGR were consolidated with the Partnership’s financial statements. The remaining approximately 80% of the consolidated net loss and net assets of TGR, representing the percentage of economic interest in ~~deferred offering costs~~TGR held by public shareholders of TGR through their ownership of TGR common stock, were allocated to redeemable non-controlling interest. All transactions between TGR and TGR Sponsor, as well as related ~~to the proposed offering, which is included~~financial statement impacts, eliminate in ~~other current assets in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~consolidation.

Quarterly Distributions

On August 3, ~~2021, we paid a quarterly cash distribution on~~2022, the ~~Series A preferred units of approximately $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.~~

Each holder of Class B units has paid five cents per Class B unit to us as an additional capital contribution for the Class B units (such aggregate amount, the “Class B Contribution”) in exchange for Class B units. Each holder of Class B units is entitled to receive cash distributions equal to 2.0% per quarter on their respective Class B Contribution. On August 3, 2021, we paid a quarterly cash distribution to each Class B unitholder, resulting in a total quarterly distribution of $17,612 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

~~On July 23, 2021,~~ Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of ~~$0.31~~$0.55 per common unit representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“common units”) and $0.580177 per common unit of the Operating Company (“OpCo common units”) for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

As to us, $0.030177 of the OpCo common unit distribution corresponds to a tax payment made by us in the second quarter of 2022. Under the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company, we are not reimbursed by the Operating Company for federal income taxes paid by us.

Business Environment

COVID-19 Pandemic and Impact on Global Demand for Oil and Natural Gas

~~The~~COVID-19 remains a global ~~spread of COVID-19 created significant volatility, uncertainty,~~health crisis and economic disruption during 2020 and continuing into early 2021. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic reached more than 200 countries and resulted in widespread adverse impacts on the global economy, our oil, natural gas, and NGL operators and other parties with whom we have business relations, including a significant reduction in the global demand for oil and natural gas during the 2020 period. The significant decline in demand accelerated following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, raising concerns about global storage capacity. The resulting supply and demand imbalance ledthere continues to a significantly weaker outlook for oil and gas producers and had a disruptive impact on the oil and natural gas industry. Globally, these conditions led to significant economic contraction during the 2020 period. In the first half of 2021, both pricing and activity began to improve, with oil prices rising above pre-COVID-19 levels. In spite of further stabilization in the oil and natural gas markets and improved differentials and commodity prices, the we believe that the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and potential supply and demand imbalances in the oil and natural gas markets could have an adverse effect on our business, production, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations during 2021.

~~Our first priority in our response to this crisis has been and will continue to~~ be the health and safety of our employees, the employees of our business counterparties and the community in which we operate. To address these concerns, we have modified certain business practices (including those related to employee travel, employee work locations, and physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”), the WHO and other governmental and regulatory authorities. In mid-March 2020, we restricted access to our offices to only essential employees, and directed

~~Table of Contents~~

the remainder of our employees to work from home to the extent possible. Beginning in mid-May 2020 we opened our offices to employees on a voluntary basis, with employees having the option to work from home. We will continue to give employees the option to work from home until the CDC recommends businesses and employers resume to pre-pandemic operations. These restrictions have had minimal impact on our operations to date and have allowed us to maintain the engagement and connectivity of our personnel, as well as minimize the number of employees in the office.

~~There is~~ considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants. Despite improvements in global economic activity levels and higher energy demand compared to 2021, the impacts of COVID-19 continue to be unpredictable, including the impacts of new virus strains, the risk of renewed restrictions and the uncertainty of successful administration of effective treatments and vaccines. The Partnership is unable to reasonably estimate the period of time that related conditions could exist or the extent to which ~~COVID-19 will continue to spread and~~they could impact the ~~extent and duration~~Partnership’s business, results of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business and government shutdowns. While shelter-in-place restrictions subsided in the second half of 2020 and through 2021, the possibility of future restrictions remains. One of the largest impacts of the pandemic has been a significant reduction in global demand for oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas. This significant decline in demand was met with a sharp decline in oil prices which were exacerbated by the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries. The resulting supply and demand imbalance had disruptive impacts on the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry and on other related industries in 2020. These industry conditions, coupled with those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, led to significant global economic contraction generally and in our industry in particular.

~~Oil and natural gas~~operations, financial condition or cash flows. Commodity prices have ~~historically been volatile;~~risen from 2021; however, further negative impacts from COVID-19 may require the volatility in the prices for these commodities substantially increased for the 2020 period as a result of COVID-19, the OPEC announcements mentioned above and ongoing storage capacity concerns. Oil prices declined sharply in April 2020. Although strip pricing for natural gas has increased meaningfully, the impact of these developments on ourPartnership to adjust its business and the oil and gas industry is unpredictable. We derived approximately 36% of our revenues and 61% of our production on a Boe/d basis (6:1) from natural gas for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which we believe presents some downside protection against depressed oil prices.plan.

The ultimate ~~impacts~~impact of COVID-19 and the volatility in the oil and natural gas markets on ~~our~~the Partnership’s business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations remain dependent on a number of factors, ~~including, among others,~~such as the ~~ultimate severity of COVID-19, the consequences of governmental~~duration and ~~other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the development, availability and administration of effective treatments and vaccines, the duration~~scope of the pandemic, ~~actions taken by members~~the length and severity of the worldwide economic downturn, the ability of OPEC, Russia and other ~~foreign, oil-exporting countries, governmental authorities~~crude oil producing nations to manage the global crude oil supply, additional actions by businesses and ~~other third parties, workforce availability,~~governments in response to the pandemic, the economic downturn and the ~~timing~~decrease in crude oil demand, the speed and ~~extent~~effectiveness of ~~any return~~responses to ~~normal economic~~combat the virus and ~~operating conditions.~~the time necessary to balance crude oil supply and demand to restore crude oil pricing.

Russia / Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in active armed conflict against the country. The conflict and the sanctions imposed in response have led to regional instability and caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets and have increased the level of global economic and political uncertainty, including uncertainty about world-wide oil supply and demand, which in turn has increased volatility in commodity prices.

Commodity Prices and Demand

Oil and natural gas prices have been historically volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. As noted above, the supply and demand imbalance resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak and various OPEC announcements, ~~along with~~ the winter storms experienced in parts of the United States in February 2021 and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine have created increased volatility in oil and natural gas prices. The table below demonstrates such volatility for the periods presented as reported by the United States Energy Information Administration (“EIA”).

Rig Count

Drilling on our acreage is dependent upon the exploration and production companies that lease our acreage. As such, we monitor rig counts in an effort to identify existing and future leasing and drilling activity on our acreage.

The Baker Hughes United States Rotary Rig count increased ~~by 82.9%~~significantly to 730 active land rigs at June 30, 2022 compared to 459 active land rigs at June 30, ~~2021 compared to 251~~2021. The 730 active land rigs at June 30, ~~2020. The 459 active land rigs at June 30, 2021~~2022 increased by ~~10.3%~~11.1% from ~~416~~657 active land rigs at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in rig count is primarily attributable to an uptake in the oil and natural gas market as a result of improved oil and natural gas ~~prices.~~prices and overall supply shortages.

Sources of Our Revenue

Our revenues are derived from royalty payments we receive from our operators based on the sale of oil, natural gas and NGL production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from natural gas during processing. Our revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution on Common Units

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units are used as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures (as defined below) by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating 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 distributions to our unitholders.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), net of depreciation and depletion expense, interest expense, income taxes, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, ~~non-cash unit-based~~non cash unit based compensation, ~~change in fair value of open~~unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, cash distribution from affiliate, ~~and~~ equity income (loss) in ~~affiliate.~~affiliate, gains and losses on sales of assets and operational impacts of VIEs, which include general and administrative expense and interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) 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. We define cash available for distribution on common units as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), oil, natural gas and NGL revenues, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution on common units may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results to Our Historical Results

Our historical financial condition and results of operations may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, to our future financial condition and results of operations, for the reasons described below.

Ongoing Acquisition Activities

Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy, and we expect to pursue acquisitions of mineral and royalty interests from third parties, affiliates of our Sponsors and the Contributing Parties. As a part of these efforts, we often engage in discussions with potential sellers or other parties regarding the possible purchase of or investment in mineral and royalty interests, including in connection with a dropdown of assets from affiliates of our Sponsors and the Contributing Parties. Such efforts may involve participation by us in processes that have been made public and involve a number of potential buyers or investors, commonly referred to as “auction” processes, as well as situations in which we believe we are the only party or one of a limited number of parties who are in negotiations with the potential seller or other

~~Table of Contents~~

party. These acquisition and investment efforts often involve assets which, if acquired or constructed, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Material acquisitions that would impact the comparability of our results for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 include the acquisition of all of the equity interests in ~~Springbok Energy Partners,~~certain subsidiaries owned by Caritas Royalty Fund LLC and ~~Springbok Energy Partners II, LLC~~certain of its affiliates (the ~~“Springbok~~“Cornerstone Acquisition”).

Further, the affiliates of our Sponsors and Contributing Parties have no obligation to sell any assets to us or to accept any offer that we may make for such assets, and we may decide not to acquire such assets even if such parties offer them to us. We may decide to fund any acquisition, including any potential dropdowns, with cash, common units, other equity securities, proceeds from borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility or the issuance of debt securities, or any combination thereof. In addition to acquisitions, we also consider from time to time divestitures that may benefit us and our unitholders.

We typically do not announce a transaction until after we have executed a definitive agreement. Past experience has demonstrated that discussions and negotiations regarding a potential transaction can advance or terminate in a short period of time. Moreover, the closing of any transaction for which we have entered into a definitive agreement may be subject to customary and other closing conditions, which may not ultimately be satisfied or waived. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that our current or future acquisition or investment efforts will be successful or that our strategic asset divestitures will be completed. Although we expect the acquisitions and investments we make to be accretive in the long term, we can provide no assurance that our expectations will ultimately be realized. We will not know the immediate results of any acquisition until after the acquisition closes, and we will not know the long-term results for some time thereafter.

Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Accounting rules require that we periodically review the carrying value of our properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our properties. The net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties are subject to a full-cost ceiling limitation for which the costs are not allowed to exceed their related estimated future net revenues discounted at 10%. To the extent capitalized costs of evaluated oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment, exceed estimated discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, the excess capitalized costs are charged to expense. The risk that we will be required to recognize impairments of our oil and natural gas properties increases during periods of low commodity prices. In addition, impairments would occur if we were to experience ~~sufficient~~significant downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves or the present value of estimated future net revenues. An impairment recognized in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even if higher oil and natural gas prices increase the cost center ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

We did not record an impairment on our oil and natural gas properties for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021. For the three~~2022 and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment on our oil and natural gas properties of $65.5 million and $136.5 million, respectively, which can primarily be attributed to the factors mentioned below.2021.

After evaluating certain external factors in the first quarter of 2020, including a significant decline in oil and natural gas prices related to reduced demand for oil and natural gas as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries and other supply factors, as well as longer-term commodity price outlooks, we determined that significant drilling uncertainty existed regarding our proved undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves that were included in our total estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2019, as well as our unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. Specifically, with respect to our PUD reserves (which accounted for approximately 6.1% of total estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2019), we determined that we did not have reasonable certainty as to the timing of the development of the PUD reserves and, therefore, recorded an impairment on such properties in the first quarter of 2020. We similarly recorded an impairment on the value of our unevaluated oil and natural gas properties in the first quarter of 2020, which primarily were acquired in various acquisitions since our initial public offering. There were no additional impairments to unevaluated properties in the second quarter of 2020.

~~Table of Contents~~

Because we do not intend to book PUD reserves going forward, additional impairment charges could be recorded in connection with future acquisitions. Further, if the price of oil, natural gas and NGLs decreases in future periods, we may be required to record additional impairments as a result of the full-cost ceiling limitation.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 to the Three Months Ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were ~~$38.8~~$78.6 million, an increase of ~~$22.0~~$39.8 million from ~~$16.8~~$38.8 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in oil, natural gas and NGL revenues was directly related to the increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 as discussed below.

Our revenues are a function of oil, natural gas, and NGL production volumes sold and average prices received for those volumes. The production volumes were 1,360,264 Boe or 14,948 Boe/d, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 50,545 Boe or 555 Boe/d, from 1,309,719 Boe or 14,393 Boe/d, for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021, an increase of 49,100 Boe or 139 Boe/d, from 1,260,619 Boe or 14,254 Boe/d, for the three months ended June 30,~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~2020.~~2021. The increase in production for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable

Table of Contents

to production associated with the ~~Springbok~~assets located in the Haynesville, Mid-Continent, Bakken and Rockies basins primarily as a result of the Cornerstone Acquisition, ~~which accounted for 42,506 Boe or 66 Boe/d.~~partially offset by a reduction in production in the Permian and Appalachia basins.

Our operators received an average of $107.96 per Bbl of oil, $6.93 per Mcf of natural gas and $46.10 per Bbl of NGL for the volumes sold during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $63.47 per Bbl of oil, $2.69 per Mcf of natural gas and $25.71 per Bbl of NGL for the volumes sold during the three months ended June 30, ~~2021 compared to $25.40 per Bbl of oil, $1.43 per Mcf of natural gas and $7.54 per Bbl of NGL for the volumes sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~2021. These average prices received during the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 increased ~~149.9%~~70.1% or ~~$38.07~~$44.49 per Bbl of oil and ~~88.1%~~157.6% or ~~$1.26~~$4.24 per Mcf of natural gas as compared to the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. This change is consistent with prices experienced in the market, specifically when compared to the EIA average price increases of ~~136.7%~~64.4% or ~~$38.23~~$42.64 per Bbl of oil and ~~73.5%~~154.2% or ~~$1.25~~$4.55 per Mcf of natural gas for the comparable periods.

Lease Bonus and Other Income

Lease bonus and other income ~~increased by $1.0~~was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021 compared to $0.07 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~2021. The increase in lease bonus and other income is ~~ultimately~~primarily related to an increase in operators’ leasing activity on our acreage, primarily in the Mid-Continent, as a result of the ~~volatility and uncertainty experienced~~increase in ~~the~~ oil and natural gas ~~market for the 2020 period, which discouraged operators from drilling new wells.~~prices.

Loss on Commodity Derivative Instruments

Loss on commodity derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 included $8.8 million of mark-to-market gains and $15.9 million of losses on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments compared to $11.1 million of mark-to-market losses and $3.2 million of losses on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments ~~compared to $6.9 million of mark-to-market losses and $2.9 million of gains on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments~~ for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. We recorded a mark-to-market gain for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the maturity of derivative contracts with lower strike pricing. This gain was offset by the losses on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments. We recorded a mark-to-market loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the increase in strip pricing from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended June 30, 2021. We recorded a mark-to-market loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the increase in strip pricing from the three months ended March 31, 2020 to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

Production and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$2.6~~$5.0 million, an increase of ~~$1.1~~$2.4 million from ~~$1.5~~$2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in production and ad valorem taxes was primarily related to the significant increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022, and to a lesser extent, the Cornerstone Acquisition.

Depreciation and Depletion Expense

Depreciation and depletion expense for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$8.3~~$11.3 million, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$3.7~~$3.0 million from ~~$12.0~~$8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in depreciation and depletion expense was due to ~~the impairment that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020,~~Cornerstone Acquisition, which significantly ~~reduced~~increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.

Depletion is the amount of cost basis of oil and natural gas properties at the beginning of a period attributable to the volume of hydrocarbons extracted during such period, calculated on a units-of-production basis. Estimates of proved developed reserves are a major component in the calculation of depletion. Our average depletion rate per barrel was ~~$6.11~~$8.07 for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021, a decrease~~2022, an increase of ~~$3.37~~$1.96 per barrel from the ~~$9.48 average~~$6.11average depletion rate per barrel for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in the depletion rate was due to the ~~significant impairment~~Cornerstone Acquisition that was ~~recorded during the year ended~~closed in December ~~31, 2020,~~2021 which significantly ~~reduced~~increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.

~~Impairment of Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Expense~~

We did not record an impairment expense on our oil and natural gas properties for the three months ended June 30, 2021. We recorded an impairment expense on our oil and natural gas properties of $65.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The impairment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to a significant decline in the trailing twelve month average of oil and natural gas prices, related to reduced demand for oil and

~~Table of Contents~~

natural gas as a result of COVID-19, the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, and other supply factors.

Marketing and Other Deductions

Our marketing and other deductions include product marketing expense, which is a post-production expense. Marketing and other deductions for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$2.6~~$4.1 million, an increase of ~~$0.6~~$1.5 million from ~~$2.0~~$2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in marketing and other deductions was primarily

Table of Contents

related to the significant increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and to a lesser extent, the Cornerstone Acquisition.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses ~~remained relatively flat at~~for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $7.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $6.7 ~~million and $6.9~~ million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2021. The increase in general and ~~2020, respectively.~~administrative expenses was primarily attributable to legal and professional fees incurred during the quarter related to the special meeting of unitholders of the Partnership (the “Special Meeting”), at which our unitholders approved the adoption of our Amended and Restated Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “A&R LTIP”) and our Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$2.1~~$3.3 million compared to ~~$1.7~~$2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to debt incurred in ~~2020~~2021 to fund the ~~Springbok~~redemption of the Series A preferred units and the Cornerstone Acquisition. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was a 1.0% increase in the weighted average interest rate on the Partnership’s outstanding borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The income tax expense recorded during the three months ended was due to the significant increase in commodity prices which generated forecasted taxable net income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 to the Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were ~~$75.2~~$143.7 million, an increase of ~~$32.8~~$68.5 million from ~~$42.4~~$75.2 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in oil, natural gas and NGL revenues was directly related to the increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 as discussed below.

Our revenues are a function of oil, natural gas, and NGL production volumes sold and average prices received for those volumes. The production volumes were 2,763,025 Boe or 14,763 Boe/d, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 218,416 Boe or 704 Boe/d, from 2,544,609 Boe or 14,059 Boe/d, for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021, an increase of 68,428 Boe or 454 Boe/d, from 2,476,181 Boe or 13,605 Boe/d, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~2021. The increase in production for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to production associated with the ~~Springbok~~assets located in the Haynesville, Mid-Continent, Bakken and Rockies basins primarily as a result of the Cornerstone Acquisition, ~~which accounted for 222,572 Boe. The increase was~~partially offset by a reduction in production ~~on our other assets as a result of~~in the COVID-19 outbreak and international supply and demand imbalances and, to a lesser extent, the winter storms experienced in parts of the United States in February 2021, which caused the temporary shut-in of certain properties in which we have an interest.

~~(Loss) Gain~~Loss on Commodity Derivative Instruments

Loss on commodity derivative instruments for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 included $13.7 million of mark-to-market losses and $25.3 million of losses on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments compared to $24.2 million of mark-to-market losses and $4.1 million of losses on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments ~~compared to $2.1 million of mark-to-market gains and $4.0 million of gains on the settlement of commodity derivative instruments~~ for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. We recorded a mark-to-market loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the increase in the strip pricing of oil and natural gas from the three months ended December 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an increase in strip pricing from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded a mark-to-market loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the increase in strip pricing from the three months ended December 31, 2020 to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and an increase in strip pricing from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The mark-to-market gain for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was attributable to the decrease in the price of oil and natural gas contracts relative to the fixed-price in our open derivative contracts, which was partially offset by the increase in volumes hedged due to the Springbok Acquisition.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

Production and ad valorem taxes for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$5.0~~$9.0 million, an increase of ~~$1.9~~$4.0 million from ~~$3.1~~$5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in production and ad valorem taxes was primarily ~~attributable~~related to the significant increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, and to a lesser extent, ~~production and ad valorem taxes associated with~~ the ~~Springbok~~Cornerstone Acquisition.

Depreciation and Depletion Expense

The ~~decrease~~increase in the depletion rate was due to the ~~significant impairment~~Cornerstone Acquisition that was ~~recorded during the year ended~~closed in December ~~31, 2020,~~2021 which significantly ~~reduced~~increased our net capitalized oil and natural gas properties.

~~Impairment of Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Expense~~

We did not record an impairment expense on our oil and natural gas properties for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We recorded an impairment expense on our oil and natural gas properties of $136.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The impairment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to a significant decline in the trailing twelve month average of oil and natural gas prices, related to reduced demand for oil and natural gas as a result of COVID-19, the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, and other supply factors.

Marketing and Other Deductions

Our marketing and other deductions include product marketing expense, which is a post-production expense. Marketing and other deductions for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$5.8~~$7.6 million, an increase of ~~$1.6~~$1.8 million from ~~$4.2~~$5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020, which~~2021. The increase in marketing and other deductions was primarily ~~attributable~~related to the ~~Springbok~~significant increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and to a lesser extent, the Cornerstone Acquisition.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses ~~remained relatively flat at~~for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $14.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million from $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021 compared~~2021.

expense was a 0.68% increase in the weighted average interest rate on the Partnership’s outstanding borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded an income tax expense of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The income tax expense recorded during the six months ended was due to the significant increase in commodity prices which generated forecasted taxable net income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and equity and debt financings and our primary uses of cash are for distributions to our unitholders and for growth capital expenditures, including the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties. See “Indebtedness” below for further discussion of our secured revolving credit facility.

Cash Distribution Policy

The limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company requires it to distribute all of its cash on hand at the end of each quarter in an amount equal to its available cash for such quarter. In turn, our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our cash on hand at the end of each quarter in an amount equal to our available cash for such quarter. Available cash for each quarter will be determined by the Board of Directors following the end of such quarter. “Available cash,” as used in this context, is defined in the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company and our partnership agreement. We expect that the Operating Company’s available cash for each quarter will generally equal its Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, less cash needed for debt service and other contractual obligations and fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate, and we expect that our available cash for each quarter will generally equal our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter (and will be our proportional share of the available cash distributed by the Operating Company for that quarter), less cash needs for debt service and other contractual obligations, tax obligations, fixed charges and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the Board of Directors may determine is appropriate.

In light of the unprecedented global economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the related impact to the United States oil and natural gas markets and the potential for further curtailments of production, the Board of Directors approved the allocation of 25% of our cash available for distribution on common units for the second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 for the repayment of ~~$6.3~~$12.2 million in outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility during its determination of “available cash” for the second quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. With respect to future quarters, the Board of Directors intends to continue to allocate a portion of our cash available for distribution on common units to the repayment of outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility and may allocate such cash in other manners in which the Board of Directors determines to be appropriate at the time. The Board of Directors may further change its policy with respect to cash distributions in the future.

We do not currently maintain a material reserve of cash for the purpose of maintaining stability or growth in our quarterly distribution, nor do we intend to incur debt to pay quarterly distributions, although the Board of Directors may change this policy.

It is our intent, subject to market conditions, to finance acquisitions of mineral and royalty interests that increase our asset base largely through external sources, such as borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility and the issuance of equity and debt securities. ~~For example, we issued 2,224,358 common units and 2,497,134 OpCo common units and an equal number of Class B units as partial consideration in connection with the Springbok Acquisition.~~ The Board of Directors may choose to reserve a portion of cash generated from operations to finance such acquisitions as well. We do not currently intend to (i) maintain excess distribution coverage for the purpose of maintaining stability or growth in our quarterly distribution, (ii) otherwise reserve cash for distributions or (iii) incur debt to pay quarterly distributions, although the Board of Directors may do so if they believe it is warranted. See “Recent Developments—Quarterly Distributions” above for discussion of our ~~first~~second quarter ~~2021~~2022 distributions.

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flow is impacted by many variables, the most significant of which are changes in oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes due to acquisitions or other external factors and changes in prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs. 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. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$44.0~~$76.5 million, an increase of ~~$8.5~~$32.5 million compared to ~~$35.5~~$44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the increase in the average prices we received for oil, natural gas and NGL production for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021 decreased by $87.5~~2022 were $234.0 million compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used $0.7 million primarily to fund the renovation of office space and $0.5 million primarily to fund the acquisition of assets from Nail Bay Royalties, LLC ~~(“Nail Bay Royalties”)~~ and Oil Nut Bay Royalties, LP, ~~(“Oil Nut Bay”),~~ partially offset by a $0.2 million cash distribution received in connection ~~with a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with Springbok SKR Capital Company, LLC and Rivercrest Capital Partners, LP~~the Joint Venture during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used $87.4 million primarily to fund the Springbok Acquisition and $1.3 million to fund the capital commitments of the Joint Venture, partially offset by a $0.2 million cash distribution received in connection with the Joint Venture.

Financing Activities

~~Capital Expenditures~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid approximately $0.5 million primarily in connection with the acquisition of assets from Nail Bay Royalties and Oil Nut Bay. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid approximately $87.4 million primarily in connection with the Springbok Acquisition.

Indebtedness

On ~~January 11, 2017, we~~June 7, 2022, the Partnership entered into ~~a credit agreement~~Amendment No. 3 (the ~~“2017 Credit Agreement”) with Frost Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. On July 12, 2018 we entered into an amendment (the “First~~“Third Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the ~~2017~~Partnership’s existing Credit Agreement, ~~(the~~dated as of January 11, 2017 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2018, and that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2020, and as otherwise amended or modified prior to such date, the “Credit Agreement” and the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Credit Agreement Amendment, the “2018 Amended Credit Agreement”). On December 8, 2020, we entered into the Second Credit Agreement Amendment to the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement (the 2018 Amended Credit Agreement as amended by the SecondThird Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”)~~. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, availability under our secured revolving credit facility will continue to equal the lesser~~, with certain subsidiaries of the ~~aggregate maximum elected commitments of~~Partnership, as guarantors, the lenders ~~which may be increased up to $500.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions~~party thereto and ~~the election of existing lenders to increase commitments or the procurement of additional commitments from new lenders, and the borrowing base.~~ Citibank as administrative agent.

The ~~Second~~Third Credit Agreement Amendment amended the ~~2018 Amended~~ Credit Agreement to, ~~extend~~among other things, (i) increase (1) the ~~maturity date thereunder from February 8, 2022 to June 7, 2024.~~

~~The Second Credit Agreement Amendment increased~~ aggregate elected commitments under the ~~2018~~ Amended Credit ~~Agreement from $225.0 million to $265.0 million providing for maximum availability of $265.0 million. The Amended Credit Agreement permits aggregate commitments under the~~Agreement’s senior secured revolving credit facility ~~to be increased up to $500.0 million, subject to the limitations of our borrowing base~~(the “Credit Facility”) and satisfaction of certain conditions, including the election of existing lenders to increase commitments or the procurement of additional commitments from new lenders and the borrowing base.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional debt, make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, common units and OpCo common units, make certain investments and acquisitions, incur certain liens or permit them to exist, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company and transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring us to maintain the following financial ratios or to reduce our indebtedness if we are unable to comply with such ratios: (i) a Debt to EBITDAX Ratio (as ~~more fully~~ defined in the secured revolving credit facility) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0; and (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations, cross default, bankruptcy and change of control.

Tax Matters

Even though we are organized as a limited partnership under state law, we are treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we are subject to United States federal income tax at regular corporate rates on our net taxable income. We estimate that approximately 50% of our second quarter 2022 distribution will constitute a non-taxable reduction to the tax basis of unitholders’ common units. The reduced tax basis will increase unitholders’ capital gain (or decrease unitholders’ capital loss) when unitholders sell their common units. We currently ~~expect~~believe that ~~(i) we will pay no material~~the portion that constitutes dividends for U.S. federal income ~~taxes through 2027~~

~~Table~~tax purposes will be considered qualified dividends, subject to holding period and certain other conditions, which are subject to a tax rate of ~~Contents~~

The estimates above are based on currently available information only and ~~(ii) substantially all distributions (more than 95%) paid~~are subject to ~~our common unitholders will not be taxable dividend income through 2025.~~change.

Distributions in excess of the amount taxable as dividend income will reduce a common unitholder's tax basis in its common units or produce capital gain to the extent they exceed a common unitholder's tax basis. Any reduced tax basis will increase a common unitholder's capital gain when it sells its common units. The estimates described above are the result of certain non-cash expenses (principally depletion) substantially offsetting our taxable income and tax "earnings and profits." Our estimates of the tax treatment of earnings and distributions are based upon assumptions regarding the capital structure and earnings of the Operating Company, our capital structure and the amount of the earnings of the

Operating Company allocated to us. Many factors may impact these estimates, including changes in drilling and production activity, commodity prices, future acquisitions or changes in the business, economic, regulatory, legislative, competitive or political environment in which we operate. These estimates are based on current tax law and tax reporting positions that we have adopted and with which the Internal Revenue Service could disagree. These estimates are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and no assurances can be made regarding these estimates. You are encouraged to consult with your tax advisor on this matter.

New and Revised Financial Accounting Standards

The effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates

~~There~~Other than those noted below related to TGR, there have been no substantial changes to our critical accounting policies and related estimates from those previously disclosed in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Consolidation

We analyze whether we have a variable interest in an entity and whether that entity is a VIE to determine whether we are required to consolidate those entities. We perform the variable interest analysis for all entities in which we have a potential variable interest, which primarily consist of all entities in which we serve as the sponsor, general partner or managing member, and general partner entities not wholly owned by us. If we have a variable interest in the entity and the entity is a VIE, we will also analyze whether we are the primary beneficiary of this entity and whether consolidation is required.

In evaluating whether we have a variable interest in the entity, we review the equity ownership and the extent to which we absorb the risk created and distributed by the entity, as well as whether the fees charged to the entity are customary and commensurate with the level of effort required to provide services. Fees received by us are not variable interests if (i) the fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, (ii) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length and (iii) our other economic interests in the VIE held directly and indirectly through its related parties, as well as economic interests held by related parties under common control, where applicable, would not absorb more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s benefits. Evaluation of these criteria requires judgment.

For entities determined to be VIEs, we must then evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary of such VIEs. To make this determination, we evaluate our economic interests in the entity, specifically determining if we have both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “benefits”). When making the determination on whether the benefits received from an entity are significant, we consider the total economics of the entity, and analyze whether our share of the economics is significant. We utilize qualitative factors, and, where applicable, quantitative factors, while performing the analysis.

VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary have been included in our consolidated financial statements. The portion of the consolidated subsidiaries owned by third parties and any related activity is eliminated through non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investments Held in Trust by Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Investments held in trust represent an actively-traded money market fund of TGR, a consolidated special purpose acquisition company, which investments are invested in U.S. Treasury securities purchased with funds raised through the TGR IPO. Investments held in trust are classified as trading securities and are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in other income (expense)—interest earned on marketable securities in trust account on the accompanying unaudited

Table of Contents

interim consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the trust account are determined using quoted prices in an active market and therefore are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 5—Fair Value Measurements.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent the shares of TGR Class A common stock sold in the TGR IPO that are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders concurrently with TGR’s initial business combination or in the event of TGR’s failure to complete the Business Combination or a tender offer. The redeemable non-controlling interests are initially recorded at their original issue price, net of issuance costs and the initial fair value of separately traded warrants. The carrying amount was accreted to its full redemption value at June 30, 2022.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations previously disclosed in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. See Note 7—Leases to the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our operating leases.

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, natural gas and NGL production of our operators. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our natural gas production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGL production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect commodity prices to be even more volatile in the future as a result of COVID-19, ongoing international supply and demand imbalances and limited international storage capacity. The prices that our operators receive for production depend on many factors outside of our or their control. To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices on our revenues, we entered into commodity derivative contracts to reduce our exposure to price volatility of oil and natural gas. The ~~counterparty~~counterparties to the contracts ~~is an~~are unrelated third ~~party.~~parties.

Our commodity derivative contracts consist of fixed price swaps, under which we receive a fixed price for the contract and pay a floating market price to the counterparty over a specified period for a contracted volume.

Our oil fixed price swap transactions are settled based upon the average daily prices for the calendar month of the contract period, and our natural gas fixed price swap transactions are settled based upon the last day settlement of the first nearby month futures contract of the contract period. Settlement for oil derivative contracts occurs in the succeeding month and natural gas derivative contracts are settled in the production month.

Because we have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, changes in fair values of our derivative contracts will be recognized as gains and losses in current period earnings. As a result, our current period earnings may be significantly affected by changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts.

~~Table of Contents~~

Changes in fair value are principally measured based on future prices as of period-end compared to the contract price. See Note 4—Derivatives to the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our commodity derivatives.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Our derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require our counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, we do evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as we deem appropriate. This evaluation includes reviewing a counterparty’s credit rating and latest financial information. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~two~~four counterparties to our derivative contracts, which are also lenders under our secured revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

As an owner of mineral and royalty interests, we have no control over the volumes or method of sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from the underlying properties. It is believed that the loss of any single purchaser would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We will have exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had total borrowings outstanding under our secured revolving credit facility of ~~$162.9~~$216.1 million. The impact of a 1% increase in the interest rate on this amount of debt could result in an increase in interest expense of approximately ~~$1.6~~$2.2 million annually, assuming that our indebtedness remained constant throughout the year.

On January 27, 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap with Citibank, which fixed the interest rate on $150.0 million of the notional balance on our secured revolving credit facility. On May 17, 2022 we entered into a partial termination agreement with Citibank to unwind 50% of the current interest rate swap. Following the partial termination, $75.0 million of the notional balance on our secured revolving credit facility is secured by a fixed interest rate (which represented approximately ~~92%~~35% of our outstanding balance as of June 30, ~~2021)~~2022), at approximately 3.9% for the period ending on January 29, 2024. We use an interest rate swap for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as the interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of our secured revolving credit facility from a floating to a fixed rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we recognized a ~~$0.05~~$0.9 million ~~loss~~ and ~~$0.4~~$4.6 million, respectively, gain on interest rate swaps ~~respectively,~~ which ~~are~~is included in other income in the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated statements of operations.

Inflation

Inflation in the United States did not have a material impact on results of operations for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. However, inflation in wages and other costs has the potential to adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position by increasing our overall cost structure. In addition, the existence of inflation in the economy has the potential to result in higher interest rates, which could result in higher borrowing costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and other similar effects.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our General Partner, including our General Partner’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ~~provide reasonable assurance~~ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our General Partner’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the ~~U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).~~SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our General Partner’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of the Partnership’s legal proceedings, see Note ~~14—~~15—Commitments and Contingencies to the unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report, ~~particularly the risk factor disclosed below and those disclosed~~included in Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, you should carefully consider the risks set out under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The unprecedented nature of the current pandemic and the volatility in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry may make it more difficult to identify all the risks to our business, results of operations and financial condition and the ultimate impact of identified risks. Further, these risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We will be subject to a number of uncertainties while we pursue the initial public offering of Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation (“TGR”), and during the timeframe when TGR pursues a business combination, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and common unit price.

While we have announced our intention to pursue an initial public offering of TGR, a newly formed special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) and our subsidiary, there has recently been heightened regulatory focus on SPACs, including recently issued accounting guidance, resulting in substantial uncertainty in the SPAC markets. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate TGR’s initial public offering on favorable terms or at all. Further, in the event the initial public offering of TGR is completed, accounting guidance applicable to SPACs could be revisited, potentially necessitating restatements of TGR’s financial statements, which could then impact and necessitate restatements of our financial statements, as well as leading to delays as TGR pursues a suitable business transaction and requiring us to devote extensive management and employee attention and resources to these matters.

If we are unable to consummate TGR’s initial public offering on favorable terms or at all, or if we complete the initial public offering and TGR is unable to consummate a suitable business transaction during the prescribed time period, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our unitholders. In addition, in the event that TGR is able to find a suitable business combination, or if the business combination is unsuccessful, there is no assurance that we will realize the anticipated value from such transaction. Further, we will be required to devote significant management and employee attention and resources to matters relating to the initial public offering and the business combination. These matters have the potential to disrupt us from conducting business operations or pursuing other business strategies and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

~~Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds~~

On May 17, 2021, we issued 998,854 common units to Springbok Energy Partners II Holdings, LLC in exchange for 998,854 OpCo common units and an equal number of Class B units pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2018 (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among Haymaker Minerals & Royalties, LLC, EIGF Aggregator III LLC, TE Drilling Aggregator LLC, Haymaker Management, LLC, the Kimbell Art Foundation, us, the General Partner, the Operating Company and the other holders of OpCo Common Units and Class B Units from time to time party thereto.

On May 25, 2021, we issued 2,169,348 common units to Buckhorn Resources GP, LLC, Buckhorn Minerals I GP, LP, Buckhorn Minerals I, LP, Buckhorn Minerals II, LP, Buckhorn Minerals III, LP, Buckhorn Minerals Ill-QP, LP,

~~and Buckhorn Minerals IV, LP in exchange for 2,169,348 OpCo common units and an equal number of Class B units pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement.~~

All of the common units shown above were withheld during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to satisfy tax-withholding obligations arising in conjunction with the vesting of restricted units. The required withholding is calculated using the closing sales price per common unit reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the date prior to the applicable vesting date.

~~We did not have at any time during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and currently do not have, a common unit repurchase program in place.~~
