/PRNewswire/ — The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of
$0.14
per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, payable on
May 26, 2021
to owners of record on
May 14
, 2021. Natural gas sold during the first calendar quarter of 2021 is the primary source of royalty income on which the
May 2021
distribution is based.
John R. Van Kirk
, Managing Director, reported that this year’s quarterly distribution of
$0.14
per unit is 27.27%, or
$0.03
per unit, higher than the distribution of
$0.11
per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. For the quarter ending
April 30, 2021
, the impact on royalty income of lower gas sales and gas prices was largely offset by a higher average exchange rate. There were no adjustments during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to a negative adjustment of
($137,944)
during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. In addition, stable anticipated royalty payments during the upcoming quarter enabled the higher distribution.
The Trust receives all of its royalties under two royalty agreements. The Mobil Agreement, which is the higher royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the western half of the Oldenburg concession. The OEG Agreement, which is the lower royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the entire Oldenburg concession. The factors determining the amount of gas royalties payable under the two agreements from the preceding calendar quarter are shown in the table below comparing the first calendar quarters of 2021 and 2020. Further details will be included in the earnings press release scheduled for publication on or about
May 14, 2021
