BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE: BPT) announced that unitholders will receive a dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The dividend information is as follows:

As provided in the Trust Agreement, the quarterly royalty payment by Hilcorp North Slope, LLC to the Trust is the sum of the individual revenues attributed to the Trust as calculated each day during the quarter. The amount of revenue is determined by multiplying Royalty Production for each day in the calendar quarter by the Per Barrel Royalty for that day. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Per Barrel Royalty for any day is the WTI Price for the day less the sum of (i) Chargeable Costs multiplied by the Cost Adjustment Factor and (ii) Production Taxes.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Per Barrel Royalty was calculated based on the following information:

The average daily closing WTI price was above the “break-even” price for the quarter, resulting in a quarterly payment with respect to the Royalty Interest of $30,341,265 to the Trust, after the addition of $7,290 representing an underpayment to the Trust for quarter ended March 31, 2022. In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee will pay all accrued expenses of the Trust, then distribute the excess, if any, of the cash received by the Trust over the Trust’s expenses to unitholders. After paying the Trust’s expenses accrued through June 30, 2022, $30,065,952 is available for distribution to unitholders.
