KEENE, N.H., Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a distribution of $0.05 per unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, payable on February 28, 2024 to owners of record on February 16, 2024 .
The Trust receives its royalties under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements as detailed in the 2023 10-K on the Trust's website. The Trust's monthly royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties payable to the Trust in the prior quarter. End of quarter royalty adjustments result from the need to align scheduled royalty payments from the operating companies with actual royalties that should have been paid. When actual prices and volumes are reported, there will be a positive reconciliation in the current quarter or a negative reconciliation in the subsequent quarter. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, there remained a negative adjustment of Euros 200,113 under the OEG Agreement. The earlier negative adjustments under the Mobil Agreement have been fully offset.
With the first scheduled payments to be received by the Trust in February 2024, the negative carryover adjustments from previous quarters will be offset. The scheduled payments in March and April 2024 will not be encumbered by negative carryover adjustments. Therefore, the Trustees anticipate a higher distribution in the second quarter of 2024.
Additional details will be included in the earnings press release scheduled for publication on or about February 15, 2024 .
