What the filing says
On July 21, 2026, San Juan Basin Royalty Trust announced it will not declare a monthly cash distribution for July 2026 due to excess production costs of $9.6M gross ($7.2M net) accumulated from Hilcorp's 2024 horizontal well drilling, combined with depressed natural gas prices ($1.23/Mcf in May vs $1.28 in April). The Trust will receive zero royalty income until excess costs are repaid, a $2M reserve is replenished, and a $998.8K line of credit is satisfied. Hilcorp also removed 5 of 9 planned vertical wells (~$450K capex reduction) from its 2026 development plan.
Why this rating
Suspension of all cash distributions to unitholders is material. Trust is underwater on operations; debt-funded, reserve-depleted. Recovery timeline uncertain, dependent on gas prices and cost recovery.
