Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Mix Shift: While total operating revenue remained relatively flat for the quarter ($1.73M vs $1.75M prior year), the composition shifted significantly. Oil sales revenue decreased 14.4% due to lower realized prices ($64.74/bbl vs $74.86/bbl), while natural gas sales revenue surged 85.1% driven by higher volumes and prices ($1.89/mcf vs $1.30/mcf).
- Profitability: Net income for the quarter increased slightly to $323,506 from $317,198 in the prior year, primarily due to a lower effective tax rate (15% vs 26%) despite higher depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) expenses.
- Capital Expenditures: Investing cash outflows decreased significantly to $870,212 for the six months ended Sept 30, 2025, compared to $2.07M in the prior year period, reflecting a reduction in additions to oil and gas properties.
- Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $992,737 during the six-month period, resulting in a strong cash position of $2.75M.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Development Plans: Management plans to participate in the drilling of 46 horizontal wells and one vertical well for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, at an estimated cost of $1,000,000. Recent completions in the Delaware Basin have shown initial production rates ranging from 926 to 1,697 BOE per day.
- Acquisitions: The company has been active in acquiring royalty interests. Subsequent to the reporting period (October 2025), Mexco acquired interests in wells in Louisiana, Texas, and New Mexico for a total of $322,000.
- Investments: The company fully funded a $2.0M equity investment in a limited liability company focused on mineral interests in Ohio. In October 2025, an additional $200,000 was expended to exercise an option for a voluntary cash call.
- Risks: Primary risks include commodity price volatility (WTI oil ranged $53.11–$76.02 in the last 12 months) and pipeline capacity constraints in the Permian Basin affecting natural gas pricing. The company has no hedging agreements in place.
- Dividends: A regular annual dividend of $0.10 per share was declared and paid in June 2025. No dividends were declared for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
