Viper Increases Base Dividend to $2.00 per Share

The company also announced that effective Q3 the board of directors of Viper has approved a 32% increase to its base dividend, or an amount equal to $2.00 per Class A share annually. This increased base dividend, which would imply a 4.5% annualized yield at today's stock price, is expected to be fully protected down to approximately $30 per barrel WTI and will represent approximately 50% of cash available for distribution at $70 per barrel WTI. With this announced increase to the base dividend and a further commitment to prioritize steady growth of the dividend, the company additionally announced that it will be removing its quarterly commitment to return at least 75% of cash available for distribution. Van't Hof continued, "Separately, today we announced an important evolution of our return of capital strategy. Our Board approved a 32% increase to our base dividend to $2.00 per Class A share annually, a level we expect to be fully protected down to approximately $30 per barrel WTI and which represents approximately 50% of cash available for distribution at $70 per barrel WTI. With this increase, and a commitment to grow the base dividend steadily over time, we are moving away from our commitment to return at least 75% of cash available for distribution each quarter. We believe a single, durable and growing base dividend, rather than a variable payout that fluctuates with commodity prices, best showcases what differentiates Viper: an industry-leading, low-breakeven yield paired with consistent per-share growth. The flexibility created by retaining excess cash flow will allow us to continue to opportunistically repurchase shares, reduce debt and pursue a disciplined M&A strategy, all of which we expect to compound value for our stockholders over the long term."

Reports Q2 average production of 65,077 bo/d. "The second quarter continued the trend of strong execution for Viper, highlighted by steady development activity from both Diamondback and our third-party operators across our high-quality asset base, as well as a continuation of our differentiated acquisition strategy. Reflecting this momentum, we are increasing our full year 2026 production guidance while initiating third quarter guidance that implies continued growth in oil production per share driven by both organic and inorganic growth," said Kaes Van't Hof, Chief Executive Officer of Viper.

Viper Announces Riverbend Acquisition and 5.5% Dividend

Sees Q2 production 64-65 Mbo/d. Van't Hof continued, "Viper further delivered on our comprehensive capital allocation strategy, which we are uniquely positioned to execute given our capital-light business model and high free cash flow margins. During the quarter, we paid down nearly $600 million in debt, repurchased almost $100 million in shares and are now set to pay a dividend providing an approximate 5.5% annualized yield. We also today announced the Riverbend Acquisition, which is a continuation of our strategy to consolidate the highly fragmented minerals and royalty sector in an accretive, yet disciplined, manner."
