Analysis · BSM · Energy & Transportation
A standout quarter for Black Stone Minerals saw Adjusted EBITDA reach $91.3M, beating consensus by 20%, while net income swung dramatically to $106.4M from $13.3M in Q1. The board's decision to raise the distribution 7% to $0.32/unit underscores confidence in the durability of cash flows. Although production dipped 9% sequentially on lower Haynesville gas volumes, higher realized oil prices and a $35.6M non-cash derivative gain more than offset the decline. The balance sheet also improved, with debt falling to $168M. Notably, the filing corrected an earlier error that had overstated Q2 acquisition spending by $11.5M. With development agreements advancing and a new Caturus pilot well underway, the Partnership is executing on its organic growth strategy while returning more cash to unitholders.
