Summary
WhiteHawk Minerals reported its first quarterly results as a public company, with record production of 70.0 MMcfe/d, up 57% year-over-year and 9% sequentially. Revenue reached $29.1 million, up 38% from the prior year, though the company posted a net loss of $39.2 million due to one-time IPO-related charges. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.7 million and cash available for distribution was $17.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. The company also announced $111.8 million of mineral and royalty acquisitions since its June IPO, anchored by a $105 million deal with San Jacinto Minerals II, expected to add $17-18.5 million of incremental cash flow in 2027-2028. Management initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share ($2.00 annualized), with an initial prorated payment of $0.11 per share payable August 28. The stock trades near its 52-week low of $25.34, suggesting the market has not yet priced in the acquisition-driven growth or the new dividend. The conference call is scheduled for August 13 at 9:00 a.m. ET, where management will likely provide further details on the acquisition pipeline and 2027 cash flow outlook.
