Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PHX Minerals Reports Record Royalty Volumes for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024;
Increases Fixed Quarterly Dividend Payment 33%
FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 7, 2024 – PHX MINERALS INC., “PHX” or the “Company” (NYSE: PHX), today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Summary of Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
Subsequent Events
Chad L. Stephens, President and CEO, commented, “The operational and financial results for the second quarter again provide compelling evidence about the quality of our asset base. Royalty production reached record levels during the quarter, and we had a strong conversion of high interest high impact wells driving robust quarter-over-quarter production growth. As we have explained in prior quarters, our royalty volumes can be lumpy depending on the timing of these high interest high impact wells. Our wells in progress metric remains strong, including several other high interest high impact wells. This demonstrates the continued operator activity on our minerals, despite the dramatic year over year decrease in the rig count impacted by the current commodity price environment. We do not control pace of development or well completion timing, thus, we expect continued quarterly lumpiness in our volumes.”
“Our strong cash generation enabled us to reduce our debt by another $2 million, lowering our debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio from 1.58x to 1.32x further strengthening our balance sheet,” continued Mr. Stephens. “Our financial performance enabled us to again increase our quarterly cash dividend, which has now risen 400% since early 2020. Our financial strength also provides the necessary liquidity to further explore the acquisition of premium mineral assets.”

Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 Results
The Company recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net loss of ($0.04) million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The change in net income was principally the result of increased natural gas, oil and NGL sales, decreased general and administrative expenses, and increased gains on asset sales, partially offset by increased losses associated with our derivative contracts and increased income tax provision.
Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue increased $2.6 million, or 36%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, due to increases in natural gas and oil volumes of 33% and 26%, respectively, and increases in natural gas, oil, and NGL prices of 7%, 5%, and 25%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in NGL volumes of 6%.
The increase in royalty production volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulted primarily from new wells being brought online in the Haynesville Shale. The production decrease in working interest volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulted from natural production decline.
The Company had a net loss on derivative contracts of ($0.4) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, comprised of a $1.2 million gain on settled derivatives and a ($1.6) million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company’s settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in June 30, 2024 pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Results
The Company recorded net income of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to a net income of $9.5 million, or $0.26 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in net income was principally the result of a decrease in natural gas, oil and NGL sales, a decrease in gains associated with our hedge contracts, and a decrease in gains on asset sales, partially offset by a decrease in income tax provision.
Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to decreases in oil and NGL volumes of 6% and 4%, respectively, and a decrease in gas prices of 25%, partially offset by an increase in gas volumes of 9% and increases in oil and NGL prices of 2% and 3%, respectively.

The production increase in royalty volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulted primarily from new wells in the Haynesville Shale coming online. The production decrease in working interest volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulted from natural production decline and divestitures of working interest properties.
The Company had a net gain on derivative contracts of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compromised of a $2.9 million gain on settled derivatives and a $2.6 million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company’s settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in June 30, 2024 pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company converted 55 gross (0.40 net) wells to producing status, including 28 gross (0.30 net) wells in the Haynesville and 14 gross (0.07 net) wells in the SCOOP, compared to 81 gross (0.30 net) wells converted in the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
This press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in the Company’s financial statements. These measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes thereto), included in the Company’s SEC filings and posted on its website.
Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
The Company defines “adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, excluding non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives and gains (losses) on asset sales and including cash receipts from (payments on) off-market derivatives and restricted stock and deferred directors’ expense. The Company has included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA because it recognizes that certain investors consider this amount to be a useful means of measuring the Company’s ability to meet its debt service obligations and evaluating its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters indicated:

Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) Reconciliation
“Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM)” is defined as the ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing 12-month (TTM) basis. The Company has included a presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) because it recognizes that certain investors consider such ratios to be a useful means of measuring the Company’s ability to meet its debt service obligations and for evaluating its financial performance. The debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.

No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that the company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. The words “anticipates”, “plans”, “estimates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “will”, “should”, “may” and similar expressions may be used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: our ability to execute our business strategies; the volatility of realized natural gas and oil prices; the level of production on our properties; estimates of quantities of natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and their values; general economic or industry conditions; legislation or regulatory requirements; conditions of the securities markets; our ability to raise capital; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; financial or political instability; acts of war or terrorism; title defects in the properties in which we invest; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory or technical factors affecting our properties, operations or prices. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance such statements will prove to be correct. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the results to differ materially from those expected by the Company’s management. Information concerning these risks and other factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, available on the Company's website or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update the forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. PHX defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, excluding unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and gains (losses) on asset sales and including cash receipts from (payments on) off-market derivatives and restricted stock and deferred directors’ expense. PHX references Adjusted EBITDA in this presentation because it recognizes that certain investors consider Adjusted EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Oil and Gas Reserves The SEC generally permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. The Company discloses only estimated proved reserves in its filings with the SEC. The Company’s estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2023, referenced in this presentation were prepared by Cawley, Gillespie and Associates, Inc, an independent engineering firm, and comply with definitions promulgated by the SEC. Additional information on the Company’s estimated proved reserves is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Robust Acquisition Process 24 PHX believes that being the aggregator of choice in our core areas is a key component of our strategy Royalties, just like any other hydrocarbon asset class, are naturally depleting assets and reinvestment is required to maintain and grow cash flows over time We target minerals in our core areas (SCOOP and Haynesville) with full analysis of geology and established type curves in order to minimize execution risk Typical profile of acquisitions includes an already producing component as well as royalties that are either in the process of being developed (WIPs) or will be developed over time (locations) by reputable and creditworthy operators to minimize timing risk Focused on active operators in order to minimize development timing risk Our acquisition program targets returns well in excess of our cost of capital (see ROCE) to drive increasing shareholder value IRR Payback MOIC Commodity Pricing Geology Type Curves Title Review Takeaway Capacity Basin Differentials Development Timing Inputs Requirements PHX’s A&D Methodology
