CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”):


-	Net profits income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO Energy”), the owner of the underlying properties, to Argent Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Trust. XTO Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Net profits income consists of net proceeds received by XTO Energy from the underlying properties in the prior month, multiplied by a net profits percentage of 90% for the 90% net profits interests, and 75% for the 75% net profits interests.

-	Costs deducted in the calculation of net proceeds for the 90% net profits interests generally include applicable taxes, transportation, marketing and legal costs. In addition to those costs, the 75% net profits interests include deductions for production expense, development costs, operating charges and other costs.

-	Net profits income is computed separately for each of the five conveyances under which the net profits interests were conveyed to the Trust. If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from the other conveyances.

-	Interest income and distribution payable to unitholders include interest earned on the previous month’s investment.

-	Trust expenses are recorded based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established by the Trustee for liabilities and contingencies.

-	Distributions to unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trustee.

The Trust’s financial statements differ from those prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP because revenues are recognized when received rather than accrued in the month of production, expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred, and certain cash reserves may be established by the Trustee for contingencies which would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts.

Most accounting pronouncements apply to entities whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, directing such entities to accrue or defer revenues and expenses in a period other than when such revenues were received or expenses were paid. Because the Trust’s financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis, as described above, most accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the Trust’s financial statements.

Impairment of Net Profits Interests

The Trustee reviews the Trust’s net profits interests (“NPI”) in oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the NPI may not be recoverable. In general, the Trustee does not view temporarily low prices as an indication of impairment. The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a history of significant price volatility, and though prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand. If events and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, the Trustee would use the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI to evaluate the recoverability of the Trust assets. If the undiscounted future net cash flows from the NPI are less than the NPI carrying value, the Trust would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the NPI carrying value and the estimated fair value of the NPI. The determination as to whether the NPI is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by the Trustee and is based on the best information available to the Trustee at the time of the evaluation, including

Table of Contents

commodity pricing and other information provided by XTO Energy such as estimates of future production and development and operating expenses.

During the first quarter of 2026, no trigger event occurred that would indicate a need for an impairment assessment. Accordingly, there was no impairment of the NPI as of March 31, 2026. Any impairment recorded for book purposes would not result in a loss for tax purposes for the unitholders until the loss is recognized.

Net profits interests in oil and gas properties

The initial carrying value of the net profits interests of $61,100,449 represents XTO Energy’s historical net book value for the interests on February 12, 1991, the creation date of the Trust. Amortization of the net profits interests is calculated on a unit‑of‑production basis using proved reserves and is charged directly to trust corpus. Accumulated amortization was $58,975,243 as of March 31, 2026, and $58,942,029 as of December 31, 2025. Amortization of the NPI does not impact unitholder distributions.

Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Trust constitutes a fixed investment trust that is taxed as a grantor trust. A grantor trust is not subject to tax at the trust level. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. The unitholders are considered, for federal income tax purposes, to own the Trust’s income and principal as though no trust were in existence. The income of the Trust is deemed to have been received or accrued by each unitholder at the time such income is received or accrued by the Trust and not when distributed by the Trust. Impairments recorded for book purposes will not result in a deductible loss by the unitholders for tax purposes until the loss is recognized.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The legislation introduces several significant federal income tax changes, including the permanent extension of the income tax rates established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the continued suspension of miscellaneous itemized deductions, and the reinstatement of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA contains multiple effective dates, with some provisions having taken effect in 2025 and others phased in through 2027. Unitholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the potential income tax consequences of the OBBBA and its impact on their ownership of Trust units.

All revenues from the Trust are from sources within Texas, Oklahoma or New Mexico. Because the Trust distributes all of its net income to unitholders, the Trust has not been taxed at the trust level in New Mexico or Oklahoma. While the Trust has not owed tax, the Trustee is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return reflecting the income and deductions of the Trust attributable to properties located in that state, along with a schedule that includes information regarding distributions to unitholders. Oklahoma and New Mexico tax the income of nonresidents from real property located within those states, and the Trust has been advised by counsel that such states will tax nonresidents on income from the net profits interests located in those states. Oklahoma and New Mexico also impose a corporate income tax that may apply to unitholders organized as corporations (subject to certain exceptions for S corporations and limited liability companies, depending on their treatment for federal income tax purposes).

Texas imposes a franchise tax at a rate of 0.75 percent on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas franchise tax statutes. Entities subject to tax generally include trusts and most other types of entities that provide limited liability protection, unless otherwise exempt. Trusts that receive at least 90 percent of their federal gross income from certain passive sources, including royalties from mineral properties and other non-operated mineral interest income, and do not receive more than 10 percent of their income from operating an active trade or business, generally are exempt from the Texas franchise tax as “passive entities.” The Trust has been and expects to continue to be exempt from Texas franchise tax as a passive entity. Because the Trust should be exempt from Texas franchise tax at the trust level as a passive entity, each unitholder that is a taxable entity under the Texas franchise tax will generally be required to include its Texas portion of Trust revenues in its own Texas franchise tax computation. This revenue is sourced to Texas under provisions of the Texas Administrative Code providing that such income is sourced according to the principal place of business of the Trust, which is Texas.

Each unitholder should consult their own tax advisor regarding income tax requirements, if any, applicable to such person’s ownership of Trust units.

Table of Contents

Unitholders should consult the Trust’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of federal and state tax matters.

Contingencies

Several states have enacted legislation requiring state income tax withholding from payments made to nonresident recipients of oil and gas proceeds. After consultation with its tax counsel, the Trustee believes that it is not required to withhold on payments made to the unitholders. However, regulations are subject to change by the various states, which could change this conclusion. Should amounts be withheld on payments made to the Trust or the unitholders, distributions to the unitholders would be reduced by the required amount, subject to the filing of a claim for refund or credit (to the extent available) by the Trust or unitholders for such amount.

Excess Costs

The following summarizes excess costs activity, cumulative excess costs balances and accrued interest to be recovered by conveyance as calculated by XTO Energy:

Total remaining to be recovered at 3/31/26	$	4,321,221	$	673,064	$	4,994,285

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, excess costs were $210,012 ($157,509 net to the Trust) on properties underlying the Texas working interest net profits interests.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, excess costs were $888,779 ($666,585 net to the Trust) on properties underlying the Oklahoma working interest net profits interests.

Underlying cumulative excess costs for the Texas and Oklahoma working interest conveyances remaining as of March 31, 2026, totaled $6.7 million ($5.0 million net to the Trust), including accrued interest of $1.6 million ($1.2 million net to the Trust).

Related Party Transactions

In computing net proceeds for the 75% net profits interests, XTO Energy deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. This monthly overhead charge as of March 31, 2026, was $53,620 ($40,215 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index.

XTO Energy deducts a monthly overhead charge for reimbursement of administrative expenses as operator of the Hewitt Unit, which is one of the properties underlying the Oklahoma 75% net profits interests. As of March 31, 2026, this monthly charge was approximately $36,090 ($27,068 net to the Trust) and is subject to annual adjustment based on an oil and gas industry index. Other than this property, XTO Energy and ExxonMobil do not operate or control any of the properties underlying the 75% net profits interests.

Table of Contents

Administration Expense

Administrative expenses are incurred so that the Trustee may meet its reporting obligations to the unitholders and regulatory entities and otherwise manage the administrative functions of the Trust. These obligations include, but are not limited to, all expenses, taxes, compensation to the Trustee for managing the Trust, fees to consultants, accountants, attorneys, transfer agents, other professional and expert persons, expenses for clerical and other administrative assistance, and fees and expenses for all other services.

Item 2. Trustee’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Trustee’s discussion and analysis contained in the Trust’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‑Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports are available on the Trust’s website at www.crt-crosstimbers.com.

Distributable Income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net profits income was $774,181 compared to $2,053,394 for first quarter 2025. This 62 percent decrease in net profits income is primarily the result of decreased oil and gas production ($1.3 million), lower oil prices ($0.5 million), increased overhead ($0.4 million), and increased production costs ($0.1 million), partially offset by net excess costs activity ($0.8 million), decreased taxes, transportation and other costs ($0.1 million), and decreased development costs ($0.1 million). See “Net Profits Income” below.

After considering interest income of $13,666, administration expense of $234,441, and an increase to the expense reserve of $50,000, distributable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $503,406, or $0.083901 per unit of beneficial interest. Administration expense for the quarter decreased $47,021 from the prior year quarter, primarily related to the timing of receipt and payment of Trust expenses and terms of professional services. Changes in interest income are attributable to fluctuations in net profits income, expense reserve, and interest rates. For first quarter 2025, distributable income was $1,783,938, or $0.297323 per unit.

Distributions to unitholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, were:


Record Date	Payment Date	Distribution per Unit
January 30, 2026	February 13, 2026	$	0.032918
February 27, 2026	March 13, 2026		0.050060
March 31, 2026	April 14, 2026		0.000923
		$	0.083901

Net Profits Income

Net profits income is recorded when received by the Trust, which is the month following receipt by XTO Energy, and generally two months after oil production and three months after gas production. Net profits income is generally affected by three major factors:

oil and gas sales volumes;

oil and gas sales prices; and

costs deducted in the calculation of net profits income.

Because properties underlying the 90% net profits interests are primarily royalty and overriding royalty interests, the calculation of net profits income from these interests includes deductions for production and property taxes, legal costs, and marketing and transportation charges. In addition to these costs, the calculation of net profits income from the 75% net profits interests includes deductions for production expense, development costs and overhead since the related underlying properties are working interests.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of the calculation of net profits income received by the Trust:

Net Proceeds	$	860,201	$	2,326,954	(63%)

Net Profits Income	$	774,181	$	2,053,394	(62%)

(a)

Because of the interval between time of production and receipt of royalty income by the Trust, oil and gas sales for the quarter ended March 31 generally represent oil production for the period November through January and gas production for the period October through December.

(b)

Oil and gas sales volumes are allocated to the net profits interests by dividing Trust net cash inflows by average sales prices. As oil and gas prices change, the Trust’s allocated production volumes are impacted as the quantity of production necessary to cover expenses changes inversely with price. As such, the underlying property production volume changes may not correlate with the Trust’s allocated production volumes in any given period. Therefore, comparative discussion of oil and gas sales volumes is based on the underlying properties.

(c)

Production expense includes an overhead charge which is deducted and retained by the operator. XTO Energy deducts an overhead charge as reimbursement for costs associated with monitoring these interests. See Note 5 to Condensed Financial Statements.

(d)

See Note 4 to Condensed Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

The following are explanations of significant variances on the underlying properties from first quarter 2025 to first quarter 2026:

Sales Volumes

Oil

Oil sales volumes decreased 37 percent from first quarter 2025 to first quarter 2026 primarily due to timing of cash receipts and natural production decline.

Gas

Gas sales volumes decreased 38 percent from first quarter 2025 to first quarter 2026 primarily because of timing of cash receipts and natural production decline.

The estimated rate of natural production decline on the underlying oil and gas properties is approximately 6 to 8 percent a year.

Sales Prices

Oil

The average oil price decreased 20 percent to $56.65 per Bbl for first quarter 2026.

Gas

The average gas price increased 3 percent to $4.25 per Mcf for first quarter 2026.

Costs

Taxes, Transportation and Other

Taxes, transportation and other costs decreased 36 percent for first quarter 2026 primarily because of decreased oil and gas severance taxes on lower revenues and decreased gas deductions.

Production Expense

Production expense increased 52 percent for first quarter 2026 primarily because of increased overhead, and power and fuel costs, partially offset by decreased repairs and maintenance costs.

Development Costs

Development costs related to properties underlying the 75% net profits interests decreased 101 percent for first quarter 2026 primarily because of the absence of recompletion costs related to the Hewitt Unit.

Excess Costs

If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from any other conveyance. Underlying cumulative excess costs for the Texas and Oklahoma working interest conveyances remaining as of March 31, 2026, totaled $6.7 million ($5.0 million net to the Trust), including accrued interest of $1.6 million ($1.2 million net to the Trust). For further information on excess costs, see Note 4 to Condensed Financial Statements.

Contingencies

For information on contingencies, see Note 3 to Condensed Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information included in this Quarterly Report and other materials filed, or to be filed, by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by XTO Energy or the Trustee) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Trust, operations of the underlying properties and the oil and gas industry. Such forward-looking statements are based on XTO Energy’s and the Trustee’s current plans, expectations, assumptions, projections and estimates and are identified by words such as “may,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “should,” “could,” “would,” and similar words that convey the uncertainty of future events. Such forward-looking statements may concern, among other things, development activities, future development plans by area, increased density drilling, reserve-to-production ratios, future production, future net cash flows, maintenance projects, development, production, regulatory and other costs, oil and gas prices and expectations for future supply and demand, the impact of inflation and economic downturns on economic activity, government policy and actions and their impact on oil and gas prices and future demand, the development and competitiveness of alternative energy sources, pricing differentials, proved reserves, production levels, expense reserve budgets, availability of financing, arbitration, litigation, liquidity, financing, political and regulatory matters, such as tax and environmental policy, climate policy, trade barriers, tariffs, sanctions, war and other geopolitical or security disturbances, and competition. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those detailed in Part I, Item 1A of the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. Therefore, actual financial and operational results may differ materially from expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in, implied in, or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. XTO Energy and the Trustee assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

Not applicable. Upon qualifying as a smaller reporting company, this information is no longer required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Trustee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Trustee concluded that the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Trustee to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the Trustee has relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by XTO Energy. There has not been any change in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
