North European Oil Royalty Trust Announces Second Quarter 2026 Distribution: Key Details for Investors

Summary of Distribution Announcement

North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE: NRT) announced on April 30, 2026, that it will distribute \$0.22 per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This payout matches the first quarter 2026 distribution and represents an increase from the \$0.20 per unit that was distributed for the same quarter in fiscal 2025.

The distribution is scheduled to be paid on May 27, 2026 to unitholders of record as of May 13, 2026.

Key Financial Highlights

• Quarterly Distribution: \$0.22 per unit for Q2 2026, equal to Q1 2026 and higher than the \$0.20 per unit for Q2 2025.
• Cumulative 12-Month Distribution: The total distributions for the past 12 months amount to \$1.01 per unit, which is a significant 115% increase compared to the prior 12-month cumulative distribution of \$0.47 per unit. This means an increase of \$0.54 per unit year-over-year.
• Distribution Schedule: The Trust makes quarterly distributions in February, May, August, and November.

What Investors Should Know (Price-Sensitive Information)

• Increased Distributions: The sharp rise in the cumulative 12-month distribution (up 115%) is a strong positive for shareholders and is likely to be viewed as price sensitive. This reflects improved royalty flows and potentially higher gas prices.
• Timing of Royalty Receipts: The Trust’s royalty payments are received based on the prior quarter’s activity, meaning the current distribution does not fully reflect the most recent period of higher natural gas prices. Investors should anticipate that future distributions may further benefit from these higher prices if they persist.
• Potential for Continued Growth: If commodity price trends remain favorable, and provided there are no significant negative changes in production or operator performance, distributions could remain strong.

Outlook, Risks, and Forward-Looking Statements

The Trust has included forward-looking statements regarding future gas prices, royalty payments, and cash distributions. These statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties, including:

• Depletion of the Trust’s natural gas assets, especially if operators do not continue development projects.
• Uncertainties related to gas production levels, sale prices, general economic conditions, and currency exchange rates.
• Risks regarding operator performance and potential contractual disputes.
• Geopolitical and economic uncertainty, which could impact future distributions.

The Trust states that it does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, and actual results could differ materially from current projections due to these uncertainties.

Additional Information

Further details will be available in the Trust’s upcoming 10-Q filing, expected on or about May 30, 2026, on the Trust’s website (www.neort.com) or via the SEC’s EDGAR system.
