Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Zach, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us this morning. With me today are several members of our senior management team, including Davis Ravnaas, our President and Chief Financial Officer, Matt Daly, our chief operating officer, and Blayne Rhynsburger, our controller. To start off, we are pleased to report an outstanding quarter for Kimball, which includes records for oil, natural gas and NGL revenues, net income, consolidated adjusted EBITDA, lease bonuses, average daily production, and cash available for distribution. We also closed on our previously announced Mesa Royalty's acquisition in June. which has begun to contribute nicely to our overall results, and last month we announced the second drop-down acquisition since our IPO. Both of these transactions are expected to add meaningful production and drive cash flow growth for years to come. Production during the quarter grew both organically and through acquisitions, resulting in oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues exceeding $100 million for the first time, while cash G&A per BOE remained below the midpoint of guidance generating positive operating leverage and distribution growth. Even with the uncertainty occurring across the broader geopolitical landscape in recent months, activity on our acreage remains robust with 91 rigs actively drilling at quarter end representing a market share of US land rigs at 16%. This record second quarter performance allowed us to declare a Q2 2026 Distribution of 47 cents per common unit, up 15% from Q1, 2026. As we continue to focus on returning value to unit holders, this distribution reflects an annualized tax advantage yield of approximately 13% based on yesterday's closing price. Looking ahead, we're excited to layer in production from our drop-down acquisition, which is slated to close later this month, and are confident in the potential of the Caban Company on a go-forward basis. We expect both transactions to expand our scale and enhance our cash flow generation for years to come. We also continue to expect higher oil prices to support a modest uptick in activity across our oil-weighted basins. While oil prices have been especially volatile in recent weeks due to the stops and starts of the Middle East conflict, they remain elevated relative to historical levels, and we believe the current Robert Dean Ravnaas, Brett Taylor, Robert Davis Ravnaas remains in the beginning stages, and we are encouraged by the opportunities in front of us. We intend to build on this recent activity as we strive to expand our industry-leading portfolio of assets. I'd like to thank all of our employees for their hard work and dedication in driving Kimball forward and for their role in helping to generate long-term unit holder value. And now I'll turn the call over to Davis.
