Permian Basin Royalty Trust (PBT) Sets $0.045191 October Distribution; Waddell Ranch Still in Excess-Cost

Permian Basin Royalty Trust (PBT) announced a $0.045191 per unit distribution for October, payable Nov 16. The payout excludes Waddell Ranch proceeds due to excess costs but includes higher Texas Royalty natural gas volumes and a final Blackbeard payment. PBT's distributions have been volatile due to Waddell Ranch's status and reliance on Texas Royalty cash flow.
