Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $3.0 million for the current month, an increase of $0.1 million from the prior month calculation as a result of three additional days of production in March compared to February, offset by a decline in the average price received per Bbl as a result of a corresponding decrease in the average NYMEX price of oil for the period. Natural gas cash receipts decreased from $1.1 million in the prior distribution period to $0.9 million in the current month primarily due to a decrease of 14 percent in the realized wellhead price as compared to the prior month. The decrease in realized wellhead price was driven by decreases in futures pricing for February, which is the basis upon which a significant portion of the East Texas / North Louisiana gas volumes are sold. In addition, there were three fewer days of production in February as compared to January.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation expenses, increased $0.3 million to $2.7 million. The increase in direct operating expenses is primarily due to higher than normal lease operating expenses for operations in the New Mexico Permian area. Capital expenditures decreased $0.1 million from the previous periods $0.5 million. Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during April 2017.
About Enduro Royalty Trust
Enduro Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed by Enduro Resource Partners to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain of Enduro Resource Partners properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trusts filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trusts administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.enduroroyaltytrust.com.
Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
This press release contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will be significantly and negatively affected by prevailing low commodity prices, which have declined significantly, could decline further and could remain low for an extended period of time. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust and reserves for anticipated future expenses.
