“We produced strong operating results across our vertically integrated business, and, along with a supportive commodity price backdrop, we believe it was the best quarter in our over 100-year history,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “TPL achieved record consolidated EBITDA and royalty production amid healthy activity levels on our royalty acreage in the Permian Basin. The consistency of our performance throughout commodity cycles reflects the benefits of our active management approach and vertically integrated business model. Over the past several years we have focused on enhancing our business by leveraging our vast surface footprint and making strategic investments into our water business that we can then deploy to enable and accelerate development activity onto TPL’s royalty acreage. Our active management efforts have resulted in multiple high-margin, high-quality cash flows streams, and we continue to strive towards unlocking the tremendous embedded value in our asset base.”

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2021

The Company reported net income of $83.8 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 81.2% compared to net income of $46.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Our total revenues increased $49.3 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, largely driven by the $47.3 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue. Our share of production was approximately 19.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 15.7 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2020. The average realized price was $46.07 per Boe for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $23.02 per Boe for the comparable period of 2020. Water sales increased $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 principally due to a 60.4% increase in the number of barrels of sourced and treated water. These revenue streams are directly impacted by development and operating decisions in the Permian Basin made by our customers and by commodity prices, among other factors.

Our total operating expenses of $20.5 million for the third quarter of 2021 increased $2.8 million compared to the same period of 2020. The increase is principally due to a $1.4 million increase in water service-related expenses and a $1.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

The Company reported net income of $190.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 45.5% compared to net income of $131.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Our total revenues increased $75.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, largely driven by the $92.2 million increase in oil and gas royalty revenue. Our share of production was approximately 17.5 thousand Boe per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 16.0 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2020. The average realized price was $41.01 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $22.59 per Boe for the comparable period of 2020. The increase in oil and gas royalty revenue was partially offset by a $15.1 million decrease in land sales due to fewer land sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. These revenue streams are directly impacted by commodity prices and development and operating decisions made by our customers and vary as the pace of development and oil demand varies.

Our total operating expenses of $67.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 1.5% compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was principally due to increased salaries and related employee expenses which, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, included $6.7 million of expense related to severance costs. These increases were partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in land sales expenses and a $2.1 million decrease in legal and professional fees as the Corporate Reorganization was completed in January 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Global Oil Market Impact in 2021

The uncertainty caused by the global spread of COVID-19 commencing in 2020, among other factors, led to a significant reduction in global demand and prices for oil. These events generally led to production curtailments and capital investment reductions by the operators of the oil and gas wells to which the Company’s royalty interests relate. This slowdown in well development has negatively affected the Company’s business and operations for 2020 and 2021. More recently, development activity has also been impacted by shortages in labor and certain equipment as well as escalating costs which have generally impacted operators in the Permian Basin. While labor and resource shortages and rising costs have not directly impacted us yet, these shortages and rising costs could potentially impact our future operating activity. With current oil, natural gas, and NGL prices broadly higher than the comparable period in 2020, development activities in the Permian Basin have rebounded from the lows in 2020, and producer activity has increased, albeit at a pace still below pre-pandemic levels. Future production and development activity will continue to be influenced by changes in commodity prices and by the evolving economic and health impact of COVID-19.

Though the global spread of COVID-19 and the associated economic impact are still uncertain, COVID-19 containment measures have eased in certain regions globally, and as a result, demand for oil and gas has begun to recover. However, COVID-19 continues to impact certain regions domestically and globally, and any additional containment measures, now or in the future, could impede a recovery. In addition, oil prices in 2021 have been supported by oil supply cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively referred to as “OPEC+”). Although our revenues are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in oil prices, we believe our royalty interests (which require no capital expenditures or operating expense burden from us for well development), strong balance sheet, and liquidity position will help us navigate through potential oil price volatility.

In 2020, we implemented certain cost reduction measures to manage costs with an initial focus on negotiating price reductions and discounts with certain vendors and reducing our usage of independent contract service providers. In 2021, we continue to identify additional cost reduction opportunities. As part of our longer-term water business strategy, we have invested in electrifying our water sourcing infrastructure. The use of electricity instead of fuel-powered generators to source and transport water is anticipated to further reduce our dependence on fuel, equipment rentals, and repairs and maintenance. Additionally, our investment in automation has allowed us to curtail our reliance on independent contract service providers to support our field operations.

Our business model and disciplined approach to capital resource allocation have helped us maintain our strong financial position while navigating the uncertainty of the current environment. Further, we continue to prioritize maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for our employees. Our information technology infrastructure allowed our corporate employees to transition to a remote work environment starting in March 2020 and we were able to deploy additional safety and sanitation measures for our field employees. As vaccination rates in the United States have risen, we have taken a phased-in approach to returning employees to the office and continue to monitor guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as new information becomes available. We continue to provide safety and sanitation measures for all employees and maintain communication with employees regarding any concerns they may have during the transition.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

On October 28, 2021, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.75 per share payable on December 15, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2021.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased $8.7 million and $11.2 million of shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items, including, but not limited to: proxy and conversion costs and severance costs. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that both are useful supplements to net income as indicators of operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
