“For the full year 2022, TPL achieved record results across both of our operating segments, record consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and record earnings per share,” said Tyler Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “The strong performance reflects the high quality of our underlying assets, the benefits of our active management approach, and the advantages of a vertically integrated business model. We also continue to make progress towards extracting value beyond our legacy revenue streams with opportunities such as carbon capture, grid batteries, renewables, and beneficial water reuse. Looking forward to 2023, although recent commodity prices have experienced some volatility, development activity in the Permian will remain robust. TPL is well positioned to capture value and generate free cash flow, and we look forward to sustaining our positive momentum into the new year.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2022

The Company reported net income of $99.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 26.2% compared to net income of $79.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Our total revenues increased $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely driven by a $6.4 million land sale of 6,263 acres and a $4.6 million increase in produced water royalties, principally related to increased volumes. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.6 million in water sales, principally due to a 15.2% decrease in the number of barrels of sourced and treated water sold, and a decrease of $2.9 million in oil and gas royalties. Our share of production was approximately 21.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 22.0 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2021. The average realized price was $51.57 per Boe for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $51.53 per Boe for the comparable period of 2021. Our 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 $28.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $7.2 million compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in operating expenses is principally related to an increase in share-based compensation expense driven by the graded-vesting accounting method and an increase in ad valorem taxes during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

The Company reported net income of $446.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 65.3% compared to net income of $270.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our total revenues increased $216.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely driven by a $166.0 million increase in oil and gas royalties, a $17.0 million increase in water sales, and a $14.2 million increase in produced water royalties. Our share of production was approximately 21.3 thousand Boe per day for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 18.6 thousand Boe per day for the same period of 2021. The average realized price was $60.81 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $44.14 per Boe for the comparable period of 2021. The increases in water sales and produced water royalties are principally due to increased volumes. Our 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 $105.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $16.6 million compared to the same period of 2021. Operating expenses for 2022 increased principally as a result of the Company recording an expense of $8.7 million for ad valorem taxes. Additionally, transfer and treatment expenses have increased as water sales revenue has increased 25.0% during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

On February 10, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $3.25 per share, payable on March 15, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2022, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to an aggregate of $250 million of our outstanding common stock beginning January 1, 2023.

The Company intends to purchase stock under the repurchase program opportunistically with funds generated by cash from operations. This repurchase program may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by the board of directors at any time. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made through a combination of open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions, and/or other transactions at the Company’s discretion, including under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that may be implemented by the Company, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.

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 the 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 employee share-based compensation, conversion costs related to our Corporate Reorganization, and severance costs. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and/or other non-recurring or unusual items such as conversion and severance costs. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that both are useful supplements to net income in analyzing operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
