Investor Presentation September 2025
Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this presentation that address activities, events, or developments that Black Stone Minerals, L.P. (“Black Stone Minerals,” “Black Stone,” “the Partnership,” or “BSM”) expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by Black Stone Minerals based on management’s expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although Black Stone Minerals believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Black Stone Minerals cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs, or intentions. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Black Stone Minerals, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced in the “Risk Factors” and “Forward- Looking Statements” sections of the filings Black Stone Minerals has made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as risks relating to the Partnership’s ability to execute its business strategies; the volatility of realized oil and natural gas prices; the level of production on the Partnership’s properties; overall supply and demand for oil and natural gas, as well as regional supply and demand factors, delays, or interruptions of production; domestic and foreign trade policies, including tariffs and other controls on imports or exports of goods, including energy products; conservation measures and general concern about the environmental impact of the production and use of fossil fuels; the Partnership’s ability to replace its oil and natural gas reserves; general economic, business, or industry conditions including slowdowns, domestically and internationally, and volatility in the securities, capital or credit markets; cybersecurity incidents, including data security breaches or computer viruses; competition in the oil and natural gas industry; the availability or cost of rigs, equipment, raw materials, supplies, oilfield services or personnel; the level of drilling activity by the Partnership's operators, particularly in areas such as the Haynesville where the Partnership has concentrated acreage positions; and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. When considering the forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in filings Black Stone Minerals has made with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Black Stone Minerals undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. All forward-looking statements attributable to Black Stone Minerals are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to GAAP financial measures, this presentation includes non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. These measures are used by Black Stone’s management, investors, research analysts, and other external users of the Partnership’s financial statements to assess the financial performance of its assets and its ability to sustain distributions over the long term, independent of financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization adjusted for impairment of oil and natural gas properties, if any, accretion of asset retirement obligations, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments, non-cash equity-based compensation, and gains and losses on sales of assets, if any. Black Stone defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA plus or minus amounts for certain non-cash operating activities, cash interest expense, distributions to preferred unitholders, and restructuring charges, if any. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of the Partnership's financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Partnership's computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the Appendix to this presentation. The Partnership is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking estimate of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because such GAAP measure, which is not included in the Partnership’s outlook, is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties such as the items noted under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” In addition, we believe such a reconciliation could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors.
