Business Segment Reporting Business Segment Reporting
During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. We eliminate inter-segment revenues and expenses, if any, upon consolidation. There were no inter-segment revenues for the years ended December31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing our approximately 882,000 surface acres of land and our approximately 224,000 NRA of oil and gas royalty interests, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment consist primarily of royalties from oil and gas, revenues from easements and commercial leases, and land and material sales.

The Water Services and Operations segment encompasses the business of providing a full-service water offering to operators in the Permian Basin. The revenue streams of this segment primarily consist of revenue generated from sales of sourced and treated water as well as revenue from produced water royalties.
The following table presents segment financial results for Land and Resource Management (“LRM”) and Water Service and Operations (“WSO”) and the reconciliation to consolidated (“Cons”) financial results for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (in thousands):
