NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2015 to own and acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States. Effective as of September 24, 2018, the Partnership has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As an owner of mineral and royalty interests, the Partnership is entitled to a portion of the revenues received from the production of oil, natural gas and associated natural gas liquids (“NGL”) from the acreage underlying its interests, net of post-production expenses and taxes. The Partnership is not obligated to fund drilling and completion costs, lease operating expenses or plugging and abandonment costs at the end of a well’s productive life. The Partnership’s primary business objective is to provide increasing cash distributions to unitholders resulting from acquisitions from third parties, its Sponsors and the Contributing Parties, and from organic growth through the continued development by working interest owners of the properties in which it owns an interest. On February 8, 2022, the Partnership announced the $230 million initial public offering of its special purpose acquisition company, Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: TGR). Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation (“TGR”) was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (“TGR Sponsor”), which is a subsidiary of the Partnership, was created to assist TGR in sourcing, analyzing and consummating acquisition opportunities for that initial business combination. TGR Sponsor and TGR have been consolidated in the financial statements of the Partnership beginning in the year ended December 31, 2021. This resulted in the consolidation of $239.1 million of assets, $8.5 million of liabilities, $236.9 million of redeemable noncontrolling interests and $17.8 million of common equity and $2.6 million of noncontrolling interests related to TGR and TGR Sponsor as of September 30, 2022. Further details on the impact of the consolidation of TGR and TGR Sponsor can be found in Note 3. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As a result, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required for complete annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), which contains a summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures. In the opinion of management of the General Partner, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods in accordance with GAAP and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Partnership’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information of the Partnership as a whole. COVID-19 Pandemic and Impact on Global Demand for Oil and Natural Gas Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) remains a global health crisis and there continues to be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants. Despite improvements in global economic activity levels and higher energy demand compared to 2021, the impact of COVID-19 continue to be unpredictable, including the impact of new virus strains, the risk of renewed restrictions and the uncertainty of successful administration of effective treatments and vaccines. The Partnership is unable to reasonably estimate the period of time that related conditions could exist or the extent to which they could impact the Partnership’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Commodity prices have risen from 2021; however, further negative impact from COVID-19 may require the Partnership to adjust its business plan. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the volatility in the oil and natural gas markets on the Partnership’s business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations remain dependent on a number of factors, such as the duration and scope of the pandemic, the length and severity of the worldwide economic downturn, the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other crude oil producing nations to manage the global crude oil supply, additional actions by businesses and governments in response to the pandemic, the economic downturn and the decrease in crude oil demand, the speed and effectiveness of responses to combat the virus and the time necessary to balance crude oil supply and demand to restore crude oil pricing. Although prices have recovered, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business, employees and operations, including supply chain concerns, among others still continues to affect our industry. Russia / Ukraine Conflict In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in active armed conflict against the country. The conflict and the sanctions imposed in response have led to regional instability and caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets and have increased the level of global economic and political uncertainty, including uncertainty about world-wide oil supply and demand, which in turn has increased volatility in commodity prices.
