New risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect financial performance. Each of the risks described below could adversely impact the value of our common units.
  • Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
  • We may not have sufficient available cash to pay any quarterly distribution on our common units.
  • The amount of cash we have available for distribution to holders of our common units depends primarily on our cash flow and not solely on profitability, which may prevent us from paying cash distributions during periods when we record net income.
  • The amount of our quarterly cash distributions, if any, may vary significantly both quarterly and annually and is directly dependent on the performance of our business. We do not have a minimum quarterly distribution or employ structures intended to consistently maintain or increase distributions over time and could pay no distribution with respect to any particular quarter.
  • Our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash, which could limit our ability to grow and make acquisitions.
  • The limited liability company agreement of our General Partner contains restrictive covenants, governance and other provisions that may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
  • Our General Partner and its affiliates, including our Sponsors and their respective affiliates, have conflicts of interest with us and limited duties to us and our unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our unitholders. Additionally, we have no control over the business decisions and operations of our Sponsors and their respective affiliates, which are under no obligation to adopt a business strategy that favors us.
  • Our partnership agreement does not restrict our Sponsors and their respective affiliates or the Contributing Parties from competing with us. Certain of our directors and officers may in the future spend significant time serving, and may have significant duties with, investment partnerships or other private entities that compete with us in seeking out acquisitions and business opportunities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating time or pursuing business opportunities.
  • Our General Partner intends to limit its liability regarding our obligations.
  • Neither we, our General Partner nor our subsidiaries have any employees, and we rely solely on Kimbell Operating to manage and operate, or arrange for the management and operation of, our business. The management team of Kimbell Operating, which includes the individuals who will manage us, also provides substantially similar services to other entities and thus is not solely focused on our business.
  • Our partnership agreement replaces fiduciary duties applicable to a corporation with contractual duties and restricts the remedies available to our unitholders for actions taken by our General Partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.
The other 62 risks
  • Our partnership agreement replaces our General Partner’s fiduciary duties to our unitholders with contractual standards governing its duties.
  • Holders of our common units have limited voting rights and are not entitled to elect our General Partner or its directors, which could reduce the price at which our common units will trade.
  • Even if our unitholders are dissatisfied, they cannot initially remove our General Partner without its consent.
  • Our partnership agreement restricts the voting rights of unitholders owning 20% or more of the interests in any class of our securities, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Cost reimbursements due to our General Partner and its affiliates for services provided to us or on our behalf will reduce cash available for distribution to our common unitholders. Our partnership agreement and the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company do not set a limit on the amount of expenses for which our General Partner and its affiliates may be reimbursed. The amount and timing of such reimbursements will be determined by our General Partner.
  • Our General Partner interest or the control of our General Partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.
  • Our sole cash-generating asset is our membership interest in the Operating Company, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from the Operating Company to pay taxes and cover our expenses and to make distributions to our unitholders.
  • Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions and in certain circumstances may be personally liable for the obligations of the partnership.
  • Increases in interest rates may cause the market price of our common units to decline.
  • Our General Partner has a call right that may require unitholders to sell their units at an undesirable time or price.
  • We may issue additional common units and other equity interests ranking junior to the Series A preferred units without unitholder approval, which would dilute existing common unitholder ownership interests.
  • There are no limitations in our partnership agreement on our ability to issue units ranking senior in right of distributions or liquidation to our common units.
  • The market price of our common units could be materially adversely affected by sales of substantial amounts of our common units in the public or private markets, including sales by our Sponsors, the Contributing Parties and other selling unitholders pursuant to any registration rights agreements.
  • The price of our common units may fluctuate significantly, and unitholders could lose all or part of their investment.
  • The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) does not require a publicly traded partnership like us to comply with certain of its corporate governance requirements.
  • Our partnership agreement includes exclusive forum, venue and jurisdiction provisions. By acquiring an interest in us, a limited partner is irrevocably consenting to these provisions regarding claims, suits, actions or proceedings and submitting to the exclusive jurisdiction of Delaware courts.
  • If a unitholder is an ineligible holder, the units of such unitholder may be subject to redemption.
  • Our Series A preferred units have rights, preferences and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to the rights of, holders of our common units.
  • The terms of our Series A preferred units contain covenants that may limit our business flexibility.
  • Risks Related to Economic Conditions and Our Industry
  • All of our revenues are derived from royalty payments that are based on the price at which oil, natural gas and NGLs produced from the acreage underlying our interests is sold. The volatility of these prices due to factors beyond our control greatly affects our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • A deterioration in general economic, business or industry conditions would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • Conservation measures and technological advances could reduce demand for oil and natural gas.
  • Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, which may adversely affect our operators’ ability to succeed.
  • The results of exploratory drilling in shale plays will be subject to risks associated with drilling and completion techniques and drilling results may not meet our expectations for reserves or production.
  • The marketability of oil and natural gas production is dependent upon transportation and other facilities, certain of which neither we nor the operators of our properties control. If these facilities are unavailable, our operators’ operations could be interrupted and our results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units could be materially adversely affected.
  • Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high-risk activities with many uncertainties that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Derivatives
  • Our derivative activities could result in financial losses and reduce earnings.
  • Restrictions in our secured revolving credit facility and future debt agreements could limit our growth and our ability to engage in certain activities, including our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders.
  • Any significant reduction in our borrowing base under our secured revolving credit facility as a result of the periodic borrowing base redeterminations or otherwise may negatively impact our ability to fund our operations.
  • Our debt levels may limit our flexibility to obtain additional financing and pursue other business opportunities.
  • Risks Related to Our Operations
  • Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have made several significant acquisitions.
  • We depend on unaffiliated operators for all of the exploration, development and production on the properties in which we own mineral and royalty interests. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from royalty payments made by these operators. A reduction in the expected number of wells to be drilled on the acreage underlying our interests by these operators or the failure of these operators to adequately and efficiently develop and operate the underlying acreage could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • We may not be able to terminate our leases if any of the operators of the properties in which we own mineral interests declare bankruptcy, and we may experience delays and be unable to replace operators that do not make royalty payments.
  • Our future success depends on replacing reserves through acquisitions and the exploration and development activities of the operators of our properties.
  • Our failure to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions of properties or businesses would slow our growth and could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • Any acquisitions of additional mineral and royalty interests that we complete will be subject to substantial risks.
  • If we are unable to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms from our Sponsors, the Contributing Parties or third parties, our future growth will be limited.
  • Prospect areas on our properties, which are in various stages of development, may not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities.
  • Our estimated reserves are based on many assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.
  • We do not intend to retain cash from our operations for replacement capital expenditures. Unless we replenish our oil and natural gas reserves, our cash generated from operations and our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders could be materially adversely affected.
  • We rely on a few key individuals whose absence or loss could materially adversely affect our business.
  • Loss of our or our operators’ information and computer systems could materially adversely affect our business.
  • Title to the properties in which we have an interest may be impaired by title defects.
  • The potential drilling locations identified by the operators of our properties are susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling.
  • Acreage must be drilled before lease expiration, generally within three to five years, in order to hold the acreage by production. Our operators’ failure to drill sufficient wells to hold acreage may result in loss of the lease and prospective drilling opportunities.
  • The unavailability, high cost, or shortages of rigs, equipment, raw materials, supplies or personnel may restrict or result in increased costs for operators related to developing and operating our properties.
  • Operating hazards and uninsured risks may result in substantial losses to the operators of our properties, and any losses could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units.
  • If the operators of our properties suspend our right to receive royalty payments due to title or other issues, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution on common units may be adversely affected.
  • We will be required to take write-downs of the carrying values of our proved properties if commodity prices decrease to a level such that the future cash flows discounted at 10% from our proved properties are less than their carrying value.
  • Tax Risks to Common Unitholders
  • We may incur substantial income tax liabilities on our allocable share of income from the Operating Company.
  • Taxable gain or loss on the sale of our common units could be more or less than expected.
  • Our tax liability may be greater than expected if we do not generate sufficient depletion deductions to offset our taxable income and reduce our tax liability.
  • Future tax legislation could have an adverse impact on our cash tax liabilities, results of operations and financial condition, which could affect our cash available for distribution on common units and the value of our common units.
  • Certain decreases in the price of our common units could adversely affect our amount of cash available for distribution on common units.
  • The IRS Form 1099-DIV that you receive from your broker may over-report your dividend income with respect to our units for United States federal income tax purposes, and failure to report your dividend income in a manner consistent with the IRS Form 1099-DIV that you receive from your broker may cause the IRS to assert audit adjustments to your United States federal income tax return.
  • The portion of our distributions taxable as dividends may be greater than expected.
  • If the Operating Company were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, we and the Operating Company might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies.
  • Legal, Environmental and Regulatory Risks
  • Oil and natural gas operations are subject to various governmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations can be burdensome and expensive, and failure to comply could result in significant liabilities, which could reduce our cash available for distribution on common units.
  • The operators of our properties are subject to complex and evolving environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. As a result, they may incur significant delays, costs and liabilities that could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.
  • Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.
  • The adoption of climate change legislation and regulations could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas that our operators produce.
  • Changes in U.S. trade policy and the impact of tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • General Risk Factors

Legal proceedings

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in various legal claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
