Cross Timbers Royalty Trust
Company Overview
History and Background
Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT) was formed in 1991 by XTO Energy Inc. to own net profits interests in certain oil and gas properties. The Trust's primary function is to distribute to its unitholders the net profits it receives from these properties.
Core Business Areas
- Net Profits Interest in Oil and Gas Properties: CRT holds net profits interests in various oil and gas producing properties located primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Its revenue is derived from the sale of oil and gas produced from these properties.
Leadership and Structure
CRT is a passive entity managed by a trustee, Bank of America, N.A. The trustee's role is primarily administrative, involving the distribution of net profits to unitholders.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Net Profits Interests: CRT's core offering is its ownership of net profits interests in oil and gas properties. Revenue is entirely dependent on the production and prices of oil and gas. CRT doesn't compete directly; its revenue depends on the performance of the underlying assets managed by XTO Energy, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil. Competitors include other royalty trusts and energy companies.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The oil and gas industry is characterized by cyclical price fluctuations, fluctuating demand, and technological advancements. Royalty trusts are directly influenced by oil and gas prices, production rates, and operating costs.
Positioning
CRT occupies a niche position as a passive royalty trust, offering investors exposure to oil and gas revenues without direct operational involvement. Its competitive advantage is purely its access to existing producing properties.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM for royalty trusts is tied to the overall oil and gas market. Given CRT's limited scope and reliance on specific properties, its position relative to the broader TAM is small.

Competitive Landscape
CRT's competitive position is limited by its passive nature. Its attractiveness depends solely on the underlying performance of the royalty interests.
Major Acquisitions
Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: CRT's historical growth is constrained by its dependence on existing properties. Growth is primarily driven by commodity prices rather than operational expansion.
Future Projections: Future growth is uncertain due to declining production. Analyst estimates are heavily influenced by oil and gas price forecasts.
Recent Initiatives: CRT is a passive trust and does not undertake strategic initiatives. Activities are limited to the distribution of net profits.
Summary
Cross Timbers Royalty Trust is a passive investment vehicle dependent on oil and gas prices and production. Its strength lies in consistent (though variable) dividend payouts, but its weakness is declining production. Investors should watch for commodity price fluctuations. The company is in a stable, albeit declining, market.
