VOC Energy Trust reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, revealing a decline in both revenue and profitability compared to the same periods in 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Trust generated income from net profits interest of $2,157,519, a decrease of 36.5% from $3,398,618 in the prior year. Similarly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income from net profits interest totaled $6,541,289, down 37.5% from $10,380,195 in 2024. The Trust's total gross proceeds from oil and natural gas sales were $7,225,060 for the third quarter, a decline of 22.1% from $9,270,907 in the same quarter of 2024, and $22,599,186 for the nine-month period, down 16.4% from $27,041,669.
The decrease in revenue was attributed to lower market prices for oil, which fell by 22% to an average of $61.11 per barrel, while natural gas prices increased by 35.9% to $3.72 per Mcf. Oil sales volumes remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease of 0.8% to 115,025 barrels in the third quarter, while natural gas sales volumes dropped by 20.2% to 52,514 Mcf. The Trust's total assets as of September 30, 2025, were reported at $10,770,116, down from $11,871,877 at the end of 2024, reflecting a decrease in trust corpus primarily due to cash distributions and expenses.
Operationally, the Trust's lease operating expenses decreased by 7.2% to $3,510,384 for the third quarter, while production and property taxes increased slightly. The Trust's general and administrative expenses also saw a reduction, totaling $156,192 for the quarter, down from $202,488 in the previous year. The Trust maintained a cash reserve of $1,000,000 for future development and operational expenditures, with total cash and cash equivalents amounting to $1,978,362 as of September 30, 2025.
Looking ahead, VOC Energy Trust continues to rely on the performance of its underlying properties, which are primarily located in mature oil and gas fields in Texas and Kansas. The Trust does not anticipate significant changes in future costs, barring fluctuations in oilfield service prices. The Trustee has indicated that it may adjust cash reserves as necessary to manage future expenses, and any excess cash reserves will eventually be distributed to unitholders. The Trust's next distribution, amounting to $1,870,000 or $0.11 per Trust Unit, is scheduled for November 14, 2025, reflecting the net profits for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
