DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amen Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AMEN) today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Company posted revenue of $3.7 million and net income of $2.0 million. These results compare to revenue of $4.1 million and net income of $3.4 million for 2022. The Company’s decline in revenue and profitability resulted primarily from a decrease in commodity prices.
Amen also announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the payment of a quarterly dividend of $10.00 per share. Additionally, the Board approved payment of a special dividend of $3.85 per share to satisfy the Company’s tithing obligation for 2023. Both dividends will be paid to shareholders of record on March 29 with a payment date of April 12.
Finally, Amen reiterated that its Board has approved a plan whereby the Company will no longer hedge the revenue stream associated with its oil and gas royalties. “Shareholders of Amen need to understand that they hold an un-hedged long oil and gas position and should pursue their own hedging strategy if they are uncomfortable with that risk,” said Kris Oliver, Amen’s Chief Financial Officer.
The Company’s 2023 annual report is available for viewing or download from the company’s web site – www.amenproperties.com.
