AMEN - Amen Properties Reports Results for Third Quarter of 2019 and Announces Dividend

Amen Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AMEN) today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $530 thousand and net income of $436 thousand. These results compare to revenue of $574 thousand and net income of $195 thousand for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Company earnings versus last year was caused primarily by increased plug and abandon costs as well as a significant decline in interest income from corporate debt securities held for investment.

Amen also announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the payment of a quarterly dividend of $20 per share, to be paid on December 30, 2019 to shareholders of record as of December 23, 2019.

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 2019 third quarter report is available for viewing or download from the company’s web site – www.amenproperties.com.
