Further details for the second quarter of 2020:

The Trust reported net income of $27.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 44.4% compared to net income of $49.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Oil and gas royalty revenue was $20.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared with $39.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of 48.3%. Prices received for crude oil and gas production decreased 54.0% and 53.7%, respectively, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease in prices received was partially offset by increased crude oil and gas production subject to the Trust鈥檚 royalty interests, which increased 10.6% and 49.6%, respectively, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Easements and other surface-related income was $24.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 10.8% compared with the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 when easements and other surface-related income was $22.4 million. The increase in easements and other surface-related income was largely driven by an increase of $3.6 million in commercial lease revenue (largely due to an increase in saltwater disposal royalties) partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in pipeline easement income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

Water sales and royalty revenue was $8.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 58.8% compared with the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 when water sales and royalty revenue was $20.4 million. This decrease was principally due to a 48.0% decrease in the number of barrels of sourced and treated water sold and a $2.9 million decrease in water royalties in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Further details for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

The Trust reported net income of $85.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 55.2% compared to net income of $189.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which included a $100 million land sale. Excluding the impact of the 2019 land sale (net of income tax), net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $110.6 million.

Oil and gas royalty revenue was $62.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $72.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of 13.7%. Prices received for crude oil and gas production decreased 19.9% and 34.2%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease in prices received was partially offset by increased crude oil and gas production subject to the Trust鈥檚 royalty interests, which increased 10.9% and 30.1%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

Easements and other surface-related income was $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 5.0% compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019 when easements and other surface-related income was $53.7 million. The decrease in easements and other surface-related income was largely driven by a decrease of $9.6 million in pipeline easement income partially offset by an increase of $6.1 million in commercial lease revenue (largely due to an increase in saltwater disposal royalties) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

Water sales and royalty revenue was $35.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 18.5% compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019 when water sales and royalty revenue was $43.4 million. This decrease was principally due to a $5.1 million decrease in water royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The Trust recognized land sales revenue of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $108.4 million for the comparable period of 2019. Land sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, included a $100 million land sale consummated in January 2019.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions Update

The uncertainty surrounding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as dramatic declines in crude oil prices due in part to the global spread of COVID-19, continued to cause volatility in the global financial markets during the second quarter of 2020. Significant mitigation measures, such as shelter-in place orders, travel bans and restrictions, among other things, established to reduce the global, state and local spread of COVID-19, have further affected the supply and demand for crude oil.

These events have negatively affected, and are expected to continue to negatively affect, the Trust鈥檚 business and results of operations. Should oil and gas wells be shut in, production be curtailed or the owners and operators of the oil and gas wells to which the Trust鈥檚 royalty interests relate decrease investment in response to lower commodity prices and conservation of capital, we would expect the Trust鈥檚 royalty income and demand for our water services to decline.

Given the dynamic nature of these events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will persist, or the extent of the impact they will have on the Trust鈥檚 business or results of operations and financial condition.

Conversion of the Trust

As previously announced on March 23, 2020, our Trustees approved a plan to reorganize the Trust from its current structure to a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. We continue to progress towards the conversion. On June 15, 2020, the Trust announced the new corporation will be named 樱桃视频 (鈥淭PL Corp鈥�) and the persons selected to serve as directors on the Board of Directors of TPL Corp. Additionally, a draft registration statement on Form 10 has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for review, on a non-public basis. It is currently anticipated that the corporate reorganization will be effective by the end of the third quarter of 2020, barring any unforeseen impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or other developments, which could potentially extend this timeframe.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Trust鈥檚 future operations and prospects, the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions, the markets for real estate in the areas in which the Trust owns real estate, applicable zoning regulations, the markets for oil and gas, the proposed reorganization of the Trust into a corporation, production limits on prorated oil and gas wells authorized by the Railroad Commission of Texas, expected competition, management鈥檚 intent, beliefs or current expectations with respect to the Trust鈥檚 future financial performance and other matters. We assume no responsibility to update any such forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (鈥淕AAP鈥�), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (鈥淪EC鈥�), our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Its purpose is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We have presented EBITDA because we believe that it is a useful supplement to net income as an indicator of operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
