ECA Marcellus Trust I announced a quarterly distribution of $0.020 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

The distribution is expected to be paid on or before August 29, 2025, to holders of record as of August 25, 2025.

The Trust has been gradually building a cash reserve for future expenses since the first quarter of 2019.

Cash Reserve Increase

Cash reserve amount increased from $1.8 million to $3.8 million in November 2021.

Quarterly Withholding

$90,000 per quarter withheld to reach the total cash reserve target.

Royalty Interests

The Trust owns royalty interests in natural gas properties in the Marcellus Shale formation.

  • The Trust's distributions fluctuate based on natural gas prices and production proceeds.
  • Low natural gas prices can reduce cash available for distribution to unitholders.
  • Commodity price volatility directly affects the Trust's ability to pay distributions.

Investors in ECA Marcellus Trust I should monitor natural gas prices and production proceeds as they directly impact future distributions.
