About this update from Amen Properties, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n Amen Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AMEN) today announced financial \n results for its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015. The Company \n posted quarterly revenue of $541 thousand and net income of $(137) \n thousand, or $(2.58) per diluted share. These results compare to revenue \n of $602 thousand and net income of $3.1 million, or $60.02 per diluted \n share, for the same quarter last year. The decrease in revenue and \n profitability was driven by reductions in commodity prices for oil and \n gas as well as gains recognized in the prior period related to the sales \n of leasehold interests and real estate.\n \n \n Amen also announced that its Company’s Board of Directors has approved \n the payment of a quarterly dividend of $10 per share and tithing \n dividend of $2.67 per share, to be paid on April 8, 2016 to shareholders \n of record as of April 1, 2016.\n \n \n Finally, Amen reiterated that its Board has approved a plan whereby the \n Company will no longer hedge the revenue stream associated with its oil \n and gas royalties. “Shareholders of Amen need to understand that they \n hold an un-hedged long oil and gas position and should pursue their own \n hedging strategy if they are uncomfortable with that risk,” said Kris \n Oliver, Amen’s Chief Executive Officer.\n \n \n The Company’s 2015 fourth quarter report is available for viewing or \n download from the company’s web site – www.amenproperties.com.\n \n \n About Amen Properties:\n \n \n Amen Properties owns a portfolio of cash-producing properties including \n real estate and oil and gas interests.\n \n \n Cautionary Statement:\n \n \n This document contains forward-looking statements, which involve a \n number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to \n differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking \n statements.
