How did the partnership’s cash flow and dividend distribution compare to prior quarters?

Answer

The press release you quoted only provides the partnership’s net‑income figure for the quarter ended June 30 2025 ( $12.347 million, or $0.25 per common unit). It does not include any details about:

  1. Cash‑flow metrics – such as operating cash flow, cash flow from investing or financing activities, or free cash flow for the quarter.
  2. Dividend or distribution information – there is no mention of the amount (if any) that Dorchester Minerals, L.P. paid out to unit holders, the timing of a distribution, or a comparison to previous quarters’ payouts.

Because those two items are absent from the release, we cannot determine from this specific news item how the partnership’s cash‑flow generation or dividend/distribution policy in Q2 2025 differed from prior quarters.

What you can do next

Step Why it helps How to obtain the data
1. Review earlier press releases Dorchester Minerals typically reports cash‑flow and distribution figures in its quarterly earnings announcements. Comparing the Q2 2025 release with the Q1 2025, Q4 2024, etc., will let you see any changes in cash‑generation or payout levels. Search the company’s investor‑relations site or newswire services (e.g., GlobeNewswire, Business Wire) for “Dorchester Minerals, L.P. Announces First Quarter Results 2025,” “Third Quarter Results 2024,” etc.
2. Check the Form 10‑Q filing The SEC quarterly report includes a cash‑flow statement (Statement of Cash Flows) and a “Distributions” section that details any cash, in‑kind, or other unit‑level payouts. Go to the SEC’s EDGAR database, locate the most recent Form 10‑Q for Dorchester Minerals (ticker DMLP), and review the “Cash Flow” and “Distributions” tables.
3. Look at the partnership’s dividend policy Understanding the policy (e.g., target payout ratio, distribution frequency) lets you gauge whether a change is due to policy or simply a result of cash‑flow variation. The policy is usually outlined in the partnership’s proxy statement or on its website under “Investor Information → Distributions.”
4. Use third‑party financial data providers Platforms like Bloomberg, FactSet, or S&P Capital IQ aggregate cash‑flow and distribution data and often provide quarter‑over‑quarter change percentages. Pull the “Cash Flow from Operations” and “Distributions per Unit” series for DMLP and calculate YoY/QoQ changes.

Quick recap

  • Current release: Only net income is disclosed; cash flow and dividend/distribution details are missing.
  • Comparison to prior quarters: Not possible from the information given.
  • How to find the answer: Consult earlier earnings releases, the SEC Form 10‑Q, the partnership’s dividend policy, or a financial‑data platform for the missing cash‑flow and distribution figures, then perform a quarter‑by‑quarter comparison.

If you locate the missing data and need help interpreting the trends (e.g., “operating cash flow rose 15 % vs. Q1 2025 while distributions fell 10 %”), feel free to share those numbers and I can walk you through the analysis.
