Neil Patel's questions to Natural Resource Partners LP (NRP) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Neil Patel asked about the company's philosophy on repurchasing common units, given the high free cash flow yield, and noted that language in the new credit agreement seemed to provide more flexibility for such actions.
Answer
Craig Nunez, President and Chief Operating Officer, affirmed that NRP would consider unit repurchases if they traded at a material discount to intrinsic value. He also confirmed that a key reason for the new credit agreement was to 'loosen up some of the handcuffs' from when NRP was less creditworthy, making it easier to execute actions like unit repurchases in the future.
