New Concept Energy, Inc. (GBR)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q1 2025 revenue was $38,000, up modestly year over year (+5.6%) driven by rent ($26,000) and management fees ($12,000); the company reported a net loss of ($20,000) versus net income of $2,000 in Q1 2024 and EPS of ($0.01) versus $0.01 a year ago .
  • Operating cost pressure persisted: corporate G&A rose to $89,000 from $78,000 YoY, and interest income declined to $43,000 from $57,000, contributing to negative operating leverage and the quarterly loss .
  • The company provided no formal guidance and did not hold an earnings call or release a transcript; consensus estimates from S&P Global were unavailable for EPS and revenue, limiting beat/miss assessment .
  • Prior quarter Q4 2024 registered a net loss of ($19,000); combined with rising G&A and falling interest income, near-term catalysts hinge on oil price–linked management fees (10% of third-party oil & gas revenues) and cost control .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Revenue mix remained stable: rent $26,000 and management fees $12,000, supporting total revenue of $38,000 in Q1 2025 (vs. $36,000 in Q1 2024) .
  • Rent revenue consistency across recent quarters (Q2 2024 $25,000; Q3 2024 $26,000; Q1 2025 $26,000) provided baseline cash generation from the West Virginia property .
  • Management reiterated fee linkage to oil and gas revenues (10% fee), offering some upside if commodity prices recover: “The management agreement has the Company receiving a management fee of 10% of oil and gas revenue. The decrease in management fees is due to a decrease in revenue due to a decline in oil and gas prices.” .

What Went Wrong

  • Q1 2025 flipped to loss: net loss ($20,000) vs Q1 2024 net income $2,000; diluted EPS ($0.01) vs $0.01, indicating deterioration in profitability .
  • G&A rose materially to $89,000 from $78,000 YoY, outweighing modest revenue gains and pressuring operating results (loss from operations of ($63,000) vs ($55,000) a year ago) .
  • Interest income fell to $43,000 from $57,000 YoY and trended down versus recent quarters (Q2 2024 $56,000; Q3 2024 $52,000), reducing non-operating support to earnings .

Management Commentary

  • Business model reminder: “New Concept Energy, Inc. is a Dallas-based company which owns real estate in West Virginia and provides management services for a third-party oil and gas company.” .
  • Fee structure and macro driver: “The management agreement has the Company receiving a management fee of 10% of oil and gas revenue. The decrease in management fees is due to a decrease in revenue due to a decline in oil and gas prices.” (FY 2024 vs 2023 commentary) .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue remains small and stable, supported by rent ($26,000) and management fees ($12,000) for total $38,000 in Q1 2025; scale limits operating leverage absent cost reductions .
  • Rising G&A ($89,000 vs $78,000 YoY) and declining interest income ($43,000 vs $57,000 YoY) drove the swing to a net loss of ($20,000) and EPS of ($0.01) .
  • Prior quarter Q4 2024 also posted a net loss ($19,000), underscoring a string of soft results as non-operating support (interest income) fades .
  • Management fees are directly tied to oil and gas revenue (10%), making commodity prices a key external driver for the top line and the revenue mix .
  • Balance sheet remains modestly liquid: cash $333,000 at March 31, 2025 vs $363,000 at December 31, 2024; current liabilities decreased to $48,000 from $57,000, equity at $4,517,000 .
  • No guidance and no earnings call transcript limit visibility and external coverage; monitoring quarterly releases for cost actions and interest income trends is critical .
  • Near-term focus: cost control to offset small revenue base; medium-term thesis depends on stabilization/improvement in interest income and oil-linked management fees to reduce recurring losses .
