Talos Energy Announces First Quarter 2025 Operational and Financial Results

Houston, Texas, May 5, 2025 – Talos Energy Inc. (“Talos” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Talos also provided second quarter 2025 guidance for production and reiterated its operational and financial guidance for the full year 2025.

First Quarter and Recent Key Highlights

 

 

Production of 100.9 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (“MBoe/d”) (68% oil, 78% liquids).

 

 

Finished well completion operations on Sunspear discovery, with first production expected late second quarter 2025.

 

 

Initiated completion operations on Katmai West #2 well, with first production expected late second quarter 2025.

 

 

Drilling operations to commence on Daenerys prospect late second quarter 2025, following the completion of the Katmai West #2 well.

 

 

Net Loss of $9.9 million, or $0.05 Net Loss per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Income* of $10.5 million, or $0.06 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share*.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA* of $363.0 million.

 

 

Capital expenditures of $117.6 million, excluding plugging and abandonment and settled decommissioning obligations.

 

 

Net cash provided by operating activities of $268.2 million.

 

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow* of $194.5 million.

 

 

Expect to allocate up to 50% of annual Free Cash Flow to share repurchases. Repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares for $22.0 million and Talos’s Board of Directors increased its stock repurchase authorization to $200 million.

 

 

Maintained a strong balance sheet with $203.0 million of cash with an undrawn credit facility, a Net Debt to Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA* of 0.8x, and liquidity of $960.2 million at March 31, 2025.

 

 

Hedge positions cover approximately 42% of the balance of 2025 expected oil production at the midpoint of guidance, with a weighted average floor price over $72 per barrel, and mark-to-market hedge book value of $120.0 million, as of April 30, 2025.

Talos President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Goodfellow stated, “I’m excited to be a part of Talos and pleased to report our fifth consecutive quarter of record production, achieving approximately 101 MBoe/d in the first quarter 2025. This milestone was accompanied by strong Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, highlighting our disciplined focus on execution. Operationally, we achieved strong results, finishing well completion operations on our Sunspear discovery. Furthermore, completion operations are underway at Katmai West #2, following successful drilling results announced in early January 2025. We remain on track for both projects to begin production in late second quarter 2025.

“At the end of the first quarter 2025, we maintained a significant cash balance, even while actively repurchasing shares, and have an undrawn credit facility. This positions Talos to manage the ongoing fluctuations in commodity prices. Our 2025 guidance, robust EBITDA margins, and strong hedge positions allow us to be free cash flow positive for the full year, even at oil prices of approximately $40 per barrel on a go-forward basis. Furthermore, we have the flexibility to adjust our 2025 capital budget, enabling us to adapt to changing market conditions and still maintain positive free cash flow.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE

Share Repurchase Program: In March 2025, Talos opportunistically repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares for $22.0 million, representing an average price of $9.61 per share. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of approximately $42.5 million to our previously approved limit, so Talos now has approximately $178.0 million remaining under the authorized program as of March 31, 2025. Under Talos’s share repurchase program, management expects to allocate up to 50% of its annual free cash flow to share repurchases. Purchases under the share repurchase program may be made from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These purchases will depend on market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors.

Production Updates:

Sunspear Completion: During the first quarter 2025, Talos successfully finished well completion operations on Sunspear with the West Vela deepwater drillship and expects first production late second quarter 2025. Talos projects production to be approximately 8-10 MBoe/d gross. Sunspear will be tied back to the Talos operated Prince platform. Talos holds a 48.0% working interest (“W.I.”), an entity managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holds a 47.5% W.I., and an undisclosed partner holds a 4.5% W.I

Katmai West: In April 2025, Talos initiated completion operations on Katmai West #2 using the West Vela after finishing completion work at Sunspear. At the beginning of 2025, Talos announced successful drilling results at Katmai West #2, encountering over 400 feet of gross hydrocarbon pay with excellent rock properties. First production is expected late second quarter 2025. The strong performance from the Katmai West #1 well and its successful appraisal have nearly doubled the anticipated proved estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR” )1 of the Katmai West field to approximately 50 MMBoe gross and affirmed Talos’s estimated gross resource potential of approximately 100 MMBoe. The greater Katmai area is estimated to contain up to a total resource potential of 200 MMBoe. Talos, as operator, holds a 50% W.I., with entities managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holding the other 50% W.I.

Project Updates:

Daenerys: Talos anticipates drilling operations commencing on the Daenerys well late second quarter 2025, utilizing the West Vela. Daenerys is a high-impact subsalt project that will evaluate the regionally prolific Middle and Lower Miocene section and carries an estimated gross resource potential between 100–300 MMBoe. Talos holds a 30% W.I., with partners Red Willow holding a 35% W.I, Cathexis holding a 25% W.I., and HEQ Deepwater holding a 10% W.I.

Monument Discovery Farm-in: In March 2025, Talos increased its interest in the Monument discovery to a 29.76% W.I., up from 21.4% W.I. Monument is a large Wilcox oil discovery in Walker Ridge blocks 271, 272, 315, and 316. Talos expects to develop it as a subsea tie-back to the Shenandoah production facility in Walker Ridge. First production is expected between 20–30 MBoe/d gross by late 2026 under restricted flow due to facility rate constraints. There is an additional drilling location adjacent to the discovery with an estimated 25–35 MMBoe that could extend the resource. Other partners include Beacon as operator with a 41.67% W.I. and Navitas Petroleum with a 28.57% W.I.

EUR is calculated as the sum of proved reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date. EUR is not a measure of “reserves” prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines. Please see “Reserve Information” at the end of this release.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication.

PRODUCTION ESTIMATES

Estimates of our future production volumes are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation, marketing and storage of oil and gas are subject to disruption due to transportation, processing and storage availability, mechanical failure, human error, adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes, global political and macroeconomic events and numerous other factors. Our estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance and estimated resource potential and ultimate recovery, which may vary significantly from those assumed. Therefore, we can give no assurance that our future production volumes will be as estimated.

RESERVE INFORMATION

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify upward or downward revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered. In addition, we use “estimated gross resource potential,” “gross reserves,” and “estimated ultimate recovery” (or EUR) which are not measures of “reserves” prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines or permitted to be included in SEC filings. These types of resource estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, are inherently more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves or other reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines. These types of estimates are subject to a substantially greater risk of actually being realized.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP INFORMATION

Certain financial information included in our financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures which may be reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of General and Administrative Expenses to Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses

We believe the presentation of Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses provides management and investors with (i) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (ii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iii) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted General & Administrative Expenses has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:

General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative Expenses generally consist of costs incurred for overhead, including payroll and benefits for our corporate staff, costs of maintaining our headquarters, costs of managing our production operations, bad debt expense, equity-based compensation expense, audit and other fees for professional services and legal compliance.

Other income (expense) includes restructuring expenses, cost saving initiatives and other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” provide management and investors with (i) additional information to evaluate, with certain adjustments, items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our debt agreements, (ii) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (iii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iv) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:

EBITDA. Net income (loss) plus interest expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation, depletion and amortization; and accretion expense.

Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA plus non-cash write-down of oil and natural gas properties, transaction and other (income) expenses, decommissioning obligations, the net change in fair value of derivatives (mark to market effect, net of cash settlements and premiums related to these derivatives), (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash write-down of other well equipment and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges. We have historically provided as a supplement to—rather than in lieu of—Adjusted EBITDA including hedges, provides useful information regarding our results of operations and profitability by illustrating the operating results of our oil and natural gas properties without the benefit or detriment, as applicable, of our financial oil and natural gas hedges. By excluding our oil and natural gas hedges, we are able to convey actual operating results using realized market prices during the period, thereby providing analysts and investors with additional information they can use to evaluate the impacts of our hedging strategies over time.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, transaction expenses includes $4.7 million in severance costs related to the departure of the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer on August 29, 2024; $9.3 million in costs related to the QuarterNorth Acquisition, inclusive of $8.1 million in severance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Other income (expense) includes restructuring expenses, cost saving initiatives and other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, it includes an incremental $13.5 million gain from the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary, Talos Low Carbon Solutions LLC, due to the recognition of contingent consideration as well as a $7.0 million increase in fair value of a service credit acquired via the QuarterNorth Acquisition.

(2)

Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency and are included in “Other operating (income) expense” on our consolidated statements of operations.

(3)

The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDA on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.

(4)

One Boe is equal to six Mcf of natural gas or one Bbl of oil or NGLs based on an approximate energy equivalency. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.

Capital Expenditures and Plugging & Abandonment. Actual capital expenditures and plugging & abandonment recognized in the quarter, inclusive of accruals.

Interest Expense. Actual interest expense per the income statement.

Talos did not pay any cash income taxes in the period, therefore cash income taxes have no impact to the reported Adjusted Free Cash Flow before changes in working capital number.

This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.

The per share impacts reflected in this table were calculated independently and may not sum to total adjusted basic and diluted EPS due to rounding.
