, /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Talos also provided third quarter 2025 guidance for production and updated its operational and financial guidance for the full year 2025. Second Quarter and Recent Key Highlights Announced enhanced corporate strategy designed to position Talos as a leading pure-play offshore E&P company. Improved full-year 2025 guidance reflects higher production, lower operating expenses and lower capital expenditures. Produced 93.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d") (69% oil, 77% liquids). Initiated first production from Katmai West #2 and Sunspear wells(1). Resumed drilling operations at the Daenerys prospect, with results anticipated by the end of the third quarter of 2025. Recorded Net Loss of $185.9 million which includes $223.9 million of non-cash ceiling test impairment charges, or $1.05 Net Loss per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Loss(2) of $48.3 million, or $0.27 Adjusted Net Loss per diluted share(2). Generated Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $294.2 million. Allocated $126.1 million to capital expenditures, excluding plugging and abandonment and settled decommissioning obligations. Recorded net cash provided by operating activities of $351.6 million. Generated Adjusted Free Cash Flow(2) of $98.5 million. Repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares for $32.6 million. Improved balance sheet with $357.3 million of cash, an undrawn credit facility, a Net Debt to Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA(2) of 0.7x, as of June 30, 2025. Increased hedge positions that cover over 38% of the second half of 2025 expected oil production at the midpoint of guidance, with a weighted average floor price approximately $71.50 per barrel, and mark-to-market hedge book value of $56 million, as of June 30, 2025. "We continued to deliver on our commitments this quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow exceeding consensus estimates," said Paul Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Talos. "This strong performance enabled us to repurchase 3.8 million shares for approximately $33 million, reflecting our continued commitment to returning capital to shareholders while also increasing our cash position to $357 million. Operationally, we reached several key milestones this quarter, including first production from our Katmai West #2 and Sunspear wells, the resumption of drilling at the high-impact Daenerys prospect, and continued advancement of our Monument development. We exited the second quarter with a solid financial foundation, including a leverage ratio of approximately 0.7x and total liquidity of approximately $1.0 billion." "With our enhanced corporate strategy in motion, we are strategically positioning Talos in the long-term to further lead in the offshore E&P sector, which we expect will play an increasing larger role in supplying global energy demand. We will continue to capitalize on this trend by leveraging our unique capabilities, low-cost operating structure, and solid balance sheet to ensure flexibility to manage through cycles while remaining committed to returning capital to shareholders." Footnotes: (1) In July, production from Sunspear was temporarily shut in due to an early failure of the surface-controlled subsurface safety valve ("SCSSV"). Talos expects Sunspear to return to production in late October 2025. (2) Please see "Supplemental Non-GAAP Information" for details and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE Corporate Strategy: In June 2025, Talos announced its enhanced corporate strategy designed to position the Company as a leading pure-play offshore exploration and production company. The three pillars of Talos's new strategy are: Improve our business every day. Talos is targeting approximately $100 million in increased annualized cash flow in 2026 through capital efficiency, margin enhancement, commercial opportunities, and general organizational improvements. Grow production and profitability. Talos plans to invest in high-margin organic projects, complemented by disciplined, accretive bolt-on acquisitions in deepwater basins, which will enhance production and profitability. Build a long-lived, scaled portfolio. Talos will take a strategic and measured approach in assessing opportunities within the Gulf of America and other conventional offshore basins. A scaled portfolio will provide Talos with significant production growth potential, and ultimately the ability to generate long-term consistent free cash flow. Share Repurchase Program: In the second quarter of 2025, Talos opportunistically repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares for $32.6 million, representing an average price of $8.48 per share. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 6.1 million shares for $54.6 million. 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: Late in the second quarter of 2025, Talos successfully initiated first production from the Sunspear well, which is tied back to the Talos-operated Prince platform. In July, production was temporarily shut in due to an early failure of the surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (SCSSV). The West Vela rig is scheduled to return to the well following the drilling of the Daenerys exploration prospect and Talos expects Sunspear to return to production in late October 2025. Estimates of Sunspear's initial productive capacity is expected to be at the high end of the range. Talos holds a 48.0% working interest ("W.I.") in the well, an entity managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holds a 47.5% W.I., and H.E. holds a 4.5% W.I. Katmai West: Also, late in the second quarter of 2025, Talos successfully initiated first production from the Katmai West #2 well. Total gross production from the Katmai East and West fields is approximately 35 Mboe/d (71% oil), which flows to the Talos-operated Tarantula platform. Given that the facility at Tarantula is at maximum capacity the current production rate is estimated to remain at that level for several years. The greater Katmai area is estimated to contain a total resource potential of up to 200 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe"). Talos, as operator, holds a 50% W.I., with entities managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holding 50% W.I. Project Updates: Daenerys: Talos is currently drilling the Daenerys exploratory well, utilizing the West Vela deepwater drillship. Daenerys is a high-impact subsalt prospect that will evaluate the regionally prolific Middle and Lower Miocene section and carries an estimated pre-drill gross resource potential between 100–300 MMBoe. Results are anticipated by the end of the third quarter of 2025. Talos, as operator, holds a 30% W.I., Shell Offshore Inc. holds a 25% W.I., Red Willow holds a 25% W.I., Cathexis holds a 10% W.I., and HEQ Deepwater holds 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. There is an additional drilling location adjacent to the discovery with an estimated 25–35 MMBoe that could extend the resource. Beacon Offshore Energy LLC as operator, holds a 41.67% W.I., and Navitas Petroleum LP holds a 28.57% W.I. Impairment In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $223.9 million non-cash ceiling test impairment charge. Capitalized oil and natural gas costs are limited to a ceiling based on the present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, computed using a discount factor of 10%, plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved oil and natural gas properties not being amortized less the related tax effects. The Company performs this ceiling test calculation each quarter utilizing pricing as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

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. USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This release includes the use of certain measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP) such as, but not limited to, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Leverage, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per diluted share, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Cash Operating Expenses and Workovers, Adjusted General & Administrative Expense and PV-10. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under 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. ($ thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Reconciliation of General & Administrative Expenses to Adjusted General & AdministrativeExpenses: Total General and administrative expense $ 39,430 Transaction expenses (663) Non-cash equity-based compensation expense (4,403) Adjusted General & Administrative Expenses $ 34,364 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 impairment 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. The following tables present a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of Net Income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges for each of the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended ($ thousands) June 30, 2025 March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA: Net Income (loss) $ (185,937) $ (9,868) $ (64,508) $ 88,173 Interest expense 40,811 40,927 41,536 46,275 Income tax expense (benefit) (36,426) (91) 9,448 18,111 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 269,706 280,716 274,554 274,249 Accretion expense 32,046 30,894 30,551 29,418 EBITDA 120,200 342,578 291,581 456,226 Impairment of oil and natural gas properties 223,881 — — — Transaction and other (income) expenses(1) (773) (4,579) 1,193 (17,687) Decommissioning obligations(2) 76 (157) 797 2,725 Derivative fair value (gain) loss(3) (86,855) 15,853 42,989 (126,291) Net cash received (paid) on settled derivative instruments(3) 33,315 5,167 19,651 6,071 Non-cash equity-based compensation expense 4,403 4,141 5,603 3,315 Adjusted EBITDA 294,247 363,003 361,814 324,359 Add: Net cash (received) paid on settled derivative instruments(3) (33,315) (5,167) (19,651) (6,071) Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges $ 260,932 $ 357,836 $ 342,163 $ 318,288 Production: Boe(4) 8,494 9,080 9,081 8,878 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges margin: Adjusted EBITDA per Boe(4) $ 34.64 $ 39.98 $ 39.84 $ 36.54 Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges per Boe(1)(4) $ 30.72 $ 39.41 $ 37.68 $ 35.85 (1) For the three months ended September 30, 2024, transaction expenses include $4.7 million of severance costs related to the departure of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer on August 29, 2024. Other income (expense) includes 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. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" before changes in working capital 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 Free Cash Flow 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: 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. ($ thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow (before changes in working capital): Adjusted EBITDA $ 294,247 Capital expenditures (124,061) Plugging & abandonment (28,497) Decommissioning obligations settled (350) Investment in Mexico (1,996) Interest expense (40,811) Adjusted Free Cash Flow (before changes in working capital) 98,532 ($ thousands) Three Months EndedJune 30, 2025 Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow (beforechanges in working capital): Net cash provided by operating activities(1) $ 351,637 (Increase) decrease in operating assets and liabilities (87,524) Capital expenditures(2) (124,061) Decommissioning obligations settled (350) Investment in Mexico (1,996) Transaction and other (income) expenses(3) (773) Decommissioning obligations(4) 76 Amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount (1,865) Income tax benefit (36,426) Other adjustments (186) Adjusted Free Cash Flow (before changes in working capital) 98,532 (1) Includes settlement of asset retirement obligations. (2) Includes accruals and excludes acquisitions. (3) Other income (expense) includes other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. (4) 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. Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and "Adjusted Earnings per Share" are to provide 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 Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) plus impairment of oil and natural gas properties, transaction related costs, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments, income tax expense (benefit) and non-cash equity-based compensation expense. Adjusted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the number of common shares.

(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. (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 Net Income (Loss) on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled. (4) 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. Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is important to provide management and investors with additional important information to evaluate our business. These measures are widely used by investors and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Net Debt. Total Debt principal minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt divided by the LTM Adjusted EBITDA.
