HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
Key Highlights:
- Production of 53.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d") (
67% oil,75% liquids), inclusive of the impact of approximately 9.1 MBoe/d of primarily planned maintenance downtime associated with regulatory dry-dock of the HP-1 facility. - Revenue of
$377.1 million , driven by realized prices (excluding hedges) of$90.73 per barrel for oil,$32.71 per barrel for natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and$9.37 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") for natural gas. - Net Income of
$250.5 million , or$2.99 Net Income per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Income(1) of$62.8 million , or$0.75 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share. - Adjusted EBITDA(1) of
$197.6 million , or$40.52 Adjusted EBITDA per Boe; Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges of$278.7 million , or$57.16 per Boe. - Capital Expenditures of
$128.9 million , inclusive of plugging and abandonment. - Free Cash Flow(1) (after realized hedges and before changes in working capital) of
$39.4 million . - Repaid
$140.0 million in credit facility borrowings and achieved record liquidity of$806.8 million and leverage of 0.8x. Debt has been reduced by approximately$450.0 million since March 31, 2021. - Announced the strategic acquisition of EnVen Energy Corporation ("EnVen") for
$1.1 billion (2) on September 22, 2022, which is expected to add approximately 24 MBoe/d (2022E) and 78 million barrels of oil equivalent of Proved + Probable reserves (Year-End 2021 SEC).
President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented: "I'm proud of our team's efforts this quarter as we completed the planned HP-1 dry dock process. Despite the scheduled production downtime, we continued our recent trends of strong margins, solid free cash flow generation and aggressive debt repayment, which now totals almost
Duncan continued: "We expect to close our acquisition of EnVen around year end. The transaction adds material scale to our business, both in terms of production and operated infrastructure, while also diversifying our production across a broader asset base. The Company will have an even stronger financial profile post-closing with high liquidity and low leverage, plus significant expected cost synergies to further improve margins going forward. Importantly, the transaction also improves our Scope 1 GHG Intensity profile while also acting as a catalyst to make important governance enhancements to our Board of Directors as well. In summary, we believe this is an excellent transaction for Talos shareholders and look forward to completing the acquisition in the coming few months."
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Debt Repayment & Reserves-Based Loan: Talos repaid
EnVen Acquisition: On September 22, 2022, Talos announced the strategic acquisition of EnVen, a private deepwater operator in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The strategic transaction expands Talos's Gulf of Mexico operations with high margin, oil-weighted assets, is expected to be accretive to Talos shareholders on 2023E Free Cash Flow per Share(3) and is immediately de-leveraging. The transaction is expected to increase Talos's production by approximately
The mandatory 30-day waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 has elapsed and Talos has completed this regulatory step. Talos has also successfully obtained consent from its bondholders to combine the capital structures of the two companies upon closing of the transaction. Lastly, the Company filed its S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which includes documents serving as a prospectus/proxy statement for Talos and a consent solicitation statement for EnVen) ahead of the shareholder vote, which is an important step before closing the acquisition in late 2022 or early 2023.
Inflation Reduction Act: On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which stipulates two important items that benefit Talos. First, the reinstatement of Lease Sale 257 and a path forward for future Gulf of Mexico lease sales. Second, the expansion of 45Q carbon tax credits that incentivize carbon capture and sequestration ("CCS") activities, enhancing opportunities across the Company's CCS portfolio. With respect to Lease Sale 257, Talos recently entered into nine federal leases covering approximately 52,000 acres and which include several prospects that could be drilled as early as 2024.
Open Water Rig Program: The Seadrill Sevan Louisiana rig most recently commenced operations on the Company's Lime Rock prospect near its operated Ram Powell facility in Mississippi Canyon. Prior to Lime Rock, the rig was executing a recompletion on the Bulleit project that was delayed due to sustained, strong loop currents in the Green Canyon area of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Following the Lime Rock prospect, Talos intends to drill the Venice prospect, also located in proximity to the Ram Powell facility, before returning to finalize the Bulleit completion in the first quarter of 2023, and thereafter intends to drill the Rigolets prospect near the Pompano facility. Talos owns a
Platform Rig Program: Talos is currently drilling the Mount Hunter prospect from the Pompano platform and expects results in early 2023 and first production in the first quarter of 2023.
Puma West: The Puma West appraisal well in Green Canyon was spud in October 2022 and is being drilled with the Diamond Ocean BlackHornet rig. The well was previously permitted to a depth of approximately 26,700 feet. Preliminary drilling results are expected by early 2023.
Dry-Dock & Other Downtime: As previously announced as part of the Company's second quarter 2022 earnings, Talos incurred planned downtime in the quarter resulting from the HP-1 floating production unit regulatory dry-dock process as well as third-party midstream maintenance projects. The planned maintenance resulted in deferred production of approximately 8.0 MBoe/d for the quarter. All planned maintenance has subsequently been completed and been brought online. Additionally, Talos experienced unplanned downtime impacts of approximately 1.0 MBoe/d for the quarter primarily as a result of significant loop currents in the region of the HP-1 facility.
Phoenix Field Update: Production from one of the Company's Tornado wells generated increased water volumes during the third quarter primarily as a result of the ongoing sub-surface water flood project in the Phoenix Field. This water breakthrough occurred earlier than originally expected, though within the range of projected outcomes in previous reservoir simulations used for 2021 year-end reserves. We currently expect minor negative revisions to proved reserves as a result of timing impacts of early water breakthrough.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

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.
Estimates for 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, hurricanes and numerous other factors. Our estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance, 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 revisions upward or downward 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 the term "estimated ultimate recovery" in this release, which is not a measure of "reserves" prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines or permitted to be included in SEC filings. These resource estimates are inherently more uncertain than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines.

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 are "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)," "Adjusted Earnings per Share," "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges," "Free Cash Flow," "Net Debt," "LTM Adjusted EBITDA," "Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA", "Net Debt to Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA" and "Leverage". These disclosures 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 Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
"EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA" are used to 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, the net change in the 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 inventory and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges and as a percentage of revenue to further analyze our business, which are outlined below:
Adjusted EBITDA Margin. EBITDA divided by Revenue, as a percentage. It is also defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total production volume, expressed in Boe, in the period, and described as dollar per Boe. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA margin is important to provide management and investors with information about how much we retain in Adjusted EBITDA terms as compared to the revenue we generate and how much per barrel we generate after accounting for certain operational and corporate costs.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for Boe, $/Boe and percentage data):

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Free Cash Flow
"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. 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 taxes in the period, therefore cash taxes have no impact to the reported Free Cash Flow before changes in working capital number.

"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 accretion expense, transaction related costs, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA
We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Credit Facility 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 of the Company plus the finance lease balance minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt divided by the LTM Adjusted EBITDA.

The Adjusted EBITDA information included in this communication provides additional relevant information to our investors and creditors. Talos needs to comply with a financial covenant included in its Bank Credit Facility that requires it to maintain a Net Debt to Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio, as determined in accordance with the Company's credit agreement, equal to or lower than 3.0x. For purposes of covenant compliance, Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA, with certain adjustments, is calculated as the sum of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA for the 12-month period ended on that quarter, inclusive of revenue less direct operating expenditures of the Acquired Assets for periods prior to closing of the Transaction.
