HOUSTON, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Talos also updated its operational and financial guidance for the full year 2025.
Third Quarter and Recent Key Highlights
"As we continue to execute our strategy, we are seeing clear, measurable results as evidenced by an outstanding third quarter of production outperformance, capital discipline and expense management," said Paul Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Talos. "We have accelerated progress on our Optimal Performance Plan, surpassing our year-end 2025 target of $25 million. To date, the team has realized over $40 million in free cash flow enhancements, giving us excellent momentum toward achieving our $100 million target in 2026."
"Third quarter results continued our track record of consistent operational execution, strong financial results, and returning capital to our shareholders. The Company generated over $100 million of adjusted free cash flow which enabled us to repurchase 5 million shares for approximately $48 million, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders."
"Operationally, we announced a successful exploration discovery at Daenerys and plan to drill an appraisal well in the second quarter of 2026 to further delineate this exciting discovery. In the third quarter, the absence of storm activity, strong base performance from our assets, and solid facility uptime contributed to production results that exceeded expectations."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Operations Updates:
Production Update: During the third quarter, the absence of storm activity, strong base performance across the asset base and facility uptime allowed Talos to exceed production expectations. The Talos-operated Tarantula facility, which processes production from the Katmai field, achieved a sustained output of over 36 Mboe/d through debottlenecking efforts.
Sunspear: In late September, Talos successfully replaced the surface-controlled subsurface safety valve ("SCSSV"). The well is back on line and is currently flowing to the Talos owned Prince facility. 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 Houston Energy, L.P. holds a 4.5% W.I.
Daenerys: In August, Talos announced successful drilling results at the Daenerys exploration prospect located on Walker Ridge blocks 106, 107, 150 and 151. The discovery well was drilled to a total vertical depth of 33,228 feet utilizing the West Vela deepwater drillship and encountered oil pay in multiple high-quality, sub-salt Miocene sands. The well was drilled approximately 12 days ahead of schedule and was delivered approximately $16 million under budget. The discovery well has been temporarily suspended to preserve its future utility. Talos plans to drill an appraisal well in the second quarter of 2026 to further define the discovered resource. The Company is encouraged by the results of the Daenerys discovery well, which confirms the presence of oil and validates Talos's geologic and geophysical models. Talos, as operator, holds a 27% W.I., Shell Offshore Inc. holds a 22.5% W.I., Red Willow holds a 22.5% W.I., Houston Energy, L.P. holds 10%, HEQ II Daenerys, LLC holds 9% W.I., and Cathexis holds a 9% W.I.
Monument: 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 with committed firm capacity of 20 MBbl/d. The Company expects the first well to be spud by early first quarter of 2026. 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 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe") that could extend the resource. Beacon Offshore Energy LLC as operator, holds a 41.7% W.I., Talos holds 29.7% W.I. and Navitas Petroleum LP holds a 28.6% W.I.
Share Repurchase Program:
In the third quarter of 2025, Talos repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares for $48.1 million, representing an average price of $9.66 per share. In 2025, the Company has repurchased 11.1 million shares for $102.7 million that have reduced its outstanding share count by 6%. The remaining share repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2025 is approximately $97 million. Under Talos's capital allocation framework, management expects to allocate up to 50% of annual free cash flow to share repurchases. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the Company's share repurchase program will depend on market conditions, share price, legal requirements, and other factors, and may be made from time to time in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Optimal Performance Plan for Cash Flow Enhancements:
In June 2025, Talos announced the Optimal Performance Plan for Cash Flow Enhancements targeting improvements in capital efficiency, margin enhancement, commercial opportunities, and organizational performance. The Company set a year-end 2025 target of $25 million which was exceeded and achieved ahead of schedule during the third quarter of 2025 by accelerating capital efficiency, operating cost and production optimization opportunities. Talos has realized over $40 million in free cash flow enhancements in 2025, providing the Company excellent momentum toward achieving the $100 million target in 2026.
Impairment:
Talos accounts for its assets under the Full Cost method where the ceiling test impairment is calculated each quarter utilizing 12-month trailing commodity prices. Driven by lower average oil prices, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $60.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 under the "ceiling test" of its full cost pool of oil and gas assets. This non-cash charge will have no impact on cash flows of the Company.
Surety Bond Framework:
The offshore surety bond market has undergone a recent structural shift driven largely by supply-side constraints and tightening market conditions. The lower risk tolerance and reduced market capacity of surety providers is leading to overall reduced bond capacity for offshore operators. In early November, the Company proactively entered into multi-year arrangements with its surety bond providers to limit the amount of collateral the Company will be required to provide on existing surety bonds through 2031. In return for manageable annual collateral commitments and manageable plugging and abandonment spending commitments by the Company, the surety providers have agreed not to require additional collateral under their existing surety agreements above the newly established amounts, draw on letters of credit posted for the sureties' benefit, or cancel any existing surety bonds unless requested by the Company. The Company's collateral commitments are estimated to range between $40 million and $45 million per year through 2031. The first year of collateral commitments will be covered by a letter of credit and subsequent years could be funded by either letters of credit or cash. These estimated collateral commitments are based on the Company's current surety bond exposure and will be reduced as the Company completes decommissioning activity and existing bonds are released. New surety bonds are not subject to these collateral limits. The Company believes this novel approach is advantageous in limiting the Company's collateral commitments on existing bonds while enhancing its future access to the surety bonds in a tightening market.

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 infrastructure constraints, 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 may use "estimated resource potential," "gross reserves," "estimated resource," "total recoverable resource potential" 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 may include the use of various 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, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., LTM Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., Net Debt, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to Talos Energy Inc. and Leverage, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. excluding hedges, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. 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. Reconciliations for non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are included at the end of this release.

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.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc.
"EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA attribtuable to Talos Energy Inc." 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attribtuable to Talos Energy Inc. 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), net income (loss) attribtuable to Talos Energy Inc., 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 attributable to Talos Energy Inc. Adjusted EBITDA, less adjustments for noncontrolling interest.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. 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) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. excluding hedges for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

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, 2025, it includes the derecognition of $8.9 million related to a deferred payment that was deemed uncollectible. |

|

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 attributable to Talos Energy Inc. on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled. |

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 attributable to Talos Energy Inc. to Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to Talos Energy Inc. and Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to Talos Energy Inc.
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to Talos Energy Inc." 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 attributable to Talos Energy Inc. 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), net income (loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc., 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 attributable to Talos Energy Inc. before changes in working capital number.
