TALOS ENERGY INC. Talos Energy Announces Second Quarter 2022 Operational and Financial Results
Houston, Texas, August 4, 2022 - Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2022.
Key Highlights:
| • | Production of 65.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d") (67% oil, 75% liquids). |
| • | Revenue of $519.1 million, driven by realized prices (excluding hedges) of $108.03 per barrel for oil, $37.79 per barrel for natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and $8.00 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") for natural gas. |
| • | Net Income of $195.1 million, or $2.33 Net Income per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Income(1) of $100.6 million, or $1.20 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $250.8 million, or $42.13 Adjusted EBITDA per Boe; Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges of $411.0 million, or $69.04 per Boe. |
| • | Capital Expenditures of $85.9 million, inclusive of plugging and abandonment. |
| • | Free Cash Flow(1) (before changes in working capital) of $134.1 million. |
| • | Achieved 1.0x leverage ratio as of June 30, 2022 through the repayment of $146.1 million in credit facility borrowings and 7.5% Notes and achieved record liquidity of $702.2 million; Net Debt has been reduced by $344.1 million since March 31, 2021. |
| • | Expanded the Bayou Bend carbon capture and sequestration ("CCS") joint venture through Chevron U.S.A Inc.'s ("Chevron") acquisition of a 50% interest in exchange for $50 million of gross consideration. |
President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented: "It was a strong quarter for Talos as we achieved rapid debt reduction led by record-breaking revenue and cost control efforts despite macro inflationary pressures. Through our steady focus on significant free cash flow generation and substantial debt paydown, we've achieved the lowest leverage multiple and highest liquidity in the history of Talos. In the second half of the year we will initiate our operated open water rig program testing a series of exciting, high-impact drilling opportunities and expect to spud our Puma West appraisal well early in the fourth quarter."
Duncan continued: "In our CCS business, we closed the previously announced Bayou Bend transaction with Chevron and Carbonvert, welcoming Chevron into the joint venture that is developing the country's first and only major offshore CO2 sequestration project. We expect to spud the first stratigraphic evaluation well this year to expedite the EPA Class VI permitting process while continuing to engage potential industrial customers. Utilizing our technical and commercial skill sets, gained through decades of regional experience, to provide CCS-as-a-Service along the U.S. Gulf Coast exemplifies our commitment to balancing responsible energy production with tangible carbon management solutions for the future, a combination that we believe underpins what the energy company of the future looks like for all of its stakeholders."
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Debt Repayment: Talos repaid $140.0 million of credit facility borrowings and $6.1 million of 7.5% Notes at maturity in the second quarter, reducing overall leverage to 1.0x Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. The Company ended the quarter with liquidity of $702.2 million, the highest in Talos's history, and expects to continue to reduce credit facility borrowings in the second half of 2022.
Inflation Reduction Act: Talos is closely monitoring recent legislative developments regarding the Inflation Reduction Act, which contain numerous provisions relevant to the Company's Upstream and CCS business units. Among the Upstream provisions are the reinstatement of winning bids from OCS Lease Sale 257, in which Talos was one of the most active bidders and was the high bidder on over 57,000 gross acres across ten deepwater blocks. Additionally, the legislation would mandate three specific additional lease sales in the future and require oil and gas lease sales in conjunction with offshore wind lease sales going forward. For the Company's CCS business, the legislation includes provisions that could increase the 45Q credit for permanent CO2 sequestration to $85/ton from the current $50/ton, as well as adding a direct pay component to the current federal income tax credit structure. The Inflation Reduction Act has not been passed in the U.S. Senate and any final legislation may be different from the legislative text that is currently proposed.
CCS: Talos, through its Talos Low Carbon Solutions division, and Carbonvert, Inc. ("Carbonvert") announced and subsequently closed a transaction to expand the Bayou Bend CCS joint venture through the acquisition of a 50% interest by Chevron for $30.0 million of gross upfront cash and up to $20.0 million of gross future capital cost reimbursement, expected to cover capital expenditures through FID. Equity interests in the venture are now 25% Talos, 25% Carbonvert and 50% Chevron, and Talos is the operator. The three companies also established an Area of Mutual Interest ("AMI") over the full ~231,000-acre Jefferson County offshore region contemplated in the State of Texas's original request for proposal, aligning the parties for future expansion opportunities.

Third Quarter Expected Downtime: Following deferral of the planned dry-dock maintenance process from June 2022 into the third quarter, Talos has begun mobilizing the HP-1 vessel to shore for regulatory-required maintenance. Talos expects dry-dock to result in 6.0 - 9.0 MBoe/d of deferred production as well as incremental operating and capital costs in the third quarter. Preparatory costs of approximately $11.5 million are included in the second quarter operating expenses. Additionally, Talos expects planned third-party midstream downtime and other miscellaneous planned downtime activities to result in 4.0 - 5.0 MBoe/d of deferred production. Talos's previously issued annual operational and financial guidance is inclusive of both the HP-1dry-dock and third-party midstream downtime estimates, as well as hurricane risking. However, the majority of hurricane downtime impact is typically incurred in the third quarter.
Operated Deepwater Rig Program: Talos expects to take possession of the Seadrill Sevan Louisiana deepwater rig in mid-August, initiating its open water program that includes six total operations between second half of 2022 and first half of 2023, four of which are exploitation wells targeting 65-100 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe") of cumulative gross unrisked resources and utilizing Talos-operated facilities for accelerated subsea development. The Company will spud the Lime Rock prospect, the first of the four exploitation targets, following a deepwater recompletion. Prior to initiating the rig program, Talos successfully obtained industry validation for these prospects, attracting non-operated working interest partners in each of the Lime Rock, Venice and Rigolets projects. Talos now owns a 60% working interest in each of these projects. Additionally, if successful, we expect each well to produce between 5.0 - 15.0 MBoe/d gross with expected timeline to first oil between 12-18 months.
Non-Operated Deepwater Rig Program: Talos expects the Puma West appraisal well to spud early in the fourth quarter with results expected by early 2023. The appraisal follows the successful 2021 exploration discovery well along with co-owners bp plc ("bp") (Operator) and Chevron. The well has been permitted to a depth of approximately 26,700 feet and will be drilled with the Diamond Ocean BlackHornet rig, currently working for bp. In the Gunflint Field, (9.6% working interest) Talos has participated in two successful workovers and anticipates initiating the MC 992 #1 sidetrack well by year-end. Lastly, Talos is actively working with a large industry partner to finalize a five-block exploration unit comprising 28,800 gross acres in the Walker Ridge and Green Canyon areas on which the Company expects to participate in a high-impact exploration prospect in the first half of 2023.
Zama: Talos is actively working with Petróleos Mexicanos ("Pemex") and its Block 7 partners Wintershall Dea and Harbour Energy to finalize the Zama Field Development Plan ("FDP"), targeting submission to National Hydrocarbons Commission ("CNH") latest by March 2023, as required in the unitization resolution. Upon approval, the parties will then move toward FID later in 2023. Concurrently, the parties are discussing the formation of an Integrated Project Team, which would include representatives of each company and would report to the Unit Operating Committee, to manage the field's development.
Pompano Platform Rig Program: The Company's Seville exploitation well failed to discover commercial quantities of hydrocarbons in late July. The platform rig program has shifted to begin preparations for the Mount Hunter development well, with spud expected in the third quarter and first oil in early 2023.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this communication, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this communication, the words "will," "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "forecast," "may," "objective," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events.
We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility due to the continued impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"), including any new strains or variants, and governmental measures related thereto on global demand for oil and natural gas and on the operations of our business; the ability or willingness of OPEC and other state-controlled oil companies ("OPEC Plus"), such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, to set and maintain oil production levels; the impact of any such actions; the lack of a resolution to the war in Ukraine and its impact on certain commodity markets; lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government and regulations; lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services; adverse weather events, including tropical storms, hurricanes and winter storms; cybersecurity threats; sustained inflation and the impact of central bank policy in response thereto; environmental risks; failure to find, acquire or gain access to other discoveries and prospects or to successfully develop and produce from our current discoveries and prospects; geologic risk; drilling and other operating risks; well control risk; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production; cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; potential adverse reactions or competitive responses to our acquisitions and other transactions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of acquired assets and operations, and the other risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Talos Energy Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Talos Energy Inc.'s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Talos Energy Inc's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, to be filed with the SEC subsequent to the issuance of this communication. 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. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. 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 "cumulative gross unrisked resource" 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.

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

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.
