KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

 

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-August 7, 2023-- Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos" or the
"Company") (NYSE/LSE: KOS) announced today its financial and operating results
for the second quarter of 2023. For the quarter, the Company generated a net
income of $23 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. When adjusted
for certain items that impact the comparability of results, the Company
generated an adjusted net income((1)) of $27 million, or $0.06 per diluted
share for the second quarter of 2023.

 

SECOND QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

 

•     Net Production((2)): ~58,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day
(boepd), with sales of ~45,200 boepd

 

•     Revenues: $273 million, or $66.38 per boe (excluding the impact of
derivative cash settlements)

 

•     Production expense: $64 million, or $15.45 per boe

 

•     Capital expenditures: $170 million

 

•     Post-quarter end, start-up of the Jubilee South East development
with the field now producing ~100,000 barrels of oil per day gross

Commenting on the Company's second quarter 2023 performance, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "Kosmos continued to deliver on
its strategy with the commencement of production from the Jubilee South East
development in July. The start up of the first of three key development
projects for Kosmos is an important step to realizing the free cash flow
inflection point we expect as production rises and capital spending starts to
fall. With the additional production from Jubilee year-to-date, we are
currently around half way to achieving our 50% production growth target from
2022 levels.

 

"Further production growth is expected later in the year as additional Jubilee
wells come online. Our other key projects, Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Phase 1 in
Mauritania and Senegal, and Winterfell in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico continue to
progress with first gas at Tortue expected in the first quarter of 2024 and
first oil at Winterfell expected around the end of the first quarter of 2024.
We are approaching an exciting time for the business as we begin to benefit
from the delivery of our multi-year investment program."

 

FINANCIAL UPDATE

 

Net capital expenditure for the second quarter of 2023 was $170 million, below
guidance primarily due to lower accruals related to the delay in the subsea
workscope on Tortue Phase 1.

 

Realized pricing for the quarter of $65.40 per boe, including derivative cash
settlements, was lower compared to the first quarter due to lower commodity
prices during the period.

 

Kosmos exited the second quarter of 2023 with approximately $2.4 billion of
total long-term debt and approximately $2.3 billion of net debt((1)) and
available liquidity of approximately $0.7 billion. The Company generated net
cash provided by operating activities of approximately $18 million and free
cash flow((1)) of approximately $(175) million in the second quarter, in line
with expectations, largely as a result of the underlift position at the end of
the second quarter.

 

 

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

 

Production

 

Total net production((2)) in the second quarter of 2023 averaged approximately
58,000 boepd, in line with company guidance, with current production around
25% higher post the startup of Jubilee South East. The Company exited the
quarter in a net material underlift position of approximately 1 million
barrels, which is expected to reverse in the second half of the year.

 

Ghana

 

Production in Ghana averaged approximately 33,700 boepd net in the second
quarter of 2023. Kosmos lifted two cargos from Ghana during the quarter, in
line with guidance.

 

At Jubilee, production averaged approximately 72,700 bopd gross during the
quarter, in line with the previous quarter.

 

Post the end of the second quarter, the Jubilee South East (JSE) development
commenced production with two wells coming online, approximately a month
behind schedule. The two new JSE wells took gross Jubilee production to around
100,000 bopd. An additional Jubilee producer well and two water injector wells
are expected online later in the year, which should further enhance production
levels towards the facility limit.

 

At TEN, production averaged approximately 19,700 bopd gross for the second
quarter, in line with expectations.

 

A draft amended plan of development for a high-graded activity set at TEN and
a combined gas sales agreement for Jubilee and TEN are currently being
progressed with the Government of Ghana for approval. To allow the Government
of Ghana time to secure the necessary approvals, an interim gas sales
agreement for Jubilee associated gas has been signed through September 2023 at
a price of $2.90/mmbtu.

 

U.S. Gulf of Mexico

 

Production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico averaged approximately 15,900 boepd net
(~81% oil) during the second quarter, in line with guidance.

 

The Winterfell project continues to make good progress with drilling of the
first phase of the development wells  expected to start in the third quarter.
Partners are targeting first oil around the end of the first quarter of 2024.

 

Tiberius, an infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) well, targeting a four-way
structural trap with a pre-drill gross resource estimate of ~135 million
barrels of oil, commenced drilling early in the third quarter with initial
results expected late in the quarter.

 

Production from the Kodiak ST-3 well has improved over the quarter and, as a
result, the timing for the well workover is being optimized to include a third
producing zone and is now expected to complete mid-2024.

 

The Odd Job subsea pump project, intended to sustain long-term production from
the field, continues to progress and remains on track to be in service by
mid-2024.

 

Equatorial Guinea

Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 24,000 bopd gross and
8,400 bopd net in the second quarter of 2023. Kosmos lifted 0.5 cargos from
Equatorial Guinea during the quarter, in line with guidance. In July, the
partnership lifted the 500th cargo from the FPSO, a major milestone for the
fields.

The infill drilling campaign is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of
2023 following a two well workover program utilizing the drilling rig. The
first of three infill wells is expected to be online around the end of the
first quarter 2024.

 

The Akeng Deep ILX opportunity, a well targeting an estimated pre-drill gross
resource of ~180 million barrels of oil in the deeper Albian trend, is
expected to spud next year following the completion of the infill drilling
campaign.

Mauritania & Senegal

 

As communicated with the Company's first quarter 2023 results, critical path
to first gas on Phase 1 of the Greater Tortue project is through the
completion of the subsea work scope. As a result of a delay in these
activities, first gas for the project is now targeted in the first quarter of
2024, with the delivery of the other work scopes being optimized for the
updated project schedule. The following milestones were achieved during the
period:

 

•     FLNG: Construction and mechanical completion activities are
finishing and pre-commissioning work is underway. Sailaway is targeted around
the end of the third quarter of 2023 with the vessel expected to arrive on
location around the end of 2023 when hookup work is expected to commence.

•     FPSO: In January 2023, the FPSO vessel departed China making a
planned stopover in Singapore to install the fair leads. Arrival on location
offshore Mauritania/Senegal is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 to align
with the revised schedule for the subsea work scope.

•     Hub Terminal: Construction work is complete, and activity is
focused on progressing handover to operations in the third quarter of 2023.

•     Subsea: Due to a delay in the subsea workstream, the operator has
put in place a plan to finish installation of the infield flowlines and subsea
structures in the first quarter of 2024.

•     Drilling: Successfully drilled and completed all four wells with
expected production capacity significantly higher than what is required for
first gas.

 

(1) A Non-GAAP measure, see attached reconciliation of non-GAAP measure.

(2) Production means net entitlement volumes. In Ghana and Equatorial Guinea,
this means those volumes net to Kosmos' working interest or participating
interest and net of royalty or production sharing contract effect. In the U.S.
Gulf of Mexico, this means those volumes net to Kosmos' working interest and
net of royalty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share,
free cash flow, and net debt are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used
by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial
statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.
The Company defines EBITDAX as Net income (loss) plus (i) exploration expense,
(ii) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) equity based
compensation expense, (iv) unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives
(realized losses are deducted and realized gains are added back), (v) (gain)
loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (vi) interest (income) expense, (vii)
income taxes, (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ix) doubtful accounts
expense and (x) similar other material items which management believes affect
the comparability of operating results. The Company defines Adjusted net
income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that impact the
comparability of results. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash
provided by operating activities less Oil and gas assets, Other property, and
certain other items that may affect the comparability of results and excludes
non-recurring activity such as acquisitions, divestitures and National Oil
Company ("NOC") financing. NOC financing refers to the amounts funded by
Kosmos under the Carry Advance Agreements that the Company has in place with
the national oil companies of each of Mauritania and Senegal related to the
financing of the respective national oil companies' share of certain
development costs at Greater Tortue Ahmeyim. The Company defines net debt as
total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and total restricted cash.

 

We believe that EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income
(loss) per share, free cash flow, Net debt and other similar measures are
useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the
oil and gas sector and will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing
the comparability between periods, among securities analysts, as well as
company by company. EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income
(loss) per share, free cash flow, and net debt as presented by us may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

This release also contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures, including free cash flow. Due to the forward-looking nature of the
aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures, management cannot reliably or
reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly
comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as future impairments and
future changes in working capital. Accordingly, we are unable to present a
quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial
measures. Amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures in future periods
could be significant.

(1)   Adjustment to present Pro Forma EBITDAX for the impact of the revenues
less direct operating expenses from the sold Ghana interest associated with
the Ghana pre-emption and the acquired Kodiak interest, for the respective
period. The results are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, however
as the acquired properties were not accounted for or operated as a separate
segment, division, or entity, complete financial statements under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles are not available or practicable to
produce. The results are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
results of operations of the acquired properties and may not be representative
of future operations as they do not include general and administrative
expenses; interest expense; depreciation, depletion, and amortization;
provision for income taxes; and certain other revenues and expenses not
directly associated with revenues from the sale of crude oil and natural gas.

(2)   Commencing in the first quarter of 2023, the Company combined the
lines for "Restructuring and other" and "Other, net" in its presentation of
EBITDAX into a single line titled "Other expenses, net."
