- Capital expenditures of $122.8 million, excluding plugging and abandonment and settled decommissioning obligations.
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $289.4 million.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow* of $148.0 million.
Talos President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Duncan stated, "The second quarter 2024 marked our first full quarter following the closing of the QuarterNorth transaction, resulting in record levels of production, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. This achievement enabled us to remain on track with our debt repayments while opportunistically buying back 3.8 million shares, representing 2% of our market capitalization. Our team's hard work and commitment have put us ahead of schedule on our integration efforts, leveraging the advantages of our increased scale and diversity.
"In our capital drilling program, the Lobster waterflood project commenced water injection in the second quarter 2024, and we anticipate a positive impact on production rates by 2025. We are currently drilling at our non-operated Ewing Bank 953, with results expected later in the third quarter 2024. Additionally, we anticipate receiving the West Vela deepwater rig late in the third quarter 2024, which will begin drilling three consecutive high-impact subsalt wells, including the Katmai West #2 appraisal in 2024, followed by the Daenerys and Helms Deep prospects in 2025.
"Subsequent to the second quarter 2024, we executed an important transaction securing a 21.4% non-operated interest in the Monument deepwater discovery. The Monument discovery presents an attractive post-FID subsea tie-back opportunity with gross resource potential exceeding 150 MMBoe, including a potential drilling opportunity beyond the appraised discovery. We have built a meaningful acreage position within the prolific Wilcox play in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and Monument represents the first of several potential investments in this well-established geological trend. We are pleased to have added this project to our projected 2024 capital program."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Shareholder Return Program: In June 2024, Talos opportunistically repurchased 3.8 million shares of common stock for approximately $43 million, representing an average price of $11.26 per share. In addition, in July 2024, Talos's Board of Directors authorized an additional $150 million for its existing common stock repurchase program.
Monument Discovery: Recently, Talos agreed to acquire a 21.4% W.I. in Monument, a large Wilcox oil discovery located in Walker Ridge blocks 271, 272, 315, and 316, for a purchase price of $32 million as of the effective date. Monument will be developed as a subsea tie-back to the Shenandoah production facility in Walker Ridge. The Monument discovery is post-FID with appraised proved plus probable gross reserves of approximately 115 million barrels of oil equivalent. First production is expected between 20 – 30 MBoe/d gross by late 2026 under restricted flow due to facility rate-constraints. The proved and probable PV-10 of Monument's reserves is valued at approximately $265 million(1). There is an additional 25 – 35 MMBoe drilling location adjacent to the discovery that could extend the resource and Talos's pipeline of drill-ready opportunities. Talos expects a net investment of approximately $25 million in 2024 and approximately $160 million over 2025 and 2026, with no changes to its 2024 capital expenditures guidance. Talos strategically reallocated a portion of its 2024 capital investments for the Monument discovery, given the later-than-anticipated arrival of the West Vela rig. Other partners include Beacon as operator with 30.0% W.I., Navitas Petroleum 28.6% W.I., and Repsol E&P USA Inc. 20.0% W.I.
QuarterNorth Integration Complete: Operational and organizational integration is complete for the QuarterNorth acquisition that closed in March 2024, and we increased expected synergies to $35 million. Talos expects to fully realize projected synergies from the combination by year-end 2024.
Production Updates:
Katmai: Talos expects to take possession of the Seadrill-owned drillship West Vela and commence drilling the Katmai West #2 well in the late third quarter 2024 to further appraise the field, potentially adding significant reserves. Talos projects achieving first production from the Katmai West #2 well in the second quarter 2025. Modifications to the facility, Tarantula, will increase capacity from 27 MBoe/d to 35 MBoe/d. The Katmai wells will be rate-constrained under the upgraded capacity allowing for extended flat-to-low decline production from the facility. Talos will hold 50% W.I. and Ridgewood Energy 50% in Katmai. Talos is the 100% owner and operator of the Tarantula facility.
Sunspear Completion: Talos is in the final stages of securing a rig contract to complete the Sunspear discovery. The Sunspear well, successfully drilled in July 2023, is expected to commence first production during the second quarter 2025, with production flowing to the Prince platform. Partners are Talos 48.0% W.I., an entity managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation 47.5% W.I., and Houston Energy 4.5% W.I.
Lobster Waterflood: In the second quarter 2024, Talos completed the waterflood (down-hole water injection) well in the Lobster Field, which Talos successfully drilled in the first quarter of 2024. The well began injecting water into the BUL-1 sand at 7,000 barrels of water per day in May 2024. Production is expected to increase by over 2 MBoe/d gross in the next 12-18 months. Talos owns 67% W.I., and Chevron owns 33% W.I.
Exploitation and Exploration Updates:
Ewing Bank 953: Talos is currently drilling the Walter-operated amplitude-supported exploitation well in Ewing Bank 953. The Ewing Bank 953 well targets a Pliocene age reservoir at approximately 19,000 feet with an estimated gross resource potential of 15 – 25 million barrels of oil equivalent, with results expected by the end of the third quarter 2024. Talos holds 33.3% W.I., with Walter Oil & Gas holding 56.7% W.I. and Gordy Oil holding 10% W.I.
Daenerys: Talos expects to utilize the West Vela drillship to drill the Daenerys exploration well subsequent to the Katmai West #2 well. The Daenerys well is a high-impact subsalt project that will evaluate the regionally prolific Middle and Lower Miocene section and carries an estimated gross resource potential between 100 – 300 MMBoe. The prospect is part of a broader farm-in transaction executed in 2023 with a combined approximately 23,000 gross acres in the Walker Ridge area. The well is expected to spud in the first quarter 2025 after drilling Katmai West #2. Talos holds a 27% W.I. Partners include Red Willow, Houston Energy, and Cathexis.
Helms Deep: Talos expects to mobilize the West Vela drillship to Helms Deep after completing drilling operations at Daenerys. The West Vela is set to commence drilling at Helms Deep, an amplitude-supported, near-infrastructure subsalt Pliocene exploitation well, in the third quarter 2025. The Helms Deep well has a proposed depth of approximately 18,000 feet and an estimated gross resource potential between 17 - 27 MMBoe. Talos is targeting 50% W.I.
HP-I Update:
HP-I Resumed Production: In mid-June 2024, the HP-I vessel resumed production ahead of schedule following the completion of the planned regulatory required dry-dock maintenance. The dry-dock period was 52 days and resulted in an estimated deferred production of approximately 4.8 MBoe/d in the second quarter 2024.

PRODUCTION ESTIMATES
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, 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, 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 the terms "gross unrisked recoverable resource potential," "gross reserves," and "reserve potential" in this release, which are not measures 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 proved reserves or other reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines.
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, Pro Forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to Pro Forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Leverage, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges. 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 measure 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. A portion of these expenses are allocated based on the percentage of employees dedicated to each operating segment.

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 write-down of oil and natural gas properties, transaction and other (income) expenses, decommissioning obligations, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled 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.

Other income (expense) includes restructuring expenses, cost saving initiatives and other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the amount includes a gain of $86.9 million related to the divestiture of TLCS. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the amount includes a $66.2 million gain on the divestiture of 49.9% equity interest in our subsidiary, Talos Energy Mexico 7, S. de R.L. de C.V. to Zamajal, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Carso. |
(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) | Reporting period includes Carbon Capture & Sequestration ("CCS") business. |
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.

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). 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.
Adjusted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the number of common shares.

Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA
We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Pro Forma 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.
