# Talos Energy Announces Second Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Results | TALO Stock News

, /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Talos also provided third quarter 2026 production guidance and revised full-year 2026 guidance.

**Second Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights**

-   Produced 68.6 thousand barrels of oil per day ("MBo/d") and 93.7 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d"); oil and total equivalent production exceeded guidance ranges driven by strong uptime and well performance.
-   Reported net cash provided by operating activities of $300.6 million.
-   Generated Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1)(2) of $231.6 million.
-   Recorded Net Income(2) of $149.7 million or $0.88 Net Income(2) per diluted share; Adjusted Net Income(1)(2) of $97.8 million or $0.57 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share(1)(2).
-   Generated Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) of $402.4 million.
-   Invested $112.5 million of capital expenditures, excluding plugging and abandonment and settled decommissioning obligations.
-   Strengthened balance sheet with $577.6 million of cash, an undrawn credit facility, a Net Debt to Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) of 0.5x, as of June 30, 2026.
-   Completed the Genovesa workover and returned the well to production late in the second quarter.
-   Finished drilling operations at Monument #3 and encountered approximately 250 feet of net pay, in-line with pre-drill expectations.
-   Commenced the Daenerys appraisal well program; results from the first appraisal well expected by year-end 2026.

**Key Strategic Highlights**

-   Increased midpoint of full-year 2026 production guidance to 66 MBo/d and 89 MBoe/d; excluding the announced Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition and after adjusting for the closed non-core shelf divestment.
-   Achieved greater than 65% of the Optimal Performance Plan 2026 target; on track to fully achieve by year-end 2026.
-   Announced acquisition of Gulf of America deepwater oil assets from Shell; BP elected not to exercise its preferential right, with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
-   Announced strategic development farm-in transaction with Repsol in offshore Mexico Block 29.
-   Signed agreements to acquire an 80% operated interest in an offshore Honduras block spanning more than 4 million gross acres through a seismic commitment, providing access to a large-scale exploration position within a working petroleum system.
-   Closed non-core shelf divestment of non-operated gas assets on July 15th; eliminates approximately $54 million of ARO and decommissioning obligations.
-   Enhanced financial flexibility through issuance of $800 million of 8.000% notes due 2034; proceeds used to fully redeem $625 million of 9.000% notes due 2029 and fund a portion of the previously announced Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition.
-   Upsized credit facility to $850 million from $700 million, effective upon closing of the Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition.
-   Executed a rig contract for the West Vela drillship commencing in mid-2027; primary term of one year with extension options.

"The second quarter marked another meaningful step forward in the execution of our strategy and reinforces our confidence in the long-term value creation opportunities ahead," said Paul Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Talos. "We advanced all three pillars of our strategic framework as we continue to build a long-lived, scaled portfolio by expanding our deepwater scale, enhancing our development inventory through greenfield opportunities, and adding large-scale exploration potential at low entry cost. At the same time, our teams continued delivering on the Optimal Performance Plan, achieving more than 65% of the 2026 target in the first half of the year and demonstrating our relentless focus on operational excellence, cost discipline and value creation.

These strategic achievements were complemented by strong execution across our base business. We exceeded the high end of our production guidance ranges, increased our full-year production outlook and generated record Free Cash Flow. We also commenced the Daenerys appraisal program, which has the potential to further enhance the longevity of our deepwater portfolio.

Taken together, these accomplishments demonstrate our ability to successfully execute on both fronts – advancing our Three Strategic Pillars while continuing to deliver exceptional operational and financial results from our base business. With strong momentum across the organization, we remain focused on building the foundation to be a leading pure-play offshore E&P and look forward to closing the previously announced Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition later in the third quarter."

**RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE**

Operations Update:

_Production Update:_ During the second quarter, oil and total equivalent production exceeded second quarter guidance ranges, primarily driven by production optimization initiatives, strong base asset performance, high facility uptime, and continued outperformance from the new Cardona well. Additionally, the Company successfully completed the Genovesa workover and returned the well to production late in the quarter, with performance in line with expectations. Lease operating expense totaled $18.25 per Boe, including approximately $1.75 per Boe associated with one-time well intervention work performed during the quarter.

_Monument_: The first Monument development well was successfully drilled to its total measured depth of 32,250 feet and encountered approximately 250 feet of net pay, confirming pre-drill expectations. Drilling is set to commence on the second development well followed by completion operations on both wells. First production is expected by year-end 2026 and to be between 20–30 MBoe/d gross. Monument is a large Wilcox oil discovery in Walker Ridge blocks 271, 272, 315, and 316. Monument is being developed as a subsea tie-back to the Shenandoah production facility in Walker Ridge with committed firm capacity of 20 MBbl/d. There is a prospective drilling location that could extend the resource beyond the base development case. 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.

_Non-Core Shelf Divestment:_ On July 15, 2026, the Company closed the sale of non-operated, gas Shelf and Gulf Coast properties through the divestiture of a legal subsidiary to a counterparty. The divestment eliminates approximately $54 million of ARO liabilities and decommissioning obligations. Production for the second quarter 2026 was approximately 700 Bo/d / 3.5 MBoe/d, ~20% oil.

Exploration and Appraisal Update:

_Daenerys:_ The Daenerys appraisal well was spud on July 1, 2026, and operations are progressing according to plan. Results are expected by year-end 2026.

_Offshore Honduras:_ Talos executed definitive agreements to acquire an 80% operated working interest in an offshore Honduras block spanning more than 4 million gross acres, with CaribX retaining the remaining 20% working interest. Talos has closed on a 45% working interest and assumed operatorship. The acquisition of the remaining 35% working interest is subject to approval by Honduras's Secretaría de Energía (SEN), which is expected within approximately 90 days.

The acreage provides exposure to both shallow and deepwater exploration opportunities, including untested deepwater Miocene prospects within a working petroleum system. The transaction is structured as a seismic carry and minimal sunk-cost reimbursement, providing access to large-scale exploration potential at a low entry cost. Talos has the option to participate in an exploration well, subject to the results of the seismic program. An initial 3D seismic campaign is planned for the second half of 2026.

Share Repurchase Program:

During the second quarter of 2026, Talos did not repurchase any shares due to the Company's corporate blackout period associated with the previously announced Gulf of America acquisition. Since announcing its current return of capital framework in the second quarter 2025, Talos has returned approximately $135 million to shareholders through share repurchases resulting in a reduction to outstanding share count by approximately 7%.

The Company's Board of Directors recently authorized an increase in total share repurchase authorization back up to $200 million. The remaining share repurchase authorization as of August 1, 2026, is $200 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.

Credit Facility Update:

In connection with the previously announced Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition, Talos has secured $150 million of incremental commitments from its existing lenders, increasing the Company's borrowing base from the current $700 million to $850 million, subject to and effective upon closing the acquisition.

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.

**PRODUCTION ESTIMATES**

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 used 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.

We may use the terms "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 estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, are inherently by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved or other reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines and do not constitute "reserves" within the meaning of the SEC's rules. These types of resource estimates are subject to greater uncertainties, and accordingly, are subject to a substantially greater risk of actually being realized. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in the reports we file with the SEC.

**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.

**USE OF PROJECTIONS**

This release may contain projections, such as, but not limited to, production volumes: cash expenses, including operating expenses, G&A and interest expense; capital expenditures; P&A and decommissioning expenditures; and collateral obligations. Our independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this release. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if our assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of our future performance or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the projected information.

**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 attributable 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 attributable 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) 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:

_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):

(1)

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 March 31, 2026, it includes a $14.3 million litigation settlement accrued as an expense offset by a $6.8 million gain on the Incremental Mexico Equity Sale. 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.

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

(4)

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.
