Business Wire

Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 12:00 AM 14 min read

DALLAS, November 04, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos" or the "Company") (NYSE/LSE: KOS) announced today its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2024. For the quarter, the Company generated a net income of $45 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. When adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results, the Company generated an adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ of $38 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Net Production⁽²⁾: ~65,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), with sales of ~63,200 boepd

Revenues: $408 million, or $70.18 per boe (excluding the impact of derivative cash settlements)

Production expense: $133 million ($16.14 per boe excluding $39.7 million of production expenses associated with the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project)

Capital expenditures: $210 million

Successfully issued $500 million of new Senior Notes due 2031, with proceeds refinancing near-term bond maturities

In the US Gulf of Mexico, achieved first oil at Winterfell, successfully completed the operated Kodiak-3 workover and the startup of the Odd Job subsea pump

Post quarter end, in Equatorial Guinea startup of the first infill well, with gross production now around 30,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd)

Commenting on the Company’s third quarter 2024 performance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "We continue to make good progress across the portfolio towards our production goal of ~90,000 boepd around the end of the year. As production rises and projects are completed, we plan to significantly reduce capital expenditure.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are prioritizing cash generation from the business through disciplined capital allocation, and expect to use cash generated to de-lever the balance sheet. As a result, we are reducing our previously communicated 2025 capex guidance from ~$550 million to ~$400 million. With the actions taken this year to strengthen the balance sheet, we are well positioned entering 2025 to enhance shareholder value and further improve the financial resilience of the company."

FINANCIAL UPDATE

In September, Kosmos successfully issued $500 million of new senior notes due 2031 at 8.75%. Alongside the new issue, Kosmos completed a series of tender offers to repurchase approximately $500 million of its outstanding senior notes across multiple maturities. Following these transactions, the company has paid down the majority of its senior notes due 2026 and also reduced the quantum of the senior notes due 2027 and 2028, thereby reducing all near-term debt maturities.

In September 2024, we added two new lenders to the Reserve Based Lending Facility (RBL) syndicate, increasing total commitments by approximately $145.0 million to the full facility size and borrowing base capacity of $1.35 billion. Post quarter-end, we cancelled the undrawn Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) ahead of schedule.

Kosmos exited the third quarter of 2024 with approximately $2.8 billion of total long-term debt and approximately $2.7 billion of net debt⁽¹⁾ and available liquidity of approximately $715 million.

Net capital expenditure for the third quarter of 2024 was $210 million, slightly above guidance primarily due to higher costs associated with the infill drilling program in Equatorial Guinea. With the completion of the Ghana infill drilling program earlier this year, delivery of multiple Gulf of Mexico projects during the third quarter, and startup of GTA expected this quarter, capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are expected to step down to around $100 million, a steep reduction from previous quarters.

For 2025, the Company is focused on maximizing cash generation through disciplined capital allocation. As a result, the Company expects total capital expenditure for 2025, to be approximately ~$400 million, lower than the previous guidance of ~$550 million, largely from a reduction in growth capital.

The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $6 million and free cash flow⁽¹⁾ of approximately $(213) million in the third quarter. Free cash flow in the quarter was negatively impacted by the timing of working capital, largely related to completion payments associated with projects delivered across the portfolio.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Production

Total net production⁽²⁾ in the third quarter of 2024 averaged approximately 65,400 boepd, representing a ~5% increase compared to the prior quarter. This growth reflects higher production in the US Gulf of Mexico due to the startup of the first two Winterfell wells and production enhancement projects at the operated Kodiak and Odd Job fields. The Company exited the quarter in a net underlift position of approximately 0.1 million barrels.

Ghana

Production in Ghana averaged approximately 40,500 boepd net in the third quarter of 2024. Kosmos lifted three cargos from Ghana during the quarter, in line with guidance.

At Jubilee (38.6% working interest), oil production in the third quarter averaged approximately 87,600 bopd gross with year-to-date production averaging approximately 89,300 bopd gross. Voidage replacement during the third quarter was approximately 90%, below target as a result of lower than planned power generation uptime. Water injection has been restored to record levels of around 300,000 barrels of water per day and should enhance voidage replacement. Jubilee FPSO reliability remains high with uptime approximately 99% for the third quarter.

The three year drilling campaign in Ghana concluded in June following the completion of a final water injector well. The partnership has contracted a new 4D seismic survey over the Jubilee field in early 2025, which is expected to take approximately two months. This seismic data will be processed with state of the art technology to support the high grading of drilling locations for the next phases of drilling. Kosmos is currently working with the operator in Ghana to optimize the 2025 drilling schedule with a rig targeted to arrive in country around the middle of the year.

In the third quarter, Jubilee gas production net to Kosmos was approximately 4,700 boepd. As previously communicated, the onshore gas processing plant that receives Jubilee gas was offline for approximately two weeks for planned maintenance during the quarter. Gas production is now back at approximately 6,000 boepd net to Kosmos.

At TEN (20.4% working interest), oil production averaged approximately 18,500 bopd gross for the third quarter, slightly above expectations. Uptime on the TEN FPSO was approximately 99% for the third quarter.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico

Production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico averaged approximately 16,900 boepd net (~84% oil) during the third quarter, ahead of expectations.

The first two wells at Winterfell (25% working interest) were brought online in early July with the third development well online in early October, successfully confirming the extension of the main Winterfell reservoir to the south and ~20,000 boepd gross production capacity from the first three wells. Shortly after startup of the third well, production at the field was curtailed due to sand production from the third well seen at the production facility. We are currently working with the operator to restart production from the first two wells (~13,000 boepd gross) and to evaluate options to remediate the third well.

Kosmos-operated production enhancement projects for 2024 concluded in July, with the successful completion of the Kodiak-3 well workover and startup of the Odd Job subsea pump project, both outperforming forecasts.

Current production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has increased to approximately 20,000 boepd, in line with expectations, and ~50% higher than the first half of the year.

On Tiberius, Kosmos (50% working interest and operator) and Occidental (50% working interest) have agreed to defer project sanction to the second half of 2025 to prioritize cash generation in 2025. Kosmos continues to progress the farm down of the field with good levels of interest. Estimated gross resource at Tiberius is approximately 100 million boe.

Equatorial Guinea

Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 22,900 bopd gross and 8,000 bopd net in the third quarter. Kosmos lifted one cargo from Equatorial Guinea during the quarter, in line with guidance.

The Noble Venturer rig arrived on location in July and resumed the two well infill campaign to be followed by drilling the Akeng Deep ILX prospect. Early in the fourth quarter, the rig successfully completed the first infill well at Ceiba and achieved first oil in mid-October, approximately two months later than originally planned. Drilling activity has commenced on the second infill well which is expected online later this month. Following completion of the infill campaign, the rig is contracted to drill the Kosmos-operated Akeng Deep ILX prospect in Block S, with results expected around the end of the year.

Mauritania and Senegal

The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim liquefied natural gas (LNG) project continues to make good progress. The following milestones have been achieved:

Drilling: The first batch of four wells has been completed with expected production capacity significantly higher than is required for first gas.

Hub Terminal: The Hub Terminal has been handed over to operations.

Subsea: The subsea workscope for first gas is mechanically complete.

FPSO: Ready for startup shortly with first gas expected thereafter.

FLNG: Cool down and commissioning of the FLNG vessel has commenced with first LNG expected around the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

(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) debt modifications and extinguishments, (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.
