NEWS RELEASE


 

KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

 

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-August 5, 2019-- Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos") (NYSE: KOS) announced today the financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2019. For the quarter, the Company generated net income of $17 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. When adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results, the Company generated adjusted net income(1) of $22 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019.

 

"Kosmos has continued to make good progress in the second quarter with record quarterly production and strong free cash flow," said Andrew G. Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer. "At current oil prices we are forecasting to exceed the 2019 free cash flow we set out at our capital markets day. Kosmos has an active second half of the year with multiple catalysts across the portfolio including five exploration wells in Mauritania, Equatorial Guinea and the Gulf of Mexico, and the planned sell down of our position in Mauritania and Senegal which remains on track."

 

It must be noted that beginning with the first quarter 2019, the results include the impact of proportionately consolidating the Equatorial Guinea results. Prior quarters exclude this impact and only include the minority interest gain or loss in the bottom line. In addition, the prior year quarter does not include the Gulf of Mexico acquisition, which did not close until the end of the third quarter of 2018.

 

SECOND QUARTER 2019 HIGHLIGHTS

 

•     Net cash provided by operating activities - $240 million; free cash flow1 (non-GAAP) - $136 million

 

•     Sales - 6.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe)

 

•     Revenues - $396 million

 

•     Realized oil and gas revenues, excluding the impact of hedging program - $63.18 per boe.

 

•     Production expense - $91 million, or $14.52 per boe

 

•     General and administrative expenses - $28 million, $19 million cash expense and $9 million non-cash equity based compensation expense

 

•      Depletion and depreciation expense - $151 million, or $24.16 per boe

 

•      Exploration expenses - $30 million

 

•     Capital expenditures - $101 million

 

At quarter end, the Company was in a net underlift position of approximately 1.0 million barrels of oil.

 

Second quarter results included a mark-to-market gain of $14 million related to the Company's oil derivative contracts. As of the quarter end and including recently executed hedges, Kosmos has approximately 14.5 million barrels of oil hedged covering 2019 through 2020 including Brent, WTI, and LLS based hedges.

 

Kosmos exited the second quarter of 2019 with approximately $652 million of liquidity, total debt of $2.18 billion, and $1.99 billion of net debt.

 

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

 

Total net production was a record in the second quarter of 2019 averaging approximately 71,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd)(2).

 

Ghana

 

During the second quarter of 2019, net production from Ghana averaged approximately 31,700 barrels of oil per day (bopd). As forecast, Kosmos lifted three cargoes from Ghana during the second quarter.

 

At Jubilee, Kosmos and its partners are planning to accelerate the gas handling enhancement work program into the fourth quarter of 2019. These enhancements are designed to increase gas handling capacity to above 180 million standard cubic feet per day, thereby allowing oil production rates to increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 and into 2020.

 

At TEN, completion problems were experienced at the EN-14 well due to mechanical issues, resulting in the well not being completed and the potential deferral of two other TEN wells that were previously planned for 2019. These issues have reduced our full-year lifting expectations for the field; Kosmos now expects to lift four cargos from TEN, down from the previous expectation of five.

 

Equatorial Guinea

 

Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 13,000 bopd net in the second quarter of 2019. Kosmos lifted the forecast one cargo from Equatorial Guinea during the quarter. The electric submersible pump (ESP) program is ongoing and Kosmos expects to complete two more ESP conversions in the third quarter.

 

U.S. Gulf of Mexico

 

U.S. Gulf of Mexico production averaged approximately 26,400 boepd net (83% oil) during the second quarter, exceeding the high end of the guidance range. Strong second quarter production was driven primarily by increased production at Odd Job, taking advantage of spare capacity aboard Delta House, and the Tornado field coming back online after its planned drydock in the first quarter.

 

In June, Kosmos announced an oil discovery at Gladden Deep (Kosmos 20% working interest). Gladden Deep is a subsea tie back which is expected to be brought online through the existing Gladden pipeline to the Medusa spar in the fourth quarter of 2019. Based on preliminary analysis of drilling and wireline logging results, the recoverable resource is expected to be in line with the pre-drill estimate of 7 mmboe gross.

 

Kosmos was one of the most active participants in U.S. Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 252 in March, and was subsequently awarded the nine deepwater blocks upon which it was previously deemed to be the high bidder.

 

Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Project

 

The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project located offshore Mauritania and Senegal remains on track with progress being made across all Phase 1 project areas including subsea, FLNG vessel, HUB Terminal, and FPSO vessel. Pre-FEED work is ongoing for Phases 2 and 3 and these next phases are expected to expand capacity of this hub to almost 10 MTPA of LNG for export.

 

In July, Kosmos announced that the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim-1 well (GTA-1), drilled on the eastern anticline within the unit development area of Greater Tortue Ahmeyim, encountered approximately 30 meters of net gas pay in a high-quality Albian reservoir. Results from GTA-1 demonstrate that the gas resource at Greater Tortue Ahmeyim continues to grow and could lead to further offtake expansion of the project. The GTA-1 well was designed as a future producer and will be used to further optimize the development drilling plans for the BP-operated project.

 

The previously announced process to sell down Kosmos' interest in the broader Mauritania/Senegal region to 10 percent is ongoing and is targeting a transaction announcement by year end.

 

2019 Guidance

 

As a result of the completion issue at TEN, Kosmos now expects production for 2019 to be at the low end of the guidance range. All other 2019 guidance remains unchanged.

 

(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 Gulf of Mexico, this means those volumes net to Kosmos's working interest and net of royalty.

 

Conference Call and Webcast Information

 

Kosmos will host a conference call and webcast to discuss second quarter 2019 financial and operating results today at 10:00 a.m. Central time (11:00 a.m. Eastern time).

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, Change in restricted cash, and certain other items that may affect the comparability of results. The Company defines net debt as the sum of notes outstanding issued at par and borrowings on the Facility and Corporate revolver less cash and cash equivalents and 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.
