2. Accounting Policies

General

The interim consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the final results to be expected for the full year. The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no significant impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or cash flows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	223,327	$	131,620
Restricted cash - current	27		42,971
Restricted cash - long-term	305		305
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	223,659	$	174,896

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. When our net leverage ratio exceeds 2.50x, we are required under the Facility to maintain a restricted cash balance that is sufficient to meet the payment of interest and fees for the next six-month period on the 7.125% Senior Notes, the 7.750% Senior Notes and the 7.500% Senior Notes plus the Corporate Revolver or the

Table of Contents

Facility, whichever is greater. As of March 31, 2022 our net leverage ratio was below 2.50x, therefore in May 2022, we released $59.1 million from restricted cash upon submission of the net leverage test as of March 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 our net leverage ratio remained below 2.50x.

Inventories

Inventories consisted of $143.3 million and $149.5 million of materials and supplies and $11.2 million and $15.7 million of hydrocarbons as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s materials and supplies inventory primarily consists of casing and wellheads and is stated at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or net realizable value.

Hydrocarbon inventory is carried at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or net realizable value. Hydrocarbon inventory costs include expenditures and other charges incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition. Selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory costs.

Revenue Recognition

Our oil and gas revenues are recognized when hydrocarbons have been sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, title has transferred and collection is probable. Certain revenues are based on provisional price contracts which contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from oil sales at the spot price on the date of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated as a hedge, is marked to market through oil and gas revenue each period until the final settlement occurs, which generally is limited to the month after the sale.

Oil and gas revenue is composed of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(In thousands)
Revenues from contract with customer - Equatorial Guinea	$	113,608	$	84,699	$	222,353	$	111,131
Revenues from contract with customer - Ghana	325,078		196,536		742,185		255,886
Revenues from contract with customers - U.S. Gulf of Mexico	183,046		107,890		324,843		202,279
Provisional oil sales contracts	(1,364)		(5,080)		(9,998)		(8,777)
Oil and gas revenue	$	620,368	$	384,045	$	1,279,383	$	560,519

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our revenue can be materially affected by current economic conditions and the price of oil and natural gas. However, based on the current demand for crude oil and natural gas and the fact that alternative purchasers are available, we believe that the loss of our marketing agents and/or any of the purchasers identified by our marketing agents would not have a long‑term material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. The continued economic disruption and volatility in the global and industry-wide markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a potential global recession, and other varying macroeconomic conditions could materially impact the Company’s business in future periods. Any potential disruption will depend on the duration and intensity of these events, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Following the closing of the acquisition of Anadarko WCTP Company (“Anadarko WCTP”) in the fourth quarter of 2021, Kosmos’ interest in the Jubilee Unit Area and the TEN fields offshore Ghana were 42.1% and 28.1%, respectively. Under the DT Block Joint Operating Agreement, certain joint venture partners have pre-emption rights in the Jubilee Unit Area and the TEN fields. In November 2021, we received notice from Tullow Oil plc (“Tullow”) and PetroSA that they intend to exercise their pre-emption rights in relation to Kosmos’ acquisition of Anadarko WCTP. After execution of definitive transaction documentation and receipt of governmental approvals, Kosmos concluded the pre-emption transaction with Tullow in March 2022. Following the completion of the pre-emption by Tullow, Kosmos’ interest in the Jubilee Unit Area decreased from 42.1% to 38.6% and Kosmos’ interest in the TEN fields decreased from 28.1% to 20.4%. Tullow paid Kosmos $118.2 million in cash

consideration after post closing adjustments for the pre-emption. During the first quarter of 2022, our oil and gas properties, net balance was reduced by $175.5 million, which includes the cash proceeds and net liabilities transferred to the purchaser as a result of concluding the Tullow pre-emption transaction. The difference in the net book value of the proved property, net liabilities transferred and adjusted purchase price qualified for treatment as a recovery of cost and normal retirement under ASC 932, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized.

For PetroSA, the pre-emption process is ongoing and remains subject to execution of definitive agreements and required government approvals. Following completion of the pre-emption for PetroSA, Kosmos' ultimate interests in the Jubilee Unit Area and TEN fields would be reduced to 38.3% and 19.8%, respectively.

In March 2022, Kosmos completed the acquisition of an additional 5.5% interest in the Winterfell area in Green Canyon Blocks 943, 944, 987 and 988, offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and an additional 1.5% interest in Green Canyon blocks 899 and 900 for $9.6 million.

In June 2022, Kosmos completed the acquisition of an additional 5.9% interest in the Kodiak oil field from Marubeni by exercising our preferential right to purchase, which increased our working interest from 29.1% to 35.0%. As consideration for the acquisition, Kosmos paid approximately $21.2 million in cash with additional deferred payments of $7.8 million for a total purchase price of approximately $29.0 million The purchase price was based on an initial purchase price of $38.3 million reduced by certain purchase adjustments totaling approximately $9.3 million. The purchase price allocation was based on the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed primarily comprised of $27.1 million of oil and gas properties, net.

In May 2022, Kosmos and its joint venture partners agreed with the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons of Equatorial Guinea to extend the Block G petroleum contract term harmonizing the expiration of the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex production licenses (from 2029 and 2034 respectively) to 2040. As part of the extension, during the second quarter of 2022, Kosmos paid a signature bonus and agreed to undertake a work program including the drilling of three development wells on Block G in either the Ceiba Field or Okume Complex and the drilling of one exploration well in Block S offshore Equatorial Guinea.

In June 2022, at the conclusion of the second exploration period, Block C12 offshore Mauritania was relinquished.

4. Joint Interest Billings and Long-term Receivables

Joint Interest Billings

The Company’s joint interest billings consist of receivables from partners with interests in common oil and gas properties operated by the Company for shared costs. Joint interest billings are classified on the face of the consolidated balance sheets as current and long-term receivables based on when collection is expected to occur.

In Ghana, the foreign contractor group funded GNPC’s 5% share of the TEN development costs. The foreign contractor group is being reimbursed for such costs plus interest out of a portion of GNPC’s TEN production revenues. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the current portions of the joint interest billing receivables due from GNPC for the TEN fields development costs were $7.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and the long-term portions were $19.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

Notes Receivables

In February 2019, Kosmos and BP signed Carry Advance Agreements with the national oil companies of Mauritania and Senegal obligating us to finance a portion of the respective national oil company’s share of certain development costs incurred through first gas production for Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Phase 1, currently targeted in the third quarter of 2023. Kosmos’ share for the two agreements combined is currently estimated at approximately $240.0 million, which is to be repaid with interest through the national oil companies’ share of future revenues. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance due from the national oil companies was $160.9 million and $145.2 million, respectively, which is classified as Long-term receivables on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest income on the long-term notes receivable was $2.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.3 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

Other Long-term Receivables

In August 2021, BP, as the operator of the Greater Tortue project (“BP Operator”), with the consent of the Greater Tortue Unit participants and the respective States, agreed to sell the Greater Tortue FPSO (which is currently under construction by Technip Energies in China) to an affiliate of BP (“BP Buyer”). The Greater Tortue FPSO will be leased back to BP Operator under a long-term lease agreement, for exclusive use in the Greater Tortue project. BP Operator will continue to manage and supervise the construction contract with Technip Energies. Delivery of the Greater Tortue FPSO to BP Buyer will occur after construction is complete and the Greater Tortue FPSO has been commissioned, with the lease to BP Operator becoming effective on the same date, currently targeted to be in the third quarter of 2023.

As a result of the above transactions entered into by BP Operator, Kosmos recognized a Long-term receivable of $200.2 million from BP Operator for our share of the consideration paid from BP Buyer to and held by BP Operator as well as a $200.2 million FPSO Contract Liability in Other long-term liabilities related to the deferred sale of the Tortue FPSO. As of June 30, 2022, this Long-term receivable has been non-cash settled against obligations payable to BP Operator, which included $132.4 million and $67.8 million of non-cash capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively. These non-cash impacts are excluded from the statement of cash flows.

As of June 30, 2022, the projects with exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year since the completion of drilling are related to the Yakaar and Teranga discoveries in the Cayar Offshore Profond block offshore Senegal, the Asam discovery in Block S offshore Equatorial Guinea, and the Winterfell discovery in Green Canyon Block 944 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

BirAllah and Orca Discoveries — In November 2015, we completed the Marsouin-1 exploration well in the northern part of Block C8 offshore Mauritania, which encountered hydrocarbon pay. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we completed the nearby Orca-1 exploration well which encountered hydrocarbon pay. The BirAllah and Orca discoveries are being analyzed as a joint development. During the second quarter of 2022, the partnership continued progressing appraisal studies, maturing concept design. In June 2022, the exploration period of Block C8 offshore Mauritania expired. As a result, during the second quarter of 2022 we wrote off all of the capitalized costs, or $64.2 million, related to the BirAllah and Orca discoveries incurred under the C8 license to exploration expense. The partnership and the government of Mauritania are currently in the process of finalizing a new Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) covering these discoveries.

Yakaar and Teranga Discoveries — In May 2016, we completed the Teranga-1 exploration well in the Cayar Offshore Profond block offshore Senegal, which encountered hydrocarbon pay. In June 2017, we completed the Yakaar-1 exploration well in the Cayar Offshore Profond block offshore Senegal, which encountered hydrocarbon pay. In November 2017, an integrated Yakaar-Teranga appraisal plan was submitted to the government of Senegal. In September 2019, we completed the Yakaar-2 appraisal well which encountered hydrocarbon pay. The Yakaar-2 well was drilled approximately nine kilometers from the Yakaar-1 exploration well. In July 2021, the current phase of the Cayar Block exploration license was extended up to an additional three years to 2024. The Yakaar and Teranga discoveries are being analyzed as a joint development. During the second quarter of 2022, we continued progressing appraisal studies and maturing concept design. Following additional evaluation, a decision regarding commerciality is expected to be made.

Asam Discovery — In October 2019, we completed the S-5 exploration well offshore Equatorial Guinea, which encountered hydrocarbon pay. In July 2020, an appraisal plan was approved by the government of Equatorial Guinea. The well is located within tieback range of the Ceiba FPSO and work is currently ongoing to integrate all available data into models to

establish the scale of the discovered resource. The active phase of the Block S exploration license is currently set to expire in December 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, engineering continued to progress concepts around required subsea infrastructure necessary for a subsea tieback. Once the appraisal plan involving this work is complete, a decision regarding commerciality will be made.

Winterfell Discovery — In January 2021, we drilled the Winterfell-1 exploration well located in Green Canyon Block 944 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which encountered hydrocarbon pay. In January 2022, we drilled the Winterfell-2 appraisal well which encountered hydrocarbon pay. The field development plan has been submitted to partners for approval.

Facility

The Facility supports our oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs and corporate activities. As of June 30, 2022, borrowings under the Facility totaled $700.0 million and the undrawn availability under the facility was $550.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made principal repayments totaling $300.0 million on the Facility including $100.0 million with the proceeds from the Tullow pre-emption transaction. See Note 3 — Acquisitions and Divestitures. Final maturity of the Facility is in March 2027. As part of the last amendment to the Facility in May 2021, the Company incurred $15.2 million for loss on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2021. In April 2022, during the Spring 2022 redetermination, the Company’s lending syndicate approved a borrowing base capacity in excess of the facility size of $1.25 billion. The borrowing base amount is based on the sum of the net present values of net cash flows and relevant capital expenditures reduced by certain percentages as well as value attributable to certain assets’ reserves and/or resources in the Company’s production assets in Ghana (excluding the additional interests in Jubilee and TEN acquired in the acquisition of Anadarko WCTP in October 2021) and Equatorial Guinea.

When our net leverage ratio exceeds 2.50x, we are required under the Facility to maintain a restricted cash balance that is sufficient to meet the payment of interest and fees for the next six-month period on the 7.125% Senior Notes, the 7.750% Senior Notes and the 7.500% Senior Notes plus the Corporate Revolver or the Facility, whichever is greater. As of March 31, 2022 our net leverage ratio was below 2.50x, and therefore, we released $59.1 million from restricted cash in May 2022 upon submission of the net leverage test as of March 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 our net leverage ratio remained below 2.50x.

We were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Facility as of March 31, 2022 (the most recent assessment date). The Facility, as amended, contains customary cross default provisions.

Table of Contents

Corporate Revolver

On March 31, 2022, we refinanced the Corporate Revolver by replacing it with a new revolving credit facility agreement resulting in the following changes to the terms:

•The total size of the Corporate Revolver is reduced from $400 million to $250 million.

•The maturity date is extended from May 2022 to December 31, 2024.

•Borrowings under the Corporate Revolver now bear interest at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus a credit adjustment spread plus a 7.0% margin plus mandatory costs, if applicable.

•Addition of a negative pledge covenant over the participating interests held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy Ghana Investments, in the WCTP and DT blocks offshore Ghana.

•As the Corporate Revolver is intended to continue to largely remain undrawn, the Company is required to use the proceeds from any capital markets and loan transactions to first repay any drawn outstanding balance under the Corporate Revolver and the Company is subject to a cash sweep of at least 50% of the Company’s Excess Cash (as defined in the Corporate Revolver) to pay outstanding balances as of March 31 or September 30 in any calendar year.

The Company capitalized $6.1 million of deferred financing costs associated with entering into the new revolving credit facility, which will be amortized over the term of the new revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Corporate Revolver and the undrawn availability was $250.0 million The Corporate Revolver is available for general corporate purposes and for oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

We use financial derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

We manage market and counterparty credit risk in accordance with our policies and guidelines. In accordance with these policies and guidelines, our management determines the appropriate timing and extent of derivative transactions. We have included an estimate of non-performance risk in the fair value measurement of our derivative contracts as required by ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurement.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

Our derivative instruments which are subject to master netting arrangements with our counterparties only have the right of offset when there is an event of default. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was not an event of default and, therefore, the associated gross asset or gross liability amounts related to these arrangements are presented on the consolidated balance sheets.

9. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurement, fair value measurements are based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. We prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 — quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

•Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value input hierarchy level to which an asset or liability measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, for each fair value hierarchy level:


	Fair Value Measurements Using:
	Quoted Prices in
	Active Markets for		Significant Other		Significant

Total	$	—	$	(66,315)	$	—	$	(66,315)

The book values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value based on Level 1 inputs. Joint interest billings, oil sales and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Our long-term receivables, after any allowances for credit losses, and other long-term assets approximate fair value. The estimates of fair value of these items are based on Level 2 inputs.

Commodity Derivatives

Our commodity derivatives represent crude oil collars, put options and call options for notional barrels of oil at fixed Dated Brent or NYMEX WTI oil prices. The values attributable to our oil derivatives are based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active futures price quotes for the respective index, (iii) a credit-adjusted yield curve applicable to each counterparty by reference to the credit default swap (“CDS”) market and (iv) an independently sourced estimate of volatility for the respective index. The volatility estimate was provided by certain independent brokers who are active in buying and selling oil options and was corroborated by market-quoted volatility factors. The deferred premium is included in the fair market value of the commodity derivatives. See Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

Provisional Oil Sales

The value attributable to provisional oil sales derivatives is based on (i) the sales volumes and (ii) the difference in the independent active futures price quotes for the respective index over the term of the pricing period designated in the sales contract and the spot price on the lifting date.

Debt

The following table presents the carrying values and fair values at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
7.125% Senior Notes	$	645,125	$	554,164	$	644,572	$	632,587
7.750% Senior Notes	395,504		335,176		395,131		386,428
7.500% Senior Notes	445,222		372,938		444,892		424,688

Facility	700,000		700,000		1,000,000		1,000,000
Total	$	2,345,851	$	2,122,278	$	2,659,595	$	2,618,703

The carrying values of our 7.125% Senior Notes, 7.750% Senior Notes and 7.500% Senior Notes represent the principal amounts outstanding less unamortized discounts. The fair values of our 7.125% Senior Notes, 7.750% Senior Notes and 7.500% Senior Notes are based on quoted market prices, which results in a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying values of the GoM Term Loan and Facility approximate fair value since they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements - Long-lived assets

Certain long-lived assets are reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. These long-lived assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of its long-lived assets using the income approach described in the ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements. Significant inputs associated with the calculation of estimated discounted future net cash flows include anticipated future production, pricing estimates, capital and operating costs, market-based weighted average cost of capital, and risk adjustment factors applied to reserves. These are classified as Level 3 fair value assumptions. The Company utilizes an average of third-party industry forecasts of Dated Brent, adjusted for location and quality differentials, to determine our pricing assumptions. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the assumptions, we analyze sensitivities to prices, production, and risk adjustment factors.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize impairment of proved oil and gas properties as no impairment indicators were identified. If we experience declines in oil pricing expectations in the future, increases in our estimated future expenditures or a decrease in our estimated production profile, our long-lived assets could be at risk of additional impairment.

10. Equity-based Compensation

Restricted Stock Units

We record equity-based compensation expense equal to the fair value of share-based payments over the vesting periods of the LTIP awards. We recorded compensation expense from awards granted under our LTIP of $8.7 million and $7.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $17.1 million and $15.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a net tax shortfall (windfall) related to equity-based compensation of $(0.5) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.7 million and $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of awards vested during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $4.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and $21.3 million and $8.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company granted restricted stock units with service vesting criteria and a combination of market and service vesting criteria under the LTIP. Substantially all of these grants vest over three years. Upon vesting, restricted stock units become issued and outstanding stock

Table of Contents

The following table reflects the outstanding restricted stock units as of June 30, 2022:


		Weighted-		Market / Service	Weighted-
	Service Vesting	Average		Vesting	Average
	Restricted Stock	Grant-Date		Restricted Stock	Grant-Date
	Units	Fair Value		Units	Fair Value
	(In thousands)			(In thousands)

Outstanding at June 30, 2022	4,969	4.18		12,081	5.60

__________________________________

(1)The restricted stock units with a combination of market and service vesting criteria may vest between 0% and 200% of the originally granted units depending upon market performance conditions. Awards vesting over or under target shares of 100% results in additional shares granted or forfeited, respectively, in the period the market vesting criteria is determined.

As of June 30, 2022, total equity-based compensation to be recognized on unvested restricted stock units is $37.2 million over a weighted average period of 1.90 years. At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 6.0 million shares that remain available for issuance under the LTIP.

For restricted stock units with a combination of market and service vesting criteria, the number of common shares to be issued is determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return with the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies over the performance period and can vest in up to 200% of the awards granted. The grant date fair value ranged from $1.06 to $12.33 per award. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilized multiple input variables that determined the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculated the fair value of the award. The expected volatility utilized in the model was estimated using our historical volatility and the historical volatilities of our peer companies and ranged from 50.0% to 104.8%. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. treasury rate for a term commensurate with the expected life of the grant and ranged from 0.2% to 2.5%.

11. Income Taxes

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate each quarter, based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws, and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax expense or benefit. The Company excludes zero tax rate and tax-exempt jurisdictions from our evaluation of the estimated annual effective income tax rate. The tax effect of discrete items are recognized in the period in which they occur at the applicable statutory tax rate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our deferred tax liability decreased by approximately $128.1 million. Approximately $44.6 million of the decrease is the result of concluding the Tullow pre-emption transaction in March 2022. See Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures. The remaining $83.5 million decrease in our deferred tax liability is the result of originating deferred tax assets, primarily related to mark to market losses on commodity derivative contracts and the recognition of other net deferred tax liabilities, primarily related to book depreciation and depletion expense in excess of amount reported for income tax purposes.

Income (loss) before income taxes is composed of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(In thousands)

Income (loss) before income taxes	$	194,151	$	(63,720)	$	207,004	$	(171,193)

Table of Contents

For the three months ended, June 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was 40% and 10%, respectively. For the six months ended, June 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was 43% and 14%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our overall effective tax rates were impacted by:

•The difference in our 21% U.S. income tax reporting rate and the 35% statutory tax rates applicable to our Ghanaian and Equatorial Guinean operations,

•Jurisdictions that have a 0% statutory rate or where we have incurred losses and have recorded valuation allowances against the corresponding deferred tax assets, and

•Other non-deductible expenses primarily in the U.S.

12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

__________________________________

(1)We excluded restricted stock units of 0.1 million and 15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.1 million and 14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from the computations of diluted net income (loss) per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in litigation, regulatory examinations and administrative proceedings primarily arising in the ordinary course of our business in jurisdictions in which we do business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes none of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position; however, an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our results from operations for a specific interim period or year.

We have a commitment to drill three development wells and one exploration well in Equatorial Guinea. In Mauritania, we have a $200.2 million FPSO Contract Liability related to the deferred sale of the Greater Tortue FPSO.

Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had performance bonds totaling $195.5 million and $195.5 million, respectively, for our supplemental bonding requirements stipulated by the BOEM and $9.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, to third parties related to costs anticipated for the plugging and abandonment of certain wells and the removal of certain facilities in our U.S. Gulf of Mexico fields.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained herein and our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our annual report on Form 10-K along with the section Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and Results of Operations contained in such annual report. Any terms used but not defined in the following discussion have the same meaning given to them in the annual report. Our discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of this report and in the annual report, along with “Forward-Looking Information” at the end of this section for information about the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than our forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a full-cycle deepwater independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused along the Atlantic Margins. Our key assets include production offshore Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as a world-class gas development offshore Mauritania and Senegal. We also maintain a sustainable proven basin exploration program in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that emerged at the beginning of 2020 resulted in travel restrictions, including border closures, travel bans, social distancing restrictions and office closures being ordered in the various countries in which we operate, impacting some of our business operations. These restrictions, together with logistical challenges, have had an impact on the supply chain, resulting in the delay of various operational projects.

Globally, the impacts of COVID-19, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, potential recession, and other varying macroeconomic conditions has impacted supply and demand for oil and gas, which also resulted in significant variability in oil and gas prices. The Company’s revenues, earnings, cash flows, capital investments, debt capacity and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on these commodity prices.

Recent Developments

Corporate

Under the terms of our 2020 farm-out agreement with Shell, potential contingent consideration is payable by Shell depending on the results of the first four exploration wells Shell drills in the purchased assets, excluding South Africa. Upon approval of the relevant operating committee of an appraisal plan for submission to the relevant governmental authority for any of those first four exploration wells, Shell will be required to pay Kosmos $50.0 million of consideration for each discovery for which an appraisal plan is approved by the relevant operating committee, capped in the aggregate at a maximum of $100.0 million total. There were two oil discoveries announced in Namibia during the first half of 2022. Under the terms of Shell’s Petroleum Agreement with Namibia, if Shell decides to appraise one or both of the discoveries, an appraisal plan is required to be submitted within 150 days from completion of tests on a discovery well.

Ghana

During the second quarter of 2022, Ghana production averaged approximately 97,200 Bopd gross (31,600 Bopd net). Jubilee production averaged approximately 73,600 Bopd gross (27,000 Bopd net), including the impact of the two week planned shutdown of the Jubilee FPSO. Excluding the shutdown, Jubilee production averaged approximately 92,000 Bopd gross. TEN production averaged approximately 23,600 Bopd gross (4,600 Bopd net).

In the second quarter of 2022, the multi-year development drilling program continued to progress with the completion of one producer well and one water injector well in the Jubilee Field. Both wells were successfully brought online in the second quarter of 2022. Following Jubilee completion operations, the drilling rig then moved to the TEN fields and continued operations with the successful completion of one water injector well. In July 2022, the partnership drilled the first of the two riser base wells at TEN to initially define the extent of the Ntomme reservoir supporting the TEN Enhancement Project. The well was drilled to test two separate reservoir objectives and encountered better reservoir quality and thickness than expected but was water bearing. A second well is currently being planned to target a different fairway in a structurally higher setting. The results of the two wells will allow the partnership to high-grade and optimize the future drilling plans for the TEN Enhancement Project. In July 2022, the Jubilee partners completed the transition of the operations & maintenance (O&M) services for the Jubilee FPSO from external provider MODEC, Inc. to Tullow.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico

Production from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico averaged approximately 20,600 Boepd net (~82% oil) for the second quarter of 2022.

In March 2022, the Company commenced operations to plug back and side-track the original Kodiak #3 infill well located in Mississippi Canyon. The side-tracked well is expected to be online in the third quarter of 2022, with insurance proceeds expected to cover substantially all of the costs incurred to return the Kodiak #3 well to production. In June 2022, Kosmos completed the acquisition of an additional 5.9% interest in the Kodiak oil field from Marubeni by exercising our preferential right to purchase, which increased our working interest from 29.1% to 35.0%. As consideration for the acquisition, Kosmos paid approximately $21.2 million in cash with additional deferred payments of $7.8 million for a total purchase price of approximately $29.0 million.

In January 2021, we announced the Winterfell exploration well encountered approximately 26 meters (85 feet) of net oil pay in two intervals. Winterfell was designed to test a sub-salt Upper Miocene prospect located in Green Canyon Block 944. In January 2022, the Winterfell-2 appraisal well in Green Canyon Block 943 was drilled to evaluate the adjacent fault block to the northwest of the original Winterfell discovery and was designed to test two horizons that were oil bearing in the Winterfell-1 well, with an exploration tail into a deeper horizon. The well discovered approximately 40 meters (120 feet) of net oil pay in the first and second horizons with better oil saturation and porosity than pre-drill expectations. The exploration tail discovered an additional oil-bearing horizon in a deeper reservoir which is also prospective in the blocks immediately to the north. The field development plan has been submitted to the partners for approval, with a final investment decision approval expected by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

In March 2022, Kosmos completed the acquisition of an additional 5.5% interest in the Winterfell area in Green Canyon Blocks 943, 944, 987 and 988 and an additional 1.5% interest in Green Canyon blocks 899 and 900 for $9.6 million. We are currently in discussions with partners to approve the development plan expected in the third quarter of 2022.

In August 2022, the operator of the Helix Producer I (the “HP-I”) production platform disconnected the HP-I for a scheduled dry-dock inspection required by the U.S. Coast Guard. Production from the Tornado field is processed through the HP-I and will remain shut-in while the vessel is undergoing its scheduled dry-dock which is estimated to be approximately 45 days.

In June 2022, we executed, as operator of the Odd Job field, a contract for $131.6 million (gross) with Subsea 7 (US) LLC and OneSubsea LLC to fabricate and install a subsea pump in the Odd Job field. The project commenced in July 2022 with an expected online date around the middle of 2024. Kosmos’ working interest in the Odd Job field is approximately 54.9%.

Equatorial Guinea

Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 31,300 Bopd gross (10,000 Bopd net) in the second quarter of 2022.

Table of Contents

In May 2022, Kosmos and its joint venture partners agreed with the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons of Equatorial Guinea to extend the Block G petroleum contract term harmonizing the expiration of the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex production licenses (from 2029 and 2034 respectively) to 2040. The license extension supports the next phase of investment in the license. As part of the extension, during the second quarter of 2022, Kosmos paid a signature bonus, included in our 2022 capital plan, and agreed to undertake a future work program including the drilling of three development wells on Block G in either the Ceiba Field or Okume Complex and the drilling of one exploration well in Block S offshore Equatorial Guinea.

Mauritania and Senegal

In June 2022, the exploration period of Block C8 offshore Mauritania expired. The partnership and the government of Mauritania are currently in the process of finalizing a new Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) covering these discoveries. The new PSC is expected to provide two years to submit a development plan covering the BirAllah and/or Orca discoveries with the terms of the new PSC substantially similar to the former PSC for Block C8 with additional provisions for potentially enhanced back-in rights for the Government of Mauritania, local content, SMH’s capacity building and an environmental fund. As a result, during the second quarter of 2022 we wrote off all of the capitalized costs, or $64.2 million, related to the BirAllah and Orca discoveries incurred under the C8 license to exploration expense, however, these costs will still be tax deductible and cost recoverable against our Greater Tortue development.

In June 2022, at the conclusion of the second exploration period, Block C12 offshore Mauritania was relinquished.

Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Unit

Phase 1 of the Greater Tortue project continues to make good progress in 2022 with first gas for the project targeted in the third quarter of 2023. The following milestones were achieved as of the end of the second quarter of 2022 and post quarter-end:

•FLNG: construction and mechanical completion activities continue and commissioning work has begun

•FPSO: mechanical completion activities continue and hull commissioning work has commenced. The operator has been unable to make up the delay from the lockdown of the FPSO yard in April 2022 and the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in China. As a result, the FPSO sailaway date is now expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the same high-level of completion prior to sailaway.

•Hub Terminal: All 21 caissons installed. The piling installation is nearing completion and the living quarters platform is currently in transit to site

•Subsea: subsea equipment has begun to arrive in region and installation of the export pipeline has commenced

•Drilling: successfully drilled two of the four wells required for first gas and the third well is in progress

Sao Tome and Principe

In the second quarter of 2022, we received approval for a six month extension to May 2023 for the current exploration phase for Block 5 offshore Sao Tome and Principe.

Oil and gas revenue. Oil and gas revenue increased by $236.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of higher average oil prices and our acquisition of additional interests in Ghana during the fourth quarter of 2021, which more than offset the timing of liftings in Equatorial Guinea. We sold 5,677 MBoe at an average realized price per barrel equivalent of $109.28 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 6,020 MBoe at an average realized price per barrel equivalent of $63.80 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production costs decreased by $25.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of lower production costs per barrel driven by field production mix in our international business units and lower sales volumes due to timing of liftings in Equatorial Guinea.

Exploration expenses. Exploration expenses increased by $80.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as result of the $64.2 million of previously capitalized costs related to the BirAllah and Orca discoveries incurred under the Block C8 license offshore Mauritania that were written off to exploration expense with the expiration of the exploration period of Block C8, and approximately $14.0 million related to the exit of leases in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Mauritania.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization. Depletion, depreciation and amortization decreased $29.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of field production mix in our international business units and lower overall sales volumes during the quarter.

Interest and other financing costs, net. Interest and other financing costs, net decreased $9.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of $15.2 million for loss on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2021 related to the Facility amendment an $8.0 million increase in

capitalized interest during 2022, offset by $7.5 million of higher interest expense related to our senior notes issuances in 2021 and $6.0 million of guarantee fees on the Tortue FPSO transaction.

Derivatives, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a loss of $75.2 million and a loss of $111.9 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedge positions. The amounts recorded were a result of changes in the forward oil price curve during the respective periods.

Income tax expense (benefit). For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our overall effective tax rates were impacted by the difference in our 21% U.S. income tax reporting rate and the 35% statutory tax rates applicable to our Ghanaian and Equatorial Guinean operations, jurisdictions that have a 0% statutory tax rate or where we have incurred losses and have recorded valuation allowances against the corresponding deferred tax assets, and other non-deductible expenses, primarily in the U.S.

Table of Contents

General and administrative. General and administrative costs increased by $6.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of increased travel costs and professional fees and increased non-cash equity based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization. Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased $52.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result of higher overall sales volumes in the current year.

Interest and other financing costs, net. Interest and other financing costs, net decreased $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of $15.2 million for loss on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2021 related to the Facility amendment, increased capitalized interest related to the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project, offset by increased interest expense on the 7.750% Senior Notes and the 7.500% Senior Notes issued during 2021 and guarantee fees on the Tortue FPSO transaction.

Derivatives, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a loss of $357.4 million and a loss of $214.4 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedge positions. The changes recorded were a result of changes in the forward curve of oil prices during the respective periods.

Income tax expense (benefit). For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our overall effective tax rates were impacted by the difference in our 21% U.S. income tax reporting rate and the 35% statutory tax rates applicable to our Ghanaian and Equatorial Guinean operations, jurisdictions that have a 0% statutory tax rate or where we have incurred losses and have recorded valuation allowances against the corresponding deferred tax assets, and other non-deductible expenses, primarily in the U.S.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are actively engaged in an ongoing process of anticipating and meeting our funding requirements related to our strategy as a full-cycle exploration and production company. We have historically met our funding requirements through cash flows generated from our operating activities and obtained additional funding from issuances of equity and debt, as well as partner carries.

Current oil prices are volatile and could negatively impact our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flows to meet our funding requirements. This volatility could result in wide fluctuations in future oil prices, which could impact our ability to comply with our financial covenants. To partially mitigate this price volatility, we maintain an active hedging program and review our capital spending program on a regular basis. Our investment decisions are based on longer-term commodity prices based on the nature of our projects and development plans. Current commodity prices, combined with our hedging program and our current liquidity position support our remaining capital program for 2022.

Capital Expenditures and Investments

We expect to incur capital costs as we:

• drill additional infill wells and execute exploitation and production activities in Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico;

• execute infrastructure-led exploration and appraisal efforts in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Equatorial Guinea; and

• execute appraisal and development activities in Mauritania and Senegal.

We have relied on a number of assumptions in budgeting for our future activities. These include the number of wells we plan to drill, our participating, paying and carried interests in our prospects including disproportionate payment amounts, the costs involved in developing or participating in the development of a prospect, the timing of third‑party projects, the availability of suitable equipment and qualified personnel and our cash flows from operations. We also evaluate potential corporate and asset acquisition opportunities to support and expand our asset portfolio which may impact our budget assumptions. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, health, environmental and competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. We may need to raise additional funds more quickly if market conditions deteriorate, or one or more of our assumptions proves to be incorrect, or if we choose to expand our acquisition, exploration, appraisal, development efforts or any other activity more rapidly than we presently anticipate. We may decide to raise additional funds before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell assets, equity or debt securities or obtain additional bank credit facilities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could result in increased fixed obligations and additional covenants that could restrict our operations.

2022 Capital Program

We estimate we will spend around $700 million of capital for the year ending December 31, 2022, excluding any acquisitions or divestiture of oil and gas properties during the year. This capital expenditure budget consists of:

•Approximately $225-$275 million related to maintenance activities across our Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets, including infill development drilling and integrity spend

•Approximately $100-$140 million related to growth activities across our Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets, primarily pre-investment for infrastructure required to support production growth in 2023 and beyond

•Approximately $300 million related to development of Phase 1 of Greater Tortue Ahmeyim, net of the Tortue FPSO transaction benefit

•Approximately $30 million related to progressing the appraisal plans of our greater gas resource in Mauritania and Senegal, including Phase 2 of Greater Tortue Ahmeyim, BirAllah and Yakaar-Teranga.

Through June 30, 2022, we have spent approximately $320.3 million on capital expenditures, excluding the offsetting impact of the Tullow and Kodiak pre-empt transactions. This represents a slight increase over our prior estimates due to inflationary impacts we are expecting, largely on the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim development.

Table of Contents

The ultimate amount of capital we will spend may fluctuate materially based on market conditions and the success of our exploitation and drilling results among other factors. Our future financial condition and liquidity will be impacted by, among other factors, our level of production of oil and the prices we receive from the sale of oil, our ability to effectively hedge future production volumes, the success of our multi-faceted infrastructure-led exploration and appraisal drilling programs, the number of commercially viable oil and natural gas discoveries made and the quantities of oil and natural gas discovered, the speed with which we can bring such discoveries to production, our partners’ alignment with respect to capital plans, and the actual cost of exploitation, exploration, appraisal and development of our oil and natural gas assets, and coverage of any claims under our insurance policies.

Significant Sources of Capital

Facility

The Facility supports our oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs and corporate activities with a borrowing base calculation that includes value related to the Jubilee, TEN, Ceiba and Okume fields, however, the additional interests in Jubilee and TEN acquired in the October 2021 acquisition of Anadarko WCTP are not included in the borrowing base calculation. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made principal repayments totaling $300.0 million on the Facility including $100.0 million with the proceeds from the Tullow pre-emption transaction. See Note 3 — Acquisitions and Divestitures. In April 2022, during the Spring 2022 redetermination, the Company’s lending syndicate approved a borrowing base capacity in excess of the facility size of $1.25 billion. As of June 30, 2022, borrowings under the Facility totaled $700.0 million and the undrawn availability under the facility was $550.0 million.

The Facility provides a revolving credit and letter of credit facility. The availability period for the revolving credit facility expires one month prior to the final maturity date. The letter of credit facility expires on the final maturity date. The available facility amount is subject to borrowing base constraints and, beginning on March 31, 2024, outstanding borrowings will be constrained by an amortization schedule. The Facility has a final maturity date of March 31, 2027. As of June 30, 2022, we had no letters of credit issued under the Facility.

We have the right to cancel all the undrawn commitments under the amended and restated Facility. The amount of funds available to be borrowed under the Facility, also known as the borrowing base amount, is determined every March and September. The borrowing base amount is based on the sum of the net present values of net cash flows and relevant capital expenditures reduced by certain percentages as well as value attributable to certain assets’ reserves and/or resources in Ghana and Equatorial Guinea, however, excludes the additional interests in Jubilee and TEN acquired in the acquisition of Anadarko WCTP.

If an event of default exists under the Facility, the lenders can accelerate the maturity and exercise other rights and remedies, including the enforcement of security granted pursuant to the Facility over certain asset. We were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Facility as of March 31, 2022 (the most recent assessment date). The Facility contains customary cross default provisions.

Corporate Revolver

On March 31, 2022, we refinanced the Corporate Revolver by replacing it with a new revolving credit facility agreement resulting in the following changes to the terms:

•The total size of the Corporate Revolver is reduced from $400 million to $250 million.

•The maturity date is extended from May 2022 to December 31, 2024.

•Addition of a negative pledge covenant over the participating interests held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy Ghana Investments, in the WCTP and DT blocks offshore Ghana.

Table of Contents

The Corporate Revolver is available for general corporate purposes and for oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs. The Company expects the reduced Corporate Revolver size to offset an increase in the margin, resulting in slightly lower interest expenses going forward. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Corporate Revolver and the undrawn availability was $250.0 million.

The available amount is not subject to borrowing base constraints. We have the right to cancel all the undrawn commitments under the Corporate Revolver. We are required to repay certain amounts due under the Corporate Revolver with sales of certain subsidiaries or sales of certain assets. If an event of default exists under the Corporate Revolver, the lenders can accelerate the maturity and exercise other rights and remedies, including the enforcement of security granted pursuant to the Corporate Revolver over certain assets held by us.

The U.S. and many foreign economies continue to experience uncertainty driven by varying macroeconomic conditions. Although some of these economies have shown signs of improvement, macroeconomic recovery remains uneven. Uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment and associated global economic conditions have resulted in extreme volatility in credit, equity, and foreign currency markets, including the European sovereign debt markets and volatility in various other markets. If any of the financial institutions within our Facility or Corporate Revolver are unable to perform on their commitments, our liquidity could be impacted. We actively monitor all of the financial institutions participating in our Facility and Corporate Revolver. None of the financial institutions have indicated to us that they may be unable to perform on their commitments. In addition, we periodically review our banking and financing relationships, considering the stability of the institutions and other aspects of the relationships. Based on our monitoring activities, we currently believe our banks will be able to perform on their commitments.

Senior Notes

We have three series of senior notes outstanding, which we collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes.” Our 7.125% Senior Notes mature on April 4, 2026, and interest is payable on the 7.125% Senior Notes each April 4 and October 4. Our 7.500% Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2028, and interest is payable on the 7.500% Senior Notes each March 1 and September 1. Our 7.750% Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2027, and interest is payable on the 7.750% Senior Notes each May 1 and November 1.

The Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Kosmos Energy Ltd. and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior indebtedness (including all borrowings under the Corporate Revolver) and rank effectively junior in right of payment to all of its existing and future secured indebtedness (including all borrowings under the Facility and the GoM Term Loan). The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries owning the Company's U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets and the interests acquired in the Anadarko WCTP Acquisition, and on a subordinated, unsecured basis by entities that borrow under, or guarantee, our Facility.

GoM Term Loan

The GoM Term Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that affect our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge, dispose of assets, and make distributions, dividends, investments or capital expenditures, among other things. The GoM Term Loan is guaranteed on a senior, secured basis by certain subsidiaries owning the Company's U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets.

The GoM Term Loan includes certain representations and warranties, indemnities and events of default that, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, arise as a result of a payment default, failure to comply with covenants, material inaccuracy of representation or warranty, and certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. If there is an event of default, all or any portion of the outstanding indebtedness may be immediately due and payable and other rights may be exercised including against the collateral.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies related to our revenue recognition, exploration and development costs, receivables, income taxes, derivative instruments and hedging activities, estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves, asset retirement obligations, leases and impairment of long-lived assets as critical accounting policies. The policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. Other than items discussed in Note 2 — Accounting Policies, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies which are summarized in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risks” as it relates to our currently anticipated transactions refers to the risk of loss arising from changes in commodity prices and interest rates. These disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage ongoing market risk exposures. We enter into market-risk sensitive instruments for purposes other than to speculate.

We manage market and counterparty credit risk in accordance with our policies. In accordance with these policies and guidelines, our management determines the appropriate timing and extent of derivative transactions. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 2 — Accounting Policies, Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 10— Fair Value Measurements” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for a description of the accounting procedures we follow relative to our derivative financial instruments.

The following table reconciles the changes that occurred in fair values of our open derivative contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2022:


	Derivative Contracts Assets (Liabilities)
	Commodities
	(In thousands)
Fair value of contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2021	$	(66,315)
Changes in contract fair value	(367,374)
Contract maturities	223,618
Fair value of contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2022	$	(210,071)

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s revenues, earnings, cash flows, capital investments and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our crude oil, which have historically been very volatile. Substantially all of our oil sales are indexed against Dated Brent, and Heavy Louisiana Sweet. Oil prices in the first six months of 2022 ranged between $78.99 and $137.64 per Bbl for Dated Brent, with Heavy Louisiana Sweet experiencing similar volatility during the first six months of 2022.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

We enter into various oil derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production. These contracts currently consist of collars, put options and call options. In regards to our obligations under our various commodity derivative instruments, if our production does not exceed our existing hedged positions, our exposure to our commodity derivative instruments would increase. In addition, a reduction in our ability to access credit could reduce our ability to implement derivative contracts on commercially reasonable terms.

Commodity Price Sensitivity

The following table provides information about our oil derivative financial instruments that were sensitive to changes in oil prices as of June 30, 2022. Volumes and weighted average prices are net of any offsetting derivatives entered into.

(2)Fair values are based on the average forward oil prices on June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, our open commodity derivative instruments were in a net liability position of $209.9 million. As of June 30, 2022, a hypothetical 10% price increase in the commodity futures price curves would decrease future pre-tax earnings by approximately $80.1 million. Similarly, a hypothetical 10% price decrease would increase future pre-tax earnings by approximately $83.8 million.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Changes in market interest rates affect the amount of interest we pay on certain of our borrowings. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility and GoM Term Loan, which as of June 30, 2022 total $0.9 billion and have a weighted average interest rate of 5.1%, are subject to variable interest rates which expose us to the risk of earnings or cash flow loss due to potential increases in market interest rates. If the floating market rate increased 10% at this level of floating rate debt, we would pay an estimated additional $1.9 million interest expense per year. The commitment fees on the undrawn availability under the Facility and the Corporate Revolver are not subject to changes in interest rates. All of our other long-term indebtedness is fixed rate and does not expose us to the risk of cash flow loss due to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, a change in the market interest rates could impact interest costs associated with future debt issuances or any future borrowings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of our disclosure committee in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accurate, complete and timely. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of

the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Consequently, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
