Kosmos Energy Ltd. (“Kosmos” or the “Company”) (NYSE/LSE: KOS)
announced today its financial and operating results for the third
quarter of 2023. For the quarter, the Company generated a net
income of $85 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. When adjusted
for certain items that impact the comparability of results, the
Company generated an adjusted net income(1) of $126 million, or
$0.26 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2023.
THIRD QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
- Net Production(2): ~68,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day
(boepd), with sales of ~73,100 boepd
- Start up of the Jubilee South East development offshore
Ghana
- Post quarter-end, Tiberius infrastructure-led exploration (ILX)
oil discovery offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico
- Post quarter-end, assumption of operatorship and a greater
working interest at Yakaar-Teranga offshore Senegal, subject to
customary government approvals
- Repayment of Gulf of Mexico Term Loan, reducing our cost of
capital and simplifying our capital structure
- Revenues: $526 million, or $78.24 per boe (excluding the impact
of derivative cash settlements)
- Production expense: $139 million, or $20.63 per boe
- Capital expenditures: $193 million
Commenting on the Company’s third quarter 2023 performance,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: “Kosmos
continues to create value for its stakeholders through the
consistent delivery of its strategy to grow production, advance its
advantaged oil and LNG projects, and add resource through
infrastructure-led exploration.
“Production in the quarter increased by around 17% versus the
second quarter following the successful startup of the Jubilee
South East development, with three producers brought online taking
gross field production up to around 100,000 barrels of oil per day,
with continued growth expected.
“In addition, Kosmos advanced its two key development projects
at Winterfell and Tortue Phase 1. When online, these projects
together with Jubilee South East are expected to increase
production by around 50% from the second half of 2022, generating
the cash flow inflection we have been working towards.
“Looking to options for future growth, Kosmos recently announced
the Tiberius oil discovery in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as well as
the assumption of operatorship of the Yakaar-Teranga gas fields
offshore Senegal. These low cost, lower carbon oil and gas projects
are expected to provide the next phase of growth for the company
beyond 2024. We plan to balance the pace and working interest of
these future projects to ensure we can manage our growth and
generate material free cash flow."
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Kosmos exited the third quarter of 2023 with approximately $2.4
billion of total long-term debt and approximately $2.3 billion of
net debt(1) and available liquidity of approximately $0.6 billion.
The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of
approximately $249 million and free cash flow(1) of approximately
$54 million in the third quarter, in line with expectations.
During the quarter, Kosmos repaid the Gulf of Mexico term loan,
simplifying the company's capital structure. The Company also
successfully completed the semi-annual redetermination of the
reserve-based lending facility and deferred the first amortization
period, which results in no scheduled debt maturities until 2025
and beyond.
Net capital expenditure for the third quarter of 2023 was $193
million, in line with guidance.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Production
Total net production(2) in the third quarter of 2023 averaged
approximately 68,200 boepd, a ~17% increase from the second
quarter, in line with guidance. The Company exited the quarter in a
net underlift position of approximately 0.5 million barrels, which
is expected to partially reverse in the fourth quarter.
Ghana
Production in Ghana averaged approximately 43,600 boepd net in
the third quarter of 2023. Kosmos lifted four cargos from Ghana
during the quarter, in line with guidance.
At Jubilee, production averaged approximately 95,900 bopd gross
during the quarter, ~32% higher compared to the previous
quarter.
Three producer wells were brought online during the third
quarter, taking gross field production up to around 100,000
bopd.
Post quarter-end, two water injection wells, which were delayed
due to operational issues, were brought online. This delay coupled
with higher than anticipated downtime of the water injection pumps
within the quarter, resulted in a slower ramp-up in Jubilee
production. This is expected to result in one Jubilee cargo lifting
originally planned for Kosmos in the fourth quarter of 2023, being
deferred into early 2024.
At TEN, production averaged approximately 15,100 bopd gross for
the third quarter, in line with expectations, and lower
quarter-on-quarter largely due to a planned two week shutdown.
The partnership has submitted a draft amended plan of
development for a high-graded activity set at TEN and a combined
gas sales agreement for Jubilee and TEN to the Government of Ghana
for approval. An interim gas sales agreement for Jubilee associated
gas has been extended through November 2023 at a price of
$2.90/mmbtu while discussions are ongoing on a longer-term
agreement.
U.S. Gulf of Mexico
Production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico averaged approximately
15,700 boepd net (~82% oil) during the third quarter, above
guidance due to lower storm activity than anticipated during the
period.
The Winterfell development continues to make good progress.
Drilling of the wells commenced in August and the first well has
now been successfully completed. Partners are targeting first oil
around the end of the first quarter of 2024.
As announced in October, the Tiberius ILX well in Keathley
Canyon, block 964 encountered approximately 250 feet (~75 meters)
of net oil pay in the primary Wilcox target. The Tiberius well is
located in approximately 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) of water and was
drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately 25,800 feet
(7,800 meters).
Kosmos is undertaking rock and fluid analysis to confirm the
production potential of the reservoir, with results expected around
year-end. Kosmos is also working with partners on subsea
development options. The discovery is located approximately 6 miles
southeast of the Occidental-operated Lucius SPAR production
facility, enabling a short tie-back in the event of a
development.
The Odd Job subsea pump project, intended to sustain long-term
production from the field, continues to progress and remains on
track to be in service by mid-2024. The Odd Job field saw some
unplanned downtime in October and is expected back online in
November.
At Kodiak, workover plans have been developed for remediation
and are now expected to commence around the middle of 2024 given
the better than forecast performance of the well this year.
Equatorial Guinea
Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 25,400
bopd gross and 8,900 bopd net in the third quarter of 2023. Kosmos
lifted one cargo from Equatorial Guinea during the quarter, in line
with guidance.
The infill drilling campaign is scheduled to commence in the
fourth quarter of 2023 following a two well workover program
utilizing the drilling rig. The first of three infill wells is
expected to be online around the end of the first quarter 2024,
with all three wells expected online by the second quarter of
2024.
Akeng Deep, an ILX opportunity targeting an estimated pre-drill
gross resource of ~180 million barrels of oil in the deeper Albian
trend, is expected to spud next year following the completion of
the workover and infill drilling campaign.
Mauritania & Senegal
On Greater Tortue Ahmeyim, the following milestones have been
achieved:
- Drilling: Earlier in the year, the operator, successfully
drilled and completed all four wells with expected production
capacity significantly higher than what is required for first
gas.
- Hub Terminal: Construction work is complete, and handover to
operations was completed in August 2023.
- Subsea: Significant progress has been made on the revised plan
to complete installation of the infield flowlines and subsea
structures due to the previously announced delay in the subsea
workstream. Work on the revised plan is expected to commence later
this quarter with new contractors.
- FLNG: Construction and mechanical completion activities are
finishing and pre-commissioning work is underway. The vessel is
expected to sail away later this quarter arriving on location early
next year when hookup work is expected to commence.
- FPSO: Currently en route to Mauritania/Senegal and is now
expected to arrive on location in the first quarter of 2024.
The critical path to first gas on Phase 1 of the Greater Tortue
Ahmeyim project is now through the arrival, hookup and
commissioning of the FPSO. The delivery of first gas in the first
quarter of 2024, as signaled by BP (the operator) in its third
quarter results last week, depends on the execution of this
workstream, which has the potential to slip into the second quarter
of 2024.
On Yakaar-Teranga, Kosmos announced today that it had assumed
operatorship and increased its interest in the field to 90% (from
30%), subject to customary government approvals. Kosmos is working
closely with Senegal's national oil company (PETROSEN) and the
Government of Senegal on an innovative development concept that
prioritizes cost-competitive gas to the rapidly growing domestic
market, combined with an offshore liquefied natural gas facility
targeting exports into international LNG markets. The project
supports the country's ‘Plan Sénégal Emergent’ objective of
providing affordable, abundant, and cleaner energy.
(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) 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, 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.

statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are
not available or practicable to produce. The results are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the results of operations
of the acquired properties and may not be representative of future
operations as they do not include general and administrative
expenses; interest expense; depreciation, depletion, and
amortization; provision for income taxes; and certain other
revenues and expenses not directly associated with revenues from
the sale of crude oil and natural gas.
