Kosmos Energy Announces First Quarter 2025 Results
FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
Net Production(2): ~60,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), with sales of ~49,600 boepd, underlifted by approximately 1.0 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe)
Revenues: $290 million, or $65.27 per boe (excluding the impact of derivative cash settlements)
Production expense: $167 million ($24.99 per boe excluding $58.1 million of production expenses associated with the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) project)
Capital expenditures: $86 million
Post quarter end, commenced export from the GTA project offshore Mauritania & Senegal in April 2025; Currently lifting a second cargo
Completed the 4D seismic survey over Jubilee and TEN that will be used to high grade the 2026+ drilling campaign
Successfully completed the Spring reserve-based lending facility (RBL) redetermination maintaining the $1.35 billion facility size
Commenting on the Company's first quarter 2025 performance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "While the macro backdrop continues to be volatile, Kosmos' priorities announced with our full year 2024 results in February remain unchanged – the delivery of free cash flow from increasing production and a rigorous focus on costs. We are seeing evidence of this with a material reduction in year-on-year capex in the first quarter and production starting to rise in the second quarter after heavy scheduled 1Q maintenance.
Operationally, the GTA partnership achieved a major milestone in April exporting the first cargo from the project, with a second currently loading. Production is ramping up to the contracted sales volume, with potential to push higher towards, or beyond, the nameplate capacity of the floating LNG (FLNG) vessel of 2.7 mtpa. In Ghana, the partnership completed the 4D seismic survey. This new seismic data, combined with the latest processing techniques, will support the high grading of the future infill drilling program.
Financially, the actions taken in 2024 to improve the resilience of the company enable Kosmos to better withstand the current market volatility. We concluded the spring RBL redetermination with a strong reserve base supporting the $1.35 billion facility capacity, with ample liquidity. In addition, we continue to focus on reducing the company's capex and overhead costs and are delivering the targeted reductions.
The long-term outlook for our portfolio of high-quality assets remains positive. A 2P reserves-to-production ratio of over 20 years supports the long-term potential of Kosmos as we focus in the near term on cash generation, cost control and debt paydown."
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Net capital expenditure for the first quarter of 2025 was $86 million, below guidance primarily due to the Ghana 4D seismic campaign coming in under budget and a one-month delay in drilling Winterfell-4. We are working to reduce full year 2025 capex below the $400 million guidance given with the full year 2024 results. In addition, we have made significant progress on the $25 million overhead reduction target.
Operating costs per barrel of oil equivalent were in line with guidance, but higher year on year, reflecting the lower production and higher maintenance in the first quarter of 2025, including a construction support vessel at Jubilee prior to and during the scheduled shutdown and the Winterfell-3 workover.
In March, Kosmos successfully concluded the RBL redetermination, maintaining a facility size of $1.35 billion which is supported by a borrowing base that is materially higher, at a long-term price deck below the current forward curve.
The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $(1) million and free cash flow (1) of approximately $(91) million. As previously signaled, the first quarter free cash flow was impacted by the timing of liftings, heavy scheduled maintenance across the portfolio, and no cash flow contribution from GTA sales in the first quarter.
Kosmos exited the first quarter of 2025 with approximately $2.85 billion of net debt (1) and available liquidity of approximately $400 million. Post quarter end, Kosmos continued its rolling hedging program adding an additional two million barrels of oil. The company now has approximately 40% of remaining 2025 oil production hedged with a floor of approximately $65/boe and a ceiling of approximately $80/boe.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Production
Total net production (2) in the first quarter of 2025 averaged approximately 60,500 boepd, impacted by planned shutdowns at Jubilee in Ghana and at the Kodiak host facility in the Gulf of America. Both shutdowns have been completed, with no major scheduled shutdowns for the remainder of the year. Production was slightly below guidance primarily due to the delayed ramp-up at GTA. Full year 2025 production guidance for GTA remains at 20-25 gross cargos as production ramps up towards the annual contracted level. Full year 2025 company production guidance is unchanged at 70,000 – 80,000 boepd.
The Company exited the quarter in a net underlift position of approximately 1.2 mmboe.
Mauritania and Senegal
The GTA project successfully exported its first LNG cargo in early April, a major milestone for the project. Production has continued to ramp-up with a second cargo currently lifting. Production in the first quarter averaged approximately 1,300 boepd net (7.8 mmcfd). All four FLNG trains are now operational and are being tested at ~10% above the nameplate capacity. Additionally, the subsurface is performing ahead of expectations, with higher connected volumes potentially reducing the number of future wells required.
Near-term, the partnership is continuing to work to reduce operating costs on GTA phase 1, eliminating duplicate costs related to the handover from commissioning to operations. We are also actively progressing the FPSO refinancing which is expected to be completed in the second half of the year. The operator is also investigating alternative operating models that could further materially reduce costs.
The partnership has commenced work on Phase 1+, a low-cost brownfield expansion of the development that is expected to double gas sales through increased LNG production and domestic gas. The expansion would leverage existing infrastructure put in place for the initial phase of GTA with low-cost upgrades to existing facilities that should drive materially lower unit costs and enhance overall project returns.
Ghana
Production in Ghana averaged approximately 33,000 boepd net in the first quarter of 2025. Kosmos lifted two cargos from Ghana during the quarter, in line with guidance.
At Jubilee (38.6% working interest), oil production in the first quarter averaged approximately 66,600 bopd gross, reflecting the scheduled FPSO shutdown that ran from March 25, 2025 to April 8, 2025. The shutdown was completed safely and on budget.
The Noble Venturer rig is due to arrive later this month to drill two Jubilee wells in 2025. The rig is scheduled to undertake a four-well drilling campaign on Jubilee in 2026, which will benefit from the 4D seismic data that is currently being processed with state-of-the-art algorithms.
In the first quarter of 2025, gas production net to Kosmos was approximately 5,300 boepd in line with expectations.
At TEN (20.4% working interest), oil production averaged approximately 16,900 bopd gross for the first quarter.
Gulf of America
Production in the Gulf of America averaged approximately 17,200 boepd net (~85% oil) during the first quarter reflecting the scheduled Kodiak shutdown. Remediation of the Winterfell-3 well was unsuccessful and the partnership is currently evaluating a future sidetrack to produce those reserves. Drilling of the Winterfell-4 well is currently underway and is expected online in the third quarter of 2025.
On Tiberius, Kosmos (operator, 50% working interest) continues to progress the development with our partner Oxy (50% working interest), evaluating opportunities to further enhance the project. This has resulted in a lower cost development, which will be supported by new ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic data being acquired this year.
Equatorial Guinea
Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 25,700 bopd gross and 9,000 bopd net in the first quarter. Kosmos lifted 0.5 cargos from Equatorial Guinea during the quarter, in line with guidance.
For the remainder of the year, production should be supported through a cost effective well work program.
(1) A Non-GAAP measure, see attached reconciliation of non-GAAP measure.
(2) Production means net entitlement volumes. In Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, and Mauritania and Senegal 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 America, this means those volumes net to Kosmos' working interest and net of royalty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and net debt are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines EBITDAX as Net income (loss) plus (i) exploration expense, (ii) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) equity based compensation expense, (iv) unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives (realized losses are deducted and realized gains are added back), (v) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (vi) interest (income) expense, (vii) income taxes, (viii) debt modifications and extinguishments, (ix) doubtful accounts expense and (x) similar other material items which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The Company defines Adjusted net income (loss) as Net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less Oil and gas assets, Other property, and certain other items that may affect the comparability of results and excludes non-recurring activity such as acquisitions, divestitures and National Oil Company ("NOC") financing. NOC financing refers to the amounts funded by Kosmos under the Carry Advance Agreements that the Company has in place with the national oil companies of each of Mauritania and Senegal related to the financing of the respective national oil companies' share of certain development costs at Greater Tortue Ahmeyim. The Company defines net debt as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and total restricted cash.
We believe that EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, Net debt and other similar measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the oil and gas sector and will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods, among securities analysts, as well as company by company. EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and net debt as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
This release also contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow. Due to the forward-looking nature of the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures, management cannot reliably or reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as future impairments and future changes in working capital. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures in future periods could be significant.

Is Amcor plc (NYSE:AMCR) Trading At A 44% Discount?
Explore Amcor's Fair Values from the Community and select yours Key Insights Using the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity, Amcor fair value estimate is US$15.55 Amcor's US$8.73 share price signals that it might be 44% undervalued Analyst price target for AMCR is US$11.04 which is 29% below our fair value estimate Today we will run through one way of estimating the intrinsic value of Amcor plc (NYSE:AMCR) by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. We will use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model on this occasion. Believe it or not, it's not too difficult to follow, as you'll see from our example! We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. What's The Estimated Valuation? We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we need to discount the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at a present value estimate: 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$1.69b US$2.05b US$1.90b US$1.82b US$1.79b US$1.78b US$1.79b US$1.82b US$1.85b US$1.89b Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x6 Analyst x7 Analyst x1 Est @ -3.96% Est @ -1.85% Est @ -0.37% Est @ 0.66% Est @ 1.39% Est @ 1.90% Est @ 2.25% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 7.3% US$1.6k US$1.8k US$1.5k US$1.4k US$1.3k US$1.2k US$1.1k US$1.0k US$984 US$938 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$13b After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 3.1%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 7.3%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2035 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$1.9b× (1 + 3.1%) ÷ (7.3%– 3.1%) = US$47b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$47b÷ ( 1 + 7.3%)10= US$23b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$36b. To get the intrinsic value per share, we divide this by the total number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$8.7, the company appears quite good value at a 44% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind. Important Assumptions The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Amcor as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 7.3%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.995. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Check out our latest analysis for Amcor SWOT Analysis for Amcor Strength Debt is well covered by earnings. Dividend is in the top 25% of dividend payers in the market. Weakness Earnings declined over the past year. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow faster than the American market. Trading below our estimate of fair value by more than 20%. Threat Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Dividends are not covered by earnings and cashflows. Revenue is forecast to grow slower than 20% per year. Looking Ahead: Whilst important, the DCF calculation is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation. Why is the intrinsic value higher than the current share price?

Statutory Profit Doesn't Reflect How Good Gray Media's (NYSE:GTN) Earnings Are
Gray Media, Inc. (NYSE:GTN) recently posted some strong earnings, and the market responded positively. Our analysis found some more factors that we think are good for shareholders. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit? To properly understand Gray Media's profit results, we need to consider the US$134m expense attributed to unusual items. While deductions due to unusual items are disappointing in the first instance, there is a silver lining. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. If Gray Media doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On Gray Media's Profit Performance Unusual items (expenses) detracted from Gray Media's earnings over the last year, but we might see an improvement next year. Based on this observation, we consider it likely that Gray Media's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential! And on top of that, its earnings per share have grown at an extremely impressive rate over the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 4 warning signs for Gray Media (of which 2 are potentially serious!) you should know about. Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Gray Media's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership. Have feedback on this article?
