KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
DALLAS-November 6, 2017-- Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos") (NYSE: KOS) announced today financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2017. For the third quarter of 2017, the Company generated a net loss of $63.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share as compared to net loss of $59.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the same period last year. When adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results, the Company generated an adjusted net loss(1) of $36.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017.
"Over the first nine months of 2017, our strong free cash flow has allowed us to reduce debt and to grow the value of our company through both organic and inorganic opportunities," said Andrew G. Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have ramped up production at the TEN fields, progressed the Tortue project offshore Mauritania and Senegal with our partner BP, and acquired a strategic exploration and production position in Equatorial Guinea which is immediately accretive. Our exploration portfolio remains strong with four world-class prospects to be tested in Mauritania, Senegal, and Suriname over the next 12 months."
Third quarter 2017 oil revenues were $151.2 million versus $46.6 million in the same quarter of 2016, on sales of 2.9 million barrels of oil in 2017 as compared to 0.9 million barrels in 2016. Third quarter 2017 oil revenues exclude $12.1 million of derivative settlements. Realized oil revenues, including the impact of the Company's hedging program, were $55.57 per barrel of oil sold in the third quarter of 2017. At the end of the quarter, the Company was in a net underlift position of approximately 0.4 million barrels of oil.
Production expense for the third quarter was $39 million, or $13.33 per barrel, versus $14 million, or $14.33 per barrel, in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in total production expense was attributable to lifting two more cargoes than in the year ago quarter.
Exploration expenses totaled $37 million for the third quarter, compared to $66 million in the same period of 2016 primarily the result of lower geologic and geophysical costs. While Kosmos was carried for the Hippocampe-1 exploration well by BP, $21 million of expenses related to the drilling rig that are not eligible for reimbursement were expensed during the quarter.
Depletion and depreciation expense for the quarter was $73 million, or $25.01 per barrel. This was an increase from $18.84 per barrel in the third quarter of 2016, primarily a result of production from the TEN fields coming online, which has a higher depletion rate.
General and administrative expenses were $20 million during the third quarter, slightly less than the same period in 2016. This amount includes approximately $10 million in cash expense and $10 million in non-cash equity based compensation expense.
Third quarter results included a mark-to-market loss of $27 million related to the Company's oil derivative contracts. At September 30, 2017, the Company's hedging position had a total commodity net asset value of $1.6 million. As of quarter end, Kosmos had approximately 14 million barrels of oil hedged from 2017 to 2019.
Total capital expenditures in the third quarter were $61 million. In the first nine months of 2017 Kosmos spent approximately $217 million which was offset by the initial proceeds from the BP transaction of $222 million resulting in a credit to the capital budget of $5 million.
Kosmos exited the third quarter of 2017 with approximately $1.3 billion of liquidity and $890 million of net debt, including a year-to-date voluntary repayment of $250 million on our reserves-based lending facility in 2017.
Operational Update
Ghana
During the third quarter of 2017, gross sales volumes from Ghana averaged approximately 160,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), including volumes from the Jubilee and TEN fields which averaged approximately 100,000 bopd and 60,000 bopd, respectively.
The Jubilee FPSO turret remediation project has continued to make good progress during the year. Following the spread mooring of the FPSO at its current heading in late February, optimization of the offtake procedures has allowed the Jubilee field to regularly produce in excess of 100,000 bopd. The Jubilee partners and the Government of Ghana have now agreed on the need to stabilize the turret bearing and rotate the FPSO. The operator estimates stabilization will require two shutdowns in early 2018, resulting in approximately four weeks of downtime. Planning for the rotation of the vessel to its optimal heading is ongoing, with work expected to begin around year-end 2018.
In mid-October, the partnership received approval for the Greater Jubilee Full Field Development Plan (GJFFDP) from the Government of Ghana. The approval of the GJFFDP establishes a price for gas sales and allows for drilling to resume in 2018, which is expected to increase production, extend the field production profile, and allow the Company to book additional proved reserves.
Production from TEN in the third quarter averaged approximately 60,000 bopd. In September, the Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) issued its final decision in the maritime boundary dispute between the Governments of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. The maritime boundary delimited by the Special Chamber's decision had no impact on the TEN field's production or reserves or otherwise on the company's interests in Ghana. The partnership expects to resume TEN development drilling in early 2018 to ramp up production with additional wells to the FPSO capacity of 80,000 barrels of oil per day.
Mauritania and Senegal
In August, Kosmos completed the drill stem test (DST) of the Tortue-1 well, demonstrating that the Tortue field is a world-class resource and confirming key development parameters including well deliverability, reservoir connectivity, and fluid composition. The Tortue-1 well flowed at a sustained, equipment-constrained rate of approximately 60 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) during the main, extended flow period, with minimal pressure drawdown, providing confidence in well designs that are each capable of producing approximately 200 MMcf/d.
In September, Kosmos closed a farm-in agreement to acquire a 15% non-operated participating interest in Block C18 offshore Mauritania.
In early November the ENSCO DS-12 drilling rig completed plugging and abandonment operations at the Hippocampe-1 location offshore Mauritania and has mobilized to the Lamantin-1 exploration well location to commence drilling operations.
Sao Tome
In August 2017, Kosmos completed the acquisition of an approximately 16,000 square kilometer proprietary 3D seismic survey. This survey is the largest ever conducted in the Company's history, and potentially the largest proprietary 3D seismic survey conducted offshore West Africa.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share 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) depletion and depreciation, (ii) exploration expenses, (iii) interest and other financing costs, net, (iv) unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives, (v) income tax expense, (vi) equity-based compensation, (vii) (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, (viii) restructuring charges and (ix) similar other material items, which management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) after adjusting for the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, cash settlements on commodity derivatives, gain on sale of assets, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges, and then the non-cash and related tax impacts in the same period.
We believe that EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) per share 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. Because EBITDAX, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) per share excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, these measures as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
