KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-August 6, 2018-- Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos") (NYSE: KOS) announced today financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2018. For the second quarter of 2018, the Company generated a net loss of $103.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share as compared to net loss of $8.5 million or $0.02 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 $34.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018.

Andrew G. Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer, said: "The business continued to perform well during the second quarter with strong production from our high-margin production assets in Ghana and Equatorial Guinea. We remain focused on implementing plans in both countries to enhance production going forward. The other parts of our business - development and exploration - continue to make progress against key objectives. The Tortue gas development offshore Mauritania and Senegal is moving forward with front end engineering design (FEED) for Phase 1 of the project progressing on schedule and the partnership's commercial teams evaluating gas marketing proposals from a range of potential buyers. We expect to make a final investment decision (FID) on the Tortue project around the end of the year. In exploration, our program is unchanged, with one remaining test this year offshore Suriname. We expect to spud the Pontoenoe prospect in Block 42 in mid-August. We remain on track to deliver $100 to $200 million of net cash flow in 2018."

Second quarter 2018 oil revenues were $215 million versus $136 million in the same quarter of 2017, on sales of 2.9 million barrels of oil in 2018 as compared to 2.9 million barrels in 2017. Including the impact of the Company's hedging program, revenue was $61.36 per barrel of oil sold in the second quarter of 2018. At quarter end, the Company was in a net underlift position of approximately 0.2 million barrels of oil.

Production expense for the second quarter was $50 million, or $17.21 per barrel, versus $22 million, or $7.41 per barrel, in the second quarter of 2017. Production expense per barrel increased in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily because the year ago quarter included insurance proceeds received related to increased costs due to the Jubilee FPSO turret bearing issue, and a credit accrual adjustment from the operator of the Jubilee and TEN fields. Second quarter 2018 production expense of $17.21 per barrel decreased sequentially from the first quarter of 2018 of $24.18 due to the higher number of liftings at Jubilee, which has a lower unit production expense than TEN.

Exploration expenses totaled $77 million for the second quarter, and includes amounts related to ongoing seismic and geologic and geophysical costs as well as unsuccessful well costs of approximately $45 million related to the Anapai-1 and 1A wells.

Depletion and depreciation expense for the quarter was $74 million, or $25.66 per barrel compared to $24.85 per barrel in the second quarter of 2017.

General and administrative expenses were $17 million during the second quarter. This amount includes approximately $8 million in cash expense and $9 million in non-cash equity based compensation expense.

Second quarter results included a mark-to-market loss of $140 million related to the Company's oil derivative contracts. At June 30, 2018, the Company's hedging position had a total commodity net liability value of approximately $219 million. As of the quarter end and including recently executed hedges, Kosmos had approximately 16 million barrels of oil hedged covering 2018 and 2019.

Gain on equity method investments, net during the second quarter was approximately $16 million and represents Kosmos' 50 percent ownership of our equity method investment in Kosmos Trident International Petroleum Inc. (KTIPI), which holds our production interests in Equatorial Guinea. Under the equity method of accounting, Kosmos only recognizes its share of the adjusted net income of KTIPI, including basis difference amortization, which is recorded in the Gain on equity method investments, net in the consolidated statement of operations. Year to date through the end of July, the assets have delivered approximately $148 million of cash dividend distributions to Kosmos, or approximately 64 percent of the purchase price.

Total capital expenditures in the second quarter were $97 million, bringing the first half total to $155 million.

Kosmos exited the second quarter of 2018 with approximately $1.3 billion of liquidity and $1,079 million of net debt.

Operational Update

Ghana

During the second quarter of 2018, gross sales volumes from Ghana averaged approximately 129,400 barrels of oil per day (bopd), including volumes from the Jubilee and TEN fields.

Gross production from Jubilee averaged approximately 67,900 barrels of oil per day during the second quarter resulting in Kosmos lifting two cargos, as expected. During the quarter the field was shut down for the second phase turret remediation and stabilization work which was successfully completed. We continue to expect the rotation of the vessel to take place around the end of 2018 with minimal impact to production in 2018. Following the shutdown, the field has consistently produced above 100,000 bopd. The combination of the work performed during the shutdown and the completion of two producer wells, one each in the third and fourth quarter this year, is expected to allow oil production to grow towards the FPSO nameplate capacity of 120,000 bopd.

Gross production from TEN averaged approximately 61,500 bopd during the second quarter, resulting in Kosmos lifting one cargo, as expected. Two producer wells are expected to be completed in the field by year-end, including the Ntomme-5 well in August, which is the first well to be put on production since field startup two years ago. This drilling activity at TEN is expected to allow production to increase towards the FPSO capacity of 80,000 bopd.

Kosmos and its partners have decided to add a second rig, the Stena Forth, in Ghana beginning in October 2018, with the objective of accelerating the addition of new wells. There will be no impact to the 2018 capital budget as the savings from the later arrival of the first rig will offset the costs of the second rig.

Equatorial Guinea

Gross oil production from the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex averaged over 46,000 bopd during the second quarter of 2018, exceeding the full year 2018 forecast of 43,000 barrels per day for the second quarter in a row. Second quarter production resulted in two cargo liftings net to KTIPI, or one cargo net to Kosmos' 50 percent interest in KTIPI. Kosmos and it's partners are currently focused on production optimization and planning for the first phase electric submersible pump (ESP) installation with the work expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2018. In May, Kosmos began a 3D seismic survey of approximately 10,100 square kilometers over blocks EG-21, EG-24, S and W offshore Equatorial Guinea, and approximately 200 square kilometers over Block G.

Suriname

Kosmos expects to commence drilling operations on the Pontoenoe-1 well in mid-August. Pontoenoe is the first of up to three independent prospects in Block 42 offshore Suriname and is a similar play type to the Turbot and Longtail discoveries located approximately 70 kilometers to the west in Guyana.

Tortue

Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contracts have been awarded by the operator and this work remains ongoing. In addition, Kosmos has received proposals for gas marketing from a shortlisted group of potential buyers and is in the process of evaluating these with the partners. Kosmos expects a final investment decision for the Greater Tortue project around the end of 2018 and is aiming for first gas in late 2021.

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) 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 Facility EBITDAX definition includes 50% of the EBITDAX adjustments of Kosmos-Trident International Petroleum Inc. 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.
