    "2025 marked the start of our transformation – building the foundation for the future," said Paul Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Talos. "In June, we introduced an enhanced corporate strategy designed to position Talos as the leading pure‑play offshore E&P company. Our strategy is built on three core pillars: driving continuous improvement across our business, growing production and profitability, and building a long‑lived, scalable portfolio, all supported by a disciplined capital allocation framework. Since announcing this strategy, we strengthened our leadership team and we've been laser‑focused on execution. In 2025, we realized more than $70 million in free cash flow enhancements, putting us on a strong trajectory toward achieving our $100 million target in 2026. We generated approximately $420 million in free cash flow, enabling us to return $120 million of capital to shareholders while strengthening our balance sheet. We delivered several key operational milestones, including bringing Sunspear and Katmai West #2 online and announcing an exciting discovery at Daenerys, which we plan to appraise in the second quarter of 2026. Our accomplishments in 2025 underscore the momentum we are building and reinforce our confidence in the path ahead. In 2026, we are looking forward to the opportunities to continue investing for the future and executing our strategy with discipline and focus."

    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE

    Operations Update: 

    Production Update: During the fourth quarter, Talos temporarily shut in production from the Genovesa well due to the failure of the surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (SCSSV) which impacted production by approximately 3 Mboe/d. Talos expects the Genovesa well to return to production in the third quarter of 2026 following completion of the planned workover.

    Katmai: In mid‑2025, gross processing capacity from the Talos-owned Tarantula facility was expanded to 35 Mboe/d to accommodate higher volumes following the success of the Katmai West #2 well. Most recently, additional debottlenecking efforts have boosted Tarantula's throughput to approximately 38 Mboe/d. Talos, as operator, holds a 50% working interest ("W.I."), and entities managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holds a 50% W.I.

    Cardona: The Company successfully drilled and completed the Cardona well in late 2025, delivering the project under budget and ahead of schedule. Production commenced early 2026, with the well flowing to the Talos-owned Pompano facility. Talos, as operator, holds a 65% W.I., and entities managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation holds a 35% W.I.

    CPN: The Company recently successfully drilled the CPN well in the first quarter of 2026. CPN was delivered under budget and ahead of schedule, with first production from the well expected in the second half of 2026. Talos, as operator, holds 65% W.I., Walter Oil and Gas Corp. holds a 25% W.I., and HEQ holds a 10% W.I.

    Zama: Harbour Energy plc was named operator of the Zama project offshore Mexico in December 2025. Under the agreement, Talos retains the right to appoint key personnel to the project team. The focus will shift to completing engineering and design activities in 2026, paving the way for a final investment decision thereafter.

    Manta Ray: The non-operated Manta Ray well was drilled in late 2025. The well encountered hydrocarbons but was deemed non-commercial. Talos held a 40% W.I. and Walter Oil and Gas Corp., as operator, held a 60% W.I.

    Exploration and Appraisal Update:

    Daenerys: In August 2025, Talos announced successful drilling results at the Daenerys exploration prospect located on Walker Ridge blocks 106, 107, 150 and 151. The discovery well was drilled to a total vertical depth of 33,228 feet utilizing the West Vela deepwater drillship and encountered oil pay in multiple high-quality, sub-salt Miocene sands. The discovery well has been temporarily suspended to preserve its future utility. Talos plans to drill an appraisal well later in the second quarter of 2026 to further define the discovered resource. Talos is encouraged by the results of the Daenerys discovery well, which confirms the presence of oil and validates Talos's geologic and geophysical models. Talos, as operator, holds a 27% W.I., Shell Offshore Inc. holds a 22.5% W.I., Red Willow holds a 22.5% W.I., Houston Energy, L.P. holds a 10%, HEQ II Daenerys, LLC holds a 9% W.I., and Cathexis holds a 9% W.I.

    Gulf of America Lease Sale: Talos was an active participant in the Gulf of America Lease Sale held in December 2025, where the Company was named as the apparent high bidder on 11 new leases for approximately $15 million. The new leases bring eight new development and exploration prospects into the Company's portfolio.

    Share Repurchase Program:

    In the fourth quarter of 2025, Talos repurchased 1.5 million shares for $16.4 million, representing an average price of $11.04 per share. In 2025, Talos returned $119.1 million or approximately 29% of annual free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases which reduced outstanding share count by approximately 7%. And since announcing its current return of capital framework, Talos has returned approximately 44% of free cash flow to shareholders.

    The remaining share repurchase authorization as of December 31, 2025, is approximately $81 million. Under Talos's capital allocation framework, management expects to allocate up to 50% of annual free cash flow to share repurchases. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the Company's share repurchase program will depend on market conditions, share price, legal requirements, and other factors, and may be made from time to time in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    Optimal Performance Plan for Cash Flow Enhancements:

    In June 2025, Talos initiated the Optimal Performance Plan for Cash Flow Enhancements, targeting improvements in capital efficiency, margin enhancement, commercial opportunities, and organizational performance. The Company set a 2025 year-end target of $25 million, which was surpassed by realizing $72 million in 2025. Based on the strong execution and delivery in 2025, Talos is well-positioned to achieve the 2026 target of $100 million.

    Credit Facility Update:

    In January 2026, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which reaffirmed the Company's borrowing base of $700 million and extended the maturity date to January 30, 2030.

    Impairment:

    Talos accounts for its assets under the full cost method requiring the ceiling test to be calculated each quarter utilizing 12-month trailing commodity prices. Driven by lower average oil prices, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $170.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 under the "ceiling test" of its full cost pool of oil and gas assets. This non-cash charge does not impact cash flows of the Company.

    YEAR-END 2025 RESERVES

    As of December 31, 2025, Talos had proved reserves of 174.7 MMBoe, comprised of 75% oil and 81% liquids. The Standardized Measure of Talos's standalone reserves was approximately $2.8 billion and the PV-10 of Talos proved reserves(1) was approximately $3.2 billion. In addition to proved reserves, Talos's probable reserves as of December 31, 2025 were 102.5 MMBoe with a corresponding PV-10(1)(2) of approximately $2.3 billion. The proved and probable reserves are prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. ("NSAI"). All figures are fully burdened by and net of all plugging and abandonment costs associated with the properties included in the reserves report. The following tables summarize proved reserves at December 31, 2025 based on SEC pricing of $65.37 per barrel of oil and $3.39 per MMBtu of natural gas, before differentials.

    PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. See "Supplemental Non-GAAP Information" below for additional detail and a reconciliation of PV-10 of our proved reserves to the corresponding standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at December 31, 2025. PV-10 is presented inclusive of the plugging and abandonment obligations and before hedges. SEC pricing of $65.39 per barrel of oil and $3.39 per MMBtu of natural gas, before differentials.

    (2)

    Investors should be cautioned that estimates of PV-10 of probable reserves, as well as underlying volumetric estimates, are inherently more uncertain of being recovered and realized than comparable measures for proved reserves. Further, because estimates of probable reserve volumes have not been adjusted for risk due to this uncertainty of recovery, their summation may be of limited use.

    2026 OPERATIONAL & FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

    Talos intends to prioritize high-margin oil production in 2026 underpinned by balanced investment in infrastructure-led development, exploration and appraisal, and the multi-well, non-operated development at Monument. Capital Expenditures guidance for 2026 is expected to range from $500 to $550 million. P&A Expenditures are expected to range from $100 to $130 million. Approximately 40% of total capex is non-operated, largely driven by the Beacon-operated Monument project. Approximately 10% of total capex will be allocated to exploration. Production for 2026 is expected to be in the range from 62 to 66 MBo/d; 85 to 90 MBoe/d.

    Production for the first quarter 2026 is estimated to be in the range from 60 to 64 MBo/d; 84 to 88 MBoe/d.

    Talos's production guidance takes into account known and anticipated factors, including expected planned downtime. Furthermore, the guidance also considers potential expected but unplanned downtime due to unforeseen risks and weather-related disruptions.

    The following summarizes Talos's full-year 2026 operational and production guidance.

    Includes cash interest expense on debt and finance lease, surety charges and amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts.

    *Due to the forward-looking nature a reconciliation of Cash Operating Expenses and Workovers and G&A to the most directly comparable GAAP measure could not be reconciled without unreasonable efforts.

    CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The information in this communication includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this communication regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this communication, the words "will," "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "forecast," "may," "objective," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements may include statements about: business strategy; estimated ultimate recovery (EUR), estimated gross resource potential and reserves; drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs; our ability to replace the reserves that we produce through drilling and property acquisitions; financial strategy;  borrowing base under our bank credit facility, availability of financing sources, liquidity position and capital required for our development program, acquisitions and other capital expenditures; anticipated levels of stock repurchases and leverage ratio; realized oil and natural gas prices; changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements including such changes that may be implemented by the current or future presidential administrations or foreign governments, and the impact of such policies on us, our customers and suppliers, and the global economic environment; our ability to obtain surety bonds on commercially reasonable terms; expected collateral requirements under existing or future surety agreements; market factors impacting the availability of surety bonds; volatility in the political, legal and regulatory environments where we currently or in the future may operate; risks related to future mergers and acquisitions, including the risk we may fail to realize the expected benefits of any such transaction; timing and amount of future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs including a potential increase in Venezuelan oil supply and any related impact on global oil prices and domestic oil production; our hedging strategy and results; future drilling plans; availability of pipeline connections and other infrastructure on economic terms; competition, government regulations, including financial assurance requirements, and legislative and political developments; our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals; pending legal, governmental or environmental matters; our marketing of oil, natural gas and NGLs; our integration of acquisitions and the anticipated post-acquisition performance of the Company; future leasehold or business acquisitions on desired terms; costs of developing properties; general economic conditions, including the impact of continued inflation and associated changes in monetary policy; political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil, natural gas and NGL producing countries and acts of terrorism or sabotage; credit markets; estimates of future income taxes; our estimates and forecasts of the timing, number, profitability and other results of wells we expect to drill and other exploration activities; our strategy, timeline and results with respect to our investment in the Zama asset; uncertainty regarding our future operating results and our future revenues and expenses; anticipated capital efficiency, margin enhancement and organizational improvements and additional cash flow; impact of new accounting pronouncements on earnings in future periods; and plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this communication that are not historical. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility; global demand for oil and natural gas; the ability or willingness of OPEC and other state-controlled oil companies to set and maintain oil production levels and the impact of any such actions; foreign wars and conflicts, including the lack of a resolution to the war in Ukraine and ongoing hostilities in Israel and the Middle East and recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela, and their impact on commodity markets; the impact of any pandemic, and governmental measures related thereto; lack of necessary infrastructure, transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government and regulations; political risks, including a global trade war or the impact of a prolonged federal government shutdown or lapse in federal appropriations that could disrupt our operations and future drilling plans and opportunities; lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services; adverse weather events, including tropical storms, hurricanes, winter storms and loop currents; cybersecurity threats and incidents; elevated inflation and the impact of central bank policy in response thereto; environmental risks; failure to find, acquire or gain access to other discoveries and prospects or to successfully develop and produce from our current discoveries and prospects; geologic risk; drilling and other operating risks; well control risk; regulatory changes, including the impact of financial assurance requirements; changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of increased tariffs and resulting consequences; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production; cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; potential adverse reactions or competitive responses to our acquisitions and other transactions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of acquired assets and operations; risks to our industry and business operations associated with legal challenges by non-governmental organizations and other groups; and the other risks discussed in "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qs, each as filed with the SEC. Should any risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication.

    PRODUCTION ESTIMATES 

    Estimates of our future production volumes are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation, marketing and storage of oil and gas are subject to disruption due to infrastructure constraints, transportation, processing and storage availability, mechanical failure, human error, adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes, global political and macroeconomic events and numerous other factors. Our estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance and estimated resource potential and ultimate recovery, which may vary significantly from those assumed. Therefore, we can give no assurance that our future production volumes will be as estimated.

    RESERVE INFORMATION

    Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions used by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify upward or downward revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered. In addition, we may use "estimated resource potential," "gross reserves," "estimated resource," "total recoverable resource potential" and "estimated ultimate recovery" (or EUR) which are not measures of "reserves" prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines or permitted to be included in SEC filings. These types of resource estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, are inherently more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves or other reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines. These types of estimates are subject to a substantially greater risk of actually being realized.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 

    This release may include the use of various measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP) such as, but not limited to, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., LTM Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., Net Debt, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc., Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to Talos Energy Inc. and Leverage, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. excluding hedges, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. per diluted share, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Cash Operating Expenses and Workovers, Adjusted General & Administrative Expense and PV-10. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations for non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are included at the end of this release.

    SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP INFORMATION

    Certain financial information included in our financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures which may be reported by other companies. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP measures are a meaningful measure of financial performance that can be used by investors, analysts and management in evaluating the performance of our business and will assist such readers of our financial statements in considering the results of this business in comparative periods.

    Reconciliation of General and Administrative Expenses to Adjusted General and Administrative

    We believe the presentation of Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses provides management and investors with (i) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (ii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iii) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted General & Administrative Expenses has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:

    General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative Expenses generally consist of costs incurred for overhead, including payroll and benefits for our corporate staff, costs of maintaining our headquarters, costs of managing our production operations, bad debt expense, equity-based compensation expense, audit and other fees for professional services and legal compliance. A portion of these expenses are allocated based on the percentage of employees dedicated to each operating segment.

    "EBITDA," and "Adjusted EBITDA" provide management and investors with (i) additional information to evaluate, with certain adjustments, items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our debt agreements, (ii) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (iii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iv) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:

    EBITDA. Net income (loss) plus interest expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation, depletion and amortization; and accretion expense.

    Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA plus non-cash write-down of oil and natural gas properties, transaction and other (income) expenses, decommissioning obligations, the net change in fair value of derivatives (mark to market effect, net  of cash settlements and premiums related to these derivatives), (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash write-down of other well equipment and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

    Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. Adjusted EBITDA, less adjustments for noncontrolling interest.

    Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. excluding hedges. We have historically provided as a supplement to—rather than in lieu of—Adjusted EBITDA including hedges, provides useful information regarding our results of operations and profitability by illustrating the operating results of our oil and natural gas properties without the benefit or detriment, as applicable, of our financial oil and natural gas hedges. By excluding our oil and natural gas hedges, we are able to convey actual operating results using realized market prices during the period, thereby providing analysts and investors with additional information they can use to evaluate the impacts of our hedging strategies over time.

    Reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure - Proved Reserves

    Reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 is not an estimate of the fair market value of the Company's properties. Talos and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies and of the potential return on investment related to the companies' properties without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. PV-10 may be reconciled to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows at such dates by adding the discounted future income taxes associated with such reserves to the Standardized Measure. 

    The table below presents the reconciliation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows to PV-10 of our proved reserves:

    Year Ended December 31, 2025

    All estimated future costs to settle asset retirement obligations associated with our proved reserves have been included in our calculation of the standardized measure for the period presented.

    Standardized measure is based on management estimates and is not audited by third party reserve engineers.
