KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2020
RESULTS
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-February 22, 2021-- Kosmos Energy Ltd.
("Kosmos") (NYSE: KOS) announced today its financial and operating
results for the fourth quarter of 2020. For the quarter, the
Company generated a net income of $8 million, or $0.02 per diluted
share. When adjusted for certain items that impact the
comparability of results, the Company generated an adjusted net
loss(1) of $49 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter of 2020.
FOURTH QUARTER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS
-- Net Production(2) - 60,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day
(boepd) with sales of 71,200 boepd
-- Revenues - $274 million, or $41.84 per boe
-- Production expense - $104 million, or $15.85 per boe
-- General and administrative expenses - $15 million, $9 million
cash expense and $6 million non-cash
-- Capital expenditures:
-- $46 million Base Business capital expenditures
-- $75 million Mauritania and Senegal, primarily accrued non-cash capital expenditures
-- Net cash provided by operating activities - $175 million; free cash flow(1) - $99 million
At quarter end, the Company was in a net overlift position of
approximately 0.2 million barrels of oil.
Commenting on the company's fourth quarter and full year 2020
performance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis
said: "Kosmos delivered on its key strategic priorities in 2020,
despite the challenges faced by the sector during the year. With
focus on safe and reliable operations across the portfolio, we
delivered robust production performance. In Mauritania and Senegal,
Phase 1 of the Tortue project maintained momentum and finished the
year around 50% complete with a financing path established. We
monetized a portfolio of exploration assets in 2020 to focus
activity on fast payback, high-return opportunities in proven
basins we know well. We also took quick, decisive steps to protect
the balance sheet and reduce costs.
Importantly, Kosmos reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability
during the year by publishing its first Climate Risk &
Resilience Report, setting a goal to be carbon neutral for Scope 1
and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 or sooner, and by publishing the
latest edition of our annual Sustainability Report, which reports
transparently on our strong environmental, social, and governance
credentials.
Operational momentum is building in 2021, with a significant
uptick in forecast activity across the portfolio. We expect the
nine planned infill wells in the base business to provide near-term
production growth and the ramp up in activity at Phase 1 of Tortue
to reach 80% completion by year-end. In addition, we plan to
selectively invest in the best ILX projects across our diverse
portfolio, as evidenced by the early success we had with the
Winterfell discovery well last month.
With the strategic actions we took in 2020, we enter 2021 with a
lower cost base, a solid balance sheet, healthy liquidity and the
operational momentum to deliver value to our shareholders from a
portfolio of assets that are low cost and lower carbon."
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Kosmos returned to positive free cash flow with approximately
$100 million in the fourth quarter, driven by increased oil sales,
lower costs and completion of the Shell transaction.
Kosmos exited the fourth quarter of 2020 with approximately $2.0
billion of net debt and available liquidity of around $570
million.
The base business net capital expenditure for 2020 was
approximately $147 million, in-line with company guidance.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Production
Total net production in the fourth quarter of 2020 averaged
approximately 60,200 boepd(2) . Full year net production of
approximately 60,800 boepd is consistent with the Company's updated
guidance.
Ghana
Production in Ghana averaged approximately 24,300 barrels of oil
per day (bopd) net in the fourth quarter of 2020. As forecasted,
Kosmos lifted three cargos from Ghana during the fourth quarter for
a total of 10 cargos in 2020.
Gross production rates at Jubilee averaged approximately 75,500
bopd during the quarter with FPSO uptime of around 95%. TEN
production averaged approximately 43,200 bopd gross for the fourth
quarter with FPSO uptime of 98%.
In early 2021, the Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) buoy was
commissioned with the first offloading taking place in February.
The CALM buoy will replace the need for shuttle tankers and is
expected to reduce operating expenses going forward. Infill
drilling is also expected to resume in the second quarter with
drilling planned for three wells on Jubilee and one on TEN in 2021.
The partnership entered into a rig contract of up to four years for
the Maersk Venturer, which is expected to arrive on location in the
second quarter.
U.S. Gulf of Mexico
Production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico averaged approximately
25,500 boepd net (84% oil) during the fourth quarter, including
recognition of contractual royalty relief of approximately 3,600
boepd.
In the fourth quarter, the Company commenced the Kodiak-2
completion, which is expected to begin production in March. Also
during the quarter, drilling operations began on the Winterfell
infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) well (Kosmos working interest
17.5%). In January 2021, the Company announced an oil discovery at
Winterfell, which encountered approximately 26 meters (85 feet) of
net oil pay in two intervals. Kosmos is now working with partners
on an appraisal plan and development options. The discovery is
located within tie back distance to several existing and planned
host facilities. The Company plans to drill a second ILX well at
Zora in the second half of the year.
After the encouraging results from the Tornado-4 water injection
well in 2020, another infill well at Tornado is planned by the
Operator in the middle of this year.
Equatorial Guinea
Production in Equatorial Guinea averaged approximately 31,200
bopd gross and 10,500 bopd net in the fourth quarter of 2020. As
forecasted, Kosmos lifted 1.5 cargos from Equatorial Guinea during
the quarter for a total of 4.5 cargos net in 2020.
In 2021, partners have commenced the second phase of the planned
electrical submersible pump program as well an infrastructure
enhancement campaign to increase operational uptime across the
assets. Our first infill drilling campaign is expected to start in
the second quarter with three wells planned.
Mauritania & Senegal
Phase 1 of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project made good progress
in the quarter and was around 50% complete by year end. The project
remains on track for first gas in the first half of 2023.
To fund its current interest, Kosmos has established a financing
path to first gas including the sale of the Company's interest in
the FPSO, the re-financing of the National Oil Company loans and a
direct investment in Kosmos' Mauritania and Senegal position. Good
progress has been made with the FPSO sale with Kosmos and BP
signing a Memorandum of Understanding this month outlining the key
terms of the transaction. Closing is now targeted within the second
quarter of 2021. The sale of the FPSO is expected to reduce Kosmos'
cash requirements to first gas by approximately $320 million as
previously communicated.
The strong progress with Phase 1 is enabling the advancement of
Phase 2 towards final investment decision, which is targeted for
the end of 2022. Kosmos continues to collaborate with operator BP
and the National Oil Companies of Mauritania and Senegal on a more
capital efficient project, which leverages the infrastructure built
in Phase 1 to reduce costs and enhance the returns of future
phases. With lower capital requirements from an optimized scheme,
Kosmos expects to fund its interest in Phase 2 largely from Phase 1
cash flows.
Closing of the sale of a portfolio of exploration assets to
Shell
In December 2020, the Company successfully completed the
previously announced transaction with B.V. Dordtsche Petroleum
Maatschappij ("Shell"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch
Shell PLC (LSE: RDSA), to farm down interests in Suriname, Sao Tome
& Principe and Namibia for approximately $95 million, plus
future contingent payments of up to $100 million. The transfer of
interests in South Africa is expected to take place in 2021.
2021 Capital Expenditure Budget
Kosmos expects to spend approximately $225 to $275 million in
2021, excluding Mauritania and Senegal, around 80% of which will
target maintaining and growing existing production and up to 20%
targeting growth activities, mainly through infrastructure-led
exploration.
In Mauritania and Senegal, total 2021 capital expenditure for
Kosmos' working interest is expected to be around $350 million and
is expected to be funded primarily from proceeds of the previously
mentioned FPSO sale ($250 million in 2021) and National Oil Company
loan financing ($100 million).
Reserves
At year end 2020, Kosmos had 2P reserves of around 480 million
barrels, a reserves-to-production life of over 20 years, and 1P SEC
reserves of around 140 million barrels (which excludes Tortue Phase
1), a reserves-to-production life of around 7 years, as certified
by an independent third party.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Performance
As part of our commitment to strong Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) performance, Kosmos recently published a Climate
Risk and Resilience Report that adheres to the recommendations of
the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The
report reviews how Kosmos is identifying and managing
climate-related risks and opportunities across four categories:
Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. In
addition, the report includes a commitment to achieve Scope 1 and
Scope 2 carbon neutrality by 2030 or sooner, a full scenario
analysis demonstrating the resilience of our portfolio including a
scenario fully compliant with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and
a description of innovative nature-based carbon capture projects
used to mitigate emissions that cannot be eliminated.
During the fourth quarter Kosmos also published its annual
Sustainability Report (previously known as the Corporate
Responsibility Report) which reports on the company's ESG
performance and illustrates our commitment to supporting the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including our leading
position on transparency and in-country social investment
innovation, and operating in accordance with our Business
Principles.
(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 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. The
Company defines net debt as the sum of notes outstanding issued at
par and borrowings on the Facility and Corporate revolver less cash
and cash equivalents and 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.
