Talos Energy (TALO) Reports Q2 Loss of $0.84 on Revenues of $203.9M
Talos Energy (NYSE: TALO) reported Q2 EPS of ($0.84). Revenue for the quarter came in at $203.9 million.
President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented, "It was a historical quarter for Talos, as we closed our transformational acquisition of Stone and the Ram Powell deepwater asset, both in May 2018. These assets will also provide significant scale and diversity to our base business, which we expect will allow us to continue to maintain positive free cash flow after investing in our capital program and servicing our debt. Production from the acquired assets will be more impactful in the second half of 2018, since Ram Powell was only partially included in the second quarter. The commencement of production from the Mt. Providence well in July, at the high end of our production rate expectations, will also positively impact the remainder of the year as compared to the first six months.
"Our growth capital is focused on two main goals, which are investing in projects that utilize our existing infrastructure to add high margin barrels with superior pricing, and continuing to pursue moderate risk but high impact exploration efforts, following the success of our significant Zama discovery in offshore Mexico. We continue to stay on schedule on both fronts.
"We also continue to find synergies related to the combination with Stone and our integration team is focused on realizing these savings by year end. The strength of the combined business will deepen our inventory portfolio and will also put us in a position to pursue accretive business development opportunities in the core areas where we currently operate."
