NEWS RELEASE
KOSMOS ENERGY ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
DALLAS, Texas, May 9, 2013 — Kosmos Energy Ltd. (“Kosmos”) (NYSE: KOS) announced today financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2013, which included net income of $20 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. For the first quarter of 2012, Kosmos reported a net loss of $38 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share.
Brian F. Maxted, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Strong production and momentum at the Jubilee field, where we are experiencing continued high levels of well deliverability and FPSO uptime, contributed significantly to our positive results for the quarter. While progressing our upcoming developments offshore Ghana during the quarter, we also enhanced the build-out of our exploration portfolio and further matured our existing assets for drilling. Most recently, we have captured prospective blocks offshore Ireland in the Porcupine Basin, which represents additional opportunity to explore for our core geologic plays in a new area along the Atlantic Margin. At the same time, we have commenced the farm-out process for our Morocco positions and are sourcing drilling rig capacity in support of a multi-year exploration campaign designed to deliver substantial new value to Kosmos.”
Oil and gas revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was $228 million versus $116 million in the same quarter of 2012, on the sale of approximately two million barrels of oil in the 2013 period and one million barrels sold in the 2012 period. The increase in sales volumes was the result of the Company’s successful production enhancement programs executed in the second half of 2012. Realized pricing was $114.54 per barrel sold in the first quarter of 2013 and $124.30 per barrel in the first quarter of 2012.
Production expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $24 million, which included certain well workover and rig equipment maintenance costs. Excluding these amounts, production expense was $6.73 per barrel sold. The first quarter 2012 production expense was $7.87 per barrel, with the per barrel reduction to the first quarter of 2013 primarily reflecting an efficiency gain associated with increased field production.
Exploration expenses in the first quarter of 2013 totaled $23 million and included costs related to the Company’s ongoing seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation related to its offshore Mauritania, Morocco, and Suriname assets, as well as various new venture exploration activities. In addition, costs related to the Sapele exploration well offshore Ghana were included in the first quarter 2013 expense. For the first quarter of 2012, exploration expenses included costs related to the Company’s 3D seismic acquisition program offshore Morocco.
General and administrative expenses were $40 million in the first quarter of 2013, consistent with the first quarter 2012 amount. Depletion and depreciation expense was $59 million, or $29.45 per barrel sold. The per barrel rate represents a 13 percent decline from the first quarter 2012 rate, primarily resulting from a significant reclassification of proved reserves from undeveloped to developed at the end of 2012.
Derivative expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $6 million, which primarily represents the unrealized change in the valuation of the Company’s oil derivative contracts during the quarter. A lower outstanding
average debt balance contributed to reduced interest expense for the first quarter of 2013 versus the similar period 2012 amount. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $44 million, with the majority of the amount resulting from the Company’s Ghana operations.
