RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE

Operations Update:

Production Update: During the third quarter, oil and total equivalent production exceeded guidance, driven by continued strong base business performance, the absence of storm-related downtime and contributions from acquired assets following the September 22, 2026 closing.

CPN: The Company achieved first oil in September 2026, with the well performing in line with expectations. Talos, as operator, holds a 65% W.I., Walter Oil & Gas Corp. holds a 25% W.I., and Houston Energy holds a 10% W.I.

Exploration, Development and Appraisal Update:

Monument: The first Monument development well reached target depth in June, after which the operator redeployed the rig to another asset in which Talos does not hold a working interest before returning to Monument to spud the second development well in early September. Completion operations on both Monument wells are expected to commence after the second well reaches target depth. First oil is now expected in the first quarter of 2027, with gross production expected to reach 20–30 MBoe/d. Monument is a large Wilcox oil discovery in Walker Ridge blocks 271, 272, 315, and 316 and is being developed as a subsea tie-back to the Shenandoah production facility, with committed firm gross capacity of 20 MBbl/d. There is a prospective drilling location that could extend the resource beyond the base development case. Beacon Offshore Energy LLC, as operator, holds a 41.7% W.I., Talos holds a 29.7% W.I., and Navitas Petroleum LP holds a 28.6% W.I.

Brutus Program: The Brutus development program commenced during the third quarter with operations from the platform-based rig. The development plan has been optimized to incorporate batch drilling and completions, improving execution efficiency and project returns, with first oil expected to be phased from the second quarter through the fourth quarter of 2027. The program has also expanded from four to five wells to include an additional sidetrack opportunity.

Daenerys: The Daenerys appraisal well was spud in early July and drilled to target depth in late August, meeting the Company’s appraisal objectives and further informing its understanding of reservoir and fluid properties. The results support continued appraisal activity while advancing the evaluation of development concepts ranging from a tie-back to a standalone host. The Company expects additional appraisal activity at Daenerys in 2027, including a sidetrack designed to further evaluate the discovery. The Company also expects to drill an exploration well in late 2027 or early 2028 targeting a nearby prospect acquired in the December 2025 BBG1 lease sale.

Offshore Mexico: During the third quarter, Talos announced a farm-in transaction into Block 29, a Repsol-operated pre-FID development located in the Salinas-Sureste Basin in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Upon closing, Talos will hold a 50% working interest alongside Repsol. Block 29 contains the Polok and Chinwol oil discoveries, which together are estimated to contain more than 200 MMBoe of gross recoverable resource, with a further 200 MMBoe of estimated gross resource potential across multiple on-block exploration prospects. The partners expect to progress the project toward FID in 2027.

Offshore Honduras: During the third quarter, Talos executed definitive agreements to acquire an 80% operated working interest in an offshore Honduras block spanning more than 4 million gross acres. The Company closed on a 45% working interest and assumed operatorship, with the acquisition of the remaining 35% working interest subject to approval by Honduras's Secretaría de Energía (SEN). Talos commenced a 3D seismic campaign in October, initially targeting a portion of the deepwater acreage.

Share Repurchase Program:

During the third quarter of 2026, Talos repurchased 1.4 million shares for $23.6 million. Since announcing its current return of capital framework in the second quarter of 2025, Talos has returned approximately $160 million to shareholders through share repurchases, reducing shares outstanding by approximately 8%.

The remaining share repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2026, was approximately $176 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.

Credit Facility Update:

In conjunction with the completed Gulf of America bolt-on acquisition, the Company's borrowing base increased to $850 million, with the credit facility remaining undrawn as of September 30, 2026.

OPERATIONAL & FINANCIAL GUIDANCE UPDATES

Talos has increased its full-year 2026 production guidance and now expects production to range from 68 to 70 MBo/d and 92.5 to 94.5 MBoe/d. The updated full-year 2026 guidance reflects the Gulf of America acquisition completed on September 22, 2026, the non-core shelf divestment completed on July 15, 2026 and the impact of Hurricane Isaias in early October, which is expected to reduce fourth quarter 2026 production by approximately 7 MBoe/d.

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 ongoing military operations and hostilities in Israel and the Middle East and the resulting 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 or skilled personnel; 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 and labor policies, including the imposition of increased tariffs and resulting consequences; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future reservoir performance, recoverable resources, resource potential and rates of production; cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; risks to our industry and business operations associated with legal challenges by non-governmental organizations and other groups; market factors impacting the availability of surety bonds; and the other risks discussed in “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qs, each as filed with the SEC. In addition, risks related to the pending acquisitions include, but are not limited to, our ability to obtain regulatory approval and to consummate the acquisitions; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions; availability of future project financing; whether the parties elect to proceed with a FID and our ability to reach FID and/or production on the timeline currently contemplated or at all; risks associated with reliance on third-party operators; or risks relating to operations in foreign jurisdictions due to changes in applicable laws, regulations and policies affecting our projects.

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 revisions upward or downward 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.

We may use various terms such as "estimated gross resource potential," “gross reserves,” "estimated resource," " gross recoverable resource," "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 estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, are inherently by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved or other reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines and do not constitute "reserves" within the meaning of the SEC's rules. These types of resource estimates are subject to greater uncertainties, and accordingly, are subject to a substantially greater risk of actually being realized. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in the reports we file with the SEC.

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., Net Debt to Combined 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.

USE OF PROJECTIONS

This release may contain projections, such as, but not limited to, production volumes: cash expenses, including operating expenses, G&A and interest expense; capital expenditures; P&A and decommissioning expenditures; and collateral obligations. Our independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this release. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if our assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of our future performance or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the projected information.

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.

Reconciliation of General and Administrative Expenses to Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses

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.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc.

“EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc." 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Talos Energy Inc. have 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), net income (loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc., 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 impairment 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.

Other income (expense) includes miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, it includes a $14.3 million litigation settlement accrued as an expense offset by a $6.8 million gain on the Incremental Mexico Equity Sale.

(2)

Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency and are included in “Other operating (income) expense” on our consolidated statements of operations.

(3)

The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges.

The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Talos Energy Inc. on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.
