HOUSTON, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE:TALO) today announced its enhanced corporate strategy designed to position the Company as a leading pure-play offshore exploration and production company.
Mr. Paul Goodfellow, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, will provide additional details about the Company's strategy during a conference call scheduled today, Tuesday, June 17, 2025 at 5:30 PM Eastern Time (4:30 PM Central Time). Further details are provided below. A strategy presentation is available under "Presentations and Webcasts" on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.talosenergy.com.
Mr. Goodfellow remarked, "Upon joining the Company at the beginning of March, the team and I embarked on an extensive review of the Company's business, potential growth prospects, and anticipated market trends to identify opportunities aligned with our core strengths, unique capabilities and industry position. We anticipate a shift in the global exploration and production market, with offshore basins expected to play an increasing role in global oil production. We view this anticipated shift as a unique opportunity to increase our scale through disciplined execution and selective accretive growth opportunities that will enhance returns for our shareholders."
Mr. Goodfellow continued, "At its core, the goal of our strategy is to leverage our entrepreneurial culture, history, and strengths in order to become a leading pure-play offshore exploration and production company. While I believe we have an incredibly strong and efficient operational organization at Talos, our goal is to take a very good company and make it great through continuous improvement.
The three pillars of Talos's new strategy are:
- Improve the business every day. Talos is targeting approximately $100 million in increased annualized cash flow in 2026 by improving its existing operations through capital efficiency, margin enhancement, commercial opportunities, and general organizational improvements.
- Grow production and profitability. Talos will invest in high-margin organic projects, complemented by disciplined, accretive bolt-on acquisitions in deepwater basins, which will enhance production and profitability.
- Build a long-lived, scaled portfolio. Talos will take a strategic and measured approach in assessing opportunities within the Gulf of America and other conventional offshore basins. A scaled portfolio will provide Talos with significant production growth potential, and ultimately the ability to generate long-term consistent free cash flow.
Underpinning this overall strategy is Talos's approach to capital allocation. Talos is committed to being responsible stewards of shareholders' capital by applying a disciplined capital allocation framework, prioritizing investments in projects that generate robust returns through commodity cycles, returning up to 50% of annual free cash flow to shareholders, maintaining a strong balance sheet with a long-term leverage target of 1.0x or lower, and growing via selective accretive growth opportunities.
