Current report
Our expansion into international regions, including our recently announced offshore project in Honduras, may expose us to additional political, regulatory, operational and commercial risks that could adversely affect our ability to realize the benefits of our investments.
Current report
Our strategy includes pursuing exploration and development opportunities in international basins, including our recently announced offshore project in Honduras as well as our pending offshore Mexico farm-in transaction. Operations in foreign jurisdictions, including offshore Honduras and offshore Mexico, present risks that differ from those associated with our operations in the U.S. Gulf of America. These risks include potential changes and uncertainties in laws, regulations, fiscal requirements or contractual terms; delays in obtaining or maintaining governmental approvals, permits or licenses; political instability and transitions; challenges associated with operating in an underdeveloped offshore basin; limitations in transportation, processing or export infrastructure; local content requirements; and difficulties in attracting qualified service providers and personnel.
Current report
In particular, offshore Honduras remains relatively underexplored, and geological interpretations, resource estimates and commercial assumptions may ultimately differ from our current expectations. If we are unable to successfully explore, develop or monetize our interests in Honduras, or if the political, regulatory or economic environment becomes less favorable, we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of our investment and exploration efforts in this and other new international regions.
Current report
We recently closed the acquisition of certain assets in the U.S. Gulf of America. We may not be able to successfully integrate these assets or other future acquisitions or achieve anticipated benefits.
Current report
The success of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition in the U.S. Gulf of America and other pending and future acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively integrate acquired assets and interests into our existing portfolio, accurately assess reserves and production performance, manage additional operating and abandonment obligations, and manage any increased leverage or capital requirements associated with these assets. Actual results may differ materially from our expectations, and any failure to realize anticipated benefits or identify liabilities associated with acquired assets could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
The following table sets forth information with respect to our repurchase of shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2026 (in thousands, except for the share and per share amounts):
Current report
Refer to Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Share Repurchase Program” for additional information regarding our authorized share repurchase program.
Removed paragraphs (15)
Previous report
We may not consummate the pending transactions, including the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition or the Offshore Mexico Farm-In Transaction on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
Previous report
We may not consummate various pending transactions on the timeline and terms currently contemplated or at all. For example, the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, or any extension thereof, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and (ii) the absence of any injunction or other order or applicable law preventing or making illegal the consummation of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition. Neither we nor Shell can predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to the “Outside Date,” as such term is defined in the Shell Purchase Agreement, it is possible that the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition may be terminated. Although Talos Ocho Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Talos Ocho”) and RE Fund V Holdco II Infrastructure, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RE Fund” and together with Talos Ocho, the “Buyers”) have agreed with Shell to use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to certain limitations, to promptly complete the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition, these and other conditions to the completion of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition may fail to be satisfied. In addition, satisfying the conditions to and completion of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition may take longer, and could cost more, and require additional borrowings, than we currently expect. If additional borrowings are required to consummate the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition, our total debt and leverage will be greater than currently anticipated, and our availability under our bank credit facility will be reduced by a corresponding amount.
Previous report
If (i) the consummation of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition does not occur on or before the Outside Date, or (ii) prior thereto, the Company notifies the trustee that it will not pursue the consummation of the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition, the Company will be required to redeem $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.000% Notes then outstanding on a pro rata basis at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date; provided that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one special mandatory redemption.
Previous report
Additionally, the Offshore Mexico Farm-In Transaction is subject to approval by Mexico’s Secretaría de Energía and the National Anti-trust Commission of Mexico. There can be no assurance that closing conditions will be satisfied or that pending transactions, including the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition or Offshore Mexico Farm-In Transaction (collectively, the “Pending Transactions”) will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
Previous report
Failure to complete the Pending Transactions on the terms currently contemplated or at all could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Previous report
If the Pending Transactions are not completed for any reason, including as a result of failure to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals, or if certain expectations with respect to the Pending Transactions are not fully realized (due to reasons including, but not limited to, material inaccuracies in underlying assumptions regarding future reserve and production estimates that could materially affect the benefits expected from these transactions), we may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed such Pending Transactions on the terms currently contemplated, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
Previous report
we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets;
Previous report
we may experience negative reactions from our customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners;
Previous report
we may still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Pending Transactions, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisor fees;
Previous report
with respect to the Coulomb and Na Kika Acquisition, under certain circumstances, Shell may be entitled to receive the deposit (an interest-bearing amount equal to 5% of the aggregate unadjusted purchase price, with our share being $42.5 million) as liquidated damages pursuant to the Shell Purchase Agreement;
Previous report
matters relating to the Pending Transactions (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which may result in the distraction of our management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to us; and
Previous report
litigation related to any failure to complete the Pending Transactions or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations pursuant to each transaction agreement.
Previous report
If the Pending Transactions are not completed, the risks described above may materialize and they may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial position and stock price.
