Nature of Operations

W&T Offshore, Inc. (with subsidiaries referred to herein as the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas producer with substantially all of its operations offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company is active in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. The Company operates inone reportable segment.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and an interest in Monza Energy LLC (“Monza”), which is accounted for under the proportional consolidation method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Part II, Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company has combinedIncome tax payablewithAccrued liabilitiesandDeferred income taxeswith*Other liabilities.*On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company has combined lines within each category of cash flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2**—** ACQUISITION

On December 13, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire rights, titles and interest in and to certain leases, wells and personal property in the central shelf region of the Gulf of Mexico, among other assets, for $72.0 million. The transaction closed on January 16, 2024 for $77.2 million (including closing fees and other transaction costs) and was funded using cash on hand. The Company also assumed the related asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) associated with these assets.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, which requires that the total purchase price, including transaction costs, be allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The fair value measurements of the oil and natural gas properties acquired and ARO assumed were derived utilizing an income approach and based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market. These inputs represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and include, but are not limited to, estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices, estimated future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation.

The following table presents the Company’s allocation of total purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values on the date of acquisition (in thousands):

In February 2024, the Company received a final settlement statement for its September 2023 acquisition of working interest in certain oil and natural gas producing properties in the central and eastern shelf region of the Gulf of Mexico and recorded an additional $3.3 million of oil and natural gas properties.

NOTE 3**—** DEBT

The components comprising the Company’s debt are presented in the following table (in thousands):

On March 17, 2024, the term loan provided for by the credit agreement entered into by Aquasition LLC and Aquasition II LLC (the “Term Loan”) was amended to provide for (i) the deferral of $30.1 million of principal repayments during 2024; (ii) the resumption of principal repayments in the first quarter of 2025 with the option, but not obligation, to catch up on deferred amortization through excess cash flow sweep; (iii) the payment of cash interest each quarter on the remaining principal balance; (iv) the payment of an amendment fee of $0.2 million to be paid infour quarterly installments of $50,000 each, starting in the first quarter of 2024; and (v) the modification of the optional prepayment schedule as follows: redemption at 103% of par from May 2024 to May 2026, redemption at 102% of par from May 2026 up to May 2027, and 101% of par from May 2027 up to maturity in May 2028.

NOTE 4**—** FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, derivative instruments and debt.

Derivative Instruments

The following table reflects the contracted volumes and weighted average prices under the terms of the Company’s open derivative contracts as of March 31, 2024:

The Company has elected not to designate its derivative instruments contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, commodity derivatives are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with settlements of such contracts, and changes in the unrealized fair value, recorded asDerivative gain, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each period presented.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

The Company measures the fair value of its derivative instruments by applying the income approach, using models with inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The income approach converts expected future cash flows to a present value amount based on market expectations. The inputs used for the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are the exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, notional quantities, the implied volatility, the discount curve with spreads and published commodity future prices.

Although the Company has master netting arrangements with its counterparties, the amounts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are on a gross basis.

The impact of commodity derivative contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6**—** CONTINGENCIES

Appeal with the Office of Natural Resources Revenue

In 2009*,* the Company recognized allowable reductions of cash payments for royalties owed to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (the “ONRR”) for transportation of its deepwater production through subsea pipeline systems owned by the Company. In 2010*,* the ONRR audited calculations and support related to this usage fee, and ONRR notified the Company that they had disallowed approximately $4.7 million of the reductions taken. The Company disagrees with the position taken by the ONRR and filed an appeal with the ONRR. The Company was required to post a surety bond in order to appeal the Interior Board of Land Appeals decision. As of March 31, 2024, the value of the surety bond posted is $9.9 million.

The Company has continued to pursue its legal rights and, at present, the case is in front of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana where both parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment and opposition briefs. The Company has filed a Reply in support of its Motion for Summary Judgment, and the government has in turn filed its Reply brief. With briefing now completed, the Company is waiting for the district court’s ruling on the merits.

ONRR Audit of Historical Refund Claims

In 2023, the Company received notification from the ONRR regarding results of an audit performed on the Company’s historical refund claims taken on various properties for alleged royalties owed to the ONRR. The review process is ongoing, and the Company does not believe any accrual is necessary at this time.

Contingent Decommissioning Obligations

The Company may be subject to retained liabilities with respect to certain divested property interests by operation of law. Certain counterparties in past divestiture transactions or third parties in existing leases that have filed for bankruptcy protection or undergone associated reorganizations may not be able to perform required abandonment obligations. Due to operation of law, the Company may be required to assume decommissioning obligations for those interests. The Company may be held jointly and severally liable for the decommissioning of various facilities and related wells. The Company no longer owns these assets, nor are they related to current operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $2.6 million in costs related to these decommissioning obligations and reassessed the existing decommissioning obligations, recording an additional $5.3 million. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining loss contingency recorded related to the anticipated decommissioning obligations was $20.8 million.

Although it is reasonably possible that the Company could receive state or federal decommissioning orders in the future or be notified of defaulting third parties in existing leases, the Company cannot predict with certainty, if, how or when such orders or notices will be resolved or estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from such orders. However, the Company could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise the Company’s opinion regarding the outcome of certain notices or matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and the Company’s cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid. To the extent that the Company does incur costs associated with these properties in future periods, the Company intends to seek contribution from other parties that owned an interest in the facilities.

Other Claims

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various pending or threatened claims and complaints seeking damages or other remedies concerning commercial operations and other matters. In addition, claims or contingencies may arise related to matters occurring prior to the Company’s acquisition of properties or related to matters occurring subsequent to the Company’s sale of properties. In certain cases, the Company has indemnified the sellers of properties acquired, and in other cases, has indemnified the buyers of properties sold. The Company is also subject to federal and state administrative proceedings conducted in the ordinary course of business including matters

related to alleged royalty underpayments on certain federal-owned properties. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and federal or state administrative proceedings and the effect such an outcome may have, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

NOTE 7**— INVESTMENT IN MONZA**

In March 2018, the Company and other members formed and funded Monza, which jointly participates with the Company in the exploration, drilling and development of certain drilling projects (“Joint Venture Drilling Program”) in the Gulf of Mexico. The total commitments by all members, including the Company’s commitment to fund its retained interest in Monza projects held outside of Monza, was $361.4 million. The Company contributed 88.94% of its working interest in certain undeveloped drilling projects to Monza and retained 11.06% of its working interest. The Joint Venture Drilling Program is structured so that the Company initially received an aggregate of 30.0% of the revenues less expenses, through the direct ownership from the retained working interest in the Monza projects and the Company’s indirect interest through its interest in Monza, for contributing 20.0% of the estimated total well costs plus associated leases and providing access to available infrastructure at agreed-upon rates.

The members of Monza are third-party investors, the Company and an entity owned and controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The entity affiliated with the Company’s CEO invested as a minority investor on the same terms and conditions as the third-party investors.

The Company’s interest in Monza is considered to be a variable interest that is proportionally consolidated. The Company does not fully consolidate Monza because the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of Monza.

The following table presents the amounts recorded by the Company on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the consolidation of the proportional interest in Monza’s operations (in thousands):

The following table presents the amounts recorded by the Company in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the consolidation of the proportional interest in Monza’s operations(in thousands):

As required, the Company may call on Monza to provide cash to fund its portion of certain projects in advance of capital expenditure spending. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unused advances were $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which are included inAdvances from joint interest partners in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets*.*

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Monza paid a cash distribution of $10.0 million, of which $2.1 million was paid to the Company.

NOTE 8**—** STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On March 5, 2024, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock for the first quarter of 2024. The dividend of $1.5 million was paid on March 25, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2024.

On May 10, 2024, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2024. The dividend is to be paid on May 31, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 24, 2024.

NOTE 9**—** INCOME TAXES

The Company records income taxes for interim periods based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. The estimated annual effective rate is recomputed on a quarterly basis and may fluctuate due to changes in forecasted annual operating income, positive or negative changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets and changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was (10.0)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate was primarily due to the impact of nondeductible compensation, and adjustments to the valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 25.0%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate was primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and adjustments to the valuation allowance.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a valuation allowance of $24.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively, primarily related to state net operating losses and the disallowed interest expense limitation carryover. At each reporting date, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to evaluate whether its deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
