(2) Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Information” below for additional detail and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented: “I am pleased with the Company’s performance during the second quarter of 2019. This was the Company’s best quarter on record in terms of production, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges on a percentage basis, even with lower commodity prices and slightly higher service costs from a year ago. These strong results highlight our well-executedin-basin consolidation and the industrial logic of our business combination with Stone Energy that closed in the second quarter of 2018, as well as the benefits of our strategy of drilling in and around infrastructure we own or have access to, strong asset management and a continued focus on controlling costs.

“We executed numerous successful drilling projects in both deepwater and shallow water in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and two drilling programs in offshore Mexico. Our annual capital program was significantly front-loaded in the first half of the year with five rigs working during the second quarter. Even with this high level of activity, our U.S. Gulf of Mexico business generated meaningful free cash flow in the second quarter. We believe that reinvesting cash flows from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico business into our globally recognized Zama discovery will help accelerate the value realization of that asset, and we are extremely proud of our progress on that front. In the second half of the year, we expect to continue generating a significant amount of free cash flow from our U.S. Gulf of Mexico business that will be further enhanced by having concluded the Zama appraisal in the second quarter.

cash flows from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico business

“We further strengthened our financial profile in the second quarter with a $250 million increase to our credit facility commitments and the addition of incremental 2020 hedges at attractive average pricing. These improvements will allow the Company to maintain optionality and flexibility as we move forward, underpinned by our peer-leading balance sheet and leverage profile.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE

Drilling and Exploration Activities – U.S. Gulf of Mexico

Deepwater

• Bulleit Prospect: Drilling operations are concluding on the Green Canyon 21 Bulleit prospect. The well encountered approximately 140 feet of net true vertical depth (“TVD”) oil pay in the shallow target, theDTR-10 Sand, and approximately 110 feet of net TVD oil pay in the deeper MP Sand. Talos experienced delays and additional costs during drilling due to difficult hole conditions below theDTR-10 Sand that necessitated a side track of the original well path to a new directional plan. Additionally, the rig was moved off location to ensure safe operations during Hurricane Barry. The well will be completed in the first half of 2020 and then tied back to the Talos-owned and operated Green Canyon 18 (“GC 18”) facility located approximately 10 miles west of Bulleit. The Bulleit prospect, originally generated by EnVen Energy (“EnVen”), is now 50.0% owned and operated by Talos, with EnVen and Otto Energy owning 33.3% and 16.7%, respectively.

• Orlov Prospect: The Green Canyon 200 Orlov prospect initially encountered approximately 100 feet of net true vertical thickness (“TVT”) oil pay in the main target Aspen J sand, as well as additional pay sands in shallower zones along the same trap. The operator, Fieldwood Energy (“Fieldwood”), currently has a rig on location and will soon commence an operation tore-enter the well and drill an appraisal sidetrack to optimize the well location in relation to the discovered resources. Initial production from Orlov is expected in the first quarter of 2020 and will be tied back to the Fieldwood-operated Bullwinkle facility. Talos owns a 30% working interest in the Orlov project.

Shallow Water

• Ewing Bank 306A-2ST-2: Production was brought online via a dual completion in the deepest two of five hydrocarbon-bearing zones in the first week of May of 2019 at a production rate of approximately 1.3 MBoe/d gross, 1.0 MBoe/d net to Talos. Subsequently, the well reached a production rate of approximately 1.7 MBoe/d gross, 1.4 MBoe/d net to Talos. Talos owns a 100% working interest in the project.

• Ewing Bank 306A-10ST-2: TheA-10ST-2 was successfully drilled in the second quarter, finding approximately 95 feet of net TVD pay in the Miocene geological section that was first discovered in theA-20 ST well drilled in 2018. Production was brought online on July 24 of 2019 and reached a production rate of approximately 2.6 MBoe/d gross, 2.1 MBoe/d net to Talos. Talos owns a 100% working interest in the project.

• Grand Isle 82A-22: Drilling commenced on July 2 and will target a series of Miocene sands at approximately 14,600 feet TVD. If successful, Talos expects the well to generate an initial production rate of 2.5 – 3.5 MBoe/d gross, 2.2 – 3.1 MBoe/d net to Talos, with first production expected in the fourth quarter of 2019. Talos owns a 100% working interest in the project.

Block 7 – Zama Appraisal Program

• Completion of Appraisal Program: Talos has concluded its three-well appraisal of the Zama discovery with highly encouraging results. TheZama-3 well was drilled to test the southern extent of the reservoir. Well results included the logging of approximately 1,000 feet of gross TVD sand and 748 feet of gross TVD oil pay, with better than expectednet-to-gross ratios across the pay sections and the capture of a new record whole core (717 feet). The Zama appraisal program was completed 39 days ahead of schedule and under budget. Appraisal operations were successfully completed with zero lost-time incidents or environmental issues.

• Appraisal Data: Throughout the appraisal program, Talos collected a substantial amount of data, including approximately 1,450 feet of whole core, 59 fluid samples from the reservoir, over 200 pressure points, 25 logging runs and two extended flow tests. This data will be incorporated into an independent, third party resource estimate to be prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. by year end 2019. Talos expects updated resource guidance to fall in the upper half of its previously disclosedpre-appraisal estimated range of gross recoverable resources of 400 – 800 MMBoe.

• Progress to FID:Front-End Engineering & Design (“FEED”) work is advancing via an engagement with io Oil & Gas Consulting (a joint venture between Baker Hughes GE and McDermott International, Inc.) to optimize the recovery and economic development of the field. Talos has significantly narrowed the number of potential development concepts and the prevailing concept design will be the basis for development. Additionally, unitization discussions with Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”) are ongoing with the goal of reaching a Final Investment Decision (“FID”) in 2020.

Block 2 and Block 31 Exploration Program

In October of 2018, Talos announced a cross-assignment transaction with a subsidiary of Pan American Energy (“PAE”), pursuant to which Talos conveyed a 25% participation interest (i.e. half of its interest) in Block 2 to PAE in exchange for a 25% participation interest from PAE in Block 31, resulting in a four well program consisting of two wells on each of Blocks 2 and 31.

• Block 2: The Yaluk-1EXP, the second well on Block 2, was drilled in the second quarter of 2019 and encountered anon-commercial quantity of hydrocarbons. Net costs to Talos were approximately $8.0 million.

• Block 31: The first project on Block 31, the Xaxamani-2EXP well, spud in July and reached total depth (“TD”) in early August with encouraging results. It is the first well in the Olmeca project area, which is a shallow oil project set up by theXaxamani-1 exploratory well drilled in 2003, which logged oil pay in several intervals. PAE expects to perform a drill stem test in the Xaxamani-2EXP before moving to the Tolteca well, which has similar objectives. The project is located in very shallow waters (approximately 60 feet) and less than two miles from shore. Talos will provide more details at the conclusion of the program.

Asset Management Activities

In the second quarter of 2019, Asset Management workover and recompletion activities accounted for incremental production of 0.9 MBoe/d gross, 0.7 MBoe/d, net to Talos. Asset Management-related capital expenditures in the second quarter also included $8 million related to a recompletion campaign on two wells in the Pompano field, for which production did not start until July. The PompanoA-5 well was finalized on July 5 and is currently producing approximately 1.1 MBoe/d gross, 1.0 MBoe/d, net to Talos. The Cardona #6 subsea well was recompleted on July 17 and is producing approximately 2.6 MBoe/d gross, 1.5 MBoe/d, net to Talos. The combined production conversion cost of these two wells is $3,200/Boe/d, with the production impact beginning in the third quarter of 2019.

Liquidity and Derivatives Activities

• Borrowing Base & Liquidity: Effective July 3, Talos elected to increase commitments under its syndicated credit facility to the reaffirmed borrowing base level of $850 million, up from $600 million in the first half of 2019. After adjusting June 30 figures for the revised commitment level, pro forma liquidity, including cash, would be $608.9 million, with 39% of the facility drawn. In addition, Talos added three additional lenders to the syndicate.

• Hedging Updates: In the second quarter Talos added additional hedging of 2020 oil production of approximately 3.4 million barrels. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s weighted average swap price for 2020 is $56.80/bbl and the weighted average put and call prices for the costless collars were $55.00 and $64.23, respectively.

Subsequent Events:Production from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico was significantly impacted in the month of July due to precautionaryshut-ins of facilities and evacuations associated with Hurricane Barry. According to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s (“BSEE”) daily reports, impacts from the storm peaked on July 14 resulting in approximately 1.4 million barrels per day of oil productionshut-in, or 73% of all U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil production. Although there was no major storm related damage, the production impact to Talos spanned approximately one week and also peaked on July 14 with Talos shutting in approximately 85% of its production in the period. Talos expects the production deferral from Hurricane Barry to impact only the third quarter of 2019 financial results.

Production rates from the Boris #3 well, which significantly surpassed Talos’s initial production expectation when the well was brought online in the last week of April, have recently stabilized near the low end of the Company’spre-drill estimated range of 3.0 – 5.0 MBoe/d gross, or 2.8 – 4.6 MBoe/d net to Talos after royalties.

As a result of Hurricane Barry and stabilization of the Boris #3 production rate, Talos expects average daily production in the third quarter of 2019 to be negatively impacted by approximately 4.0 – 6.0 MBoe/d, net to Talos, relative to the Company’s expectations.

SUPPLEMENTALNON-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. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Earnings per Share”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges”, “Net Debt”, “LTM Adjusted EBITDA,” “Annualized Adjusted EBITDA,” “Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA” and “Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA.” These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable tonon-GAAP measures which may be reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA; reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin

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. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Earnings per Share”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin Excluding Hedges”, “Net Debt”, “Annualized Adjusted EBITDA” and “Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA.” These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable tonon-GAAP measures which may be reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA; reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin

“Adjusted EBITDA” is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. We use this measure as a supplemental measure because we believe it provides meaningful information to our investors. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion expense, loss on debt extinguishment, transaction related costs, the net change in the fair value of derivatives (mark to market effect, net of cash settlements and premiums related to these derivatives),non-cash (gain) loss on sale of assets,non-cash write-down of oil and natural gas properties,non-cash write-down of other well equipment inventory andnon-cash equity based compensation expense. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to 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 materialnon-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

“Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges is important to provide management and investors with information about the impact of actual commodity price changes on our business.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue, as a percentage. It is also defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total production volume, expressed in Boe, in the period, and described as dollar per Boe. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin is important to provide management and investors with information about how much we retain in Adjusted EBITDA terms as compared to the revenue we generate and how much per barrel we generate after accounting for certain operational and corporate costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges” bears the same definition and our intended utility of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, but using Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges instead of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA excl hedges per Boe(2)	$	39.15		$	35.66		$	25.58		$	40.32

(1) 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 EBITDA on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled.

(2) One Boe is equal to six Mcf of natural gas or one Bbl of oil or NGLs based on an approximate energy equivalency. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

“Adjusted Net Income” is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. We use this measure as a supplemental measure because we believe it provides meaningful information to our investors. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) plus accretion expense, loss on debt extinguishment, transaction related costs, the net change in the fair value of derivatives (mark to market effect, net of cash settlements and premiums related to these derivatives) andnon-cash equity based compensation expense. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Net Income is important to provide 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 materialnon-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

“Adjusted Earnings per Share” is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of common shares.

(1) 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 EBITDA on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled.

Reconciliation of Net Debt, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA

“Net Debt” is not a measure of Debt as determined by GAAP. We define Net Debt as the total Debt principal of the Company plus the Finance Lease balance minus Cash.

“Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as Net Debt divided by the LTM Adjusted EBITDA.

“Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as Net Debt divided by the Annualized Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is important to provide management and investors with additional important information to evaluate our business. These measures are widely used by investors and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies.

The Adjusted EBITDA information included in this communication provides additional relevant information to our investors and creditors. Talos needs to comply with a financial covenant included in its Bank Credit Facility that requires it to maintain a Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio equal to or lower than 3.0x. For purposes of covenant compliance, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, with certain adjustments, is calculated, as of June 30, 2019 and in subsequent quarters, as the sum of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA for the12-month period ended on that quarter.
