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: "Although the second quarter presented unprecedented challenges for our industry, we took several actions in the quarter that have made us a stronger company for the remainder of this year and beyond, including opportunistically lowering our debt, significantly reducing our costs, adding to our working interest in several producing assets we currently own and deepening our inventory of high impact prospects.
"We successfully completed our Tornado IV project, which will provide additional production from the main producing interval in the near term before we turn the well into a water injection well in early 2021. We are currently on location in our Kaleidoscope and Bulleit projects with first oil expected from both late in the third quarter, establishing a strong foundation for 2021.
"In Mexico, we are making progress on our Zama project by finalizing engineering design while continuing to work with Pemex on unitization as part of the formal instructions to reach an agreement in the next six months. Separately, Netherland, Sewell and Associates completed their review of our Xaxamani discovery in Block 31, providing a "best estimate" of the gross resources in the contract area at over 100.0 MMBoe. Xaxamani is our second major discovery in offshore Mexico and highlights our capabilities to drive exploration success in basins beyond the U.S. Gulf of Mexico."
Duncan continued: "We lowered our capital program in 2020 compared to 2019 and, even with the integration of new assets, we currently expect to complete the year well inside our capital, cash operating and general and administrative expense guidance. Our teams are working tirelessly during a stressful time to keep us on track in realizing these savings. Looking ahead, we expect to exit the year with a production rate between 71.0 - 73.0 MBoe/d, remain free cash flow positive for the year and sustain one of the most competitive credit profiles amongst our peers. We remain focused on continuing to drive down our lifting cost structure while bolstering our deep project inventory and executing on ample business development opportunities to become a more diversified and resilient company."
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Corporate Activities
-- Cost Reduction Initiatives: Talos continues to realize substantial cost reductions across its cash operating, general and administrative and capital expense categories. In total, the Company expects over $200 million in cumulative savings for the full year 2020 from its original financial guidance released in February 2020, which will allow the Company to maintain a positive free cash flow profile for the year despite lower commodity prices and associated shut-ins. Additionally, compared to 2019 on a pro forma basis, Talos expects to reduce general and administrative costs approximately by $20.0 million, or approximately 25%. Cash operating expenses is expected to reduce by approximately $40.0 million, or approximately 12%. -- Debt Exchange Transaction: During the second quarter Talos eliminated $39.2 million of debt, primarily from one exchange transaction that eliminated $37.2 million of its 11.00% Second Lien Notes. The exchange transaction will eliminate future cash interest payments on the Notes of approximately $7.5 million from settlement through maturity. -- Bolt-On Acquisition: On August 5, 2020, Talos closed the value accretive acquisition of additional working interest in 16 selected producing properties from affiliates of Castex Energy 2005. The transaction was valued at PV-20 of PDP, provides strong incremental cash flow and ensures operational control over most of the assets, which the Company already held working interest in. At closing, the Company issued approximately 4.60 million common shares to the sellers, bringing the current outstanding share count to 73.0 million. Talos has entered into several gas hedging contracts accounting for the majority of the PDP volumes associated with the acquired assets through year-end 2022. -- Lease Sale 254: Results of the March 2020 lease sale were recently finalized, with Talos acquiring four Green Canyon area blocks in a joint package bid with affiliates of bp plc. The Company acquired a 25.0% working interest in several sub-salt Miocene prospects in Green Canyon blocks 319, 320, 322 and 363, comprising 23,040 gross or 5,760 net acres, for a net cost of approximately $0.9 million, or $159/acre. As of June 30, 2020, Talos holds approximately 1.4 million gross acres of leasehold in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (0.7 million net), of which approximately 50% is held by production and 50% is primary term. -- Production Shut-ins: Production deferrals for the quarter totaled approximately 1.3 MMBoe or 14.4 MBoe/d, primarily comprised from non-operated well and facilities shut-ins, Talos accelerated maintenance projects and Tropical Storm Cristobal. Additionally, the company permanently shuttered approximately 0.6 MBoe/d from legacy shallow water properties that had higher operating costs. -- Ram Powell Platform: Production at the Company's Ram Powell facility is currently shut-in for an unplanned riser repair procedure. Talos expects production at the facility to resume in September of 2020 pending the completion and certification of repairs. Prior to the shut-in, Talos's net production from Ram Powell was approximately 4.8 MBoe/d net. -- COVID-19 Response: In response to COVID-19, Talos has continued to take precautionary measures to protect the safety of its employees and contractors as well as to ensure operational continuity. Talos corporate employees are continuing to work from home until further notice regarding formal office location re-openings. The Company has instituted numerous safety procedures and health checks for offshore staff, resulting in zero facility downtime to date due to COVID-19.
Drilling and Exploration Activities - U.S. Gulf of Mexico
-- Claiborne: The Claiborne #3 development well and Claiborne #1 recompletion project were finalized in the second quarter and brought online late June, collectively increasing production rates from the field by 13.5 MBoe/d gross, 2.6 MBoe/d net. -- Tornado IV: Drilling operations encountered geological and pressure conditions in line with expectations and logged 87 feet of net pay in the B-6 Upper zone. Talos has finalized the completion of the B-6 Upper zone and expects first production by the end of the third quarter. -- Kaleidoscope: Drilling operations from the Company's Green Canyon 18 facility are ongoing with the first objective expected to be encountered early August. Talos expects to initiate completion activities soon thereafter with first production expected by the end of the third quarter of 2020. -- Bulleit: Following start-up of the Tornado IV well, the rig will mobilize to the Green Canyon 21 Bulleit well and commence completion activities. Tie-in activities to Talos's Green Canyon 18 facility are ongoing in preparation for first production, which is expected by the end of the third quarter of 2020.
Upon completion of these projects by the end of September, the Company's capital investment is expected to be significantly reduced, with the fourth quarter expected to have the lowest level of investment of 2020.
Drilling and Exploration Activities - Mexico
-- Block 7: On July 7, 2020, the Company received a notice from Mexico's Ministry of Energy ("SENER") instructing the partners of Block 7 and Petróleos Mexicanos ("Pemex") to unitize the Zama field. The formal notice establishes a firm deadline to advance the unitization process, which is required before a field development plan can be finalized and the partners can reach Final Investment Decision ("FID"). -- Block 31: Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. ("NSAI") recently completed an independent resource evaluation of the Xaxamani discovery. NSAI provided a "best estimate" of the gross resources for the asset at over 100.0 MMBoe, with approximately 95% oil. The discovery is located in very shallow waters (approximately 60 feet) and is less than two miles from shore. Talos holds a 25% participation interest in Block 31.
2020 Guidance
Talos expects to exit 2020 with a production rate between 71.0 - 73.0 MBoe/d.
For the full year 2020, the Company expects production at the low end of its previously stated production forecast range of 61.0 - 64.4 MBoe/d primarily due to greater than anticipated second quarter shut-ins across our portfolio and Ram Powell repairs impacting third-quarter production, offset by production from the recently acquired assets.
Talos expects cash operating expenses and general and administrative expenses to be in the lower-end of its previously stated forecast ranges of $275 - $300 million and $57 - $62 million, respectively, for the full year 2020. The full year expectations reflect Talos's progress in realizing operational efficiencies and more appropriately sizing project and corporate staffing for current activity levels. The Company's expectations are inclusive of incremental lease operating expenses and other costs associated with the recently closed acquisition as well as additional expenses associated with operational safety related to COVID-19.
Talos expects capital expenditures to remain in line with its forecast range of $355 - $380 million for the full year 2020.
Mid-Year 2020 Reserves
As of June 30, 2020, Talos had proved reserves of 189.5 MMBoe, with 67.0% oil and 76.0% proved developed, pro forma for the recently closed acquisition. The PV-10 of proved reserves was $2.8 billion. The reserves and associated PV-10 are fully burdened by and net of all plugging & abandonment costs associated with the properties included in the reserves report. The following table summarizes Talos's pro forma proved reserves at June 30, 2020:
Summary of Pro Forma Proved Reserves MBoe %of Total Proved Percent Oil PV-10 (1) ($MM) Proved Developed Producing 93,298 49.2% 69.6% $1,822 Proved Developed Non-Producing 50,641 26.7% 61.7% 548 Total Proved Developed 143,938 76.0% 66.8% 2,370 Proved Undeveloped 45,527 24.0% 67.4% 450 Total Proved 189,465 100.0% 67.0% $2,820
In addition to the proved reserves, Talos's pro forma probable reserves at mid-year 2020 were 79.7 MMBoe and had a PV-10 of $1.3 billion.
In accordance with guidelines established by the SEC, the Company's estimated proved reserves as of June 30, 2020 were determined to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, which requires the use of the 12-month average price for each commodity, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for the year end June 30, 2020. The West Texas Intermediate spot price and the Henry Hub spot price were utilized as the referenced price and appropriately adjusted for quality, transportation, fees, energy content and basis differentials. Therefore, the PV-10 of Talos's proved reserves at June 30, 2020 is based on an average crude oil price of $47.17 per barrel and an average natural gas price of $2.07 per MMBtu, prior to being adjusted for quality, transportation, fees, energy content and basis differentials.

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 are "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted Earnings per Share," "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges," "Free Cash Flow," "Cash-Based G&A," "Net Debt," "LTM Adjusted EBITDA" and "Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA." These disclosures 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 Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
"EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA" are 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 material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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), 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 write-down of oil and natural gas properties, loss on debt extinguishment, transaction related costs, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivatives, non-cash (gain) loss on sale of assets, non-cash write-down of other well equipment inventory and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges and as a percentage of revenue to further analyze our business, which are outlined below:
Adjusted EBITDA Margin. 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges, Adjusted EBITDA Margins and Adjusted EBITDA Margins excluding hedges for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for Boe, $/Boe and percentage data):

(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 EBITDA to Free Cash Flow
We believe the presentation of Free Cash Flow is important to provide investors with additional important information to evaluate our business. These measures are widely used by investors in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Please see "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" above.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share
"Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Earnings per Share" are 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 material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income. Net income (loss) plus accretion expense, transaction related costs, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
Adjusted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of common shares.

This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted Net Income on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled.
Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA
We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Credit Facility 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
Net Debt Total Debt principal of the Company plus the Finance Lease balance minus Cash.
Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt divided by the LTM Adjusted EBITDA.
Net Debt to Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt divided by the Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA.

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 Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio, as determined in accordance with the Company's credit agreement, equal to or lower than 3.0x. For purposes of covenant compliance, Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA, with certain adjustments, is calculated as the sum of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA for the 12-month period ended on that quarter, inclusive of revenue less direct operating expenditures of the Acquired Assets for periods prior to closing of the Transaction.
