Lorenzo Parisi, CFA

Our view and recommendation: 2Q26 results were expectedly strong as the (44-20) 3493-3150

company had provided 2Q26 production highlights in an operational update last lorenzo.parisi@jpmorgan.com

month. Encouragingly, Kosmos used the excess cash generated during the quarter J.P. Morgan Securities plc

(i.e. excl. Eq. Guinea sale proceeds) to pay down gross debt ($2.7bn vs, $2.9bn in Nandini Bommakanti

1Q26). On the earnings call, management confirmed that the RBL extension was (44-20) 3493-3515

nandini.bommakanti@jpmorgan.com

expected to complete by 4Q26. Soon after, management is targeting to address the J.P. Morgan Securities plc

2028s in late-2026 via a refinancing, repayment, or a combination of both. We note

that Kosmos added ~3MMbbls of 2027 hedges during the quarter with a floor price (91-22) 6157-3133

of $67.5-70.0/bbl, leaving the company approx. ~1/3rdhedged for 2027 (or between keshav.x.maheshwari@jpmchase.com
