Greta Drefke's questions to Talos Energy Inc (TALO) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Greta Drefke from Goldman Sachs sought details on the near-term targets within the $100 million cost savings plan and asked for the outlook on the pace of share repurchases, questioning if the Q2 level is a sustainable run rate.
Answer
VP & Interim CFO Gregory Babcock detailed that near-term savings are coming from capital efficiency and commercial improvements. He explained that the share repurchase program aims for up to 50% of free cash flow but advised viewing the cadence over multiple quarters, as offshore results can be lumpy. He confirmed the stock remains attractive and the program will continue.
