W&T Offshore reports Q4 adjusted EPS (6c), consensus 1c

Reports Q4 revenue $132.34M, consensus $138.42M. Tracy W. Krohn, W&T’s Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued to deliver solid results in 2023, while executing on our strategic vision focused on Free Cash Flow generation. We have reported 24 consecutive quarters of positive Free Cash Flow and generated Adjusted EBITDA of $183.2 million in 2023. In early 2023, we strengthened our balance sheet by issuing new 2026 Senior Second Lien Notes and repurchasing all of our outstanding 2023 Senior Second Lien Notes. These notes are trading at a premium of approximately 3% to par value as of February 29, 2024. Our strong balance sheet has allowed us to close on two accretive acquisitions utilizing a portion of our cash on hand, which we expect will meaningfully boost our production and reserve base. We believe these acquisitions will bolster our per share metrics, increase shareholder value and provide additional Free Cash Flow, all without using any debt or equity. We plan to continue to utilize our significant cash position and expertise in acquiring complementary GOM assets to enhance the scale of W&T. Acquisitions have been a key component of how we have grown reserves and production at W&T, and we remain well positioned to continue to enhance our portfolio through additional attractive opportunities.”
