SEC filingQ2 2025 revenues fell 14% YoY to $122.4M due to lower oil prices and production, partially offset by higher natural gas prices.
In Q2 2025, total revenues decreased by $20.4 million (14.3%) to $122.4 million compared to Q2 2024. The decline was primarily driven by a $31.0 million drop in oil revenue, reflecting lower average realized prices ($63.55/Bbl vs $80.29/Bbl) and reduced volumes (1,259 MBbls vs 1,382 MBbls). Natural gas revenue increased $12.9 million due to higher prices ($3.75/Mcf vs $2.50/Mcf) and higher volumes (9,285 MMcf vs 8,769 MMcf). NGLs revenue fell $3.4 million on lower prices and volumes. Total production decreased 125 MBoe to 3,052 MBoe, with field-specific issues including low gas availability, solids production shut-in, and pipeline maintenance, partially offset by restored production at West Delta 73, Main Pass 98, and Main Pass 108 fields.
Operating expenses decreased $13.8 million to $135.2 million. Lease operating expenses rose $2.9 million to $76.9 million due to higher base workover costs and restart expenses. Gathering, transportation, and production taxes fell $3.1 million on lower volumes and processing fee changes. DD&A decreased $10.2 million to $26.4 million, driven by a lower depletion rate ($8.67/Boe vs $11.55/Boe) from a reduced depreciable base. G&A expenses dropped $3.7 million to $17.7 million, mainly from lower non-recurring legal and professional fees. Other expense net increased $12.2 million to $13.5 million due to accruals for abandonment obligations related to bankrupt counterparties. Derivative gains of $12.0 million (including $9.5 million realized) provided a partial offset, compared to a $2.4 million loss in the prior year. Net interest expense decreased $1.2 million to $9.0 million, reflecting the refinancing impact. Income tax benefit was $2.4 million (10.2% effective rate) versus $4.6 million (23.1%) in the prior year.
Oil remains the dominant revenue segment but declined to 65% of total revenue from 78% a year ago. Natural gas grew to 28% of revenue from 15%, reflecting both price and volume gains. NGLs and other revenue together accounted for the remaining 7%. The shift from oil to natural gas is driven by market price movements and field production mix.
Management expects to incur an additional $15.0 million to $23.0 million in capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025, excluding acquisitions. Liquidity as of June 30, 2025 includes $120.7 million cash and $50.0 million available under the credit facility, with an additional $83.0 million available via an at-the-market equity program. The company believes cash flows will cover liquidity needs, with flexibility to reduce capex if commodity prices decline. Recent settlement agreements with surety providers remove near-term collateral requirements, and the passage of the OBBBA is expected to favorably impact tax expense and valuation allowances.
As of June 30, 2025, W&T Offshore held cash and cash equivalents of $120.7 million, up from $109.0 million at year-end 2024. Total debt (net) decreased to $350.1 million from $393.2 million, primarily due to the refinancing transactions. The company had no borrowings outstanding under its $50.0 million revolving credit facility. Shareholders' deficit stood at $102.7 million, compared to $52.6 million at December 31, 2024, largely driven by net losses and dividends.
The company recorded $34.8 million in accrued contingent decommissioning obligations for properties no longer owned but where it may be held jointly and severally liable. This balance increased $13.7 million during the six months due to reassessment. Additionally, the company is involved in litigation with sureties demanding $254.7 million in collateral; however, a settlement with two sureties (USSIC and PIIC) waived collateral demands through December 31, 2026, subject to conditions. A judge recommended denying preliminary injunctions for the remaining sureties.

The company executed a major refinancing: it issued $350.0 million of 10.75% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2029, using proceeds to repay its $114.2 million Term Loan and $269.8 million of its 11.75% Notes, plus a legal defeasance of the remaining $5.2 million.
