Upstream segment results

Operating activities

Tellurian produced 17.2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 9.0 Bcf for the same period of 2022. As of June 30, 2023, Tellurian’s natural gas assets included 31,117 net acres and interests in 157 producing wells.

Consolidated financial results

Tellurian generated approximately $32.0 million in revenues from natural gas sales in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, a change driven by decreased realized natural gas prices partially offset by increased production volumes. Tellurian reported a net loss of approximately $59.6 million, or $0.11 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of approximately $35.0 thousand, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period of 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, Tellurian had approximately $1.3 billion in total assets, including approximately $106.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of the Company’s peers and of prior periods.

Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain charges or expenditures. Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance and should not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP measure.

Management presents Upstream segment Adjusted EBITDA because (i) it is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s position and performance are measured relative to the position and performance of its peers and (ii) it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts.
