NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

W&T Offshore, Inc. (with subsidiaries referred to herein as the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas producer with substantially all of its operations offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company is active in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. The Company operates in one reportable segment.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and an interest in Monza Energy LLC (“Monza”), which is accounted for under the proportional consolidation method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company has combined Income tax payable with Accrued liabilities and Deferred income taxes with Other liabilities. On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company has combined lines within operating cash flows and investing cash flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
