Free cash flow came in at roughly $100m, held back by delays to Ghana receivables and the Kenya disposal instalment, as well as softer yearend revenue.
Tullow ended the year with $322m of free cash and net debt reduced to $1.35bn.
Independently audited 2P reserves were 100.4mmboe, valued at about $1.3bn.
Capital expenditure for 2025 totalled $166m, with a further $17m spent on decommissioning. Government receivables in Ghana stood at around $225m at yearend.
For FY26, Tullow forecast production of 34,000-42,000 boepd, with capex expected to rise to $200m and decommissioning to $25m. At an oil price of $65 a barrel, Tullow also said it expects to generate $150m-$180m of prefinancing cash flow.
As of 1015 GMT, Tullow shares were up 7.81% at 11.32p.
