FINANCIAL POSITION
As previously announced, in the fourth quarter Murphy issued $600 million of 6.000 percent senior notes due 2032 and redeemed a total $600 million of senior notes, comprised of $338 million of senior notes due 2027, $200 million of senior notes due 2028 and $62 million of senior notes due 2029.
Also in the fourth quarter, Murphy entered into a new five-year senior unsecured credit facility, with a total facility size of $1.35 billion as of December 31, 2024. This represents a nearly 70 percent increase from the previous credit facility.
Murphy had approximately $1.8 billion of liquidity on December 31, 2024, with no borrowings on the $1.35 billion senior unsecured credit facility and $424 million of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of NCI.

“We executed a series of debt transactions during the fourth quarter to extend our maturity profile by two years, and I am excited at the 6.000 percent rate we received on our new 2032 senior notes. More importantly, our bank group remained supportive of Murphy as we strive to achieve investment grade, and we established a new credit facility with nearly 70 percent more liquidity than our previous facility,” said Thomas J. Mireles, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Through our focus on delevering, we have achieved our lowest net debt in over a decade at approximately $850 million, with a strong net debt to total capital ratio of only 13 percent. This solid balance sheet positions us well to capitalize on future opportunities.”

Murphy has allocated approximately $410 million of its 2025 CAPEX to the Gulf of Mexico for operated and non-operated development drilling and field development projects.
Murphy plans to spend approximately $20 million of CAPEX in offshore Canada in 2025, with the majority designated for non-operated Hibernia development drilling.
Approximately $115 million of CAPEX has been allocated to Vietnam and other offshore operations in 2025. This includes $20 million for Lac Da Vang development drilling and $90 million designated for Lac Da Vang field development activities, with the remaining $5 million allocated to Paon field development in Côte d’Ivoire.

“We have an ambitious exploration program ahead of us over the next 18 months, with operated wells planned in the Gulf of Mexico, Vietnam and Côte d’Ivoire, in addition to an appraisal well in Vietnam. This optionality across multiple play types in key basins provides significant resource upside for our offshore business. It is an exciting time at Murphy, and exploration will remain a key differentiator and value creator for our company for years to come,” said Hambly.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Murphy. Adjusted net income excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods. Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for Net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments in the above table are shown below by area of operation and geographical location, and exclude the share attributable to noncontrolling interests.
