In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $1.29bn and a net loss of $699.8m. At that date it held total assets of $4.70bn and shareholders' equity of $528.6m.

In its own words

Kosmos Energy is a leading deepwater exploration and production company focused on meeting the world’s growing demand for energy. We have diversified oil and gas production from assets offshore Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal, and the Gulf of America. Additionally, in the proven basins where we operate we are advancing high-quality development opportunities, which have come from our exploration success. Kosmos is listed on the NYSE and LSE and is traded under the ticker symbol KOS.

Kosmos was founded in 2003 to find oil and gas in under‑explored or overlooked parts of West Africa. We have a history of opening new hydrocarbon basins including the discovery of the Jubilee Field offshore Ghana in 2007 and the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Field in 2015 (which includes the Ahmeyim and Guembeul discoveries offshore Mauritania and Senegal in 2015 and 2016, respectively). Jubilee was one of the largest oil discoveries worldwide in 2007 and is considered one of the largest finds offshore West Africa discovered during that decade. The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim discovery was one of the largest natural gas discoveries worldwide in 2015 and is one of the largest gas discoveries ever offshore West Africa.
