The factor for each series of Notes is a number that represents a fraction (expressed as a decimal rounded to 8 decimal digits) the numerator of which represents the unpaid principal amount of such series of securities and the denominator which represents the current principal amount outstanding of such series of securities (the "Factor"). The Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, will be the amount set forth in the table above multiplied by the applicable Factor, which reflects the partial amortization of the Notes.For each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase and with respect to which the applicable Holder has provided its Consent, as applicable. The Early Tender Payment includes a Consent Payment of $2.50 for each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes. Holders that validly tender their Notes and thereby deliver their Consents at or prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline (and do not validly withdraw such Notes and therefore do not validly revoke the related Consents) will be eligible to receive the Consent Payment of $2.50 per $1,000 original principal amount of Notes in respect of such Notes, even if a smaller principal amount of the 2030 Notes is accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer for the 2030 Notes due to proration.Excludes Accrued Interest, which will be paid in addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable.The Total Consideration for the 2028 Notes validly tendered will be determined by the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent (as defined herein) in the manner described in this Statement by reference to the fixed spread (the "Fixed Spread") specified above plus the yield (the "Reference Yield") based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above (the "Reference Security") as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of pages (the "Reference Page") at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date referred to herein as the "Price Determination Date," which includes the Early Tender Payment (including the Consent Payment).The Total Consideration for the 2030 Notes includes the Early Tender Payment (including the Consent Payment).The Tender Offer (as defined below) consists of the offer to purchase for cash, using funds provided by the Financing Transaction (as defined below), together with cash on hand, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 26, 2026 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Statement") (i) any and all of the outstanding 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and (ii) up to $447,317,000.00 aggregate original principal amount (the "Maximum 2030 Notes Tender Amount") of the 10.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). We may also use funds provided by the Financing Transaction or cash on hand to pay the Accrued Interest (as defined below) and related costs and expenses. We refer to this offer to purchase the Notes and the potential Increased Offer (as defined below) as the "Tender Offer."The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are subject to, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition (in relation to either of the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation or both of them). The "Financing Condition" means the completion of an offering of Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and Senior Secured Notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes" and together with the 2032 Notes, the "New Notes") by the Issuer and Borr Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a directly wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (together with the Issuer, the "Co-Issuers") (the "New Notes Offering") in aggregate principal amount equal to at least $1.6 billion, on terms satisfactory to the Issuer in its sole discretion. The New Notes are expected to be delivered to purchasers thereof on or around June 10, 2026. The Tender Offer and the Statement are not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any New Notes or to participate in any other financing.We intend consummate the New Notes Offering on terms and conditions satisfactory to us, in our sole discretion, yielding net cash proceeds sufficient to fund the Total Consideration (as defined below) for all tendered Notes accepted in the Tender Offer, including the Consent Payment for all delivered Consents accepted in the Consent Solicitation, and the fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation (the "Financing Transaction").Holders of the Notes (each a "Holder" and collectively the "Holders") who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, plus the Early Tender Payment (as defined below), including the Consent Payment (as defined below)) (together, the "Total Consideration") on June 11, 2026 (the "Early Settlement Date") if such Notes are accepted for purchase.The Total Consideration is as follows:for each $1,000 original principal amount of the 2028 Notes, an amount determined in the manner described in this Statement by reference to the Fixed Spread specified for the 2028 Notes on the front cover page of this Statement over the Reference Yield (as defined below) based on the bid side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security (as defined below) specified on the front cover page of this Statement, at the Price Determination Date (as defined below) (unless extended by the Issuer), andfor each $1,000 original principal amount of the 2030 Notes, $1,060.00.The Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, will be multiplied by the applicable Factor, which reflects the partial amortization of the Notes.Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest, multiplied by the applicable Factor ("Accrued Interest") from the last interest payment date on such purchased Notes up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date.We refer to the "Early Tender Payment" as an amount in cash equal to $50.00 for each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes an amount in cash equal to $2.50 (the "Consent Payment") for each $1,000 original principal amount of Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase in the Tender Offer. Payment of the Total Consideration for Holders who tender by the Early Tender/Consent Deadline is expected to be made on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the amount of 2030 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline exceeds the Maximum 2030 Notes Tender Amount, we intend, but are not obligated to, increase such Maximum 2030 Notes Tender Amount, which may be up to all of the outstanding 2030 Notes (the "Increased Offer"). The Company refers Holders to the Statement for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 24, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"). In order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration for your Notes, you must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) your Notes and provide Consents to the Proposed Amendments (as defined below) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Early Tender/Consent Deadline"). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2026, but not thereafter, unless such time is extended (such time, as the same may be extended, the "Withdrawal/Revocation Time"). If the aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes (as defined below) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at the Early Tender/Consent Deadline is equal to or in excess of the Maximum 2030 Notes Tender Amount, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, not accept any 2030 Notes tendered after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.In conjunction with the Tender Offer, we are soliciting from Holders consents ("Consents") to effect the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Statement) and, in the event of an Increased Offer, the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Statement) to the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture"). Subject to receipt of the relevant Initial Offer Requisite Consents (as defined in the Statement), the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments would (i) disapply substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes, (ii) remove certain rights of holders of 2028 Notes upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture), (iii) align and conform certain covenants, definitions and other terms in the Indenture with those that will be contained in the indenture that will govern the Issuer's New Notes to be issued in the Financing Transaction (the "New Notes Indenture") and (iv) with respect to the 2028 Notes only, disapply certain covenants relating to the Collateral and release all Liens in the Collateral securing the 2028 Notes. Subject to receipt of the relevant Increased Offer Requisite Consents, the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments would (i) remove substantially all of the covenants and other obligations under the Indenture that can be removed with the consent of holders of a majority of the original principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) disapply certain covenants relating to the Collateral and release all Liens in the Collateral securing the Notes. The amendments in the foregoing (ii)(A) and (B) will only be operative in the event there is an Increased Offer (as defined below). The Initial Offer Proposed Amendments and the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments are referred to collectively herein as the "Proposed Amendments." We refer to this solicitation of Consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments as the "Consent Solicitation."Holders are required to Consent to both the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments and the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments in order to tender their Notes in the Tender Offer and, if the Increased Offer occurs and the relevant Requisite Consents are obtained, the Increased Offer Proposed Amendments will be effected in lieu of the Initial Offer Proposed Amendments without any further consent from Holders.No Consent may be validly delivered, and therefore no Consent Payment shall be made with respect to Notes tendered, after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may exercise its right to redeem up to 10.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes (including additional 2030 Notes that have been issued) at a redemption price equal to 103.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. However, there can be no assurance that any 2030 Notes will be so redeemed. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption for the Notes. The Company may also exercise its right to redeem the Notes at the applicable redemption price as set out in the Indenture.Furthermore, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes or 2030 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes, the Issuer may elect to redeem all remaining Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each tendering Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) plus, to the extent not included in the payment to tendering Holders, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of such redemption. However, there can be no assurance that any Notes will be so redeemed. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption for the Notes.The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Statement. Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are included in the Company's Solicitation.Information Relating to the Tender Offer and the Consent SolicitationThe Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation is being distributed to holders beginning today.

PR Newswire (US)
HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Borr Drilling Limited (NYSE: BORR) and (Euronext Growth Oslo: BORR) ("Borr Drilling" or the "Company") today announced the pricing of $260 million in aggregate principal amount senior notes due in 2033 (the "Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company has also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $40 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the offering. The offering is expected to close on or about April 17, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum, payable semi-annually, beginning on November 1, 2026, mature on May 1, 2033, and be convertible into the Company's common shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash, at the Company's election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially equal 125.0000 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.00 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 5, 2030 if the last reported sale price of our common shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture that will govern the Notes), holders may require us to purchase the Notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes (including any Notes sold pursuant to the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes, if exercised) to repurchase our existing convertible bonds due 2028 (the "2028 Convertible Bonds"), and for general corporate purposes. The Company has agreed with certain holders of the 2028 Convertible Bonds to repurchase $195.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Bonds for $224.5 million, including accrued interest. The Company expects that holders of the 2028 Convertible Bonds who agree to have their 2028 Convertible Bonds repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the "hedged holders") may unwind all or part of their hedge positions by purchasing the Company's common shares and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common shares. The amount of the Company's common shares to be purchased by the hedged holders or in connection with such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of the Company's common shares. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common shares, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the Notes. The Company cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the Notes or the Company's common shares.The Notes sold in the offering were only offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act by means of a private offering memorandum.This press release is for information purposes only and does not constitute or form part of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase or subscribe for securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (other than distributors) unless such securities are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or an exemption from the registration requirements of that act is available.About Borr DrillingBorr Drilling Limited is an international drilling contractor incorporated in Bermuda in 2016 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since July 31, 2019 and on Euronext Growth Oslo since December 19, 2025 under the ticker "BORR".

The Company also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the offering.The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, pay interest semi-annually, mature in 2033, and be convertible into the Company's common shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash, at the Company's election.The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes (including any Notes sold pursuant to the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes, if exercised) to repurchase its existing convertible bonds due 2028 and for general corporate purposes. The Company may repurchase a portion of its existing convertible bonds due 2028 concurrently with the pricing of the Notes in the offering, in which case the Company would enter into one or more separate and individually negotiated transactions with one or more holders of the existing convertible bonds due 2028 to repurchase a portion of the existing convertible bonds due 2028 on terms to be negotiated with each holder (each, a "concurrent note repurchase transaction"). The terms of each concurrent note repurchase transaction will depend on a variety of factors. No assurance can be given as to how much, if any, of the existing convertible bonds due 2028 will be repurchased or the terms on which they will be repurchased. This press release is not an offer to repurchase the existing convertible bonds due 2028, and the offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the repurchase of any of the existing convertible bonds due 2028.In connection with any repurchase of the existing convertible bonds due 2028, the Company expects that holders of the existing convertible bonds due 2028 who agree to have their existing convertible bonds due 2028 repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the "hedged holders") may unwind all or part of their hedge positions by purchasing the Company's common shares and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common shares.

Borr Drilling Limited Announces Fourth Quarter 2025 ResultsFebruary 18, 2026 5:27 PM

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Borr Drilling Limited (NYSE: BORR) ("Borr", "Borr Drilling" or the "Company") announces unaudited results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.Highlights Fourth Quarter total operating revenues of $259.4 million, a decrease of $17.7 million or 6% compared to net income in the third quarter of 2025Fourth Quarter net loss of $1.0 million, a decrease of $28.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2025Fourth Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $105.2 million, a decrease of $30.4 million or 22% compared to the third quarter of 20252025 annual net income of $45.0 million, a decrease of $37.1 million or 45% compared to 2024 2025 annual Adjusted EBITDA of $470.1 million, a decrease of $35.3 million or 7% compared to 2024 Entered into an agreement for the acquisition of five premium jack-up rigs from Noble Corporation for a total purchase price of $360 million, which was subsequently completed in January 2026Completed offering of additional $165 million principal amount of 10.375% senior secured notes due 2030Completed equity offering of 21 million shares at a price of $4.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $84 million For the full year 2025, the Company was awarded 24 new contract commitments, representing more than 5,000 days and $649 million of Dayrate Equivalent BacklogChief Executive Officer Bruno Morand commented:"Our operational performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 was solid, with a technical utilization rate of 98.8% and an economic utilization rate of 97.8%. Fourth-quarter operational revenue totalled $259.4 million, declining sequentially due to the impact of sanctions-related contract terminations and rigs transitioning to new contracts at lower average day rates. However, Adjusted EBITDA of $105.2 million came in line with our expectations, bringing full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to $470.1 million, at the top end of our guidance range. This performance underscores the resilience of our organization, which navigated several headwinds in 2025 while delivering strong operational and financial execution.Our fleet contract visibility continues to improve as we reduce remaining open days. Recent awards and extensions increased 2026 coverage to 80% in the first half and 48% in the second half, such numbers adjusted for the recently acquired rigs. Since our last quarterly report, we secured new commitments for seven rigs and expect further coverage gains in the coming months as we progress negotiations on multiple active leads.We believe the jack-up market bottom is now behind us. We see fundamentals recovering gradually as demand increases, most notably in the Middle East where multiple tenders are progressing for long-term contracts for an estimated 13 rigs. Recent industry data shows the global jack-up rig tendering pipeline is at multi-year highs, reflecting stronger customer activity and longer-dated contracting opportunities. In Mexico, payment visibility and the operating outlook are improving, supported by financial measures implemented by the Mexican Government, Pemex announced 34% year-over-year increase in upstream capex and continued mandate to increase production. Contracted marketed premium rig utilization remains steady at approximately 90.3%. As tenders are awarded and available supply is absorbed, we expect market conditions to firm, supporting improved pricing and earnings visibility.Against this backdrop, we are pleased to have expanded our premium jackup fleet through the accretive acquisition of five premium rigs from Noble, funded by a mix of debt and equity offerings supported by strong investor demand. These rigs are highly complementary to our existing portfolio and add well-suited capacity to pursue near-term opportunities. Integration is progressing well and ahead of expectations.Looking ahead, we expect market conditions to continue improving into the second half of 2026, and we anticipate that the ongoing dynamics set the stage for improved fundamentals and earnings visibility into 2027. Our Borr Drilling platform remains differentiated through operational excellence, a customer centric approach, and a premium fleet. We expect the expanded fleet to deepen customer relationships and support long-term shareholder value."Conference CallA conference call and webcast are scheduled for 09:00 New York time (15:00 CET) on Thursday, February 19, 2026.In order to listen to the live presentation, participants may do one of the following:a) WebcastTo access the webcast, please go to the following link: https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/inc8qdusb) Conference CallPlease use the below link to register for the conference call: https://register-conf.media-server.com/register/BIce9fcdcdcdf44d4d947622b4da3afbd6Participants will then receive dial-in details on screen and via email and may choose to dial in with their unique pin or select "Call me" and provide telephone details for the system to link them automatically.Participants are encouraged to dial in 10 minutes before the start of the call.

Borr Drilling Limited Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
By PR Newswire | August 13, 2025, 4:22 PM
Borr Drilling Ltd
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Borr Drilling Limited (NYSE: BORR) ("Borr", "Borr Drilling" or the "Company") announces unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Highlights
Total operating revenues of $267.7 million, an increase of $51.1 million or 24% compared to the first quarter of 2025
Net income of $35.1 million, an increase of $52.0 million compared to the net loss in the first quarter of 2025
Adjusted EBITDA of $133.2 million, an increase of $37.1 million or 39% compared to the first quarter of 2025
YTD 2025, the company was awarded 14 new contract commitments, representing approximately 2,584 days and $318 million of potential contract revenue
Other Events
In July 2025, the Company increased its liquidity by more than $200 million through an equity offering of $102.5 million, and commitments from commercial banks including existing lenders which have the effect of increasing available amounts under revolving credit facilities and more favourable terms for of its financial covenants.
Appointment of Bruno Morand as CEO, effective September 1, 2025, with Patrick Schorn becoming Executive Chair of the Company's Board of Directors.
CEO, Patrick Schorn commented:
"Our second-quarter results were strong, with technical utilization of 99.6% and economic utilization of 97.8%. As anticipated, our activity rebounded in the second quarter, with 22 out of 24 rigs active. Revenue increased by $51.1 million this quarter, and EBITDA rose by $37.1 million to $133.2 million, up by 39% versus the first quarter of this year, underscoring the profitability of the revenue.
During the quarter, we secured important new awards, including a multi-rig contract in Asia and a new contract for the Arabia II which is expected to return to our active fleet in September. These contract awards improve our contract coverage to 84% at an average day rate of $145,000 in 2025, and 47% coverage at an average day rate of $139,000 in 2026.
In July, we took a decisive step to strengthen Borr Drilling's longer term financial position through a comprehensive financing package. This initiative, which included a $102.5 million equity raise and commitments from commercial banks to amendments to the size and covenants of our revolving credit facilities, effectively increases our liquidity by $200 million and strengthens our balance sheet. We acted proactively to secure financing while market conditions were favourable, reinforcing our ability to execute our long-term strategy-including disciplined growth and potential industry consolidation.
Looking into the third quarter, we see a comparable level of activity as the second quarter and anticipate a similar performance. As previously indicated, we are comfortable with the current Bloomberg consensus estimate of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $470 million.
We are encouraged by the Mexican government's renewed commitment to strengthening Pemex's liquidity and restated goal to achieve 1,800 mbpd in production. Our experience and track record of delivering best-in-class wells, uniquely positions Borr to capture incremental drilling activity, particularly under private investment projects that are expected to play an incremental role in the future of Mexico's oil and gas production."

Borr Drilling targets 80% to 85% 2025 fleet coverage and shifts focus to 2026 amid dividend suspension
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/borr-drilling-targets-80-to-85-2025-fleet-coverage-and-shifts-focus-to-2026-amid-dividend-suspension/ar-AA1FiJO9?ocid=BingNewsSerp
Earnings Call Insights: Borr Drilling Limited (BORR) Q1 2025
Management View
CEO Patrick Schorn opened the call by noting, "Our first quarter results were largely as expected, reflecting the impact of temporary rig suspensions and preparatory work for upcoming contracts. Total operating revenue declined by $46.5 million quarter-over-quarter, resulting in adjusted EBITDA of $96.1 million for the period." He emphasized strong operational performance despite lower activity, reporting technical utilization at 99.2% and economic utilization at 97.9%. Safety achievements were highlighted, with several rigs receiving industry and customer recognition.
Schorn announced a ramp-up in Q2 activity: "Three suspended rigs in Mexico have resumed operations, while the Vali and Arabia I have both commenced their contracts. In addition, the Thor and Ran have secured new contracts starting this quarter. As a result, our operating rig count has now increased to 22." Liquidity strengthened following the collection of $120 million in receivables from Mexico and $10 million in mobilization fees for the Vali, plus an additional $35 million received after quarter end.
The CEO stated, "In light of uncertain market conditions, the Board has decided to suspend the dividend to further reinforce the balance sheet and enhance long-term value creation." While not issuing specific adjusted EBITDA guidance, Schorn confirmed comfort with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of approximately $460 million for 2025.
CFO Magnus Vaaler reported, "The results for the first quarter were highly impacted by temporary rig suspensions and mobilization of rigs to commence contracts, which led to us only having sixteen of our 24 rigs working on average during the quarter. The total operating revenues were $216.6 million, a decrease of $46.5 million compared to the fourth quarter." Vaaler detailed lower revenues and expenses, a net loss of $16.9 million, and a free cash position at quarter-end of $170 million with total available liquidity of $320 million after factoring in undrawn credit.
CCO Bruno Morand highlighted, "Year-to-date, Borr Drilling Limited has secured nine new contract commitments, adding $221 million to our backlogs at an average rate of $141,000 per day." He also noted 2025 fleet coverage at 79% and an increase in 2026 coverage to 35%, citing active negotiations and expectations to raise coverage to the 80%-85% range in coming months.
Outlook
Management confirmed comfort with the Bloomberg consensus estimate for adjusted EBITDA of approximately $460 million for 2025, but did not provide explicit guidance. Schorn stated the commercial focus has shifted toward 2026, with increased activity and contract discussions underway in Mexico and other regions. The board’s decision to suspend the dividend was reiterated as a measure to reinforce the balance sheet amid market uncertainty.
Financial Results
Borr Drilling reported first quarter total operating revenues of $216.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $96.1 million. Net loss for the quarter was $16.9 million. The company ended the quarter with a free cash position of $170 million and total available liquidity of $320 million. Day rate revenues declined due to fewer operating days, while total operating expenses decreased to $156.8 million, driven by lower rig operating expenses and G&A costs.
The company collected $120 million in outstanding Mexican receivables and $10 million in mobilization fees, with a further $35 million received after quarter end. CapEx for Q1 was $25 million, mainly for jackup additions and maintenance, and cash distribution to shareholders totaled $4.7 million.
Q&A
Eddie Kim, Barclays: Asked about the resumption of Mexican rig operations and the likelihood of contract extensions. Schorn responded that it reflects both Mexico’s need to boost production and Borr’s strong track record: "We can generate some of the lowest cost barrels, drill very efficient wells, and have done this approximately just short of a hundred wells offshore at the moment." Regarding extensions, Schorn indicated ongoing discussions and expectation of good opportunities.
Kim followed up on the dividend suspension and market conditions. Schorn described it as a macro precaution: "We have clearly had a lot of discussions around tariffs and what that might do to global GDP. Counter that, we have seen that demand has remained actually quite strong."
Doug Becker, Capital One: Asked about contract coverage and visibility for the Ran rig. Morand and Schorn explained options are being evaluated and active customer engagement is underway, with three rigs representing the gap to 80%-85% coverage.
Fredrik Stene, Clarksons Securities: Inquired about liquidity and the potential use of the RCF. Vaaler responded, "We have received a $120 million payment from Mexico so far this year...The base case looks very, very solid. I do not foresee any reasons for drawing on the RCF as long as collections come in with the forecast that we are currently seeing."
Craig Ross, Bank of America: Sought insight on Saudi market activity and share buybacks. Morand noted Saudi activity is stable at 2019 levels, with early signs of potential recovery. Schorn said share buybacks remain an option pending cash visibility.
Fady Chammas, Triton Partners: Asked about contract termination clauses and CapEx per rig. Morand confirmed most contracts include termination for convenience clauses with payout protections, and Vaaler provided guidance of $50 million in CapEx for 2025, or about $2 million per rig.
Sentiment Analysis
Analysts raised concerns over Mexican contract extensions, payment visibility, and dividend suspension, reflecting a neutral to slightly cautious tone. Several questions probed management on liquidity and future coverage.
Management’s tone was measured and confident during prepared remarks, emphasizing operational resilience and strong liquidity. In Q&A, responses remained constructive but displayed caution regarding macro uncertainties and a focus on prudent cash management. Schorn repeatedly emphasized caution: "I think we want to make sure that we have all options open while remaining cautious for as long as the uncertainty persists."
Compared to the previous quarter, management’s tone shifted from expressing optimism about market recovery and contract coverage to a more guarded approach, particularly with the dividend suspension and focus on strengthening the balance sheet.
Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison
Guidance language changed, with the company now suspending the dividend and reinforcing the balance sheet, whereas last quarter included a cash distribution and mention of share repurchase authorization.
Strategic focus has shifted more heavily toward 2026 contract coverage and prudent liquidity management, while last quarter highlighted completing the newbuild program and achieving leading day rates.
Analysts’ line of questioning evolved from day rate trajectory and Mexico payment confidence to detailed liquidity management, dividend policy, and contract protections.
Key metrics declined, with revenues and adjusted EBITDA down quarter-over-quarter and a net loss reported versus net income previously.
Management’s confidence in contract coverage and liquidity remains, but the tone has become more cautious, emphasizing risk management and cash conservation.
Risks and Concerns
Management cited uncertain market conditions, changes in trade policy, and OPEC+ production decisions as sources of volatility. The decision to suspend the dividend was attributed to these uncertainties.
Payment visibility from customers in Mexico remains a key risk, though management reported improved collections and expects regular payments to resume.
Analysts questioned the stability of key contracts, the ability to secure extensions, and the impact of oil price fluctuations on activity levels.
Contract termination clauses were discussed, with management noting most contracts offer payout protections in case of early termination.
Final Takeaway
Borr Drilling management underscored a shift to cautious liquidity management and long-term resilience, highlighted by the suspension of the dividend amid uncertain market conditions. The company’s operating rig count has increased, backlog coverage for 2025 is nearing 80%-85%, and efforts are focused on building 2026 commitments while maintaining operational excellence. Management expressed confidence in navigating near-term volatility, reinforced by recent contract wins, robust liquidity, and a strong operational record, positioning Borr Drilling to capitalize on future market opportunities.
