Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A. Reports Full-Year 2024 Results

Luxembourg, March 25 th , 2025 – Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A. ("Constellation" or the "Company") a market leading provider of offshore oil and gas contract drilling services, today reported results for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2024 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Fleet's uptime of 97% in 2024, 300-basis points higher than the 94% posted in 2023.
  • Total backlog as of December 31, 2024, of \$2.1 billion.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of US\$ 230.5 and the adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.9% in 2024, US\$ 45.0 million (24.3%) above the US\$ 185.5 million (33.6% margin) posted in 2023.
  • Net debt decreased by US\$ 414.7 million, or 47.4%, since December 31, 2023 to US\$ 459.8 million as of December 31, 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments increased 103% from December 31, 2023, to US\$ 182.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
  • The Levered Ratio of Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA close the year of 2024 at 2.0x, compared to 4.7x in 2023.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

  • As of December 31, 2024, the Group has made a provision for onerous contract in the total amount of US\$ (32.6) million, compared to US\$ (29.6) million a year before. The onerous contract provision is still linked to our legacy contracts. The provision was mainly triggered by the recognition of a higher depreciation projection because of the impairment reversal in 2023.
  • On December 16, 2024, the Company announced a new contract with Petrobras for the drillship Amaralina Star to operate offshore Brazil, including remote areas of frontier exploration, such as the Equatorial Margin and Pelotas Basin. The Amaralina Star will operate under this new contract for a firm period of three years, commencing in the first quarter of 2026, with an option for a contract extension of up to an additional 315 days, subject to mutual agreement. The work scope will be performed in water depths of up to 3,048m, and includes Managed Pressure Drilling ("MPD") operations and a standard package of integrated services plus an extra ROV.
  • In December 2024, the Group announced the extension of the contract with Petrobras for an additional period of up to 301 days. This extension increases the original

contract value for up to US\$ 61 million and confirms the continuity of the operations that began in 2021.

  • On January 6, 2025, Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A. ("SPC") received debit notices from Petrobras for penalties related to alleged delays in the start of charter agreements for the Sete Brasil project, specifically the Urca, Mangaratiba, and Bracuhy rigs. These rigs would be operated by SPC but were never delivered by Sete Brasil. The total amount of penalties claimed by Petrobras is USD 269.1 million, with an original payment due date of January 21, 2025. The claims are part of a broader context related to the Sete Brasil situation. Immediately after submitting the claims to SPC, Petrobras indicated its willingness to work collaboratively toward a resolution that is acceptable to all parties. On February 14, 2025, Petrobras extended the due date for the debit notices to April 30, 2025. On February 25, 2025, Petrobras formally invited the SPC and its parent company (the "Company") to enter into an out-ofcourt mediation process, with the goal of reaching a mutually acceptable resolution and avoiding litigation. Petrobras also committed to continue suspending the due dates and any collection efforts while the mediation is ongoing. The Company accepted the invitation to mediation on March 12, 2025. Based on the advice of external legal counsel and management's own assessment of the claims, SPC and the Company believe the likelihood of loss from these claims is remote. Therefore, the Company does not consider them to represent a material risk to the Company. While the formal start of the mediation process is still pending, the Company is actively taking all necessary steps to pursue a favorable resolution of the commercial dispute regarding the Sete Brasil situation.
  • On January 20, 2025, the Group incorporated to its structure the company NB Constellation B.V. established in the Netherlands.
  • On March 06,2025, the Group announced the successful listing of the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Oslo.
  • On March 19, 2025 Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A. has been declared as the winner of a recent BID with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras") for the deployment of a third-party Jackup unit for operations in Brazil, with the contract signature expected for the upcoming days. Constellation presented the Admarine 511, which is owned by its commercial partner, ADES Group. The unit shall be dedicated for a Plug and Abandonment (P&A) campaign at shallow waters in the Sergipe, Alagoas, Ceará and Potiguar basins, and will be run and operated by Constellation, which will have up to 210 days for mobilizing the rig from its current location in Bahrain, to Brazil. The imminent contract will include a reduced scope of additional integrated services and will last for a firm execution period of 1.143 days, subject to an extension option of up to 472 days, upon mutual agreement between the parties.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

2024 was a year of remarkable achievements for Constellation, particularly on the operational front. Our strong performance was the main driver behind the exceptional Adjusted EBITDA delivered, which exceeded the top end of our guidance range (US\$185–

US\$195 million) by about 18%. This figure represents a 24% increase compared to 2023, even with the Olinda Star out of our operational fleet since January 2024. After the conclusion of its contract with ONGC, and given the lack of profitable opportunities, we proceeded as foreseen in our business plan and sold the rig for green recycling.

Our fleet utilization stood at 97% as in 2023. The only contract transition during 2024 was the Alpha Star, which completed its operations with Brava Energia in mid-November 2024. The rig was then moved to Angra dos Reis for overhaul, SPS, adequacy work, and Petrobras's acceptance process. The rig resumed operations under its new contract with Petrobras in February 2025.

Overall fleet uptime improved from 94% in 2023 to 97% in 2024 (absolute uptime without downtime allowances), reflecting a consistent enhancement in operational performance throughout the year. Since Q3 2024 Constellation holds first position in the Petrobras ranking for drilling contractors, Sondópolis. Our position on Petrobras rankings reflects the quality of our operations and assets and affirms our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our work.

Beyond these operational successes, we closed the year with a US\$2.1 billion backlog, equivalent to 20 rig-years of work, providing visibility and stability going forward. To build this significant backlog, Constellation was awarded with 3 new contracts in Petrobras Tenders for Laguna Star, Amaralina Star and Tidal Action, other than successfully negotiating a new contract with Brava Energia for Lone Star and an extension of Petrobras current contract for Atlantic Star.

Another highlight was the completion of our financial recapitalization in December. We raised US\$725 million through equity and debt issuance, reducing net debt by 47.7% to US\$459.8 million as of December 31, 2024. This lowered our Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio from 4.7x in December 2023 to 2.0x in December 2024. We also ended the year with US\$182 million of liquidity, a 103% year-over-year increase which provides the flexibility needed to manage five contract transitions planned for 2025.

We are extremely proud of our 2024 financial results, which underscore Constellation's ability to consistently meet its commitments. Backed by a stronger balance sheet, robust backlog, and proven operational expertise, we are confident we have a solid foundation to deliver another strong year in 2025.

2024 RESULTS

Net operating revenues slightly increased year-over-year by 2.1%, from US\$ 551.8 million in 2023 to US\$ 563.5 million in 2024. The increase was driven by higher day-rates from newly secured contracts of Brava Star, Alpha Star, and Atlantic Star rigs, as well as improved uptime from the fleet, which more than offset the end of operation of Olinda Star's since January 14, 2024. Combined, Brava Star, Alpha Star and Atlantic Star generated US\$ 78.1 million of additional revenue in the comparison year over year, which more than offset the US\$ 68.2 million reduction of revenues linked to Olinda Star in the same period.

In 2024, contract drilling expenses (operating costs excluding depreciation) decreased by 6.0% year-over-year to US\$ 319.6 million, compared with US\$ 340.1 million in 2023. Most of the reductions of US\$ 16.2 million in maintenance costs (from US\$ 99.9 to US\$ 83.7 million), and US\$ 6.4 million in material costs (from US\$ 62.5 to US\$ 56.1 million) are linked to the exit of Olinda Star from the Fleet. Furthermore, the company recognized a COVID claim reimbursement of US\$ 3.6 million. These costs reduction was partially offset by the US\$6.4 million increase in Payroll and benefits (US\$148.0 million in 2024 vs US\$141,6million in 2023), mainly due to the higher collective agreements and STI.

General and administrative expenses increased by 14.4% year-over-year, from US\$ 30.6 million in 2023 to US\$ 35.0 million in 2024. The rise was primarily driven by the Management Incentive Plan (US\$ 7.6 million) and contingencies provision (US\$ 2.0 million), which was partially offset by a US\$ 4.9 million reversal of the commercial agent provision recorded in previous years.

Other operating income decreased by US\$ 43.3 million, or 173.1%, from an income of US\$25.0 million in 2023 to US\$ (18.3) million in 2024. This reduction was mostly driven by:

  • A US\$ 8.1 million gain from the sale of the Olinda Star in Q1 2024.
  • US\$ 54.7 million reversal of the impairment in 2023, compared to an impairment provision of US\$ (48.0) million in 2024,
  • A US\$ (26.9) million provisions of onerous contract in 2023, compared to US\$ (3.0) million net provisions in 2024,
  • Accrual of US\$ (1.0) provision of Alpha star penalty from contract delay,
  • A US\$ 23.8 million gain from Constellation's financial recapitalization, and
  • Reversal of US\$ 2.0 million of contractual penalty provision from Brava Star.

In 2024, adjusted EBITDA was US\$ 230.5 million and adjusted EBITDA margin was 40.9%, compared to US\$ 185.5 million and 33.6%, respectively, in 2023. This significant improvement is explained by the higher revenue generation, however operating one less rig in the fleet which reduced contract drilling expenses, and the one-off revenue sale of Olinda Star.

Adjusted net financial expenses decreased by 1.7% to US\$ (62.5) million in 2024, compared to US\$ (63.9) million in 2023. Despite a US\$ 5 million increase in financial income from our cash balance, financial expenses were higher in Q4 2024. During the period between the issuance and release of the bonds as part of the company's liquidity event, we were required to pay interest on both the old debt and the newly issued bonds held in escrow.

Adjusted net income in 2024 was US\$ (28.6) million, compared to a loss of US\$ (34.7) million in 2023.

CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased by 51.5%, or US\$ 76.2 million, to US\$ 224.1 million in 2024, compared to US\$ 147.9 million in 2023. The increase is mostly due to Adjusted EBITDA variance year over year and the US\$25.7 million mobilization fee received by Brava Star in Q1 2024.

Investment activities in Capex rose by US\$ (51.6) million, from US\$ (78.9) million in 2023 to US\$ (130.6) million in 2024. Highlights to:

  • Thrusters Overhauls and SPS from Gold Star and Laguna Star, and
  • Initial Alpha Star's docking expenses started in November 2024.

Cash flow used in financing activities decreased by 92.5%, or US\$ 39.4 million year over year, from US\$ (42.6) million in 2023 to US\$ (3.2) million in 2024. Most of this decrease is linked to the net proceeds resulting from Company's recapitalization as shown in item "1. GENERAL INFORMATION, m) Liquidity and financial restructuring aspects" and "11. LOANS AND FINANCINGS a)" of the Financial Statements.

After the conclusion of the Recapitalization, Constellation's only indebtedness is the US\$ 650.0 million Senior Secured Notes due 2029 or US\$ 642.5 million as of December 31, 2024 net of transaction costs, and a Cash and equivalent and Short-term investments of US\$182.5 million. As a consequence, Net debt also decreased by US\$ 420.2 million to US\$ 454.2 million as of December, 2024.

(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure prepared by us and consists of: net income. plus net financial expenses taxes and depreciation. EBITDA is not a measure defined under IFRS. should not be considered in isolation. does not represent cash flow for the periods indicated and should not be regarded as an alternative to cash flow or net income. or as an indicator of operational performance or liquidity. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning. and different companies may use different EBITDA definitions. Therefore. our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies. We use EBITDA to analyze our operational and financial performance. as well as a basis for administrative decisions. The use of EBITDA as an indicator of our profitability has limitations because it does not account for certain costs in connection with our business. such as net financial expenses. taxes. depreciation. capital expenses and other related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP measure prepared by us and consists of: net income. plus net financial expenses taxes. depreciation and some specified non cash adjustments.

(2) EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure prepared by us. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by net operating revenue for the applicable period. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by net operating revenue for the applicable period.

(3) In 2024 the Company provisioned US\$ 32.6 million and reverted the US\$ 29.6 million provisioned in 2023. The increase is linked to the recognition of a higher depreciation projection as consequence of the impairment and an increased OPEX forecasts impacted by the inflationary pressures facing our sector.

(4) Costs related to restructuring of charter legal entities, extraordinary one-off costs, and other strategic initiatives requested by the Board.

(5) Adjusted net financial expenses is a non-GAAP measure prepared by us and consist of some specified noncash adjustments such as the exclusion of the derivative effect as per note 20 of the financial statements.
