2. Commentary on 2024 Results

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 (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation), 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.

(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 reversed 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.

2.2 Utilization and Uptime of Our Drilling Rigs

The most significant variables affecting the net operating revenue from our drilling rigs in operation are utilization days, dayrate, uptime. Payments under our charter and service agreements are calculated by multiplying the applicable dayrate for each drilling rig by the uptime for the period for which such payment is being calculated.

The following tables set forth the utilization days and uptime for our drilling fleet for the periods presented:

(1) Uptime is derived by dividing (i) the number of days the rigs effectively earned a contractual dayrate by (ii) utilization days. Uptime adjusts for planned downtime. such as rig upgrades and surveys.

(2) Utilization days consider the impact of scheduled maintenance. reflecting the days without revenue related to planned upgrades and surveys.

3. 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-of-court 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.

4. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management

4.1. General considerations

Details on the Group's debt restructuring plan and capital management are described in Note 1 of Constellation's 2024 Financial Statements.

Embedded derivatives FVTPL - - 26,352 26,352

Table as per note 20 of the 2024 Financial Statements

The carrying amounts of the remaining financial instruments do not significantly differ from their fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the value or price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between participants in an ordinary market on the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy gives greater weight to available market information (i.e., observable data) and less weight to information related to data without transparency (i.e., unobservable data). Additionally, it requires the entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity's own credit to measure the fair value of a liability.

IFRS 13 also establishes a 3-levels hierarchy to be used in order to measure and disclose the fair value. A categorization tool in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of "inputs" significant for its measurement. A description of the 3 hierarchical levels is as follows:

Level 1 - The "inputs" are determined based on prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must be able to trade in an active market and the price cannot be adjusted by the entity.

Level 2 - The "inputs" are other than prices as determined by Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly or indirectly. The "inputs" level includes two prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities, prices in an inactive market for identical assets or liabilities, or "inputs" that are observable or can corroborate the observation of market data by correlation or other means for substantially every part of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - The "inputs" are those unobservable from minor or no market activity. These "inputs" represent Management's best estimates as market participants could assign value or price for these assets or liabilities. Generally, the assets and liabilities are measured using Level 3 pricing models, discounted cash flow or similar methods that require significant judgments or estimates, such as the inputs considered in the impairment test of long-lived assets.

The Group measures its short-term investments and restricted cash at fair value through profit or loss. Short-term investments and restricted cash are classified as Level 1, due to the fact that they are measured using market prices for identical instruments. Loans and financing are classified as Level 2, due to the fact that they are measured using similar financial instruments. Derivatives are classified as Level 3, as the fair value is based on a pricing model.

4.2. Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to liquidity, credit and market risks. Management believes that the Group's main market risk refers to its exposure to interest rate risk, as discussed below.

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built a liquidity risk management framework for managing the Group's short and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages the liquidity risk by combining and maintaining adequate banking and capital markets facilities (Note 11) and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The Group maintains relationships with specific lenders and constantly monitors its funding needs together with such lenders. The Group manages the majority of its longterm financing on a project-by-project basis. Such financing are arranged as required to support the Group's operations and growth plans. The Group's liquidity position has been enhanced further through the financial restructuring of December 2024. The Group kept its improved liquidity position at the end of 2024, as shown on note 20 c).

The following table details the Group's liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities. The table has been prepared using on the undiscounted contractual cash inflows and outflows for the financial instruments.

After 2027 - 5,370 5,370
Total 57,178 1,227,032 1,284,210

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, thus resulting in financial losses to the Group. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure amounts of such financial instruments are those disclosed in Notes 6, 7 and 8, respectively. Petrobras is the main client, and no significant credit risk was identified.

It is the Group's practice to place its cash and cash equivalents in time deposits at financial institutions with high credit ratings or at mutual funds, which invest exclusively in high quality money market instruments. The Group limits the exposure amount to each financial institution individually aiming at minimizing its credit risk exposure.

Currency exchange rate risk

Customer contracts are structured to provide payments both in US Dollars and in local currency (mostly BRL). Revenue received in local currency is substantially used to pay for costs, goods or employees in local currency. Transactions denominated in other currencies other than US Dollar or Brazilian Real are limited, so there is no material exposure related to currency exchange rate risk in the Group.

4.3. Capital Management

The Group manages its capital structure, consisting of the relation between equity/debt mix in accordance with best market practices, as follows:

5. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this Management Report may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to Constellation's expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These statements may be identified by the use of words like "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "should," "seek," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect Constellation's current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

The forward-looking statements in this Management Report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in Constellation's records and other data available from third parties. Although Constellation believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond Constellation's control, Constellation cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections described in the forward-looking statements contained herein. Actual and future results and trends could differ materially from those set forth in such statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include:

  • (i) factors related to the offshore drilling market, including supply and demand, utilization and day rates;
  • (ii) hazards inherent in the drilling industry causing personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage, claims by third parties or customers and suspension of operations;
  • (iii) changes in laws and governmental regulations, particularly with respect to environmental or tax matters;
  • (iv) the availability of competing offshore drilling rigs;
  • (v) the performance of our rigs;
  • (vi) our ability to procure or have access to financing and comply with our loan covenants;
  • (vii) our ability to successfully employ our drilling rigs;
  • (viii) our capital expenditures, including the timing and cost of completion of capital projects; and
  • (ix) our revenues and expenses.

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D'ENTREPRISES AGREE

Report on the Audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Constellation Oil Services Holding (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, and the consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (the "Law of 23 July 2016") and with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs") as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier" (the "CSSF"). Our responsibilities under the Law of 23 July 2016 and the ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF are further described in the "Responsibilities of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are also independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International Independence Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants ("IESBA Code") as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated management report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our report of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé". However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

The consolidated management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED (Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars - US\$ '000, unless otherwise stated)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A. (the "Company", or together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") was incorporated in Luxembourg on August 30, 2011, as a "société anonyme" (i.e., public company limited by shares). The Company has its registered address at 8-10, Avenue de la Gare, L-1610 Luxembourg.

The Company's objectives are: (i) to hold investments in Luxembourg or foreign countries; (ii) to acquire any securities and rights through participation, contribution, underwriting firm purchase or option, negotiation or in any other way and namely to acquire patents and licenses, and other property, rights and interest in property as deemed necessary, and generally to hold, manage, develop, sell or dispose of the same, in whole or in part, for such consideration as deemed necessary, and in particular for shares or securities of any entity purchasing the same; (iii) to enter into, assist or participate in financial, commercial and other transactions, and to grant to any holding entity, subsidiary, or fellow subsidiary, or any other entity associated in any way with the Company, or the said holding entity, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary, in which the Company has a direct or indirect financial interest, any assistance, loans, advances or guarantees; (iv) to borrow and raise funds in any manner and to secure the repayment of any funds borrowed; and (v) to perform any operation that is directly or indirectly related to its purpose. The Company's financial year is from January 1 to December 31.

The Company holds investments in subsidiaries that own, charter and operate offshore drilling rigs for exploration and production companies, most of them operating in Brazil.

The operations for this campaign in the Roncador field, in the Campos Basin, have started on October 18, 2022. In October 2023, Petrobras has exercised its 365 days unilateral option to extend contract duration, keeping the rig under contract up to October 2025.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has a provision for onerous contract in the total amount of US\$5,704 (US\$2,722 as of December 31, 2023), related to the aforementioned contract.

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.

c) Brava Star drillship charter and service-rendering agreements

On January 6, 2021, the Group announced that the Brava Star drillship had been awarded a contract with Petrobras. The contract was signed on December 9, 2020, and had an estimated duration of 810 days (including a clause of termination for convenience after 180 days subject to a demobilization fee, which had not been exercised). The work scope is in water depths of up to 3,048m, and included a full integrated package of services plus Managed Pressure Drilling ("MPD"). The work was performed offshore Brazil from March 2021 to October 2023.

On December 13, 2022, the Group announced that the Brava Star drillship had been awarded a contract with Petrobras. This new contract was signed on December 9, 2022, and the operations started on December 19, 2023, with an execution period of 1.095 days and a mutual agreement optional period of up to 1.095 days. The work scope is in water depths of up to 2,400m and includes several integrated services.

On February 23, 2024, Petrobras and the Group signed an amendment to the contract to provide an innovative operation in shallow water depths of 280 meters for at least 100 days, pioneering in the use of the technology. The operation is expected to take place between the first and the third quarter of 2025.

On November 6, 2024, Petrobras and the Group signed the second amendment to the charter contract, to include the supply of a set of high temperature 5" BOP ram blocks (main and back-up), adding an amount of US\$ 451.820,00, to the charter agreement, paid in a lump sum basis.

d) Laguna Star offshore drilling rig charter and service-rendering agreements

On July 6, 2021, the Group announced that the Laguna Star drillship was awarded a contract with Petrobras. The contract has a 3-year estimated duration and its operation started on March 01, 2022 on the Brazilian coast, including integrated services, as well as the use of the MPD system.

On September 23, 2024, the Group announced that the Laguna Star drillship had been awarded a new contract with Petrobras. The contract has a 2.5-year estimated duration, with a 95-day priced option and a provision for a 1.026 day optional period subject to mutual agreement. Its operation is expected to start in the third quarter of 2025. Since this upcoming contract does not include Managed Pressure Drilling ("MPD") operations, the system which is currently installed in the unit will be decommissioned and reinstalled in Amaralina Star.

On March 14, 2025, Petrobras and the Group signed the third amendment to the charter and services contracts, to extend the contract period for an additional period of 17 days, at the same day rate, taking the contract term to November 02, 2025.

e) Alpha Star offshore drilling rig charter and service-rendering agreements

On June 13, 2023 the Group announced that Alpha Star offshore drilling rig has been awarded a new contract with 3R Petroleum ("3R"). The work is performing in Papa-Terra and Malombe fields, located in Campos and Espírito Santo basins in Brazil, respectively. The contract has a firm duration of 14 months. The scope of work includes drilling, completion and workover of wells in water depths of up to 1,600 meters. The contract started on September 17, 2023, immediately after the rig was released by their prior client.

On September 16, 2023, the Group announced that Alpha Star offshore drilling rig had been awarded a new contract with Petrobras for a 3-year period, which can be extended for three more years. The scope includes drilling, completion and workover activities, and will be performed in water depths up to 2,400 meters. Operations are expected to commence after the rig is released by 3R Petroleum in its current contract.

On August 20 2024, the Group entered into a short-term contract with Shell Brasil Petroleo Ltda. for a 28-day period between August 30th and September 27th. This contract was executed at the same day rates as the ongoing contract with 3R Petroleum and the 28 days contract period with Shell have been reduced from the total remaining period with 3R Petroleum (rebranded as Brava Energia as of August 30, 2024).

The scope of work included workovers for replacing up to four Pump Boosting Modules (MOBOs), in water depths of approximately 5,000 ft at Shell's BC-10 field (Campos Basin).

On October 30, 2024, the Group and 3R Petroleum signed the Early Termination of the Contract, anticipating its end date in 30 days, from December 14 to November 14, 2024. Constellation holds the right for an Early Termination Fee of US\$ 1,500 plus the remuneration for the anticipated period, which will be paid to Constellation as of April 2025.

In November 2023, Petrobras and the Group exercised their mutual option to extend the contract in 389 days, keeping the rig busy until January 2025. This amendment to the current contract included additional services and is followed by an increment in the daily rates of rig.

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.

i) Olinda Star drilling rig charter and service-rendering agreements

On January 7, 2022, the Group announced that the Olinda Star was awarded a new contract with ONGC, in India, with a duration of 502 days. The Company started its operations on May 4, 2022 and ended its operations on January 14, 2024.

On May 2, 2024, a memorandum of agreement was signed between Olinda Star Limited and Super Shining Shipping Corporation for the sale of the drilling unit Olinda Star. The agreed selling price was USD\$ 8,130 to green recycle. The transaction was completed in 2024.

j) Tidal Action third-party owned UDW unit service-rendering agreement

On September 23, 2024, the Group announced that the Company was awarded a new contract with Petrobras for the deployment of an ultra-deepwater (UDW) rig - Tidal Action, a newbuild rig constructed at the Hanwha Ocean shipyard in South Korea, to work on the Roncador Field in the Campos Basin.

Tidal Action, previously known as West Libra, represents one of the last high-specification units constructed in the previous rig-building cycle. This will be the first instance where Constellation operates a third-party owned UDW unit, demonstrating the Company's adaptability and technical prowess. The contract has a 2.5-year estimated duration, with a 95 day priced option and a provision for a 1.026-day optional period subject to mutual agreement. Its operation is expected to start in the third quarter of 2025

k) Onshore drilling rigs charter and service-rendering agreements

With the strategic objective of enhancing the Group's global competitiveness, the Company opted for a divestment process in its onshore operations, resulting in the sale of its onshore drilling rigs on January 19, 2024.

l) Going concern considerations

Global upstream investments for 2025 are predicted to reach \$605 billion, almost the same level as in 2023 and 2024. According to Rystad Energy, for the next three years the investments are expected to continue at around current levels. In parallel, deepwater and offshore shelf investments are forecast to increase by 3% this year. On the oil supply side, the first half of 2024 was marked by a deficit in the market that has sustained Brent prices at \$82 per barrel along Q1/24, decreasing to \$74 per barrel in Q4 – with expectations to increase to \$75 per barrel in Q1/25. At the same time, market fundamentals expect a floater demand to grow to 127 rig years in 2025, and 142 rig years in 2026. Management foresees 2025 to be a year of accommodation of the drilling market, with limited impact to Constellation's fleet. Deferral in E&P investments and disruption of key supply market segments are some of the reasons behind a slight reduction in short term demand.

Geopolitics continue to play a relevant role with the presidential election of Donald Trump, indicating an increase in the drilling activity offshore Gulf of Mexico, which can reconfigure the current supply and demand drivers, followed by an influx of units to the USA.

On the Commercial side, we continued to develop our contract backlog, which was at US\$2.0 billion as of December 31, 2024, from US\$1.5 billion as of December 31, 2023. Note 1 discloses several events related to charter contracts and operating services for offshore drilling rigs that corroborate the above information.

m) Liquidity and financial restructuring aspects

On December 18, 2019, the Group entered into amended and restated credit agreements as well as new credit agreements with its financial creditors and issued new senior secured and senior unsecured notes, pursuant to new indentures (the "RJ Closing").

Commencing July 6, 2021, discussions were initiated with creditors to establish a sustainable capital structure aligned with the Group's operational requirements in the prevailing economic landscape. Subsequently, on March 24, 2022, after thorough negotiations, a Plan Support Agreement and a Restructuring Term-Sheet were signed, leading to the unanimous approval of the "Plan Amendment" by the General Creditors Meeting. The RJ Court and the New York Court confirmed the Plan Amendment on March 28, 2022, and May 3, 2022, respectively.

On June 10, 2022, the Group executed Amended and Restated Credit Agreements (the "Restructuring Documents"), alongside additional arrangements with creditors, resulting in the conversion of a portion of the debt into the Company's equity. This conversion aimed to alleviate debt burdens and optimize the Group's financial position.

Under the Restructuring Documents, the outstanding debt amounting to \$1,990,128 underwent restructuring, resulting in \$826,000 of convertible debt. Additionally, \$92,600 was allocated, comprising \$62,400 in newly raised cash and \$30,200 in non-convertible debt.

The Restructuring Documents also provided that upon a future liquidity event, such as mergers or significant asset sales, whereby convertible debt will be converted into shares, and the resulting proceeds will be distributed according to the new equity structure.

On September 2, 2022, the 1st Business Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro determined the termination of the Judicial Reorganization process of Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A. and other companies of the Constellation Group, considering that all the obligations of the Judicial Reorganization Plan have been complied with.

Refinancing and recapitalization

On December 12, 2024, Constellation concluded a comprehensive recapitalization involving all of its current shareholders and debt holders (the "Recapitalization"). The Recapitalization consisted of the following key components: issuance on November 7, 2024 of Senior Secured Notes in an amount of \$650 million by Newco Holding USD 20 S.À R.L. ("NewCo", merged with and into the Company on December 12, 2024), and the issuance of equity in the amount of \$75 million to third party investors through a private placement comprised of common shares and exchangeable notes in Constellation Holdco S.A. ("Holdco") and common shares in Constellation.

As part of the Recapitalization, Constellation redeemed certain outstanding debt and common shares in Constellation in an amount of \$526.2 million and repaid indebtedness in a principal amount of \$67.0 million that became due upon consummation of the Recapitalization. The amount of US\$314.7 million of indebtedness as of September 30, 2024 was converted into common shares of Constellation and \$622.7 million principal amount of Constellation converted debt was redeemed at 95% of its face value (\$593.2 million).

After the conclusion of the Recapitalization, Constellation's only indebtedness for borrowed money that remains outstanding are the US\$ 650 million Senior Secured Notes due 2029 or \$642.5 million as of December 31, 2024 net of transaction costs.

The accounting impact of this refinancing and recapitalization can be summarized as follows:

On December 12024
New debt 650,000
Transaction costs (16,637)
Paid in cash (593,402)
Interest paid (10,677)
Discounts (30,721)
Converted to shares (314,714)
Restructuring impact on loan and financing (316,151)
On December 12, 2024
Capital increase 75,000
Converted to shares 314,714
Transaction costs (11,160)
Repurchase of shares (22,912)
Restructuring impact on equity 355,642

(1) The amount of US\$ 355,642 is: capital contribution (US\$ 75,000) plus share premium arising from debt restructuring (US\$ 293,535) minus transaction costs (US\$ 11,160) minus warrants (US\$ 1,733).

n) Corporate restructuring

On May 29, 2024, the Group entered into amended and restated credit agreements with its financial creditors, resulting in a series of transactions collectively referred to as the "Corporate Reorganization". The primary objective of the Corporate Reorganization was to simplify the Group's corporate structure. Key transactions included the sale of each of the Drilling Units to purchasing entities that are also under the control of Constellation Oil Services.

Drilling Unit Seller Purchaser
Amaralina Star Amaralina Star Ltd. Palase Management B.V.
Laguna Star Laguna Star Ltd. Positive Management B.V.
Brava Star Brava Star Ltd. Brava Drilling B.V.
Atlantic Star Star International Drilling Ltd. Alaskan & Atlantic Rigs B.V.
Alpha Star Alpha Star Equities Ltd. London Tower Management B.V.
Lone Star Lone Star Offshore Ltd. London Tower Management B.V.
Gold Star Gold Star Equities Ltd. London Tower Management B.V.

Furthermore, as part of the Corporate Reorganization, the following entities were merged into Constellation Overseas Ltd.:

  • Amaralina Star Ltd.,
  • Laguna Star Ltd.,
  • Brava Star Ltd.,
  • Star International Drilling Limited,
  • Alpha Star Equities Ltd.,
  • Lone Star Offshore Ltd.,
  • Gold Star Equities Ltd., and
  • Olinda Star Ltd.

This merger followed the aforementioned sale of the Drilling Units.

On November 20, 2024, the entity Constellation Overseas Ltd. was merged into Constellation Services Ltd. Also, during the year the following entities were liquidated: Alaskan & Atlantic Cooperatief U.A., Angra Participações B.V. ("Angra") and QGOG Star GmbH and the entities have ceased to exist. The Corporate Restructuring has not cause any impact on these consolidated financial statements.

o) Commitments

As of December 31, 2024, the Group had the following commitments which it is contractually obligated to fulfill:

  • The Group, through its subsidiary Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A., has committed to comply with certain governance and compliance policies including keeping and maintaining a robust integrity program. Failure to comply with these commitments may ultimately result in fines limited to a maximum of 20% of the monthly revenue of each services contract with Petrobras. On March 26, 2024, this commitment was cancelled based on certain assumptions, thus extinguishing any obligation that could have led to the aforementioned consequences.
  • The Group, in its service contracts, has commercial, operational, safety and environmental commitments. Non-compliance with these commitments may result in fines levied at the total estimated value of each contract. Non-compliance or irregular compliance with part of the contractual object may result in a compensatory fine of 20% of the daily rate.

As of December 31, 2024 and until the date of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements the Group complies with the aforementioned covenants.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

2.1. New and amended IFRS that are mandatorily effective for the current year

During the year, the Group has adopted a number of new and amended IFRS Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union (EU), which are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after January 1, 2024. The following amendments have been applied by the Group, but had no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

Standard or
interpretation Description Effective date
Classification of Liabilities as Current
or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS
1)
The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying
the requirements by helping companies determine whether,
in the statement of financial position, debt and other
liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be
classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled
within one year) or non-current.
January 1, 2024
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements—Non-current
Liabilities with Covenants
The amendments specify that only covenants that an entity
is required to comply with on or before the end of
the reporting period affect the entity's right to defer
settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the
January 1, 2024
reporting date (and therefore must be considered in
assessing the classification of the liability as current or non
current). Such covenants affect whether the right exists at
the end of the reporting period, even if compliance with
the covenant is assessed only after the reporting date (e.g. a
covenant based on the entity's financial position at the
reporting date that is assessed for compliance only after the
reporting date).
Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of
Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial
Instruments: Disclosures—Supplier
Finance Arrangements
The amendments add a disclosure objective to IAS 7 stating
that an entity is required to disclose information about its
supplier finance arrangements that enable users of financial
statements to assess the effects of those arrangements on
the entity's liabilities and cash flows. In addition, IFRS 7
was amended to add supplier finance arrangements as an
example within the requirements to disclose information
about an entity's exposure to
concentration of liquidity risk.
January 1, 2024
Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases—
Lease Liability in a Sale and
Leaseback
The amendments to IFRS 16 add subsequent measurement
requirements for sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy
the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale.
The amendments require the seller-lessee to determine
'lease payments' or 'revised lease payments' such that the
seller-lessee does not recognize a gain or loss that relates to
the right of use retained by the seller-lessee, after the
commencement date.
January 1, 2024

2.2. New and revised IFRS standards issued but not yet effective

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective as of December 31, 2024:

The Group's Management is currently reviewing the impacts arising from the adoption of these new or revised and amended IFRS on its consolidated financial statements and changes in profit and loss and cash flow statement presentations are expected as a result of the adoption of IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.

2.3. Brazilian Tax Reform

In December 2023, Constitutional Amendment No. 132/2023 was promulgated by the National Congress, amending the National Tax System. The text that gave rise to this amendment was based on Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 45/2019, which, in its final version, was approved by the Chamber of Deputies in the same month.

The primary objective is the simplification of the current tax system. The text establishes a ceiling to maintain a consistent tax burden on consumption, with the main effect being the unification of five taxes (ICMS, ISS, IPI, PIS, and COFINS) into charges that will be divided between two levels: i) federal (CBS: Contribution on Goods and Services and IS: Selective Tax) and ii) state (IBS: Tax on Goods and Services). Additionally, the creation of funds for the restoration of fiscal incentives and regional development, as well as the reallocation of taxes such as ITCMD and IPVA, has been proposed.

The transition period to the new tax model will occur gradually and in distinct stages until its completion. During fiscal year 2025, the Company will monitor the publications of Complementary and Ordinary Laws to adapt to the proposed new regulations and assess their impact on its operations.

2.4. Pillar two

On December 20, 2023, the Luxembourg Parliament adopted the bill of law relating to the European Directive on global minimum taxation rules ("Pillar Two") based on OECD recommendations. The impact of this tax regulation will apply in the fiscal years after December 31, 2023. The Group is currently outside the scope of Pillar Two since its consolidated revenues are less than EUR 750 million.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies have been applied consistently for all reporting periods.

3.1 Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

3.2 Basis of preparation and consolidation

Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are remeasured at fair value.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the Company and its subsidiaries (Note 5).

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated for consolidation purposes.

Continuity as a going concern

The Group's consolidated financial statements were prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. Management assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in light of the assumptions and matters disclosed in Note 1l.

The significant accounting policies are set out below:

3.3 Functional currency and foreign currencies

The financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective entity operates (i.e., the "functional currency"). The Company's functional currency and most part of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, since majority of revenues and costs, debt and capital expenditures are denominated in this currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is also the reporting/functional currency of the Group.

Additionally, the Group has determined that the Brazilian real is the functional currency of Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A. ("Serviços de Petróleo") and Serviços de Petróleo Constellation Participações S.A. ("Serviços de Petróleo Participações"), since the majority of their revenues and costs are denominated in Brazilian reais. Consequently, in preparing these consolidated financial statements, Management has translated the financial statements of these subsidiaries into U.S. dollars as follows:

  • The assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate on the respective balance sheet date;
  • Income and expenses for each statement of operations are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; for this purpose, average monthly exchange rates are used as they approximate to the exchange rates in force on the transaction dates; and
  • Shareholders' equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates.

All resulting exchange differences on currency translation adjustments are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit and loss.

3.4 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held to meet short-term cash commitments, and not for investment or any other purposes. The Group considers as cash and cash equivalents (i) cash on hand; (ii) bank deposits; and (iii) short-term investments promptly convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to a low risk of change in value.

3.5 Trade and other receivables

Trade accounts receivables are initially measured at their fair value, which generally represents the billed amounts, and subsequently at amortized cost and adjusted for allowances for expected and incurred credit losses and impairment, when due necessary.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized considering the individual assessment of receivables, the economic environment analysis and the history of losses recorded in prior years by maturity range, in an amount considered sufficient by Management to cover probable losses on future collections. The carrying amounts represent manly their fair values at the end of the reporting period.

3.6 Prepaid expenses

Refers to financial resources applied in prepaid expenses, such as insurance premiums, whose rights of benefits or services will occur in future periods.

3.7 Leases

The Group as lessor

The Group enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to its drilling units.

Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the lease terms transfer substantially all the risks and ownership benefits to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

When a contract includes both lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

3.8 Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E")

All PP&E is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, when due necessary. PP&E consists primarily of offshore drilling rigs, drillships and its related equipment.

Costs related to equipment under construction are recognized as PP&E cost, in accordance with the actual construction costs. A provision for corresponding unbilled costs from suppliers is recorded as an accrued liability.

Borrowing costs (including interest and fair value adjustments) are capitalized on equipment under construction, when applicable (Note 3.14).

Repair and maintenance costs related to periodic overhauls of the drilling rigs and drillships are capitalized, when the economic benefits associated with the item inflows to the Group and the costs can be reliable measured. These costs are depreciated over the period extending to the next periodic overhaul. Related costs are mainly comprised by shipyard costs and the costs of employees directly involved in the related project. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The carrying amounts of these assets are based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relating to capitalized costs, useful lives and residual values of the drilling rigs and drillships. These estimates, assumptions and judgments reflect both historical experience and expectations regarding future oil and gas industry conditions and operations. The Group computes depreciation using the straight-line method, considering the respective residual value of the related assets. When significant components of a PP&E item have different useful lives, those components are accounted for as separate PP&E items. Estimated useful lives of PP&E range from 1 to 35 years. At the end of each year, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of PP&E.

3.9 Impairment of long-lived assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e., cash generating units). Non-financial assets that have been impaired are reviewed for possible impairment reversal at each balance sheet date.

A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss to the extent that it eliminates the impairment loss that has been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Recoverable amounts are substantially determined based on discounted future cash flows calculations and asset price evaluation, both requiring the use of estimates (Note 4.3).

3.10 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at known or estimated amounts, plus corresponding charges and monetary and/or foreign exchange rate variations incurred, when applicable, and represent obligations to pay for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Group's business activities.

3.11 Loans and financing

Loans and financing are carried at amortized cost subject to monetary and/or foreign exchange rate variations incurred, when applicable, plus interest incurred through the end of the reporting period.

When applicable, borrowing costs incurred are measured at amortized cost and recognized in liabilities as a reduction of loans and financing and allocated to profit or loss over the agreement term.

Interest paid is presented as financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

3.12 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Contingent risks assessed as "possible losses" are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, but not recorded in a specific liability account.

Whenever the Group enters into a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, an onerous provision is recognized based on the estimated loss of the contract.

The short-term incentive paid to employees, including key management personnel, is based on the achievement of qualitative and financial performance metrics, as well as the individual objectives of employees, which are determined annually. This provision is set on a monthly basis and is remeasured at the year-end based on the best estimate of the achieved objectives as set forth in the annual budget process.

3.13 Revenue recognition

Charter and service-rendering revenues are recognized when the respective services are rendered based on the contracted day rates and the number of operating days during the period. Some of the charter and service-rendering agreements may include uptime bonus payments, depending on performance criteria set forth in the respective agreements. The Group recognizes bonus revenues in the same period that it meets the contractual criteria, renders the related services for which the specific performance criteria is met, and is preapproved by the client. The Group may also earn revenues for the preparation and equipment mobilization (drilling units) and personnel.

Revenue from services rendered is recognized when all of the following conditions are met (performance obligation satisfied over time):

The client simultaneously receives and uses the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs.

  • The Group's performance creates or enhances an asset (e.g., work in progress) that the client controls as the asset is created or enhanced.
  • The Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use for the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Mobilization revenues and costs are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period that the related charter and drilling services are rendered, which is consistent with the general pace of activity, level of services being provided and day rates being earned over the term of the related agreement.

Revenues are presented net of sales taxes levied on the provision of services, after eliminating intercompany sales, when applicable (Note 14).

3.14 Costs and expenses recognition

Costs and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, based on corresponding revenues earned. Prepaid expenses related to future periods are deferred according to their respective terms (Note 16).

3.15 Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses are mainly represented by interest on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and interest on loans and financing, respectively, and are recorded on an accrual basis of accounting (Note 18).

3.16 Current and deferred income tax

The provision for income tax is based on taxable profit for the year. The taxable profit differs from profit before taxes presented in the consolidated statement of operations because it excludes revenues or expenses taxable or deductible in subsequent periods and excludes nontaxable or non-deductible items. The provision for income tax is calculated for each individual entity of the Group, based on the rates prevailing at year-end according to the respective tax regulation in each jurisdiction.

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards, when applicable. Deferred taxes are recognized only to the extent that their recoverability is considered probable, taking into account Management's assessment regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1l).

3.17 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognized financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortized cost, depending on their classification.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Company applies the simplified approach for measuring impairment of accounts receivable.

Financial liabilities and equity

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the contribution received, net of direct issuance costs.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments informed on note 21 are initially recognized and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Any gains and losses from the remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss under "financial expenses, net".

Classification of financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected term of the financial liability, or a shorter period (where appropriate), to the amortized cost of a financial liability.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

3.18 Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method, which separates cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities and reconciles profit/ (loss) for the year to net cash flows to the change in cash and cash equivalents. Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash and cash equivalents are excluded from the cash flow statement and, when applicable, are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as "non-cash transactions".

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In applying the significant accounting policies described in Note 3, Management must use judgement and develop estimates for the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, which are not easily obtainable from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Therefore, future results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed continuously, and the effects of such reviews are recognized prospectively.

Management has concluded that the most significant judgments and estimates considered during the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are the following:

4.1. Measurement of financial instruments

The Group uses valuation techniques that include the use of inputs that are (or not) based on observable market data to estimate the fair values of certain types of financial instruments. Details of the main assumptions used to measure the fair values of financial instruments are disclosed in Note 20.a (fair value hierarchy).

Management believes that the valuation techniques applied and the assumptions used are appropriate to measure the fair values of its financial instruments.

4.2. Useful lives of PP&E

The carrying amounts of PP&E assets are based on estimates, assumptions and judgments related to capitalized costs and useful lives of the drilling units and its related equipment. These estimates, assumptions and judgments reflect both historical experience and expectations regarding future oil and gas industry conditions and operations. The Group calculates depreciation using the straight-line method.

As described in Note 3.8, at the end of each fiscal year, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of PP&E.

4.3. Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group evaluates PP&E for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Group also evaluates PP&E for impairment reversal if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The Group substantially uses either discounted future cash flow projections (value in use) or fair value less costs to sell (market approach) techniques for determining the recoverable amount of an asset for the purpose of potential impairment loss provision or reversal.

For the value in use calculation, the Group's assumptions and estimates underlying this analysis includes the following, by drilling unit (i.e., cash generating unit): day rate, occupation rate, efficiency rate, daily operating costs (Opex), residual useful life of the drilling units and estimated proceeds that may be received on disposition.

The underlying assumptions are developed based on historical data for each drilling unit, which considers rated water depth and other attributes and the assessment of its future marketability according to the current and forecasted market environment at the time of assessment. Other assumptions, such as operating costs (Opex), are estimated using historical data adjusted for known developments and future events.

The Group prepares a probable scenario for each drilling unit, which results in a discounted cash flow projection for each drilling unit based on expected operational and macroeconomic assumptions (e.g., inflation indexes, foreign exchange rates, among others) and compare such amount to its carrying amount. Discount rates are derived from the Group's internal Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("WACC").

Management's assumptions are necessarily subjective and are an inherent part of the Group's asset impairment evaluation, and the use of different assumptions could produce results that differ from those being disclosed. The Group's methodology generally involves the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of a "Level 3" fair value measurement (Note 20.a), which may include assumptions related to future dayrate revenues, costs and drilling units utilization, the long-term future performance of the Group's drilling units and future oil and gas industry conditions. Management's assumptions involves uncertainties regarding future demand for the Group's services, dayrates, expenses and other future events, and Management's expectations may not be indicative of future outcomes. Significant unanticipated changes to these assumptions could materially modify the Group's analysis in testing an asset for potential impairment loss provision or reversal.

Other events or circumstances that could affect the Group's assumptions may include, but are not limited to, a further sustained decline in oil and gas prices, cancelations of the Group's charter and service-rendering contracts or contracts of the Group's competitors, contract modifications, costs to comply with new governmental regulations, growth in the global oversupply of oil and geopolitical events, such as lifting sanctions on oil-producing nations and potential impacts arising from the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19" ) and from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Should actual market conditions in the future differ significantly from those considered in the Group's projections, the Group's impairment assessment would likely be different.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group recognized net impairment provision and net reversal of impairment, respectively, on its drilling units (Notes 10 and 17).

4.4. Provisions for claims and other obligations

Claims against the Group, including unasserted claims or assessments are recognized as a liability and/or are disclosed in these consolidated financial statements, unless the loss probability is considered to be remote. A provision for claim and other obligation is recorded when the loss is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Claims and other similar obligations will be settled when one or more future events occur. Normally, the occurrence of such events is not within the Group's control and, therefore, the assessment of these liabilities is subject to varying degrees of legal uncertainty and interpretation and requires significant estimates and judgments to be made by Management.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Group, but which will only be settled when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Group's Management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Group or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Group's legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the liability amount can be reliably estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Group's consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, then the nature of the contingent liability is disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

4.5. Provision for management incentive plan ("MIP")

As informed on note 23.b, MIP consists of three components: a retention pool, a performance unit pool, and a board pool. The retention pool is payable on the second and third anniversary of the restructuring and its provision is recorded on an accrual basis until payment. The performance unit pool and the board pool payments were contingent to the consummation of a qualifying liquidity event, and their value is contingent to the total enterprise value ("TEV") at the time of the liquidity event. With the liquidity event on the recapitalization occurred on December 12, 2024, MIP instrument has been amended and participants were given a choice to receive 100% of their allocated units immediately following the or retain 100% and receive 30%. 70% of the performance pool units vested immediately, even though its payment will occur either on a future liquidity event or on December 1, 2026. Since 70% has vested immediately the entire amount has been provisioned as of December 31, 2024. The remaining 30% is contingent on a future liquidity event, which is uncertain and has not been recognized as a liability. 100% of the amount allocated to the board pool is contingent upon a future liquidity event and will only vest then. Since this is uncertain, it has not been recognized as a liability.

4.6. Deferred tax assets

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets arising from tax losses and temporary differences between accounting and taxable profits. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Group expects to generate sufficient future taxable income based on projections and forecasts made by Management. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if applicable, reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

  • (a) The Group's assets that are pledged as security for financing agreements are disclosed in Note 11.
  • (b) On May 2, 2024, a memorandum of agreement was signed between Olinda Star Limited and Super Shining Shipping Corporation for the sale of the drilling unit Olinda Star. The agreed selling price was USD\$ 8,130 to green recycle. The transaction was completed in 2024.

Impairment

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group identified indicators that the carrying amounts of its offshore asset groups could not be fully recoverable. Such indicators included declines in commodity prices and a reduction of projected day rates.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group identified indicators that part of the impairment loss recognized in prior periods of its offshore asset groups could have decreased. Such indicators included recovery in commodity prices and projected day rates.

(a) Onshore drilling rigs

During 2023 company Management approved the sale of onshore drilling rigs and started an active program to locate a buyer. Negotiations for the sale started during 2023, and the sale negotiation was completed on January 19, 2024. Accordingly, Onshore drilling rigs were reclassified to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2023 in the amount of US\$ 3,200. The assets held for sale were measured at fair value less costs to sell, therefore an impairment loss of US\$ 14,036 was also recognized (resulting in the amount of assets held for sale of US\$ 3,200 as of December 31, 2023). The transfer was concluded on July 22, 2024.

(1) On January 06, 2023, a share purchase agreement was signed between Serviços de Petróleo Constellation Participações S.A., Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A. and Serviços de Petróleo Onshore Constellation S.A. Ltda. and President Energy Investments (Paraguay) where 100% of the shares from Domenica S.A. were sold, including the onshore rig QG-I. On February 02, 2023 the transfer was concluded, amounting to USD 1,039 and the other installment of USD 1,000 was paid on March, 2024 and April, 2024.

(b) Offshore drilling rigs and drillships

The Group estimated the recoverable amount of each one of its offshore drilling rigs and drillships based on a value in use calculation, which uses a discounted projected net cash flow analysis over the remaining economic useful life of each drilling unit, considering a 11.35% discount rate for all rigs except Atlantic that considers 10.55% (11.11% for all rigs except Atlantic and Olinda that considers 10.86% in 2023). The rates reflect 10 and 20 years T.Bonds respectively according to the rig´s lifespan. Our estimates required us to use significant unobservable inputs including assumptions related to the future performance of our contract drilling services, such as projected demand for our services, rig efficiency and day rates. As of December 31, 2024, the Group reversed an impairment for Lone in the amount of US\$ 17,745 and accrued an impairment for Atlantic, Alpha, and Gold in the amount of US\$ 65,743 with a net impact provision of US\$ 47,998 (reversal provision of US\$ 68,710 for December 31, 2023) in all offshore drilling rigs and drillships.

  1. Contingent liabilities assessed as possible losses

Based on the Group's in-house legal counsel and external legal advisors' opinions, these claims are not accrued in the consolidated financial information and consist of labor lawsuits (mainly comprised by compensation due to work related accidents, overtime and occupational diseases) in the amount of US\$14,286 as of December 31, 2024 (US\$21,001 as of December 31, 2023), tax lawsuits in the amount of US\$25,158 as of December 31, 2024 (US\$46,790 as of December 31, 2023) and civil lawsuits in the amount of US\$499 as of December 31, 2024 (US\$694 as of December 31, 2023).

The main tax lawsuits assessed as possible losses are as follows:

i. In September 2010, Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A. ("Serviços de Petróleo"), one of our subsidiaries, received a notice of violation issued by the tax authorities for the nonpayment of services tax (Imposto sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza – ISS) in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Serviços de Petróleo argues that the operations were carried out in other municipalities and that the taxes were collected under their respective tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated amount involved is US\$7,926 (US\$9,394 as of December 31, 2023).

In 2015, Serviços de Petróleo received three notices of violation from the Brazilian Revenue Service concerning PIS and COFINS collected in 2010 and 2011. Additionally, in 2020 and 2021 the Brazilian Revenue Service issued two other notices of violation, concerning PIS and COFINS collected in 2016 and 2017. And recently, in January 2025, another notice of violation was issued, relating to PIS and COFINS collected in 2020. The Brazilian Revenue Service initiated tax administrative proceedings, demanding that Serviços de Petróleo makes tax payments due to alleged use of improper tax credits to reduce its PIS and COFINS obligations. In each of the four administrative proceedings, Serviços de Petróleo filed an appeal to contest the Brazilian Revenue Service's tax assessment. However, on October 17, 2024, the Brazilian Revenue Service partially recognized our claims related to the 2015 notices and reduced the value of the tax assessment by approximately 70% of the original value imposed. This decision is still subject to appeal and to review. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated value involved for the 2015, 2020, 2021 and 2025 notices of violation were US\$4,314 (US\$22,052 as of December 31, 2023), US\$3,010 (US\$4,150 as of December 31, 2023), and US\$3,546 (US\$4,218 as of December 31, 2023), US\$ 657 (US\$ 3,024 as of December 31, 2023), respectively.

ii. In November 2018, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc. and Transocean Brasil Ltda. (together as "Transocean") filed a claim against Serviços de Petróleo and Brava Star, accusing both entities of infringing its dual-activity drilling technology patent. In January 2020, Transocean filed a compensation claim against Serviços de Petróleo and Brava Star regarding the patent infringement alleged in its 2018 claim.

On June 4, 2020, we filed a motion requesting the suspension of the proceeding until a judgment was reached in the nullity action proposed by us against Transocean's patent. On September 11, 2020, the judge granted the suspension. Transocean tried to reverse the decision, but the appellate court maintained the suspension until a judgment was reached in the nullity action. On December 13, 2023, the appellate court rejected Transocean's request. On February 7, 2024, Transocean filed a special appeal. On September 10, 2024, a preliminary injunction was granted requiring Constellation to pay royalties at a rate of five percent of the revenue obtained from the operation of the Brava Star rig, to be deposited with the court, thereby ensuring future judicial enforcement. We filed an appeal against this decision and on December 19, 2024, an injunction was granted by the appellate court to suspend the determination of royalties' payment until the final judgment of the appeal by the appellate court, which is still awaited. In parallel, on November 22, 2024, the Superior Court of Justice rejected Transocean's special appeal. Transocean appealed, seeking a collegial decision in the Superior Court of Justice. We presented our reply to Transocean's appeal by on February 21, 2025.

  1. Tax, labor and social security matters

The Group enters into transactions and operations that may be interpreted by third parties subjectively and/or contrary to its position. Nevertheless, the Group's actions are supported by its in-house legal counsel and external legal advisors' opinion.

  1. Sete Brasil Claims

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 25, 2025, Petrobras formally invited the SPC and its parent company (the "Company") to enter into an out-of-court mediation process, with the goal of reaching a mutually acceptable resolution and avoiding litigation. Petrobras informed that the penalties will remain suspended 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.

  1. Other matters

Petrobras withholding taxes

In July 2014, we received letters from Petrobras informing us that the Brazilian Revenue Service had issued notices of violation against Petrobras regarding the absence of withholding income tax collection on charter agreement remittances for the Atlantic-Star and Alaskan Star drilling rigs in 2008 and 2009. Since our last response to Petrobras in 2014, we have not received any correspondence from Petrobras on this matter. In Petrobras' publicly available disclosures, Petrobras discloses it paid these withholding taxes under a special payment program launched in 2018 and subsequently withdrew from discussions regarding the proceedings arising from tax assessments. Petrobras has informed that the amount involved related to the work performed by the Group amounts to US\$ 68 million – translated at historical rates as of June 30, 2014. Given that five years have passed by since Petrobras made the payment of the withholding taxes and Petrobras has not further contacted us, our management believes that there will be no future claims related to those notices of violations.

13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On June 10, 2022, the Group entered into Amended and Restated Credit Agreements with ALBs Creditors and Bradesco, as well as New 2026 First Lien Notes, New 2050 Second Lien Notes, New Unsecured Notes and New Priority Lien Notes, pursuant to new indentures, and held General Shareholders Meeting to approve the conversion of part of the debt held by such creditors into the share capital of the Company, with the dilution of original shareholders (the "Restructuring Documents"). Under the Restructuring Documents, the creditors agreed to a haircut on the US\$1,990,128 outstanding debt, resulting in to \$826,000 of convertible debt, with an additional \$92,600 comprised of \$62,400 in new funds raised through the restructuring and \$30,200 in non-convertible debt, for a total debt of 918,600.

The debt-to-equity conversion resulted in a new shareholder composition, as indicated in the table above. The ALB lenders' group consists of international banks that participated in the second amended and restated senior syndicated credit facility agreements dated December 18, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Amaralina Star and Laguna Star as borrowers and by and among Brava Star as borrower. Part of the ALB Lenders' 26% equity stake was issued through warrants, which, prior to their exercise, will not represent Company's shares. Therefore, until such warrants are exercised, the Company's shareholders are limited to the Incumbent Shareholders and holders of former 2024 Participating Notes. The new shareholding composition resulted in a new Board of Directors, effective on the restructuring Closing Date. The Restructuring Documents also contemplated a future liquidity event, consisting of a sale of a majority of the Company's equity interest (or other similar transactions described in the restructuring documents). In this event, the Convertible Debt would be converted into equity, and the proceeds from this liquidity event would be distributed according to the new equity payment waterfall.

On December 12, 2024, the Group closed the final stage of its comprehensive recapitalization involving all of its current shareholders and debt holders comprising, among others, (i) an offering of US\$650,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2029 by NewCo Holding USD 20 S.à r.l. (the "NewCo") and (ii) Constellation entering into a Framework and Subscription Agreement with certain equity investors, whereby such equity investors agreed to (x) subscribe for and purchase common shares in Constellation Holdco S.A. ("HoldCo") and to purchase from HoldCo certain subordinated notes exchangeable into ordinary shares of Constellation, for an aggregate purchase price of US\$75.0 million and (y) cause NewCo to merge with and into Constellation, with Constellation surviving that merger, such merger constituting a Liquidity Event in accordance with the terms of Constellation's existing financings. The Liquidity Event was approved by extraordinary shareholders' meeting.

As part of the Recapitalization, Constellation redeemed certain outstanding debt and common shares in Constellation in an amount of \$526,200 and repaid indebtedness in a principal amount of \$67,000 that became due upon consummation of the Recapitalization. \$ 314,700 of indebtedness as of September 30, 2024 was converted into common shares of Constellation and \$622,700 principal amount of Constellation converted debt was redeemed at 95% of its face value (\$593,200).Considering all the transactions of the Recapitalization, the total number of shares in Constellation is 1,519,918,308. Please see further details on note 1m.

Out of the US\$285.2 million total outstanding amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026, US\$243.8 million either directly or indirectly hold equity of Constellation following the Recapitalization. The total number of shares of Constellation allocated to such rolling holders of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026, directly or indirectly, is approximately 614,428,946 shares.

a) Share capital

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's share capital amounted to US\$ 4,933, comprised of 180,000,000 classes A share each with a nominal value of one cent (USD 0.01) and 313,333,333 new class B-1 shares, each with a nominal value of one cents (USD 0.01).

The Company has received in June 2022, as part of the restructuring, an advance for future capital increase in the total amount of US\$ 1,733, representing 173,333,333 of Class B-2 Warrants, convertible at any time into 173,333,333 of shares. All of these Class B-2 Warrants were converted into shares prior to the liquidity event.

On December 12, 2024 there has been a capital increase and capital contribution of US\$ 10,266 as a result of the liquidity event. As of December 31, 2024, following the liquidity event, the Company's share capital amounts to US\$15,199, comprised by 1,519,918,308 ordinary shares, of USD 0.01 per share and with no par value.

b) Legal reserve

In accordance with Luxembourg Corporate Law, the Company must allocate 5% of its annual profit of its stand-alone financial information, after deducting of any losses brought forward from previous years, to the minimum legal reserve.

The aforementioned requirement will only cease when the legal reserve reaches an amount equivalent to 10% of the Company's issued share capital. Additionally, this reserve may not be distributed.

c) Other Comprehensive Items (OCI)

Foreign currency translation adjustments reserve

The foreign currency translation adjustments reserve is used to record exchange adjustments arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial information.

d) Share Premium

Share premium represents the difference between the nominal value of the Company's share versus the total amount that was received for the issued share. As of December 31, 2024 the Share Premium is US\$ 1,915,006 (US\$ 1,567,897 on December 31, 2023).

e) Earnings per share

Basic and diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the year, all from continuing operations, attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the Company's weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Details on the Group's debt restructuring plan and capital management are described in Note 1.

Trade and other payables Amortized cost 51,901 51,901 57,178 57,178
Embedded derivatives FVTPL - - 26,352 26,352

The carrying amounts of the remaining financial instruments do not significantly differ from their fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the value or price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between participants in an ordinary market on the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy gives greater weight to available market information (i.e., observable data) and less weight to information related to data without transparency (i.e., unobservable data). Additionally, it requires the entity to consider all aspects of non-performance risk, including the entity's own credit to measure the fair value of a liability.

IFRS 13 also establishes a 3-levels hierarchy to be used in order to measure and disclose the fair value. A categorization tool in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of "inputs" significant for its measurement. A description of the 3 hierarchical levels is as follows:

Level 1 - The "inputs" are determined based on prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must be able to trade in an active market and the price cannot be adjusted by the entity.

Level 2 - The "inputs" are other than prices as determined by Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly or indirectly. The "inputs" level includes two prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities, prices in an inactive market for identical assets or liabilities, or "inputs" that are observable or can corroborate the observation of market data by correlation or other means for substantially every part of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - The "inputs" are those unobservable from minor or no market activity. These "inputs" represent Management's best estimates as market participants could assign value or price for these assets or liabilities. Generally, the assets and liabilities are measured using Level 3 pricing models, discounted cash flow or similar methods that require significant judgments or estimates, such as the inputs considered in the impairment test of long-lived assets.

The Group measures its short-term investments and restricted cash at fair value through profit or loss. Short-term investments and restricted cash are classified as Level 1, due to the fact that they are measured using market prices for identical instruments. Loans and financing are classified as Level 2, due to the fact that they are measured using similar financial instruments. Derivatives are classified as Level 3, as the fair value is based on a pricing model.

b) Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to liquidity, credit and market risks. Management believes that the Group's main market risk refers to its exposure to interest rate risk, as discussed below.

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built a liquidity risk management framework for managing the Group's short and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages the liquidity risk by combining and maintaining adequate banking and capital markets facilities (Note 11) and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The Group maintains relationships with specific lenders and constantly monitors its funding needs together with such lenders. The Group manages the majority of its long-term financing on a project-by-project basis. Such financing are arranged as required to support the Group's operations and growth plans. The Group's liquidity position has been enhanced further through the refinancing and recapitalization of December 2024. The Group kept its improved liquidity position at the end of 2024, as shown on note 20 c).

The following table details the Group's liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities. The table has been prepared using on the undiscounted contractual cash inflows and outflows for the financial instruments.

After 2027 - 5,370 5,370
Total 57,178 1,227,032 1,284,210

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, thus resulting in financial losses to the Group. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure amounts of such financial instruments are those disclosed in Notes 6, 7 and 8, respectively. Petrobras is the main client, and no significant credit risk was identified.

It is the Group's practice to place its cash and cash equivalents in time deposits at financial institutions with high credit ratings or at mutual funds, which invest exclusively in high quality money market instruments. The Group limits the exposure amount to each financial institution individually aiming at minimizing its credit risk exposure.

Currency exchange rate risk

Customer contracts are structured to provide payments both in US Dollars and in local currency (mostly BRL). Revenue received in local currency is substantially used to pay for costs, goods or employees in local currency. Transactions denominated in other currencies other than US Dollar or Brazilian Real are limited, so there is no material exposure related to currency exchange rate risk in the Group.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting period and considers the effects of an increase or decrease of outstanding loans and financing further to the effects of either an increase or a decrease of 2% in the interest curve (LIBOR) at the balance sheet date. For variable rate liabilities (US\$ LIBOR plus spread), the analysis is prepared assuming that the liability amount outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the entire period. A 2% increase or decrease in US\$ LIBOR is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents Management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

(c) Loans and financing net of cash transactions.

(d) Includes all shareholders' equity accounts.

21. DERIVATIVES

The derivative liability of US\$ 26,4 million as of December 31, 2023 was related to 1,200 Class D warrants issued by the Company and distributed to some Shareholders and Lenders. These warrants could only be exercisable in a liquidity event when the total enterprise value is above a specific threshold, giving them 12% of any value in excess of this threshold. This derivative was measured at fair value, and the related expense and liability was estimated using a Black & Scholes valuation modelling.

In connection with the liquidity event of December 12, 2024 these warrants expired without reaching the total enterprise value threshold, due to this fact, the amount of US\$ 26,352 previously provided for was fully derecognized in the P&L in 2024.

A new instrument of 1,200 Class D warrants with the exact same terms for a new future liquidity event has been issued at that date. Considering the significant uncertainties of whether the next liquidity event will occur on December 31, 2024, no liability has been recognized as of December 31, 2024 related to this new warrant D instruments.

22. INSURANCE

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, major assets or interests covered by insurance policies and their respective coverage amounts are summarized below:

23. BOARD MEMBER COMPENSATION, PENSION AND MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

The total amount paid by Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A to the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2024 was US\$ 493 (US\$ 498 as of December 31, 2023) and no payments were made such as advances and loans to the Board of Directors.

a) Pension Plan

The subsidiary Serviços de Petróleo, offers a private defined contribution pension plan to all employees, including key management personnel. On the Pension plan, employees can elect to contribute from 1% to 12% of the monthly gross salary and Serviços de Petróleo matches the contribution up to 4% of the monthly gross salary to employees and up to 6,5% to executives. Serviços de Petróleo's only obligation to the Pension Plan is to make its specified contributions.

For the year ended on December 31, 2024, contributions payable by Serviços de Petróleo at the rates specified by the plan rules amounts to US\$ 1,178 (US\$ 1,081 as of December 31, 2023).

b) Management Incentive Plan (MIP)

The Company implemented a Management Incentive Plan (MIP) in May 2023 to reward and retain key personnel while supporting long-term performance goals. The MIP comprised three components aimed at incentivizing offshore employees, key personnel, management, Board of Directors and the Board Advisor to remain engaged with the company and contribute to its longterm objectives.

The first component involves a Retention Pool allocated to offshore employees and was paid in June 2024 the amount of USD 1.7 million. Additionally, USD 2.5 million has been allocated for key positions, with payment scheduled for the third anniversary of the restructuring closing that is in 2025.

The second component is a Performance Unit Pool available to management and certain key positions ("eligible employees"). The distribution was contingent upon the realization of the Total Enterprise Value ("TEV") and will be paid out in cash upon the consummation of a Qualifying Liquidity Event. The payout value to the eligible employees varied depending on the TEV, ranging from zero to USD 29 million.

The third component, the Board Pool, was specifically allocated to members of the Board of Directors and Board Advisor. Similar to the Performance Unit Pool, the allocation is contingent upon the realization of the TEV and will be paid out in cash upon the consummation of a Qualifying Liquidity Event. The payout value varies depending on the TEV, ranging from zero to USD 12.5 million.

In connection with the liquidity event on the recapitalization occurred on December 12, 2024, participants of the Performance Unit Pool and the Board Pool were given the option to amend their original plan and either receive cash for 100% of their allocated units/amounts based on the liquidity event of the recapitalization or retain 100% of their allocated units/amounts and receive an immediate cash payment equivalent to 30% of the value of their allocated units/amounts. 70% of the allocated units on the Performance Unit Pool vested immediately on the recapitalization, and the remaining 30% will vest upon the consummation of another future liquidity event. If the liquidity event does not occur on or prior to December 1, 2026, each Participant shall have the right to elect to receive cash on December 31, 2026 as consideration for its vested units in an amount equal to the value of their then-vested units based on a predetermined TEV or retain such Participant's units and receive cash upon the consummation of a Liquidity Event based on the TEV of such future Liquidity Event. For the Board Pool, 100% of the amount allocated to each Participant will vest upon the consummation of a future Liquidity Event.

For the year ended December 31, 2024 the Group has a provision of US\$ 6,648 (US\$ 1,949 as of December 31, 2023) and payments of US\$ 5,030 related to the MIP Retention Plan, Performance Unit Pool and Board Pool.
