NorAm Drilling AS - First Quarter 2025 Results

Oslo, Norway, May 28, 2025

NorAm Drilling AS (the “Company” or “NorAm”), today reported unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

HIGHLIGHTS

• Reported Revenues of MUSD 25.8

• Adjusted EBITDA of MUSD 6.7

• Fleet utilization of 89.7%

• Current revenue backlog of MUSD 17.6

Marty L. Jimmerson, Chief Executive Officer of NorAm Drilling AS commented:

«During the first quarter, the Company continued to execute well despite Permian land rig counts declining slightly. Market sentiment remained cautious as a result of economic and geopolitical uncertainties and E&Ps continued demonstration of operational and production discipline.

With our industry low-cost base and zero debt, we continue to return capital to shareholders despite market headwinds, and this demonstrates the strength of our unique model. We paid MUSD 5.2 or NOK 1.32 per share in monthly dividends in the quarter and have declared two additional dividends after quarter end. Our rigs are among the very top performers measured in feet drilled per day in the U.S shale market, and NorAm should be well positioned in a market recovery».
