Financial results
Net Operating Revenue reduced US\$ 5.3 million year-over-year to US\$ 138.9 million in Q2 2025, mostly due to US\$ 4.0 million million negative impact of BRL depreciation. The average FX (BRL/US\$) in the quarter was R\$ 5.67 compared to R\$5.21 in Q2 2024. Lastly, fleet efficiency contributed to a US\$1.3 million decrease.
Contract drilling expenses (excluding depreciation) totaled US\$ 76.3 million in Q2 2025, down US\$ 14.1 million from US\$ 90.4 million in Q2 2024. This reduction includes a decrease of US\$ 9.0 million in materials, mainly due to the deferral of certain purchases to later in the year. Furthermore, Payroll expenses were down US\$ 4.0 million, of which US\$ 3.0 million were due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real, and US\$ 1.0 million due to the exit of Olinda Star in 2024. The remaining US\$ 1.1 million reduction is spread across maintenance, insurance and others.
General and administrative expenses have increased by US\$ 1.8 million, from US\$ 8.0 million in Q2 2024 to US\$ 9.9 million in Q2 2025. The increase was mainly driven by non-recurring Oslo Listing expenses.
Other operating income remained in line year-overyear.
Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA came in at US\$ 54.9 million, with a 39.5% adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to US\$ 56.8 million and 39.4% margin, respectively, in Q2 2024.
Net financial expenses came in 47.4% lower year over year, at US\$ 8.1 million, compared to US\$ 15.4 million in Q2 2024. The improvement was mainly related to a US\$ 4.8 million positive result in the hedge contracts and US\$ 1.7 million increase in interest over short-term investments and other financial interest.
Income taxes came in at US\$ 4.0 million in Q2 2025, US\$ 8 million higher than the US\$ 4.0 million reversal in Q2 2024. As a result of the aforementioned effects, the company posted a net profit of US\$ 0.2 million in Q2 2025, reversing a net loss of US\$ 1.4 million in Q2 2024.
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased by US\$ 19.1 million, to US\$ 109.9 million in 6M 2025, compared to US\$ 90.7 million in 6M 2024, mainly driven by the cash-in of US\$ 23.6 million Alpha Star mobilization fee.
Capital expenditure was US\$ 64.1 million in 6M 2025. Of this total, US\$ 30.7 million is related to Alpha Star´s with most of this amount related to the preparation for its new contract. Additionally, Laguna Star accounted for US\$ 16.8 million primarily related to its contract transition, which began in July.
The US\$ 30.5 million used in financing activities is linked to the first semiannual bond coupon in May 2025. As a result, total debt decreased US\$ 1.7 million, to US\$ 644.0 million as of June 30, 2025.
Net Debt decreased by US\$19.8 million mainly due to US\$19.1 million increase in operating cash flow as higher capital expenditure was offset by reduced amounts used in financing activities.
Recent developments Q2 2025
On July 7th, the Company completed an 18:1 reverse stock split aimed at improving share liquidity and attracting institutional investors.
