Excellent Operational Performance

During the third quarter of 2025, Odfjell Drilling's own fleet was fully utilised, operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf ("NCS") for Equinor and Aker BP. The Company delivered an excellent operational quarter, setting new benchmarks across its activities and achieving an average financial utilisation of 99%, ahead of the Company's nine-year average of 97%.

Deepsea Atlantic and Deepsea Aberdeen continued to operate for Equinor during the period with Deepsea Atlantic engaged in exploration drilling, including a highpressure, high-temperature ("HPHT") campaign. The unit achieved a financial utilisation of 99% and set several new drilling performance records. Deepsea Aberdeen also delivered strong results, continuing its development drilling campaign at the Breidablikk field and achieving a financial utilisation of 98%.

Deepsea Stavanger and Deepsea Nordkapp both operated for Aker BP during the quarter. Deepsea Stavanger completed the Omega Alfa project, drilling more than 40,000 metres of reservoir and setting the record for the longest exploration well in the world at 45,000 metres. This campaign forms part of the wider Yggdrasil development, on which Deepsea Stavanger is expected to continue working on until 2030. The rig achieved an exceptional financial utilisation of 99.8% during the quarter. Deepsea Nordkapp delivered a similarly strong performance, achieving a financial utilisation of 99.7% while drilling the Bøyla and Symra S production wells which will support the Edvard Grieg field.

In addition to its owned fleet, the Company also had the Deepsea Yantai and Deepsea Bollsta active on the NCS during the quarter. Deepsea Yantai operated for Okea, while Deepsea Bollsta completed its work for OMV and transitioned to a new contract with Equinor.

Outside the NCS, the Deepsea Mira was active throughout the quarter in Namibia, first completing operations for Rhino Resources on the successful Volans-1X condensate discovery before commencing work for BW Energy. The Hercules remained warm-stacked in Norway.

DNV ABATE Power+ Class Notation

During the period, Odfjell Drilling was awarded DNV's ABATE Power+ class notation across its entire own fleet, becoming the first drilling contractor to reach this milestone. The ABATE Power+ notation is awarded to offshore units that implement technologies and management systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from power generation. The Abate (Power+) notation is designed to reflect the best industry practices in greenhouse gas abatement for offshore units.

Further Dividend Increase

Reflecting the Group's strong financial position and positive outlook, the Board has approved a further increase in the quarterly dividend from USD 0.18 to USD 0.20 per share, representing a total distribution of USD 48 million. With its robust balance sheet and the expected significant increase in free cash flow, the Company remains confident in its ability to deliver significant returns to its shareholders.

Outlook

Market View Unchanged

The Company maintains its view that contracting activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf ("NCS") remains well balanced between supply and demand. The Company has maintained its position as the market leader in the harsh environment market, given its proven efficiency, rig capabilities and uptime records, placing the Company in a positive position for future contract awards.

With the Company's own fleet fully booked until late 2026 and well into 2027, the Company's focus is now on securing new contracts for work commencing in 2027 and beyond. The Deepsea Nordkapp and Deepsea Aberdeen are currently the first two units available, both of which have unpriced options with Aker BP and Equinor, respectively. The Company is in active dialogue with clients regarding potential extensions, with the Company anticipating securing new contract backlog in the near future.

In Norway, tenders for upcoming work are currently outstanding. From 2027 onwards, the Company expects additional rig capacity will be required to meet operator demand in the basin. Future drilling activity is anticipated to increase as operators look to offset natural declines from mature fields and develop smaller, more technically complex reservoirs that may require a greater number of wells. This expected growth is supplemented by increasing exploration activity.

Internationally, the Company continues to observe encouraging signs of growing interest in regions such as Namibia and Mozambique, where recent exploration discoveries have highlighted the strong potential of these basins. Other regions including Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom also continue to present attractive opportunities for both the Company's owned fleet and managed units.

As stated in previous quarters, the Group maintains its view that the global supply of Tier 1 harsh-environment semisubmersibles will continue to tighten. No newbuilds or stranded vessels are expected to enter the competitive landscape in the near term. As a result, the market is expected to remain well balanced, supporting continued strong day rates for the Group's units.

Q3 2025

Operating revenue for the Own Fleet segment in Q3 2025 was USD 189 million (USD 144 million). The increase was driven by higher revenue for Deepsea Atlantic (USD 21 million) driven by rate uplift and more revenue days in 2025 due to SPS during Q3 2024, Deepsea Stavanger (USD 10 million) driven by rate uplift, Deepsea Nordkapp (USD 9 million) driven by rate uplift and higher utilisation offset by lower bonus, and Deepsea Aberdeen (USD 6 million) mainly driven by rate uplift and offset by lower bonus.

EBITDA for the Own Fleet segment in Q3 2025 was USD 112 million (USD 77 million). The increase was driven by Deepsea Atlantic (USD 14 million), Deepsea Stavanger (USD 10 million), Deepsea Nordkapp (USD 8 million), and Deepsea Aberdeen (USD 3 million).

YTD 2025

Operating revenue for the Own Fleet segment in YTD 2025 was USD 523 million (USD 440 million). The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue for Deepsea Atlantic (USD 33 million), mainly driven by rate uplift and more revenue days in 2025, Deepsea Nordkapp (USD 24 million), mainly driven by rate uplift, Deepsea Stavanger (USD 20 million), driven by rate uplift and higher bonus, partly offset by the SPS in Q2 2025 and Deepsea Aberdeen (USD 5 million) driven by rate uplift partly offset by SPS during Q2 2025 and lower bonus.

Q3 2025

Operating revenue for the External Fleet was USD 44 million (USD 42 million). This was mainly driven by Deepsea Bollsta (USD 5 million), which was idle during Q3 2024, while the rig had 50 operational days in Q3 2025 for OMV (20 days) and Equinor (30 days). Also, positive variance on Deepsea Yantai (USD 1 million) driven by an uplift of the management fee and Deepsea Mira (USD 1 million). The increase is partly offset by Hercules (USD 6 million), which has been idle in Ølen during Q3 2025.

EBITDA for the External Fleet in Q3 2025 was USD 8 million (USD 7 million). Positive variance of Deepsea Bollsta (USD 1 million), Deepsea Mira (USD 1 million) and Deepsea Yantai (USD 1 million) is offset by a negative variance on Hercules (USD -1 million).

YTD 2025

Operating revenue for the External Fleet was USD 131 million (USD 129 million). Positive variance of Deepsea Bollsta (USD 14 million), Deepsea Yantai (USD 3 million) and Deepsea Mira (USD 2 million) is offset by a negative variance on Hercules of USD 17 million, which has been idle in Ølen during 2025.

EBITDA for the External Fleet in YTD 2025 was USD 25 million (USD 20 million). The main driver is Deepsea Bollsta (USD 4 million), Deepsea Yantai (USD 2 million) and Deepsea Mira (USD 2 million). The increase is offset by Hercules (USD -2 million).

Sustainability

Environment

E1 - Climate change mitigation

Demonstrating our commitment to continuous decarbonisation and energy efficiency, Odfjell Drilling has achieved DNV's ABATE Power+ class notation across its entire own fleet, becoming the first drilling contractor to reach this milestone. The ABATE Power+ notation is awarded to offshore units that implement technologies and management systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from power generation. This recognition further strengthens our commitment to meet client expectations and comply with regulatory requirements for lower-emission offshore drilling.

A new cuttings handling system has been installed on Deepsea Stavanger on behalf of the rig's client. The system provides onsite waste management by enabling a larger share of drill cuttings to be handled and treated offshore. While the installation increases the rig's absolute emissions, it contributes to lower value chain emissions by reducing the need for transport and onshore waste handling.

E1-6 Carbon accounting

In Q3 2025, the total GHG emissions were 58,095 tCO2e (59,747 tCO2e). This represents a 3% decrease in GHG emissions (-1,652 tCO2e). The decrease was mainly due to less international operations, and no SPS activities.

Scope 1 CO₂e emissions in Q3 2025 was 0 tCO₂e (995 tCO₂e). As all rigs remained on contract during the quarter, no scope 1 emissions were generated.

Scope 3 CO2e emissions for category 7, employee commuting, in Q3 2025 was 1761 tCO2e (2006 tCO2e). The decrease is the result of less international activity.

Scope 3 CO2e emissions for category 13, downstream leased assets, in Q3 amounted to 31,372 tCO2e (31,050 tCO2e). The increase is due to the implementation of a new cuttings system on Deepsea Stavanger.

Emissions from our fleet are activitydependent and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, even without or despite implementing emissionreducing measures. Rig emissions are related to our drilling activity, including both production and exploration wells.

Social

S1-14 Taking action on material impacts on own workforce

In the third quarter of 2025, as part of the annual Always Safe initiative, the learning package focused on preventing line-of-fire incidents and promoting safe practices when working at height. This learning package explored how we can better identify and control such risks, as well as prevent falling objects.

The aim was to strengthen safe working conditions across all phases of a job from establishing the right frameworks and routines to effective planning, risk assessment, execution, and close-out ensuring that everyone gets home safely.

Governance

ESRS 2 - Sustainability assurance

Throughout the quarter, the Group made further progress on sustainability reporting, strengthening our framework in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Building on experience from the first reporting cycle, we are enhancing data quality and further integrating sustainability performance across our operations to strengthen transparency and reporting quality.

Risks and uncertainties

Forward-looking statements and estimates in this report reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, and may not be within our control. In the Group's view, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the outlook contained in this report include, but are not limited to, the following: volatile oil and gas prices, global political changes regarding energy composition, competition within the oil and gas services industry, changes in clients' spending budgets, cost inflation, access to qualified resources and developments in the financial and fiscal markets. Furthermore, as Odfjell Drilling's fully owned fleet consists of four units, any operational downtime, increased capex requirements or any failure to secure employment at satisfactory rates will affect the Group's results relatively more than for a group with a larger fleet. In order to avoid operational downtime with potential impact on the Group's results, and to secure long term order backlog, Odfjell Drilling has invested significant time and efforts to maintain a safe, predictable and profitable performance.

Odfjell Drilling has a strong backlog and a robust balance sheet with low leverage.

The Group has a continuous focus on cost reductions, efficiency improvement programmes, and capital discipline, in order to maintain its competitiveness.

Note 1 Accounting Principles

General information

Odfjell Drilling Ltd. ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') own and operate mobile offshore drilling units.

Odfjell Drilling Ltd., is incorporated in Bermuda with its registered address at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda and is tax resident in the United Kingdom with its head office at Prime View, Prime Four Business Park, Kingswells, Aberdeen, AB15 8PU.

These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 5 November 2025 and have not been audited.

Basis for preparation

These condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Accounting principles

The accounting principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

Use of estimates

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates are based on the actual underlying business, its present and forecast profitability over time, and expectations about external factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and other factors which are outside the Group's control. The resulting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

There will always be uncertainty related to judgement and assumptions related to accounting estimates.

Note 2 Operating and geographic segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board. The Group provides drilling and related services to oil and gas companies. The Group owned four drilling units during 2024 and 2025 with similar services, revenues, customers and production processes. Own drilling units (Own Fleet) is therefore assessed as one reporting segment. The same applies for rig management services provided to other owners of other drilling units (External Fleet).

Own Fleet

The segment operates drilling units owned by Odfjell Drilling.

External Fleet

The segment offers management services to other owners of drilling units; mainly operational management, management of regulatory requirements, marketing, contract negotiations and client relations, preparations for operations and mobilisation.

Note 9 Financial assets and liabilities

Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values

Level 2 derivatives held at fair value through profit or loss and hedging derivatives, comprise interest rate swaps and foreign exchange agreements. Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange agreements are fair valued using forward rates extracted from observable yield curves. Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange agreements are recognised according to mark-to-market reports from external financial institutions.

The Odfjell Drilling Group had the following financial instruments at each reporting period

Note 11 Contingencies

Letter of indemnity and related receivable

Refer to Note 27 in the Annual Report 2024 for information about the letter of indemnity issued to Odfjell Technology Ltd regarding the Odfjell Offshore Ltd (OFO) tax case, and the NOK 307 million upfront payment in 2023. OFO appealed the administrative tax ruling to Hordaland District Court, which was litigated at the beginning of December 2024. The court issued a judgment on 23 January 2025 in favour of the Norwegian Tax Authorities. The judgment has been further appealed to Gulating Court of Appeal, and the appeal is scheduled for March 2026.

The Group is still of the opinion that the most likely outcome of a court case is that the antiavoidance rule should not be applicable and the denial of the tax loss should be revoked.

As stated above, the Group's best judgement is that the tax case will be won by OFO. The Group has therefore not recognised a provision for the contingent indemnification liability. Consequently, the Group has recognised the upfront payment made in 2023 as a non-current receivable that will be repaid if the legal appeal prevails.

There are no other material contingencies to be disclosed as per 30 September 2025.
