Paratus Reports Q3 2025 Results

Paratus Reports Q3 2025 Results

Hamilton, Bermuda, November 25, 2025 - Paratus Energy Services Ltd. (ticker

"PLSV") ("Paratus" or the "Company") today reported operational and financial

results for the third quarter of 2025, highlighted by $127 million in combined

segment revenues and $78 million in adjusted EBITDA. The Company and its

consolidated subsidiaries and ownership in Joint Ventures (the "Group") ended

the quarter with $144 million in cash and a net debt balance of $659 million.

Paratus is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has

authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share for Q3 2025, consistent

with prior quarters.

"We delivered another strong quarter with better-than-expected financial results

and consistent shareholder distributions," said Robert Jensen, CEO of Paratus.

"The monetization of our Archer stake highlights our focus on simplifying our

business, while recent collections in Mexico further reinforce our confidence in

an improving operating environment in the country. We remain focused on

strategic development of the business and creating long-term value for

our shareholders."

Q3 2025 highlights and post quarter-end developments

· Maintained strong operational performance with fleet technical utilization

of approximately 99%.

· Combined segment revenues increased 20% quarter-over-quarter to $127

million, while EBITDA rose 38% to $78 million, driven by higher dayrates and

increased operational days at Seagems, as well as $12 million of previously

unrecognized revenue at Fontis. Excluding this, EBITDA was $66 million (Q2 2025:

$57 million).

· Monetized the Company's ~24% shareholding in Archer for $48 million

consistent with its focus on portfolio optimization and simplification of the

corporate structure.

· Ended the quarter with $144 million in Group cash and $659 million in net

debt.

· Post Q3, declared a $0.22 per share quarterly dividend for Q3 2025,

consistent with previous quarters.

· In October-November, Fontis collected $96 million from its client in Mexico

with payments made via a Mexican government investment fund; bringing 2025

receipts to $309 million to date.

Fontis

Fontis reported contract revenues of $54.8 million (Q2 2025: $43.8 million),

reflecting the recognition of $12.1 million in previously unrecognized revenue

from the Titania FE contract acknowledge by its client.

Reported operating expenses (Opex) totaled $19.5 million for the quarter, down

from $25.6 million in Q2 2025, as the main portion of the Titania FE rig move

costs had been incurred in the previous period. General and administrative

expenses (G&A) amounted to $0.5 million (Q2 2025: $0.4 million). Adjusted EBITDA

for the quarter was $34.8 million, compared to $17.8 million in Q2 2025,

reflecting the $12.1 million in variable revenue and lower Opex.

During Q3 2025, Fontis achieved an average dayrate of $116 thousand per day,

consistent with the previous quarter, and maintained strong technical

utilization of 99.7% (Q2 2025: 99.2%). The company's contract backlog at quarter

-end stood at approximately $56 million (Q2 2025: approximately $98 million).

The Company observes early signs of demand recovery in the global jack-up

market, supported by increasing activity levels in key regions such as Saudi

Arabia and Mexico. In Saudi Arabia, Saudi Aramco has begun recalling previously

suspended rigs, indicating improving market conditions and an expected increase

in global jack-up utilization. In Mexico, Fontis' client has started securing

rig capacity for 2026 through contract renewals and extensions. Of the Company's

fleet of five jack-up rigs, all are currently contracted into Q1 2026, except

for Titania FE, which remains warm-stacked pending new engagement. While no

assurances can be given, the Company is in discussions with its client regarding

potential contracting of its rigs in Mexico. The Company remains confident in

the long-term demand for its rigs and anticipates that increased drilling

activity in Mexico will be required to support its client's production targets,

as recently reaffirmed by the Mexican government. In line with earlier

communication, the Company continues to assess strategic alternatives for its

jack-up business.

In August 2025, the Mexican government publicly introduced a comprehensive

financial support plan with the aim to make Fontis' client financially self

-sufficient by 2027. Key elements of the plan include the settlement of overdue

supplier payments, debt reduction initiatives, and a long-term increase in

national oil production from approximately 1.6 to 1.8 million barrels per day.

As part of this initiative, approximately $25 billion in new government

guaranteed funding has reportedly been secured by the client in Mexico,

including proceeds partially earmarked for capital expenditures and supplier

debt settlements.

As of the end of Q3 2025, the notional value of accounts receivable was $293

million ($232 million as of Q2 2025). In October-November, Fontis received

payment of approximately $96 million in total towards overdue invoices from its

client in Mexico, with payments made via a Mexican government investment fund.

Including these receipts, the Company has collected approximately $309 million,

so far in 2025.

The Company continues to actively pursue the collection of its remaining

outstanding receivables and remains committed to recovering the full amounts

due, consistent with its past practice. While the Company recognizes that the

timing of collections may continue to fluctuate, recent payments and ongoing

government support initiatives provide greater confidence that the payment cycle

is normalizing.

Seagems Joint Venture

Paratus' 50% share in the Seagems joint venture contributed $72.6 million in

contract revenues during the current quarter, compared to $62.7 million in Q2

2025. The revenue increase was primarily driven by higher average dayrates and

reduced off-hire days relative to the previous quarter, when three vessels were

undergoing acceptance testing as part of the commencement of new Petrobras

contracts. In August, the final vessel, Onix, commenced its new Petrobras

contract.

Reported Opex for the quarter was $21.3 million (Q2 2025: $15.4 million), while

G&A expenses totaled $3.2 million (Q2 2025: $3.7 million). The increase in Opex

primarily reflected the absence of one-off favorable items recorded in the

previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $44.8 million, up from

$40.6 million in Q2 2025, mainly as a result of stronger revenues.

The JV achieved an average dayrate of $272 thousand per day (Q2 2025: $255

thousand per day) and maintained strong technical utilization of 98.5% (Q2 2025:

97.9%). The Seagems JV's contract backlog at quarter-end was approximately $1.5

billion (Q2 2025: approximately $1.6 billion).

During the first nine months ("year-to-date" or "YTD") of 2025, the Seagems JV

provided cash distribution of approximately $91 million to Paratus (YTD 2024:

approximately $60 million).

In Q3 2025, Seagems also secured an aggregate $60 million in additional capital

expenditures financing from local Brazilian banks with amortization scheduled

over 3 years starting in 2026.
