Net Operating Revenue increased US\$ 3.1 million yearover-year to US\$ 138.4 million in Q3 2025. This increase was primarily driven by US\$ 15.0 million from the Semi fleet, supported by Gold Star's US\$ 8.9 million uplift, resulting from a favorable 49-day additional operating days, as well as the US\$ 6.3 million increase from Alpha Star, which benefited from the higher day rates after its contract transition in Q1 2025. Furthermore, Brava Star's amendment to operate in shallow water, along with the commencement of Tidal Action, in mid-September, contributed US\$ 2.8 million each, to the revenue increase. These gains were partially offset by the contract transition of Laguna Star, which reduced revenues by US\$ 11.5 million, along with Amaralina Star's scheduled maintenance, which led to a US\$ 5.3 million revenue decrease. The average FX (BRL/US\$) in the quarter was R\$ 5.45 compared to R\$5.55 in Q3 2024, resulting in a positive US\$ 0.9 million revenue impact. 9M25 revenues came in at US\$ 399.1 million, down US\$ 24.4 million against the comparative mainly due to the contract transitions carried out so far, which reduced own fleet utilization by 150 days year-over-year.
Contract drilling expenses (excluding depreciation) totaled US\$ 85.6 million in Q3 2025, up US\$ 13.1 million from US\$ 72.5 million in Q3 2024. This increase is mainly due to (i) US\$ 4.1 million increase in payroll, reflecting US\$ 2.3 million of higher short-term incentive accruals mainly tied to the offshore retention plan and US\$ 1.8 million to labor inflation adjustments ; (ii) US\$ 2.6 million increase in maintenance, mostly due to postponement of activities originally programmed for the first semester, and (iii) US\$ 3.6 million increase in others, as the Q3 2024 benefited from one-off insurance reimbursement. The remaining US\$ 0.5 million increase is spread across materials, contingencies and insurance. With Tidal Action commencing operations in mid-September, the company recognized US\$ 2.3 million of reimbursable costs during the period. Year to date, contract drilling expenses (excluding depreciation) came in at US\$ 232.5 million, US\$ 16.4 million (6.6%) below 9M24.
General and administrative expenses have increased by US\$ 4.9 million, from US\$ 2.2 million in Q3 2024 to US\$ 7.1 million in Q3 2025, mainly driven by the US\$ 4.9 million prior year one-off accounting accrual reversal. Without this effect SG&A remained stable in the yearover-year comparison.
Q3 2025 adjusted EBITDA came in at US\$ 44.2 million, with a 32.0% adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to US\$ 61.9 million and 45.7% margin, respectively, in Q3 2024. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA came in at US\$ 142.8 million.
Net financial expenses for the quarter totaled US\$ 11.4 million, a 20.6% decrease year-over-year compared to US\$ 14.4 million in Q3 2024. This US\$ 3.0 million improvement was primarily driven by a US\$ 3.4 million increase in financial income, including US\$ 1.4 million from higher interest on short-term investments and US\$ 1.7 million in positive results from FX hedge contracts.
Net loss for the quarter totaled US\$ 13.7 million, compared to a net profit of US\$ 2.5 million in Q3 2024. The year-over-year variation is mainly due to US\$ 13.1 million increase in contract drilling expenses and a US\$ 4.9 million rise in SG&A. This variance is mainly explained by one-off positive effects in Q3 2024, which reduced last year's comparative costs by about US\$ 8.0 million.
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased by US\$ 18.2 million, to US\$ 169.8 million in 9M 2025, compared to US\$ 151.6 million in 9M 2024. Highlight to the US\$ 23.6 million of Alpha Star mobilization fee cashed in in Q2 2025.
Capital expenditure increased US\$ 25.8 million year over year, totaling US\$ 109.0 million in 9M 2025. Highlight to Laguna Star which accounted for US\$ 39.9 million as part of its preparation for the new Roncador contract that commenced in October 2025. Additionally, Alpha Star totaled US\$ 33.8 million, mostly related to the preparation for the new Petrobras contract which started this February.
Financing activities totaled US\$30.5 million used in the first semiannual bond coupon paid in May 2025. This represents a significant reduction compared to US\$83.2 million in the same period last year under the previous debt structure.
As a result, Cash and cash equivalents, Short Term Investments and Restricted Cash increased US\$40.4 million year to date, to US\$ 223.0 million as of September 30, 2025.
Total debt increased US\$ 17.8 million year to date, due to interest accruals, to US\$ 660.1 million as of September 30, 2025.
Net Debt decreased US\$ 22.7 million year to date to US\$ 437.1 million as the increase in Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Restricted Cash more than offset the increase in Total Debt.

(1) Contract drilling backlog is calculated by multiplying the contracted operating day rate by the firm contract period. Our calculation also assumes 100% uptime of our drilling rigs for the contract period: however. the amount of actual revenue earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned may be different from the amounts and periods shown in the tables below due to various factors. including. but not limited to. stoppages for maintenance or upgrades. unplanned downtime. the learning curve related to commencement of operations of additional drilling units. weather conditions and other factors that may result in applicable day rates lower than the full contractual operating day rate. Contract drilling backlog includes revenues for mobilization and demobilization on a cash basis.
