2025 business outlook update – No change to cash distribution capacity

Land Drilling: Activity down, but net positive impact on cash flow

Land Drilling with reduced revenue (by about \$100m), reduced EBITDA (\$10-12m) and reduced capex (\$8-9m), impacting Archer's 2025 outlook and guidance
However, the net impact on cash flow is positive as the activity reduction is more than offset by reduced maintenance capex, working capital release and sale of excess equipment
Going forward, activity in the south is expected to remain muted, while Vaca Muerta is set to rebound as investments shifts from infrastructure to drilling and completion activity

Archer¹ : Largely in line with guidance

Outside of Land Drilling, business is largely in line with prior guidance, despite slowdown in the US and delays in the UK
We have increased our investments in lighter P&A units to support growth in 2026
Visibility increased with long-term P&A projects for both Equinor Norway and Repsol UK

Key takeaways

No change to cash distribution capacity and policy
Re-establishing our financial guidance for 2025, with adjustment related to reduced activity in Argentina and slightly softer well services market in the US and the UK

Capex to be around 4% of revenue, following growth investments in lighter P&A units, offset by reduction in maintenance capex in Land Drilling
We expect second half of '25 to be stronger than first half, due to commencement of projects and seasonal activity
Strong cash flow allowing for debt servicing, deleveraging and continued cash distribution to shareholders
Target to reach a leverage ratio of 1.5 2.0x over time
