CEO, Patrick Schorn commented:

"The current oil price in combination with a tighter oil supply/demand balance

is further improving the market for shallow water offshore drilling. It is also

becoming increasingly evident that the supply of rigs ready to go to work within

six months is far less than the market previously anticipated. Therefore, we

maintain the view that day rates will increase based on the current tender

activity and available jack-up rig supply.

We currently have 18 rigs contracted and committed for future contracts.

Revenues in the fourth quarter were impacted by a slight delay in start-up of

new contracts from what was previously anticipated, however we remain on track

to have all our available 23 rigs committed and under contract by the end of

2022. The operations in Mexico had a very good quarter, with record bareboat

revenues recorded, and economic utilisation of 89%.

Regarding the refinancing efforts, we passed the first milestone in the fourth

quarter with the shipyards, and we have continued the engagement with the

remaining creditors. Based on the constructive nature of these discussion, we

expect to report significant progress in the next quarter

The financial performance has been strong with the Adjusted EBITDA extending the

positive trend to $25 million in Q4 2021, which we expect to continue improving

into 2022 with more rigs being activated and commencing contracts. On Adjusted

EBITDA specifically, we would, based on the current employment situation and

projections for new contracts,  expect the Adjusted EBITDA run-rate to double by

year end 2022. Our current expectation for full year 2022 based on the same

employment assessment is to have revenues in the range of $375-$400 million and

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $115-$140 million[2]. Results for the first half

of 2022 may be negatively affected by some downtime between contracts and

preparing for activated rigs to commence new contacts.

The current commodity supply-demand dynamics are putting us in a unique position

to capitalize on our large modern fleet - and generate premium returns on the

available rigs."
