Borr Drilling Limited Announces Certain Preliminary Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
Borr Drilling Limited Announces Certain Preliminary Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
Bermuda, August 9, 2024 Borr Drilling Limited (the "Company") (NYSE and OSE:
"BORR") today announced certain preliminary unaudited results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024.
The Company expects for the three months ended June 30, 2024: (i) total
operating revenues of approximately $272 million, an increase of $38 million or
16% compared to the first quarter of 2024, (ii) operating income of
approximately $104 million, an increase of $19 million or 23% compared to the
first quarter of 2024, and (iii) adjusted EBITDA of approximately $136 million,
an increase of $19 million or 17% compared to the first quarter of 2024. The
Company expects $193.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $150.0 million
undrawn under our RCF as of June 30, 2024.
The increase in operating income of $19 million is primarily comprised of the
following: (i) $10 million increase associated with the termination of a
contract for "Arabia I" (one-off impact from the amortization of deferred
revenue and deferred costs); (ii) $5 million net increase from the improved
operations of our jack-up fleet; and (iii) $3 million increase in amortization
of deferred revenue as a result of changes to our operating structure in Mexico
for jack-up rigs "Galar", "Odin" and "Njord".
For illustrative purposes, the Company expects the following positive impacts to
Q2 2024 adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis:
i. $99 million on an annualised basis from the uplift in dayrates in the second
half of 2024 for the rigs Norve, Saga, Skald, Gerd and Natt;
ii. $32 million on an annualised basis from the increase in revenue from the new
contract for Arabia I which is expected to commence early 2025; and
iii. $61 million on an annualised basis from the expected contract for the rig
Vali, which is scheduled for delivery in August 2024 and whose contract is
expected to commence by year end
These positive impacts are offset by a $90 million negative impact (annualised)
as a result of the positive one-off impacts in Q2 2024 associated with the
termination of the Arabia I contract in June 2024, as well as the change in our
operating structure in Mexico.
The Company is currently finalizing its financial results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2024, which it plans to release on August 14, 2024 after
markets close.
The expected financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024
presented herein are estimates, based on information available to management as
of the date of this release, and are subject to further changes upon completion
of the Company's standard quarter end closing procedures. Such preliminary
operating results do not represent a comprehensive statement of financial
results and actual results may differ materially from these estimates following
the completion of Borr Drilling's standard closing procedures, or as a result of
other adjustments or developments that may arise before the results for this
period are finalized. The Company does not intend to update such financial
information prior to release of its final second quarter 2024 financial
information, which is scheduled for August 14, 2024.
This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU
Market Abuse Regulation and subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to
section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP MEASURE RECONCILIATION
Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Company's Net Income to Adjusted
EBITDA.
(in US$ millions) Q2 2024 Q1 2024
Net income 31.7 14.4
Depreciation of non-current assets 31.9 31.8
Income from equity method investments 2.5 (5.4)
Total financial expense, net 55.4 57.8
Income tax (credit)/expense 14.9 18.2
Adjusted EBITDA 136.4 116.8
The Company uses certain financial information calculated on a basis other than
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(US GAAP) including Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA as presented above
represents our periodic net income/(loss) adjusted for: depreciation of
noncurrent assets, (income)/loss from equity method investments, total financial
(income) expense net and income tax (credit) expense. Adjusted EBITDA is
presented here because the Company believes that the measure provides useful
information regarding the Company's operational performance.
Due to the forward-looking nature of the expected impact of items described
above on adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2024 on an annualized basis, the Company is
unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward looking non-GAAP
financial measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial
measure without unreasonable effort.
