Net results

• Profit after tax of \$4.0m

• Earnings per share of \$0.09

Recent Events and Outlook

Monthly cash distributions

  • 36 consecutive monthly distributions, totaling \$86m or NOK ~21 per share
  • Latest distribution of \$0.03/sh implies 12.2% dividend yield p.a.(1)
  • We intend to continue to payout excess earnings

Fleet status

  • 9 out of 11 rigs contracted
  • One of the two idle rigs is contracted from mid December
  • Pursuing opportunities for the last idle rig

Stable near term outlook

  • Commodity prices will impact 2026 US shale E&P capex
  • Assuming no significant fluctuations in prices, Permian rig counts should be stable
  • We believe US shale oil production levels have likely peaked at current activity level

Permian Tight Oil Production Is Now In Decline

  • Permian rig counts and # of well completions have stabilized at a level where oil production is declining
  • Production efficiency gains no longer able to compensate for the lower activity
  • Super Spec rigs continue to be the rigs of choice → NorAm should be the first in line to benefit from increased activity to sustain production
