"In the last six months, Odfjell Drilling has been focused on delivery.
"In addition to strong operational performance, we completed our final two SPS and upgrade projects on time and on budget, paid substantial dividends to shareholders and further deleveraged our balance sheet, whilst maintaining our position as the premier harsh environment driller.
"With our fleet upgraded and secured with significant backlog, shareholders can expect reduced capex commitments, increasing revenue generation, and further distributions. This has already begun, with Q2 2025 setting new records for Revenue, EBITDA, Net Profit and Dividends."

During the second quarter of 2025, Odfjell Drilling's own fleet was active on the Norwegian Continental Shelf ("NCS"), working for Equinor and Aker BP. Three of the Company's units had yard stays associated with SPS programs and upgrades however the fleet was able to achieve a financial utilisation of 92%.
During the quarter, the Deepsea Atlantic and Deepsea Aberdeen were working with Equinor. The Deepsea Atlantic was working on exploration wells during the period and achieved a financial utilisation of 98.9%. The Deepsea Aberdeen meanwhile was working on development wells on the Breidablikk field before it came into yard for its SPS towards the end of the period. The Deepsea Aberdeen achieved a financial utilisation of 72.5%.
Deepsea Stavanger was working with Aker BP during the quarter following completion of its SPS in early Q2. Deepsea Stavanger worked on exploration wells and achieved a financial utilisation of 99.2%.

Deepsea Nordkapp was active through most of the quarter, having completed a short yard stay between late Q1 and early Q2. Upon its return to operations, the unit worked with Aker BP and Harbour Energy. The unit worked on a CCS well for Harbour as well as on development wells on the Symra and Bøyla fields. The unit achieved a financial utilisation of 97.8%.
In addition to its own fleet, the Company had both the Deepsea Yantai and Deepsea Bollsta working on the NCS during the quarter, following Deepsea Bollsta successfully being granted its Acknowledgement of Compliance ("AOC") by the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority. The Deepsea Yantai was operating for ConocoPhillips and Vår Energi whilst the Deepsea Bollsta was working for OMV; both units were working on exploration wells.
Deepsea Mira was doing operational preparations in Namibia, while Hercules was stacked in Norway.
In the first half of 2025 alone, Odfjell Drilling has completed four significant maintenance and upgrade projects on its fleet. This includes achieving AOC certification for Deepsea Bollsta, upgrading and replacing thrusters on Deepsea Nordkapp and successfully completing the SPS's on both the Deepsea Stavanger and Deepsea Aberdeen; with both units achieving SPS classification on time and on budget in Q2.
As a result, all the Company's rig's SPS projects are now completed, with an average downtime below expectations.
Odfjell Drilling's fleet is now upgraded, future-proofed and in prime condition, with no major capex expectations for its fleet until the beginning of its next SPS cycle in December 2028. In addition, following completion of the Company's SPS projects, distribution restrictions under the terms of its senior secured bond are more flexible.
Given the Group's strong financial position and outlook, the Board has decided to again increase the quarterly dividend from 16 cents to 18 cents per share, equivalent to a total distribution of USD 43.2 million.
Based on the strong financial position and the expected significant increase in free cash flow, the Company is confident that it will be well positioned to continue to increase shareholder returns.
During the quarter, the Company appointed Alasdair Shiach as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Shiach previously served on the Board of Odfjell Drilling Ltd prior to the spin-off of Odfjell Technology in March 2022. He has 40 years of experience in oilfield services, holding senior executive positions in Norway, UAE, Saudi Arabia and USA. This brings the total number of directors on the board to five.
The Group's own fleet is currently fully booked until 2027, with the Deepsea Stavanger secured until early Q2 2030. The Group's own fleet contracting strategy now remains on securing more work in 2027 and 2028, where the Group continues to see good demand for its services. Odfjell Drilling maintains its market leading position in the harsh environment market, given our proven efficiency, rig capabilities and uptime records.
Future demand for its own fleet is expected to come from Norway, where demand remains solid. Tenders remain outstanding for work in the basin and the Group is involved in direct negotiations with clients to secure further contracts for its units. Work in Norway is expected to encompass further exploration wells, as well as wider development projects; incremental demand may also come from Carbon Storage wells. Internationally, work is expected to remain short-term in West Africa, with longer term work expected to increase in line with the development of offshore Namibia and Mozambique. Recent positive exploration discoveries highlight the potential of both basins as drivers of demand going forward. Other regions such as Canada, Australia and UK also continue to present opportunities for our own fleet and managed units.
As per previous quarters, the Group maintains its view that the supply of tier 1 harsh-environment semi-submersibles will decrease, with some units expected to be scrapped, and no newbuilds expected in the future. The market is therefore expected to remain well-balanced, supporting strong day rates for the Group's units.

Operating revenue for the Own Fleet segment in Q2 2025 was USD 171 million (USD 145 million). The increase was driven by higher revenue for Deepsea Atlantic (USD 11 million), mainly driven by rate uplift towards Equinor after completion of the Johan Sverdrup contract in July 2024, Deepsea Nordkapp (USD 9 million), mainly driven by rate uplift in the new contract with Aker BP, and Deepsea Stavanger (USD 6 million), driven by rate uplift and higher
bonus, partly offset by the SPS in Q2 2025. The positive variation was partly offset by Deepsea Aberdeen with a negative deviation of USD 1 million driven by the SPS in Q2 2025, partly offset by rate uplift.

Operating revenue for the External Fleet was USD 47 million (USD 45 million). This was mainly driven by Deepsea Bollsta (USD 7 million), which was idle most part of Q2 2024, while the rig was mobilized from Namibia and started operations in the North Sea for OMV during Q2 2025. Also, positive variance on Deepsea Yantai (USD 1 million) driven by an uplift of the management fee. The decrease has been partly offset by Hercules (USD 5 million), which has been idle in Ølen during Q2 2025 and Deepsea Mira (USD 1 million).
EBITDA for the External Fleet in Q2 2025 was USD 9 million (USD 7 million). The main driver is Deepsea Bollsta (USD 3 million) and Deepsea Yantai (USD 1
million). The increase is offset by Hercules (USD -1 million).
Operating revenue for the External Fleet was USD 87 million (USD 87 million). Positive variance of Deepsea Bollsta (USD 9 million), Deepsea Yantai (USD 1 million) and Deepsea Mira (USD 1 million) is offset

As part of our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Deepsea Nordkapp drilled the Havstjerne CCS well on behalf of Harbour Energy. The operation aimed to assess reservoir suitability for CO2 injection and long-term storage. It also included the acquisition of data for future monitoring requirements. The well was delivered 23 days ahead of schedule.
See the GHG accounting methodology statement in the 2024 Annual Report. Emissions are presented in Tonnes Carbon Dioxide Equivalent ("tCO2e") unless stated otherwise.
In Q2 2025, the total GHG emissions were 63,246 tCO2e (59,764 tCO2e). This represents a 6% increase in GHG emissions (3,482 tCO2e). The increase was mainly due to two completed Special Periodic Surveys (SPS), which resulted in higher emissions from both capital goods and purchased goods and services.
Scope 1 CO2e emissions in Q2 2025 was 2,356 tCO2e (0 tCO2e). The increase is attributed to the SPS activities on the two rigs, which were off contract during the period.
Scope 3 CO2e emissions for category 7, employee commuting, in Q2 2025 was 481 tCO2e (243 tCO2e). The increase is related to less international activity.
Scope 3 CO2e emissions for category 13, downstream leased assets, in Q2 amounted to 31,350 tCO2e (33,218 tCO2e). The decrease is a result of Deepsea Aberdeen and Deepsea Stavanger being off contract during the period for their SPS, leading to their emissions being accounted for under Scope 1 rather than Scope 3 category 13.
Emissions from our fleet are activity dependent and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, even without or despite implementing emissionreducing measures. Rig emissions are related to our drilling activity, including both production and exploration wells.
The Group remains focused on ensuring safe, efficient and long-term operations of its fleet through a structured approach to Life Cycle Management (LCM).
In Q2, Deepsea Stavanger and Deepsea Aberdeen completed major SPS's, extending their operational lifespan by another five years. Deepsea Nordkapp also finalised its remaining SPS scope.
Read more about our maintenance philosophy in the 2024 annual report.
In the second quarter, as part of the annual Always Safe initiative, a learning package focused on preventing personal injuries. The objective was to strengthen risk prevention by raising awareness during both the planning and execution phases of work, with the ultimate aim of ensuring that no one ends up in the line of fire.
Odfjell Drilling is committed to internationally recognised human rights and works to integrate human rights considerations into the Group's overall risk assessment processes. This ensures that human rights are embedded in our day-today operations and decision-making. The company takes a systematic, group-wide approach to fulfilling its obligations under the Norwegian Transparency Act and the UK Modern Slavery Act. The 2024 statements have been published on our website.
The Group published its first third-party verified annual Sustainability Statement in alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Norwegian Accounting Act.

Forward-looking statements and estimates in this report reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, and may not be within our control. In the Group's view, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the outlook contained in this report include, but are not limited to, the following: volatile oil and gas prices, global political changes regarding energy composition, competition within the oil and gas services industry, changes in clients' spending budgets, cost inflation, access to qualified resources and developments in the financial and fiscal markets. Furthermore, as Odfjell Drilling's fully owned fleet consists of four units, any operational downtime, increased capex requirements or any failure to secure employment at satisfactory rates will affect the Group's results relatively more than for a group with a larger fleet. In order to avoid operational downtime with potential impact on the Group's results, and to secure long term order backlog, Odfjell Drilling has invested significant time and efforts to maintain a safe, predictable and profitable performance.
Odfjell Drilling has a strong backlog and a robust balance sheet with low leverage.
The Group has a continuous focus on cost reductions, efficiency improvement programmes, and capital discipline, in order to maintain its competitiveness.

Odfjell Drilling Ltd. ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') own and operate mobile offshore drilling units.
Odfjell Drilling Ltd., is incorporated in Bermuda with its registered address at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda and is tax resident in the United Kingdom with its head office at Prime View, Prime Four Business Park, Kingswells, Aberdeen, AB15 8PU.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 18 August 2025 and have not been audited.
These condensed interim financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The accounting principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates are based on the actual underlying business, its present and forecast profitability over time, and expectations about external factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and other factors which are outside the Group's control. The resulting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
There will always be uncertainty related to judgement and assumptions related to accounting estimates.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board. The Group provides drilling and related services to oil and gas companies. The Group owned four drilling units during 2024 and 2025 with similar services, revenues, customers and production processes. Own drilling units (Own Fleet) is therefore assessed as one reporting segment. The same applies for rig management services provided to other owners of other drilling units (External Fleet).
The segment operates drilling units owned by Odfjell Drilling.
The segment offers management services to other owners of drilling units; mainly operational management, management of regulatory requirements, marketing, contract negotiations and client relations, preparations for operations and mobilisation.

OFO appealed the administrative tax ruling to Hordaland District Court, which was litigated at the beginning of December 2024. The court issued a judgment on 23 January 2025 in favour of the Norwegian Tax Authorities. The judgment has been further appealed to Gulating Court of Appeal.
The Group is still of the opinion that the most likely outcome of a court case is that the antiavoidance rule should not be applicable and the denial of the tax loss should be revoked.
As stated above, the Group's best judgement is that the tax case will be won by OFO. The Group has therefore not recognised a provision for the contingent indemnification liability. Consequently, the Group has recognised the upfront payment made in 2023 as a non-current receivable that will be repaid if the legal appeal prevails.
There are no other material contingencies to be disclosed as per 30 June 2025.
