Seadrill now owns 12 benign deepwater floaters, beyond the two it manages as part of a 50:50 joint venture with Sonangol; three harsh-environment rigs; and four jackups, three of which it plans to sell consistent with ongoing fleet refinement. Financial Highlights Three months ended Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated June 30, 2023 March 31, 2023 Total Operating Revenues 414 266 Contract Revenues 329 186 Operating Profit 109 51 Adjusted EBITDA 159 85 Adjusted EBITDA Margin 38.4% 32.0% Diluted Earnings Per Share ($) 1.16 0.83 "We delivered strong results this quarter, and the full year continues to be in line with previous guidance. This quarter, we executed decisively on strategic initiatives that simplify and strengthen our organization,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Johnson. “We established greater scale with the closing of the Aquadrill acquisition. We continued to refine our fleet through value- accretive asset divestitures, completing the sale of three tender-assist units at attractive valuations and announcing intentions to sell our jackup fleet in Qatar. We also strengthened our financial position, refinancing our secured debt at competitive rates to reduce our cost of capital and improve our strategic flexibility.” Johnson further explained, "We remain committed to prioritizing a conservative capital structure, a refined fleet, and a disciplined, value- accretive approach to growth. Our new repurchase authorization will allow us to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders when available and prudent, driving further value creation.” Financial and Operational Results Seadrill generated $414 million in total operating revenues, a sequential increase of $148 million, or 56%. During the quarter, Seadrill operated an average of 13 rigs(2) that contribute to contract revenues at an average day rate of $276 thousand and economic utilization of 93%, compared to an average of nine rigs in the first quarter. This translated into contract revenues of $329 million, an increase of $143 million, or 77%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to a greater number of total operating days reflecting contracted Aquadrill rigs now included in Seadrill's results. In addition, the Company generated $66 million in management contract revenues, largely related to the rigs the Company manages under its 50:50 joint venture with Sonangol, and $19 million in reimbursable and other revenues. 1 Seadrill incurred $308 million in operating expenses, an increase of $89 million, or 41%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to higher vessel and rig operating expense consistent with the growth in the Company’s fleet size. One-time merger and integration-related expenses of $16 million also contributed to the increase. Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled from $85 million in the prior quarter to $159 million, or 38.4% of Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $20 million, compared to $15 million in the prior quarter. Adverse working capital movements negatively impacted operating cash flows. Long-term maintenance costs of $23 million, included within operating activities, and $14 million of capital upgrades resulted in total capital expenditures of $37 million, as the Company supported a larger fleet of contracted rigs. Share Repurchase Authorization Seadrill’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program that allows the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of its outstanding common shares. The $250 million authorization does not have a fixed expiration, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The Company is under no obligation to purchase any shares under the program. Shares may be repurchased at any time and from time to time under the program in open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, block trades, tender offers, accelerated share repurchase transactions or other derivative transactions, through the purchase of call options or the sale of put options, or otherwise, or by any combination of the foregoing. The manner, timing, pricing and amount of any repurchases will be subject to the discretion of the Company and may be based upon a number of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s financial position and capital requirements, financial conditions, competing uses for cash, the restrictions in the Company’s credit agreements and other factors. Balance Sheet and Debt Refinancing At quarter-end, Seadrill had total debt of $355 million and $539 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $127 million in restricted cash. After the quarter, Seadrill refinanced its secured debt, issuing $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.375% senior secured second lien notes due 2030 and establishing a $225 million senior secured five-year revolving credit facility with an accordion feature of up to a further $100 million. Importantly, the refinancing removes certain restrictive covenants, allowing the Company greater flexibility to act on accretive opportunities that maximize shareholder value. Operational and Commercial Activity Throughout the last year, Seadrill has focused increasingly on the floater segment, through continued accretive acquisitions and divestitures, believing that this part of the rig market will produce the most growth and value for shareholders. The Company announced the potential sale of three jackup rigs and related interest in its 50:50 joint venture with Gulf Drilling International ("GDI") and completed the sale of its three tender-assist units to certain affiliates of Energy Drilling Pte. Ltd. (“Edrill”) for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $85 million at the end of July. At quarter-end, Seadrill's Order Backlog(3) stood at $2.6 billion, reflecting approximately $203 million of contract additions. During the quarter, the Company secured multi-well contract extensions against existing agreements for two drillships, the Sonangol Quenguela and the West Gemini, operating in Angola through the Company's 50:50 joint venture with Sonangol. These exercised options will commence in direct continuation of the rigs' existing contracts, committing the Sonangol Quenguela through January 2025 and the West Gemini through May 2025. Additionally, the operator of the West Capella exercised a one-well option, extending its operations by approximately two months. Two of the Company's jackups, the West Castor and the West Tucana, received contract extensions for continued operations offshore Qatar through the Company's 50:50 joint venture with GDI. As of August 15, 2023, the Company's Order Backlog stands at $2.4 billion. 2 Conference Call Information The Company will host a call to discuss its results today at 09:00 EST / 14:00 BST / 15:00 CET.

Additionally, in any given period the Company may have significant, unusual or non-recurring items which may be excluded from Adjusted EBITDA for that period. When applicable, these items are fully disclosed and incorporated into the reconciliation provided below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to measure Seadrill's ongoing financial and operating strength. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest, other financial items, taxes and depreciation and amortization, which are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which may significantly affect operating income between periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or any other indicator of Seadrill Limited's performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP. The table below reconciles operating profit to Adjusted EBITDA.
