Note 1 General Information and Business Operations

On May 1, 2024, the name of the company was changed to Ventura Offshore Holding Ltd. Further, the 100% owned subsidiary, Ventura Offshore Midco Ltd, was incorporated in March 2024. These two entities were formed with the intention of raising capital through equity and a bond loan to acquire 100% of the shares of Universal Energy Resources Inc (the "UER Acquisition").

The Company's main assets upon the acquisition being the drillship DS Carolina and the semisubmersible drilling rig SSV Victoria, both currently operating in Brazil on long term time-charter and drilling services contracts with the oil major Petrobras. In addition to operating DS Carolina and SSV Victoria, the Company operated two drilling units, the semisubmersible drilling rig SSV Catarina and the drillship Atlantic Zonda, on behalf of their owners at the time of the acquisition on May 8, 2024. The Company announced on June 27, 2024, that it had entered into an agreement to acquire SSV Catarina and the delivery of the vessel took place on July 23, 2024. The vessel commenced a long-term time charter agreement on August 17, 2024, with the oil major Eni in Indonesia. As of the balance sheet date, the Company has a fleet of three owned vessels and one vessel under management.

The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not intend to early adopt this standard and is assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

Note 3 Revenues and segment information

The Company entered into a Sale and Purchase agreement ("SPA") and acquired 100% of the shares in UER on May 8, 2024. The Company did not have any operations prior to the acquisition, and the financial information for 2024 relates to the acquired business starting from May 8, 2024 to September 30, 2024, and the operations of SSV Catarina from July 2024 following the acquisition of the vessel, except for General and Administrative Expenses that is including costs incurred from the inception of the Company in February 2024.

The Company has two reportable segments that are monitored and measured by the chief operating decision makers, the Board of Directors; (1) Operations of Owned Vessels related to the three units owned by the Company, and (2) Operations of Managed Vessels that include recognized revenues and expenses for Atlantic Zonda and SSV Catarina prior to acquiring this unit in July 2024. Non-cash revenue from unfavourable contracts, general and administrative expenses and interest expenses, net, are not allocated to the operating segments for purposes of monitoring and measuring segment income from operations and are included in "Unallocated" in the table below. The significant segment expense categories include the Rig operating and maintenance expenses, and review of the total of the unallocated General and Administrative expenses.

The Company's vessels DS Carolina and SSV Victoria are chartered out on three-year contracts to the oil major Petrobras. The charter contracts include a day rate that is paid partly in US dollars and with an element that is paid in Brazilian reais that is adjusted annually for inflation. The three-year contracts commenced in 2023 and with estimated expiry in the second and third quarter of 2026. On December 17, 2024, the Company announced that DS Carolina was awarded a new contract commencing in 2026 with a firm period of 910 days, plus an optional period of 305 days, with Petrobras for the Sepia and Atapu field following expiry of the current contract and essential contract preparation works and class inspections. Further, information is disclosed in note 5. On February 25, 2025, the Company announced that DS Carolina had in January 2025 been subject to an order of interdiction from ANP (the regulatory body for oil, natural gas and biofuels industries in Brazil). ANP is of the view that certain emergency procedures used by the industry should be improved. On March 3, 2025, the Company announced that DS Carolina resumed operations and that the Company is in ongoing discussions with its client regarding the financial compensation for the suspension period. The Company recognized revenues in the first quarter of 2025 for an estimated outcome. A final outcome may not be concluded before later in the year or early in 2026.

In July 2024, the Company completed the asset acquisition of SSV Catarina and simultaneously the operating agreement with the previous owner of the vessel was terminated. The vessel commenced a four well drilling contract with the oil major Eni on August 17, 2024, plus an optional four wells in Indonesia. Eni has exercised two of the optional wells, which is expected to keep the unit utilized into the first quarter of 2026. Further exercise by Eni of the remaining two optional wells in Indonesia could keep the rig utilized into Q3 2026.

The Company has one operating and marketing agreement that generates management income related to the drillship Atlantic Zonda, owned by a third party. Atlantic Zonda has been successfully prepared for its three-year contract, plus three optional years, with Petrobras through contract preparation and mobilization from Korea and Singapore. The vessel commenced its contract with Petrobras on April 18, 2025. The operating and marketing agreements have been signed with the owners of Atlantic Zonda for the operations of the vessel. Further, the owner of the vessel assumes the operational risks and rewards related to revenues and expenses under the contract period. The Company is expected to earn a management fee that is subject to the operational performance of the vessel during the period. The management fee income has increased since the vessel commenced operations. The third quarter was the first full operational quarter and consequently we recorded a management fee of \$3.6 million compared to \$2.2 million recognized in the second quarter of 2025.

The Company's revenues are generated from certain major customers and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, three customers accounted for 55.2%, 24.6% and 20.2% of the revenues, respectively. Gross revenues of \$283.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as presented in the table below includes 214.0 million of revenues for the three units located in Brazil and the remaining revenues are generated in Indonesia.

On February 10, 2025, the Company announced that it had agreed with the sellers of SSV Catarina to pay a lump sum of \$8.0 million to acquire the earnout agreement and settle all other amounts outstanding related to the management agreement for the vessel that was terminated when the unit was acquired by the Company.

The Company had estimated the fair value of the profit-split earnout agreement as of the acquisition date in July 2024 and included an amount of \$17.3 million as part of the cost price of the vessel and with an associated estimated liability of the same amount. As per the settlement agreement, where a lumpsum of \$8.0 million was paid, approximately \$1.5 million of this lumpsum was related to the profitsplit earnout agreement. Accordingly, the remaining estimated liability was reduced from \$15.8 million to nil. Further, the carrying value of the vessel was reduced by a net amount of \$12.6 million as a result of the settlement agreement.

The carrying value of the vessels is as follows:

in USD thousands September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Vessels and equipment 524,361 529,139
Other Property and Equipment 149 131
524,510 529,270
Less: accumulated depreciation (42,861) (19,497)
Total 481,649 509,773

Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, totalled \$7.8 million and \$23.4 million, respectively.

Note 5 Interest Bearing Debt and Financing

On April 19, 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Ventura Offshore Midco Ltd., raised a senior secured bond loan with gross proceeds of \$130.0 million to partly fund the UER Acquisition. First-priority security was established in the two rigs owned by Universal Energy Resources Inc Group at the date of the acquisition, the shares in Ventura Offshore Midco Ltd. and all subsidiaries, together with assignment of earnings and insurances including bank account pledges.

To fund parts of the cost when acquiring SSV Catarina in July 2024, the Company raised an additional amount of \$55.0 million as a tap issue under the existing bond loan agreement on July 19, 2024, and thereby increased the outstanding loan balance from \$130.0 million to \$185.0 million. The loan has annual amortization of \$40.0 million, and a minimum liquidity covenant of \$15.0 million that includes the unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility discussed below. The loan carries a nominal interest per annum of 10.0%, requires a loan to value ratio of maximum 60% and the remaining balance of \$85.0 million to be paid upon maturity in April 2027. The loan can be voluntarily repaid at a price equal to 102% of par from October 2025 to April 2026 and at 101% in the following period up to January 2027. The Company has paid an instalment of \$10.0 million together with incurred interest of \$3.9 million during the third quarter and instalments totalling \$30.0 million together with incurred interest of \$12.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the outstanding principal loan balance as of September 30, 2025, was \$145.0 million.

Further, the Company has a revolving credit agreement ("RCF") of \$30.0 million for working capital financing. The credit facility can be utilized for cash withdrawals or issuance of guarantees. The revolving credit facility carries term interest of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 3.75% upon utilization and a commitment fee for the unutilized portion. Guarantees issued under the facility carries an interest of 2.0%. The facility is a super senior secured facility that has the same security package as the bond loan. The free liquidity covenant of \$15.0 million under the bond loan agreement allows for the unused portion of the RCF to be included as free liquidity. The financial covenants for the RCF are aligned with the covenants for the bond loan, plus certain standard market financial covenants. The Company had an outstanding balance of \$10.8 million as of December 31, 2024, that was used to fund certain cash and term deposits of the same amount used as collateral for performance bonds issued in relation to the current drilling contract for SSV Catarina. In February 2025, the Company drew an additional amount of \$8.0 million on the facility, and the outstanding principal balance as of March 31, 2025, was \$18.8 million. Further, the Company utilized the RCF and raised a bank guarantee of \$9.5 million in late June 2025 to replace the time deposit discussed above. As such, the Company had utilized \$28.3 million of the RCF as of June 30, 2025. The time deposit of \$9.5 million was released by the local bank in Indonesia on June 30, 2025. The funds were used to repay the outstanding balance of the RCF in July 2025, which reduced the outstanding principal loan balance from \$18.8 million to \$9.3 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has accordingly utilized a total of \$18.8 million of the RCF, comprised of \$9.3 million as a loan and \$9.5 million for the guarantee issued.

The term of the facility can be extended with six months to July 2026 for the gross amount of \$30.0 million subject to Eni exercising the optional wells under the drilling contract for SSV Catarina and a reduction of the facility to \$15.0 million without the Eni contract. At this stage, Eni has exercised two of the optional four wells that is expected to keep the vessel utilized into Q1 2026. The maturity of the loan is less than twelve months from the balance sheet date and the Company has presented \$9.3 million of the outstanding loan balance as part of Current Portion of Long-Term Debt.

Interest expenses of \$4.5 million and \$14.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, include interest expenses incurred on the senior secured bond loan and the RCF, plus amortization of deferred financing cost of \$1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Non-Current and Current portion of long-term debt consists of the following:

in USD thousands September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024

Factors impacting liquidity

As discussed in note 3, the Company announced on December 17, 2024, a new contract for DS Carolina commencing in 2026 upon expiry of the current contract and followed by contract preparation works and class inspections. The majority of the capex expenditure is expected to be incurred in 2026. However, certain long-lead items will be ordered and partly paid in late 2025 and early 2026 to have the items available during the period for contract preparation. The Company is to receive a substantial mobilization fee of approximately \$26.0 million from Petrobras under the DS Carolina contract. The mobilization fee will however not fall due until DS Carolina has commenced the new contract and after the cost of the capital expenditures has been incurred. The Company is further working towards securing a new contract for SSV Victoria upon expiry of the current contract in mid-2026, currently expected to be in August 2026, and succeeding with this would initiate a similar capex process for this unit. Should the Company be successful in securing a long-term contract on SSV Victoria, the expected capex expenditures preparing the two units for new contract is expected to require funding beyond the available liquidity of the Company as of today and expected free cash flows after debt amortisation and interest payments in the coming twelve months. Based on the above-mentioned capex expenditure and cash outlays the Company is expected to incur for the contract preparation works for the already secured contract for DS Carolina and potentially for SSV Victoria, it is expected that the Company will raise additional funds. The Company is assessing different alternatives to raise the necessary funds primarily through increase or refinancing of the currently outstanding loan facilities. It is considered that the contract secured for DS Carolina is a sound basis for progressing. However, execution and timing are expected to be impacted by developments related to new contract opportunities for SSV Victoria or contract extensions for SSV Catarina.

Note 6 Intangibles

As part of UER acquisition the Company recognized an unfavourable contract liability of \$177.1 million from current charter contracts in Brazil being below the then prevailing market rates for similar vessels. The identified unfavourable contract liability of \$177.1 million is amortized over the duration of the contracts for the two drilling units acquired from the acquisition date on May 8, 2024 to the end of the contracts in 2026. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has recognized non-cash revenues of \$19.3 million and \$64.4 million, respectively, from amortization and the remaining balance of \$53.7 million is presented in the balance sheet under Current Liabilities and will be fully amortized within the coming 12 months. The amortization in the third quarter is reduced compared to previous quarters from changes in the estimates from contractually added days to the charter contracts for the two drilling units.

The changes in the unfavourable contract liabilities balance (current and non-current portion) during the period and the ending balance are as follows:

in USD thousands
Balance as of December 31, 2024 118,080

Further, the Company had a balance as of December 31, 2024, of \$12.4 million from the UER acquisition for an acquired intangible asset related to customer relationship for the managed vessel owned by a third party to be amortized over the life of the contract. Amortization of the intangible assets balance commenced in the second quarter of 2025 when Atlantic Zonda commenced operations, and the Company has amortized \$1.0 million in the third quarter with a closing balance of \$10.6 million. Further, the Company has capitalized \$0.9 million as of September 30, 2025, related to internal-use software development.

Note 11 Income Tax

The Company is incorporated in Bermuda and is not subject to income taxes in Bermuda. Our subsidiaries are operating in several jurisdictions and are subject to local tax laws as well as interpretation thereof. Our income tax expense is a function of a deferred tax balance recognized as part of the PPA assessment related to identified unfavourable customer contracts and intangible assets from acquiring UER and income tax expense incurred in Indonesia for the operations of SSV Catarina. Income taxes in Indonesia are based on deemed profit. A deferred tax asset of \$19.8 million and a deferred tax liability of \$1.6 million were recognized related to the unfavourable contracts' liability and intangibles in the UER acquisition. The balances are reversed in line with amortization as discussed in note 6 and presented in the table below.

Note 13 Commitment and contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims in the ordinary course of business, including employee related claims. The Company has assessed these claims and the probability for a loss for the Company and recorded a provision of \$2.1 million included in Other Current Liabilities to cover such claims as of September 30, 2025.

Further, the Company has received tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service in 2008, 2009, 2017 and 2023, in connection with corporate income tax (IRPJ), social contribution on net profits (CSLL) and certain social contributions levied on gross revenue (PIS and Cofins) for the years of 2003, 2004, 2012 and 2018, respectively. These four cases are being challenged at the administrative level (Taxpayer's Council). As of September 30, 2025, there are no changes compared to December 31, 2024, in relation to these cases. Management do not believe that payment of the potential obligation related to the assessments is probable. Consequently, no provision has been raised in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company could be subject to future review and examination by taxing agencies in the jurisdiction in which the Company operates, the results of which management does not believe would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows. However, there is inherent risk in any litigation or dispute and no assurance can be given as to the final outcome of these claims and the actual results of these matters could vary materially from the Company's current assumptions.

The Company is providing bank guarantees and performance bonds to counterparties as part of its regular operations. We refer to note 8 for further details.

Note 14 Financial instruments and risks

The Company uses valuation approaches for fair value measurements that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

  • Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
  • Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
  • Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments and other financial assets:

  • The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
  • The Company raised \$55 million as a tap issue in July 2024 and increased the bond loan from \$130 million to \$185 million. The increase was done at a price of 100.5% of par value and the loan was listed on Nordic ABM at the end of September 2024. Based on observed transactions we have applied a valuation of 101.3% as the fair value at the end of the reporting period.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company`s financial instruments are as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject to the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company's cash is primarily held in major banks. Accordingly, the Company believes the risk of any potential loss on deposits held in these institutions is remote. Concentrations of credit risk relative to accounts receivable are limited to our client base in the oil and energy industry that may be affected by changes in economic or other external conditions, but the credit risk related to oil majors is considered limited. The Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company also provides management services for vessels owned by third parties. The Company is managing its risks related to this segment through collecting upfront payments for operating and capital expenditure and through collection of charter hire.

Interest rate risk

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is mainly related to the Revolving Credit Facility of \$30.0 million. The facility carries a term interest rate with short duration, plus a margin, and the Company would be subject to changes in the SOFR interest rates for the outstanding amounts. The Company's fixed rate bond loan is only subject to interest rate risk in a scenario with voluntary refinancing of the bond loan or early repayment. Cash and cash equivalents are held in bank accounts with floating interest rates and as such the Company's interest income earnings will fluctuate with changes in the market rates.

Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional currency is United States dollars, and the majority of the Company's transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in United States dollars. The Company has two vessels operating in Brazil and one vessel operating in Indonesia. The Company incurs certain operational costs in local currencies (mainly crew costs and purchases from local suppliers), which would be subject to currency fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any derivatives to mitigate this risk, as the foreign currency risk is not assumed to have a material negative impact.
