While taking into account certain restrictions on the sales of assets under our Indenture dated as of April 19, 2023 (the "Indenture”) and within the Business Combination Agreement (as defined within "Note 15 - Subsequent Events"), as part of our strategy, we may act opportunistically from time to time to sell assets to enhance shareholder value. Additionally, we may consider retiring assets that no longer meet our standards for economic returns. Gains recognized on sales of assets are included in Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we approved a plan to retire VALARIS DPS-1, a semisubmersible rig within our Floaters segment. VALARIS DPS-1 was reclassified from Property and equipment, net to Assets held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheets during the fourth quarter of 2025.

In connection with the held-for-sale classification of VALARIS DPS-1, we recognized a non-cash loss on impairment of $15.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, which represents the amount of carrying value that exceeded its estimated fair value less costs to sell. We estimated the fair value using a probability-weighted market approach based on recent transactions involving comparable assets, non-binding independent broker quotes and management assumptions, all of which are considered Level 3 inputs due to the level of estimation involved.

Assets Sold

Sale of VALARIS 102 and VALARIS 145

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we approved a plan to retire two rigs within our Jackups segment, VALARIS 102 and VALARIS 145 (collectively, the "Retired Jackups"). The Retired Jackups were sold for recycling and permanently removed from service in December 2025 for total cash proceeds of $0.5 million.

In connection with the sale of the Retired Jackups, we recognized a non-cash loss on impairment of $3.7 million, which represents the amount of carrying value that exceeded the disposal group's aggregate fair value less costs to sell. We estimated the fair value using the contractual sales price within the executed sale agreement for the Retired Jackups, which is considered a Level 2 input.

Sale of VALARIS 247

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold VALARIS 247, a rig within our Jackups segment, and collected cash proceeds of approximately $108.0 million. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $88.4 million in connection with the sale.

Sale of Retired Semis

In the first quarter of 2025, we approved a plan to retire three semisubmersible rigs within our Floaters segment, VALARIS DPS-3, VALARIS DPS-5, and VALARIS DPS-6 (collectively, the “Retired Semis”). In April 2025, the Retired Semis were sold for recycling and permanently removed from service for total cash proceeds of $10.0 million.

In connection with the retirement of the Retired Semis, we recognized a non-cash loss on impairment of $7.8 million, which represents the amount of carrying value that exceeded the disposal group's aggregate fair value less costs to sell. We estimated the fair value using a market approach based on the preliminary sale agreement for the Retired Semis, which is considered a Level 3 input due to the level of estimation involved since the sale had not yet been completed at the time of our analysis.

Sale of VALARIS 75

In the first quarter of 2025, VALARIS 75, a rig within our Jackups segment which had an immaterial net book value, was sold resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $23.0 million. Of the proceeds, $14.0 million was collected upon closing, $5.0 million was collected in January 2026 and the remaining $5.0 million is expected to be received on the second anniversary of the closing.
Sale of Angola Office Building

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold an office building in Angola for cash proceeds of $5.2 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million. Of the proceeds, approximately $2.5 million was collected in 2024 and $2.7 million was collected in 2025.

Sale of VALARIS 54

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $27.3 million for the sale of VALARIS 54.
