Interest rate risk management The Company manages its debt portfolio with interest rate swap agreements denominated in U.S. dollars and Norwegian kroner to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2025, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had entered into interest rate swap transactions, involving the payment of fixed rates in exchange for NIBOR or SOFR. The total net notional principal amount subject to interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2025, was $0.8 billion (December 31, 2024: $0.5 billion). Foreign currency risk management The Company is party to currency swap transactions, involving the payment of U.S. dollars in exchange for Norwegian kroner, some of which are designated as hedges against the NOK750.0 million senior unsecured floating rate bonds due 2029. The total net notional principal amount subject to cross currency swap agreements as of June 30, 2025, was NOK750.0 million (December 31, 2024: NOK1.4 billion). Apart from the NOK750 million senior unsecured floating rate bonds due 2029, the majority of the Company’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company. Other than the corresponding currency swap transactions summarized above, the Company has not entered into forward contracts for either transaction or translation risk. Accordingly, there is a risk that currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Fair Values The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, were measured as follows:

As of June 30, 2025, investment in equity securities consist of NorAm Drilling shares trading on the Euronext Growth in Oslo. The estimated fair values of the 7.25% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2026, the 8.875% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2027, the 8.25% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2028, the 7.75% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2030 and the floating rate NOK denominated bonds due 2029 are all based on their quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date. The estimated fair value of interest rate and currency swap contracts is calculated using a well-established independent valuation technique applied to contracted cash flows and NIBOR or SOFR interest rates as of June 30, 2025. Concentrations of risk There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that amounts are carried with DNB Bank ASA, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), Danske Bank A/S, ING Bank N.V and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. However, the Company believes this risk is remote, as these financial institutions are established and reputable establishments. The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk, however certain of the Company’s counterparties require the Company to periodically post collateral when the fair value of the financial instruments exceeds or is below specified thresholds. As of June 30, 2025, the other receivables balance within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets included $0.0 million (December 31, 2024: $5.0 million) in relation to cash collateral posted by the Company. There is also a concentration of revenue risk with Maersk A/S (“Maersk”), ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS (“ConocoPhillips”) and Hapag-Lloyd AG, to whom the Company charters several vessels and earns a significant proportion of its revenues.
