Oslo, Norway, August 25, 2025
NorAm Drilling AS (the “Company” or “NorAm”), today reported unaudited results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:
HIGHLIGHTS
• Reported Revenues of MUSD 25.0
• Adjusted EBITDA of MUSD 5.3
• Fleet utilization of 86.0%
• Current backlog of MSUD 12.2
Marty L. Jimmerson, Chief Executive Officer of NorAm Drilling AS commented:
«During the second quarter, the Company continued its operational excellence despite Permian land rig counts declining 10%. Market sentiment remained cautious as a result of economic and geopolitical uncertainties. As a result, E&Ps continue demonstrating operational and production discipline which contributed to the decline of 29 rigs operating in the Permian during the quarter.
With our industry low cost-base and zero debt, we continue to return capital to shareholders despite market headwinds, and this demonstrates the strength of our unique model. We paid MUSD 5.3 or NOK 1.24 per share in monthly dividends in the quarter and have declared two additional dividends after quarter end. Our rigs are among the very top performers measured in feet drilled per day in the U.S shale market, and NorAm should be well positioned in a market recovery».
In connection with the release, the Company invites to a live presentation and Q&A on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 09:00 AM (EST) / 3:00 PM (CET).
