Total operating expenses were US$62.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$4.9 million in Q1 2017). Total operating expenses consists of rig operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of non-current assets and general and administrative expenses.

Total rig operating, maintenance expenses and lay-up costs were US$22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$2.3 million in Q1 2017). Rig operating and maintenance expenses increased by US$20.2 million in Q1 2018 compared to Q1 2017. The increase is primarily driven by operational costs for the rigs “Frigg” and “Norve”.

Total depreciation, amortisation and impairment of non-current assets were US$12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$1.0 million in Q1 2017). Depreciation in Q1 2018 increased by US$11.2 million compared to Q1 2017 as a result of a larger fleet of jack-up drilling rigs.

Total general and administrative expenses were US$10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$1.6 million in Q1 2017). The increase of US$8.6 million compared to Q1 2017 was primarily a result of termination benefits and various professional fees in connection with the acquisition of Paragon, a larger organization and additional offices due to more rigs in operations. On a run-rate basis at present activity levels, the G&A is expected to be around US$25m excluding non-cash employee share option charges for the next 12 months.

Gain from bargain purchase was US$38.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$ nil in Q1 2017). This relates to non-cash bargain purchase gain on the Paragon acquisition.

Total restructuring expenses were US$17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$ nil in Q1 2017). This relates solely to termination payments and close-down costs linked to Paragon acquisition.

Other financial expense was US$19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (US$ nil in Q1 2017). The increase relates to unrealized loss on forward contracts of US$20.0 million. As of May 30, 2018, this forward position has since end of the quarter increased in value with approximately US$25 million.
Paragon is included in the consolidated statement of operations from March 29, 2018. Paragon contributed with operating revenues of US$1.1 million and operating expense of US$2.2 million resulting in operating loss for the period ending March 31, 2018 of US$1.1 million.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Company had total assets of US$2,137.3 million as of March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: US$1,672.3 million). Total assets increased by US$465.0 million compared to December 31, 2017 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Paragon Offshore in the first quarter and delivery of the three newbuildings “Saga”, “Gerd” and “Gersemi”. The Company took ownership of 22 jack-up drilling rigs and one semisubmersible when acquiring Paragon, whereof 15 rigs are classified as held for sale at the end of the quarter. The acquired jack-up drilling rigs’ estimated fair value is US$261 million. The delivery financing accepted on the two newbuildings, “Gerd” and “Gersemi” was US$174.0 million.

As of March 31, 2018, total equity was US$1,670.1 million which corresponds to an equity ratio of 78.1 percent. As of December 31, 2017, total equity was US$1,492.9 million which corresponds to an equity ratio of 89.3 percent.

Total liabilities as of March 31, 2018, were US$467.2 million (December 31, 2017: US$179.4 million). The increase is mainly attributable to US$174.0 million in long-term debt related to the delivery financing for the two newbuildings “Gerd” and “Gersemi”, liability to shareholders related to the March private placement of US$27.6 million and unrealized loss on forward contracts of US$15.5 million.

Net cash flow used in operating activities was US$42.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: negative US$32.6) and is explained by the net operating loss.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was US$214.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: 1,447.8). The investment activities primarily relate to the acquisition of Paragon, net of cash acquired of US$198.3 million.

Management Discussion and analysis

Consolidated Statement of Operations (Financial Performance & Operating Results)

Three months ended 30 September 2017

No operating revenues were reported for the three months ended 30 September 2017. The project commencement for Total E&P Nigeria Limited, previously scheduled for the third quarter of 2017, was delayed by the operator and will commence operations in late November 2017. The drilling campaign for BW Energy Dussafu is scheduled to start in January 2018.

Total operating expenses were US$24.9 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017. Total operating expenses consists of rig operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses.

Total rig operating and maintenance expenses were US$9.4 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017. These costs relate to stacking costs for our jack-up drilling rig fleet and re-activation costs for the rigs scheduled for new contracts.

Total depreciation and amortization was US$8.0 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017. This relates to depreciation charges for our jack-up drilling fleet.

Total general and administrative expenses were US$7.5 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017. US$2.5 million is non-cash costs related to employee benefit programs. The remaining US$5.0 million is linked to salaries, consulting fees, professional fees and one-off costs associated with the Oslo Stock Exchange listing.

Total general and administrative expenses excluding one-off costs were approximately US$4 million in the quarter.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Company has total assets of US$1,008.2 million as of September 30, 2017, (31 December 2016: US$158.1 million). The increase in total assets of the Company is primarily driven by cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds from the private placement in March 2017 and the acquisition of ten jack-up drilling rigs from Transocean Inc., and the completed asset acquisition of the two Hercules jack-up drilling rigs.

As of 30 September 2017, equity was US$916.6 million which corresponds to an equity ratio of 90.9 percent. As of 31 December 2016, equity was US$157.8 million which corresponds to an equity ratio of 99.8 percent.

Total liabilities as of 30 September 2017, were US$91.6 million (31 December 2016: US$0.2 million). The increase is mainly attributable to trade payable and accruals and a US$71.4 million non-current liability related to the onerous contract position of the five newbuilding contracts acquired from Transocean Inc.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

Net cash flow generated from operating activities was negative US$17.7 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was US$26.4 million for the three months ended 30 September 2017. The investments activities mainly relate to purchase of securities issued by a rig company for approximately US$21.3 million.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was US$8.4 million during the three months ended 30 September 2017 and relate to purchase of treasury shares.

As of 30 September 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$141.2 million (31 December 2016: US$138.1 million).

Outstanding shares

As of 30 September 2017 common shares in Borr Drilling totalled 315,792,500 shares. The Company issued 162,500,000 new shares in October, taking the total count to 478,292,500 shares. Additionally, the Board has approved up to 10 million options to be used as a long-term incentive program for the Company’s employees.

On 6 October 2017 the Company issued a further 4,736,887 warrants (“Warrants”) to Schlumberger as a consequence of signature of an enhanced collaboration agreement between the Company and Schlumberger.

Immediately thereafter, the Company agreed to repurchase all of the 9,473,774 Warrants held by Schlumberger at a price of US$ 0.50 per Warrant, US$ 4.7 million in total. Consequently, all Warrants were then cancelled.

Operations and corporate development

During the quarter the company completed the listing process and started trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on August 30, 2017. Borr Drilling will, as of 1 December 2017, be included in the OSEBX index.

On 6 October 2017 Borr and Schlumberger signed an enhanced collaboration agreement. The agreement forms an important milestone in the relationship and provides further detail around the structure and operation of this groundbreaking relationship. The two parties continue to work on a number of fronts to challenge traditional business models in the industry. The target is to offer a more flexible and efficient service to our customers.

Also on 6 October 2017 the Company signed a master agreement with PPL to purchase a total of 9 premium jack-up drilling rigs with deliveries from November 2017 into Q2 2019. All rigs are of the BMC Pacific Class 400 design. The first unit has been named “Galar” and was delivered in accordance with plan on 15 November 2017. The Board is pleased with the agreement with PPL and Borr´s growing fleet of 22 premium jack-up rigs following this transaction.

To finance the purchase, Borr completed an equity issue on 8 October 2017 raising gross proceeds of US$ 650 million. In addition, debt financing for all remaining payments to the yards was secured at attractive terms. The structure and terms of the PPL transaction attracted significant interest from a broad range of investors.

The total fleet count is currently 26 rigs.The Board consider the four older units that are cold stacked in Scotland to be non-core. More specifically, we are not actively marketing these units for drilling contracts at present given the capital investment needed to reactivate the assets and

the current day rate levels in this segment of the market. Given the significant over supply present in the market, further consolidation and scrapping of older units is needed and anticipated.

Subsequent to the third quarter, the Company realized a gain of approximately US$ 15 million on forward contracts to purchase shares in Atwood Oceanics which, due to a merger, was converted to a forward contract for Ensco shares. The Board was pleased to see that the merger between Ensco and Atwood was completed and believe this to be part of the necessary consolidation of our fragmented industry.

The Ensco position has subsequently been reduced, however Borr intends to continue to look for opportunistic equity and debt investments within our core markets. A critical criteria will be attractive valuation of underlying assets.

Contracts

The Company executed a contract with Total E&P Nigeria Limited for upcoming work in Nigeria during the quarter. Together with the contract already in place with BW Energy Dussafu, this pivotal contract with one of the most important procurers of jackup rig time reflects Borr’s growing acceptance in the marketplace.

Market

The overall jack-up market continues to show healthy tendering activity and the company is optimistic about a further increase in utilization levels going into 2018. Over the past year, Independent Cantilever (IC) jack-up rig count in our key markets (West Africa, South East Asia and Middle East) has increased by 11%. Supported by strong current tendering activity in these regions, including several multi-year opportunities, the company expect the positive trend to continue.

Customer preference for modern rigs has continued throughout the year with third quarter rig count for IC jack-ups that are less than 10 years old rising by more than 10% since the start of the year. Utilization is at the highest levels experienced since third quarter 2015. For IC jack-ups older than 10 years, the rig count is down by 7% since the beginning of 2017.

Announced attrition of jack-ups remains low with 11 jack-ups being retired in 2017, and a total of 44 removed from service since the start of the downturn. However, of the 150 jack-ups built prior to 2000 that are sitting idle, 91 have been idle for more than 2 years. The Company believe that many of these rigs require meaningful capital investment in order to return to the market, and should be considered uncompetitive and are unlikely to be reactivated without a significant improvement in day rates.

Outlook

During the quarter the company has made progress in several areas that are important to the positioning of Borr for the anticipated recovery in the offshore drilling market.

A new organisation with a total of 35 very experienced people has been established with head office in Dubai. The Board is excited to see the experience, dedication and enthusiasm shown by the new organisation in their effort to establish Borr as the leading premium Jack-up operator. Borr’s focus will be on delivering a superior drilling service to the counterparties who contract with us.

The Company continues to look for accretive assets deals that fit well with the current fleet. The purchase prices of premium jack-up rigs have risen continuously since our first acquisition late last year and the market shows potential for further improvement. Borr is positioning as a consolidator in the market, but will also be disciplined with respect to purchase price and quality of assets considered for acquisition.

The fleet has already reached the critical size necessary to achieve operational synergies and market presence. The target for the Board and management is to otimize long term returns to our current shareholders. An efficiently priced Borr equity is an absolute condition for further fleet expansion.

The level of market activity continues to improve for the premium jackup segment. We see tendering activity and utilisation in our segments continuing to develop positively with the assistance of small but directional increases in the underlying commodity price. Tendering in this phase of the market cycle can be time consuming and the visibility of opportunities, whilst improving, is developing from a challenging base. We anticipate additional backlog to be added in coming months based on the tenders we are currently participating in and/or through the projects we are developing with our industrial partners. However Borr intends to be a rational market participant and will remain focussed on opportunities that generate positive cash returns after activation investments and preserve upside in what is considered to be an improving environment. Increased free cashflow generation and anticipated growth in capital expenditure budgets across our international client base should lead to improvements in industry activity levels.

The Board is proud of what the Borr organisation has achieved and the assets acquired to date.

A unique fleet of the most modern jack-ups has been developed at historically low prices. A low cost structure combined with a strong balance sheet positions Borr preferentially relative to its competitors.

Borr Drilling Limited continues to consolidate the market for premium jack-up rigs with the acquisition of nine premium rigs from PPL

Hamilton, Bermuda, 6 October 2017

Borr Drilling Limited (“Borr Drilling” or the “Company”) today announces the signing of a Master Agreement for the acquisition of nine premium jack-up rigs from PPL Shipyard Pte Limited (“PPL”). The acquisition will increase the Borr Drilling fleet to a total of 26 jack-up rigs once all rigs under construction have been delivered and 22 of the rigs are built after 2000. The Company continues to deliver on its strategy to acquire premium jack-up drilling rigs at attractive prices and consolidate ownership in the premium segment of the overall jack-up rig fleet.

The acquired rigs have been built or are under construction at PPL’s yard and are of a well-known design consistent with the Company’s existing fleet. A large fleet of similarly designed rigs facilitates operational excellence and cost synergies. Seven out of the nine rigs have drilling packages from Cameron (a Schlumberger Limited company) while all nine rigs have Cameron BOP’s.

Total consideration for the transaction is expected to be approximately USD 1.3 billion. Borr Drilling has secured optional delivery financing of the Rigs of approximately USD 0.8 billion on attractive terms. The lender is entitled to a limited market based mechanism based on uplift in market value, less capital cost of the acquired rigs from 6 October 2017 until the repayment date of the financing.

Borr Drilling will take delivery of the first of the rigs in Q4 2017 with the remaining rigs being delivered quarterly thereafter until the last rig is delivered in Q1 2019. Borr Drilling has agreed to pay a pre-delivery instalment of approximately USD 500 million in the short term while the remaining purchase price is payable on delivery of each individual rig, which is fully financed by the delivery financing. Completion of the transaction with PPL is subject to equity financing being secured by the Company.

Please see attached an updated company presentation with details about the acquisition:

Borr Drilling Limited announce listing on the Norwegian OTC-List

Hamilton, Bermuda, December 19, 2016 – Borr Drilling Limited (“Borr Drilling or the Company”), formerly Magni Drilling Limited, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its USD155 million equity issue at USD2/share. The private placement was completed with support from renowned institutional investors and private capital with significant experience and successful track record from investing in the drilling industry. The proceeds from the placement will be used to finance the acquisition of two modern jack-ups rigs from Hercules Offshore, the Hercules Resilience and Hercules Triumph. The total consideration for the two rigs is USD130 million.
Borr Drilling’s ambition is to acquire and operate modern drilling assets purchased at a significant discount to the new build cost price. The industry continues to experience significant overcapacity and historical low activity level. We are building a platform with modern equipment, an experienced management team and a robust capital structure in order to be able to capitalise on the opportunities that will arise in this market environment.
Effective today, Mr Rune Magnus Lundetræ will join the Company as Chief Executive Officer and Mr Svend Anton Maier will join the Company as Chief Operating Officer.
“Through the acquisition of the two Super A class jack-ups, we have executed a very attractive entry into the drilling industry at close to historical low valuations. We believe Borr Drilling can serve as an effective operational platform to further drive and execute distressed asset investments to capitalise on the low assets prices and continued volatility in the offshore industry” Mr Lundetræ comments.
Borr Drilling will start trading on the Norwegian OTC list Monday December 19.
