Oslo, Norway, November 19, 2025
NorAm Drilling AS (the "Company" or "NorAm"), today reported unaudited results
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:
HIGHLIGHTS
o Reported Revenues of MUSD 23.9
o Adjusted EBITDA of MUSD 4.3
o Fleet utilization of 80.2%
o Current revenue backlog of MUSD 25.8
Marty L. Jimmerson, Chief Executive Officer of NorAm Drilling AS commented:
«During the third quarter, our teams continued their operational excellence
despite Permian land rig counts declining 6%. While Permian rig counts started
to stabilize toward the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, we
are pleased to announce that we have contracted one of our two stacked rigs. We
expect the rig to commence operations mid-December.
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 4.1 or NOK 0.96 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 Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 09:00 AM (EST) / 3:00 PM (CET).
