1,800 employees and a 45-year track record, the company has established a strong
position in Brazil-the largest and fastest-growing segment of the global
offshore drilling industry. Constellation is currently the leader of Petrobras'
ranking of drilling contractors and offers an efficient cost position due to its
scale, operating all its rigs under one single hub in Brazil.
Constellation's shares will trade under the ticker COSH, marking a significant
step in the Company's growth trajectory and reinforcing its commitment to
governance, transparency and sustainable growth.
"The listing on Euronext Growth Oslo is a significant milestone for
Constellation and reflects the confidence that investors have in our business
model, operational efficiency and cash generation capacity. With a robust
backlog of approximately USD 2.1 billion, we ensure financial predictability and
opportunities for sustainable growth," said Rodrigo Ribeiro, CEO of
Constellation.
The Company's capital allocation and financial strategy is focused on
prioritizing debt reduction, dividend payment upon deleveraging, and maintaining
flexibility to pursue value-adding growth opportunities.
The Company completed a robust recapitalization and refinancing process in
December 2024, reducing its debt to USD 650 million with maturity in 2029 and
maintaining a cash balance of over USD 180 million.
Constellation has 1,519,918,308 outstanding shares and has not raised capital as
