In other recent news, Borr Drilling Ltd reported its Q4 2024 financial results, highlighting a mixed performance. The company achieved revenue of $263.1 million, surpassing the expected $251.49 million, but its earnings per share (EPS) fell short of forecasts at $0.10 compared to the anticipated $0.1124. Despite the revenue beat, investor concerns were evident as the EPS miss was more pronounced than in previous quarters. Moody’s affirmed Borr Drilling’s B3 ratings while revising the outlook to stable, citing lower contractual coverage impacting the company’s deleveraging process. The company ended 2024 with a highly negative free cash flow of $408 million, influenced by issues with receivables collection and expenditures on new rigs. However, Borr Drilling confirmed that 75% of the delayed receivables from Petroleos Mexicanos (PeMex) are expected to be recovered at the start of 2025. Market uncertainties are anticipated in 2025, but the company foresees a gradual recovery in the latter half of the year. Moody’s projects Borr Drilling’s EBITDA to remain flat in 2025 and 2026 at around $500 million, with expectations for improved free cash flow due to lower capital investments and receivables recovery.
