Borr Drilling Ltd (BORR) successfully refinanced substantially all of its debt, extending maturities, reducing financing costs, and strengthening liquidity to $473.6 million.

Borr Drilling Ltd (BORR)'s Q2 adjusted EBITDA declined by $44.7 million to $43.8 million, impacted by delays and higher costs related to the Odin rig's start-up in the U.S. Gulf.
The company recognized a $10.8 million credit loss related to a former customer in West Africa, fully providing for the receivable.
The ongoing Middle East conflict led to higher insurance and fuel costs, contributing a $7.3 million quarter-on-quarter increase in rig operating expenses.
Borr Drilling Ltd (BORR) reported a net loss of $241.4 million for Q2, largely due to a $176.3 million loss on debt extinguishment from refinancing activities.
The Middle East conflict has delayed tendering and contracting activity, with backlog additions in the region reaching the lowest levels in more than 25 years, creating near-term uncertainty.
The company anticipates additional incremental operating expenses of $6 million to $9 million in Q3 related to Odin preparations, and expects elevated insurance costs to linger until the conflict is resolved.
