Overview
We are an offshore shallow-water drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry. Our primary business is the ownership, contracting and operation of jack-up rigs for operation in shallow-water areas (i.e., in water depths up to approximately 400 feet), including the provision of related equipment and work crews to conduct oil and gas drilling and workover operations for exploration and production customers. As of September 30, 2024, we had 23 premium jack-up rigs and had agreed to purchase one additional premium jack-up rig under construction.
Recent Developments
Delisting from the Oslo Stock Exchange

Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2023
Net income / (loss): Net income increased by $62.1 million to net income of $55.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $6.3 million in the same period in 2023. The increase in net income is primarily a result of an increase in total operating revenue, offset in part by an increase in rig operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation of non-current assets, total financial expenses, net and income tax expense, as discussed below.
Total operating revenues: Total operating revenues increased by $196.5 million to $747.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $551.0 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is a result of an increase in dayrate revenue of $166.2 million, of which $76.1 million is attributable to an increase in the number of rigs in operation, $85.9 million is attributable to an increase in average dayrates and $15.6 million is attributable to other revenue, which is primarily comprised of amortization of deferred mobilization and demobilization revenue and reimbursable revenue. These increases were offset by a decrease of $11.4 million related to a decrease in the number of operating days for the rigs that were already in operation during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in total operating revenues includes an increase in bareboat charter revenue of $65.3 million which is attributable to the execution of new fixed bareboat charter agreements for five of our rigs with an external party during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and an increase in management contract revenue of $23.8 million which is attributable to the execution of new contract management agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2024, pursuant to which we provide rig operational and maintenance support services for three of our rigs which are on bareboat contracts with an external party. These increases were offset by a decrease in related party revenue of $58.8 million which is driven by the fact that the five rigs earning bareboat charter revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were previously earning related party revenue for the same period in 2023.
Gain on disposal: Gain on disposal was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2023. The gain on disposal for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 relate to the sale of scrap assets.
Rig operating and maintenance expenses: Rig operating and maintenance expenses increased by $81.6 million to $342.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $260.8 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in the number of rigs in operation as well as a result of the execution of new rig management contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2024 pursuant to which we provide rig operational and maintenance support services for three of our rigs which are on bareboat contracts with an external party. The expenses associated with these three rigs were previously recognized in our equity method investment, Perfomex.
Depreciation of non-current assets: Depreciation of non-current assets increased by $8.9 million to $95.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $86.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily a result of an increase of $4.7 million associated with the increase in the asset base primarily due to additions for the jack-up rigs Arabia III and Hild and fleet spares and an increase of $4.2 million related to long-term maintenance projects primarily due to additions for the jack-up rigs Prospector 1, Idun, Natt and Ran and fleet spares.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million to $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $34.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily comprised of a $2.8 million increase in personnel and associated personnel tax expense as well as various individually insignificant movements associated with general corporate activities, offset in part by a $0.4 million decrease in share base compensation expense and social security expense associated with our employee share option plan.
Income from equity method investments: Income from equity method investments decreased by $6.1 million to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily a result of an increase of $10.6 million in net foreign exchange losses, partially offset by a decrease of $6.2 million in income tax expense.
Total financial expenses, net: Total financial expenses, net, increased by $30.0 million to $170.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $140.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is principally due to an increase of $32.6 million in interest expense, primarily related to an increase in the principal amount of debt outstanding. In addition, the increase includes a $2.3 million increase in relation to the premium paid on Convertible Bonds which the Company repurchased in March 2024, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in net foreign exchange losses, $1.4 million decrease in yard cost cover expense, a $1.2 million increase in interest income as well as various individually insignificant movements associated with financing activities.
Income tax expense: Income tax expense increased by $5.3 million to $48.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $43.3 million for the same period in 2023. The overall increase is principally due to a $6.7 million utilization of deferred tax assets offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in corporate income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased by $112.4 million to $368.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $256.3 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this measure increases comparability of underlying business performance from period to period and may be used to more easily compare our performance to other companies. Set forth below is how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income / (loss) for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 has been recast as per the updated definition of Adjusted EBITDA. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Repurchase of $10.6 million Unsecured Convertible Bonds due 2028
In February 2023 we issued $250.0 million unsecured convertible bonds due in February 2028. The Convertible Bonds have a coupon of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments. In March 2024, we repurchased $10.6 million principal amount of Convertible Bonds.
Following the payment of a $0.05 per share cash distribution in each of January and March 2024, as well as the payment of a $0.10 per share cash distribution in each of June and August 2024, the adjusted conversion price for the convertible bonds is $7.0249 per share, with the current outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bonds convertible into 34,078,777 shares.
The Company and its subsidiaries may from time to time further repurchase or otherwise trade in its own debt in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Issuance of Additional 10% Senior Secured Notes Due 2028 and 10.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2030
In March 2024 and August 2024, we issued $200.0 million and $150.0 million principal amount of additional 10% Senior Secured Notes due in 2028, respectively, under the same terms and conditions as the $1,025.0 million Senior Secured Note due 2028 issued in November 2023. In October 2024, we issued $175.0 million principal amount of additional 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due in 2030 under the same indenture and with the same terms and conditions as the $515.0 million Senior Secured Notes due in 2030 issued in November 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this report includes the non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not uniformly defined by all companies and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures used by other companies.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company changed its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the adjustment for amortization of deferred mobilization and contract preparations costs as well as the adjustment for amortization of deferred mobilization, demobilization and other revenue. We believe that this change enables us to be more closely aligned with the calculation methodology used by many of our industry peers. Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented has been updated as per the definition below.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Non-GAAP Measure | Closest Equivalent to GAAP Measure | Definition | Rationale for Presentation of this non-GAAP Measure |
Adjusted EBITDA | Net income / (loss) attributable to shareholders of Borr Drilling Limited | Net income / (loss) adjusted for: depreciation of non-current assets; (loss) / income from equity method investments; total financial expenses, net; and income tax expense. | Increases the comparability of total business performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies by excluding the results of our equity investments and removing the impact of depreciation, financing and tax items. |
| | | |
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves the comparability of period-to-period results and is representative of our underlying performance, although Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations, including not reflecting our cash requirements for capital or deferred costs, rig reactivation costs, newbuild rig activation costs, contractual commitments, taxes, working capital or debt service. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Borr Drilling Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - General Information
Borr Drilling Limited was incorporated in Bermuda on August 8, 2016. We are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange ("OSE") and on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker "BORR". We have applied to delist our shares from the OSE and the OSE has approved such application on November 1, 2024. The last day of trading for the Company on the OSE will be on December 30, 2024. Borr Drilling Limited is an international offshore drilling contractor providing services to the oil and gas industry. Our primary business is the ownership, contracting and operation of modern jack-up drilling rigs for operations in shallow-water areas (i.e., in water depths up to approximately 400 feet), including the provision of related equipment and work crews to conduct drilling of oil and gas wells and workover operations for exploration and production customers. As of September 30, 2024, we had 23 premium jack-up rigs and had agreed to purchase one additional premium jack-up rig under construction which is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2024.
As used herein, and unless otherwise required by the context, the terms “Company,” “Borr”, “we,” “Group,” “our” and words of similar nature refer to Borr Drilling Limited and its consolidated companies. The use herein of such terms as “group”, “organization”, “we”, “us”, “our” and “its”, or references to specific entities, is not intended to be a precise description of corporate relationships.
Note 2 - Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required under U.S. GAAP in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 31, 2023 was derived from our audited annual financial statements. The amounts are presented in millions of United States dollars ("U.S. dollar" or "$"), unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements are reflected in the interim periods presented.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are consistent with those followed in preparation of our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the revenue and marketable equity securities accounting policies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the revenue accounting policy was updated as a result of the execution of bareboat charter agreements and operating and maintenance agreements with third-parties and the marketable equity securities accounting policy was included as a result of the Company's investment in equity securities.
Revenue
The Company performs services that represent a single performance obligation under its drilling contracts. This performance obligation is satisfied over time. The Company earns revenues primarily by performing the following activities: (i) providing the drilling rig, work crews, related equipment and services necessary to operate the rig (ii) delivering the drilling rig by mobilizing to and demobilizing from the drilling location, and (iii) performing certain pre-operating activities, including rig preparation activities or equipment modifications required for the contract.
The Company recognizes revenues earned under drilling contracts based on variable dayrates, which range from full operating dayrates to lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted, based on the specific activities performed during the contract. The total transaction price is determined for each individual contract by estimating both fixed and variable consideration expected to be earned over the firm term of the contract and may include the blending of rates when a contract has operating dayrates that change over the firm term of the contract. Such dayrate consideration is attributed to the distinct time period to which it relates within the contract term, and therefore is recognized as the Company performs the services.
The Company recognizes revenues earned in relation to contract management agreements where we provide rig operational and maintenance support services to third parties based either on a cost-plus or dayrate basis. Such consideration is attributed to the distinct time period to which it relates within the contract term, and therefore is recognized as the Company performs the services.
The Company recognizes revenues earned in relation to certain bareboat charter agreements where we lease our owned rigs to third parties based on fixed daily rates, which range from operating rates to stand-by rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted, based on the specific activities performed during the contract. The total transaction price is determined for each individual contract by estimating both fixed and variable consideration expected to be earned over the firm term of the contract and may include the blending of rates when a contract has fixed daily rates that change over the firm term of the contract. Such fixed daily rate consideration is attributed to the distinct time period to which it relates within the contract term, and therefore is recognized as the Company performs the services.
The Company recognizes reimbursement revenues and the corresponding costs, gross, at a point in time, as the Company provides the customer-requested goods and services, when such reimbursable costs are incurred while performing drilling operations. Reimbursable revenues are recognized in 'Dayrate revenue' in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Prior to performing drilling operations, the Company may receive pre-operating revenues, on either a fixed lump-sum or variable dayrate basis, for mobilization, contract preparation, customer-requested goods and services or capital upgrades or other upfront payments, which the Company recognizes over time in line with the satisfaction of the performance obligation. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, the associated revenue is allocated to the overall performance obligation and recognized ratably over the expected term of the related drilling contract. We record a contract liability for mobilization fees received, which is amortized ratably to dayrate revenue as services are rendered over the initial term of the related drilling contract.
We may receive fees (on either a fixed lump-sum or variable dayrate basis) for the demobilization of our rigs. Demobilization revenue expected to be received upon contract completion is estimated as part of the overall transaction price at contract inception and recognized over the term of the contract. In most of our contracts, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood and amount of expected demobilization revenue to be received as the amount may vary dependent upon whether or not the rig has additional contracted work following the contract. Therefore, the estimate for such revenue may be constrained, depending on the facts and circumstances pertaining to the specific contract. We assess the likelihood of receiving such revenue based on past experience and knowledge of the market conditions.
Investment in marketable equity securities
Investment in marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value each reporting period with the related gains and losses, including unrealized, recognized in “Other financial expenses, net” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We classify our investment in marketable equity securities as current assets because the securities are available to be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary, even if it is not the intention to dispose of the securities in the next twelve months.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adoption of new accounting standards
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: 1) The fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; 2) The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s) and 3) The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). These amendments are effective for the Company from January 1, 2024. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our unaudited consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01 Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. The amendments provide a practical expedient for private companies and not-for-profit entities that are not conduit bond obligors to use the written terms and conditions of a common control arrangement to determine whether a lease exists and, if so, the classification of and accounting for that lease. If no written terms and conditions exist (including in situations in which an entity does not document existing unwritten terms and conditions in writing upon transition to the practical expedient), an entity is prohibited from applying the practical expedient and must evaluate the enforceable terms and conditions to apply Topic 842. Also, the amendments require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be: 1) Amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset (the leased asset) through a lease. However, if the lessor obtained the right to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease with another entity not within the same common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group; 2) Accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity (or net assets for not-for-profit entities) if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. Additionally, those leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. These amendments are effective for the Company from January 1, 2024. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our unaudited consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes the net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). These amendments are effective for the Company from January 1, 2024. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our unaudited consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this Update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this Update: 1) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment
expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; 2) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; 3) Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; 4) Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. However, at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entity’s consolidated financial statements; 5) Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; 6) Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods beginning from January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and no material impact on our related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Standard | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters |
ASU 2023-05 Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement | The amendments in this Update address the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to: (1) provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively, investors) in a joint venture’s financial statements; and (2) reduce diversity in practice. To reduce diversity in practice and provide decision-useful information to a joint venture’s investors, the Board decided to require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation, resulting in a joint venture, upon formation, being required to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). | January 1, 2025 | Under evaluation |
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures | The amendments in this Update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). A public business entity is required to provide an explanation, if not otherwise evident, of the individual reconciling items disclosed, such as the nature, effect, and underlying causes of the reconciling items and the judgment used in categorizing the reconciling items. The other amendments in this Update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. | January 1, 2025 | Under evaluation |
ASU 2024-01: Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) | The amendments in this Update improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The fact patterns in the illustrative example focus on the scope conditions in paragraph 718-10-15-3. The illustrative example is intended to reduce (1) complexity in determining whether a profits interest award is subject to the guidance in Topic 718 and (2) existing diversity in practice. | January 1, 2025 | Under evaluation |
As of November 6, 2024, the FASB have issued further updates not included above. We do not currently expect any of these updates to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures either on transition or in future periods.
Note 4 - Segment Information
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, we had a single reportable segment: our operations performed under our dayrate model (which includes rig charters and ancillary services). Our CODM, our Board of Directors, reviews financial information provided as an aggregate sum of assets, liabilities and activities that exist to generate cash flows, by our single operating segment. Given that we only have a single reportable segment, allocation of resources by our CODM is not determined by segment profit or loss.

Note 5 - Contracts with Customers
Contract Assets and Liabilities
When the right to consideration becomes unconditional based on the contractual billing schedule, accrued revenue is recognized. At the point that accrued revenue is billed, trade accounts receivable are recognized. Payment terms on invoice amounts are typically 30 days.
Deferred mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation revenue includes revenues received for rig mobilization as well as preparation and upgrade activities, in addition to demobilization revenues expected to be received upon contract commencement and other lump-sum revenues relating to the firm periods of our contracts. These revenues are allocated to the overall performance obligation and recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial firm term of the contracts.
The following presents our contract assets and liabilities from our contracts with customers:

Timing of Revenue
The Company derives its revenue from contracts with customers for the transfer of goods and services, from various activities performed both at a point in time and over time, under the output method.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, 2024 | Three months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | Nine months ended September 30, 2023 |

Point in time | 5.6 | | 5.2 | | 18.8 | | 17.6 | |
Total | 241.6 | | 191.5 | | 747.5 | | 551.0 | |
Revenue on existing contracts, where performance obligations are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the balance sheet date, is expected to be recognized as follows as at September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the periods ending September 30, |
(In $ millions) | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 onwards |
Dayrate revenue | 910.2 | | 314.3 | | 116.4 | | 127.0 | |
Other revenue (1) | 51.1 | | 32.5 | | 15.0 | | 17.1 | |
Total | 961.3 | | 346.8 | | 131.4 | | 144.1 | |
(1) Other revenue represents lump sum revenue associated with contract preparation and mobilization and is recognized ratably over the initial firm term of the associated contract in "Dayrate revenue" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Contract Costs
Deferred mobilization and contract preparation costs relate to costs incurred to prepare a rig for contract and delivery or to mobilize a rig to the drilling location. We defer pre‑operating costs, such as contract preparation and mobilization costs, and recognize such costs on a straight‑line basis, over the estimated firm period of the drilling contract. Costs incurred for the demobilization of rigs at contract completion are recognized as incurred during the demobilization period.
| | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
(In $ millions) | | | |
Current deferred mobilization and contract preparation costs | 33.6 | | 39.4 | | |
Non-current deferred mobilization and contract preparation costs (1) | 28.6 | | 42.6 | | |
Total deferred mobilization and contract preparation asset | 62.2 | | 82.0 | | |
(1) Non-current deferred mobilization and contract preparation costs are included in "Other non-current assets" in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 15 - Other Non-Current Assets).
Deferred mobilization and contract preparation costs decreased by $19.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $62.2 million, from $82.0 million as of December 31, 2023 as a result of additional deferred costs of $25.3 million primarily relating to the contract preparations of the rigs "Gerd", "Hild", "Idun" and "Arabia I", offset by amortization of $45.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Note 6 - Equity Method Investments
We own a 51% interest in two Mexico-based joint ventures, Perfomex and Perfomex II. We previously provided five jack-up rigs on bareboat charters to these joint ventures. These joint ventures previously provided dayrate drilling services to Opex Perforadora S.A. de C.V. (“Opex”) and Perforadora Profesional AKAL I, SA de CV (“Akal”), which both provide integrated well services to Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”). Opex and Akal are wholly owned by Operadora Productora y Exploradora Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (“Operadora”), a fully owned subsidiary of Proyectos Globales de Energia y Servicos CME, S.A. DE C.V. (“CME”). CME owns the remaining 49% interest in our joint ventures Perfomex and Perfomex II.
Effective January 1, 2024, Perfomex and Opex agreed to terminate the Drilling and Technical Services Agreements ("DTSAs") for the jack-up rigs "Grid" and "Gersemi" which triggered a termination fee payable by Opex to Perfomex of $14 million, or $7 million per Borr jack-up rig operated by Perfomex. Effective April 1, 2024, Perfomex and Opex agreed to terminate the DTSAs for the jack-up rigs "Galar", "Odin" and "Njord" which triggered a further termination fee payable by Opex to Perfomex of $21 million, or $7 million per Borr jack-up rig. The associated bareboat charter agreements between Perfomex and the Company were also terminated. Effective the same dates as the termination dates referenced above, the Company entered into new fixed rate bareboat charter agreements for the jack-up rigs "Grid", "Gersemi", "Galar", "Odin" and "Njord" with Irish Energy Drilling Assets, DAC ("Irco"). The new bareboat charter agreements remain in effect until December 31, 2025.
In addition, effective January 1, 2024, Perfomex entered into new Drilling, Operation and Management Agreements ("DO&M Agreements") with Perforadora Ircomex, S.A. DE C.V. ("Ircomex") to provide drilling, operations and management services for the Borr jack-up rigs "Grid" and "Gersemi", plus third-party owned jack-up rigs "CME I" and "CME II". Effective April 1, 2024, DO&M Agreements were also entered into by Borr Drilling Contracting S. de R.L. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Ircomex, to provide drilling, operations and management services for the Borr jack-up rigs "Galar", "Odin" and "Njord". These DO&M Agreements are based on a cost-plus pricing model and remain in effect until December 31, 2025.
Irco and Ircomex will continue to provide the jack-up rigs "Grid","Gersemi","Galar", "Odin" and "Njord" and accompanying operational services to Opex, to service its integrated well services contract with Pemex.

Note 9 - Taxation
Borr Drilling Limited is a Bermuda company and is currently not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on ordinary income or capital gains under a tax exemption granted by the Minister of Finance in Bermuda until March 31, 2035. In December 2023, the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act was enacted and will apply from January 1, 2025, with a statutory rate of 15%. We operate through various subsidiaries, affiliates and branches in numerous countries throughout the world and are subject to tax laws, policies, treaties and regulations, as well as the interpretation or enforcement thereof, in jurisdictions in which we or any of our subsidiaries, affiliates and branches operate, were incorporated, or are otherwise considered to have a tax presence. Our income tax expense is based upon our interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time that the expense was incurred.
Total pre-tax (loss) / income is comprised of the following by jurisdiction:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, 2024 | Three months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | Nine months ended September 30, 2023 |

Total | 25.2 | | 14.9 | | 104.4 | | 37.0 | |
The change in the effective tax rate from period to period is primarily attributable to changes in the profitability or loss mix of our operations in various jurisdictions. As our operations continually change among numerous jurisdictions and methods of taxation in these jurisdictions vary greatly, there is little direct correlation between the income tax provision or benefit and income or loss before taxes. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes.
Income tax (expense) / benefit is comprised of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, 2024 | Three months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | Nine months ended September 30, 2023 |

| | | | |
The deferred tax assets related to our net operating losses were primarily generated in the United Kingdom and will not expire. We recognize a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could increase or decrease in the near term if estimates of future taxable income change.
In response to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting initiative, a 15% worldwide minimum tax implemented on a country-by-country basis has been introduced with many jurisdictions committed to a January 1, 2024, effective date. There remain a number of uncertainties around the final Pillar 2 model rules, and we are closely monitoring developments on this initiative.
Additionally, on December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act which imposes a 15% tax on Bermuda businesses that are part of multinational enterprise (MNE) groups. The effective date of the income tax is for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. We are actively monitoring the evolving developments of these regulations and evaluating their potential impact on future periods. At present, we expect that they will not have a substantial impact on our financial results in the short term.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2024, 7,744,993 share options and 862,780 restricted stock units and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 6,428,336 share options and 862,780 restricted stock units using the treasury stock method, have been included as they are dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, 8,559,698 share options and 88,584 restricted stock units using the treasury stock method, have been included as they are dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding includes 12,331,900 and 14,443,270 shares as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 shares, respectively, which have been issued as part of a share lending arrangement relating to the Company's issuance of $250.0 million Convertible Bonds in 2023 (see Note 23 - Common Shares).
The following potential share issuances effects of Convertible Bonds, share options, RSUs and performance units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for each of the periods presented because the effects were anti-dilutive.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, 2024 | Three months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | Nine months ended September 30, 2023 |

Restricted share units | — | | — | | — | | 88,584 | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of 5,090,000 share options and 750,000 performance share units were anti-dilutive as the exercise price was higher than the average share price, and therefore have been excluded from the calculation. In addition, 34,078,777 shares issuable upon exercise of our convertible bonds due in May 2028 with a conversion price of $7.0249 per share have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of 6,406,657 share options and 750,000 performance share units using the treasury stock method were anti-dilutive, as the exercise price was higher than the average share price, and therefore have been excluded from the calculation. In addition, 34,078,777 shares issuable upon exercise of our convertible bonds due in May 2028 with a conversion price of $7.0249 per share have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the impact of 60,000 share options, 500,000 performance share units and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the impact of 8,619,698 share options, 500,000 performance share units and 88,584 restricted stock units using the
treasury stock method were anti-dilutive, as the exercise price was higher than the average share price, and therefore have been excluded from the calculation. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, 34,027,031 shares issuable upon exercise of our convertible bonds due in May 2028 with a conversion price of $7.3471 per share, have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.
Diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 does not include the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments listed above, due to loss sustained in this period as this was deemed to have an anti-dilutive effect on our EPS.

In August 2024, the Company increased the $30.0 million Guarantee Facility to $45.0 million, bringing the total Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility to $195.0 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company drew down and subsequently repaid $85.0 million of the RCF to facilitate the delivery of the jack-up rig '"Vali" due to the timing between the delivery of the rig and the proceeds received from the Further Additional 2028 notes issued in August 2024.
Repurchase of Unsecured Convertible Bonds due 2028 (Convertible Bonds)
In February 2023, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured convertible bonds, which mature in February 2028. The initial conversion price was $7.3471 per share, convertible into 34,027,031 common shares. In March 2024 we repurchased $10.6 million of the Convertible Bonds at an average price of 120.88% of par for a total consideration of $12.9 million, inclusive of accrued interest, and recognized a loss in "Other financial expenses, net" of $2.3 million. Following the payment of a $0.05 per share cash distribution in each of January and March 2024 as well as a $0.10 per share cash distribution in each of June 2024 and September 2024, the adjusted conversion price is $7.02490 per share, with the current amount of convertible bonds convertible into 34,078,777 shares. The convertible bonds have a coupon of 5% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments. The terms and conditions governing our convertible bonds contain customary events of default, including failure to pay any amount due on the bonds when due, and certain restrictions, including, among others, restrictions on disposal of assets and our ability to carry out any merger or corporate reorganization, subject to exceptions.

Note 21 - Related Party Transactions
a) Transactions with entities over which we have significant influence
We provided three rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex to service its contracts with Opex and two rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex II to service its contract with Akal. Perfomex and Perfomex II provided the jack-up rigs under traditional dayrate and technical service agreements ("DTSAs") to Opex and Akal, respectively. This structure enabled Opex and Akal to provide bundled integrated well services to Pemex. Effective October 20, 2022 until December 31, 2023, we provided all five rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex, to service its contracts with Opex. The bareboat revenue from these contracts was recognized as "Related party revenue" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Effective January 1, 2024, Perfomex and Opex agreed to terminate the DTSAs for the jack-up rigs "Grid" and "Gersemi" and effective April 1, 2024, Perfomex and Opex agreed to terminate the DTSAs for the jack-up rigs "Galar", "Odin" and "Njord". The associated bareboat charter agreements between Perfomex and the Company were also terminated. Effective the same dates as the termination dates referenced above, the Company entered into new fixed rate bareboat charter agreements for the jack-up rigs with an unrelated party, which has agreed to provide the five rigs to service Opex's contract with Pemex. As such, effective April 1, 2024, we do not provide rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex (see Note 6 - Equity Method Investments and Note 14 - Leases).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the bareboat revenues from our related parties consisted of the following:

(1) Magni Partners Limited ("Magni") is a party to a Corporate Services Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which it provides strategic advice and assists in sourcing investment opportunities, financing and other such services as the Company wishes to engage, at the Company's option. There is both a fixed and variable element of the agreement, with the fixed cost element representing Magni's fixed costs and any variable element being at the Company's discretion. Mr. Tor Olav Trøim, the Chairman of our Board, is the sole owner of Magni. Effective January 1, 2024, the fixed element of the agreement was terminated, while the remaining terms of the agreement continue to remain in force.
(2) Mr. Tor Olav Trøim, the Chairman of our Board, is the sole owner of Drew Holdings Limited ("Drew"). In January 2023 Drew entered into a Share Lending Framework Agreement ("SLFA") with the Company and DNB Markets for the purposes of facilitating investors’ hedging activities in connection with the Senior Unsecured Convertible bonds due 2028. In order to make the Company's shares available for lending, and only until a certain number of new shares were issued by the Company in connection with such lending arrangement, Drew made up to 15 million shares available to DNB Markets under the SLFA to facilitate such lending to the convertible bond investors requiring such hedging activities. Under the terms of the SLFA, the Company incurred fees payable to Drew for the shares available for lending. As at December 31, 2023, Drew is no longer a party to the SLA (see Note 23 - Common Shares).
(3) Front End Limited Company ("Front End") owns 3% of Borr Arabia Well Drilling LLC, an entity that is consolidated by Borr Drilling Limited and incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the "KSA"). Front End is a party to a Management Agreement with Borr Arabia Well Drilling LLC to provide management services in the KSA, for which it receives a management fee.
In addition, in January 2023, the Company recognized $1.3 million payable to Magni under a Call-off Contract to cover direct costs related to assistance in relation to the Unsecured Convertible Bonds and Secured Bonds completed in February 2023 and in November 2023, the Company recognized $1.0 million payable to Magni under a Call-off Contract to cover direct costs related to assistance in relation to 2028 and 2030 Notes completed in November 2023. As these costs are directly attributable to the issuance of these bonds, these amounts were recognized as deferred finance charges, presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the associated facilities and are amortized over the term of the facilities as "Interest Expense" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 22 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We recognize our fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on reliability of inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Share Lending Agreement
In connection with the Convertible Bonds (see Note 18 - Debt), during 2023, the Company entered into a Share Lending Framework Agreement ("SLFA") with DNB Markets ("DNB") and Drew Holdings Limited ("Drew") with the intention of making up to 25.0 million common shares ("Issuer Lending Shares") available to lend to DNB for the purposes of allowing the holders of the New Convertible Bonds to perform hedging activities on the OSE. The SLFA contains a provision that the Issuer Lending Shares be available only for trading on the OSE. At the date of the execution of the SLFA, the Company did not have a sufficient number of common shares available for trading on the OSE and therefore began the process of issuing new shares and making them available for trading on the OSE by way of a listing prospectus (the “Prospectus Event”).
The Company and Drew, a shareholder of the Company, separately entered into a Share Loan Agreement (“SLA”) in which Drew would make up to 15.0 million of its shares available to DNB (“Drew Shares”) until the Prospectus Event. During this period, the Company would lend to Drew 15.0 million of its shares that were not yet available for trading on the OSE. The Prospectus Event occurred on April 19, 2023, at which time Drew returned such shares back to Borr. In addition, DNB borrowed an equivalent amount of Drew Shares from Borr to redeliver these shares back to Drew (the “Settlement”).
The "Loan Period" of the SLFA is defined as the earlier of (a) the date the SLFA is terminated (b) any date the convertible bonds are either redeemed or converted into the Company’s shares in full and (c) the maturity date of the convertible bond in 2028. At the expiration of the Loan Period, DNB must return all of the Issuer Lending Shares back to Borr. During the Loan Period, if an investor returns any lending share to DNB, DNB shall return such lending shares back to the Company immediately. The Company receives no proceeds from lending out the Issuer Lending Shares to DNB. DNB must charge each investor a lending fee of a maximum of 0.5% per annum in which for the first six months from the date of the SLFA, the Company agrees to compensate DNB so that the lending fee DNB receives in total will be 1.0% per annum. There is no compensation that the Company pays DNB for returning the Issuer Lending Shares to the Company. There is no unilateral mechanism given to either party in choosing to settle in cash except for a very limited scenario involving default. DNB is not required to provide collateral for borrowing the shares. There are no dividends paid to DNB as a result of lending out the Issuer Lending Shares.
At issuance, the share lending agreement was accounted for under ASC 470-20 as a "Deferred Finance Charge" of the Convertible Bonds, with an offset to "Additional Paid in Capital" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The share lending agreement was measured at a fair value in accordance with ASC 820 at inception and the Company recognized $12.4 million accordingly.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had loaned 12,331,900 shares in total to DNB for the purposes of allowing the holders of the New Convertible Bonds to perform hedging activities on the OSE.
As of September 30, 2024, the unamortized amount of the issuance costs associated with the SLFA was $2.5 million ($2.5 million as at December 31, 2023) included in "Short-term debt" and $5.8 million ($7.6 million as at December 31, 2023) included in "Long-term debt" in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 $0.6 million and $1.8 million of amortization of issuance costs associated with the SLFA was recognized in "Interest expense" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.6 million and $1.7 million of amortization of issuance costs associated with the SLFA were recognized.
Share option plan
On September 2, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to grant 2,990,000 share options under the Company's approved share options scheme to certain of its employees. Each share option gives the right to subscribe to one share in the Company. The options have a strike price of $6.68 and vest over a three-year period commencing on August 15, 2025 and expire after five years.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 293,369 treasury shares following the exercise of 293,369 options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 704,705 treasury shares following the exercise of 704,705 share options.

Note 24 - Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2024, at the Special General Meeting of the Company, a resolution was passed to approve the delisting of the Company's common shares from the OSE, and to authorize the Board of Directors to take the necessary steps to implement the delisting, including filing an application with the OSE. The Company filed the application for delisting with the OSE on October 2, 2024 which was approved by the OSE on November 1, 2024. The last day of trading for the Company on the OSE will be December 30, 2024.
In October 2024, we priced an offering of additional 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due in 2030 for gross proceeds of approximately $175.0 million ('the Additional 2023 Notes'). The Additional 2030 Notes will have the same terms and conditions as the existing $515.0 million Senior Secured Notes due 2030 issued in November 2023. Settlement of the notes offering is expected on or about November 8, 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
On November 6, 2024, the Company declared a cash distribution of $0.02 per share, which is expected to be paid to our shareholders on or around December 16, 2024.
