BORR Q1 2025: $216.6M revenue as 16 of 24 rigs active; net loss $16.9M

Borr Drilling reported first quarter 2025 results on May 21 with total operating revenues of $216.6 million, down $46.5 million sequentially from Q4 2024 as temporary rig suspensions and contract preparations reduced activity. The company averaged 16 active rigs from its 24-rig fleet while maintaining 99.2% technical utilization and 97.9% economic utilization on working rigs. Net loss was $16.9 million versus net income of $26.3 million in Q4 2024, and adjusted EBITDA fell to $96.1 million from $136.7 million. Liquidity improved to $320 million at quarter end, including $170 million cash and an undrawn $150 million revolver, helped by roughly $120 million in Mexico receivable collections and mobilization fees. Management suspended the dividend, noted 79% 2025 contract coverage at a $147,000 average day rate, and said operating rig count has risen to 22 entering Q2.
