Forward guidance

Tailwinds
- Favorable pricing and activity trends continue to improve across the globe.
- The pace of dayrate increases has been particularly brisk in the Lower 48, where we have recently started to sign contracts with revenue per day approaching $40,000.
- Utilization for our high-specification rigs now stands at 86% and as utilization for the industry continues to increase, we expect to see higher dayrates through the end of this year and into 2023.
- At these leading edge dayrates, we believe it makes sense to contract a portion of our Lower 48 fleet on longer term.
- Assuming favorable commodity prices persist, we are forecasting approximately $400 million in net debt reduction during 2023.
