Archer ( (ARHVF) ) has issued an announcement.

Archer reported a resilient 2025 performance in a challenging market, delivering 12% EBITDA growth, margin expansion and a stronger balance sheet supported by a $425 million bond refinancing, a first-time shareholder distribution program, and strategic acquisitions that bolstered its P&A capabilities and drill pipe services. The group enters 2026 with a roughly $4 billion backlog, a major five-year $600 million drilling contract with YPF in Vaca Muerta, and a sharpened portfolio following the sale of its Argentinian workover business, guiding for single‑digit EBITDA growth this year while temporarily elevating capex to fund multi‑year contracts that are expected to lift earnings and shareholder payouts from late 2026.
