▼(-19.21% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/22/26
The score is driven primarily by improving operating performance but meaningful leverage and volatile/free cash flow (including negative TTM FCF). Technicals add near-term caution as the stock trades below key short-term averages with weak-to-neutral momentum. Valuation is mixed with a decent yield but a non-meaningful negative P/E, while the latest call supports the outlook via stronger coverage/backlog and liquidity actions despite near-term cost and timing pressures.
Positive Factors
Operational utilization & safety
Sustained very high technical and economic utilization indicates durable fleet reliability and operational discipline. Over months, this reduces uncontracted days, supports stable revenue and margins, reinforces customer trust for repeat awards, and lowers unit costs tied to downtime and remedial work.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
For a cyclical jack-up driller, sustained high leverage materially amplifies downside in demand troughs, constraining reinvestment and forcing potentially dilutive or costly liquidity actions. Even with equity improvements, the balance sheet limits strategic optionality and raises refinancing sensitivity.

Borr Drilling Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 21, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a cautiously optimistic strategic outlook: operational performance and safety remain strong (very high utilization and safety milestones), the company materially expanded fleet and improved 2026 coverage, and management strengthened the capital structure (new convertible notes and liquidity). These strategic and contracting gains offset near-term financial headwinds including a Q1 revenue decline, a $29 million net loss, an $8.4 million credit loss provision, and Odin's delayed startup with additional expected prep costs. Management emphasized that sector fundamentals and demand visibility (particularly into 2027–2028) are improving but with timing uncertainty driven by geopolitical events.Positive Updates
Strong Operational Utilization and Safety Track Record
Technical utilization of 99.4% and economic utilization of 97% in Q1 2026; multiple rigs reached long LTI-free milestones (Gerd, Natt, Mist: 7 years; Saga: 6 years; Arabia III: 3 years) and Norve attained 2 years recordable-incident free, signaling strong operational performance and safety culture.
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Management guided that Q2 will remain affected by the Odin delayed start (now expected in late June) and about $10M of additional contract‑preparation costs on top of standard OpEx (after an $8.4M credit loss provision in Q1); Q1 metrics were technical utilization 99.4%, economic utilization 97%, revenue $247M, adjusted EBITDA $88.5M and net loss $29M. They said full‑year 2026 coverage has risen to 71% at an average dayrate of ~ $137,000 (H2 coverage 65% vs 48% previously), YTD commitments are 13 adding ~ $274M to backlog (and since the last report 8 commitments representing >1,100 firm days), and the fleet has expanded to 34 rigs (from 29). Liquidity at quarter end was $480M (cash $246M, undrawn revolver $234M); post‑quarter they issued $300M of 2033 convertibles to repurchase ~$195.2M of 2028 notes (new coupon 3.5% vs 5%, conversion price $8). Management expects dayrate/activity upside to lag oil price by 6–12 months, notes 17 visible open tenders in the Middle East, and views the company as well positioned to capture stronger demand into 2027–28.Borr Drilling Financial Statement Overview
