Company Overview

Borr Drilling Limited is an offshore drilling company that operates a fleet of modern jack-up rigs and generates revenue from rig charters at dayrates, bareboat charters, and management contracts. In Q2 FY2026, revenue of $232.3 million consisted of $187.7 million in dayrate revenue, $32.9 million from bareboat charters, and $11.7 million from management contracts. As of August 12, 2026, 24 of 29 rigs were contracted or committed, and FY2026 contract coverage was approximately 73% at an average dayrate of about $134 thousand, including 70% coverage in the second half of FY2026.

In Q2 FY2026, the company reported revenue of $232.3 million, down 6% or $14.7 million from the previous quarter due to fewer operating days, lower average dayrates for certain rigs, and numerous contract transitions. Operating expenses were $232.1 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $43.8 million, down $44.7 million from the previous quarter. The quarter ended with a net loss of $241.4 million and negative earnings per share of $0.79, affected by a non-cash and financing loss of $176.3 million related to the extinguishment of prior debt, in addition to Odin costs, credit losses, and higher fuel and insurance expenses.

The year-over-year comparison shows that Q2 FY2026 revenue declined from $267.7 million in Q2 FY2025 to $232.3 million, or by approximately 13.2%, while net income shifted from a profit of $35.1 million to a loss of $241.4 million. For FY2025, the company generated revenue of $1.0 billion and net income of $45.0 million, compared with revenue of $1.0 billion and net income of $82.1 million in FY2024. The provided data does not include a gross profit figure or gross margin, so adjusted EBITDA and operating expenses are the available indicators for assessing operating profitability.

What's Driving the Stock

  • Since the beginning of FY2026, Borr Drilling has added 21 contractual commitments representing approximately 4,350 operating days and backlog of $541 million, including eight commitments covering more than 2,100 days since the previous earnings report. The additions included two-year contract extensions for Galar and Gersemi in Mexico through 2030, enhancing long-term revenue visibility.

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

  • Management expects an average of approximately 23 active rigs in Q3 FY2026, after Idun, Gunnlod, Skald, Sif, Natt, and Prospector 5 became fully operational following their contract transitions. Management did not provide a numerical adjusted EBITDA range, but expects a significant sequential improvement from the $43.8 million recorded in Q2 FY2026.
  • Odin is a critical factor for near-term results; the rig received regulatory approvals in mid-July 2026 and is preparing to begin a confirmed two-well contract, followed immediately by a transition to Cantium. Its current program provides confirmed work through mid-2027, with options that could extend it through 2029, but the company also expects additional preparation costs of between $6 million and $9 million in Q3 FY2026 before its daily operating expense stabilizes near the midpoint of the $70 thousand range.
  • The 50%-owned joint venture completed the acquisition of five premium jack-up rigs from Fontis in July 2026 for $287 million, financed with $237 million of non-recourse seller credit and a $25 million equity contribution from each partner. Two rigs were operating and a third was contracted, and Borr Drilling expects to fund approximately $15 million of working capital in Q3 FY2026.
  • The refinancing supported liquidity and maturities; the company issued $2.035 billion of secured notes maturing in 2032 and 2034 and $300 million of convertible notes maturing in 2033, while increasing the revolving credit facility to $250 million and extending its maturity to 2031. Total liquidity was $473.6 million as of June 30, 2026, including $223.6 million in cash and $250 million of undrawn borrowing capacity.
  • Buying & Selling Case

    ▲ Buying Case4 pts

    • +The $541 million of backlog added during FY2026, together with commitments for 24 of 29 rigs, provides a more visible revenue base than the one reflected in Q2 FY2026, when transitions involving six rigs weighed on operating days.
    • +Operating profitability could improve in Q3 FY2026 as the average number of active rigs rises to approximately 23, transition-related and associated fuel costs begin to subside, and Odin approaches revenue generation following the completion of regulatory approvals.
    • +The extensions of Galar and Gersemi through 2030, Gunnlod's work through April 2027, and the extensions of Gerd through March 2027 and Prospector 1 through April 2027 give the company secured contracts across Mexico, Vietnam, West Africa, and the North Sea instead of complete dependence on a single geographic market.
    • +The refinancing extended maturities through 2032, 2033, and 2034 and provided total liquidity of $473.6 million as of June 30, 2026. The new notes also include structural debt repayments of approximately $100 million annually, keeping deleveraging embedded within the financing mechanism itself.

    • −Results deteriorated significantly in Q2 FY2026; revenue declined 13.2% year over year to $232.3 million, adjusted EBITDA fell $44.7 million from the previous quarter to $43.8 million, and a profit of $35.1 million in Q2 FY2025 shifted to a loss of $241.4 million.
    • −Execution of the Odin contract still involves operational risks and additional costs; preparations and regulatory approvals took longer than expected, and the rig incurred costs of $22.5 million in Q2 FY2026. The company expects additional preparation costs of between $6 million and $9 million in Q3 FY2026, which could limit the speed of the operating earnings recovery if another delay occurs.
    • −A credit loss provision of $10.8 million for a former customer in West Africa highlighted customer collection risks, even though the net receivable from that customer was reduced to zero after being fully provided for. This coincided with operating cash usage of $21.8 million in Q2 FY2026, including cash interest payments of $115.8 million.
    • −The refinancing resulted in net financial expenses of $236.5 million and a debt extinguishment loss of $176.3 million in Q2 FY2026, including $123.7 million of redemption premiums. Despite extending maturities, the new secured notes carry relatively high interest rates of 8.75% and 9%, with total annual amortization of approximately $101.75 million beginning with semiannual payments in July 2027.
    • −The conflict in the Middle East is delaying tenders and reducing contracting visibility, and regional backlog additions during the first half of FY2026 reached their lowest level in more than 25 years, according to S&P Global data cited on the call. The conflict also increased insurance expenses by $2.2 million from the previous quarter, while fuel costs rose by $5.1 million, and management indicated that insurance pressure may persist until the conflict subsides.
    • −No valid price-to-earnings ratio is available because of the loss recorded in Q2 FY2026, weakening the ability to anchor the valuation to stable current earnings. The range of analyst targets from $3.55 to $6, compared with a 52-week range of $2.44 to $6.655, adds uncertainty regarding fair value, and the analyst consensus is rated Neutral rather than Buy.

    Valuation

    The average analyst price target is $4.78, within a wide range of $3.55 to $6, and even the upper end of the target range is below the 52-week high of $6.655; the consensus is also Neutral. No usable price-to-earnings ratio is available following the Q2 FY2026 loss, so the valuation depends more heavily on an operating earnings recovery, the conversion of backlog into cash flows, and the company's ability to bear the cost of its new debt.

    FAQ

    Why did BORR stock and Borr Drilling report a large loss in Q2 FY2026?

    The net loss was $241.4 million and negative earnings per share were $0.79 in Q2 FY2026. The largest factor was a debt extinguishment loss of $176.3 million, including $123.7 million of redemption premiums and $52.6 million from the write-off of deferred financing fees. Odin also incurred costs of $22.5 million, and the company recorded a credit loss of $10.8 million for a former customer in West Africa. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $43.8 million, down $44.7 million from the previous quarter.

    What could improve Borr Drilling's results in Q3 FY2026?

    Management expects an average of approximately 23 active rigs in Q3 FY2026 after most contract transitions were completed. Idun, Gunnlod, Skald, Sif, Natt, and Prospector 5 became fully operational, while Odin approached the start of its contract after obtaining regulatory approvals in July 2026. Management expects a significant sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA but did not provide a numerical range. Fuel pressure may ease as the number of rig transitions declines, while some insurance costs and Odin preparation costs of $6 million to $9 million are expected to persist.

    What are the size of Borr Drilling's backlog and its contract coverage?

    Since the beginning of FY2026, the company has added 21 contractual commitments representing approximately 4,350 operating days and $541 million of dayrate and equipment-related backlog. As of August 12, 2026, 24 of 29 rigs were contracted or committed. FY2026 coverage was approximately 73% at an average dayrate of about $134 thousand, while coverage for the second half of FY2026 was approximately 70%. Notable contracts include the extensions of Galar and Gersemi in Mexico through 2030 and Gunnlod's work through April 2027.

    How does the Fontis transaction affect Borr Drilling?

    The 50%-owned joint venture completed the acquisition of five premium jack-up rigs in Mexico in July 2026 for $287 million. The transaction was financed with $237 million of non-recourse seller credit, in addition to a $25 million contribution from each partner. Two rigs were operating and a third was contracted, while management saw a potential path to deploying a fourth rig near the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027 without providing a firm commitment. Borr Drilling expects to provide approximately $15 million as a shareholder loan to fund working capital in Q3 FY2026, with the goal of making the venture self-sustaining.

    Has Borr Drilling improved its liquidity and debt position?

    Total liquidity was $473.6 million as of June 30, 2026, consisting of $223.6 million in cash and $250 million available and undrawn under the revolving credit facility. The company issued $2.035 billion of secured notes maturing in 2032 and 2034, along with $300 million of convertible notes maturing in 2033. It also extended the revolving facility's maturity to 2031 and reduced its base margin to 3%. In contrast, the new secured notes carry interest rates of 8.75% and 9% and include annual amortization of $101.75 million on a full-year basis.

    What are the main regional operating risks facing BORR?

    The conflict in the Middle East has delayed tenders and contracting, and regional backlog additions during the first half of FY2026 reached their lowest level in more than 25 years, according to S&P Global data cited on the call. Conflict-related insurance expenses increased by $2.2 million from the previous quarter, in addition to a $5.1 million increase in fuel costs. In the North Sea, permitting challenges continue to reduce visibility into new commitments, while increased supply in Southeast Asia is pressuring the pricing of short- and long-term opportunities. Nevertheless, global marketed utilization for modern jack-up rigs remained at approximately 90%, according to management's presentation.
