Analysis · BORR · Energy & Transportation
Borr Drilling's Q2 2026 results show a sharp deterioration in profitability, with net loss widening to $241.4 million from $29.0 million in Q1, driven by a $236.5 million financial expense related to the debt refinancing completed in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA fell 50.5% sequentially to $43.8 million, reflecting lower revenues and higher operating expenses. The company maintains strong liquidity at $473.6 million and reports 73% contract coverage for 2026, but the Middle East conflict is impacting near-term utilization and visibility. The refinancing has pushed out maturities to 2032-2034, reducing near-term default risk, but the increased interest burden and operational softness are key concerns.
