Positive
- Major debt refinancing completed, replacing near-term 2028/2030 senior secured notes with longer-dated $2.035B notes due 2032/2034 and $300M convertible notes due 2033, which reduces refinancing pressure.
- Strong contracting momentum in 2026 with 21 new commitments adding $541M of backlog at an average dayrate of $123k over 4,350+ days, supporting future revenue visibility.
- Solid liquidity of $473M, combining $223.6M in cash and $250M in SSRCF capacity, providing financial flexibility amid fleet transitions and market volatility.
