Burford Capital (NYSE: BUR) details $1.63B YTD loss and $733M cash
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Burford Capital Limited reported mixed results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Consolidated GAAP net income was $9 million in 2Q26, while net income attributable to shareholders was $2 million, compared with $88 million in 2Q25. For YTD26, net income attributable to shareholders was a loss of $(1,630) million, primarily driven by a substantial unrealized fair value write-down of YPF-related assets.
Operationally, cash generation was strong. Burford-only cash receipts were $157 million in 2Q26, the highest quarterly figure since 1Q25 and more than three times 2Q25, with YTD26 cash receipts of $247 million. Cash and marketable securities totaled $733 million as of June 30, 2026, while debt payable was $2,403 million. Tangible book value per share declined to $3.12 from $10.57 at December 31, 2025, and the debt to TBV ratio increased to 3.5x.
Management highlighted July 2026 portfolio developments, including a favorable $600+ million mining arbitration ruling that would entitle the Principal Finance segment to around $200 million if paid in full, an additional US jury verdict that would entitle Burford group-wide to $83 million if paid in full, and a favorable German Supreme Court ruling enabling cases with damages claims exceeding $500 million. The company is prioritizing portfolio-driven cash generation, about $10 million in annualized compensation savings, careful liquidity management and options to address a $400 million 2028 debt maturity, and it does not intend to declare an interim dividend in 2026.
Positive
- 2Q26 cash receipts reached $157 million, the highest level since 1Q25 and more than three times 2Q25, supporting liquidity alongside $733 million of cash and marketable securities.
- July 2026 case developments could entitle Burford to around $200 million from a mining arbitration and $83 million from a US jury verdict if awards are paid in full, adding potential upside to future realizations.
Negative
- YTD26 net loss attributable to shareholders was $(1,630) million, largely from a fair value write-down of YPF-related assets, compared with a $119 million profit in YTD25.
- Tangible book value per share fell from $10.57 at December 31, 2025 to $3.12, while the debt to TBV ratio rose to 3.5x, reflecting materially higher leverage.
- Burford-only capital provision income for YTD26 was a loss of $(1,584) million, versus a gain of $246 million in YTD25, indicating a sharp adverse movement in fair value of legal finance assets.
Filing Explained

The
The presentation defines definitive commitments as contractual obligations to advance capital, while discretionary commitments allow Burford to review and approve a future matter before advancing funds.

6 terms
capital provision assets financial
"Capital provision assets 3,184,677 (865,180) 2,319,497"
cash receipts financial
"Cash receipts of $157 million in 2Q26 were the highest"
tangible book value financial
"Tangible book value (TBV) per ordinary share 3.12 10.57"
Tangible book value is the accounting measure of a company’s net worth after removing intangible items like goodwill, patents and trademarks, leaving only physical and financial assets minus liabilities. For investors it offers a clearer view of the company’s hard-asset backing per share—like estimating the cash you could get by selling the furniture, machinery and cash in a house—helping gauge downside risk and whether a stock may be cheaply valued.
return on invested capital (ROIC) financial
"Modeled ROIC3 of 110% on modeled realizations exceeds historical ROIC of 82%"
Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how much profit a company generates from the money put into its business, including debt and equity. Think of it like the harvest you get from seeds you planted: higher ROIC means the company uses its resources more efficiently to grow earnings. Investors care because ROIC shows whether a business is creating value above its cost of financing and helps compare operational effectiveness across companies.
weighted average life (WAL) financial
"WAL of outstanding debt is 5.2 years, compared to 2.7 years"
modeled realizations financial
"Modeled realizations1 disclosure at year-end 2025 anticipated $5.2 billion"
Modeled realizations are the projected outcomes or cash flows that a financial model produces for an investment, asset or scenario—essentially the simulated results of how much value is expected to be recovered under specified assumptions. Investors care because these projections help estimate potential returns and risks the same way a weather forecast helps plan a trip: they are not guarantees but guide decision-making, stress-testing portfolios and comparing alternative strategies.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. In some cases, words such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “guidance”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “projected”, “should” or “will”, or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although Burford believes that the assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future results and events reflected in forward-looking statements have a reasonable basis and are expressed in good faith, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause Burford’s actual results and events to differ materially from (and be more negative than) future results and events expressed, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, and new factors emerge from time to time. Furthermore, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Presentation and, except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition to forward-looking statements, this Presentation includes certain data, such as modeled realizations and modeled ROIC, based on calculations derived from the Company’s probabilistic modeling of individual matters and its portfolio as a whole. This data is not a forecast of future results, and past performance is not a guide to future performance. The inherent volatility and unpredictability of legal finance assets precludes forecasting and limits the predictive nature of the Company’s probabilistic model. Furthermore, the inherent nature of the probabilistic model is that actual results will differ from the modeled results, and such differences could be material. The data based on calculations derived from the Company’s probabilistic model contained in this Presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a profit forecast or be relied upon as a guide to future performance.
Notice and disclaimer (continued) Estimates and Assumptions. This Presentation includes certain unaudited financial and business projections, targets and goals with respect to the Company’s future outlook (collectively, the “Estimates”). The Estimates reflect subjective judgment in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, the Estimates constitute forward-looking information and are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results forecasted in these projections, targets or goals. There can be no assurance that the Estimates will be realized or that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than forecast. The Estimates cannot, therefore, be considered a guarantee of future results of operations, and this information should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives considered or considers the Estimates to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the Estimates should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by the Company that its management views the Estimates as material information. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives has made or makes any representation to any of the Company’s shareholders or any other person regarding the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the information contained in the Estimates or can give any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Estimates. Certain of the projected financial information in this Presentation may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP (as defined below), and non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. No reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the Estimates to measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP was created or used in connection with preparing the Estimates. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Estimates, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Estimates. THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE OR RECONCILE THE ESTIMATES TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE THE ESTIMATES WERE GENERATED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE ESTIMATES ARE NO LONGER APPROPRIATE OR ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Basis of presentation; non-GAAP financial measures; key performance indicators; definitions. The Company reports its financial results in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). US GAAP requires the Company to present financial statements that consolidate some of the limited partner interests in private funds the Company manages as well as assets held on the Company’s balance sheet where it has a partner or minority investor. As a result, the Company uses various measures, including Burford-only and adjusted Burford-only financial measures, which are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP, to supplement analysis and discussion of its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of Burford-only financial measures is consistent with how management measures and assesses the performance of the Company’s reporting segments, which are evaluated by management on a Burford-only basis, and that the presentation of Burford-only and adjusted Burford-only financial measures provides valuable and useful information to investors to aid in understanding the Company’s performance in addition to its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP by eliminating the effect of the consolidation. In addition, the Company’s segment reporting, which conveys the performance of its business across two reportable segments—Principal Finance and Asset Management and Other Services—is presented on a Burford-only basis. The Company refers to its segment reporting in the aggregate as “total segments”. The Company also uses additional non-GAAP financial measures, such as cash receipts, tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share (“TBVPS”) and various indebtedness leverage ratios. The Company believes that (i) cash receipts are an important measure of the Company’s operating and financial performance and are useful to management and investors when assessing the performance of Burford-only capital provision assets and (ii) TBVPS is an important measure of the Company’s financial condition and is useful to management and investors when assessing capital adequacy and the Company’s ability to generate earnings on tangible equity invested by its shareholders. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, the Company uses certain unaudited key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The KPIs are presented because the Company uses them to monitor its financial condition and results of operations and/or the Company believes they are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. The presentation of the KPIs is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been, nor does it project its financial condition at any future date or its results of operations for any future period. The presentation of the KPIs is based on information available as of the date of this Presentation and certain assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. Additional information with respect to these non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs, their respective definitions and calculations and related reconciliations are provided in “Other Reconciliations” and “Glossary” sections of this Presentation. * * * * *

Key Messages
Key Messages 8 ➢ 2Q26 results reflect steady cash generation alongside modest portfolio activity • Cash receipts of $157 million in 2Q26 were the highest quarterly result since 1Q25, up 75% from 1Q26 and more than 3x the amount received in 2Q25 • Cash and marketable securities of $733 million as of June 30, 2026 remain steady from prior quarter maintaining a strong liquidity position ➢ July case wins mark a strong start to the second half of 2026 and highlight how quickly momentum can shift in our business Ongoing priorities in second half of 2026: ➢ Cash generation from the portfolio through proactive case management ➢ Streamline operating costs as we maintain our focus on growth ➢ Prudently manage liquidity as we assess optimal path to address leverage and 2028 debt maturity NOTE: References throughout this Presentation to portfolio activity such as deployments and realizations refer to our Principal Finance segment, and all such portfolio activity metrics are shown either on a Burford-only or adjusted Burford-only basis, as applicable, unless otherwise noted. See “Other Reconciliations” and “Glossary” sections of this Presentation for additional information with respect to these portfolio activity metrics, their respective definitions and related reconciliations. In addition, throughout this Presentation, realizations and net realized gains/(losses) include fully and partially concluded assets. 2.3 1.2 1.8 0.4 4.1 1.6 Principal Finance Segment Asset Management & Other Services Segment Fair value Undrawn commitments $5.7 billion Group-wide portfolio (as of June 30, 2026)
Selected portfolio developments in July 2026 9 NOTE: These cases remain subject to significant litigation and collection risks, including potential appeals, annulments, set-aside or other post-judgment or post-award proceedings, as well as enforcement, collection and collateral litigation in other jurisdictions. As with all arbitration and litigation matters, outcomes remain uncertain until final resolution, and there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any ultimate recovery. Depending on the outcome of such proceedings, Burford could recover substantially less than the amounts described above or, in certain circumstances, incur a total loss. Litigation and arbitration matters also frequently resolve for amounts materially below the face amount of an award or judgment, and the parties could agree to resolve these matters for considerably less than the amount of the judgment or award. Burford's ultimate entitlement, if any, will also depend on the terms of its financing agreement and applicable fees, expenses, taxes and other deductions. In addition, if settlement or other resolution discussions occur, Burford may be unable to comment publicly on those discussions until their conclusion. Burford disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any obligation to update its statements regarding these matters as the proceedings continue. The matters described above are selected portfolio developments and are not intended to be representative of Burford’s portfolio results for July 2026 or for the third quarter as a whole. Other matters may have produced less favorable, unfavorable or no developments during the same period. Key Messages ➢ Favorable $600+ million ruling in mining arbitration • Burford’s Principal Finance segment would be entitled to around $200 million if award against Cameroon paid in full • Cameroon sub-case exists in the same cross-collateralized portfolio as the previously discussed sub-case loss against Republic of Congo, which is being challenged in the courts ➢ Sizeable US jury verdict that would entitle Burford to $83 million group-wide if paid in full, with about half allocated to Burford’s Principal Finance segment ➢ Favorable German Supreme Court ruling (Germany’s highest court), after years of lower court litigation, resolving in Burford’s favor the ability to bring cases with damages claims in excess of $500 million and setting a valuable future precedent ➢ A law firm portfolio has already paid out $54 million group-wide in 2026, of which $20 million came in July (75% to Principal Finance segment), with an additional fee that came in 50% above our expectations and is expected to result in double-digit millions more for Burford
Modeled realizations are highly diversified 10 • Our last modeled realizations1 disclosure at year-end 2025 anticipated $5.2 billion in future realizations from the existing portfolio (excluding YPF-related assets) • We believe the current portfolio is highly diversified not only from the standpoint of deployed capital, but also in terms of the distribution of modeled returns across capital provision assets • Modeled realizations would also imply approximately $350 million of incremental asset management proceeds2 expected to be earned from BOF-C and private funds • Modeled ROIC3 of 110% on modeled realizations exceeds historical ROIC of 82%, which reflects the accumulation of several large, short-duration assets in the historical track record which weigh down ROIC despite strong IRRs 17% 12% 14% 10% 8% 7% 32% Modeled realizations (ex-YPF) – Asset-level concentrations Principal Finance as of December 31, 2025 ($ in millions) Top 5 assets by modeled realizations #6-10 #11-20 #21-30 #31-40 #41-50 Rest of portfolio (172 assets) $5.2 billion NOTE: This slide reflects information previously disclosed in our 4Q25 and FY25 earnings presentation released on February 26, 2026 and does not constitute an update to prior modeling. Calculation derived from our internal modeling of individual matters and of our portfolio as a whole. These data are not a forecast of future results. The inherent volatility and unpredictability of legal finance assets precludes forecasting and limits the predictive nature of our internal models. The inherent nature of probabilistic modeling is that actual results will differ from the modeled results, and such differences could be material. The modeling data included in this Presentation are for informational purposes only. No statement in this Presentation is intended to be a profit forecast or be relied upon as a guide to future performance. In particular, past performance is no guide to future performance. NOT A PROJECTION – SEE DISCLAIMER ON PAGES 2-4 Key Messages 110% ROIC 1) Modeled realizations: Expected future realizations from capital provision assets (ex YPF-related assets) based on probabilistic modeling of portfolio and adjusted by an experience factor based on historical modeling accuracy rates. 2) Incremental asset management proceeds: Expected future cash receipts from profit-sharing income and performance fees implied by expected future realizations, including the collection of current receivables that have already been recognized as revenue. 3) Modeled ROIC: Return on invested capital based on adjusted modeled realizations and estimated deployed cost, which includes expected additional deployed cost on existing assets based on probabilistic modeling of portfolio.

Managing liquidity, operating costs and debt maturities 14 ✓ As discussed in our 1Q26 earnings call, we have made select changes in our senior and middle management teams to capture approximately $10 million of annualized compensation expense savings across salaries, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation – Upfront cost of achieving these savings is approximately $2 million – Balance platform expansion as we focus on 2030 goals with disciplined expense management ✓ We do not intend to declare an interim dividend this year; we will evaluate the potential for future dividends as our portfolio matures and our leverage level reduces ✓ There remains ample time to decide the most efficient path to repay or refinance the $400 million 2028 debt maturity, which happens to be our lowest coupon debt Key Messages Key statistics Actions $733M Cash and marketable securities on the balance sheet 0 Maintenance covenants on debt $573M Average annual cash receipts (2023-2025) 2.7 3.5 5.2 Concluded assets Active deployed cost Debt outstanding Weighted average life (WAL) yrs yrs yrs Modeled cash generation Debt outstanding $5.5 billion $2.4 billion 2.3x coverage vs NOTE: All data on this slide is as of June 30, 2026, unless noted otherwise.

Other Reconciliations
Cash Receipts 1) Adjustments for the change in asset management receivables accrued during the applicable period but not yet received as of the end of such period. NOTE: Cash receipts provide a measure of the cash that our capital provision and other assets generate during a given period as well as cash from certain other fees and income.

Investors in the Advantage Fund include third parties as well as Burford’s balance sheet. Assets held by the Advantage Fund are recorded as capital provision assets. Asset Management and Other Services segment One of our two reportable segments. Asset Management and Other Services segment manages legal finance assets on behalf of third-party investors through private funds and provides other services to the legal industry. BOF-C Burford Opportunity Fund C LP, a private fund through which a sovereign wealth fund invests in pre-settlement legal finance matters under the sovereign wealth fund arrangement. Burford-only (non-GAAP) A basis of presentation that refers to assets, liabilities and activities that pertain only to Burford on a proprietary basis, excluding any third-party interests and the portions of jointly owned entities owned by others. Capital provision assets Financial instruments that relate to the provision of capital in connection with legal finance. Cash receipts Cash receipts provide a measure of the cash that our capital provision and other assets generate during a given period as well as cash from certain other fees and income. In particular, cash receipts represent the cash generated from capital provision and other assets, including cash proceeds from realized or concluded assets and any related hedging assets, and cash received from asset management income, services and/or other income, before any deployments into financing existing or new assets. Commitment A commitment is the amount of financing we agree to provide for a legal finance asset. Commitments can be definitive (requiring us to provide financing on a schedule or, more often, when certain expenses are incurred) or discretionary (allowing us to provide financing after reviewing and approving a future matter). Commitments for which we have not yet provided financing are unfunded commitments. Concluded and partially concluded assets A legal finance asset is “concluded” for our purposes when there is no longer any litigation risk remaining. We use the term to encompass (i) entirely concluded legal finance assets where we have received all proceeds to which we are entitled (net of any entirely concluded losses), (ii) partially concluded legal finance assets where we have received some proceeds (for example, from a settlement with one party in a multi-party case) but where the case is continuing with the possibility of receiving additional proceeds and (iii) legal finance assets where the underlying litigation has been resolved and there is a promise to pay proceeds in the future (for example, in a settlement that is to be paid over time). Consolidated funds Certain of our private funds in which, because of our investment in and/or control of such private funds, we are required under the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) to consolidate the minority limited partner’s interests in such private funds and include the full financial results of such private funds within our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this Presentation, BOF-C and the Advantage Fund are consolidated funds. Definitive commitments Commitments where we are contractually obligated to advance incremental capital and failure to do so would typically result in adverse contractual consequences (such as a dilution in our returns or the loss of our deployed capital in a case). Deployment Financing provided for an asset or other additions on consolidation, which add to our deployed cost in such asset. Glossary 50
Deployed cost Deployed cost is the amount of financing we have provided for an asset at the applicable point in time. For purposes of calculating returns, we must consider how to allocate the costs associated with an asset in the event of a partial conclusion. Our approach to cost allocation depends on the type of asset: When single case assets have partial resolutions along the way without the entire case being resolved, most commonly because one party settles and the remaining part(y)/(ies) continue to litigate, we report the partial resolution when agreed as a partial realization and allocate a portion of the deployed cost to the partial resolution depending on the significance of the settling party to the overall claim. In portfolio assets when a case (or part of a case) resolves or generates cash proceeds, we report the partial resolution when agreed as a partial realization and allocate a portion of the deployed cost to the resolution. The allocation depends on the structure of the individual portfolio arrangement and the significance of the resolution to the overall portfolio, but it is in essence a method that mimics the way an investor would allocate cost basis across a portfolio of security purchases. Discretionary commitments Commitments where we are not contractually obligated to advance capital and generally would not suffer adverse financial consequences from not doing so. Group-wide A basis of presentation that refers to the totality of assets managed by us, which includes assets financed by our balance sheet through our Principal Finance segment and assets funded by third parties through our Asset Management and Other Services segment. Internal rate of return (IRR) Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is a discount rate that makes the net present value of a series of cash flows equal to zero and is expressed as a percentage figure. We compute IRR on concluded (including partially concluded) legal finance assets by treating that entire portfolio (or, when noted, a subset thereof) as one undifferentiated pool of capital and measuring actual and, if necessary, estimated inflows and outflows from that pool, allocating costs appropriately. IRRs do not include unrealized gains or losses. Monetization The acceleration of a portion of the expected value of a litigation or arbitration matter prior to resolution of such matter, which permits a client to convert an intangible claim or award into tangible cash on a non-recourse basis. Portfolio The sum of the fair value of capital provision assets and the undrawn commitments. Principal Finance segment One of our two reportable segments. Principal Finance segment includes the allocation of capital to legal finance assets from our balance sheet, primarily as capital provision assets, and in limited scope through interests in private funds managed by us. Realization A legal finance asset is realized when the asset is concluded (i.e., when litigation risk has been resolved). A realization will result in us receiving cash or, occasionally, non-cash assets, or recognizing a due from settlement receivable, reflecting what we are owed on the asset. Realized gain or loss Reflects the total amount of gain or loss, relative to cost, generated by a legal finance asset when it is realized, calculated as realized proceeds less deployed cost, without regard for any previously recognized fair value adjustment. Return on invested capital (ROIC) Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) from a concluded asset is the absolute amount of realizations from such asset in excess of the amount of expenditure incurred in financing such asset divided by the amount of expenditure incurred, expressed as a percentage figure. ROIC is a measure of our ability to generate absolute returns on our assets. Some industry participants express returns on a multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) instead of a ROIC basis. MOIC includes the return of capital and, therefore, is 1x higher than ROIC. In other words, 70% ROIC is the same as 1.70x MOIC. Glossary (continued) 51
Glossary (continued) 52 Total segments Refers to the sum of our two reportable segments, (i) Principal Finance and (ii) Asset Management and Other Services, and is presented on a Burford-only basis. Unrealized gain or loss Represents the fair value of our legal finance assets over or under their deployed cost, as determined in accordance with the requirements of the applicable US GAAP standards, for the relevant financial reporting period (unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations) or cumulatively (unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition). Vintage Refers to the calendar year in which a legal finance commitment is initially made. YPF-related assets Refers to our Petersen and Eton Park legal finance assets, which are two claims relating to the Republic of Argentina’s nationalization of YPF S.A., the Argentine energy company.
