## What management said

- "The third quarter, which featured a 5% sequential decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, marked the successful resumption of operations for both of our rigs in Brazil, but was also impacted by several other rigs across the fleet transitioning between contracts. On the commercial front, we have recently secured approximately $560 million in new contract awards, including a number of key programs that support a strengthening fleet utilization profile as we move through 2027" Robert W. Eifler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Noble (8-K filed Oct 26, 2026). Source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1895262/000189526226000147/exhibit991-q32026pressrele.htm
