HAMILTON, Bermuda, Mar 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Paratus Energy Services Ltd. (OSLO: PLSV) («Paratus» or the «Company») today reported operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, highlighted by $115 million (FY 2025: $452 million) in combined segment revenues and $69 million (FY 2025: $261 million) in adjusted EBITDA. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and ownership in Joint Ventures (the «Group») ended the quarter with $204 million in cash and a net debt balance of $581 million.
Paratus is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors (the «Board») has authorized a quarterly cash distribution of $0.22 per share for Q4 2025, consistent with prior quarters.
«We closed 2025 with strong performance, meaningful cash collections in Mexico, and continued shareholder returns,» said Robert Jensen, CEO of Paratus. «With solid cash generation from Seagems, we are well positioned to execute on our strategic priorities and maximize long-term shareholder value.»
Q4 and full-year 2025 highlights, including notable post-quarter developments:
- Achieved full-year fleet utilization of approximately 99%, with financial results exceeding initial full-year guidance.
- Combined full-year segment revenues were $452 million while adjusted EBITDA grew 4% to $261 million.
- Collected $356 million in Mexico, including $209 million through a receivable monetization agreement.
- Simplified Group structure through sale of its 24% Archer stake, unlocking $48 million of cash, of which $18 million was applied toward debt reduction.
- Delivered $168 million of capital returns to shareholders through cash distributions and share buybacks
- Successfully completed acceptance testing across PLSV fleet, with all vessels contracted with Petrobras at materially higher dayrates by year-end 2025.
- Reported Q4 2025 combined segment revenue of $115 million and adjusted EBITDA of $69 million.
- Ended the year with $204 million in Group cash and $581 million in net debt.
- Post Q4, declared a $0.22 per share quarterly dividend for Q4 2025, consistent with previous quarters.
Fontis
Fontis reported contract revenues of $41.8 million (Q3 2025: $54.8 million). Revenues in the prior quarter included $12.1 million of variable revenue which is only recognized until it is agreed by the customer. Operating expenses (Opex) totaled $21.3 million, compared to $19.5 million in Q3 2025, primarily reflecting higher year-end accruals, while general and administrative expenses (G&A) were $0.9 million (Q3 2025: $0.5 million). Adjusted EBITDA was $19.6 million, compared with $34.8 million in Q3 2025.
During Q4 2025, Fontis achieved an average dayrate of $114 thousand per day (Q3 2025: $116 thousand per day) and maintained strong technical utilization of 99.5% (Q3 2025: 99.7%). The company’s contract backlog at quarter-end stood at approximately $20 million (Q3 2025: approximately $56 million).
At the end of Q4 2025, the notional value of the receivable balance was $199.1 million, down from $293.1 million as of Q3 2025. During the quarter, Fontis received $143 million in payments toward overdue invoices from its client in Mexico, with payments made via a Mexican government investment fund. Including these receipts, the Company collected approximately $356 million in 2025. Post Q4, Fontis received $5 million in collections from its client.
The Company continues to actively pursue the collection of its remaining outstanding receivables and remains committed to recovering the full amounts due, consistent with its past practice. While the Company recognizes that the timing of collections may continue to fluctuate, recent payments and ongoing government support initiatives provide greater confidence that the payment cycle is normalizing.
The Company observes continued improvement in the global jack-up market, supported by operating and tender activity levels in key regions, particularly in Saudi Arabia, as well as in other markets. Near-term demand for jack-ups in Mexico in 2026 appears to be driven more by the client’s approved budgets than by drilling activity required to maintain production, resulting in contracting processes progressing more slowly than anticipated. Recent public statements by the national oil company indicating a 34% year-over-year increase in total capital expenditures, together with its stated objective to increase crude oil production, point to the potential for improved budget availability and activity levels over the medium-term. As of the reporting date, Oberon completed operations in late January and has subsequently been demobilized for warm stacking in anticipation of new work, while Defender has been awarded a two-month contract extension. While no assurances can be provided, the Company remains engaged in ongoing discussions with its client regarding potential contract extensions in Mexico for Defender, Courageous and Intrepid, in direct continuation of their existing commitments. If secured, such extensions would be expected to maintain utilization for these rigs into the first quarter of 2027 and potentially beyond.
Titania and Oberon are currently being actively marketed for new contract opportunities in Mexico and internationally. The Company has received several unsolicited bids and indications of interest and is evaluating potential sale transactions for one or both rigs. Any such transaction will be considered in the context of broader strategic alternatives for the jack-up business as a whole. The evaluation of potential sale transactions for Titania and Oberon, as well as the broader review of strategic alternatives for the jack-up business, is progressing constructively. The Company intends to conclude its assessment of these opportunities in the near term, with the objective of determining the most value-accretive path forward for Paratus and its stakeholders.
Seagems Joint Venture
Paratus’ 50% share in the Seagems joint venture contributed $73.5 million in contract revenues, a modest increase from $72.6 million in the prior quarter. Opex totaled $14.8 million (Q3 2025: $21.3 million), while G&A expenses were $3.9 million (Q3 2025: $3.2 million). The decrease in Opex primarily reflects a one-time presentation reclassification of certain withholding taxes from Opex to Income tax. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $51.6 million from $44.8 million in Q3, driven by stronger revenues and lower Opex.
The JV achieved an average dayrate of $278 thousand per day (Q3 2025: $272 thousand per day) and maintained strong technical utilization of 98% (Q3 2025: 98.4%). Seagems JV’s contract backlog at quarter-end was approximately $1.3 billion (Q3 2025: approximately $1.5 billion). In Q4 2025 the entire fleet operated under the new Petrobras contracts.
During the quarter, the Seagems JV distributed $38.1 million to Paratus (Q3 2025: $57.8 million), bringing total distributions received in 2025 to $129 million (2024: $97.5 million).
Earlier this year, Petrobras issued a PLSV tender for start-up in 2027-28, offering four-year contracts across five different lots with varying technical specifications. The tender deadline is currently set for mid-April 2026, and Seagems is well positioned to submit a bid with at least one vessel.
The Company has, in recent quarters, evaluated opportunities to expand the Seagems business and leverage the strong operational platform it has developed. In this context, Seagems has submitted a commercial proposal in response to a Petrobras tender for the demobilization of flexible lines. To support this bid, Seagems has secured access to a third-party vessel, which would be deployed in the event of a contract award.

Tengo varias preguntas sobre esto a ver si me podiais aclarar:
-¿Puedo hacer un ingreso regular de 800 euros y me cobran 0euos de comisiones y mto.?
-¿Puedo sacar el dinero cuando quiera?,¿todo ó tengo entendido que hay que mantener un mínimo de 100 euros los 30 meses?
-No necesito pero me obligan a sacar una tarjeta de débito que me cuesta 11 euros el primer año y 22 euros la renovación, también otra de credito que me cuesta 0 euros el primer año y 35 euros la renovación.
¿Hay que mantenerlas 13 meses?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas desde el principio?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas antes de la renovación?
¿Hay alguna tarjeta de credito más barata?
Aparte de la cuenta nómina he visto que también que para que te den la tv también se puede sacar una cuenta tarifa plana básica o personal, ¿sabeis algo de estas cuentas?¿que requisitos tienen?
Muchas gracias a todos por responder
Yo fui a informarme y te cuento. Únicamente admiten los ingresos regulares en el caso de que seas autónomo. Te abren una cuenta Tarifa Plana Cero que está exenta de comisiones y presenta alguna ventaja más. Sobre dejar un mínimo de saldo en la cuenta no es necesario, pero sí te obligan a mantener varias tarjetas durante los 30 meses con un coste aproximado de 100 euros anuales.
hola buenas!
me llamo javi y estoy dudando de que banco, me puede dar mas beficios, sin sorpresas por domiciliar la nomina, ya que llevo años en la caixa y no me da nada ningun beneficio. es mas me rechazan los prestamos que solicito, ni siquiera una targeta de credito, por alegan de que siempre esta a cero la cuenta, yo cuando cobro la nomina dejo el dinero para los pagos, y saco el resto, pues no me fio, de que un dia me quede sin dinero, ya que esta todo muy mal, corre riesgo mi dinero o mis ahorros en el banco?? muchas gracias y un cordial saludo.
javi
NO TE EXTRAÑE QUE NO TE DEN LOS PTMOS, PORQUE LO QUE VEN ES QUE NO TIENES CAPACIDAD DE AHORRO PORQUE SIEMPRE DEJAS LA CTA. EN MINIMOS, ASI NINGUN BANCO TE LO VA A CONCEDER. TAMBIEN ES VERDAD QUE LA CAIXA, COMO TANTAS OTRAS CAJAS, TIENE EL PUÑO CERRADO PARA LOS RIESGOS, PARA REMONTAR. NO TE PREOCUPES, QUE POR UNA NOMINA NO CREO QUE NINGUN BANCO SE COJA LAS MANOS. LOS QUE SE TIENEN QUE PREOCUPAR SON LOS QUE TIENEN DÉPÓSITOS Y FONDOS EN BANCOS DE DUDOSA ACTIVIDAD. LA GENTE SE PIENSA QUE PORQUE LES DEN UN 7% YA ES UN GRAN BANCO Y SE EQUIVOCAN. LO QUE LES PASA ES QUE EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA LES PRESTA EL DINERO MAS CARO Y POR ESO OPTAN POR CONSEGUIRLO EN EL MERCADO MONETARIO, Y SI EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA NO SE FIA DE ELLOS, VA Y SE FIA LA GENTE. QUE LOS BANCOS NOES LA ADMON PUBLICA, ABRAN OS OJOS.
Hola , cuando vallais al banco queos dejen lo que hay que pagar de irpf y de iva sobre el valor de la tele ya que en la mayoria de bancos esto no lo dicen y luego llagan las sorpresas .A mi ya me ha pasado con la promoción del portatil y nunca me hablaros de esto . Cuidado
Yo he estado calculando y la tele entre unas cosas y otras te sale sobre unos 250euros que tampoco regalan tanto .Hay oficinas en las que han dado la occión de poner un dinero a plazo fijo a 12meses de 9300euros o 6800euros a 18 meses.
No es ningún chollo. Te obligan a contratar dos tarjetas de crédito que tienes que pagar porque las tienes que mantener 13 meses por lo menos y además llevan unos costes desproporcionados si las utilizas. En total, no usando las tarjetas y anulándolas una vez cumplidos los 13 meses puedes ahorrar unos 38 euros con respecto al precio de ese televisor en una gran superficie. Y además luego vendrá que te cobran para hacienda la retención correspondiente, por lo que probablemente incluso en las mejores condiciones te cueste más que si ahorras un poco y lña compras directamente.
Creó que teneis toda la razón, que aqui no te regalan nada, ya que a mí me paso con unas sartenes que regalaban el banco bilbao, que al final entre el irpf y el descuento de Hacienda, al final me salieron caras, así es que no os tomen el pelo, que al final siempre esta la letra pequeña que es la que nos joroba, por no decir otra cosa.
Yo saque el portatil y ahora me he sacado la TV LCD 32. Estas promos no hay que declararlas. No es obligado domiciliar nomina. Si, meter en la cuenta 800€ todos los meses en un margen de 10 dias. Cero matacero, pero cero,cero, cero de gastos de mantenimiento, ni por recibos, ni por el correo a casa, ni por transfer. Las tarjets gratis el 1er año. Resto fuera. Dadas de baja Menos la de debito. Banesto no pierde nada, ganar, gana clientes que es el proposito de esta promo. Precio de portatil y tv 32 en mercao unos 900€ los 2. En banest 197€. Los hay mejores, nos ha jodio! portatiles a 1200€, TV LCD 32 a 1000€. Señores, son lentejas. Relacion calida-precio-promo es cojonud…….Un saludit a los viandantes.
hola , no se si llegara mi comentario pero os voi a esplicar. esto es el cuento de la abuela. mira yo tengo el portatil. y he cogio tab la tele, pero sabeis ke?, me ha pasado de todo. os esplico. primero me cobran 74 euros y 25 euros de unas tarjetas que yo no las he visto aparecer por mi casa , me cabreo con el banco. llamo y pido esplicaciones. me dicen que van en la promocion, nunca jamas nadie me informo de las tarjetas, no me devuelven el dinero. me cabreo y me dicen que llame aun numero de tefono para darlas de baja, se pasan los dias, intentamos darlas de baja. largas y larga, que si este numero de tefono que si el otro bla bla bla. conseguimos hablar y nos dicen que tenemos que cambiar el contrato a tarifa plana o no se ke historias, llamando al banco se pasan los dias, largas y largas. me cabreo y estoi por suspender todo, me dicen que si lo quiero cambiar y dar de baja las tarjetas que nunca he tenido. tengo que pagar comisiones cada seis meses de doce y pico euros, y que si no quiero que me cobren comisiones tengo que ir todos los meses al banco a hacerlo yo, ufffffffffff.aun hay mas. me dan de baja y me hacen la tarifa plana, se equivocan un monton de veces. me hacen pasar muchos cabreos.y al final cuando llego a casa me han cobrado 25, 50 euros. y llamo por telefono y se lo digo , me dicen claro por dar de baja la otra cuenta , la madre que los pario. ladrones. o sea os digo que la tele no sale regalada, se la cobran y muy bien cobrada , nadie da nada por nada. en cuento termine de pagar lo que debo quito todas las cuentas del banesto.espero que alguien me lea y que me conteste gracias .
Banesto ha jodido a mi marido y a un amigo tambien. Para mi, despues de Banco de Andalucía son los peores. Y quieran creerlo o no ni la television ni el portátil te lo regalan.. como no cumplas cualquiera de las reglas te sancionan con 300 y pico de euros.. porque nos hemos mudado de casa y los recibos domiciados se cortaron «temporalmente» la sancion fue de mas de 300 euros.. y el cabreo q te llevas cuando ves lo q te han descontado y luego para ir a reclamarlos.. y como te tratan !! en fin.. espero que Banesto sea lo primero en undirse en el fin del mundo!!
CHOLLO!!!!!!!!!JAJAJAJAJA…….NO ES NINGUN CHOLLO!!!!!!! te cobran 100 € de gastos de manipulacion, mas 150 € en tarjetas durante 2 años, mas 6 € mensuales de mantenimiento de cuenta durante 30 meses, total que pagas 630 Euros por un ordenador o una TV que su valor seguro que no llega a 500 €. Y encima si vas a cancelar la cuenta cuando cumples los 30 meses requeridos te hacen esperar dos horas para decirte que no tienen linea de telefono para dar de baja la cuenta, cosa que no para nunca cuando vas a contratarlo. Y del trato que dispensan….., es el mismo que si vas con un fajo de billetes de 500 € por los CO-JONES
Banesto «premia», menuda falacia…
No hay ningún banco que premie a nadie.
BANESTO NECESITA NUESTRAS NÓMINAS, Y EN CUANTO VAS UN POCO JUSTO, COMO BUENOS JUDÍOS Y ÁVAROS QUE SON, TE ACOSAN Y MACHACAN, Y TE SACAN HASTA LAS ENTRAÑAS EN COMISIONES.
DESPUÉS EL ESTADO APOYA A LOS BANCOS, CON LA EXCUSA DE QUE SI CAEN LOS BANCOS CAEMOS TODOS. LOS BANCOS NECESITAN UN BOICOT DE VEZ EN CUANDO, PARA QUE NO NOS RESTREGUEN POR LA CARA SUS BENEFICIOS.
POR CIERTO, LO QUE MÁS FASTIDIA A UN BANCO ES UNA RECLAMACIÓN EN LA OFICINA DEL CONSUMIDOR Y OTRA AL BANCO DE ESPAÑA.
ES POR DAR PISTAS…
