Events occurring on or after 1 January 2025 and up until the publication date are also covered in this report where indicated. This report has been informed by the European Sutainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) with regards to potential future reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), but it does not seek to fully comply with any specific reporting standards requirements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report are forward looking statements, including those regarding [future guidance, sustainability or ESG projects, targets or goals, including policies or practices and expectations thereunder, emissions targets, expectations for technological developments or anticipated benefits or timelines, the offshore drilling market and demand fundamentals, realization and timing of integration synergies, costs, the benefits or results of acquisitions or dispositions such as the acquisition of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (the “Diamond Transaction”), capital expenditures, capital allocation expectations, project schedules, and duration, any asset sales or the retirement of rigs, access to capital and fleet condition and utilization].
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference, the words “guidance,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “on track,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would,” “achieve,” “shall,” “target,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward looking statements, and are not intended to create legal rights of obligations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of publication, we cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those detailed in Noble’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports Form 10-Q and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, risks related to the recently completed Diamond Transaction, including the risk that the benefits of the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, market conditions, changes in technology, customer actions, stakeholder preferences and regulatory changes. We cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, we cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. You should consider these risks and uncertainties when you are evaluating us. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking sustainability-related statements have been and may in the future be based on current or historical goals, targets, aspirations, commitments, or estimates; standards for measuring and reporting progress that are still developing; diligence, internal controls, and processes that continue to evolve; data, certifications, or representations provided or reviewed by third parties, including information from acquired entities that is incomplete, subject to ongoing review, has not yet been integrated into the Company’s reporting processes, or, once integrated, is not reconcilable with such processes; and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.
