Lots of moving pieces here.

  • I’m trying to figure where the SFL Hercules SPS expense is reported. Even if it was capitalized over 3-5 years, it should still be a significant entry. SFL mgmt report the total cost as $100M.
  • Some vessel sales. But, I expected the Suezmax proceeds would be significantly more
  • The size of the financing is impressive - remaining capex on new car carriers, refinancing of both drilling assets, 3 Suezmax vessels, etc.
  • A buyback announcement, plus an ATM offering.
  • revenue should improve with other drilling rig now operating
