Thank you, Magnus. We have been busy on the contracting front to start the year. Year-to-date 2026, we've secured 5 new commitments, adding approximately $145 million to our backlog. Together with the 2 contracts we secured in December, this marks 7 new commitments since our last quarterly report. I'm pleased to see both short- and long-term commitments in this mix. Feeding idle space in our 2026 schedule remains a key focus, while at the same time, we're mindful about position our fleet to capitalize on improving market conditions from late 2026 and onwards. I'll now spend time discussing the commitments we secured since the last quarterly report. In Americas, the Ran received a 1-well extension with ENI in Mexico. The well has an anticipated duration of 75 days, keeping the rig on firm contract through March 2026. ENI remains a core customer of ours in Mexico and globally. Ongoing engagements leaves us reassured that we'll have more positive news soon for the Run. Additionally, the Odin secured a contract for 2 wells plus an optional well with an undisclosed operator in the United States. The campaign is expected to commence in July 2026 with an estimated firm duration of 120 days. As a result, the Odin is now committed into November with options that could keep the rig utilized in the U.S. through mid-2027. Staying in Americas, today, we announced a 2-year contract extension for the new in Mexico, keeping the rig committed into 2028. This extension highlights the strength of our business in Mexico, a market that remains critical to the jack-up industry. Moving to West Africa, the Natt secured work with ENI, keeping the rig busy through the end of this month. The rig is scheduled to move to Nigeria in early Q2 to commence its 11 months contract with Shell. In Asia, Brunei Shell extended the Saga contract by an additional 5 months. The Saga is now committed into April 2027 with an additional 1-year option remaining available under the contract. In Thailand, the Idun secured a 75-day extension with PTTEP, extending its commitment into the second quarter of this year. And finally, in Vietnam, we have entered into a contract with Thang Long for the Gunnlod for a 1-well campaign anticipated to commence in May. The well has an estimated duration of 70 days and should place the rig well to find follow-on work in the region. I remain proud of the continued contracting success, which is a testament to our strong customer relationship and ability to deliver reliable and exceptional operational performance day in and day out. Now looking ahead, as of today, our 2026 fleet coverage stands at 64%. With the inclusion of 5 newly acquired rigs, our coverage for the first half of the year currently sits at 80%. As a comparison, before factoring in these new rigs, this coverage figure would have been approximately 85%. Based on current customer engagements, we're confident that in the coming months, our fleet will continue to secure commitments and bring our contract coverage above 70%. On a full year basis, we see a pathway that allows contracting days in 2026 to modestly exceed the numbers of days achieved in 2025. In parallel, and as I noted by various industry analysts, tender activity is entering levels not seen since January 2023. According to information from Petrodata, there are approximately 120 rig years on the tender and pretender phase for opportunities commencing within the next 12 months. And based on operator schedules, we anticipate a meaningful amount of these will be awarded by mid-2026. Should this materialize, we believe that several of the awarded rigs will need to undertake lengthy contract preparations, leading to a boost in utilization from this year. Noting the strength of the tendering pipeline, coupled with current utilization levels, I remain optimistic that the foundation is set for a positive momentum as we progress to 2026. To close, I would like to reiterate key points around our 2025 execution and leave you with some thoughts on the business outlook. At the beginning of last year, we indicated that we were comfortable with consensus for full year adjusted EBITDA that stood at $460 million. During the year, however, we faced unforeseen headwinds, including temporary contract suspensions and sanction-related contract terminations. We responded by leaning into the Borr Drilling platform, which continues to be our competitive advantage. We filled the white space through close customer relationships, deep market knowledge and our track record of safe and reliable execution. As a result, we delivered full year adjusted EBITDA of $470 million, which was at the top of our final guidance range. Further, in 2025, we took decisive action and completed successful equity and debt transactions that strengthen our liquidity and position the company to pursue consolidation opportunities. Then in December, we announced the accretive acquisition of 5 premium jack-ups. We act opportunistically and bought these assets at an attractive price at a point in the cycle when demand is improving. We expect the transaction to be immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA and to reduce our debt per rig. Looking ahead, we expect market conditions to continue improving through the second half of 2026 with ongoing dynamics supporting a clear recovery in day rates in 2027 and beyond. Our expanded fleet will provide us with scale and operational flexibility, providing Borr Drilling to deliver long-term value to our shareholders. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Q&A.
