Burford Reports 1Q26 Financial Results

NEW YORK, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, today announces its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 ("1Q26"). The full detailed presentation of Burford's 1Q26 financial results can be viewed at http://investors.burfordcapital.com.

Christopher Bogart, Burford Capital's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Burford has a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of litigation assets delivering substantial cash returns and the market-leading origination engine. Burford's business is robust. We have ample liquidity, with more than $700 million of cash on hand, and have sight of around $280 million1 in cash so far this year from the portfolio.

"While the YPF loss was disappointing and caused a very large non-cash charge to our quarterly earnings, there is no cash impact from that loss. Indeed, if YPF never pays another cent, we will still have generated $236 million in cash proceeds and more than $100 million in profit from the case, and we are optimistic about a positive arbitration outcome."
