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."
