TRANSOCEAN LTD. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

 

·

Total contract drilling revenues were $754 million (total adjusted contract drilling revenues of $799 million), compared with  $748 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 (total adjusted contract drilling revenues of $770 million);

·

Revenue efficiency(1) was 98%, compared with 96% in the prior quarter;

·

Operating and maintenance expense was $508 million, compared with $497 million in the prior period;

·

Net loss attributable to controlling interest was $171 million, $0.28 per diluted share, compared with net loss attributable to controlling interest of $242 million, $0.48 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2018;

·

Adjusted net loss was $181 million, $0.30 per diluted share, excluding $10 million of net favorable items. This compares with adjusted net loss of $171 million, $0.34 per diluted share, in the prior quarter;

·

Adjusted EBITDA was $254 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $260 million in the prior quarter; and

·

Contract backlog was $12.1 billion as of the April 2019 Fleet Status Report.

 

STEINHAUSEN, Switzerland—April 29, 2019—Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) today reported net loss attributable to controlling interest of $171 million, $0.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

First quarter 2019 results included net favorable items of $10 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, as follows:

·

$25 million, $0.05 per diluted share, related to discrete tax items; and

·

$3 million gain on bargain purchase and disposal of one floater previously announced for retirement.

These unfavorable items were partially offset by:

·

$18 million, $0.03 per diluted share, loss on retirement of debt.

 

After consideration of these net favorable items, first quarter 2019 adjusted net loss was $181 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.


 

Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019,  sequentially increased $6 million due to a net increase of $43 million due to a full quarter of revenues from three working rigs acquired in the Ocean Rig acquisition in December, higher revenue efficiency for our ultra-deepwater floaters and weather-related downtime in the fourth quarter for two of our harsh environment rigs that was not repeated in the first quarter. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases due to lower utilization primarily for our ultra-deepwater fleet and reduced activity related to rigs that were retired.

 

The first quarter included a non-cash revenue reduction of $45 million from contract intangible amortization associated with the Songa and Ocean Rig acquisitions. The fourth quarter non-cash revenue reduction from contract intangible amortization was $34 million. Fourth quarter contract drilling revenues included the final customer early termination fees of  $12 million on the Discoverer Clear Leader.

 

Operating and maintenance expense was $508 million, compared with $497 million in the prior quarter. The sequential increase was due to a full quarter of activity as a result of the Ocean Rig acquisition partially offset by reduced activity due to lower legacy ultra-deepwater utilization and the disposition of two ultra-deepwater and one midwater rig.

 

General and administrative expense was $49 million, compared with  $54 million in the prior quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to acquisition costs for Ocean Rig in the fourth quarter that were not repeated in the first quarter. 

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was $217 million,  up from $204 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to a full quarter of depreciation for the Ocean Rig fleet.

 

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $166 million, compared with $165 million in the prior quarter and capitalized interest sequentially increased $1 million to $9 million. Interest income was $10 million, compared with $17 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to reduction in invested cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Effective Tax Rate(2) was 4.5%,  up from (82.6)% in the prior quarter.  The increase was due to an increase in tax expense related to the U.S. base erosion and anti-abuse tax, offset by the release of certain valuation allowances and uncertain tax provisions. Additionally, the relative blend of income from operations in certain jurisdictions and fourth quarter financial results impacted tax expense.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities was $51 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $238 million in the prior quarter. First quarter cash used in operating activities increased primarily due to reduced collections on customer receivables and increased cash used in our operations including payments for suppliers and interest.

 

First quarter 2019 capital expenditures of  $52 million were related to the company’s newbuild drillships along with capital expenditures relating to asset and inventory management systems, reactivation of one rig and capital upgrades for certain rigs in our existing fleet. This compares with $44 million in the previous quarter.

 

“Operationally, we delivered a strong quarter, with almost $800 million of adjusted revenue, driven by 98% revenue efficiency across our fleet,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Thigpen. “Additionally, during the quarter, we added over $370 million to our industry leading $12.1 billion backlog, the majority of which was attributable to two new contracts with Petrobras for our recently acquired ultra-deepwater drillships, the Corcovado and the Mykonos.”

 

“Over the past four quarters, we have secured over $2 billion in new contract awards; and, based on our recent customer engagements, it appears that the stabilization of oil prices, and the continued


 

improvement in offshore project economics, have combined to provide our customers with the requisite confidence to move forward with more offshore projects.”  

 

“With the recent high-grading of our fleet, an industry-leading backlog, and a solid liquidity position, Transocean is well-positioned to capitalize on what we believe to be the early stages of a sustained recovery in offshore drilling.”


 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). We believe certain financial measures, such as Adjusted Contract Drilling Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under U.S. GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

All non-GAAP measure reconciliations to the most comparative U.S. GAAP measures are displayed in quantitative schedules on the company’s website at: www.deepwater.com.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the company or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

(1) Average daily revenue is defined as contract drilling revenues earned per operating day. An operating day is defined as a calendar day during which a rig

is contracted to earn a dayrate during the firm contract period after commencement of operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) Rig utilization is defined as the total number of operating days divided by the total number of available rig calendar days in the measurement period, expressed

as a percentage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3) Revenue efficiency is defined as actual contract drilling revenues for the measurement period divided by the maximum revenue calculation for the measurement

period, expressed as a percentage.  Maximum revenue is defined as the greatest amount of contract drilling revenues the drilling unit could earn for the

measurement period, excluding amounts related to incentive provisions.
