Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended
Operating and maintenance expense was $599 million, compared to $618 million in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the non-cash cost resulting from the resolution of certain litigation, which did not reoccur in the second quarter, partially offset by increased costs related to increased fleet activity and higher reimbursable costs.

The Effective Tax Rate(2) was 14.2%, up from (95.8)% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to losses on rig impairments and the release of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. Excluding discrete items, the Effective Tax Rate was 70.0% compared to (62.3)% in the previous quarter. In the second quarter, cash paid for taxes was $31 million.
Cash provided by operating activities was $128 million during the second quarter, representing an increase of $102 million compared to the prior quarter. The sequential increase was primarily due to increased cash received from customers and decreased payroll-related payments that regularly occur in the first quarter of each year.
Second quarter 2025 capital expenditures were $24 million, compared to $60 million in the prior quarter.
