STEINHAUSEN,
Third quarter 2018 results included net unfavorable items of $439 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, as follows:
- $432 million, $0.93 per diluted share, loss on impairment primarily for two floaters previously announced for retirement;
- $4 million, $0.01 per diluted share, in acquisition costs; and
- $3 million loss related to other unfavorable items.
After consideration of these net unfavorable items, third quarter 2018 adjusted net income was $30 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018, sequentially increased $26 million to $816 million due to higher utilization partially offset by lower revenue efficiency on the company’s ultra-deepwater fleet.
Contract drilling revenues included customer early termination fees of $37 million on the Discoverer Clear Leader in both the second and third quarters. The third quarter also included a non-cash revenue reduction of $29 million from contract intangible amortization associated with the Songa acquisition. The second quarter non-cash revenue reduction from contract intangible amortization was
Operating and maintenance expense was $447 million, compared with
General and administrative expense was $35 million, compared with $52 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to charges in the second quarter of 2018 related to the early retirement of certain personnel and a legal reimbursement, partially offset by third quarter
Depreciation expense was $201 million, down from $211 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the previously announced floater retirements.
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $160 million, compared with $148 million in the prior quarter. The increase was due to the senior secured notes issued during the third quarter of 2018 partially offset by senior secured term loan facilities assumed during the Songa acquisition that were retired. Capitalized interest was $8 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $7 million in the prior quarter. Interest income was $11 million, compared with
The Effective Tax Rate(2) was 6.7%, up from (8.0)% in the prior quarter. The increase was due to the relative blend of income from operations in certain jurisdictions and a tax benefit on the pre-tax loss in the third quarter. In addition, the second quarter of 2018 included a reasonable estimate of transition taxes associated with U.S. tax reform (“2017 Tax Act”).
Cash flows from operating activities increased $211 million sequentially to $214 million primarily due to the collection of certain receivables, decreased income tax payments, insurance prepayments, and interest payments.
Third quarter 2018 capital expenditures of $48 million were primarily related to the company’s newbuild drillships. This compares with $39 million in the previous quarter.
“We continued to operate at a high level in the third quarter, with revenue efficiency again exceeding 95%, resulting in quarterly revenue of
Thigpen added, “We remain encouraged by the increase that we are experiencing in floater contracting activity. Over the past three months, as a testament to our fleet quality, operating performance and customer relationships, we secured almost
Thigpen concluded, “In preparation for an offshore recovery, during the quarter, we also continued the high-grading of our fleet by announcing our agreement to acquire Ocean Rig. With its strong balance sheet, and fleet of 11 high-specification ultra-deepwater drillships, two of which are currently under construction, and two harsh environment semisubmersibles,

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 Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, 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.
