ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     Our press release dated February 14, 2006, concerning fourth quarter and full-year 2005 financial results, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is incorporated by reference herein. The press release contains certain measures (discussed below) which may be deemed “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
     In the press release, we discuss field operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005. Management believes field operating income is a useful measure of operating results since the measure only deducts expenses directly related to operations from revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income before general and administrative expenses, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are included in the press release.
     The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor will it be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Transocean Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by Transocean Inc. that the information in this report is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of Transocean Inc.

News Release
FOR RELEASE: February 14, 2006
TRANSOCEAN INC. REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2005 RESULTS
     HOUSTON—Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG) today reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 of $151.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, on revenues of $771.2 million. The results compare to a net loss of $73.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on revenues of $676.9 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Results for the corresponding three months in 2004 included a net loss of $27.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, related to our previously reported disposition of TODCO and losses on the early retirement of debt totaling $48.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
     For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, net income totaled $715.6 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, on revenues of $2,891.7 million, compared to net income of $152.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, on revenues of $2,613.9 million for the corresponding 12 months in 2004. Net income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 included a net gain from TODCO stock sales of $165.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, gains resulting from the sale of three drilling rigs of $27.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, and a loss on the early retirement of debt of $6.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The results for the comparable 12 months in 2004 included a net gain of $103.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, related to our previously reported disposition of TODCO, a gain from the sale of a drilling rig of $21.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share and losses on the early retirement of debt of $76.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
     The company continues to experience strong demand for its High-Specification Floaters fleet with 81% of the fleet committed under firm contracts in 2006, while 78% and 61% of the fleet time is under contract in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Customers are indicating a continued interest in long-term contracts extending toward the end of the decade, especially for the company’s Fifth-Generation Floaters fleet. There is also evidence of a broadening base of customers with deepwater drilling rig requirements for exploration and production drilling programs in various geographic locations. Some of these rig needs could potentially be addressed by new rig construction. The company is presently aware of a number of operators that have expressed an interest in awarding drilling contracts for newly constructed ultra-deepwater floaters. The contracted revenue backlog at February 14, 2006 for the company’s High-Specification Floaters fleet was approximately $9.7 billion, or 68% of the total fleet's contracted revenue backlog of $14.1 billion.
     The company’s fleet of 23 Other Floaters (mid-water units) is largely committed to contracts that extend into 2007, with three semisubmersible rigs remaining idle. Robust customer demand remains evident in most operating regions, including the North Sea, West Africa and India. The company was recently awarded contracts for two of its UK North Sea semisubmersibles, the Sedco 704 and Sedco 711, each for one-year durations and at significantly improved dayrates of $310,000 and $283,000, respectively. Both rigs are now committed to contracts that extend into 2008. The company has begun the reactivation of two previously idle semisubmersibles, the Transocean Prospect and Transocean Winner, both supported by multi-year contracts, which are expected to commence by June 2006 and October 2006, respectively. Two additional reactivations remain possible during 2006 involving the

 


 

semisubmersible rigs C. Kirk Rhein, Jr. and Transocean Wildcat. At present, 70% of the Other Floaters fleet is under contract commitments in 2006, with 38% committed in 2007 and 23% in 2008.
     The company’s 25 Jackups are experiencing solid demand and rising dayrates in all regions. Contract durations are lengthening, with multi-year opportunities available in Asia, the Middle East and West Africa. The recently announced three-year contracts for drilling programs in India involving five of the company’s jackup rigs increased the 2006 committed time in this sector of the fleet to 83%, while 2007 and 2008 committed time improved to 64% and 39%, respectively.
     Lost revenues from out-of-service time resulting from the timing of shipyard and maintenance projects and rig mobilizations, as well as possible delays in the start of higher dayrate contracts will mostly offset anticipated revenue growth in the first two quarters of 2006. Delays in the start of higher dayrate contracts are generally related to contract provisions which allow our customers to extend contracts in order to complete a well-in-progress. The company currently expects operating and maintenance costs to exceed the level of costs reported for the fourth quarter of 2005 by approximately $30 to $50 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $70 to $90 million in the second quarter. The expected cost increases are due in part to the reactivation of the semisubmersible rigs Transocean Prospect and the Transocean Winner, the possible reactivation of the semisubmersible rig C. Kirk Rhein, Jr., shipyard projects, including projects on the drillship Discoverer Seven Seas, semisubmersible rigs Transocean Marianas and Sedco 709 and numerous maintenance projects on rigs across the fleet. Operating and maintenance costs for the second half of the year are expected to gradually decline toward the level experienced in the fourth quarter of 2005, although the possible reactivation of the semisubmersible rigs C. Kirk Rhein, Jr. and Transocean Wildcat, inflationary cost pressure and other factors could slow the anticipated decline. The combination of higher operating and maintenance expenses and lost revenue due to out-of-service time and delays in the start of higher dayrate contracts are expected to lead to generally flat earnings in each of the first two quarters of 2006 relative to the fourth quarter of 2005, excluding the effect of gains from potential rig sales. Our expected results during these quarters will be sensitive to the actual timing of shipyards, mobilizations and contract commencements.
     Operations Quarterly Review
     Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005 improved slightly to $771.2 million, compared to revenues of $762.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The improvement was due chiefly to higher average dayrates, particularly among the Other Floaters fleet, and improved revenues from integrated services activities, substantially offset by increased out-of-service time due to rig repairs and planned shipyard programs. The semisubmersible rigs Transocean Marianas and Deepwater Nautilus spent all or a significant portion of the quarter undergoing repairs following damage caused by hurricanes, while the jackup rigs Trident IV, Trident VIII and Shelf Explorer were in shipyards for all or a significant portion of the quarter for planned maintenance and repairs ahead of the commencement of new contracts. The Deepwater Nautilus returned to work in December 2005; however, the rig is expected to require an additional 60 days of out-of-service time in 2006 to complete repairs to its mooring system. The Transocean Marianas is expected to return to work by the end of the first quarter of 2006, but will require approximately 30 days additional out-of-service time in 2006 for repairs. The Shelf Explorer has commenced its new contract in Indonesia while the Trident IV and Trident VIII are expected to complete shipyard programs and commence new contracts by the end of February 2006 and March 2006, respectively. The increased level of out-of-service time resulted in a decline in fleet utilization to 78% during the three months ended December 31, 2005, from 82% in the previous quarter of 2005, with utilization of the High-Specification Floaters and Jackups experiencing the most significant reduction. The average fleet dayrate increased 6% to $113,300 during the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $107,100 in the previous quarter of 2005.
     Operating income before general and administrative expenses(1) totaled $207.2 million and field operating income (defined as revenues less operating and maintenance expense) was $314.2 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, down from $222.9 million and $324.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decline was due chiefly to higher operating and maintenance expense which increased 4% from the previous quarter in 2005 to $457.0 million, primarily resulting from rig repair costs and higher shipyard and integrated services activities. Repairs to the Deepwater Nautilus and Transocean Marianas totaled approximately

 


 

$13 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, while costs, net of deferrals, associated with scheduled rig maintenance ahead of new contracts for the semisubmersible rig Sedco Energy, drillship Peregrine I and jackup rigs Shelf Explorer and Trident VIII were approximately $27 million.
     Effective Tax Rate
     The company’s effective tax rate(2) for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 was 16.8%, excluding the previously mentioned effects on income before tax related to the gains from the TODCO stock sales, rig sales and losses on retirement of debt, and excluding various discrete tax items. The actual effective tax rate of approximately 12% for the fourth quarter of 2005 reflects the effect of the lower annual effective tax rate, in addition to the impact of discreet tax items for the settlement of prior year tax disputes, adjustments of deferred tax and valuation allowances and other changes in estimates. The impact of these items in the fourth quarter of 2005 was a reduction in the tax provision of approximately $5 million.
     Share Buyback
     During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the company purchased $400 million of its ordinary shares, or 6,014,751 shares, pursuant to the $2 billion share repurchase authorization granted by the company’s Board of Directors in October 2005. The shares were purchased at an average price of $66.50 per share.
