TRANSOCEAN LTD. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Total contract drilling revenues were $656 million (total adjusted contract drilling revenues of $713 million), compared with $653 million in the first quarter of 2021 (total adjusted contract drilling revenues of $709 million);
Revenue efficiency(1) was 98.0%, compared with 97.4% in the prior quarter;
Operating and maintenance expense was $434 million, compared with $435 million in the prior period;
Net loss attributable to controlling interest was $103 million, $0.17 per diluted share, compared with net loss attributable to controlling interest of $99 million, $0.16 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021;
Adjusted EBITDA was $255 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $245 million in the prior quarter; and
Contract backlog was $7.3 billion as of the July 2021 Fleet Status Report.

STEINHAUSEN, Switzerland—August 2, 2021—Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) today reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of $103 million, $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Second quarter 2021 results included net favorable item of $6 million, or $0.1 per diluted share, related to discrete tax items. After consideration of this net favorable item, second quarter 2021 adjusted net loss was $109 million, $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $117 million adjusted net loss, $0.19 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021.

Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased sequentially by $3 million to $656 million, primarily due to three rigs that returned to work following a shipyard stay, partially offset by two rigs that went idle in the second quarter.

A non-cash revenue reduction of $57 million was recognized in the second quarter as a result of contract intangible amortization associated with the Songa and Ocean Rig acquisitions. This compares with $56 million in the prior quarter.

Operating and maintenance expense was $434 million, compared with $435 million in the prior quarter.

General and administrative expense was $39 million, in line with the first quarter of 2021.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $115 million, in line with the first quarter of 2021. Interest income was $4 million, compared with $3 million in the previous quarter.

The Effective Tax Rate(2) was (4.6)%, down from 17.8% in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates, releases of uncertain tax positions related to settlements and other various discrete items. The Effective Tax Rate excluding discrete items was (10.2)% compared to (5.7)% in previous quarter.


Cash flows provided by operating activities were $153 million, compared to $96 million in the prior quarter. This was primarily due to the timing of interest payments and reduced personnel-related payments.

Second quarter 2021 capital expenditures of $41 million were primarily related to our newbuild drillships under construction. This compares with $59 million in the previous quarter.

“Operationally, we delivered another solid quarter, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 36% on Adjusted Revenue of $713 million,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Thigpen. “These better than anticipated results were driven largely by our continued focus on operational excellence, as evidenced by our strong uptime performance, which resulted in revenue efficiency of 98 percent.”

“During the quarter, we took meaningful steps to improve our liquidity by agreeing to delay delivery and payment of our two newbuild drillships, the Deepwater Atlas and the Deepwater Titan, ultimately deferring over $450 million of near-term capex. Additionally, we further improved our liquidity through the initiation of our ATM program that provides us with additional optionality. We will remain pragmatic yet disciplined in using this tool now and in the future.”

Thigpen concluded: “As we enter the back half of this year, we remain encouraged by the upcycle that is currently unfolding. Assuming oil prices remain supportive, we see utilization and dayrates for our ultra-deepwater assets materially improving as we move into 2022.”

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.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, estimated duration of customer contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates and locations, planned shipyard projects and other out-of-service time, sales of drilling units, timing of the company’s newbuild deliveries, operating hazards and delays, risks associated with international operations, actions by customers and other third parties, the fluctuation of current and future prices of oil and gas, the global and regional supply and demand for oil and gas, the intention to scrap certain drilling rigs, the success of our business following prior acquisitions, the effects of the spread of and mitigation efforts by governments, businesses and individuals related to contagious illnesses, such as COVID-19, and other factors, including those and other risks discussed in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in the company's other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on the SEC's website at: www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the other consequences of such a development worsen), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 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, excluding revenues for contract terminations, reimbursements and contract intangible amortization, 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 rig calendar days in the measurement period, expressed as a percentage.

(3) Revenue efficiency is defined as actual contract drilling revenues, excluding revenues for contract terminations and reimbursements, for the measurement period divided by the maximum revenue calculated 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 revenues for incentive provisions, reimbursements and contract terminations.

(1) Our estimates change as we file tax returns, settle disputes with tax authorities, or become aware of changes in laws and other events that have an effect on our (a) deferred taxes, (b) valuation allowances on deferred taxes and (c) other tax liabilities.

(2) The three months ended June 30, 2021 included $2 million of additional tax expense, reflecting the cumulative effect of an increase in the annual effective tax rate from the previous quarter estimate.

(3) Our effective tax rate is calculated as income tax expense divided by income before income taxes.

(4) Our effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is calculated as income tax expense, excluding various discrete items (such as changes in estimates and tax on items excluded from income before income taxes), divided by income before income tax expense, excluding gains and losses on sales and similar items pursuant to the accounting standards for income taxes related to estimating the annual effective tax rate.
