TRANSOCEAN LTD. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

 

·

Total contract drilling revenues were $816 million, compared with  $790 million in the second quarter of 2018;

·

Revenue efficiency(1) was 95.2%, compared with 97.4% in the prior quarter;

·

Operating and maintenance expense was $447 million, compared with $431 million in the prior period;

·

Net loss attributable to controlling interest was $409 million, $0.88 per diluted share, compared with net loss attributable to controlling interest of $1.135 billion, $2.46 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018;

·

Adjusted net income  was $30 million, $0.06 per diluted share,  excluding $439 million of net unfavorable items. This compares with adjusted net loss of $18 million, $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior quarter;

·

Adjusted normalized EBITDA margin was $341 million or 42%, compared with $311 million or 40% in the prior quarter;

·

Cash flows from operating activities were $214 million, up from $3 million in the prior quarter;

·

During the third quarter, the company entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Transocean agreed to acquire Ocean Rig in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $2.7 billion, including Ocean Rig’s net debt; and

·

Contract backlog was $11.5 billion as of the October 2018 Fleet Status Report.

 

STEINHAUSEN, Switzerland—October 29, 2018—Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) today reported net loss attributable to controlling interest of $409 million, $0.88 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

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 $30 million.

 

Operating and maintenance expense was $447 million, compared with $431 million in the prior quarter. The sequential increase was the result of the reactivation and contract preparation costs related to Development Driller III and Deepwater Nautilus, increased quarterly maintenance costs and legal fees associated with a dual activity patent settlement; offset by reduced operating costs and the recovery of certain legal fees in Norway.

 

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 Ocean Rig acquisition costs.  

 

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 $13 million in the prior quarter.

 

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 $816 million,” said Jeremy Thigpen, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also delivered an industry-leading Adjusted Normalized EBITDA margin of 42% through the efficient conversion of our industry best $11.5 billion backlog.” 

 

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 $500 million of new backlog, bringing our 12-month total to over $1.5 billion.”

 


 

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, Ocean Rig presents us with a unique opportunity to continue enhancing both our fleet and our optionality as the market recovery unfolds. We look forward to a favorable shareholder vote at our Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for November 29, and to ultimately closing the transaction in December.”

 

Further to the above referenced Ocean Rig acquisition, Mark Mey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “Consistent with our objective of protecting near-term liquidity, last week we successfully issued $750 million of seven-year priority guaranteed notes replacing the committed Ocean Rig acquisition financing with permanent financing.”


 

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.

(1) Contract drilling revenues, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, includes revenues of (a) $37 million and $112 million, respectively, resulting

from contract early terminations and cancellations, (b) $43 million and $94 million, respectively, from customer reimbursement and (c) a reduction of $29  million

and $78 million, resulting from the amortization of contract intangible assets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3) 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4) 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.

(1) Our estimates change as we file tax returns, settle disputes with tax authorities or become aware of other events and include changes in

 

(a) deferred taxes, (b) valuation allowances on deferred taxes and (c) other tax liabilities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) The three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $(30) million of additional tax expense (benefit) reflecting the cumulative effect of an

 

increase (decrease) 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 and estimating the annual effective tax rate.
