Record Operational and Safety Performance
Significant Improvements to Liquidity and Capital Structure
Repurchased $940 Million Aggregate Principal Amount of Senior Notes
Raised $586 Million of Net Proceeds Through Equity Offering
Expense Management Plans On Track
Ensco plc (NYSE: ESV) today reported earnings per share of $2.04 for
second quarter 2016 compared to $1.11 a year ago. Results from
discontinued operations were zero cents per share in second quarter 2016
and a loss of $0.04 per share last year. Earnings per share from
continuing operations in second quarter 2016 were $2.04 compared to
$1.15 a year ago.
Several items in continuing operations influenced these comparisons:
-
$261 million or $0.83 per share gain included in second quarter 2016
other income related to the repurchase of $940 million aggregate
principal amount of senior notes
-
$205 million or $0.70 per share of early contract termination
settlements included in second quarter 2016 revenue:
-
$185 million for ENSCO DS-9 effective May 2016
-
$20 million for ENSCO 8503 effective June 2016
-
$7 million or $0.03 per share loss included in second quarter 2015
other expense related to a previously reported debt retirement
Chief Executive Officer and President Carl Trowell said, “We took
further proactive steps to improve our capital structure and liquidity
during the second quarter. We repurchased $861 million of senior notes
at a 28% discount through a tender and another $79 million of senior
notes at a 21% discount on the open market. Additionally, we raised $586
million of net proceeds through a 65.6 million share offering. As a
result, we increased liquidity to more than $4 billion at quarter end,
composed of $1.8 billion of cash and short-term investments and a fully
available $2.25 billion revolving credit facility, which provides us
with enhanced capital management flexibility as we navigate through the
market downturn. Our leverage ratio also improved significantly due to
these actions.”
Mr. Trowell added, "We achieved record operational utilization of 99%
for the fleet during the quarter and set a new safety record for the
first half of the year. Our expense management plans remain on track to
achieve our cost savings targets."
Second Quarter Results
Continuing Operations
Revenues were
$910 million in second quarter 2016 compared to $1.059 billion a year
ago primarily due to a decline in reported utilization to 61% from 76%
in second quarter 2015. Revenues benefited from $205 million of early
contract termination settlements in second quarter 2016 as noted above.
The average day rate for the fleet declined to $195,000 in second
quarter 2016 from $237,000 a year ago.
Contract drilling expense declined 30% to $350 million from $503 million
last year due to fewer rig operating days and disciplined expense
management.
Depreciation expense declined to $112 million from $141 million in
second quarter 2015 due to non-cash asset impairments recorded in fourth
quarter 2015, partially offset by newbuilds joining the active fleet.
General and administrative expense declined to $27 million in second
quarter 2016 from $30 million last year, mostly due to reduced
compensation costs.
Other income was $210 million compared to other expense of $55 million a
year ago. The year-to-year comparison was influenced by a $261 million
gain from the purchase of $940 million aggregate principal amount of
senior notes at a discount during second quarter 2016 and a $7 million
loss to complete a previously reported debt retirement in second quarter
2015. Interest expense in second quarter 2016 was $54 million, net of
$13 million of interest that was capitalized, compared to interest
expense of $51 million in second quarter 2015, net of $27 million of
interest that was capitalized.
The effective tax rate was 5.8% in second quarter 2016 compared to 17.5%
a year ago. Excluding discrete items such as debt repurchases and early
contract termination settlements in second quarter 2016 noted above, the
effective tax rate was 19.9% compared to 17.5% a year ago. The
year-to-year comparison was influenced by the mix of earnings from
various tax jurisdictions.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued
operations include one floater and one jackup held for sale, as well as
rigs and other assets no longer on the Company’s balance sheet. The net
loss from discontinued operations was $0.2 million for second quarter
2016 compared to $10 million a year ago. Second quarter 2015 results
included a pre-tax loss on impairment of $7 million.
Segment Highlights for Continuing Operations
Floaters
Floater revenues were $636
million in second quarter 2016 compared to $634 million last year.
Excluding $205 million related to early contract termination settlements
previously noted, revenues declined 32%. This year-to-year decline in
revenues was mostly due to lower utilization in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
and a decline in the average day rate to $360,000 from $417,000 a year
ago. Reported utilization was 57% compared to 76% a year ago. Adjusted
for uncontracted rigs and planned downtime, operational utilization was
a record 99% compared to 92% last year.
Floater contract drilling expense declined 25% to $209 million in second
quarter 2016 from $278 million a year ago. Rig operating days declined
year-to-year along with lower unit labor and repair and maintenance
costs.
Jackups
Jackup revenues were $251
million compared to $384 million a year ago, mostly due to fewer rig
operating days and a decline in average day rates to $112,000 from
$140,000 a year ago. Reported utilization was 63% compared to 77% in
second quarter 2015. Adjusted for uncontracted rigs and planned
downtime, operational utilization in second quarter 2016 was 99%
compared to 98% a year ago.
Contract drilling expense declined 37% to $122 million from $193 million
last year. This decline in contract drilling expense was mostly due to
fewer rig operating days as well as lower unit labor and repair and
maintenance costs.
Other
Other is composed of managed
drilling rigs. Revenues declined to $22 million from $41 million in
second quarter 2015. Contract drilling expense declined to $19 million
from $32 million a year ago. The completion of three managed jackup
contracts in Mexico drove these revenue and contract drilling expense
declines.

Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of days under
contract by the number of days in the period. Days under contract
equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized
day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract
terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue
is earned but is deferred and amortized over a future period, for
example when a rig earns revenue while mobilizing to commence a new
contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are
excluded from days under contract.
|
|
|
|
For newly-constructed or acquired rigs, the number of days in the
period begins upon commencement of drilling operations for rigs with
a contract or when the rig becomes available for drilling operations
for rigs without a contract.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling
revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring
reimbursable revenues, lump sum revenues and revenues attributable
to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the aggregate
number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days
associated with certain mobilizations, demobilizations, shipyard
contracts and standby contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented
on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with a net
debt-to-capital ratio. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure defined
as long-term debt less cash and short-term investments. We review net
debt as part of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital
structure and leverage, and believe that this measure is useful to
investors as part of their assessment of our business. Non-GAAP
financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
