Hercules Offshore, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results

HOUSTON, March 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hercules Offshore, Inc. (Nasdaq: HERO) today reported a net loss of $361.8 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, on revenue of $27.5 million for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 for the Predecessor Company, and a net loss of $23.7 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, on revenue of $32.4 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor Company. Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 6, 2015, Hercules adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to "Successor" relate to the financial position of the reorganized Hercules as of and subsequent to November 6, 2015. References to "Predecessor" refer to the financial position of Hercules as of and prior to November 6, 2015 and the results of operations through November 6, 2015. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the financial statements on or after November 6, 2015 are not comparable with the financial statements prior to that date.

As outlined in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Predecessor results for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 include a net charge of approximately $345.6 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, consisting primarily of a $342.7 million charge for reorganization items. Successor results for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 include a charge for reorganization items of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. For the fourth quarter 2014, the Predecessor reported a net loss of $154.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, on revenue of $178.7 million. Predecessor results for the fourth quarter 2014 include a non-cash impairment charge of property and equipment for $117.0 million, or $0.73 per diluted share.

For the period from January 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015, the Predecessor reported a net loss of $602.5 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, on revenue of $303.2 million, and a net loss of $23.7 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, on revenue of $32.4 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. For the twelve month period ending December 31, 2014, the Predecessor reported a net loss of $216.1 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, on revenue of $900.3 million. As outlined in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Predecessor results for the period from January 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 include a net charge of approximately $384.3 million, or $2.38 per diluted share, primarily related to reorganization, restructuring and financing items. Predecessor results for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2014 include a net charge of approximately $196.8 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, consisting of a $199.5 million non-cash impairment charge of property and equipment, a $22.6 million net gain on the sale of cold stacked drilling rigs, and a $19.9 million charge related to retirement of our 7.125% senior secured notes and issuance of our 6.75% senior notes.

John T. Rynd, Chief Executive Officer and President of Hercules Offshore stated, "We closed out 2015 with the drilling industry at its weakest point in over 30 years, driven by the sharp decline in the price of crude oil. Both our rig and liftboat segments in all regions have been negatively impacted. In an effort to realign our cost structure to better reflect the weak environment, we have made significant reductions to our organization and capital spending programs, and will continue to be vigilant with our cost curtailment efforts. As previously disclosed, we are also working diligently with our Board of Directors and advisors on reviewing our strategic alternatives to maximize the value of the Company.

"Looking into 2016 and beyond, we do not expect business conditions to rebound without a material and sustained rally in oil prices. The duration of this low commodity price environment is uncertain, which places greater emphasis on liquidity and drove us to proactively restructure our balance sheet last year. We emerged from our restructuring process with significantly less debt and over $500 million in cash, including $200 million reserved for the final shipyard payment on our newbuild rig the Hercules Highlander. Construction of the Hercules Highlander is progressing as scheduled, with delivery expected during the second quarter 2016. We are working closely with our customer, Maersk Oil & Gas, and the shipyard to ensure timely delivery and acceptance of the rig prior to its departure to the U.K. North Sea, where it will commence on its five-year contract."

Domestic Offshore

Revenue generated from Domestic Offshore by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $10.3 million, and $9.9 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor revenue was $90.2 million. The 78% decrease in revenue was driven largely by lower dayrates and utilization on a reduced rig fleet. Operating expense reported by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $5.4 million and $9.0 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor operating expense was $59.3 million. The 76% decline in operating expense is largely attributable to a reduction in the number of marketed rigs in operation. Domestic Offshore reported nearly breakeven operating income by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 and an operating loss of $0.6 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor reported an operating loss of $104.2 million for Domestic Offshore, including a non-cash asset impairment charge of property and equipment for $117.0 million.

International Offshore

Revenue generated from International Offshore by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $12.4 million and $17.3 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor revenue was $64.6 million. The 54% decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower contracted dayrates for the rigs working for Saudi Aramco and idle time on the Hercules 208, Hercules 267 and Hercules Resilience, partially offset by full utilization on the Hercules 260. Operating expense reported by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $13.3 million and $14.4 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor operating expense was $54.0 million. The 49% decline in operating expense was primarily driven by cost reduction measures on the idle rigs as well as higher fourth quarter 2014 expense related to the mobilization cost of the Hercules Triumph to the North Sea. International Offshore reported an operating loss of $10.3 million by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 and an operating loss of $1.6 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor reported an operating loss of $11.0 million for International Offshore.

International Liftboats

Revenue generated from International Liftboats by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $4.8 million and $5.3 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor revenue was $23.8 million. The 58% decrease in revenue was driven primarily by lower dayrates and utilization. Operating expense reported by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 was $3.8 million and $6.3 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor operating expense was $16.1 million. The 38% decline in operating expense reflects our cost reduction measures and lower activity levels. International Liftboats reported an operating loss of $1.4 million by the Predecessor for the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 and an operating loss of $3.2 million for the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for the Successor. Fourth quarter 2014 Predecessor reported operating income of $0.9 million for International Liftboats.

Reorganization Items

For the period from October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015, the Predecessor incurred $342.7 million of Reorganization Items, consisting of a $1.0 billion non-cash adjustment of assets due to the application of fresh start accounting, a $686.6 million non-cash gain on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, and $10.0 million of other items related to the reorganization, principally professional fees. For the period from November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015, the Successor incurred $1.3 million of Reorganization Items, primarily for professional fees.

Non-GAAP

References in the Selected Financial and Operating Data tables to the change and the percentage change combine the Successor Company and Predecessor Company results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 in order to provide comparability of such information to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. While this combined presentation is a non-GAAP presentation for which there is no comparable GAAP measure, management believes that providing this financial information is the most relevant and useful method for making comparisons to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

Certain non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the Company have been provided for additional meaningful information. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In order to fully assess the financial operating results, management believes that the adjusted net income figures included in this release are appropriate measures of the continuing and normal operations of the Company. However, these measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, net income, operating income, cash flows from operations, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables that follow the financial statements. Please see the attached Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a complete description of the adjustments made to Revenue, Operating Income, Net Income and Diluted Income per Share.

Utilization is defined as the total number of days our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, were under contract, known as operating days, in the period as a percentage of the total number of available days in the period.  Days during which our rigs and liftboats were undergoing major refurbishments, upgrades or construction, and days during which our rigs and liftboats are cold stacked, are not counted as available days. Days during which our liftboats are in the shipyard undergoing drydocking or inspection are considered available days for the purposes of calculating utilization.

(2)

Average revenue per rig or liftboat per day is defined as revenue earned by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of operating days for our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period.

(3)

Average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day is defined as operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, incurred by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of available days in the period.  We use available days to calculate average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day rather than operating days, which are used to calculate average revenue per rig or liftboat per day, because we incur operating expenses on our rigs and liftboats even when they are not under contract and earning a dayrate.

 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures


 (Unaudited)


 (In thousands, except per share data)


















We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful information. Non-GAAP financial measures we may present from time to time are revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income or diluted earnings per share excluding certain charges or amounts. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, they should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the periods January 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015, October 1, 2015 to November 6, 2015 and November 6, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the following tables:
