PR Newswire<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n LONDON<\/span>, April 28, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Valaris plc (“Valaris” or the “Company”) today reported a net loss attributable to the Company of $910 million<\/span>, or $4.56<\/span> per share, for the first quarter 2021 compared to a net loss of $71 million<\/span>, or $0.36<\/span> per share, in the fourth quarter 2020. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $28 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 compared to negative $10 million<\/span> in the fourth quarter 2020, and an adjusted loss of $0.39<\/span> per share in the first quarter 2021 versus an adjusted loss of $0.65<\/span> per share in the prior quarter. <\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer and President Tom Burke<\/span> said,\u00a0“This month marks two<\/span> years since the Valaris merger. We successfully integrated the two predecessor companies during this period, then subsequently transformed our Company to improve its service delivery capabilities and cost structure. As a result of these efforts, Valaris now has a higher focus on safe and reliable operations with a leaner and more flexible cost structure that is fit for purpose and complements its high-quality modern fleet of rigs and highly skilled workforce.” <\/p>\n

Burke concluded, “We are beginning to see early signs of a recovery in customer demand following the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, for which we have been reactivating rigs, including most recently one of our high-specification heavy duty harsh environment jackup rigs in advance of a long-term contract commencing later this year. We look forward to soon emerging from chapter 11 as a strong and stable company ready to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.”<\/p>\n

\n First Quarter Results<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Revenues increased to $307 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 from $297 million<\/span> in the fourth quarter 2020. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $277 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 from $250 million<\/span> in the fourth quarter 2020 primarily due to a negative adjustment in the prior quarter resulting from the modification of our charter agreements with ARO Drilling. <\/p>\n

Contract drilling expense declined to $252 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 from $305 million<\/span> in the prior quarter. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense declined to $237 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 from $274 million<\/span> in the prior quarter primarily due to fewer operating days across the fleet and lower holding costs for our stacked and marketed assets that are currently without contracts.<\/p>\n

First quarter 2021 results included a non-cash asset impairment charge of $757 million<\/span> related to two floaters.<\/p>\n

Depreciation expense of $122 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 was in line with the prior quarter. General and administrative expense declined to $24 million<\/span> from $27 million<\/span> in the prior quarter primarily due to expense reduction initiatives.<\/p>\n

Other expense increased to $30 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 from $25 million<\/span> in the prior quarter. First quarter 2021 other expense included $52 million<\/span> related to reorganization items compared with $30 million<\/span> in the prior quarter. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to losses on lease rejections in the first quarter 2021 compared to a gain on lease rejections in the prior quarter, and higher professional fees as we approach our expected emergence date. This was partially offset by other income of $21 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021, compared to $2 million<\/span> in the prior quarter, mostly related to foreign currency gains.<\/p>\n

Tax expense was $32 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 compared to a tax benefit of $113 million<\/span> in the prior quarter. The first quarter 2021 tax provision included $20 million<\/span> of discrete tax expense related to uncertain tax positions taken for prior years, compared to $125 million<\/span> of discrete tax benefit in the fourth quarter 2020 primarily resulting from the carryback under the U.S. CARES Act of U.S. net operating losses to recover taxes paid in prior years. Adjusted for discrete items, tax expense of $12 million<\/span> in the first quarter 2021 was in line with the prior quarter.<\/p>\n

\n \u00a0<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n Statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and similar words and specifically include statements involving expected financial performance; expected utilization, rig commitments and availability, day rates, revenues, operating expenses including expenses related to reorganization items, cash flow, contract status, terms and duration, contract backlog, capital expenditures, insurance, financing and funding; the offshore drilling market, including supply and demand, customer drilling programs, stacking of rigs, effects of new rigs on the market and effects of declines in commodity prices; synergies and expected additional cost savings; effective tax rates;\u00a0 expected work commitments, letters of intent; scheduled delivery dates for rigs; performance of our joint venture with Saudi Aramco; the timing of delivery, mobilization, contract commencement, relocation or other movement of rigs; our intent to sell or scrap rigs; and general market, business and industry conditions, trends and outlook. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to vary materially from those indicated, including the Company’s ability to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas<\/span> (the “Bankruptcy Court”) with respect to motions or other requests made to the Bankruptcy Court, the ability of the Company to consummate its plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), the effects of the chapter 11 cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations or business prospects; the effects of the chapter 11 cases on the Company’s business and the interests of various constituents, the length of time that the Company will operate under chapter 11 protection, risks associated with third-party motions in the chapter 11 cases, the Company’s debt levels, liquidity and ability to access financing sources, the COVID-19 outbreak and global pandemic, the related public health measures implemented by governments worldwide, which may, among other things, impact our ability to staff rigs and rotate crews; the decline in oil prices during 2020, caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic and the decisions by certain oil producers to reduce export prices and increase oil production; and its effects; cancellation, suspension, renegotiation or termination of drilling contracts and programs; potential additional asset impairments; our failure to satisfy our debt obligations; our ability to obtain financing, service our debt, fund negative cash flow and capital expenditures and pursue other business opportunities; adequacy of sources of liquidity for us and our customers; actions by regulatory authorities, rating agencies or other third parties; actions by our security holders; availability and terms of any financing; commodity price fluctuations, customer demand, new rig supply, downtime and other risks associated with offshore rig operations; severe weather or hurricanes; changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition and technology; future levels of offshore drilling activity; governmental action, civil unrest and political and economic uncertainties; terrorism, piracy and military action; risks inherent to shipyard rig construction, repair, maintenance or enhancement; our ability to enter into, and the terms of, future drilling contracts; the cancellation of letters of intent or letters of award or any failure to execute definitive contracts following announcements of letters of intent, letters of award or other expected work commitments; the outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or other claims or contract disputes; governmental regulatory, legislative and permitting requirements affecting drilling operations; our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel on commercially reasonable terms; environmental or other liabilities, risks or losses; debt restrictions that may limit our liquidity and flexibility; and cybersecurity risks and threats. In particular, the unprecedented nature of the current economic downturn, pandemic, and industry decline may make it particularly difficult to identify risks or predict the degree to which identified risks will impact the Company’s business and financial condition. In addition to the numerous factors described above, you should also carefully read and consider “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov<\/a> or on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.valaris.com<\/a><\/u>.\u00a0 Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. <\/i>\n <\/p>\n

\n Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of days under contract by the number of days in the period.\u00a0 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 and excluding suspensions. When revenue is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example, when we receive fees while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

To supplement Valaris’ condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with adjusted loss per share from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures.<\/p>\n

We believe that adjusted loss per share from continuing operations provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of Valaris’s ongoing operating results. This allows investors and others to better compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies, and to better understand the long-term performance of our business.<\/p>\n

Valaris defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss from continuing operations before income tax expense, interest expense, reorganization items, net, other (income) expense, depreciation expense, amortization, net, loss on impairment, equity in earnings of ARO, (gain) loss on asset disposals, merger transaction and integration costs and lease modification adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.<\/p>\n

Valaris defines ARO “EBITDA” as net income before income tax expense, other expense, net and depreciation expense. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our\u00a0 management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of ARO’s core operating performance and to evaluate ARO’s long-term financial performance against that of ARO’s peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of ARO’s core operating performance and makes it easier to compare ARO’s results with those of other companies within ARO’s industry. EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n Adjusted Loss Per Share<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The table below reconciles loss per share, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted loss per share for the quarters ended March\u00a031, 2021 and December\u00a031, 2020.\u00a0 Adjusted loss per share excludes impairment expense, reorganization items, merger transaction and integration costs, lease modifications and discrete tax items.<\/p>\n
