FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this press release or made during the
above conference call that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal

uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated or expected by management of the

review those reports carefully when considering these
forward-looking statements. Copies of these reports are
available through the Company's website at
www.diamondoffshore.com. These risk factors include, among
others, risks associated with worldwide demand for drilling
services, level of activity in the oil and gas industry, renewing
or replacing expired or terminated contracts, contract
cancellations and terminations, maintenance and realization of
backlog, competition and industry fleet capacity, impairments and
retirements, declaration of dividends, operating risks, changes in
tax laws and rates, regulatory initiatives and compliance with
governmental regulations, construction of new builds, casualty
losses, and various other factors, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. Given these risk factors, investors and
analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of
the date of this press release. The Company expressly
disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any
updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect

Average dayrate is
defined as contract drilling revenue for all of the specified rigs
in our fleet per revenue earning day. A revenue earning day
is defined as a 24-hour period during which a rig earns a dayrate
after commencement of operations and excludes mobilization,
demobilization and contract preparation days.
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
Utilization is
calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days divided by
the total calendar days in the period for all specified rigs in our
fleet (including cold-stacked rigs, but excluding rigs under
construction). As of March 31, 2016, our cold-stacked rigs
included three ultra-deepwater semisubmersibles, four deepwater
semisubmersibles, five mid-water semisubmersibles and four jack-up
rigs.
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
Operational
efficiency is calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days
divided by the sum of total revenue-earning days plus the number of
days (or portions thereof) associated with unanticipated equipment
downtime.
