"Despite continued market headwinds, Diamond Offshore achieved earnings per share of $0.10," said Marc Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Overall, I am pleased with our third quarter results and our ability to manage costs, while remaining focused on maintaining our backlog position."

During the quarter, the Company announced new contracts for the Ocean Valiant and Ocean Scepter with Maersk in the UK and Fieldwood in Mexico, respectively. The addition of these two contracts adds 20 months of backlog.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company's total contracted backlog was $4.1 billion, which represents 27 rig years of work. Approximately 96% of the Company's available ultra-deepwater rig days for the remainder of 2016 are contracted with top tier customers.

(1)

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 September 30, 2016, our cold-stacked rigs included four ultra-deepwater semisubmersibles, three deepwater semisubmersibles, three mid-water semisubmersibles and four marketed-for-sale 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.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes that these measures provide meaningful information about the Company's performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results.  This allows investors and others to better compare the company's financial results across previous and subsequent accounting periods and to those of peer companies and to better understand the long-term performance of the Company.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered to be a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  

In order to fully assess the financial operating results of the Company, management believes that the results of operations adjusted to exclude the second quarter 2016 impairment of rigs and associated inventory, as well as the related tax effect thereof and other second quarter discrete tax items, 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, contract drilling revenue, contract drilling expense, operating income, cash flows from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
