TRANSOCEAN LTD. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Revenues were $1.884 billion, compared with $2.043 billion in the first quarter of 2015;
Operating and maintenance expenses were $197 million, including $788 million in net favorable items associated with Macondo-related settlement agreements and insurance recoveries. This compares with $1.084 billion in the prior period;
Adjusted net income was $408 million, $1.11 per diluted share, excluding net unfavorable items. This compares with $398 million, $1.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015;
Net income attributable to controlling interest was $342 million, $0.93 per diluted share, including $66 million of net unfavorable items. This compares with first quarter net loss of $483 million, $1.33 per diluted share, including $881 million of net unfavorable items;
The Annual Effective Tax Rate(1) was 16.9 percent, down from 25.8 percent in the prior quarter;
Cash flows from operating activities were $1.311 billion, up from $526 million in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to $445 million of Macondo-related insurance recoveries;
Fleet revenue efficiency(2) was 97.3 percent, up from 95.9 percent in the first quarter of 2015;
Fleet utilization(3) was 75 percent, compared with 79 percent in the first quarter of 2015; and
Subsequent to the April 16, 2015 Fleet Status Report, the total value of new contracts secured was approximately $178 million. Contract backlog was $18.6 billion as of the July 15, 2015 Fleet Status Report.

ZUG, SWITZERLAND—August 5, 2015—Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) (SIX: RIGN) today reported net income attributable to controlling interest of $342 million, $0.93 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Second quarter 2015 results included net unfavorable items of $66 million, $0.18 per diluted share, as follows:
$653 million, $1.79 per diluted share, associated with an impairment of the Midwater Floater asset group due primarily to the deterioration of the market outlook for this rig class;
$144 million, $0.39 per diluted share, primarily related to impairment of assets held for sale; and
$11 million, $0.03 per diluted share, in costs related to one-time termination benefits.
These net unfavorable items were partially offset by:
$735 million, $2.02 per diluted share, associated with Macondo-related settlement agreements and insurance recoveries; and





$7 million, $0.01 per diluted share, associated with the gain on disposal of assets and other miscellaneous items.
After consideration of these net unfavorable items, second quarter 2015 adjusted net income was $408 million, or $1.11 per diluted share.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the company reported both net income attributable to controlling interest and adjusted net income of $587 million, or $1.61 per diluted share.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $159 million sequentially to $1.884 billion due primarily to lower utilization partly offset by higher revenue efficiency.
Excluding $788 million ($735 million after taxes) in net favorable items associated with Macondo-related insurance proceeds, reimbursement of legal fees, crew claims and other contingent liability adjustments, operating and maintenance expenses were $985 million. This compares with $1.084 billion in the prior quarter. The decrease of $99 million was due primarily to reduced activity mainly related to rig retirements, stacked and idle rigs, and the company’s ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
General and administrative expenses decreased $2 million to $44 million from the prior quarter.
Depreciation expense decreased $42 million sequentially to $249 million due to rig retirements and the impairment of the Deepwater Floater asset group.
Transocean’s second quarter 2015 Effective Tax Rate(4) was 10.3 percent, compared with (21.6) percent in the previous quarter. The increase was due mainly to the Macondo-related settlements. Transocean’s Annual Effective Tax Rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 16.9 percent, down from 25.8 percent in the prior quarter. The decrease was due to the overall level of adjusted pre-tax income. Second quarter income tax expense also included a tax benefit of $23 million, $0.06 per diluted share, to reflect the decrease in the Annual Effective Tax Rate to 21.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 25.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $120 million in the second quarter, compared with $116 million in the previous quarter. Interest income was $6 million, unchanged from the prior quarter. Capitalized interest was $29 million, compared with $26 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Cash flows from operating activities increased $785 million from the first quarter of 2015 to $1.311 billion due mainly to the Macondo-related settlements.
Fleet-wide capital expenditures were $195 million, including costs associated with the company’s newbuild program. Capital expenditures were $201 million in the first quarter of 2015.






“Despite the challenging market conditions, Transocean delivered strong operating results and underlying cash flow in the period due to  exceptional revenue efficiency and a relentless emphasis on cost management,”  said President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Thigpen. “Although this is a full team effort, I particularly commend our operations teams and crews for their hard work and dedication to maximizing uptime on our rigs. In addition, I remind all of our stakeholders of our commitment to the continuous improvement of our business, which includes taking the necessary steps to ensure that we have the right rig fleet to compete effectively in all market conditions.”

Notes
(1) Annual Effective Tax Rate is defined as income tax expense from continuing operations excluding various discrete items (such as changes in estimates and tax on items excluded from income before income tax expense), divided by income from continuing operations before income tax expense excluding gains on sales and similar items pursuant to the accounting standards for income taxes.

See the accompanying schedule entitled “Revenue Efficiency.”
(3) Rig utilization is defined as the total number of operating days divided by the total number of rig calendar days in the measurement period, expressed as a percentage. See the accompanying schedule entitled “Utilization.”

(1)    Our estimates change as we file tax returns, settle disputes with tax authorities or become aware of other events and include changes in (a) deferred taxes, (b) valuation of allowances on deferred taxes and (c) other tax liabilities.
(2)    The three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes $(23) million of additional tax expense (benefit) reflecting the catch-up effect of an increase (decrease) in the annual effective tax rate from the previous quarter estimate.
(3)    Effective Tax Rate is income tax expense for continuing operations, divided by income from continuing operations before income taxes.
(4)    Annual Effective Tax Rate is income tax expense for continuing operations, excluding various discrete items (such as changes in estimates and tax on items excluded from income before income taxes) divided by income from continuing operations before income tax expense excluding gains and losses on sales and similar items pursuant to the accounting standards for income taxes and estimating the annual effective tax rate.
