02/21/2022

Strong Operational Performance – 97% Revenue Efficiency in 4Q 2021 and 98% in FY 2021
Contract Backlog Increased to $2.4 Billion from $1.0 Billion at the Beginning of 2021
Approximately $330 Million of Contract Backlog Added Since Reporting 3Q 2021 Results
Four Floater Reactivation Projects in Progress for Contracts Beginning in 1H 2022
Operational Leverage to Improving Floater Market

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) ("Valaris" or the "Company") today reported fourth quarter 2021 results.

President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, “We focus every day on delivering safe, reliable and efficient operations to our customers. I would like to thank the Valaris team for continuing to deliver the strong performance that our customers have come to expect from us, achieving revenue efficiency of 97% during the fourth quarter and more than 98% over the course of 2021. We also improved our personal safety performance by 25% as compared to 2020. These accomplishments are particularly impressive considering the challenging working conditions faced by our offshore crews and support teams during the ongoing pandemic.”

Dibowitz added, “This strong operational performance has translated into contracting success, increasing our contract backlog to $2.4 billion from $1.0 billion at the beginning of 2021. Since our last quarterly report, we have added approximately $330 million of new backlog, including three-year contract extensions for four of our jackup rigs leased to ARO Drilling as well as floater contracts in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and offshore Australia.”

Dibowitz concluded, “We are in the midst of a transitional period that will extend into the second quarter of this year as we incur reactivation costs to ready three drillships and one semisubmersible for contracts that are expected to commence before the end of the second quarter. We anticipate that financial results will improve significantly as these reactivations are completed. Additionally, we have three uncontracted drillships remaining within our stacked fleet providing operational leverage to the improving floater market. We will be disciplined in exercising our operational leverage and will only return these assets to the active fleet for opportunities that provide meaningful returns.”

Fourth Quarter Review

Revenues decreased to $306 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $327 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $269 million in the fourth quarter from $293 million in the third quarter primarily due to fewer operating days and lower average day rates for the jackup fleet.

Contract drilling expense increased to $286 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $275 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $264 million in the fourth quarter from $255 million in the third quarter. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to higher rig reactivation costs, which increased to $37 million in the fourth quarter from $19 million in the third quarter, as we prepare several rigs for contracts that are expected to commence in the first half of 2022. This was partially offset by lower costs resulting from fewer operating days across the fleet in the fourth quarter.

Depreciation expense marginally increased to $25 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $24 million in the third quarter 2021. General and administrative expense decreased to $18 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $27 million in the third quarter 2021 primarily due to severance costs related to the departure of three senior executives during the third quarter.

Other income was $21 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to other expense of $3 million in the third quarter 2021. Fourth quarter other income included a $21 million gain on sale of assets related to the sale of jackups VALARIS 22, 37 and 142 compared to a gain on sale of assets of less than $1 million in the third quarter.

Tax benefit was $31 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to a tax expense of $53 million in the third quarter 2021. The fourth quarter tax provision included $30 million of discrete tax benefit primarily related to a reduction in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years and deferred tax benefits associated with Swiss tax reform. The third quarter tax provision included $39 million of discrete tax expense primarily related to changes in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years. Adjusted for discrete items, tax benefit of $1 million in the fourth quarter compared to tax expense of $14 million in the third quarter. The decrease in tax expense is primarily due to a reduction in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $30 million in the third quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDAR of $40 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $49 million in the third quarter 2021.

Segment Review

Floaters

Floater revenues decreased to $101 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $104 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $89 million in the fourth quarter from $94 million in the third quarter. The sequential quarter decline was primarily due to VALARIS MS-1 starting a short-term contract at a lower day rate during the fourth quarter and fewer operating days for VALARIS DPS-5, which completed a contract during the fourth quarter and is currently undergoing a five-year survey prior to starting a new contract that is expected to commence in the first quarter 2022. This was partially offset by more operating days for VALARIS DS-12, which was idle for a majority of the third quarter.

Contract drilling expense increased to $114 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $92 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $106 million in the fourth quarter from $84 million in the third quarter. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to higher rig reactivation costs, which increased to $34 million in the fourth quarter from $1 million in the third quarter, as we prepare drillships VALARIS DS-4, DS-9 and DS-16 as well as semisubmersible VALARIS DPS-1 for new contracts that are expected to commence in the first half of 2022.

Approximately $428 million of backlog as of February 21, 2022 is attributable to a contract awarded to drillship VALARIS DS-11 for an eight-well contract for a deepwater project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico expected to commence in mid-2024. In February 2022, the customer decided not to sanction and therefore withdraw from the project associated with this contract. As of the date hereof, the customer has not terminated the contract, but may do so upon the payment of an early termination fee should the project not receive a final investment decision (FID). The project has not received FID. We are in discussions with the customer and its partner on the project to determine next steps.

Jackups

Jackup revenues decreased to $172 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $186 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $152 million in the fourth quarter from $168 million in the third quarter. The sequential quarter decline was primarily due to idle time between contracts for VALARIS Norway, Viking and 144 as well as a decline in the average day rate for the harsh environment jackup fleet primarily due to VALARIS Norway moving from drilling operations offshore Norway to accommodation mode in the UK North Sea. This was partially offset by higher revenues from VALARIS 76, which returned to operations late in the third quarter following a suspension period.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $128 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $142 million in the third quarter 2021. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $117 million in the fourth quarter from $134 million in the third quarter. The sequential quarter decline was primarily due to lower rig reactivation costs, which decreased to $3 million in the fourth quarter from $18 million in the third quarter mostly related to reactivation costs for VALARIS 249, and lower costs due to fewer operating days across the jackup fleet in the fourth quarter.

ARO Drilling

Revenues decreased to $105 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $118 million in the third quarter 2021 primarily due to fewer operating days across the fleet as two leased rigs completed contracts in the third quarter. Contract drilling expense decreased to $89 million in the fourth quarter from $94 million in the third quarter. EBITDA was $11 million in the fourth quarter compared to $18 million in the third quarter.

Other

Revenues decreased to $33 million in the fourth quarter 2021 from $36 million in the third quarter 2021 due to lower bareboat charter revenues resulting from VALARIS 22 and 37 completing lease contracts with ARO Drilling in the third quarter, and subsequently being retired from the fleet. Contract drilling expense of $15 million in the fourth quarter was in line with the third quarter. EBITDA was $17 million in the fourth quarter compared to $22 million in the third quarter.

Fresh Start Accounting

Valaris emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 30, 2021 (the "Effective Date"). Upon emergence, Valaris applied fresh start accounting which resulted in Valaris becoming a new reporting entity for accounting and financial reporting. Accordingly, our financial statements and notes after the Effective Date are not comparable to our financial statements and notes prior to that date. As required by GAAP, results for the second quarter must be presented separately for the predecessor period from April 1, 2021, through April 30, 2021 (the "Predecessor" period) and the successor period from May 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021 (the "Successor" period). However, the Company has combined certain results of the Predecessor and Successor periods ("Combined" results) as non-GAAP measures to compare the combined second quarter with other quarters since we believe it provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our results. The Predecessor and Successor results for the second quarter are more fully discussed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on August 3, 2021.

As previously announced, Valaris will hold its fourth quarter 2021 earnings conference call at 9:00 a.m. CST (10:00 a.m. EST and 3:00 p.m. London) on Tuesday, February 22, 2022. An updated investor presentation will be available on the Valaris website after the call.

Our contract drilling backlog reflects commitments, represented by signed drilling contracts, and is calculated by multiplying the contracted day rate by the contract period. Contract drilling backlog includes drilling contracts subject to final investment decision (FID) and drilling contracts which grant the customer termination rights if FID is not received with respect to projects for which the drilling rig is contracted. The contracted day rate excludes certain types of lump sum fees for rig mobilization, demobilization, contract preparation, as well as customer reimbursables and bonus opportunities.


 
(2)

Approximately $428 million of backlog as of February 21, 2022, is attributable to a contract awarded to drillship VALARIS DS-11 that is expected to commence in mid-2024. In February 2022, the customer decided not to sanction and therefore withdraw from the project. As of the date hereof, the customer has not terminated the contract, but it may do so upon the payment of an early termination fee should the project not receive a final investment decision (FID). The project has not received FID. Valaris is in discussions with the customer and its partner on the project to determine next steps.


 
(3)

Leased rigs and managed rigs included in Other reporting segment.


 
(4)

Adjusted total is Valaris consolidated total plus Valaris 50% share of ARO owned rigs.
