Transocean Ltd. Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Nov 4, 2012 (Menafn - Marketwire via COMTEX) --Transocean Ltd. RIG (six:RIGN)

Third quarter 2012 revenues were 2.440 billion compared with 2.352 billion in the second quarter 2012; Operating and maintenance expenses for the third quarter were 1.338 billion, compared with 1.381 billion for the second quarter 2012. Second quarter operating and maintenance expenses exclude 750 million for estimated loss contingencies associated with the Macondo well incident; Third quarter 2012 net loss attributable to controlling interest was 381 million, which included 880 million of net unfavorable items primarily associated with the impairment of assets included in discontinued operations. This compares with the second quarter 2012 net loss attributable to controlling interest of 304 million, which included 621 million of net unfavorable items; Third quarter Annual Effective Tax Rate(3) from continuing operations was 15.2 percent compared with 28.2 percent in the second quarter 2012; Third quarter net loss attributable to controlling interest was 1.06 per diluted share. After adjusting for net unfavorable items, adjusted earnings from continuing operations were 499 million, or 1.37 per diluted share; Cash flows from operating activities were 786 million in the third quarter, compared with 459 million in the second quarter 2012; Revenue efficiency(1) from continuing operations was 94.3 percent in the third quarter, compared with 92.1 percent in the second quarter 2012. Third quarter 2012 Ultra-Deepwater revenue efficiency was 95.8 percent, compared with 92.2 percent in the prior quarter. Fleet utilization(2) from continuing operations was 77 percent in the third quarter, compared with 72 percent in the second quarter 2012; and New contracts associated with continuing operations totaling 10.2 billion were secured in the Fleet Status Report periods July 18, 2012 through October 17, 2012. Backlog from continuing operations was 29.7 billion at October 17th, a net increase of 8.3 billion.

Transocean Ltd. RIG (six:RIGN) today reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of 381 million, or 1.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Third quarter 2012 results included net unfavorable items of 880 million, or 2.43 per diluted share. The results compare with a net loss attributable to controlling interest of 32 million, or 0.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Third quarter 2011 results included net unfavorable items of 68 million, or 0.21 per diluted share, primarily associated with the company's acquisition of Aker Drilling.

Net unfavorable items, after tax, impacting the third quarter of 2012 included the following:

878 million, or 2.43 per diluted share, loss on impairment of assets included in discontinued operations primarily associated with exiting the standard jackup market; 48 million, or 0.13 per diluted share, net gain on the sale of two floaters, Discoverer 534 and Jim Cunningham; 30 million, or 0.08 per diluted share, loss from discontinued operations. This includes 24 million, or 0.06 per diluted share associated with the standard jackups; the remainder is primarily associated with Challenger Minerals (North Sea) Limited; and 20 million, or 0.05 per diluted share, loss due to discrete taxes and other items.

After adjusting for these net unfavorable items, adjusted earnings from continuing operations were 499 million, or 1.37 per diluted share. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share is attached.

Operations Quarterly Review

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were 2.440 billion, compared with revenues of 2.352 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Contract drilling revenues increased 136 million mainly due to higher revenue efficiency(1) primarily on Ultra-Deepwater floaters, and lower out of service time. Revenue efficiency(1) from continuing operations was 94.3 percent for the third quarter, compared with 92.1 percent in the second quarter 2012. Other revenues decreased 48 million to 130 million for the third quarter 2012, compared with 178 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to decreased levels of low-margin drilling management services activity.

Operating and maintenance expenses from continuing operations decreased 43 million to 1.338 billion for the third quarter of 2012. This compares with 1.381 billion for the second quarter of 2012, excluding 750 million for estimated loss contingencies associated with the Macondo well incident. Contract drilling expenses increased by 17 million due to annual pay raises, activity increases, professional fees, and various other items, partly offset by lower costs in the third quarter associated with rigs undergoing surveys, contract preparation or other shipyard projects. The delayed commencement of shipyard projects favorably impacted contract drilling expenses in the third quarter. Costs associated with the company's drilling management services reporting unit decreased 60 million mostly due to reduced activity.

General and administrative expenses were 69 million for the third quarter 2012, compared with 79 million in the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to transaction costs in the second quarter associated with the Quantum exchange of its 50 percent interest in Transocean Pacific Drilling Inc. for Transocean Ltd.'s shares.

Income Taxes

Transocean's third quarter Effective Tax Rate(4) from continuing operations was 16.5 percent, compared with 5.0 percent in the second quarter 2012. The increase in the Effective Tax Rate(4) was due to changes in estimates primarily for settlements of prior years' tax liabilities. Transocean's Annual Effective Tax Rate(3) from continuing operations for the third quarter 2012 was 15.2 percent. This compares with 28.2 percent for the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to changes in the blend of income that is taxed based on gross revenues versus pre-tax income and rig movements between taxing jurisdictions, among other things. Third quarter 2012 income tax expense included a favorable adjustment of 31 million, or 0.09 per diluted share, required to reflect a decrease in the Annual Effective Tax Rate(3) to 20.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 24.6 percent for the first half of 2012.

Other Items

For the third quarter, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was 180 million, compared with 183 million in the second quarter 2012. Capitalized interest for the third quarter 2012 was 12 million, unchanged from the prior quarter. Interest income increased to 15 million in the third quarter, compared with 13 million in the second quarter 2012.

Cash flows from operating activities were 786 million for the third quarter, compared with 459 million for the second quarter 2012. Capital expenditures from total operations were 225 million for the third quarter, compared with 236 million in the second quarter of 2012.
