Valaris Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 01, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) ("Valaris" or the "Company") today reported first quarter 2024 results.

President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, "I am very pleased with our start to 2024 as we delivered strong safety and operational performance during the first quarter as evidenced by fleetwide revenue efficiency of 97%. Our financial results also benefited from more operating days for our most recent drillship reactivation, VALARIS DS-8. In addition, we were awarded new contracts and extensions with associated contract backlog of more than $520 million, including a multi-year contract offshore Angola for VALARIS 144 at a leading-edge day rate for a benign environment jackup."

Dibowitz added, "We remain laser-focused on securing work for the remaining available days across our fleet in 2024 and preparing VALARIS DS-7 for its expected contract startup in the second quarter. We have an industry-leading track record of executing reactivation projects and look forward to the completion of another successful startup."

Dibowitz concluded, "We continue executing our growth strategy by securing new contracts at significantly higher day rates and building our contract backlog, which has increased over each of the past six consecutive quarters. We see strong customer demand for work that is expected to commence in 2025 and 2026, highlighting the longevity of this upcycle. We are focused on securing attractive contracts that support our anticipated earnings and cash flow growth over the next few years and intend to return all future free cash flow to shareholders unless there is a better or more value accretive use for it."

Financial and Operational Highlights

• Net income of $26 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $54 million and Adjusted EBITDAR of $84 million;

• Revenue efficiency of 97% during the quarter;

• Strong safety performance, including no Lost Time Incidents (LTI) during the quarter;

• Awarded new contracts and extensions with associated contract backlog of more than $520 million during the first quarter; and

• Increased total contract backlog to more than $4.0 billion as of April 30, 2024, representing the sixth consecutive quarter of backlog growth and a 43% increase from twelve months ago.

First Quarter Review

Net income decreased to $26 million from $829 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Net income included tax expense of $13 million compared to a tax benefit of $790 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $54 million from $58 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to idle time for several jackups that were undergoing contract preparations and special periodic surveys in the first quarter, partially offset by more operating days for the floater fleet. Adjusted EBITDAR decreased to $84 million from $96 million in the fourth quarter.

Revenues increased to $525 million from $484 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $491 million from $453 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to VALARIS DS-8, which commenced a contract in late December following its reactivation, and higher revenue efficiency across the floater fleet in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter. This was partially offset by fewer operating days for the jackup fleet, with several rigs experiencing idle time for contract preparations and special periodic surveys prior to the start of their next contracts.

Contract drilling expense increased to $445 million from $402 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $414 million from $374 million in the fourth quarter. The increase was primarily due to more operating days for the floater fleet and higher repair and maintenance expense.

Depreciation expense of $27 million was in line with the fourth quarter 2023. General and administrative expense increased to $27 million from $24 million in the fourth quarter 2023 primarily due to higher compensation costs and professional fees.

Other income increased to $9 million from $0 million in the fourth quarter 2023 primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains compared to losses in the prior quarter.

Tax expense of $13 million compared to a tax benefit of $790 million in the fourth quarter 2023 primarily due to an $800 million deferred tax benefit recognized in the fourth quarter 2023 related to a reduction in the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased to $509 million as of March 31, 2024, from $636 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to capital expenditures, partially offset by positive operating cash flow.

Capital expenditures of $151 million declined from $463 million in the fourth quarter 2023 due to the Company exercising options to take delivery of newbuild drillships VALARIS DS-13 and DS-14 for an aggregate purchase price of $337 million during the fourth quarter.

First Quarter Segment Review

Floaters

Floater revenues increased to $324 million from $263 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $310 million from $247 million in the fourth quarter. The increase was primarily due to VALARIS DS-8, which commenced a contract in late December following its reactivation, and higher revenue efficiency across the floater fleet in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter.

Contract drilling expense increased to $253 million from $226 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $240 million from $211 million in the fourth quarter. The increase was primarily due to more operating days and higher costs associated with planned repairs and maintenance.

Jackups

Jackup revenues decreased to $152 million from $179 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $139 million from $170 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to fewer operating days, with several rigs experiencing idle time for contract preparations and special periodic surveys prior to the start of their next contracts.

Contract drilling expense increased to $134 million from $123 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $122 million from $115 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to higher repair and maintenance expense associated with contract preparations and special periodic surveys.

ARO Drilling

Revenues increased to $138 million from $134 million in the fourth quarter 2023 primarily due to a full quarter of operations for newbuild jackup Kingdom 1, which commenced its maiden contract during the fourth quarter. This was partially offset by fewer operating days for the rest of the fleet due to more out of service days for planned maintenance in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter. Contract drilling expense increased to $98 million from $88 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to higher bareboat charter expense for leased rigs and higher repair costs associated with planned maintenance in the first quarter.

Other

Revenues increased to $48 million from $41 million in the fourth quarter 2023 primarily due to higher revenues earned from bareboat charter agreements with ARO and higher revenues from two rigs that we manage on behalf of a customer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which both commenced three-year contract extensions during the first quarter. Contract drilling expense increased to $22 million from $18 million in the fourth quarter.

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 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.

Represents the total number of days under contract in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example when we receive fees while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract.

(1)	Average daily revenue is derived by dividing contract drilling revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable revenues, revenues earned during suspension periods and revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the aggregate number of operating days.
(2)	All ARO leased rigs are leased from Valaris.
(3)	Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of operating days by the number of available days in the period for the rig fleet.
(4)	Revenue efficiency is day rate revenue earned as a percentage of maximum potential day rate revenue.
(5)	Rig count for owned rigs as of March 31, 2024 excludes a rig under construction, which is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2024.
(6)	Represents the maximum number of days available in the period for the rig fleet, calculated by multiplying the number of rigs in each asset category by the number of days in the period, irrespective of asset status.
(7)	Represents the total number of days under contract in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example when we receive fees while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement Valaris’ condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, which are non-GAAP measures.

Valaris defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense, other (income) expense, depreciation expense, amortization, loss on impairment and equity in (earnings) losses of ARO. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Valaris defines "Adjusted EBITDAR" as Adjusted EBITDA before reactivation costs. Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to assess the performance of our fleet excluding one-time rig reactivation costs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAR may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Valaris defines ARO "EBITDA" as net income before income tax expense, other expense, net and depreciation expense. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of ARO's core operating performance and to evaluate ARO's long-term financial performance against that of ARO's peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of ARO's core operating performance and makes it easier to compare ARO's results with those of other companies within ARO's industry. EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed on its first quarter 2024 earnings conference call, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including forward-looking tax expense and other income (expense).

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
