Ensco plc (NYSE: ESV) today reported a loss of $10.64 per diluted share in fourth quarter 2015 compared to a loss of $14.89 per diluted share in fourth quarter 2014. The loss from discontinued operations in fourth quarter 2015 was $0.41 per share compared to a loss of $1.67 per share last year. The loss from continuing operations in fourth quarter 2015 was $10.23 per share compared to a loss of $13.22 per share a year ago.

To improve capital management flexibility in light of the market downturn and less visibility in terms of customer demand, Ensco’s Board of Directors declared a $0.01 cash dividend per Class A ordinary share payable on 18 March 2016, a $0.14 per share reduction from the prior level. The ex-dividend date is 3 March 2016 with a record date of 7 March 2016.

“As the downturn in the offshore drilling market continues given further declines in commodity prices — we believe it is prudent to take additional steps to increase liquidity and improve capital management flexibility by reducing our dividend," said Chief Executive Officer and President Carl Trowell. “Reducing the dividend will provide us with $130 million of additional liquidity on an annual basis, bolstering our current liquidity position of more than $3.5 billion, including $1.3 billion of cash and short-term investments and a fully available $2.25 billion revolving credit facility."
