PR Newswire

HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Rowan Companies plc ("Rowan" or the "Company") (NYSE: RDC) reported a net loss of $14.3 million, or $0.11 net loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $112.0 million, or $0.89 net income per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017. The net loss for the current quarter included a $65.8 million (after tax), or $0.52 per diluted share, gain on the sale of rigs to ARO Drilling and a $68.4 million tax benefit, or $0.54 per diluted share, related to the release of valuation allowance on the Company's net U.S. deferred tax assets. The net income for the prior-year quarter included a $151.7 million (after tax), or $1.18 per diluted share, gain on the sale of rigs and related assets to ARO Drilling.

ARO Drilling, of which Rowan owns 50%, generated revenue and net income of $130.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $48.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the period October 17, 2017 to December 31, 2017. ARO Drilling's financial information is included in this release.

Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The oil markets experienced a high level of volatility at the end of last year, but have since staged a moderate recovery so far in 2019.  Despite the market volatility, Rowan has been awarded a number of new drilling contracts and extensions, both for our drillships and jack-up rigs, which we believe reflects on our high-quality assets and operational performance.  As we look forward to 2019, we are cautiously optimistic that oil market stability at current levels will be supportive of improvements in overall offshore rig demand."

Dr. Burke adds, "We are excited about our pending combination with Ensco, which received shareholder approval last week.  The new company will be ideally positioned to benefit from the anticipated long-term improvements in offshore rig demand, with many of the best assets in the industry and a global reach to customers, while also benefiting from the substantial cost synergies that are only available as a combined entity."

Non-GAAP Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in our earnings release and during our earnings calls we may reference company information that does not conform to GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the Company. However, these measures should not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for GAAP measures of performance, and these non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with previously published Company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Non-GAAP measures we may reference have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
