  • 96% economic utilization
  • Reported net loss of $360 million and net loss per share of $3.62

  • Added $89 million in backlog since our last earnings report in November

Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented:

“The offshore drilling market continues to show signs of improvement with increased tendering activity and better contract economics. We expect more activity in 2019 to lead to a tighter supply demand balance and improved pricing in 2020 as the recovery progresses.

We are delighted to have entered into a Joint Venture with Sonangol to manage and operate four rigs focused on the Angolan market. This relationship provides us with access to a market that is expected to show significant growth over the next five years as well as an opportunity to continue expanding our fleet of premium ultra-deepwater rigs.

We remain focused on continued cost reduction and disciplined use of capital including the terms on which we will contract our premium fleet.â€Â
