Transocean (NYSE: RIG) reported a net income of $98 million for the first quarter of 2024, with adjusted contract drilling revenues increasing by $19 million to $767 million. The company secured a 365-day extension on the Deepwater Asgard, completed a $1.8 billion debt refinancing transaction, and extended its revolving credit facility. Despite some positive milestones, Transocean experienced a sequential decrease in cash used in operating activities and a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $22 million.

Insights

Transocean Ltd. reported a net income of $98 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, which signifies a notable rebound from the previous quarter's net loss of $104 million. This turnaround was aided by several favorable items, including tax adjustments. While the company saw a sequential increase in contract drilling revenues to $763 million, this was tempered by a decrease in revenue efficiency to 92.9%, attributed partly to operational issues with the Deepwater Titan rig. Investors should note that these unscheduled downtimes may affect future revenue efficiency. The adjusted EBITDA margin has seen a substantial increase to 26.0%, indicative of improved operational efficiency and cost control measures. However, the adjusted net loss figure of $22 million suggests underlying challenges remain. Transocean's capital expenditures decreased significantly from $220 million to $83 million, reflecting the completion of investments in newbuilds like the Deepwater Aquila drillship. The CEO's remarks highlight the potential for continued strength in the high-specification floater market, indicating promising revenue prospects. The successful debt refinancing and credit facility extension are also positive signs for liquidity and financial stability in the near term. Investors should keep an eye on the company's ability to convert its $8.9 billion backlog into cash, which will be a critical factor in maintaining this positive momentum.

From a market perspective, Transocean's results reflect broader trends in the oil and gas industry, where high-specification floaters are in demand due to increased oil prices and market tightness. The dayrate extension for Deepwater Asgard at an industry-leading $505,000 per day confirms the company's competitive positioning. The increase in interest income and reduction of interest expenses point to a more favorable financial environment for the company. However, investors should weigh the potential risks associated with the observed volatility in revenue efficiency and the effective tax rate, which soared to 206.0%. This significant increase in the tax rate highlights the impact of jurisdictional changes and could introduce additional complexity to financial forecasting. Understanding these market dynamics and the company's strategic response will be important for investors evaluating the company's prospects in an evolving energy sector.

STEINHAUSEN, Switzerland, April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) today reported a net income attributable to controlling interest of $98 million, $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

First quarter results included net favorable items of $120 million, $0.14 per diluted share, primarily due to $121 million discrete tax items, net.

After consideration of these net favorable items, first quarter 2024 adjusted net loss was $22 million, $0.03 per diluted share.

Contract drilling revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased sequentially by $22 million to $763 million, primarily due to increased activity for rigs that returned to work or were fully active this quarter after undergoing contract preparation, higher dayrate and higher reimbursable revenue. This was partially offset by lower revenue efficiency across the fleet, particularly on Deepwater Titan which experienced significant unscheduled downtime related to its blowout preventer, and one less day in the quarter. Deepwater Titan has since resumed dayrate operations.

Contract intangible amortization represented a non-cash revenue reduction of $4 million, compared to $7 million in the prior quarter. The contract intangible assets are now fully amortized.

Operating and maintenance expense was $523 million, compared with $569 million in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to cost savings on rigs that were idle in the first quarter, reduced contract preparation expenses, and lower in-service maintenance cost on the operating fleet. This was partially offset by higher reimbursed expenses.

After consideration of the favorable adjustment of $10 million and $145 million in the first and fourth quarter, respectively, for the fair value of the bifurcated exchange feature related to the 4.625% exchangeable bonds, interest expense net of capitalized amounts was $127 million, compared to $142 million in the prior period. Interest income was $15 million, compared to $10 million in the previous quarter.

The Effective Tax Rate(2) was 206.0%, up from (25.0)% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to changes in deferred taxes related to rig ownership changes, rig movement and contract expirations across multiple jurisdictions. The Effective Tax Rate excluding discrete items was 76.9% compared to (30.0)% in the previous quarter.

Cash used in operating activities was $86 million during the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of $184 million compared to cash provided by operations in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to increased payments that regularly occur in the first quarter of each year for payroll-related costs and interest expense.

First quarter 2024 capital expenditures of $83 million were primarily associated with the newbuild ultra-deepwater drillship Deepwater Aquila. This compares with $220 million in the prior quarter.

“Over the first months of 2024, Transocean has achieved some fairly significant milestones. First, we secured a 365-day extension on Deepwater Asgard at a rate of $505,000 per day, once again demonstrating the sustained tightness in the high-specification floater market as well as Transocean’s ability to command industry-leading dayrates,” said Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Thigpen. “Additionally, earlier this month we finalized a $1.8 billion debt refinancing transaction, enabling us to improve near-term liquidity and start the process of simplifying our balance sheet. We also completed the extension of our revolving credit facility to mid-2028, further enhancing our financial flexibility.”

Thigpen concluded, “Looking ahead, we remain encouraged by the demand outlook and expect to see numerous long-term contracts awarded over the next several months. As we work to secure those contracts, we will remain acutely focused on operational execution across our fleet, as we endeavor to maximize the conversion of our industry-leading backlog to cash.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). We believe certain financial measures, such as Adjusted Contract Drilling Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under U.S. GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
