Positive
  • Net income of $63 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $150 million
  • Strong cash flow generation: $193M from operations, $111M free cash flow
  • Revenue increased to $643M from $610M quarter-over-quarter
  • 98% fleet-wide revenue efficiency
  • Secured three-year contract extension worth $168M for VALARIS 118
  • $100M in share repurchases completed
Negative
  • Net income decreased from $151M in Q2 to $63M in Q3
  • Customer demand deferrals reported
  • Contract drilling expenses increased to $462M from $439M
  • Contract terminations for VALARIS 147 and 148 by ARO in October
  • ARO segment revenues declined 8% quarter-over-quarter

Insights

The Q3 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. While revenue increased 5% quarter-over-quarter to $643.1 million, net income declined significantly from $151 million to $63 million. The 98% fleet revenue efficiency and $111 million free cash flow generation are positive indicators, but the decline in net income warrants attention.

The floater segment showed resilience with a 1% revenue increase and 12% Adjusted EBITDA growth, while jackups saw revenue growth of 15% but declining profitability. The $100 million share repurchase demonstrates confidence in capital return policy, though cash position decreased to $392 million.

The $168 million contract backlog addition for VALARIS 118 and continued fleet optimization efforts provide some stability, but customer demand deferrals could impact near-term growth prospects.

The offshore drilling market dynamics reflected in Valaris' results indicate a complex landscape. While management maintains optimism about the upcycle beyond 2026, the mention of deferred customer demand suggests potential near-term headwinds. The company's strategic focus on securing long-term contracts provides some insulation against market volatility.

The shift in tax position from a $30 million benefit to $24 million expense significantly impacted bottom-line results. Operational metrics remain solid with 98% revenue efficiency, though regional challenges are evident in the ARO segment with multiple contract terminations and suspensions, which could affect regional market dynamics.

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

President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, “We delivered strong operating performance and financial results in the third quarter, including solid free cash flow generation. Our fleetwide revenue efficiency of 98% included a full quarter of operations for VALARIS DS-7 following its contract startup in the second quarter. Building on our track record of safe, reliable and efficient operations, we are proud to be recognized for the second consecutive year by the Center for Offshore Safety with its Safety Leadership Award for the development of our Restricted Zone Analysis tool.”

Dibowitz added, “We maintain our conviction in the strength and duration of this upcycle and believe Valaris is well positioned to drive long-term value creation. While we have seen some customer demand deferred, the outlook for 2026 and beyond remains robust. We continue to focus on securing attractive, long-term work for our available rig fleet to support our earnings and cash flow growth."

Dibowitz concluded, “As expected, our free cash flow profile improved relative to the first half of the year, and we repurchased $100 million of shares during the third quarter. We remain committed to returning 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 $63 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $150 million;
  • Revenue efficiency of 98%;
  • Generated $193 million of cash from operating activities and $111 million of free cash flow;
  • Repurchased $100 million of shares;
  • Recognized by the Center for Offshore Safety with its 2024 Safety Leadership Award for development of the Restricted Zone Analysis tool;
  • Full quarter of operations for drillship VALARIS DS-7 following completion of its reactivation and contract startup in the second quarter; and
  • Three-year contract extension for jackup VALARIS 118 awarded in October, adding $168 million of contract backlog.

Third Quarter Review

Net income decreased to $63 million from $151 million in the second quarter 2024. Net income included tax expense of $24 million compared to a tax benefit of $30 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $150 million from $139 million in the second quarter primarily due to a full quarter of operations for VALARIS DS-7 following its contract startup and higher average daily revenue for the floater fleet. These items were partially offset by lower utilization for VALARIS DPS-5 and DS-10 as well as out of service time and repair costs for VALARIS 249 due to leg repairs.

Revenues increased to $643 million from $610 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $598 million from $573 million in the second quarter primarily due to an increase in operating days and amortized mobilization revenue associated with VALARIS 247, a full quarter of operations for VALARIS DS-7 and higher average daily revenue for the floater fleet. These items were partially offset by lower utilization for VALARIS DPS-5 and DS-10 as well as out of service time for VALARIS 249.

Contract drilling expense increased to $462 million from $439 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $423 million from $407 million in the second quarter primarily due to an increase in amortized mobilization expense associated with VALARIS 247 and higher costs associated with a full quarter of operations for VALARIS DS-7. This was partially offset by lower reactivation expense and lower personnel costs for VALARIS DS-17 associated with a change in operating location.

Depreciation expense increased to $32 million from $30 million in the second quarter 2024 primarily due to new assets placed in service for certain rigs following reactivation projects and capital upgrades. General and administrative expense decreased to $31 million from $33 million in the second quarter 2024 primarily due to lower professional fees.

Other expense was $8 million compared to other income of $12 million in the second quarter 2024 primarily due to a decrease in interest income and foreign currency exchange losses compared to gains in the second quarter.

Tax expense was $24 million compared to tax benefit of $30 million in the second quarter 2024. The third quarter tax provision included an immaterial discrete tax expense and the second quarter tax provision included $64 million of discrete tax benefit, which were primarily attributable to changes in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years. Adjusted for discrete tax items, tax expense decreased to $24 million from $34 million in the second quarter.

Capital expenditures of $82 million decreased from $110 million in the second quarter 2024 primarily due to lower maintenance and upgrade capital expenditures.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased to $392 million as of September 30, 2024, from $410 million as of June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to share repurchases and capital expenditures, partially offset by cash flow from operations.

Third Quarter Segment Review

Floaters

Floater revenues increased to $389 million from $384 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $373 million from $370 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily due to more operating days for VALARIS DS-7, which commenced a contract in the second quarter, and higher average daily revenue for the floater fleet mostly due to VALARIS DS-16, which started a new higher day rate contract late in the second quarter. This was partially offset by fewer operating days for VALARIS DPS-5 and DS-10, which completed their contracts in the third quarter.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $248 million from $257 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $235 million from $245 million in the second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower reactivation expense as VALARIS DS-7 returned to work in the second quarter and lower personnel expense for VALARIS DS-17 associated with a change in operating location. This was partially offset by higher costs associated with a full quarter of operations for VALARIS DS-7.

Jackups

Jackup revenues increased to $214 million from $186 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $193 million from $167 million in the second quarter primarily due to operating days and amortized mobilization revenue associated with VALARIS 247, which commenced a contract offshore Australia in July following its mobilization from the UK. This was partially offset by out of service time for leg repairs on VALARIS 249.

Contract drilling expense increased to $157 million from $123 million in the second quarter 2024. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $137 million from $108 million in the second quarter primarily due to an increase in amortized mobilization expense associated with VALARIS 247 and repair costs for VALARIS 249.

ARO Drilling

Revenues decreased to $114 million from $124 million in the second quarter 2024 primarily due to the contract termination for VALARIS 143 in the second quarter and contract suspensions for VALARIS 147 and 148 during the third quarter. Subsequently, ARO elected to terminate these suspended contracts in October. Contract drilling expense of $94 million was in line with the second quarter.

Other

Revenues of $40 million were in line with the second quarter 2024. Contract drilling expense increased to $22 million from $20 million in the second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDAR is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and reactivation costs. Adjusted EBITDAR for active fleet, leased and managed rigs and stacked fleet also excludes onshore support costs and general and administrative expense.

(2)

Active fleet represents rigs that are not preservation stacked and includes rigs that are in the process of being reactivated.

(3)

Adjusted EBITDAR for the stacked fleet represents the combined total of all preservation and stacking costs.

(4)

Reactivation costs, all of which are attributed to Valaris' active fleet, are excluded from adjusted EBITDAR.

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.

Contract drilling backlog reflects commitments, represented by signed drilling contracts, and is calculated by multiplying the contracted day rate by the contract period. 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.

(2)

Leased rigs backlog as of July 29, 2024, included $113 million related to the drilling contracts for VALARIS 147 and VALARIS 148, which previously received suspension notices from Saudi Aramco. The contracts were subsequently terminated and are no longer included in leased rigs backlog as of October 30, 2024.

(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, revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles and lump-sum revenues and amortization thereof, 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)

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.

(6)

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, Adjusted EBITDAR and Free Cash Flow, 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, 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 Adjusted EBITDA" as ARO's net income (loss) before income tax expense, other expense, net, depreciation expense and loss on impairment. ARO Adjusted 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. ARO 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. ARO Adjusted 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 third 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).

Valaris defines "Free Cash Flow" as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to assess the cash generation of our fleet after paying operating expenses and capital expenditures to maintain and upgrade our assets. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of the cash generation of our business.

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.
