Diamond Offshore Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results

HOUSTON, October 24, 2013 — Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (NYSE: DO) today reported net income of $95 million for the third quarter of 2013, or $0.68 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $178 million, or $1.28 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period a year earlier. Revenues in the third quarter of 2013 totaled $691 million, compared with revenues of $714 million in the prior-year quarter.

Results for the quarter included the unfavorable pretax impact of $93 million, or an after tax impact of $0.54 per diluted share, related to customer non-payments, as follows:

 

    Unrecognized revenue of $70 million, pretax, and
    Bad debt expense of $23 million, pretax.

“Although our results were adversely affected this quarter by customers with cash flow issues, which is highly unusual, we are working hard to reposition these rigs,” said Larry Dickerson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The overall market remains stable, supported by Brent oil prices above $100 per barrel and ongoing rig demand.”

The Company has received the following letters of intent (LOI):

 

    The Ocean Scepter received an LOI for a 1,136-day contract extension at a new rate of $158,000 per day; and

 

    The Ocean Apex received an LOI to begin work for an international oil company in Southeast Asia during Q4 2014 at a dayrate comparable to that of our other new deepwater semisubmersible, the Ocean Onyx.
