Hercules Offshore Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results
HOUSTON, October 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hercules Offshore, Inc. (Nasdaq: HERO) today reported income from continuing operations of $17.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on revenue of $225.3 million for the third quarter 2013, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $37.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on revenue of $160.2 million for the third quarter 2012. As outlined in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, third quarter 2012 results include a non-cash charge of $60.7 million to reflect the impairment of the Hercules 252 and Hercules 258; a gain from the sale of Platform Rig 3 and related entities of $18.4 million; and a gain from the insurance settlement on the Hercules 185 of $27.3 million. On an after-tax basis, these items approximated $22.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

John T. Rynd, CEO and President of Hercules Offshore, states “The latest quarterly results reflect the positive momentum in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and healthy conditions in the international drilling and liftboat markets.  We expect these trends to carry forward through 2014. Several positive long-term developments also occurred during the third quarter, including our consolidation of Discovery Offshore and subsequent contracting of the Hercules Triumph, five-year extensions on two of our rigs in the Middle East at significantly higher pricing, and successful refinancing of $300 million in senior notes which lowers our borrowing cost and strengthens our liquidity. These developments have led to a substantial growth of backlog, which currently exceeds $1 billion, and build upon our foundation for long-term growth and sustainability. Over the coming months, backlog is expected to grow further, as several new contracting opportunities exist in our domestic and international drilling operations.”
Domestic Offshore
Revenue generated from Domestic Offshore for the third quarter 2013 increased by 51% to $139.0 million from $92.3 million in the third quarter 2012 primarily due to higher dayrates and utilization. Average revenue per rig per day increased by 44% to $91,311 in the third quarter 2013 from $63,203 in the comparable 2012 period. Operating days increased modestly by 62 days due to the addition of the Hercules 209 and reduced downtime on several rigs, partially offset by lost operating days on the Hercules 265. Operating expenses increased to $73.6 million in the third quarter 2013 from $61.9 million in the prior respective period, due to incremental cost for the Hercules 209, salvage cost incurred on the Hercules 265 of approximately $3.2 million, and higher labor, insurance and workers compensation expense. Domestic Offshore generated operating income of $44.3 million for the third quarter 2013 compared to an operating loss of $16.9 million in the third quarter 2012, which includes a non-cash charge of $25.5 million to reflect the impairment of the Hercules 252.
International Offshore
International Offshore generated revenue of $46.3 million in the third quarter 2013, an increase of 25% compared to $37.1 million in the third quarter 2012, as both utilization and dayrates improved. Utilization increased to 77.2% from 65.3%, due in part to the addition of the Hercules 266. Average revenue per rig per day for the third quarter 2013 increased to $108,707 from $94,377 in the third quarter 2012, primarily as a result of the addition of the Hercules 266 to the fleet, as well as the sale of Platform Rig 3 during third quarter 2012. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2013 declined to $28.2 million as compared to the third quarter 2012, after excluding the $27.3 million benefit from the insurance settlement gain on the Hercules 185 and the $18.4 million gain on the sale of Platform Rig 3. International Offshore recorded operating income of $2.5 million in the third quarter 2013 compared to operating income of $3.5 million, which includes the aforementioned gains and a non-cash charge of $35.2 million to reflect the impairment of the Hercules 258.
Liftboats
International Liftboats revenue increased by approximately 30% to $40.0 million in the third quarter 2013 from $30.8 million in the third quarter 2012. Utilization increased to 74.6% from 68.0%, and operating days increased by 264 days over the comparable periods. Average revenue per liftboat per day increased by 8% to $25,364 in the third quarter 2013 from $23,432 in the third quarter 2012. Much of the improvement in utilization and average dayrate can be attributable to the addition of the Bull Ray in West Africa and stronger performance from the Middle East vessels. Operating expenses during the third quarter 2013 were relatively flat at $21.0 million compared to $20.4 million in the third quarter 2012, despite the addition of the Bull Ray. International Liftboats recorded operating income of $12.8 million in the third quarter 2013 compared to operating income of $6.5 million in the third quarter 2012.    





Non-GAAP
Certain non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the Company have been provided for meaningful comparisons between current results and prior operating periods. 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 generally accepted accounting principles. In order to fully assess the financial operating results, management believes that the adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations figures included in this release are appropriate measures of the continuing and normal operations of the Company. However, these measures should be considered in addition to, income (loss) from continuing operations, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operations, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table that follows the financial statements. Please see the attached Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a complete description of the adjustments made to Operating Income (Loss), Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share.

_____________________________
(1)
Utilization is defined as the total number of days our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, were under contract, known as operating days, in the period as a percentage of the total number of available days in the period. Days during which our rigs and liftboats were undergoing major refurbishments, upgrades or construction, and days during which our rigs and liftboats are cold stacked, are not counted as available days. Days during which our liftboats are in the shipyard undergoing drydocking or inspection are considered available days for the purposes of calculating utilization.
(2)
Average revenue per rig or liftboat per day is defined as revenue earned by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of operating days for our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period.
(3)
Average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day is defined as operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, incurred by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of available days in the period. We use available days to calculate average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day rather than operating days, which are used to calculate average revenue per rig or liftboat per day, because we incur operating expenses on our rigs and liftboats even when they are not under contract and earning a dayrate. In addition, the operating expenses we incur on our rigs and liftboats per day when they are not under contract are typically lower than the per day expenses we incur when they are under contract.





Hercules Offshore, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data)
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Non-GAAP financial measures we may present from time to time are operating income, net income or diluted earnings per share excluding certain charges or amounts. These adjusted income amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, they should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the following table:
