Exhibit 99.1


Hercules Offshore Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results
HOUSTON, October 23, 2014 -- Hercules Offshore, Inc. (Nasdaq: HERO) today reported a loss from continuing operations of $88.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, on revenue of $221.9 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to 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. As outlined in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, third quarter 2014 results included the following pre-tax items:
$82.5 million non-cash impairment charge related to the cold stacking of the Hercules 202, Hercules 204, Hercules 212 and Hercules 213;
$4.7 million net gain related to the sale of the Hercules 2500, Hercules 2003 and Hercules 156.
On an after-tax basis, these items approximated a net charge of $77.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share.
John T. Rynd, Chief Executive Officer and President of Hercules Offshore stated, “Third quarter results reflect the slowdown in U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling activity, idle time across various international rigs, and weak operating conditions in West Africa for our international liftboat fleet. In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, while we have recently seen some activity improvement with a portion of our customer base, this has been offset by further pullback from some of the larger customers in the region. As a result, we expect the overall environment to remain relatively soft at least through early 2015. Given these market conditions, we are executing on cost saving measures, including the cold stacking of four domestic rigs. We currently believe that this is an appropriate step to better balance the market and support utilization on our marketed rigs. However, should we see indicators of stronger demand, we will respond timely to these signals to protect our market leading position within the region.
“In International Offshore, the recent contract signing for the Hercules 267 will partially offset expected idle time on the Hercules Triumph and Hercules Resilience during the fourth quarter. Preparations are underway for the Hercules Triumph to mobilize to the North Sea, while the Hercules Resilience concluded its drilling program in the Congo earlier this month. We are in discussions with various customers to contract these rigs. As for International Liftboats, delays in Nigerian activity continue to hamper utilization, which we expect could continue well into 2015.”

Domestic Offshore
Revenue generated from Domestic Offshore for the third quarter 2014 decreased to $123.3 million from $139.0 million in the third quarter 2013, due to lower utilization, partially offset by higher dayrates. Average revenue per rig per day increased by approximately 19.2% to $108,844 in the third quarter 2014 from $91,311 in the comparable 2013 period. Utilization declined to 68.4% in the third quarter 2014 from 90.7% in the third quarter 2013 on lower demand. Operating expenses of $65.8 million in the third quarter 2014 include a gain of $5.2 million from the sale of two previously cold-stacked rigs, compared to expenses of $73.6 million in the third quarter 2013. Domestic Offshore generated operating loss of $45.2 million in the third quarter 2014, which includes the aforementioned non-cash impairment charge of $82.5 million, compared to operating income of $44.3 million in the third quarter 2013.

International Offshore
International Offshore revenue increased to $74.2 million in the third quarter 2014 from $46.3 million in the third quarter 2013, largely due to the addition of the Hercules Triumph and Hercules Resilience, as well as improved operating results on the Hercules 208. The combination of these factors also contributed to a 40.8% increase in average revenue per rig per day to $153,025 for the third quarter 2014 from $108,707 in the third quarter 2013. Utilization fell to 65.9% in the third quarter 2014 from 77.2% in the third quarter 2013, primarily as a result of the contract termination for the Hercules 267 in Angola, idle time of the Hercules 260, and downtime on the Hercules 261 as it completed its scheduled regulatory survey. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2014 were $61.6 million, which includes a loss of $0.5 million from the sale of the previously mentioned cold-stacked rig, an increase from $28.2 million in the respective 2013 period, primarily due to incremental operating cost associated with the addition of the Hercules Triumph, Hercules Resilience and Hercules 267. International Offshore recorded an operating loss of $10.1 million in the third quarter 2014 compared to operating income of $2.5 million in the prior year period.








International Liftboats
International Liftboats revenue declined to $24.3 million in the third quarter 2014 from $40.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower utilization. Continued lower activity from some of our larger consumers in Nigeria led to a decline in utilization to 47.1% during the third quarter 2014, compared to 74.6% in the comparable 2013 period. Average revenue per liftboat per day declined slightly to $24,420 in the third quarter 2014 from $25,364 in the third quarter 2013. Operating expenses during the third quarter 2014 were $19.0 million, compared to $21.0 million in the third quarter 2013. International Liftboats recorded an operating loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter 2014 compared to operating income of $12.8 million in the third quarter 2013.

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 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 from continuing operations, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, operating income, 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, Income from Continuing Operations and Diluted Income 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.





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, income from continuing operations, 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 three months ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. 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:
