HOUSTON, August 3, 2015 — Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (NYSE: DO) today reported net income of $90 million, or $0.66 per share, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $90 million, or $0.65 per share, in the second quarter of 2014. Revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were $634 million, compared to revenues of $692 million in the second quarter of 2014.
“During the quarter, our second and third newbuild drillships, the Ocean BlackHornet and Ocean BlackRhino, began working in the Gulf of Mexico, and we have taken delivery of our fourth and final newbuild drillship, the Ocean BlackLion, which we expect to be on dayrate near year-end,” said Marc Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All four of these units will be working in the Gulf, where we will enjoy operational economies of scale.”
“Our results for the quarter reflect ongoing efforts to manage costs effectively while remaining focused on safe operations and fleet reliability,” added Mr. Edwards. “We delivered our best safety performance on record during Q2.”
Additionally, the Company today announced that the Ocean Apex was awarded a contract for an 18-month term offshore Australia beginning in the second quarter of 2016 at a rate of $285,000 per day.
Diamond Offshore also announced today that it has declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share, payable on September 1, 2015 to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2015.

| (1) | Average dayrate is defined as contract drilling revenue for all of the specified rigs in our fleet per revenue earning day. A revenue earning day is defined as a 24-hour period during which a rig earns a dayrate after commencement of operations and excludes mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation days. |
| (2) | Utilization is calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days divided by the total calendar days in the period for all specified rigs in our fleet (including cold-stacked rigs, but excluding rigs under construction). As of June 30, 2015, our cold-stacked rigs included one deepwater semisubmersible, four mid-water semisubmersibles and four jack-up rigs. |
| (3) | Operational efficiency is calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days divided by the sum of total revenue-earning days plus the number of days (or portions thereof) associated with unanticipated equipment downtime. |
| (4) | Average dayrate reported in prior periods has been revised to conform to current presentation. |
