Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - EARNINGS

HOUSTON, February 3, 2017 - Atwood Oceanics, Inc. (NYSE: ATW) ("Company"), announced today that it had earned net income of $9.7 million or $0.15 per diluted share, on revenues of $157.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to net income of $4.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share on revenues of $188.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and compared to net income of $39.1 million or $0.60 per diluted share on revenues of $307.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $64.7 million ($64.7 million, net of tax, or $1.00 per diluted share) related to the Atwood Falcon. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not recognize any impairment.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized approximately $18.0 million ($18.0 million, net of tax, or $0.28 per diluted share) of expected insurance recoveries related to cyclone damage to the Atwood Osprey. This amount is included in Other income on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and was subsequently collected.

In January 2017, the client for the Atwood Achiever exercised its option provided as part of the “blend and extend” agreement we entered into in October 2015 to revert the contract to the original operating day rate and original end date. Exercise of this option will result in a one-time payment to us of $48.1 million that includes the difference in day rates, taxes, and administrative fees covering the time periods for which the reduced day rate was previously invoiced. Effective February 1, 2017 and continuing until the contract end date of approximately November 12, 2017, the operating day rate is $595,000. 
In February 2017, we amended our drilling services contract with Woodside Energy Ltd (“Woodside”) to substitute the Atwood Condor for the Atwood Osprey for the Greater Enfield campaign. The contract is expected to commence between December 2017 and March 2018 at an operating rate of $222,295 per day for approximately 550 days. Depending on the commencement of the contract, Woodside will reimburse us for the mobilization of the Atwood Condor to Australia in an amount of either $34.5 million or $36.5 million. In addition, we entered into a new agreement with Woodside to utilize the Atwood Osprey for an additional exploration well with an estimated duration of approximately 100 days. The contract for the exploration well is expected to commence between March 2018 and May 2018 at an operating rate of $190,000 per day with a priced option for an additional well. We will receive a mobilization fee of $1.0 million if the option is exercised and a payment of $2.0 million if the option is not exercised.
