Diamond Offshore Announces Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
HOUSTON, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (NYSE: DO) today reported a fourth quarter 2015 net loss of $245 million, a loss of $1.79 per diluted share, compared to net income of $99 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Results for the quarter included a non-cash charge of $499 million associated with the impairment of nine drilling units, which resulted in an after-tax charge of $2.68 per share. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $556 million, compared to revenues of $675 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
For full year 2015, Diamond Offshore reported a net loss of $274 million or a loss of $2.00 per diluted share, compared to net income of $387 million, or $2.81 per diluted share, in 2014. Results for the full year included non-cash charges of $860 million associated with the impairment of 17 drilling units, which resulted in an after-tax charge of $5.05 per share. Revenues for full year 2015 were $2.419 billion, compared to $2.815 billion in 2014.
Diamond Offshore also announced that its Board of Directors has discontinued the quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share, which will preserve an additional $69 million on an annual basis.
"Given the severe and prolonged downturn in industry fundamentals, we believe it is prudent to bolster our already strong balance sheet," said Marc Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer. "By conserving additional cash, we will have increased flexibility to manage the company through difficult market conditions and position ourselves for the eventual recovery in offshore drilling."

(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 December 31, 2015, our cold-stacked rigs included one ultra-deepwater semisubmersible, two deepwater semisubmersibles, four mid-water semisubmersibles and five 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. | |||||||||
