Rowan Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Results
HOUSTON, Feb. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the three months ended December 31, 2015, Rowan Companies plc ("Rowan" or the "Company") (NYSE: RDC) reported net income of $124.4 million, or $0.99 per share. The current quarter includes a gain on the sale of the Rowan Louisiana of $6.3 million (after tax), or $0.05 per share, and a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt (after tax), or $0.01 per share. Excluding the impact of these items, net income as adjusted was $119.1 million, or $0.95 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2015. For the prior-year quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $326.9 million, or $2.63 per share, which included a non-cash asset impairment charge of $438.4 million (after tax), or $3.53 per share, relating to the Company's twelve oldest jack-up rigs. Excluding the impact of this non-cash asset impairment charge, net income was $111.5 million, or $0.89 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Rowan's revenues were $535.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of 4% from the prior-year quarter as a significant increase in jack-up idle time more than offset increased contributions from the Company's four newbuild ultra-deepwater drillships.
Additionally, Rowan is pleased to announce a recently executed contract with EOG in Trinidad for the Ralph Coffman. The rig will mobilize from the US Gulf of Mexico and is estimated to commence operations in the third quarter of this year for five wells with an estimated duration of one year at a rate of $135,000/ day, inclusive of amortized lump sum fees.
Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While Rowan finished 2015 with exceptional operational performance and the best safety related performance, highest EBITDA and EBITDA margins in the Company's recent history, we are mindful of the extremely challenging market environment that lies ahead. We have strategically positioned Rowan to weather this difficult business climate through our solid liquidity position, attractive debt maturity profile, low level of capital commitments, substantial backlog, and high-specification and modern fleet. As we continue to navigate through this down cycle we will continue to focus on revenue efficiency and reducing our cost structure to further enhance our competitive position."

Statements herein that are not historical facts are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements as to the expectations, beliefs and future expected business, financial and operating performance and prospects of the Company. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to certain risks, assumptions, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include oil and natural gas prices, the level of offshore expenditures by energy companies, variations in energy demand, changes in day rates, cancellation, early termination or renegotiation by our customers of drilling contracts, risks associated with fixed cost drilling operations, cost overruns or delays in transportation of drilling units, cost overruns or delays in maintenance and repairs, cost overruns or delays for conversion or upgrade projects, operating hazards and equipment failure, risks of collision and damage, casualty losses and limitations on insurance coverage, customer credit and risk of customer bankruptcy, conditions in the general economy and energy industry, weather conditions and severe weather in the Company's operating areas, increasing complexity and costs of compliance with environmental and other laws and regulations, changes in tax laws and interpretations by taxing authorities, civil unrest and instability, terrorism, piracy and hostilities in our areas of operations that may result in loss or seizure of assets, the outcome of disputes and legal proceedings, effects of the change in our corporate structure, and other risks disclosed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date hereof, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP MeasuresWe report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in our earnings release and during our earnings calls we may reference company information that does not conform to GAAP. 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 GAAP. Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the Company. However, these measures should not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for GAAP measures of performance, and these non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with previously published Company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Non-GAAP measures we may reference have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
