Valaris Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Hamilton, Bermuda, October 31, 2022 … Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) ("Valaris" or the "Company") today reported third quarter 2022 results.

President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, “During the third quarter, we continued to deliver strong operational performance while remaining focused on providing safe, reliable, and efficient operations. We are pleased to once again be recognized by our customers as the No. 1 offshore driller in total satisfaction in the leading independent survey covering offshore drillers. We remain disciplined in our approach to fleet management and recently executed an agreement on a value-accretive rig sale, which will position us to redeploy capital on opportunities with more attractive return profiles.”

Dibowitz added, “The fundamental outlook for our industry remains constructive. A lack of investment in new sources of production over the past several years has contributed to a tight supply picture that has been exacerbated by geopolitical instability and an increased focus on energy security. We believe that the outlook for commodity supply and demand, and the significant reduction in excess rig capacity over the past several years, lay the foundation for a sustained upcycle. We retain significant operational leverage to the improving market through our high-quality stacked fleet and will continue to exercise our operational leverage in a disciplined manner to help maximize future earnings and free cash flow.”

Financial and Operational Highlights

•Increased quarterly operating income by $77 million primarily due to the reactivation of four floaters earlier in the year;

•Delivered revenue efficiency of 96% in the third quarter and 97% year to date;

•Rated the No. 1 offshore driller in EnergyPoint Research's 2022 customer satisfaction survey covering offshore drillers;

•Won new contracts and extensions with associated contract backlog of more than $250 million, including floater contracts offshore Brazil and Mexico and jackup contracts in the Middle East, the North Sea, Latin America and Australia;

•Received $40 million from ARO Drilling, representing a partial early repayment of our shareholder notes receivable, with a balance of $403 million after the repayment; and

•Executed a sales agreement to divest 40-year old jackup VALARIS 54 for $28.5 million, which is expected to close in March 2023 upon completion of its existing contract.

Third Quarter Review

Net income was $78 million compared to $113 million in the second quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $76 million from $29 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDAR increased to $94 million from $54 million in the second quarter.

Revenues increased to $437 million from $413 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $416 million from $385 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher utilization for floaters and higher average day rates for both the floater and jackup fleets, partially offset by a $51 million termination fee related to the termination of a contract for VALARIS DS-11 during the second quarter.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $337 million from $362 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $316 million from $334 million in the second quarter, primarily due to increased costs of certain claims and costs associated with the VALARIS

DS-11 contract termination in the second quarter as well as lower reactivation costs, which decreased to $18 million from $24 million in the second quarter. This was partially offset by higher rig operating costs in the third quarter related to an increase in operating days across the fleet.

There was no loss on impairment in the third quarter 2022. Loss on impairment of $35 million in the second quarter related to the termination of a contract for VALARIS DS-11. Costs incurred for capital upgrades specific to the customer requirements resulted in a pre-tax, non-cash loss on impairment during the second quarter.

Depreciation expense increased marginally to $23 million from $22 million in the second quarter 2022. General and administrative expense of $19 million was in line with the second quarter.

Other income decreased to $30 million from $149 million in the second quarter 2022 due to gain on sale of assets of $135 million primarily related to the sale of jackups VALARIS 113, 114 and 36 in the second quarter as well as additional proceeds received in the second quarter on the sale of a rig in a prior year. This was partially offset by non-cash interest income of $15 million recognized in the third quarter for a write-off of the discount attributable to the $40 million of shareholder notes receivable repaid by ARO.

Tax expense was $14 million compared to $20 million in the second quarter 2022. The third quarter tax provision included $2 million of discrete tax expense primarily attributable to changes in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years, partially offset by discrete tax benefits attributable to the resolution of other prior period tax matters. The second quarter tax provision included $6 million of discrete tax expense primarily attributable to income associated with a contract termination. Adjusted for discrete items, tax expense decreased to $12 million from $14 million in the second quarter.

Third Quarter Segment Review

Floaters

Floater revenues increased to $202 million from $188 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $192 million from $171 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily due to the impact of reactivated rigs returning to work as VALARIS DS-9 and DS-4 started contracts early in the third quarter, following VALARIS DS-16 and DPS-1, which commenced contracts during the second quarter. Also, revenues increased for VALARIS MS-1 due to more operating days and a higher average day rate during the third quarter as compared to the second quarter. This was partially offset by a $51 million termination fee related to the termination of a contract for VALARIS DS-11 recognized during the second quarter.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $161 million from $165 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $151 million from $148 million in the second quarter primarily due to higher activity levels resulting from the reactivation of several rigs. This was partially offset by increased costs of certain claims and costs associated with the VALARIS DS-11 contract termination during the second quarter, and lower rig reactivation costs in the third quarter as reactivated rigs returned to work.

Jackups

Jackup revenues increased to $196 million from $186 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $190 million from $180 million in the second quarter primarily due to more operating days for VALARIS Viking and 107, which experienced some idle time between contracts in the second quarter, and higher average day rates for VALARIS Stavanger and 123. This was partially offset by idle time between contracts for VALARIS 118, out of service time for planned maintenance on VALARIS 92, and a lower average day rate for VALARIS Viking.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $128 million from $142 million in the second quarter 2022. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $123 million from $136 million in the second quarter primarily due to repair and maintenance costs incurred during the second quarter related to leg repairs on VALARIS 107 and lower costs due to VALARIS 141 commencing a three-year bareboat charter agreement with ARO during the third quarter.

ARO Drilling

Revenues decreased to $111 million from $116 million in the second quarter 2022 primarily due to an increase in out of service time related to planned maintenance on certain rigs. Contract drilling expense increased to $90 million from $82 million in the second quarter primarily due to an increase in planned maintenance costs. Operating income was $1 million compared to $16 million in the second quarter. EBITDA was $17 million compared to $31 million in the second quarter.

Other

Revenues increased marginally to $40 million from $39 million in the second quarter 2022. Contract drilling expense decreased to $18 million from $25 million in the second quarter primarily due to increased costs of certain claims in the second quarter. Operating income was $21 million compared to $13 million in the second quarter. EBITDA was $22 million compared to $15 million in the second quarter.

(1)Our contract drilling backlog reflects commitments, represented by signed drilling contracts, and is calculated by multiplying the contracted day rate by the contract period. Contract drilling backlog includes drilling contracts subject to FID and drilling contracts which grant the customer termination rights if FID is not received with respect to projects for which the drilling rig is contracted. The contracted day rate excludes certain types of lump sum fees for rig mobilization, demobilization, contract preparation, as well as customer reimbursables and bonus opportunities.

(2)Approximately $428 million of backlog as of May 2, 2022, February 21, 2022 and October 27, 2021 was attributable to a contract awarded to drillship VALARIS DS-11 for an eight-well deepwater project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that was expected to commence in mid-2024. In June 2022, the customer terminated the contract.

(3)Leased rigs and managed rigs included in Other reporting segment.

(4)Adjusted total is Valaris consolidated total plus Valaris 50% share of ARO owned rigs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Valaris’ condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, which are non-GAAP measures.

Valaris defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense, interest expense, reorganization items, net, other (income) expense, depreciation expense, amortization, net, loss on impairment, equity in earnings of ARO, and merger transaction and integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Valaris defines "Adjusted EBITDAR" as Adjusted EBITDA before reactivation costs. Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to assess the performance of our fleet excluding one-time rig reactivation costs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAR may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Valaris defines ARO "EBITDA" as net income before income tax expense, other expense, net and depreciation expense. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of ARO's core operating performance and to evaluate ARO's long-term financial performance against that of ARO's peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of ARO's core operating performance and makes it easier to compare ARO's results with those of other companies within ARO's industry. EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities, or (c) as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed on its third quarter 2022 earnings conference call, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including forward-looking tax expense and other income (expense).

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
