Press Release

Valaris Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Hamilton, Bermuda, August 1, 2023… Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) ("Valaris" or the "Company") today reported second quarter 2023 results.

President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, “In the second quarter, we continued to deliver strong operational performance, achieving revenue efficiency of 97%. We also mobilized the VALARIS DS-17 to Brazil, which has completed its reactivation and is expected to commence its contract this month.”

Dibowitz added, “Our outlook for the industry and our business remains very positive, with increasing demand and constrained supply tightening the market. We continue to see increases in contract duration, lead times and day rates, all of which point towards a strong and sustained upcycle. Our earnings and cash flow should grow meaningfully over the next few years as rigs roll from legacy day rate contracts to higher market rates and reactivated rigs return to work on attractive contracts.”

Dibowitz concluded, “Moving forward, we will continue to be disciplined in exercising our operational leverage and laser-focused on maximizing long-term shareholder value. This includes our commitment to returning capital to shareholders, as demonstrated by our recently announced increase in our 2023 share repurchase target from $150 million to $200 million.”

Financial and Operational Highlights

Net loss of $27 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $15 million and Adjusted EBITDAR of $59 million;
Delivered revenue efficiency of 97%;
Awarded new contracts and extensions with associated contract backlog of approximately $180 million during the second quarter;
Long-term contract awarded to VALARIS DS-7 following quarter end, increasing total contract backlog to $3.0 billion;
Increased 2023 share repurchase target from $150 million to $200 million in conjunction with the VALARIS DS-7 contract award;
Repurchased $65 million of shares through June 30, 2023 and $94 million to date.

Second Quarter Review

Net loss was $27 million compared to net income of $49 million in the first quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $15 million from $29 million in the first quarter primarily due to higher reactivation expense. Adjusted EBITDAR increased to $59 million from $55 million in the first quarter.

Revenues decreased to $415 million from $430 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $390 million from $408 million in the first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to fewer operating days for the jackup fleet and lower mobilization and demobilization revenues. These were partially offset by an increase in the average day rate for both floaters and jackups.

Contract drilling expense decreased to $374 million from $377 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $348 million from $356 million in the first quarter primarily due to lower costs for rigs that were idle or between contracts in the second quarter, and lower repair and maintenance costs associated with special periodic surveys and contract preparation

work. These were partially offset by higher reactivation costs, which increased to $44 million from $26 million.

Depreciation expense increased to $25 million from $23 million in the first quarter 2023. General and administrative expense increased to $26 million from $24 million in the first quarter 2023 primarily due to higher personnel costs.

Other income decreased to $7 million from $13 million in the first quarter 2023. This was primarily due to a $29 million loss recognized on the extinguishment of the Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2028 and a $6 million increase in interest expense associated with the refinancing transaction. These were partially offset by a $27 million pre-tax gain recognized in the second quarter on the sale of VALARIS 54.

Tax expense was $25 million compared to a tax benefit of $28 million in the first quarter 2023. The second quarter tax provision included $6 million of discrete tax expense and the first quarter tax provision included $44 million of discrete tax benefit, which were primarily attributable to changes in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years. Adjusted for discrete items, tax expense increased to $18 million from $16 million in the first quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased to $805 million as of June 30, 2023, from $844 million as of March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to payments for share repurchases, net capital expenditures and an increase in working capital, partially offset by net proceeds from the refinancing transaction completed during the quarter.

Capital expenditures increased to $71 million from $56 million in the first quarter 2023 primarily due to an increase in fleetwide maintenance capital expenditures and reactivation capital expenditures associated with VALARIS DS-8.

Second Quarter Segment Review

Floaters

Floater revenues increased to $227 million from $215 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues increased to $216 million from $207 million in the first quarter. The increase was primarily due to more operating days and a higher average day rate for VALARIS DS-12, which commenced a new contract in the second quarter after spending part of the first quarter mobilizing from Mauritania to Angola.

Contract drilling expense increased to $196 million from $175 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense increased to $185 million from $166 million in the first quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher reactivation costs, which increased to $44 million from $26 million in the first quarter due to the commencement of a reactivation project for VALARIS DS-8 ahead of a three-year contract offshore Brazil. This was partially offset by lower reactivation expense for VALARIS DS-17, which is expected to commence operations offshore Brazil this month.

Jackups

Jackup revenues decreased to $145 million from $170 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, revenues decreased to $136 million from $162 million in the first quarter primarily due to fewer operating days and lower mobilization and demobilization revenues for VALARIS 249, which completed its contract offshore New Zealand late in the first quarter and was mobilizing to its next contract offshore Trinidad during the second quarter. In addition, VALARIS 54 was sold following the completion of its contract late in the first quarter and VALARIS 108 was idle for most of the second quarter undergoing contract preparation work ahead of a three-year bareboat charter with ARO Drilling. These were partially offset by more operating days for VALARIS 115 and 247 as both rigs commenced new contracts after idle periods.

2


Contract drilling expense decreased to $124 million from $149 million in the first quarter 2023. Excluding reimbursable items, contract drilling expense decreased to $114 million from $142 million in the first quarter. This was primarily due to lower costs for VALARIS 249 as the rig's operating costs were deferred during its mobilization from New Zealand to Trinidad, lower costs for VALARIS Viking due to the rig being preservation stacked in the first quarter and lower costs associated with special periodic surveys and contract preparations for certain rigs.

ARO Drilling

Revenues decreased to $118 million from $124 million in the first quarter 2023 primarily due to an increase in out of service time related to planned maintenance on certain rigs. Contract drilling expense increased to $95 million from $91 million in the first quarter primarily due to higher repair costs associated with the previously mentioned planned maintenance.

Other

Revenues decreased to $43 million from $46 million in the first quarter 2023 and contract drilling expense decreased to $18 million from $20 million in the first quarter.

(2) Our onshore support costs included within contract drilling expenses are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income (loss) and as such, these costs are included in "Reconciling Items." Further, general and administrative expense and depreciation expense incurred by our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income (loss) and are included in "Reconciling Items."

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR

In the second quarter, Valaris changed its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR calculations to include amortization associated with deferred mobilization and contract preparation revenues and costs and deferred capital upgrade revenues. The Company believes that this change will ensure that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR better reflect the earnings profile of our operations and will be more closely aligned with the calculation methodology used by Valaris' closest offshore drilling peers. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for all comparative periods have been revised using the new methodology to consistently reflect this change. The impact of the calculation change on both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR was negative $2 million and positive $4 million in the second and first quarter 2023, respectively.

As previously announced, Valaris will hold its second quarter 2023 earnings conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT (10:00 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, August 2, 2023. An updated investor presentation will be available on the Valaris website after the call.

(1)Adjusted EBITDAR is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and reactivation costs. Adjusted EBITDAR for active fleet, leased and managed rigs and stacked fleet also excludes onshore support costs and general and administrative expense. Starting from the second quarter 2023, our Adjusted EBITDAR calculation was changed to include amortization associated with deferred mobilization and contract preparation revenues and costs and deferred capital upgrade revenues to better reflect the earnings profile of our operations and more closely align with the calculation methodology used by Valaris' closest offshore drilling peers. Prior periods were adjusted to conform with the current period presentation.
(2)Active fleet represents rigs that are not preservation stacked and includes rigs that are in the process of being reactivated.
(3)Stacked fleet represents the combined total of all preservation and stacking costs.
(4)Reactivation costs, all of which are attributed to Valaris' active fleet, are excluded from adjusted EBITDAR.

(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.

(1)Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable revenues, lump-sum revenues, revenues earned during suspension periods and revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the aggregate number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days associated with certain suspension periods, mobilizations, demobilizations and shipyard contracts.
(2)All ARO leased rigs are leased from Valaris.
(3)Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of operating days by the number of available days in the period for the rig fleet.
(4)Revenue efficiency is day rate revenue earned as a percentage of maximum potential day rate revenue.
(5)Rig count for owned rigs excludes two rigs under construction. We expect delivery of these rigs to be in 2023.
(6)Represents the maximum number of days available in the period for the rig fleet, calculated by multiplying the number of rigs in each asset category by the number of days in the period, irrespective of asset status.
(7)Represents the total number of days under contract in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example when we receive fees while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract.

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, other (income) expense, depreciation expense, amortization, loss on impairment and equity in (earnings) losses of ARO. 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.

In the second quarter 2023, Valaris changed its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR calculations to include amortization associated with deferred mobilization and contract preparation revenues and costs and deferred capital upgrade revenues to better reflect the earnings profile of our operations and more closely align with the calculation methodology used by Valaris' closest offshore drilling peers. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for all comparative periods have been revised using the new methodology to consistently reflect this change.

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 second quarter 2023 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.
