"Despite a continually challenging market, Diamond Offshore achieved earnings per share of $0.17 for the first quarter of 2017," said Marc Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Overall, I am pleased with our first quarter results and our ability to manage costs, while remaining focused on maintaining our operational and technical excellence. The Ocean GreatWhite, Ocean Scepter and the Ocean BlackRhino all commenced term contracts in the first quarter, enhancing our already strong liquidity." Edwards went on to say, "During the first quarter, the Ocean BlackLion successfully drilled and completed one of the deepest and most complex wells on record in the Gulf of Mexico."

Also during the quarter, the Company executed new contracts for the Ocean Monarch in Australia, the first of which is scheduled to commence in late first quarter of 2018. Combined, these contracts add nine months of backlog and will keep the Ocean Monarch contracted through 2018. Additionally, the Company executed a new two-year term contract with Apache for the Ocean Patriot in the North Sea. The rig is scheduled to commence its new program in the second quarter of 2018.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company's total contracted backlog was $3.2 billion, which represents 23 rig years of work.

(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).  Our current fleet includes four ultra-deepwater, three deepwater and three mid-water semisubmersible rigs that are cold stacked. 


(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.
