RE:P/E ratio = 183.3...

RE:P/E ratio = 183.3...
The P/E looks bad for the past 4 QT's because in the fourth quarter of 2012 they decommissioned 42 Tier 3 drilling rigs and 10 Tier 2 rigs from their fleet and took a  impairment charge of $192 million.  Not something that re-occurs too often.  That charge equates to 69 cents a share.  If you look at the 4th QT in 2012 you'll find a loss of 42c .  Without thge impairment charge the would have had a earnings for the QT of 15cents.  (I've highlighted the charge below.)
I expect them to do about 75c for 2013 which would equate to a P/E of 16 on a share value of $12.00 ( conservative estimate)
