Paragon Offshore Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2014 Results

HOUSTON, Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Paragon Offshore plc ("Paragon") (NYSE: PGN) today reported a fourth quarter 2014 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share as compared to fourth quarter 2013 net income of $37.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.  Results for the quarter include a $130.5 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, non-cash impairment charge related to Paragon's four cold-stacked units, the Paragon MSS3, Paragon DPDS4, Paragon FPSO1, and Paragon B153 each of which the company has decided to scrap. Results also included an $11.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, gain related to the previously disclosed repurchase of an aggregate principal amount of $35.2 million of its senior unsecured notes. Excluding the impairment, the tax impact of the loss on the impairment, and the gain, Paragon's adjusted net income (see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Table for a reconciliation to net income) was $80.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share.  Results for Prospector Offshore Drilling S.A. ("Prospector"), in which Paragon acquired a majority interest on November 17, 2014, were included in Paragon's results for the quarter. 

The Company has revised its tax provision and net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 to correct the amortization of our deferred tax liability related to the Paragon DPDS1.  In connection with the impairment of the Paragon DPDS1 during the third quarter, a tax benefit should have been recorded to proportionally eliminate the related deferred tax liability specifically related to the Paragon DPDS1.  The revision resulted in an additional non-cash tax benefit of $25.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share and corresponding increase to net income during the third quarter of 2014.  We have concluded that this misstatement was not material to our consolidated and combined financial statements for the aforementioned prior period.

For the twelve month period ending December 31, 2014, Paragon reported a loss of $646.7 million, or $7.63 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.0 billion compared to net income of $360.3 million, or $4.25 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.9 billion for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013.  Results for the full year 2014 include non-cash impairment charges of $1.1 billion as well as gains of $18.7 million related to the repurchase of the company's senior unsecured notes.  Excluding these items, Paragon's adjusted net income for full year 2014 was $351.8 million or $4.07 per diluted share.  This compares to net income for full year 2013 of $344.0 million, or $4.06 per diluted share, after adjusting 2013 results for a $43.7 million impairment, a $35.6 million gain on disposal of assets and a $24.4 million net gain on contract settlements/extinguishments (see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Table for a reconciliation to net income).

For periods prior to Paragon's spin-off from Noble Corporation plc ("Noble") on August 1, 2014 (the "Spin-Off"), results of operations are based on Noble's standard-specification business and include contributions from three standard specifications rigs retained by Noble and three standard specification rigs that were sold prior to the Spin-Off.  For more information regarding the Spin-Off, please see Paragon's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") available on the company's website at www.paragonoffshore.com.

"Paragon continued to deliver excellent operating results during the fourth quarter against an industry backdrop fraught with volatility," said Randall D. Stilley, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "In addition, we successfully executed the complex acquisition of Prospector, which begins the strategic renewal of our jackup fleet.  We also strengthened our balance sheet by repurchasing our senior notes below par value, and secured a rig agreement with Petrobras in Brazil which preserved our backlog and improved our cash position. The coming year will be a challenging one, but we believe Paragon's geographic diversity, fleet quality, operating capabilities, and safety performance will distinguish us in a market where many competitors, particularly those with newbuild assets, may struggle to secure work."

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $495.0 million compared to $505.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the $16.2 million in revenue for the rigs retained by Noble, total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $489.0 million. Paragon reported utilization for its marketed rig fleet, which excludes two cold stacked floaters and one cold stacked jackup, as 84 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014, which was an improvement of two percent compared to the third quarter of 2014. Average daily revenues decreased one percent in the fourth quarter to $149,000 per rig compared to the previous quarter average of $151,000 per rig. Contract drilling operating costs increased three percent in the fourth quarter to $224.5 million compared to $217.4 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Net cash from operating activities was $130.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $160.4 million for the third quarter of the year.  Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter totalled $79.3 million, bringing the total for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 to $261.6 million. At December 31, 2014, liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the company's revolving credit facility, totalled $703.5 million while the ratio of the company's net debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA, as defined in the company's revolving credit facility, was 2.0 at December 31, 2014. The calculated ratio excludes $366.7 million of debt related to the acquisition of Prospector which is classified as an unrestricted subsidiary of Paragon under the revolving credit facility.

Operating Highlights

Paragon's total contract backlog at December 31, 2014 was an estimated $2.2 billion compared to $2.0 billion at September 30, 2014.

Utilization of Paragon's marketed floating rig fleet decreased in the fourth quarter to 94 percent compared to 100 percent in the third quarter of 2014. Average daily revenues for Paragon's floating rig fleet decreased one percent to $287,000 per rig in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $291,000 per rig in the third quarter of 2014.

Fourth quarter 2014 utilization of Paragon's marketed jackup rig fleet increased to 82 percent compared to the 79 percent utilization achieved during the third quarter of 2014. Average daily revenues for Paragon's jackup fleet during the fourth quarter improved by three percent to $120,000 per rig from $117,000 per rig during the third quarter of 2014. 

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, an estimated 55 percent of the available rig operating days were committed for 2015, including 71 percent and 52 percent of the floating and jackup rig days, respectively. The calculations for committed operating days exclude available days related to two floating units, one jackup and the FPSO that are currently cold stacked.

Outlook

During the quarter, Paragon added approximately $590.3 million in backlog related primarily to new contracts and extensions in the North Sea and India.  This includes an increase in the North Sea of approximately $353.9 million related to the acquisition of the Prospector 1, which is contracted until mid-September 2016 at a dayrate of $185,000 and the Prospector 5, which is contracted until mid-November 2017 at a dayrate of $218,000.  In India, three new contracts were added for the Paragon M1161, Paragon L786, and Paragon L1112, each of which have contract lengths of three years with respective net dayrates of $62,000, $53,000 and $62,000.

In addition, Paragon announced in its February 17, 2015 Fleet Status Report that in the North Sea, the Paragon HZ1 received a contract extension from early July 2015 to late August 2016 at a rate of $142,000 while the Paragon C463 received a new contract with GDF SUEZ for 225 days beginning late January 2015 at a dayrate of $130,000.  Finally, the Paragon C20052 received a contract award for 75 days at $170,000.

Mr. Stilley concluded, "Our most recent Fleet Status Report illustrates clearly that our drilling rigs continue to be in demand.  Our safe, reliable, and efficient operations have enabled us to position ourselves as the high-quality, low-cost drilling contractor and in the current low oil-price environment, our customers will continue to realize value through their choice of Paragon Offshore."

Our basis of presentation related to weighted average unvested shares outstanding for all periods prior to the Spin-Off does not include our unvested restricted stock units that were granted to our employees in conjunction with Paragon's 2014 Employee Omnibus Incentive Plan.  As a result, we also have no earnings allocated to unvested share-based payment awards in our earnings per share calculation for periods prior to the Spin-Off.

(1)

No adjustments for taxes were made for 2013 as income taxes were prepared on a separate return basis as if we had been a standalone company.

(2)

Although no earnings were allocated to unvested share-based payment awards in our earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to our net loss in the current year, we have allocated earnings to unvested share-based payment awards in our calculation of adjusted earnings per share.

(1)

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 has been revised to correct the amortization of our deferred tax liability related to the Paragon DPDS1. In connection with the impairment of the Paragon DPDS1during the third quarter, a tax benefit should have been recorded to proportionally eliminate the deferred tax liability specifically related to the Paragon DPDS1.  The revision resulted in an additional non-cash tax benefit of $25.1 million and corresponding increase to net income during the third quarter.  We have concluded that this misstatement was not material to our consolidated and combined financial statements for the aforementioned prior period.
