Paragon Offshore Reports First Quarter 2016 Results And Provides Fleet Status Report

09.05.2016  |  PR Newswire
- First quarter adjusted EBITDA of $115 million net of reorganization items; revenues of $265 million
- Contract drilling services costs 28% lower compared to previous quarter
- Cash balance at March 31, 2016 of $835 million
- Contract backlog at March 31, 2016 of $806 million

HOUSTON, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Paragon Offshore plc ("Paragon") (OTC: PGNPQ) today reported a first quarter 2016 net loss of $5.2 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, as compared to first quarter 2015 net income of $61.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share.

Results for the first quarter 2015 included a $16.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, gain on the sale of an asset, a $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, gain related to the repurchase of an aggregate principal amount of $11 million of its senior unsecured notes, and a $2.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, tax provision relating to the gains. Excluding the gains and the tax impact of the gains, Paragon's adjusted net income for the first quarter 2015 was $42.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share (for a reconciliation to net income for all "adjusted" metrics, see the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Table).

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before taxes, plus interest expense, depreciation, losses on impairments, foreign currency losses, and reorganization items, less gains on the sale of assets, interest income, and foreign currency gains.  For the first quarter 2016, adjusted EBITDA was $115.4 million, compared to $97.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

"Paragon delivered better than anticipated operating results during the quarter even as we continued to engage in a process to restructure our balance sheet and eliminate a significant amount of debt," said Randall D. Stilley, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Contract drilling costs were approximately 28% lower versus the fourth quarter 2015, while contract drilling revenues were down only 12%, highlighting our ongoing ability to execute in a difficult environment."

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $265.1 million compared to $299.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Paragon reported that utilization for its marketed rig fleet, which excludes available days related to rigs that were stacked and not marketed during the quarter, declined to 53 percent for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 56 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015. Average daily revenues decreased three percent in the first quarter of 2016 to $135,000 per rig compared to the previous quarter average of $140,000 per rig. Contract drilling services costs declined 28 percent in the first quarter of 2016 to $112.7 million compared to $156.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

General and administrative ("G&A") costs for the first quarter 2016 totaled $12.2 million compared to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Reorganization costs totaled $21.8 million in the first quarter 2016 compared to $8.2 million in the fourth quarter 2015. The reorganization costs in the fourth quarter 2015 were included in G&A.

Net cash from operating activities was $106.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to $97.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Cash used for capital expenditures in the first quarter totaled $23.3 million. At March 31, 2016, liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents, totaled $835.4 million.

Operating Highlights

Paragon's total contract backlog at March 31, 2016 was an estimated $806 million compared to $1.01 billion at December 31, 2015, including approximately $142.1 million of backlog for the Paragon DPDS3 that Paragon's customer Petrobras has indicated it will contest in connection with the length of prior shipyard projects relating to the rig.

During the quarter, Paragon added approximately $40.0 million in net backlog related to previously disclosed contract extensions in the North Sea and Middle East.  In the North Sea, the Paragon B391 received a contract extension from late March 2016 to late May 2016 at a dayrate of $85,000. In the Middle East, the Paragon M1162 received a contract extension from mid-January 2017 to late January 2019 at a dayrate of $85,000, with the rate reduction retroactive to January 1, 2016.  However, the company is still in negotiations with its customer regarding the terms of the extension.  Also in the Middle East, Paragon reported in its April 2016 Fleet Status Report that it had received a notice of early termination for the Paragon L784, currently under contract to NDC (ZADCO), with an effective end date early in November 2016 and which represents a backlog reduction of $46.2 million.

Utilization of Paragon's marketed floating rig fleet was 68 percent in the first quarter of 2016, an increase from the 61 percent utilization achieved in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in marketed utilization in the first quarter of 2016 reflects the removal of the Paragon MDS1 from the calculation as that rig is cold-stacked and not currently being marketed.  Average daily revenues for Paragon's floating rig fleet increased by five percent to $265,000 per rig in the first quarter of 2016 from $252,000 per rig in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Utilization of Paragon's marketed jackup rig fleet was lower at 51 percent in the first quarter compared to the 55 percent utilization in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Average daily revenues for Paragon's jackup fleet during the first quarter decreased by six percent to $114,000 per rig from $121,000 per rig during the fourth quarter of 2015. 

At the end of the first quarter of 2016, an estimated 33 percent of the company's marketed rig operating days were committed for 2016, including 33 percent for both floating and jackup rig days.  The calculations for committed operating days exclude available days related to rigs that were stacked and not marketed during the quarter.

Restructuring Background and Update

As announced on February 15, 2016, Paragon commenced proceedings to restructure its balance sheet under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the United States Bankruptcy Court (the "Bankruptcy Court") in the District of Delaware.  The company has entered into a Plan Support Agreement ("PSA") with an ad hoc committee representing approximately 77 percent in the aggregate of holders (the "Bondholders") of its senior unsecured notes and a group comprising approximately 96 percent of the amounts outstanding (the "Revolver Lenders") under Paragon's Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). Approval of the transaction by the Revolver Lenders and the Bondholders will require that 2/3 in principal amount and 1/2 in number of those voting in each class to approve the transaction. Paragon also reached an agreement with Noble Corporation ("Noble") whereby Noble will provide Mexican tax bonding and assume certain tax liabilities.

On April 6, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court approved the company's disclosure statement as amended as well as an amended plan of reorganization.  The Bankruptcy Court also set June 21, 2016 as the date for commencement of the plan confirmation hearing before the Bankruptcy Court.

Outlook

"Although oil prices have rebounded off their lows for the year, we do not anticipate a resumption in offshore drilling activity in the near-term," Mr. Stilley said.  "Paragon's focus is on emerging from our Chapter 11 process mid-summer as a stronger, more competitive company that is well-positioned for the future.  We intend to continue to manage our costs and maintain adequate liquidity while we aggressively pursue any new contracts that are available.  In spite of the downturn, Paragon will continue to differentiate itself through our dedicated service delivery of safe, reliable, and efficient operations."

Paragon Provides Fleet Status Report and Information on Going Concern Risk

Paragon also announced today that it issued a report on drilling rig status and contract information as of May 9, 2016.  The report, titled "Fleet Status Report," can be accessed on the Company's website at www.paragonoffshore.com under the "Our Fleet" or "Investor Relations-Fleet Status Reports" sections of the website.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Paragon will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Bankruptcy Court's approval of its reorganization plan. This represents a material uncertainty related to events and conditions that may cause significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  During the period that we are operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11, Paragon may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business (and subject to restrictions in our debt agreements), for amounts other than those reflected in the company's consolidated financial statements.  Investors are urged to review the contents of the company's Form 10-Q including the discussions under "Risk Factors" when the document is filed.

Marketed utilization excludes the impact of Paragon cold-stacked rigs for each comparable quarter, respectively.
