"Despite the continued weakness in the offshore drilling market, we achieved favorable third quarter results," said Marc Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter we were able to secure additional work for our proficient moored fleet, with new wins for the Ocean Apex and Ocean Patriot, at rates well above cash flow breakeven. In addition, we took proactive measures during the quarter to further enhance our liquidity runway and better position Diamond for the eventual recovery."

As of September 30, 2017, the Company's total contracted backlog was $2.6 billion, which represents 20 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).  Our current fleet includes three ultra-deepwater and three deepwater 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, this press release provides investors with adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes that these measures provide meaningful information about the Company's performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results.  This allows investors and others to better compare the company's financial results across previous and subsequent accounting periods and to those of peer companies and to better understand the long-term performance of the Company.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered to be a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  

In order to fully assess the financial operating results of the Company, management believes that the results of operations adjusted to exclude the second quarter 2017 asset impairments, the third quarter 2017 loss on extinguishment of debt, as well as the related tax effects thereof, are appropriate measures of the continuing and normal operations of the Company.  However, these measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, contract drilling revenue, contract drilling expense, operating income, cash flows from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1)

Represents the aggregate amount of impairment loss recognized during the second quarter of 2017 related to two semisubmersible drilling rigs. 

(2)

Represents the loss recognized during the third quarter of 2017 related to the redemption of our 5.875% senior notes due 2019.

(3)

Represents the income tax effect of the aggregate impairment loss recognized in the second quarter of 2017.  The income tax effect of the impairment loss has been calculated on a discrete tax basis, utilizing the statutory tax rates for the applicable tax jurisdictions of the rig-owning companies. We believe that this approach provides investors and others with useful information regarding the actual tax impact of these transactions when the appropriate tax returns are filed with the taxing authorities.

(4)

Represents the income tax effect of the loss on extinguishment of the 2019 senior notes recognized in the third quarter of 2017.  The income tax effect of the loss was calculated using the U.S. corporate tax rate.
