PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.Financial Statements


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
EnscoValaris plc:
 
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of EnscoValaris plc and subsidiaries (the Company)Company, formerly known as Ensco Rowan plc and Ensco plc) as of June 30, 2018,2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive lossincome (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2017,2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2018,28, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017,2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1 -Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
On April 11, 2019, we completed our combination with Rowan Companies Limited (formerly named Rowan Companies plc) ("Rowan") and effected a four-to-one share consolidation (being a reverse stock split under English law or the "Reverse Stock Split") and changed our name to Ensco Rowan plc. On July 30, 2019, we changed our name to Valaris plc. All share and per-share amounts in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of EnscoValaris plc and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Ensco,"Valaris," "our," "we" or "us") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") included in the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The financial information included in this report is unaudited but, in our opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 20172018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data werewas derived from our 20172018 audited consolidated financial statements, but dodoes not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related revenues and expenses and disclosures of gain and loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The financial data for the three-month and six-month periodsquarters ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018 included herein have been subjected to a limited review by KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.

New Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Update 2018-02, Income StatementRecently adopted accounting standards
Derivatives and Hedging - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("Update 2018-02"), which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted Update 2018-02 effective January 1, 2018. As a result, we reclassified a total of $800,000 in tax effects from AOCI to opening retained earnings.

In August 2017, the FASBissued Update 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("Update 2017-12"), which will makemakes more hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It alsoaccounting, amends presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness.effectiveness, including the elimination of separate measurement and recognition of ineffectiveness on designated hedging instruments. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluatingadopted Updated 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. As a result, beginning on the effect that Update 2017-12effective date, we will haveno longer separately measure and recognize ineffectiveness on our consolidated financial statementsdesignated cash flow hedges. Update 2017-02 requires a modified retrospective adoption approach whereby amounts previously recorded to earnings for hedge ineffectiveness on hedging relationships that exist as of the adoption date are recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. As of our adoption date, we had no amounts previously recorded for ineffectiveness for hedging relationships that existed as of our adoption date and related disclosures.therefore no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was recorded.




Leases - During 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)(" ("Update 2016-02"), which requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key qualitative and


quantitative information about the entity's leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. During our evaluation of Update 2016-02, we concluded that our drilling contracts contain a lease component. In JanuaryJuly 2018, the FASB issued a Proposed Accounting Standard Update to provide targeted improvements to Update 2016-02,2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which (1) providesprovided for a new transition method whereby entities maycould elect to adopt the Update using a prospective with cumulative catch-up approach (the "effective date method") and (2) providesprovided lessors with a practical expedient, to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, by class of underlying asset. On March 28, 2018, the FASB held a meetingasset, to approve certain additional amendments to Update 2016-02, including a revision to the practical expedient that would allow a lessor tonot separate lease and non-lease components and account for the combined lease and non-lease componentscomponent under Topic 606 (discussed below) when the non-lease component is the predominant element of the combined component. DependingThe lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the lease, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease under Topic 842. We adopted ASU 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019, using the effective date method.

With respect to our drilling contracts, which contain a lease component, we elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component under Topic 606. With respect to all of our drilling contracts that existed on the adoption date, we concluded that the criteria included into elect the final Update, thislessor practical expedient may be available to us.had been met. As a result, ofwe will continue to recognize the pending content of the final Update,revenue associated with our drilling contracts under Topic 606. Therefore, we aredo not yet able to determine what, ifexpect any impact our adoption will have onchange in our revenue recognition patterns and related disclosures. or disclosures as a result of our adoption of Topic 842.

With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we expect to recognize lease liabilities and offsetting "rightelected several practical expedients afforded under Topic 842. We elected the package of use" assets ranging from approximately $60 million to $80 million.

During 2014, the FASB issued Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires entities to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Update 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted Update 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Only customer contracts that were not completed as of the effective adoption date were evaluatedpractical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of Topic 842, including the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to determine ifuse hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes, with the exception of office space. Furthermore, we also elected the practical expedient that permits entities not to apply the recognition requirements for leases with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to retained earnings was warranted. Revenuesterm of 12 months or less. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, we recognized in prior yearslease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $64.6 million and $53.7 million, respectively. See Note 14 for customer contracts that expired prioradditional information.

Defined Benefit Plans - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the effectiveDisclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. We will be required to adopt the amended guidance in annual and interim reports beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption date continuepermitted. Adoption is required to be reported underapplied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are in the previous revenue recognition guidance. Our adoptionprocess of Update 2014-09 did not result in a cumulative effectevaluating the impact this amendment will have on retained earnings and no adjustments were made to prior periods. While Update 2014-09 requires additional disclosure regarding revenues recognized from customer contracts, our adoption did not have a material impact on the recognition of current or prior period revenues as compared to previous guidance nor do we expect a material impact to our pattern of revenue recognition in future periods. See "Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" for additional information.condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 -Revenue from Contracts with Customers
 
WeOur drilling contracts with customers provide a drilling rig and drilling services on a day rate contract basis. Under day rate contracts, we provide an integrated service that includes the provision of a drilling rig and rig crews for which we receive a daily rate that may vary between the full rate and zero rate throughout the duration of the contractual term, depending on the operations of the rig.

We also may receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for the mobilization, demobilization and capital upgrades of our rigs. Our customers bear substantially all of the costs of constructing the well and supporting drilling operations, as well as the economic risk relative to the success of the well.


Our integrated drilling service provided under each drilling contract is a single performance obligation satisfied over time and comprised of a series of distinct time increments, or service periods. Total revenue is determined for each individual drilling contract by estimating both fixed and variable consideration expected to be earned over the contract term. Fixed consideration generally relates to activities such as mobilization, demobilization and capital upgrades of our rigs that are not distinct within the context of our contracts and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Variable consideration generally relates to distinct service periods during the contract term and is recognized in the period when the services are performed.



The amount estimated for variable consideration is only recognized as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur during the contract term. We have applied the optional exemption afforded in Update 2014-09 and have not disclosed the variable consideration related to our estimated future day rate revenues. The remaining duration of our drilling contracts based on those in place as of June 30, 20182019 was between approximately one month and fivefour years.




Day Rate Drilling Revenue


Our drilling contracts provide for payment on a day rate basis and include a rate schedule with higher rates for periods when the drilling unit is operating and lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted. The day rate invoiced to the customer is determined based on the varying rates applicable to specific activities performed on an hourly or other time increment basis. Day rate consideration is allocated to the distinct hourly or other time increment to which it relates within the contract term and is generally recognized consistent with the contractual rate invoiced for the services provided during the respective period. Invoices are typically issuedbilled to our customers on a monthly basis and payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to- 45 days.


Certain of our contracts contain performance incentives whereby we may earn a bonus based on pre-established performance criteria. Such incentives are generally based on our performance over individual monthly or other time periods or individual wells. Consideration related to performance bonus is generally recognized in the specific time period to which the performance criteria was attributed.


We may receive termination fees if certain drilling contracts are terminated by the customer prior to the end of the contractual term. Such compensation is recognized as revenues whenwhereby our performance obligation is satisfied, the termination fee can be reasonably measured and collection is probable.
 
Mobilization / Demobilization Revenue


In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for the mobilization of equipment and personnel prior to the commencement of drilling services or the demobilization of equipment and personnel upon contract completion. Fees received for the mobilization or demobilization of equipment and personnel are included in operating revenues. The costs incurred in connection with the mobilization and demobilization of equipment and personnel are included in contract drilling expense.


Mobilization fees received prior to commencement of drilling operations are recorded as a contract liability and amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Demobilization fees expected to be received upon contract completion are estimated at contract inception and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. In some cases, demobilization fees may be contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event. In such cases, this may result in cumulative-effect adjustments to demobilization revenues upon changes in our estimates of future events during the contract term.
 
Capital Upgrade / Contract Preparation Revenue


In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for requested capital upgrades to our drilling rigs or for other contract preparation work. Fees received for requested capital upgrades and other contract preparation work are recorded as a contract liability and amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term to operating revenues. Costs incurred for capital upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the asset.



Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets represent amounts previously recognized as revenue but for which the right to invoice the customer is dependent upon our future performance. Once the previously recognized revenue is invoiced, the corresponding contract asset, or a portion thereof, is transferred to accounts receivable. Contract liabilities generally represent fees received for mobilization or capital upgrades.



Contract assets and liabilities are presented net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis. Current contract assets and liabilities are included in other current assets and accrued liabilities and other, respectively, and noncurrent contract assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Contract Costs


Costs incurred for upfront rig mobilizations and certain contract preparationspreparation are attributable to our future performance obligation under each respective drilling contract. Such costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Demobilization costs are recognized as incurred upon contract completion. Costs associated with the mobilization of equipment and personnel to more promising market areas without contracts are expensed as incurred. Deferred contract costs were included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $39.2$45.1 million and $40.6$23.5 million as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, amortization of such costs totaled $8.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively.


Deferred Certification Costs


We must obtain certifications from various regulatory bodies in order to operate our drilling rigs and must maintain such certifications through periodic inspections and surveys. The costs incurred in connection with maintaining such certifications, including inspections, tests, surveys and drydock, as well as remedial structural work


and other compliance costs, are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the corresponding certification periods. Deferred regulatory certification and compliance costs were included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $14.2$12.1 million and $15.3$13.6 million as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Note 3 -Acquisition of AtwoodRowan Transaction


On October 6, 20177, 2018, we entered into a transaction agreement (the "Merger"Transaction Agreement") with Rowan. On April 11, 2019 (the "Transaction Date"), we completed our combination with Rowan pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (the "Rowan Transaction"). Rowan's financial results are included in our consolidated results beginning on the Transaction Date.

Prior to the Rowan Transaction, Rowan and Saudi Aramco formed a merger transaction (the "Merger"50/50 joint venture to own, manage and operate drilling rigs offshore Saudi Arabia ("Saudi Aramco Rowan Offshore Drilling Company" or "ARO"). ARO currently owns a fleet of seven jackup rigs, leases another nine jackup rigs from us (two of which are expected to commence drilling operations during the third quarter of 2019) and has plans to order up to 20 newbuild jackup rigs over the next 10 years. See Note 4 for additional information on ARO.

The Rowan Transaction is expected to enhance the market leadership of the combined company with Atwood Oceanics, Inc. ("Atwood")a fleet of high-specification floaters and Echo Merger Sub, LLC,jackups and position us well to meet increasing and evolving customer demand. The increased scale, diversification and financial strength of the combined company will provide us advantages to better serve our wholly-owned subsidiary. customers. Exclusive of two older jackup rigs marked for retirement, Rowan’s offshore rig fleet as of the Transaction Date consisted of four ultra-deepwater drillships and 19 jackup rigs.

Consideration

As a result of the Rowan Transaction, Rowan shareholders received 2.750 Valaris Class A ordinary shares for each Rowan Class A ordinary share, representing a value of $43.67 per Rowan share based on a closing price of $15.88 per Valaris share on April 10, 2019, the last trading day before the Transaction Date. Total consideration delivered in the Rowan Transaction consisted of 88.3 million Valaris shares with an aggregate value of $1.4 billion, inclusive of $2.6 million for the estimated fair value of replacement employee equity awards. Upon closing of the Rowan Transaction, we effected a consolidation (being a reverse stock split under English law) where every four existing Class A ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of $0.10, were consolidated into one Class A ordinary share, each with a nominal value of $0.40. All share and per share data included in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.



Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
Under U.S. GAAP, Valaris is considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, Rowan's assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the MergerRowan Transaction were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the MergerTransaction Date under the acquisition method of accounting. When the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred in an acquisition, the difference is recorded as a bargain purchase gain in the period in which the transaction occurs. WithWe have not finalized the exception of certain spare parts and equipment and legal and tax exposures, we have substantially completed our fair value assessmentsvalues of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Whileassumed; therefore, the fair value estimates set forth below are subject to adjustment during a one-year measurement period subsequent to the Transaction Date. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities including materials and supplies, long-lived assets, contingencies and unrecognized tax benefits require judgments and assumptions that increase the likelihood that adjustments may be recordedmade to these estimates during the remainder of the measurement period, we do not expect them toand those adjustments could be material.

(3) Gross contractual amounts receivable totaled $64.7 million as of the Merger Date.




Bargain Purchase Gain


The estimated fair values assigned to assets acquired net of liabilities assumed exceeded the consideration transferred, resulting in a bargain purchase gain primarily due to depressed offshore drilling company valuations. Market capitalizations across the offshore drilling industry have declined significantly since mid-2014 due to the decline in commodity prices and the related imbalance of supply and demand for drilling rigs. The resulting bargain purchase gain was further driven by the decline in our share price from $6.70$33.92 to $5.83$15.88 between the last trading day prior to the announcement of the MergerRowan Transaction and the MergerTransaction Date. The estimated bargain purchase gain of $712.8 million was reflected in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019.

Transaction-related costs were expensed as incurred and consisted of various advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees totaling $15.0 million and $17.8 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019. These costs were included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Materials and Supplies

We recorded materials and supplies at an estimated fair value of $83.0 million. Materials and supplies consist of consumable parts and supplies maintained on drilling rigs and in shore-based warehouse locations for use in operations and is generally comprised of items of low per unit cost and high reorder frequency. We estimated the fair value of Rowan's materials and supplies primarily using a market approach.

Equity Method Investment in ARO

The equity method investment in ARO was recorded at its estimated fair value as of the Transaction Date. See Note 4 for addition information on ARO. We estimated the fair value of the equity investment primarily by applying an income approach, using projected discounted cash flows of the underlying assets, a risk-adjusted discount rate and an estimated effective income tax rate.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment acquired in connection with the Rowan Transaction consisted primarily of drilling rigs and related equipment, including four drillships and 19 jackup rigs (exclusive of two jackups marked for retirement).  We recorded property and equipment at its estimated fair value of $3.0 billion. We estimated the fair value of the rigs and equipment by applying an income approach, using projected discounted cash flows, a risk-adjusted discount rate and an estimated effective income tax rate. The estimated remaining useful lives for Rowan's drilling rigs ranged from 16 to 35 years based on original estimated useful lives of 30 to 35 years.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities


We recorded intangible assets totaling$30.1and liabilities of $16.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of Atwood'sRowan's firm drilling contracts in place at the MergerTransaction Date with favorable or unfavorable contract terms compared to then-market day rates for comparable drilling rigs. The various factors considered in the determination of these fair values were (1) the contracted day rate for each contract, (2) the remaining term of each contract, (3) the rig class and (4) the market conditions for each respective rig class at the Transaction Date. The intangible assets and liabilities were calculated based on the present value of the difference in cash flows over the remaining contract term as compared to a hypothetical contract with the same remaining term at an estimated then-current market day rate using a risk-adjusted discount rate and an estimated effective income tax rate.


Operating revenues were net of $4.3reduced by $1.1 million and $5.8 million offor net asset amortization during the three-month and six-month periods endedperiod from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2018, respectively.2019. The remaining balance of $8.2intangible assets and liabilities of $14.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, was included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. This balance2019. These balances will be amortized to operating revenues over the respective remaining drilling contract termterms on a straight-line basis totaling $5.6 million andbasis. As of June 30, 2019, the remaining terms of the underlying contracts is approximately 2.5 years. Amortization of these intangibles is expected to result in a reduction to revenue of $2.6 million, during the remainder of 2018$5.1 millionand$5.4 million for 2019, 2020 and full year 2019,2021, respectively.


Long-term Debt

We recorded intangibleRowan's long-term debt at its estimated fair value as of the Transaction Date, which were based on quoted market prices for Rowan's publicly traded debt as of April 10, 2019.



Deferred Taxes

The Rowan Transaction was executed through the acquisition of Rowan's outstanding ordinary shares and, therefore, the historical tax bases of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, net operating losses and other tax attributes of Rowan, were assumed as of the Transaction Date.  However, adjustments were recorded to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of differences between acquisition date fair values and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Additionally, the interaction of our and Rowan's tax attributes that impacted the deferred taxes of the combined entity were also recognized as part of acquisition accounting. As of the Transaction Date, an increase of $10.0 million and a decrease of $98.0 million to Rowan's historical net deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, respectively, was recognized.     

Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in connection with the Rowan Transaction were measured at rates enacted as of the Transaction Date.  Tax rate changes, or any deferred tax adjustments for new tax legislation, following the Transaction Date will be reflected in our operating results in the period in which the change in tax laws or rate is enacted.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Uncertain tax positions assumed in a business combination are measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. As of the Transaction Date, Rowan had previously recognized net liabilities for uncertain tax positions totaling $50.4 million. Subsequent to the Transaction Date, we received tax assessments related to certain filing positions taken by Rowan in prior years totaling approximately $159.0 million. We continue to evaluate these and other Rowan filing positions and have recognized additional liabilities of $60.0$52.0 million, which reflects the amount of the Rowan filing positions that we have preliminarily concluded we will not more-likely-than-not sustain. Our continuing evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding these positions may result in revisions to this estimate, which could be material.
Revenue and Earnings of Rowan

Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods end June 30, 2019 include revenues of $147.2 million and a net loss of $95.3 million associated with Rowan's operations from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019.



Unaudited Pro Forma Impact of the Rowan Transaction

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma results present consolidated information as if the Rowan Transaction was completed on January 1, 2018. The pro forma results include, among others, (i) the amortization associated with acquired intangible assets and liabilities (ii) a reduction in depreciation expense for adjustments to property and equipment (iii) the amortization of premiums and discounts recorded on Rowan's debt (iv) removal of the historical amortization of unrealized gains and losses related to Rowan's pension plans and (v) the amortization of basis differences in assets and liabilities of ARO. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies or non-recurring charges that may result directly from the Rowan Transaction.

Note 4 -Equity Method Investment in ARO

Background
During 2016, Rowan and Saudi Aramco entered into an agreement to create a 50/50 joint venture (the "Shareholders' Agreement") to own, manage and operate offshore drilling rigs in Saudi Arabia. The new entity, ARO, was formed in May 2017 with each of Rowan and Saudi Aramco contributing $25 million to be used for working capital needs.
In October 2017, Rowan sold rigs Bob Keller, J.P. Bussell and Gilbert Rowe to ARO and Saudi Aramco sold SAR 201 and related assets to ARO in each case for cash. Upon completion of the rig sales, ARO was deemed to have commenced operations. Saudi Aramco subsequently sold another rig, SAR 202, to ARO in December 2017 for cash and in October 2018, Rowan sold two additional jackup rigs, the Scooter Yeargain and the Hank Boswell, to ARO for cash. As a result of these rig sales, ARO owns seven jackup rigs as of June 30, 2019.

During 2017 and 2018, Rowan contributed cash to ARO in exchange for 10-year shareholder notes receivable at a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus two percent. As of June 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the long-term notes receivable from ARO was $453.1 million. The Shareholders’ Agreement prohibits the sale or transfer of the shareholder note to a third party, except in certain limited circumstances.

Rigs purchased by ARO will receive contracts from Saudi Aramco for an aggregate 15 years, renewed and re-priced every three years, provided that the rigs meet the technical and operational requirements of Saudi Aramco. Each of the seven rigs owned by ARO is currently operating under its initial three-year contract.

Additionally, prior to the Rowan Transaction, Rowan entered into agreements with ARO to lease nine rigs to ARO (the "Lease Agreements"). The rigs are leased to ARO through bareboat charter arrangements whereby substantially all operating costs are incurred by ARO. All nine leased rigs are under three-year drilling contracts with Saudi Aramco. As of June 30, 2019, seven of the rigs were operating under their contracts and two rigs, the Bess Brants and Earnest Dees, were undergoing shipyard projects prior to commencing their contracts with Saudi Aramco. The Bess Brants and Earnest Dees are expected to commence drilling operations in August and September 2019, respectively.



Rowan and Saudi Aramco have agreed to take all steps necessary to ensure that ARO purchases at least 20 newbuild jackup rigs ratably over 10 years. The partners intend for the newbuild jackup rigs to be financed out of available cash from ARO's operations and/or funds available from third-party debt financing. In the event ARO has insufficient cash from operations or is unable to obtain third party financing, each partner may periodically be required to make additional capital contributions to ARO, up to a maximum aggregate contribution of $1.25 billion to fund the newbuild program. Each partner's commitment shall be reduced by the actual cost of each newbuild rig, on a proportionate basis. The partners agreed that Saudi Aramco as a customer will provide drilling contracts to ARO in connection with the acquisition of the newbuild rigs. The initial contracts provided by Saudi Aramco for each of the newbuild rigs will be for an eight-year term. The day rate for the initial contracts for each newbuild rig will be determined using a pricing mechanism that targets a defined payback period for construction costs on an EBITDA basis. The initial eight-year contracts will be followed by a minimum of another eight years of term, re-priced in three-year intervals based on a market pricing mechanism.

Upon establishment of ARO, Rowan also entered into (1) an agreement to provide certain back-office services for a period of time until ARO develops its own infrastructure (the "Transition Services Agreement"), and (2) an agreement to provide certain Rowan employees through secondment arrangements to assist with various onshore and offshore services for the benefit of ARO (the "Secondment Agreement"). These agreements remain in place subsequent to the Rowan Transaction. Pursuant to these agreements, we or our seconded employees provide various services to ARO, and in return, are provided remuneration for those services. From time to time, we may also sell equipment or supplies to ARO.

The operating revenues of ARO presented below reflect revenues earned under drilling contracts with Saudi Aramco for the seven ARO-owned jackup rigs and the seven rigs leased from us that operated during the period from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019.

The contract drilling expenses, depreciation and general and administrative expenses presented below are also for the period from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019. Contract drilling expense is inclusive of the bareboat charter fees for the rigs leased from us. Cost incurred under the Secondment Agreement are included in both contract drilling expense and general and administrative, depending on the function to which the seconded employee's service relates. Substantially all costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement are included in general and administrative. See additional discussion below regarding these related-party transactions.

We account for our interest in ARO using the equity method of accounting and only recognize our portion of ARO's net income, adjusted for basis differences as discussed below, which is included in equity in earnings of ARO in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. ARO is a variable interest entity; however, we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate ARO. Judgments regarding our level of influence over ARO included considering key factors such as: each partner's ownership interest, representation on the board of managers of ARO and ability to direct activities that most significantly impact ARO's economic performance, including the ability to influence policy-making decisions.

Equity in Earnings of ARO
As a result of the Rowan Transaction, we recorded our equity method investment in ARO at its estimated fair value on the Transaction Date. Additionally, we computed the difference between the fair value of ARO's net assets and the carrying value of those net assets in ARO's GAAP financial statements ("basis differences"). The basis differences primarily relate to ARO's long-lived assets and the recognition of intangible assets associated with certain of ARO's drilling contracts that were determined to have favorable terms as of the Transaction Date. The basis differences are amortized over the remaining life of the assets or liabilities to which they relate and are recognized as an adjustment to the equity in earnings of ARO in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of those basis differences are combined with our 50% interest in ARO's net income. A reconciliation of those components is presented below (in millions):

We also have an agreement between us and ARO, pursuant to which ARO will reimburse us for certain capital expenditures related to the shipyard upgrade projects for the Bess Brants and Earnest Dees. As of June 30, 2019, $14.3 million related to reimbursement of these expenditures is included in accounts receivable, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts receivable from ARO related to the above items totaled $63.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and are included in accounts receivable, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accounts payable to ARO totaled $2.8 million as of June 30, 2019.
During 2017 and 2018, Rowan contributed cash to ARO in exchange for 10-year shareholder notes receivable at a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus two percent. Interest is recognized as interest income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and totaled $5.1 million for the estimated fair valueperiod from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019. As of unfavorable drillship construction contracts,June 30, 2019, we had interest receivable from ARO of $11.5 million, which were determinedis included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The following summarizes the total assets and liabilities as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as well as our maximum exposure to loss related to ARO (in millions). Generally, our maximum exposure to loss is limited to (1) our equity investment in ARO; (2) the outstanding balance on our shareholder notes receivable; and (3) other receivables for services provided to ARO, partially offset by comparing the firm obligationspayables for the remaining construction of ENSCO DS-13 and ENSCO DS-14 to the estimated current market rates for the construction of a comparable drilling rig. The liabilities will be amortized over the estimated life of ENSCO DS-13 and ENSCO DS-14 as a reduction of depreciation expense beginning on the date the rig is placed into service.services received.

Our senior notes due 2019 were redeemed in full in February 2018. See "Note 7 - Debt" for additional information.

(2)
The reduction in carrying value of our seniors notes due 2020 and senior notes due 2021 was attributable to repurchases and redemptions during the first quarter of 2018.

(3)
Our exchangeable senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Convertible Notes") were issued with a conversion feature. The 2024 Convertible Notes were separated into their liability and equity components on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The equity component was initially recorded to additional paid-in capital and as a debt discount that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the instrument. Excluding the unamortized discount, the carrying value of the 2024 Convertible Notes was $835.1$837.4 million and $834.0$836.3 million as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

These senior notes were assumed by Valaris as a result of the Rowan Transaction.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and debentures were determined using quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.




The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Our short-term investments consisted of time deposits with initial maturities in excess of three months but less than one year as of each respective balance sheet date.



Note 6 -Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits

Prior to the Rowan Transaction, Rowan established various defined-benefit pension plans and a post-retirement health and life insurance plan that provide benefits upon retirement for certain full-time employees. The defined-benefit-pension plans include: (1) the Rowan Pension Plan; (2) the Rowan SERP; (3) the Norway Onshore Plan; and (4) the Norway Offshore Plan. The Retiree Medical Plan provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits.
As a result of the Rowan Transaction, we assumed these plans, which were remeasured as of the Transaction Date. Each of the plans has a benefit obligation that exceeds the fair value of plan assets. As of the Transaction Date, the net projected benefit obligations totaled $239.3 million, of which $19.2 million was classified as current. The current and non-current portions of the net benefit obligations are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively. The most significant of the assumed plans is the Rowan Pension Plan, which had a net projected benefit obligation of $202.1 million. Prior to the Transaction Date, Rowan amended the Rowan Pension Plan to freeze the plan as to any future benefit accruals. As a result, eligible employees no longer receive pay credits in the pension plan and newly hired employees will not be eligible to participate in the pension plan.
    The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows (in millions):
 April 11 - June 30, 2019

Included in contract drilling and general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(2)
Included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

From the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019, we contributed $4.0 million to our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans and expect to make additional contributions to such plans totaling approximately $10.7 million for the remainder of 2019, which represent the minimum contributions we are required to make under relevant statutes. We do not expect to make contributions in excess of the minimum required amounts.
Note 57 -Derivative Instruments
    
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to various market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange rate risk.
 
All of our derivatives were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements were not offset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in derivativethe fair value of derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  Net liabilities of $6.5$4.3 million and net assets of $6.8$10.7 million associated with our foreign currency forward contractsderivatives were included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.  All of our derivative instruments mature during the next 18 months.  See "Note 45 - Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the fair value measurement of our derivatives.

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various currencies. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $212.1$177.5 million for various foreign currencies, including $82.5$94.1 million for British pounds, $69.2$44.4 million for Australian dollars, $24.2$18.9 million for euros, $14.9 million for Brazilian reals, $14.5$10.4 million for Singapore dollars and $6.8$9.7 million for other currencies.Brazilian reals.

We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various methods to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities but do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $153.2$104.2 million for various foreign currencies, including $96.8 million for euros, $22.2$28.1 million for Australian dollars, $11.6$13.8 million for Indonesian rupiahs, $8.4$13.4 million for Brazilian reals, $6.5Qatari riyals, $8.3 million for British pounds, $7.3 million for Nigerian Naira, $6.8 million for Thai Baht, $6.2 million for Israeli New Shekel, $5.3 million for euros, and $7.7$15.0 million for other currencies.
     
Net losses of $9.3$2.2 million and net gains of $5.7$9.3 million associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Net losses of $7.5$5.3 million and net gains of $6.2$7.5 million associated with our


derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. These gains and losses were partially offset by net foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the respective periods.
    
As of June 30, 2018,2019, the estimated amount of net losses associated with derivative instruments, net of tax, that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months totaled $2.3$2.9 million.

Note 69 - Earnings Per Share
 
We compute basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the two-class method. Net lossincome attributable to EnscoValaris used in our computations of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted to exclude net income allocated to non-vested shares granted to our employees and non-employee directors. Weighted-average shares outstanding used in our computation of diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and excludes non-vested shares.


During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, all income attributable to noncontrolling interests was from continuing operations. The following table is a reconciliation of lossincome (loss) from continuing operations attributable to EnscoValaris shares used in our basic and diluted EPS computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018 (in millions):

Anti-dilutive share awards totaling 400.000 and 300,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Anti-dilutive share awards totaling 1.7 million were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018. Anti-dilutive share awards totaling 1.3 million were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.





We have the option to settle our 2024 Convertible Notes in cash, shares or a combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, (i.e., our share price exceeds the exchange price on the date of conversion), we expect to deliver shares equal to the remainder of our conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount.


During each reporting period that our average share price exceeds the exchange price, an assumed number of shares required to settle the conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount will be included in our denominator for the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Our average share price did not exceed the exchange price during the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2017.2018.

Maturities

Following
In connection with the January 2018 debt offering, repurchases and redemption, our only debt maturities until 2024 are $122.9Rowan Transaction on April 11, 2019, we issued 88.3 million during 2020 and $113.5 million during 2021.



Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility")Class A ordinary shares with a syndicate of banks to be used for general corporate purposes. Our borrowing capacity is $2.0 billion through September 2019 and declines to $1.3 billion through September 2020 and to $1.2 billion through September 2022. The credit agreement governing the Credit Facility includes an accordion feature allowing us to increase the commitments expiring in September 2022 up to an aggregate amountvalue of $1.4 billion. See Note 3 for additional information.

On April 11, 2019, we completed our combination with Rowan and effected a four-to-one share consolidation (being a reverse stock split under English law or the "Reverse Stock Split"). All share and per-share amounts in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Note 12 -Income Taxes
Valaris plc, our parent company, is domiciled and resident in the U.K. Our subsidiaries conduct operations and earn income in numerous countries and are subject to the laws of taxing jurisdictions within those countries. The income of our non-U.K. subsidiaries is generally not subject to exceed $1.5 billion.U.K. taxation. Income tax rates imposed in the tax jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. In some cases, tax rates may be applicable to gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other bases utilized under local tax laws, rather than to net income. Therefore, we generally incur income tax expense in periods in which we operate at a loss.

Advances underOur drilling rigs frequently move from one taxing jurisdiction to another to perform contract drilling services. In some instances, the Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate, depending onmovement of our credit ratings. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ondrilling rigs among taxing jurisdictions will involve the undrawn portiontransfer of ownership of the $2.0 billion commitment, which is also based ondrilling rigs among our credit rating.

In January 2018, Moody's downgraded our senior unsecured bond credit rating from B2 to B3. The rating actions resulted in an increase to the interest rates applicable to our borrowings and the quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the $2.0 billion commitment. The applicable margin rates are 3.00% per annum for Base Rate advances and 4.00% per annum for LIBOR advances. The quarterly commitment fee is 0.75% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.0 billion commitment. 
The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60% and to provide guarantees from certain of our rig-owning subsidiaries sufficient to meet certain guarantee coverage ratios. The Credit Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens (subject to customary exceptions, including a permitted lien basket that permits us to raise secured debt up to the lesser of $750 million or 10% of consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the Credit Facility)); entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; paying or distributing dividends on our ordinary shares (subject to certain exceptions, including the ability to continue paying a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share); borrowings, if after giving effect to any such borrowings and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of available cash (as defined in the Credit Facility) would exceed $150 million; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates.

The Credit Facility also includes a covenant restricting our ability to repay indebtedness maturing after September 2022, which is the final maturity date of our Credit Facility. This covenant is subject to certain exceptions that permit us to manage our balance sheet, including the ability to make repayments of indebtedness (i) of acquired companies within 90 days of the completion of the acquisition or (ii) if, after giving effect to such repayments, available cash is greater than $250 million and there are no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt.subsidiaries. As a result of recent rating actions, we dofrequent changes in the taxing jurisdictions in which our drilling rigs are operated and/or owned, changes in the overall level of our income and changes in tax laws, our consolidated effective income tax rate may vary substantially from one reporting period to another.

Income tax rates and taxation systems in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary and our subsidiaries are frequently subjected to minimum taxation regimes. In some jurisdictions, tax liabilities are based on gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other factors, rather than on net income and our subsidiaries are frequently unable to realize tax benefits when they operate at a loss. Accordingly, during periods of declining profitability, our consolidated income tax expense generally does not maintain an investment-grade status. Our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, could limit our available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing our debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may resultdecline proportionally with consolidated income, which results in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants,effective income tax rates. Furthermore, we generally continue to incur income tax expense in periods in which may further restrict our operations.

we operate at a loss on a consolidated basis.

Note 8 -Share-based Compensation

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we granted 4.7 million non-vested share awards to our employees pursuant to our 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our annual general meeting in May. Grants of our non-vested share awards generally vest at rates of 20% per year, as determined by a committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The non-vested share awards have dividend rights effective on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards to be settled in cash is remeasured each quarter with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in our share price. The weighted-average grant date fair value for our non-vested share awards that were granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $6.58.
Note 9 -Income Taxes

Historically, we have calculated our provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to pre-tax income or loss, excluding discrete items, for the reporting period. We determined that since small changes in estimated pre-tax income or loss would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate of income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. We will continue to evaluate income tax estimates under the historical method in subsequent quarters and employ a discrete effective tax rate method if warranted.


Discrete income tax benefit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $1.2 million and was primarily attributable to the resolution of prior period tax matters. Discrete income tax benefit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2.3 million and was primarily attributable to U.S. tax reform and a restructuring transaction, partially offset by discrete tax expense related to rig salesthe repurchase and redemption of senior notes and unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years. Excluding the aforementioned discrete tax items, income tax expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $33.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The 6.8 million increase in income tax expense as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to income tax associated with Rowan's operations from the Transaction Date.

Discrete income tax benefit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $0.6 million and was primarily attributable to unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years and the resolution of other


prior period tax matters. Discrete income tax benefit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $11.2 million and was primarily attributable to U.S. tax reform and a restructuring transaction, partially offset by discrete tax expense related to repurchase and redemption of senior notes, the effective settlement of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years and rig sales.

Discrete income Excluding the aforementioned discrete tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 was $2.2 million and was primarily attributable to the debt exchange and repurchases we undertook during the first quarter of 2017 and a settlement of a previously disclosed legal contingency. Discreteitems, income tax expense for the six-month periodperiods ended June 30, 20172019 and 2018 was $9.8$64.7 million and $54.3 million, respectively. The $10.4 million increase in income tax expense as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributabledue to the exchange offers and debt repurchases, a restructuring transaction, the effective settlement of a liability for unrecognizedincome tax benefits associated with a tax position taken in prior yearsRowan's operations from the Transaction Date and a settlement of a previously disclosed legal contingency.

U.S Tax Reform

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduced significant changes to U.S. income tax law, including a reductionan increase in the statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, aU.S. base erosion anti-abuse tax that effectively imposes a minimumrate and an increase in the relative components of our earnings generated in tax on certain paymentsjurisdictions with higher tax rates.

Recent Tax Assessments

During the second quarter of 2019, the Luxembourg tax authorities issued aggregate tax assessments totaling approximately $159 million plus interest related to non-U.S. affiliates, newtax years 2014, 2015 and revised rules relating to the current taxation2016 for several of certain incomeRowan’s Luxembourg subsidiaries. Although we are vigorously contesting these assessments, we have recorded an estimated liability for uncertain tax positions taken during these years as part of foreign subsidiaries and revised rules associated with limitations on the deduction of interest.



Due to the timing of the enactment of U.S. tax reform and the complexity involved in applying its provisions, we made reasonable estimates of its effects and recorded such amounts in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 on a provisional basis. As we continue to analyze applicable information and data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others, we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts throughout the one-year measurement period as provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. Ouracquisition accounting for the enactmentRowan Transaction, which could change materially as we complete our evaluation of U.S. tax reform willthe filing positions. See Note 3 for additional information.  Although the outcome of such assessments and related administrative proceedings cannot be completed during 2018, and any adjustments we recognizepredicted with certainty, an unfavorable outcome could be material. The ongoing impact of U.S. tax reform may result in an increase ina material adverse effect on our consolidated effective income tax rate in future periods.

Other Matters

In July 2019, we began executing a series of restructuring transactions that we plan to complete in August 2019.  In connection with this restructuring, we expect to recognize an approximate $900 million deferred tax asset for a U.S. subsidiaries.capital loss, which will be subject to a full valuation allowance because wemore-likely-than-not will be unable to realize a future benefit from such capital loss.

Brazil Internal InvestigationDSA Dispute


Pride International LLC, formerly Pride International, Inc. (“Pride”),On January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a company we acquired in 2011, commenced drilling operations in Brazil in 2001. In 2008, Pride entered into anotice to us declaring the drilling services agreement with Petrobras (the "DSA") for ENSCO DS-5, a drillship ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries, a shipyard in South Korea ("SHI"). Beginning in 2006, Pride conducted periodic compliance reviews of its business with Petrobras, and, after the acquisition of Pride, Ensco conducted similar compliance reviews.

We commenced a compliance review in early 2015 after the release of media reports regarding ongoing investigations of various kickback and bribery schemes in Brazil involving Petrobras. While conducting our compliance review, we became aware of an internal audit report by Petrobras alleging irregularities in relation to the DSA. Upon learning of the Petrobras internal audit report, our Audit Committee appointed independent counsel to lead an investigation into the alleged irregularities. Further, in June and July 2015, we voluntarily contacted the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ"), respectively, to advise them of this matter and of our Audit Committee’s investigation. Independent counsel, under the direction of our Audit Committee, has substantially completed its investigation by reviewing and analyzing available documents and correspondence and interviewing current and former employees involved in the DSA negotiations and the negotiation of the ENSCO DS-5 construction contract with SHI (the "DS-5 Construction Contract").

To date, our Audit Committee has found no credible evidence that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were aware of or involved in any wrongdoing, and our Audit Committee has found no credible evidence linking Ensco or Pride to any illegal acts committed by our former marketing consultant who provided services to Pride and Ensco in connection with the DSA. We, through independent counsel, have continued to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ, including providing detailed briefings regarding our investigation and findings and responding to inquiries as they arise. We entered into a one-year tolling agreement with the DOJ that expired in December 2016. Our tolling agreement with the SEC expired in June 2018.

Subsequent to initiating our Audit Committee investigation, Brazilian court documents connected to the prosecution of former Petrobras directors and employees as well as certain other third parties, including our former marketing consultant, referenced the alleged irregularities cited in the Petrobras internal audit report. Our former marketing consultant has entered into a plea agreement with the Brazilian authorities. On January 10, 2016, Brazilian authorities filed an indictment against a former Petrobras director. This indictment states that the former Petrobras director received bribes paid out of proceeds from a brokerage agreement entered into for purposes of intermediating a drillship construction contract between SHI and Pride, which we believe to be the DS-5 Construction Contract. The parties to the brokerage agreement were a company affiliated with a person acting on behalf of the former Petrobras director, a company affiliated with our former marketing consultant, and SHI. The indictment alleges that amounts paid by SHI under the brokerage agreement ultimately were used to pay bribes to the former Petrobras director. The


indictment does not state that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were involved in the bribery scheme or had any knowledge of the bribery scheme.

On January 4, 2016, we received a notice from Petrobras declaring the DSA void effective immediately. Petrobras’ notice alleges that our former marketing consultant both received and procured improper payments from SHI for employees of Petrobras and that Pride had knowledge of this activity and assisted in the procurement of and/or facilitated these improper payments. We disagree with Petrobras’ allegations. See "DSA Dispute" below for additional information.
In August 2017, one of our Brazilian subsidiaries was contacted by the Office of the Attorney General for the Brazilian state of Paraná in connection with a criminal investigation procedure initiated against agents of both SHI and Pride in relation to the DSA.  The Brazilian authorities requested information regarding our compliance program and the findings of our internal investigations. We cooperated with the Office of the Attorney General and provided documents in response to its request.  We cannot predict the scope or ultimate outcome of this procedure or whether any other governmental authority will open an investigation into Pride’s involvement in this matter, or if a proceeding were opened, the scope or ultimate outcome of any such investigation. If the SEC or DOJ determines that violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA") have occurred, or if any governmental authority determines that we have violated applicable anti-bribery laws, they could seek civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us, as well as changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Although our internal investigation is substantially complete, we cannot predict whether any additional allegations will be made or whether any additional facts relevant to the investigation will be uncovered during the course of the investigation and what impact those allegations and additional facts will have on the timing or conclusions of the investigation. Our Audit Committee will examine any such additional allegations and additional facts and the circumstances surrounding them.

DSA Dispute

As described above, on January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a notice to us declaring the DSA void effective immediately, reserving its rights and stating its intention to seek any restitution to which it may be entitled. We disagreeThe previously disclosed arbitral hearing on liability related to the matter was held in March 2018. Prior to the arbitration tribunal issuing its decision, we and Petrobras agreed in August 2018 to a settlement of all claims relating to the DSA. No payments were made by either party in connection with Petrobras’ declaration that the DSA is void. We believe thatsettlement agreement. The parties agreed to normalize business relations and the settlement agreement provides for our participation in current and future Petrobras repudiatedtenders on the DSA and has therefore accepted the DSAsame basis as terminated on April 8, 2016 (the "Termination Date"). Atall other companies invited to these tenders. No losses were recognized during 2018 with respect to this time, we cannot reasonably determine the validity of Petrobras' claim or the range of our potential exposure, if any. As a result, there can be no assurancesettlement as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.
We did not recognize revenue for amounts owed to us under the DSA from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 through the Termination Date, as we concluded that collectability of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, ourall disputed receivables fromwith Petrobras related to the DSA from prior to the fourth quarter of 2015 arewere fully reserved in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. In August 2016, we initiated arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against Petrobras seeking payment of all amounts owed to us under the DSA, in addition to any other amounts to which we are entitled, and intend to vigorously pursue our claims. Petrobras subsequently filed a counterclaim seeking restitution of certain sums paid under the DSA less value received by Petrobras under the DSA. The arbitral hearing on liability was held in March 2018, and we are awaiting the tribunal's decision. There can be no assurance as to how this arbitration proceeding will ultimately be resolved.2015.


In NovemberApril 2016, we initiated separate arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against SHI for anythe losses we incurincurred in connection with the foregoing Petrobras arbitration. SHI subsequently filed a statement of defense disputing our claim.arbitration and certain other losses relating to the DSA. In January 2018, the arbitration tribunal for the SHI matter issued an award on liability fully in Ensco’sour favor. The January 2018 arbitration


award provides that SHI is liable to us for $10$10.0 million or damages that we can prove. AsWe submitted our claim for damages to the losses sufferedtribunal, and the arbitral hearing on damages owed to us by SHI took place in the first quarter of 2019.

In May 2019, the arbitration tribunal for the SHI matter awarded us $180.0 million in damages. Further, we are entitled to claim interest on this award and costs incurred in connection with this matter. In June 2019, we and SHI filed separate applications with the English High Court to seek leave to appeal the damages awarded. We are awaiting the English High Court decision as to whether it will dependhear the appeal, which decision is expected in part on the outcomefourth quarter of 2019. There can be no assurance when we will collect all or any portion of the Petrobras arbitration described above, the amount of damages to be paid by SHI will be determined after the conclusion of the Petrobras arbitration.  We are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of recovery for damages at this time.awarded or any related interest or costs.




Other Matters


In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.


In the ordinary course of business with customers and others, we have entered into letters of credit to guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 20182019 totaled $125.4$135.9 million and are issued under facilities provided by various banks and other financial institutions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had not been required to make collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

In July 2019, a well being drilled offshore Indonesia by one of our jackup rigs experienced a well control event requiring the cessation of drilling activities. The operator could seek to terminate the contract under certain circumstances.  If this drilling contract were to be terminated for cause, it would result in an approximate $19.0 million decrease in our backlog as of June 30, 2019.

On July 30, 2019, we received notice that a local partner of legacy Ensco plc in the Middle East filed a lawsuit in the U.K. against the Company alleging it induced the breach of a non-compete provision in an agreement between the local partner and a subsidiary of the Company.  The lawsuit includes a claim for an unspecified amount of damages in excess of £100 million and other relief.  We believe the claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.  We do not have sufficient information at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of potential liability, if any. As a result, there can be no assurance as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.

Note 1115 -Segment Information
 
OurPrior to the Rowan Transaction, our business consistsconsisted of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includesincluded our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which consistsconsisted only of our management services provided on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups provide one service, contract drilling.segments were also reportable segments.

Segment informationAs a result of the Rowan Transaction, we concluded that we would maintain the aforementioned segment structure while adding ARO as a reportable segment for the three-monthnew combined company. We also concluded that the activities associated with our arrangements with ARO, consisting of our Transition Services Agreement, Rig Lease Agreements and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018Secondment Agreement, do not constitute reportable segments and 2017 is presented below (in millions). are therefore included within Other in the following segment disclosures. Substantially all of the expenses incurred associated with our Transition Services Agreement are included in general and administrative under "Reconciling Items" in the table set forth below.

Concentration of Risk


We are exposed to credit risk related to our receivables from customers, our cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments and our use of derivatives in connection with the management of foreign currency exchange rate risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to receivables from customers, which consist primarily of major international, government-owned and independent oil and gas companies, by performing ongoing credit evaluations. We also maintain reserves for potential credit losses, which generally have been within our expectations. We mitigate our credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by focusing on diversification and quality of instruments. Cash equivalents consist of a portfolio of high-grade instruments. Custody of cash and cash equivalents is maintained at several well-capitalized financial institutions, and we monitor the financial condition of those financial institutions.  



We mitigate our credit risk relating to derivative counterparties through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with almost all of our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events or set-off provisions.  Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.  See "NoteNote 5 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
    
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 20182019 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018 included elsewhere herein and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report and elsewhere in this quarterly report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


Our Business


We are one of thea leading providersprovider of offshore contract drilling services to the international oil and gas industry. We currently own and operate an offshore drilling rig fleet of 5879 rigs, with drilling operations in most of the strategic markets around the globe.almost every major offshore market across six continents. We also have threetwo rigs under construction. Ourconstruction and one rig marked for retirement. Inclusive of rigs under construction, our rig fleet includes 1216 drillships, nine dynamically positioned semisubmersible rigs, fourthree moored semisubmersible rigs and 3653 jackup rigs, including rigs under construction.nine of which are leased to our 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Aramco. We operate the world's largest fleet amongst competitive rigs, including one of the newest ultra-deepwater fleets in the industry and a leading premium jackup fleet.

Rowan Transaction

On October 7, 2018, we entered into a transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with Rowan Companies Limited (formerly named Rowan Companies plc) ("Rowan") and on April 11, 2019 (the "Transaction Date"), we completed our combination with Rowan pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (the "Rowan Transaction") and changed our name to Ensco Rowan plc. On July 30, 2019, we changed our name to Valaris plc. Rowan's financial results are included in our consolidated results beginning on the Transaction Date.

As a result of the Rowan Transaction, Rowan shareholders received 2.750 Valaris Class A ordinary shares for each Rowan Class A ordinary share, representing a value of $43.67 per Rowan share based on a closing price of $15.88 per Valaris share on April 10, 2019, the last trading day before the Transaction Date. Total consideration delivered in the Rowan Transaction consisted of 88.3 million Valaris shares with an aggregate value of $1.4 billion. All share and per share data included in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined herein).

Prior to the Rowan Transaction, Rowan and Saudi Aramco formed a 50/50 joint venture to own, manage and operate drilling rigs offshore Saudi Arabia ("Saudi Aramco Rowan Offshore Drilling Company" or "ARO"). ARO currently owns a fleet of seven jackup rigs, leases another nine jackup rigs from us and has plans to order up to 20 newbuild jackup rigs over the next 10 years. The rigs we lease to ARO are done so through bareboat charter agreements whereby substantially all operating costs are incurred by ARO. All nine jackup rigs leased to ARO are under three-year contracts with Saudi Aramco with two of the leased rigs currently expected to commence drilling operations in August and September 2019. All seven ARO-owned jackup rigs are under long-term contracts with Saudi Aramco.

Additionally, as a result of the Rowan Transaction, we assumed the following debt from Rowan: (1) $201.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% unsecured senior notes due 2019, (2) $620.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% unsecured senior notes due 2022, (3) $398.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% unsecured senior notes due 2024, (4) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% unsecured senior notes due 2025, (5) $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.4% unsecured senior notes due 2042 and (6) $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.85% unsecured senior notes due 2044. Upon closing of the Rowan Transaction, we terminated Rowan's outstanding credit facilities.




The Rowan Transaction is expected to enhance the market leadership of the combined company with a fleet of high-specification floaters and jackups and position us well to meet increasing and evolving customer demand. The increased scale, diversification and financial strength of the combined company will provide us advantages to better serve our customers. Exclusive of two older jackup rigs marked for retirement, Rowan’s offshore rig fleet at the Transaction Date consisted of 4 ultra-deepwater drillships and 19 jackup rigs.

Reverse Stock Split

Upon closing of the Rowan Transaction, we effected a consolidation (being a reverse stock split under English law) where every four existing Valaris Class A ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of $0.10, were consolidated into one Class A ordinary share, each with a nominal value of $0.40 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Our shares began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on April 11, 2019. All share and per share data included in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Our Industry


Oil prices have increased significantlyfrom the decade lows reached during the second half of2016, with Brent crude averaging nearly $55 per barrel in 2017 and intomore than $70 per barrel through most of 2018, leading to signs of a gradual recovery in demand for offshore drilling services. However, macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds triggered a decline in Brent crude prices in the fourth quarter of 2018, resulting in a decline in prices from more than $85 per barrel at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2018 to approximately $50 per barrel at year-end 2018. Oil prices have experienced a gradual recovery from this decline during the first half of 2018,2019 with Brent crude prices remaining above $70averaging $66 per barrel for most ofbarrel.

While market volatility may continue over the second quarter. While commodity prices have improved,near-term, we expect long-term oil prices to remain at levels sufficient to result in more offshore projects that are economic for our customers. We expect that the near-term market conditions towill remain challenging and the recovery inwhile demand for contract drilling services to becontinues its gradual recovery with different segments of the market recovering more quickly than others. In addition

We continue to a sustained increase in commodity prices, we believe further improvements in demand coupled with a reduction in rig supply are necessary to generate meaningful increases in day rates.

While industry conditions remain challenging, we have observedobserve improvements in the shallow-water market, particularly with respect to higher-specification rigs, as higher levels of customer demand and rig retirements have led to gradually increasing jackup utilization over the past year. Moreover, newglobal floater contracts and open tenders haveutilization has increased as compared to a year ago due to a higher commodity pricesnumber of contracted rigs and improved break-even economics for deepwater projects. lower global supply resulting from rig retirements. However, the floater recovery has not been within our expectations as contracts remain short-term and pricing remains depressed.

Despite the increase in customer activity, recent contract awards have beenremain subject to an extremely competitive bidding process. The intenseprocess, and the corresponding pressure on operating day rates in recent periods has resulted in low margin contracts.contracts, particularly for floaters. Therefore, we expect our results from operations tomay continue to decline in 2018over the near-term as current contracts with above market rates expire and new contracts are executed at lower rates. We believe further improvements in demand coupled with a reduction in rig supply are necessary to improve the commercial landscape for day rates.


Liquidity Position


We have historically reliedproactively manage our capital structure in a manner allowing us to most effectively execute our strategic priorities and maximize value for shareholders. In support of these objectives, we are focused on our cash flow from continuing operationsdebt levels, cost of capital and liquidity, and over the past several years have executed a number of financing transactions to meet liquidity needsimprove our financial position and fundmanage our debt maturities, including the majority of our cash requirements. We periodically rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to supplement our liquidity needs. July 2019 tender offers discussed below.

Based on our balance sheet, our contractual backlog and $2.0 billion availableavailability under our Credit Facility,credit facility, we expect to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, as well as working capital requirements, from cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, operating cash flows and, if necessary, funds borrowed under our Credit Facilitycredit facility or other future financing arrangements.arrangements, including available shipyard financing options for our two drillships under construction.


Our credit facility is an integral part of our financial flexibility and liquidity. We remain focusedalso may rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities in the future to supplement our liquidity needs. We have significant financial flexibility within our capital structure, including the ability to issue debt that would be structurally senior to our currently outstanding debt, on both an unsecured and over the past several years have executed a number of transactionssecured basis, subject to significantly improverestrictions contained in our financial position and manage ourexisting debt maturities.arrangements.
    


Cash and Debt


As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had $5.0$7.7 billion inof total debt principal outstanding, representing approximately 37.2%44.1% of our total capitalization. We also had $740.5 million in$1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and $2.0$2.3 billion of undrawn capacity under our Credit Facility.credit facility. On an as-adjusted basis, giving effect to the July 2019 tender offers discussed below, our June 30, 2019 cash and short-term investments would have totaled $353.4 million and debt principal outstanding would have totaled $6.7 billion, or 40.5% of our total capitalization.


In January 2018,Effective upon closing of the Rowan Transaction, we amended our credit facility to, among other changes, increase the borrowing capacity. Previously, our borrowing capacity was $2.0 billion through September 2019, $1.3 billion through September 2020 and $1.2 billion through September 2022. Subsequent to the amendment, our borrowing capacity is $2.3 billion through September 2019 and $1.7 billion through September 2022. The credit agreement governing the credit facility includes an accordion feature allowing us to increase future commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million.

On June 25, 2019, we commenced cash tender offers for up to $600 million aggregate purchase price, exclusive of accrued interest, for certain series of senior notes issued $1.0 billionby us and by Ensco International Incorporated and Rowan Companies, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries. On July 10, 2019, we announced the early results of the tender offers and also announced that the maximum aggregate purchase price, exclusive of accrued interest, was increased from $600 million to $724.1 million and that the early settlement date would be July 12, 2019. The tender offers expired on July 23, 2019, and we repurchased $951.8 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.75% senior notes due 2026. Net proceedsnotes.

As a result of $983.5 million from the 2026 Notes were partially usedtender offers, we expect to fund the repurchase and redemption of $237.6 million principal amount of our 8.50% senior notes due 2019, $328.0 million principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2020 and $156.2 million principal amount of our 4.70% senior notes due 2021.

Backlog


AsOur backlog was $2.4 billion and $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in our backlog was $2.3 billion as compared to $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2017. Our backlog declined primarily due to revenues realized during the year, partially offset byaddition of backlog from the Rowan Transaction and new contract awards and contract extensions. extensions, partially offset from revenues realized.

As currentabove-market rate contracts expire and revenues are realized, we will likelymay experience further declines in backlog, which willcould result in a decline in revenues and operating cash flows over the near-term. Contract backlog was adjusted for drilling contracts signed or terminated after each respective balance sheet date but prior to filing oureach annual and quarterly reportsreport on February 27, 201828, 2019 and July 26, 2018,August 1, 2019, respectively.

In July 2018, we executed a contract amendment for ENSCO DS-8, which primarily modified the scheduled cost escalations, bonus scheme and priced option, but did not change the day rate or primary term of the firm contracted period. Our operating results will not be significantly impacted as a result of the amendment.


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
 
Floaters


The floater contracting environment continues to be challengedremains challenging due to reducedlimited demand as well asand excess newbuild supply. Floater demand has declined significantly in recent years due primarily to lower commodity prices whichthat have caused our customers to reduce capital expenditures, particularly for capital-intensive, long-lead deepwater projects, resulting in the cancellation and delay of drilling programs. During the past several quarters, we have observed increased tendering activity that is translatingmay translate into marginal improvements in near-term utilization; however, further improvements in demand and/or reductions in supply will be necessary before meaningful increases in utilization and day rates are realized.

During the first quarter, we extended theexecuted a four-well contract for ENSCO DS-9 that commenced offshore Brazil in June 2019 and a six-month contract for ENSCO DS-7 that commenced offshore Egypt in April 2019. Additionally, we executed a two-well contract for ENSCO DPS-1 that is expected to commence in February 2020 and a four-well contract for ENSCO 8503 by two wells and executed one-well and two-well contracts for ENSCO 8505.that commenced in July 2019.

In April 2018, our customer terminated the contract for ENSCO 8504 due to force majure.


During the second quarter, we executed a 100-dayone-well contract for ENSCO 8503Rowan Relentless in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that contains two one-well priced options. The contract is expected to commence in November 2018 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.October 2019. We also extended theentered into short-term contract extensions for ENSCO DS-12 for approximately 45 days.and ENSCO DPS-1.

During the first quarter, we began marketing the ENSCO 5005 for sale and classified this rig as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2018. In April 2018, we sold ENSCO 7500 for scrap and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain within loss from discontinued operations, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the second


quarter, we began marketing for sale ENSCO 6001 and classified this rig as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2018. The rig was sold for scrap in July 2018, resulting in an insignificant pre-tax loss that will be recognized during the third quarter.


There are approximately 4230 newbuild drillships and semisubmersible rigs reported to be under construction, of which approximately eight10 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2018.2019. Nearly all newbuild floaters are uncontracted. Several newbuild deliveries have already been delayed into future years, and we expect that more uncontracted newbuilds will be delayed or cancelled.

Drilling contractors have retired approximately 111130 floaters since the beginning of the downturn. Approximately 2415 floaters older than 30 years of age are currently idle, approximately 1610 additional floaters older than 30 years have contracts that will expire by year-end 20182019 without follow-on work and a further 12approximately five floaters between 15 and 30 years old have been idle for more than two years. Operating costs associated with keeping these rigs idle as well as expenditures required to re-certify these aging rigs may prove cost prohibitive. Drilling contractors will likely elect to scrap or cold-stack some or all of these rigs.
Jackups


Demand for jackups has improved with increased tendering activity observed in the past several quarters off historic lows; however, day rates remain depressed due to the oversupply of rigs.
During the first quarter, we executed a seven-wellnine-well contract for ENSCO 100 that is expected to commence in November 2019. As a result, a previously disclosed contract for ENSCO 100 is expected to be fulfilled by an ENSCO 120 series rig. Additionally, we executed a three-well contract for ENSCO 121 that commenced in April 2019 and three-well and one-well contracts for ENSCO 72 and ENSCO 68, respectively, that commenced during May 2019. We also executed short-term contract extensions for ENSCO 101 and ENSCO 96.
With respect to the legacy Rowan jackups, a six-month contract extension with a two-month option was executed for Gorilla VI during the first quarter. Additionally, short-term contracts were executed for Rowan Norway, Rowan Viking and EXL II. The Rowan Viking and Rowan Norway contracts include four additional one-well priced options and two short-term option periods, respectively.

During the second quarter, we executed a two-year contract for ENSCO 120, a two-well contract for ENSCO 122, a forty-well P&A contract for ENSCO 72, a three-well extensionfive-month contract for ENSCO 107, two one-well contracts for ENSCO 102 and a one-well contract for ENSCO 101 and101. Additionally, we executed a one-welltwo-year extension for ENSCO 121. We also executed two short-term contracts109 offshore Angola, a seven-month extension for ENSCO 68.
In April 2018, we executed three-year contracts with Saudi Aramco104, a six-month extension for Rowan Gorilla V, a three-month extension for ENSCO 140, ENSCO 14196, and ENSCO 108 for drilling operations offshore Saudi Arabia. ENSCO 140 commenced drilling operations during July 2018, and we expect ENSCO 141 and ENSCO 108 to commence drilling operations during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.
Additionally, during the second quarter, we executed a ten-month contract for ENSCO 115 and short-term contracts andone-well extensions for ENSCO 75, ENSCO 87, ENSCO 121Joe Douglas and ENSCO 122. The ENSCO 115 contact is expected to commence during the first quarter of 2019.Rowan EXL II.



During the second quarter, we sold ENSCO 8197 and ENSCO 82Gorilla IV and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Additionally, we began marketing ENSCO 80 and classified this rig as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2018.2019.

There are approximately 9170 newbuild jackup rigs reported to be under construction, of which approximately 4930 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2018. All newbuild jackups2019 and only three are uncontracted.contracted. Over the past year, some jackup orders have been cancelled, and many newbuild jackups have been delayed. We expect that additional rigs may be delayed or cancelled givendue to limited contracting opportunities.


Drilling contractors have retired approximately 66100 jackups since the beginning of the downturn. Approximately 10890 jackups older than 30 years are idle and approximately 5950 jackups that are 30 years or older have contracts expiring by the end of 20182019 without follow-on work. Expenditures required to re-certify these aging rigs may prove cost prohibitive and drilling contractors may instead elect to scrap or cold-stack these rigs. We expect jackup scrapping and cold-stacking to continue during 2018 and into 2019.


In July 2019, a well being drilled offshore Indonesia by one of our jackup rigs experienced a well control event requiring the cessation of drilling activities. The operator could seek to terminate the contract under certain circumstances.  If this drilling contract were to be terminated for cause, it would result in an approximate $19.0 million decrease in our backlog as of June 30, 2019.

Divestitures


Our business strategy has been to focus on ultra-deepwater floater and premium jackup operations and deemphasizede-emphasize other assets and operations that are not part of our long-term strategic plan or that no longer meet our standards for economic returns.  Consistent with this strategy, we recently scrapped two floatersENSCO 97 and two jackup rigs. Additionally, we are currently marketing for sale ENSCO 80 and ENSCO 5005, both ofGorilla IV during the second quarter, which arewere older, less capable assets, as part of our fleet high-grading strategy.jackup rigs.




Following the Merger, weWe continue to focus on our fleet management strategy in light of the new composition of our rig fleet.fleet following the Atwood acquisition and the Rowan Transaction. As part of this strategy, we may act opportunistically from time to time to monetize assets to enhance shareholder value and improve our liquidity profile, in addition to selling or disposing of older, lower-specification or non-core rigs.

Overview 

Revenues increased $1.0$125.4 million, or 27%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to $147.1 million of revenue earned by the addition of Atwood rigs toRowan rigs. This increase was partially offset by the fleet and the commencementsale of ENSCO DS-10 drilling operations during6001 and ENSCO 80 which operated in the first quarter of 2018, offset by lower average day rates across the fleet. Forprior year period.

Revenues increased $114.3 million, or 13%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, revenues declined $53.1 million, or 6%,2019, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower average day rates across$147.1 million in second quarter revenue earned by the fleet which more than offset the increase from the addition of AtwoodRowan rigs and the commencement of drilling operations for ENSCO DS-9, ENSCO DS-10, drilling operations duringENSCO 140 and ENSCO 141. These increases were partially offset by the first quartersale of 2018.ENSCO 6001, ENSCO 80 and ENSCO 97 and fewer floater days under contract.


Contract drilling expense increased $53.0$156.0 million, or 18%45%, and $100.1$163.4 million, or 18%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior periods, primarily due to the addition of Atwood rigs to the fleet, the commencement of ENSCO DS-10 drilling operations during the first quarter of 2018 and integration-related costs.

Depreciation expense increased $12.8 million, or 12%, and $18.8 million, or 9%24%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to $133.4 million of contract drilling expense incurred by the addition of AtwoodRowan rigs to the fleet and the commencement of drilling operations for ENSCO DS-10, drilling operations.ENSCO DS-9, ENSCO 140 and ENSCO 141. This increase was partially offset by lowerthe sale of ENSCO 6001, ENSCO 97 and ENSCO 80 which operated in the prior year periods.
Depreciation expense increased $37.2 million, or 31%, and $47.0 million, or 20%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to $32.3 million of depreciation expense recognized on two non-core floatersthe Rowan rigs and one non-core jackup that were impaired to scrap during the fourth quartercommencement of 2017.ENSCO DS-9, ENSCO DS-10, ENSCO 140 and ENSCO 141 drilling operations.


General and administrative expenses declinedincreased by $4.4$55.1 million, or 14%211%, and $2.5$56.8 million, or 4%105%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, primarily due to lower Merger-relatedtransaction and integration costs and accrued performance-based compensation.associated with the Rowan Transaction.





Other expense, net,income increased $31.6$682.1 million and $677.6 million for the three-month periodand six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, primarily due to $712.8 million of estimated gain on bargain purchase recognized in connection with the Rowan Transaction, partially offset by the increase of interest expense incurred on Rowan's senior notes.

The loss on impairment recognized during the second quarter was related to the impairment of a right-of-use asset associated with a Rowan office lease that was abandoned due to the consolidation of certain corporate offices.

Loss from discontinued operations, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, as comparedprimarily relates to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher debt balances and average interest rates resulting from the debt transactions we undertook during the first quarter of 2018, lower capitalized interest due to the decline in the amount of capital invested in newbuild construction and foreign currency losses. In addition, other expense, net, for the current period included measurement period adjustments related to the Merger resulting in a reduction to the bargain purchase gain.

Other expense, net, increased $44.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher interest expense resulting from the debt transactions we undertook during the first quarter of 2018, the pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment associated with those transactions, foreign currency losses and lower interest income. These declines were partially offset by measurement period adjustments related to the Merger resulting in additional bargain purchase gain.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net, included a $7.5 million discrete tax expense related togenerated by the sale of ENSCO 7500 in Aprilduring the second quarter of 2018.

Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of days under contract by the number of days in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is earned but is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example, when a rig earns revenue while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract. For newly-constructed or acquired rigs, the number of days in the period begins upon commencement of drilling operations for rigs with a contract or when the rig becomes available for drilling operations for rigs without a contract.

For newly-constructed or acquired rigs, the number of days in the period begins upon commencement of drilling operations for rigs with a contract or when the rig becomes available for drilling operations for rigs without a contract.

Includes our two management services contracts and our nine rigs leased to ARO under bareboat charter contracts (two of which are expected to commence drilling operations during the third quarter of 2019).

(3)
Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable revenues, lump-sum revenues and revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the aggregate number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days associated with certain mobilizations, demobilizations, shipyard contracts and standby contracts.


Operating Income by Segment
 
OurPrior to the Rowan Transaction, our business consistsconsisted of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includesincluded our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which currently consistsconsisted only of our management services provided on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups provide one service, contract drilling.segments were also reportable segments.
Segment information is presented below (in millions).  As a result of the Rowan Transaction, we concluded that we would maintain the aforementioned segment structure while adding ARO as a reportable segment for the new combined company. We also concluded that the activities associated with our arrangements with ARO, consisting of our Transition Services Agreement, Rig Lease Agreements and Secondment Agreement, do not constitute reportable segments and are therefore included within Other in the following segment disclosures. Substantially all of the expenses incurred associated with our Transition Services Agreement are included in general and administrative under "Reconciling Items" in the table set forth below.


General and administrative expense and depreciation expense incurred by our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income and wereare included in "Reconciling Items." The full operating results included below for ARO (representing only results of ARO from the Transaction Date) are not included within our consolidated results and thus deducted under "Reconciling Items" and replaced with our equity in earnings of ARO. See Note 4 for additional information on ARO and related arrangements.

Floaters


Floater revenue increased $20.9$10.7 million, or 8%4%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the addition of Atwood rigs to the fleet and the commencement of ENSCO DS-10 drilling operations during the first quarter of 2018. This increase was partially offset by lower average day rates across the fleet. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, floater revenues declined $4.9 million, or 1%,2019, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to $35.4 million of revenue earned by the Rowan rigs, partially offset by the sale of ENSCO 6001 which operated in prior year period.

Floater revenue declined $15.6 million, or 3%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the sale of ENSCO 6001 and lower average day rates across our floater fleet.

Floater contract drilling expense increased $58.1$45.5 million, or 40%22%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to $46.9 million of contract drilling expense incurred by the Rowan rigs, partially offset by the sale of ENSCO 6001 which operated in the prior year period.

Floater contract drilling expense increased $42.2 million, or 11%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the $46.9 million of contract drilling expense incurred by the Rowan rigs and the commencement of ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO DS-10 drilling operations. These increases were partially offset by the sale of ENSCO 6001 and lower costs on idle rigs.

Floater depreciation expense increased $17.6 million, or 22%, and $96.8$27.1 million, or 33%17%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively,2019, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the addition of AtwoodRowan rigs to the fleet and the commencement of ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO DS-10 drilling operations during the first quarter of 2018. The increase was partially offset by costs incurred in the prior year to settle a previously disclosed legal contingency and lower contract preparation costs in the current period.operations.

ARO

ARO currently owns a fleet of seven jackup rigs, leases another nine jackup rigs from us and has plans to order up to 20 newbuild jackup rigs over the next 10 years. The rigs we lease to ARO are done so through bareboat charter agreements whereby substantially all operating costs are incurred by ARO. All nine jackup rigs leased to ARO are under three-year contracts with Saudi Aramco. Two of the leased rigs, Bess Brants and Earnest Dees, are expected to commence drilling operations during the third quarter of 2019. All seven ARO-owned jackup rigs are under long-term contracts with Saudi Aramco.

The operating revenues of ARO reflect revenues earned under drilling contracts with Saudi Aramco for the seven ARO-own jackup rigs and the seven rigs leased from us that operated during the period from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019.

The contract drilling, depreciation and general and administrative expenses are also for the period from the Transaction Date through June 30, 2019. Contract drilling expenses are inclusive of the bareboat charter fees for the rigs leased from us and costs incurred under the Secondment Agreement. General and administrative expenses include costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
EnscoValaris plc, our parent company, is domiciled and resident in the U.K. Our subsidiaries conduct operations and earn income in numerous countries and are subject to the laws of taxing jurisdictions within those countries. The income of our non-U.K. subsidiaries is generally not subject to U.K. taxation. Income tax rates imposed in the tax jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. In some cases, tax rates may be applicable to gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other bases utilized under local tax laws, rather than to net income.



Our drilling rigs frequently move from one taxing jurisdiction to another to perform contract drilling services. In some instances, the movement of our drilling rigs among taxing jurisdictions will involve the transfer of ownership of the drilling rigs among our subsidiaries. As a result of frequent changes in the taxing jurisdictions in which our drilling rigs are operated and/or owned, changes in the overall level of our income and changes in tax laws, our consolidated effective income tax rate may vary substantially from one reporting period to another.

Income tax rates and taxation systems in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary and our subsidiaries are frequently subjected to minimum taxation regimes. In some jurisdictions, tax liabilities are based on gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other factors, rather than on net income and our subsidiaries are frequently unable to realize tax benefits when they operate at a loss. Accordingly, during periods of declining profitability, our consolidated income tax expense maygenerally does not decline proportionally with consolidated income, which could resultresults in higher effective income tax rates. Further,Furthermore, we maygenerally continue to incur income tax expense in periods in which we operate at a loss.loss on a consolidated basis.


Discrete income tax benefit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $1.2 million and was primarily attributable to the resolution of prior period tax matters. Discrete income tax benefit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2.3 million and was primarily attributable to U.S. tax reform, partially offset by discrete tax expense related to rig sales and unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years. Discrete income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 was $2.2 million and was primarily attributable to the debt exchange and repurchases we undertook during the first quarter of 2017 and a settlement of a previously disclosed legal contingency. Excluding the aforementioned discrete tax items, income tax expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 was $27.0$33.8 million and $17.1$27.0 million, respectively. The $9.9$6.8 million increase in income tax expense as compared to the prior year periodquarter was primarily due to U.S.income tax reformassociated with Rowan's operations from the Transaction Date.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We have historically reliedproactively manage our capital structure in a manner allowing us to most effectively execute our strategic priorities and maximize value for shareholders. In support of these objectives, we are focused on our cash flow from continuing operationsdebt levels, cost of capital and liquidity, and over the past several years have executed a number of financing transactions to meet liquidity needsimprove our financial position and fundmanage our debt maturities, including the majority of our cash requirements. We periodically rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to supplement our liquidity needs. A substantial portion of our cash has been invested in the expansion and enhancement of our fleet of drilling rigs through newbuild construction, acquisitions and upgrade projects. We expect that cash flow generated from operations during 2018 will primarily be used to fund capital expenditures and repurchase debt.

July 2019 tender offers discussed below. Based on our balance sheet, our contractual backlog and $2.0 billion availableavailability under our Credit Facility,credit facility, we expect to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, as well as working capital requirements, from cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments,

Our credit facility is an integral part of our financial flexibility and liquidity. We remain focusedalso may rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities in the future to supplement our liquidity needs.

Previously, our borrowing capacity was $2.0 billion through September 2019, $1.3 billion through September 2020 and $1.2 billion through September 2022. Subsequent to the amendment, our borrowing capacity is $2.3 billion through September 2019 and $1.7 billion through September 2022. The credit agreement governing the credit facility includes an accordion feature allowing us to increase future commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million.
Additionally, as a result of the Rowan Transaction, we assumed the following debt from Rowan: (1) $201.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% unsecured 7.75% senior notes due 2026. Net proceeds of $983.5 million from the 2026 Notes were partially used to fund the repurchase and redemption of $237.6 million principal amount of our 8.50% senior notes due 2019, $328.0(2) $620.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875%4.875% unsecured senior notes due 2020 and $156.22022, (3) $398.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.70%4.75% unsecured senior notes due 2021.2024, (4) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% unsecured senior notes due 2025, (5) $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.4% unsecured senior notes due 2042 and (6) $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.85% unsecured senior notes due 2044.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, our primary source of cash was $1.0 billion in proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and $185.0 million in net maturities of short-term investments. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were $771.2 million for the repurchase and redemption of outstanding debt and $331.9 million for the construction, enhancement and other improvements of our drilling rigs.

Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations declined $148.5$275.4 million as compared to the prior year period due primarily to costs incurred related to the Rowan Transaction and declining margins. As challenging industry conditions persist, and our remaining above-market older contracts expire and utilization increases with the execution of new market-rate contracts, coupled with the potential impact of rig reactivation costs, our operating cash flows arewill remain negative over the near-term.



During the second quarter, we accepted the delivery of ENSCO 123, which is expected to continue to decline over the near-term.

The remaining milestone payments for ENSCO DS-13 and ENSCO DS-14 bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, which accrues during the holding period until delivery. Delivery is scheduled for September 2019 and June 2020 for ENSCO DS-13 and ENSCO DS-14, respectively. Upon delivery, the remaining milestone payments and accrued interest thereon may be financed through a promissory note with the shipyard for each rig. The promissory notes will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum with a maturity date of December 30, 2022 and will be secured by a mortgage on each respective rig. The remaining milestone payments for ENSCO DS-13 and ENSCO DS-14 are included in the table above in the period in which we expect to take delivery of the rig. However, we may elect to execute the promissory notes and defer payment until December 2022. Moreover, we are currently in discussions with the shipyard regarding a potential further deferral of delivery and certain related payments. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these discussions.

The actual timing of these expenditures may vary based on the completion of various construction milestones, which are, to a large extent, beyond our control.


Based on our current projections, excluding integration-related capital expenditures, we expect total capital expenditures during 20182019 to include approximately $360.0$160.0 million for newbuild construction, approximately $55.0 million for rig enhancement projects and approximately $60.0$65.0 million for minor upgrades and improvements.improvements and approximately $115.0 million for rig enhancement projects. Depending on market conditions and future opportunities, we may reduce our planned expenditures or make additional capital expenditures to upgrade rigs for customer requirements and construct or acquire additional rigs.


Financing and Capital Resources

Senior Notes

On January 26, 2018, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.75% senior notes due 2026 at par. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year commencing August 1, 2018.

Tender Offers and Redemption

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2026 Notes in January 2018, we launched cash tender offers for up to $985.0 million aggregate principal amount on certain series of our senior notes issued by us and Pride, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The tender offers expired February 7, 2018, and we repurchased $182.6 million of our 8.50% senior notes due 2019, $256.6 million of our 6.875% senior notes due 2020 and $156.2 million of our 4.70% senior notes due 2021. Subsequently, we issued a redemption notice for the remaining outstanding $55.0 million principal amount of the 8.50% senior notes due 2019 and repurchased $71.4 million principal amount of our senior notes due 2020.



The following table sets forth the total principal amounts repurchased as a result of the tender offers, redemption and repurchase (in millions):

Revolving Credit Facility


We have a $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolvingEffective upon closing of the Rowan Transaction, we amended our credit facility with a syndicate of banks to, be used for general corporate purposes. Ouramong other changes, increase the borrowing capacity. Previously, our borrowing capacity iswas $2.0 billion through September 2019, and declines to $1.3 billion through September 2020 and $1.2 billion through September 2022. Subsequent to $1.2the amendment, our borrowing capacity is $2.3 billion through September 2019 and $1.7 billion through September 2022. The credit agreement governing the Credit Facilitycredit facility includes an accordion feature allowing us to increase thefuture commitments expiring in September 2022 up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion.$250.0 million.


Advances under the Credit Facilitycredit facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate, depending on our credit ratings. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the $2.0 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating.

In January 2018, Moody's downgraded our senior unsecured bond credit rating from B2 to B3. The rating actions resulted in an increase to the interest rates applicable to our borrowings and the quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the $2.0 billion commitment. The applicable margin rates are 3.00% per annum for Base Rate advances and 4.00% per annum for LIBOR advances. The quarterly commitment fee is 0.75% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.0 billion commitment.




The Credit Facilitycredit facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60% and to provide guarantees from certain of our rig-owning subsidiaries sufficient to meet certain guarantee coverage ratios. The Credit Facilitycredit facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens (subject to customary exceptions, including a permitted lien basket that permits us to raise secured debt up to the lesser of $750 million$1 billion or 10% of consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the Credit Facility)credit facility)); entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; repurchasing our ordinary shares or paying or distributing dividends on our ordinary shares (subject to certain exceptions, including the ability to continue payingpay a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share); borrowings, if after giving effect to such borrowings and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of available cash (as defined in the Credit Facility)credit facility) would exceed $150$200 million; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates.


The Credit Facilitycredit facility also includes a covenant restricting our ability to repay indebtedness maturing after September 2022, which is the final maturity date of the Credit Facility.credit facility. This covenant is subject to certain exceptions that permit us to manage our balance sheet, including the ability to make repayments of indebtedness (i) of acquired companies within 90 days of the completion of the acquisition or (ii) if, after giving effect to such repayments, available cash is greater than $250$250.0 million and there are no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.credit facility. The July 2019 tender offers discussed above were in compliance with these covenants.


As of June 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility.credit facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilitycredit facility as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. On July 29, 2019, we borrowed $125.0 million under our credit facility to partially fund the maturity of our 7.875% senior notes due in August 2019.


As discussed above, the credit facility contains restrictions on paying dividends, repurchasing shares and issuing other indebtedness.  The Company’s decisions around capital allocation matters could, in addition to the shareholder proposal previously disclosed regarding our capital allocation policies, give rise to objections by one or more shareholders and/or result in shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, any of which could cause us to incur significant costs, result in management distraction and negatively impact our business.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt, and we do notno longer maintain an investment-grade status. Our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, could limit our available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing our debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants, which may further restrict our operations.



Other Financing


We filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC on November 21, 2017, which provides us the ability to issue debt securities, equity securities, guarantees and/or units of securities in one or more offerings. The registration statement expires in November 2020.


OurDuring 2018, our shareholders approved a newour current share repurchase program at our annual shareholder meeting held in May 2018.program. Subject to certain provisions under English law, including the requirement of Ensco plcthe Company to have sufficient distributable reserves, we may repurchase shares up to a maximum of $500.0 million in the aggregate from one or more financial intermediaries under the program, but in no case more than 65.016.3 million shares. The program terminates in May 2023. As of June 30, 2019, there had been no share repurchases under this program. Our priorcredit facility prohibits us from repurchasing our shares, except in certain limited circumstances. Any share repurchase program approved by our shareholders in 2013, under which we could repurchase up to a maximumrepurchases, outside of $2.0 billion insuch limited circumstances, would require the aggregate, not to exceed 35.0 million shares, terminated in May 2018.amendment or waiver of such provision.


From time to time, we and our affiliates may repurchase or refinance our outstanding senior notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or we may redeem senior notes, that are able to be redeemed, pursuant to their terms. In connection with any exchange or refinancing transaction, we may issue equity, issue new debt (including debt that is structurally senior to our existing senior notes) and/or pay cash consideration. Any future repurchases, exchanges, redemptions or redemptionsrefinancings will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) we may choose to pursue in the future. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for our outstanding senior notes following any such transactions.



Other Commitments


As of June 30, 2018,2019, we were contingently liable for an aggregate amount of $125.4$135.9 million under outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds which guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had not been required to make any collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.


In connection with our 50/50 joint venture with ARO, in the event ARO has insufficient cash from operations or is unable to obtain third-party financing, each partner may periodically be required to make additional capital contributions to ARO, up to a maximum aggregate contribution of $1.25 billion to fund the newbuild program. Each partner's commitment shall be reduced by the actual cost of each newbuild rig, on a proportionate basis. See Note 3 for additional information on the Rowan Transaction and Note 4 for additional information on our joint venture with ARO.

On July 29, 2019, we borrowed $125.0 million under our credit facility to partially fund the maturity of our 7.875% senior notes due in August 2019.

Recent Tax Assessments

During the second quarter of 2019, we received income tax assessments totaling approximately $159 million and $69 million from taxing authorities in Luxembourg and Australia, respectively.  See Note 12 for additional capital or increase liquidity as necessary.information.  During the second half of 2019, we expect to make partial upfront payments to the respective tax authorities in order to litigate the underlying matters and partially mitigate potential interest on any ultimate assessment outcomes. Although the timing and amount of such upfront payments cannot be predicted with certainty, such payments could be material.
MARKET RISK
 
We use derivatives to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We maintain a foreign currency exchange rate risk management strategy that utilizes derivatives to reduce our exposure to unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  


We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk on future expected contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various foreign currencies. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $212.1$177.5 million for various foreign currencies.


We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various strategies to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities, thereby reducing exposure to earnings fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $153.2$104.2 million for various foreign currencies.




If we were to incur a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, net unrealized losses associated with our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities as of June 30, 20182019 would approximate $17.9$20.1 million. Approximately $13.0$4.0 million of these unrealized losses would be offset by corresponding gains on the derivatives utilized to offset changes in the fair value of net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

We utilize derivatives and undertake foreign currency exchange rate hedging activities in accordance with our established policies for the management of market risk. We mitigate our credit risk related to derivative counterparties through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into ISDA Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with almost all of our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events or set-off


provisions. Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.


We do not enter into derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. We believe that our use of derivatives and related hedging activities reduces our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and does not expose us to material credit risk or any other material market risk. All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Information"7 for additional information on our derivative instruments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018.28, 2019. These policies, along with our underlying judgments and assumptions made in their application, have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


We identify our critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of our financial position and operating results and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by managementus regarding estimates in matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are those related to property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and income taxes.pension and other post-retirement benefits. For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018, in addition to our critical accounting policy related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits as set forth below.


As a result of the Rowan Transaction, we assumed the pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations of Rowan. We have identified our accounting policies associated with those obligations as critical accounting policies, as set forth below.
Our pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities and costs are based upon actuarial computations that reflect our assumptions about future events, including long-term asset returns, interest rates, annual compensation increases, mortality rates and other factors and were remeasured as of the Transaction Date. Key assumptions included (i) a weighted-average discount rate of 3.82% to determine pension benefit obligations, (ii) a weighted average discount rate of 4.35% to determine net periodic pension cost and (iii) an expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets of 6.70%. The assumed discount rate is based upon the average yield for Moody’s Aa-rated corporate bonds, and the rate of return assumption reflects a probability distribution of expected long-term returns that is weighted based upon plan asset allocations. A one-percentage-point decrease in the assumed discount rate would increase our recorded pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities by approximately $99.4 million, while a one-percentage-point decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would increase annual net benefits cost by approximately $5.6 million. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, we considered the current level of expected returns on risk-free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the plans’ other asset classes, and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based upon the current asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the plan, which was 6.70%.

We are currently integrating Rowan into our operations and internal control processes and, pursuant to the SEC’s guidance that a recently acquired business may be excluded from the scope of an assessment of internal control over financial reporting in the year of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2019 will exclude Rowan to the extent not integrated into our control environment.







PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
  
Brazil Internal InvestigationDSA Dispute


Pride International LLC, formerly Pride International, Inc.,On January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a company we acquired in 2011, commenced drilling operations in Brazil in 2001. In 2008, Pride entered into anotice to us declaring the drilling services agreement with Petrobras (the "DSA") for ENSCO DS-5, a drillship ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries, a shipyard in South Korea ("SHI"). Beginning in 2006, Pride conducted periodic compliance reviews of its business with Petrobras, and, after the acquisition of Pride, Ensco conducted similar compliance reviews.

We commenced a compliance review in early 2015 after the release of media reports regarding ongoing investigations of various kickback and bribery schemes in Brazil involving Petrobras. While conducting our compliance review, we became aware of an internal audit report by Petrobras alleging irregularities in relation to the DSA. Upon learning of the Petrobras internal audit report, our Audit Committee appointed independent counsel to lead an investigation into the alleged irregularities. Further, in June and July 2015, we voluntarily contacted the SEC and the DOJ, respectively, to advise them of this matter and of our Audit Committee’s investigation. Independent counsel, under the direction of our Audit Committee, has substantially completed its investigation by reviewing and analyzing available documents and correspondence and interviewing current and former employees involved in the DSA negotiations and the negotiation of the ENSCO DS-5 construction contract with SHI (the "DS-5 Construction Contract").

To date, our Audit Committee has found no credible evidence that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were aware of or involved in any wrongdoing, and our Audit Committee has found no credible evidence linking Ensco or Pride to any illegal acts committed by our former marketing consultant who provided services to Pride and Ensco in connection with the DSA. We, through independent counsel, have continued to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ, including providing detailed briefings regarding our investigation and findings and responding to inquiries as they arise. We entered into a one-year tolling agreement with the DOJ that expired in December 2016. Our tolling agreement with the SEC expired in June 2018.

Subsequent to initiating our Audit Committee investigation, Brazilian court documents connected to the prosecution of former Petrobras directors and employees as well as certain other third parties, including our former marketing consultant, referenced the alleged irregularities cited in the Petrobras internal audit report. Our former marketing consultant has entered into a plea agreement with the Brazilian authorities. On January 10, 2016, Brazilian authorities filed an indictment against a former Petrobras director. This indictment states that the former Petrobras director received bribes paid out of proceeds from a brokerage agreement entered into for purposes of intermediating a drillship construction contract between SHI and Pride, which we believe to be the DS-5 Construction Contract. The parties to the brokerage agreement were a company affiliated with a person acting on behalf of the former Petrobras director, a company affiliated with our former marketing consultant, and SHI. The indictment alleges that amounts paid by SHI under the brokerage agreement ultimately were used to pay bribes to the former Petrobras director. The indictment does not state that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were involved in the bribery scheme or had any knowledge of the bribery scheme.

On January 4, 2016, we received a notice from Petrobras declaring the DSA void effective immediately. Petrobras’ notice alleges that our former marketing consultant both received and procured improper payments from SHI for employees of Petrobras and that Pride had knowledge of this activity and assisted in the procurement of and/or facilitated these improper payments. We disagree with Petrobras’ allegations. See "DSA Dispute" below for additional information.
In August 2017, one of our Brazilian subsidiaries was contacted by the Office of the Attorney General for the Brazilian state of Paraná in connection with a criminal investigation procedure initiated against agents of both SHI


and Pride in relation to the DSA.  The Brazilian authorities requested information regarding our compliance program and the findings of our internal investigations. We cooperated with the Office of the Attorney General and provided documents in response to its request.  We cannot predict the scope or ultimate outcome of this procedure or whether any other governmental authority will open an investigation into Pride’s involvement in this matter, or if a proceeding were opened, the scope or ultimate outcome of any such investigation. If the SEC or DOJ determines that violations of the FCPA have occurred, or if any governmental authority determines that we have violated applicable anti-bribery laws, they could seek civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us, as well as changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customers, business partners and other stakeholders could seek to take actions adverse to our interests. Further, investigating and resolving such allegations is expensive and could consume significant management time and attention. Although our internal investigation is substantially complete, we cannot predict whether any additional allegations will be made or whether any additional facts relevant to the investigation will be uncovered during the course of the investigation and what impact those allegations and additional facts will have on the timing or conclusions of the investigation. Our Audit Committee will examine any such additional allegations and additional facts and the circumstances surrounding them.
DSA Dispute

As described above, on January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a notice to us declaring the DSA, void effective immediately, reserving its rights and stating its intention to seek any restitution to which it may be entitled. We disagreeThe previously disclosed arbitral hearing on liability related to the matter was held in March 2018. Prior to the arbitration tribunal issuing its decision, we and Petrobras agreed in August 2018 to a settlement of all claims relating to the DSA. No payments were made by either party in connection with Petrobras’ declaration that the DSA is void. We believe thatsettlement agreement. The parties agreed to normalize business relations and the settlement agreement provides for our participation in current and future Petrobras repudiatedtenders on the DSA and has therefore accepted the DSAsame basis as terminated on April 8, 2016. Atall other companies invited to these tenders. No losses were recognized during 2018 with respect to this time, we cannot reasonably determine the validity of Petrobras' claim or the range of our potential exposure, if any. As a result, there can be no assurancesettlement as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.

We did not recognize revenue for amounts owed to us under the DSA from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 through the Termination Date as we concluded that collectability of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, ourall disputed receivables fromwith Petrobras related to the DSA from prior to the fourth quarter of 2015 arewere fully reserved in 2015.  See Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as ofquarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. In August 2016, we initiated arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against Petrobras seeking payment of all amounts owed to us under2018 for further information about the DSA in addition to any other amounts to which we are entitled, and intend to vigorously pursue our claims. Petrobras subsequently filed a counterclaim seeking restitution of certain sums paid under the DSA less value received by Petrobras under the DSA. The arbitral hearing on liability was held in March 2018, and we are awaiting the tribunal's decision. There can be no assurance as to how this arbitration proceeding will ultimately be resolved.dispute.


In NovemberApril 2016, we initiated separate arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against SHI for anythe losses we incurincurred in connection with the foregoing Petrobras arbitration. SHI subsequently filed a statement of defense disputing our claim.arbitration and certain other losses relating to the DSA. In January 2018, the arbitration tribunal for the SHI matter issued an award on liability fully in Ensco’sour favor. The January 2018 arbitration award provides that SHI is liable to us for $10$10.0 million or damages that we can prove. AsWe submitted our claim for damages to the losses sufferedtribunal, and the arbitral hearing on damages owed to us by SHI took place in the first quarter of 2019.

In May 2019, the arbitration tribunal for the SHI matter awarded us $180.0 million in damages. Further, we are entitled to claim interest on this award and costs incurred in connection with this matter. In June 2019, we and SHI filed separate applications with the English High Court to seek leave to appeal the damages awarded. We are awaiting the English High Court decision as to whether it will dependhear the appeal, which decision is expected in part on the outcomefourth quarter of 2019. There can be no assurance when we will collect all or any portion of the Petrobras arbitration described above, the amount of damages to be paid by SHI will be determined after the conclusion of the Petrobras arbitration.  We are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of recovery for damages at this time.awarded or any related interest or costs.




Pride FCPA Investigation


During 2010, Pride and its subsidiaries resolved their previously disclosed investigations into potential violations of the FCPA with the DOJ and SEC. The settlement with the DOJ included a deferred prosecution agreement (the "DPA") between Pride and the DOJ and a guilty plea by Pride Forasol S.A.S., one of Pride’s subsidiaries, to FCPA-related charges. During 2012, the DOJ moved to (i) dismiss the charges against Pride and end the DPA one year prior to its scheduled expiration; and (ii) terminate the unsupervised probation of Pride Forasol S.A.S. The Court granted the motions.


Pride has received preliminary inquiries from governmental authorities of certain countries referenced in its settlements with the DOJ and SEC. We could face additional fines, sanctions and other penalties from authorities in these and other relevant jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in or curtailment of business operations in certain jurisdictions and the seizure of rigs or other assets. At this stage of such inquiries, we are unable to determine what, if any, legal liability may result. Our customers in certain jurisdictions could seek to impose penalties or take other actions adverse to our business. We could also face other third-party claims by directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents, stockholders, debt holders or other stakeholders. In addition, disclosure of the subject matter of the investigations and settlements could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to obtain new business or retain existing business, to attract and retain employees and to access the capital markets.



We cannot currently predict what, if any, actions may be taken by any other applicable government or other authorities or our customers or other third parties or the effect any such actions may have on our financial position, operating results and cash flows.


Environmental Matters
 
We are currently subject to pending notices of assessment relating to spills of drilling fluids, oil, brine, chemicals, grease or fuel from drilling rigs operating offshore Brazil from 2008 to 2017, pursuant to which the governmental authorities have assessed, or are anticipated to assess, fines. We have contested these notices and appealed certain adverse decisions and are awaiting decisions in these cases. Although we do not expect final disposition of these assessments to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results and cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these assessments. A $180,000$150,000 liability related to these matters was included in accrued liabilities and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018.2019.
 
We currently are subject to a pending administrative proceeding initiated during 2009 by a Spanish government authority seeking payment in an aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 million, for an alleged environmental spill originating from ENSCO 5006 while it was operating offshore Spain. Our customer has posted guarantees with the Spanish government to cover potential penalties. Additionally, we expect to be indemnified for any payments resulting from this incident by our customer under the terms of the drilling contract. A criminal investigation of the incident was initiated during 2010 by a prosecutor in Tarragona, Spain, and the administrative proceedings have been suspended pending the outcome of this investigation. In May 2019, we were informed that the criminal investigation has been completed. We dohave not know at this time what,received any indication from the Spanish government if any, involvement we may have in this investigation.or when the administrative proceedings will resume.
 
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the administrative proceeding and any criminal investigation.proceeding. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the extent to which we may be exposed to any resulting liability. Although we do not expect final disposition of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results and cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the proceedings.




Other Matters


In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
