Overview
We are an offshore drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry. Our primary business is the ownership and operation of drillships, semi-submersible rigs andjack-up rigs for operations in shallow to ultra-deepwater areas in both benign and harsh environments. We contract our drilling units to drill wells for our customers on a dayrate basis. Typically, our customers are oil super-majors and major integrated oil and gas companies, state-owned national oil companies and independent oil and gas companies.
Through a number of acquisitions of companies, second-hand units and newbuildings, we have developed into one of the world’s largest international offshore drilling contractors. We own and operate 35 drilling rigs and we manage and operate 18 rigs on behalf of Seadrill Partners, SeaMex and Northern Drilling.
Significant Developments
Receipt of overdue receivable
In January 2019, we received $26 million for the final settlement of an overdue receivable which was fully provided in the Predecessor company. This receivable was not recognized as an asset as part of fresh start accounting, and has been recognized as other operating income in our first quarter 2019 results.
Sonadrill joint venture
In February 2019, we entered into an agreement to establish a 50:50 joint venture with Sonangol called Sonadrill. The joint venture will operate four drillships, focusing on opportunities in Angolan waters. Each of the joint venture parties will bareboat two drillships into Sonadrill and we will manage and operate all the units. Seadrill will also manage the delivery and mobilization to Angolan waters of the two Sonangol drillships, from the shipyard in Korea, under a separate commissioning and mobilization agreement with Sonangol.

Tender offer of New Secured Notes
In March 2019 we launched a consent solicitation process to amend the Senior Secured Notes indenture which included a $341 million subsequent tender offer to purchase $311 million of principal amount outstanding. As a result of this process the $311 million being purchased was reclassified as a current liability at March 31, 2019 and, following completion of the offer in April 2019, were-purchased $311 million of New Secured Notes at a price of 107.
Dalian Newbuilds
The Newbuild contracts for the remaining twojack-up rigs from the Dalian shipyard, theWest Dione and West Mimas, were terminated in February 2019 and April 2019, respectively.
The Seadrill contracting parties have commenced arbitration proceedings in respect of the eight newbuildjack-up rigs previously contracted to be delivered from the Dalian shipyard and are claiming for repayment of yard installments plus interest and damages. Seadrill has filed claims for these amounts as part of the Dalian insolvency proceedings in China. Dalian has maintained it has a damages claim in respect of each of the rigs. The newbuild contracts are all with limited liability subsidiaries of Seadrill and there are no parent company guarantees.
Contract Backlog
We define contract backlog as the maximum contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period, excluding revenues for mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation or other incentive provisions.
The contract backlog for our fleet was as follows as at the dates specified:
(In $ millions) | ||||||||
Contract backlog | May 23, 2019 | February 28, 2019 | ||||||
Floaters | 461 | 565 | ||||||
Jack-ups | 1,441 | 1,362 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Total | 1,902 | 1,927 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
Our contract backlog includes only firm commitments represented by signed drilling contracts. The full contractual operating dayrate may differ to the actual dayrate we ultimately receive. For example, an alternative contractual dayrate, such as awaiting-on-weather rate, repair rate, standby rate or force majeure rate, may apply under certain circumstances. The contractual operating dayrate may also differ to the actual dayrate we ultimately receive because of several other factors, including rig downtime or suspension of operations. In certain contracts, the dayrate may be reduced to zero if, for example, repairs extend beyond a stated period.
We project our May 23, 2019 contract backlog to unwind over the following periods:
(In $ millions) | Period ended December 31, | |||||||||||||||||||
Contract backlog | Total | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022+ | |||||||||||||||

|
The actual amounts of revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned will differ from the amounts and periods shown in the tables above due to various factors, including shipyard and maintenance projects, unplanned downtime and other factors that result in lower applicable dayrates than the full contractual operating dayrate. Additional factors that could affect the amount and timing of actual revenue to be recognized include customer liquidity issues and contract terminations, which are available to our customers under certain circumstances.

Market Overview and Trends
The below table shows the average oil price for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for each year ended December 31 over the period 2015 to 2018. The Brent oil price at April 30, 2019 was $73.
Dec-2015 | Dec-2016 | Dec-2017 | Dec-2018 | Mar-2019 | ||||||||||||||||
Average Brent oil price ($/bbl) | 54 | 45 | 55 | 71 | 64 |
We have seen a stabilization in the oil and gas market in 2019 with Brent oil prices remaining above $60 per barrel for most of the period. When combined with efficiencies across the industry, this has led to continued improved economics for our customers, which has in turn led to increased tendering activity and a positive trend in dayrates. We expect these trends to continue as our customers continue to increase their levels of investment.
The below table shows the global number of rigs on contract and marketed utilization at March 31, 2019 and for each of the four preceding years ending December 31.

Floater
The net floater supply has continued to decline globally as the number of scrapped rigs continue to outweigh newbuild rigs entering the market. The net attrition has positively impacted the recovery in the floater market as total and marketed supply start to align. There is high demand for high specification harsh environment units relative to their supply, which has led to increased dayrates and higher utilization within this segment. There is still an excess supply of benign environment units which has delayed the recovery in that market.
Whilst we expect further newbuild rigs to enter the market in 2020 and beyond, there remains a number of older units with nofollow-on work identified which will be prime scrapping candidates, as35-year classing expenditures can be costly and will only be completed if the future contract economics satisfy the cost. Instead, many rig owners will choose to retire a unit rather than incur the cost without a visible near-term recovery in demand. Larger drilling companies with diversified fleets will find it easier to make economic decisions and cold stack idle rigs as each individual unit represents a smaller percentage of the overall fleet. Cold stacked units will generally require a sufficient improvement in dayrates to overcome reactivation costs before they are reintroduced into marketed supply.
Jack-up
We have seen an improvement in shallow water markets and this has led to an increase in the number of contractedjack-ups. The increase in demand and dayrates have seen newbuild rigs begin to enter the market. As newer rigs with high specifications enter thejack-up market, this will lead to the accelerated attrition of older units. The shorter-term contract profile in this market lends itself to higher rig turnover. As these contracts start to lengthen, we expect rig turnover to normalize, which will positively aid thejack-up market recoverability.
Results of Operations
The tables included below set out financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor) and March 31, 2018 (Predecessor). The three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are distinct reporting periods because of the application of fresh start accounting upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 2, 2018. These periods may not be comparable to each other.

1) Operating revenues
Operating revenues consist of contract revenues, reimbursable revenues and other revenues. We have analyzed operating revenues between these categories in the table below:
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(In $ millions) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Contract revenues | 255 | 308 | ||||||

Other revenues | 21 | 44 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Total operating revenues | 302 | 364 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
a) Contract revenues
Contract revenues represent the revenues that we earn from contracting our drilling units to customers, primarily on a dayrate basis. We have analyzed contract revenues by segment in the table below.
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(In $ millions) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Floaters | 174 | 210 | ||||||
Jack-ups | 81 | 98 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Contract revenues | 255 | 308 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
Contract revenues are primarily driven by the average number of rigs under contract during a period, the average dayrates earned and economic utilization achieved by those rigs under contract. We have set out movements in these key indicators of performance in the sections below.
i.Average number of rigs on contract
We calculate the average number of rigs on contract by dividing the aggregate days our rigs were on contract during the reporting period by the number of days in that reporting period. The average number of rigs on contract for the periods covered is set out in the below table:
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(Number) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Floaters | 8 | 8 | ||||||
Jack-ups | 8 | 8 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Average number of rigs on contract | 16 | 16 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
The average number of floaters on contract was the same for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018. Were-activated theWest Herculesfor a new contract in the North Sea in April 2018 and theSevan Louisiana started work on a new contract in November 2018. This was offset by theWest Eclipse andSevan Brasil completing contracts in June 2018 and July 2018.

Table of Contents
The average number ofjack-ups on contract was the same for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018. TheWest Telesto andWest Tucana started new contracts in April 2018 and October 2018. This was offset by theWest Ariel andWest Castor completing contracts in March 2018 and May 2018, respectively.
ii. Average contractual dayrates
We calculate the average contractual dayrate by dividing the aggregate contractual dayrates during a reporting period by the aggregate number of rig operating days for the reporting period. We have set out the average contractual dayrates for the periods presented in the below table:
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(In $ thousands) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Floaters | 224 | 297 | ||||||
Jack-ups | 108 | 136 |
The average contractual dayrate for floaters decreased by $73k per day between the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 due to theWest CarinaandWest Eclipsecompleting legacycontracts for Petronas and ExxonMobil in July 2018. The West Carinasecured a new contract with Petronas in December 2018 at a lower dayrate.
The average contractual dayrate forjack-ups decreased by $28k per day between the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 due to theWest Linus moving to a lower dayrate as part of securing a long-term contract with ConocoPhillips, theWest Ariel andWest Castor completing legacy contracts and theWest Callisto moving to a lower dayrate.
iii. Economic utilization for rigs on contract
We define economic utilization as dayrate revenue earned during the period, excluding bonuses, divided by the contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days on contract in the period. If a drilling unit earns its full operating dayrate throughout a reporting period, its economic utilization would be 100%. However, there are many situations that give rise to a dayrate being earned that is less than the contractual operating rate. In such situations economic utilization reduces below 100%.
As set out in the below table, economic utilization has remained in the range of 90% to 97% for each of the periods presented.
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(Percentage) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Floaters | 91 | % | 90 | % | ||||
Jack-ups | 97 | % | 97 | % |
The economic utilization for floaters for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 91%. This was primarily due to operational downtime on theSevan Louisianarelated to a malfunction of its subsea equipment.
b) Reimbursable revenues
We generally receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel and other services provided at their request in accordance with a drilling contract. We classify such revenues as reimbursable revenues.
Reimbursable revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included revenue of $17 million for a contract to perform the first mobilization of theWest Mira for Northern Drilling.
c) Other revenues
Other revenues include the following:

i. Related party revenues
Related party revenues represent income from management and technical support services provided to Seadrill Partners, SeaMex and Northern Drilling.
ii. Amortization of unfavorable contracts
We recognize an intangible asset or liability if we acquire a drilling contract in a business combination and the contract had a dayrate that was above or below market rates at the time of the business combination. For the periods before emergence from Chapter 11 we classified the amortization of these intangible assets or liabilities within other revenues. Post-emergence and after the application of fresh start accounting, we have applied a new accounting policy which classifies amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities within operating expenses.
iii. Other
Other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included early termination fee revenue for theWest Pegasus.
2) Operating expenses
Total operating expenses include vessel and rig operating expenses, amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts, reimbursable expenses, depreciation of drilling units and equipment, and general and administrative expenses. We have analyzed operating expenses between these categories in the table below:
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(In $ millions) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Vessel and rig operating expenses | (199 | ) | (183 | ) | ||||

|
|
|
| |||||
Total operating expenses | (399 | ) | (442 | ) | ||||
|

|
|
i.Vessel and rig operating expenses
Vessel and rig operating expenses represent the costs we incur to operate a drilling unit that is either in operation or stacked. This includes the remuneration of offshore crews, rig supplies, expenses for repair and maintenance and onshore support costs.
For periods prior to emergence from Chapter 11 we classified certain operational support and information technology related costs incurred by our support functions within general and administrative expenses. As part of fresh start accounting and for periods after emergence we classified these costs within vessel and rig operating expenses. Vessel and rig operating expenses for the 2018 Predecessor and 2019 Successor periods are therefore not comparable.
We have analyzed vessel and rig operating expenses by segment in the table below.
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||

|
|
|
| |||||
Vessel and rig operating expenses | (199 | ) | (183 | ) | ||||
|
|
|
|
Vessel and rig operating expenses are mainly driven by rig activity. On average, we incur higher vessel and rig operating expenses when a rig is operating compared to when it is stacked. For stacked rigs we incur higher vessel and rig expenses for warm stacked rigs compared to cold stacked rigs. We incurone-time costs for activities such as preservation and severance when we cold stack a rig. We also incur significant costs whenre-activating a rig from cold stack, a proportion of which is expensed as incurred.
Vessel and rig operating expenses allocated to the “Other” segment represent rig related onshore costs incurred in connection with our contracts to provide technical support services to Seadrill Partners, Seamex and Northern Drilling.

The number of cold stacked floaters decreased by one and the warm stacked floaters increased by one between the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. The decrease in cold stacked floaters was due to theWest Hercules andSevan Louisiana which were reactivated in April 2018 and November 2018 respectively. This was offset by theSevan Brasil which was cold stacked in January 2019.
The number of cold stackedjack-ups increased by one and the warm stackedjack-ups decreased by one between the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. We cold stacked theWest Freedom andWest Ariel in July 2018 andre-activated theWest Tucana for a new contract in October 2018.
ii. Depreciation of drilling units and equipment
We record depreciation expense to reduce the carrying value of drilling unit and equipment balances to their residual value over their expected remaining useful economic lives. We reduced the carrying value of drilling unit and equipment balances to their fair values when we applied fresh start accounting on emergence from Chapter 11. The depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is therefore based on lower carrying values of drilling units and equipment and is not comparable to the level of depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
iii. Amortization of intangibles
For periods before emergence from Chapter 11 we recognized intangible assets or liabilities only where we acquired a drilling contract in a business combination. The accounting policy we applied in the Predecessor was to classify amortization for such contracts within other revenues. On emergence from Chapter 11 and application of fresh start accounting, we recognized intangible assets and liabilities for favorable and unfavorable drilling contracts at fair value. We amortize these assets and liabilities over the remaining contract period and classify the amortization under operating expenses.
iv. General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses include the cost of our corporate and regional offices, certain legal and professional fees as well as the remuneration and other compensation of our officers, directors and employees engaged in central management and administration activities. Legal and professional fees incurred for our Chapter 11 reorganization post-petition were classified under reorganization items. As discussed above, we changed the classification of certain support function costs for periods after emergence. General and administrative expenses are therefore not comparable to between the Successor and Predecessor periods.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were $31 million and $51 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 this includes $8 million (2018: $13 million) related to rigs we manage for our partners, which is charged out on a cost plus basis.
3) Other operating items
Other operating items for the three months ended March 31, 2019 represents cash received for the recovery of a receivable balance previously written down to nil on fresh start.
Other operating items for the three months ended March 31, 2018 represents amounts recognized for contingent consideration from the sales of theWest Vela andWest Polaris to Seadrill Partners in 2014 and 2015. On emergence from Chapter 11 we recognized receivables equal to the fair value of expected future cash flows under these arrangements and have therefore not recognized further income in the Successor periods.

4) Interest expense
We have analyzed interest expense into the following components:

i.Cash andpayment-in-kind interest on debt facilities
We incur cash andpayment-in-kind interest on our debt facilities. This is summarized in the table below.

We are charged interest on our senior credit facilities at LIBOR plus a margin. This margin increased by one percentage point when we emerged from Chapter 11. There has also been an increase in LIBOR rates. Both factors increased the effective interest rate on our senior credit facilities.
During Chapter 11, we recorded contractual interest payments against debt held as subject to compromise (“adequate protection payments”) as a reduction to debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and not as an expense to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We then expensed the adequate protection payments on emergence from Chapter 11 on July 2, 2018.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had $769 million of principal outstanding of the New Secured Notes that we issued on emergence from Chapter 11. We incur 4% cash interest and 8%payment-in-kind interest on these notes.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheet includes approximately $1 billion of debt facilities held by subsidiaries of Ship Finance that we consolidate as variable interest entities. Our interest expense includes the interest incurred by these entities.
ii. Unwind of discount on debt
On emergence from Chapter 11 and application of fresh start accounting, we recorded a discount against our debt to reduce its carrying value to equal its fair value. The debt discount is unwound over the remaining terms of the debt facilities.
iii. Loan fee amortization
We amortize loan issuance costs over the expected term of the associated debt facility.

i. Interest Income
Interest income relates to interest earned on cash deposits and other financial assets. During the period we were in Chapter 11 (September 12, 2017 to July 1, 2018), we classified interest income on cash held by filed entities within reorganization items. This totaled $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
ii. Share in results from associated companies
Share in results from associated companies represents our share of earnings or losses in our investments accounted under the equity method. We reduced the carrying value of our equity method investments when we applied fresh start accounting on emergence from Chapter 11. This led to differences between (i) the book value of rig and contract asset balances recorded in the balance sheets of our equity method investees and (ii) the implied value of these assets in our consolidated balance sheet. We refer to these differences as “basis differences”. We amortize basis differences over the expected lives of the associated assets or liabilities. We classify this amortization within when the “share in results of associated companies” line item in our statement of operations. Therefore, the share in results from associated companies for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is not comparable to the share in results from associated companies for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
We have analyzed our share of results in associated companies by equity method investment below:
Successor | Predecessor | |||||||
(In $ millions) | Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||||

The share in after tax loss of associated companies for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflected our share of theafter-tax losses of our investments in Seadrill Partners and Seamex offset by our share of profits in the Seabras Sapura joint venture. This included a net expense for the amortization of basis differences of $28 million.
The share inafter-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflected our share of theafter-tax profit of our investments in Seamex and Seabras Sapura Joint venture offset by a share of losses in our investment in Seadrill Partners.
iii. Loss on derivative financial instruments
On May 11, 2018, we bought an interest rate cap from Citigroup for $68 million. The interest rate cap mitigates our exposure to future increases in LIBOR over 2.87%. We currently have exposure to LIBOR from our floating rate debt.
The loss on derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $27 million comprised a fair value loss on our interest rate cap. The fair value loss on the interest rate cap was caused by a decrease in forward interest rates. There was an immaterial movement in the Archer share price which resulted in the value of the conversion option on the Archer convertible bond remaining stable.

Table of Contents
The loss on derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $3 million comprised a fair value loss on the conversation option on the Archer convertible bond.
iv. Foreign exchange (loss)/gain
Foreign exchange gains and losses relate to exchange differences on the settlement or revaluation of monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar.
v. Loss on marketable securities
The loss on marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 reflect the changes in mark to market movements in our investments in Seadrill Partners common units and our Archer shares.
vi.Other financial items
Other financial items for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily comprised an indenture fee incurred for a tender offer of our New Secured Notes. We did not incur significant other financial items for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
7) Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities related to our ownership and operation of drilling units and may vary significantly depending on jurisdictions and contractual arrangements. In most cases the calculation of taxes is based on net income or deemed income, the latter generally being a function of gross revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
1) Introduction
We operate in a capital-intensive industry. We have historically funded acquisitions of drilling units and investments in associated companies through a combination of debt and equity issuances and from cash generated from operations. Although we restructured our debt through the Chapter 11 Reorganization we remain a highly leveraged company with outstanding borrowings on our external debt facilities totaling $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2019.
Our liquidity requirements relate to servicing our debt, making capital investments, funding working capital requirements and maintaining adequate cash reserves to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in operating cash flows. Most of our contract and other revenues are received between 30 and 60 days in arrears, and most of our operating costs are paid monthly. We believe our current resources, available cash and cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and other obligations as they fall due for at least the next twelve months.
Our funding and treasury activities are conducted in accordance with our corporate policies, which aim to maximize returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our operating requirements. Cash and cash equivalents are held mainly in U.S. dollars, with lesser amounts held in Norwegian Kroner, Brazilian Reais and Great British Pounds.
This section discusses the most important factors affecting our liquidity and capital resources.
2) Liquidity
Our level of liquidity fluctuates depending on a number of factors. These include, among others, our contract backlog, economic utilization achieved, average contract day rates, timing of accounts receivable collection, timing of payments for operating costs and other obligations. Our liquidity comprises cash and cash equivalents. The below table shows cash and restricted cash balances for each period presented.

a) Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities can include cash receipts from customers, cash paid to employees and suppliers (except for capital expenditure), interest and dividends received (except for returns of capital), interest paid, income taxes paid and other operating cash payments and receipts.
We calculate cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method as summarized in the below table.

Market conditions in the offshore drilling industry in recent years have led to materially lower levels of spending for offshore exploration and development. This has negatively affected our revenues, profitability and operating cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 our cash flows from operating activities were negative, as cash receipts from customers were insufficient to cover operating costs, payments for long-term maintenance of our rigs, interest payments and tax payments.
b) Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor) were primarily generated by contingent consideration payments from Seadrill Partners from the sale of the drillshipWest Vela in 2015. These cash inflows were offset by capital expenditures.
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Predecessor) were driven by contingent consideration payments from Seadrill Partners from the sale of the drillshipWest Vela in 2015, and related party loan repayments from Seadrill Partners. These cash inflows were partly offset by capital expenditures.

Table of Contents
c) Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor) and March 31, 2018 (Predecessor) were related to repayments of debt contained within three consolidated variable interest entities managed and financed by Ship Finance International Limited from whom we lease rigs under sale and leaseback arrangements.
Contractual Obligations

(1) | Debt principal repayments, excluding cash andpayment-in-kind interest. |
(2) | The above table assumes that we will make amortization payments on our secured credit facilities from 2020. Under the terms of the bank financing agreements we have the ability to defer up to $500 million of amortization payments (Amortization Conversion Election facility or “ACE”) up to 120 days before such payment becomes due. The deferred amortization then becomes part of the balloon payment for each relevant facility. Based on the amortization schedule, the ACE has capacity to defer the first five quarters of amortization. |
(3) | Pension obligations are the forecasted employer’s contributions to our defined benefit plans, expected to be made over the next ten years. |
In addition to the above, we have recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $122 million including interest and penalties as at March 31, 2019.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to several market risks, including credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Our policy is to reduce our exposure to these risks, where possible, within boundaries deemed appropriate by our management team. This may include the use of derivative instruments.
Credit risk
We have financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other receivables and certain amounts receivable on derivative instruments. These assets expose us to credit risk arising from possible default by the counterparty. Most of the counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions or large oil and gas companies. We do not expect any significant loss to result fromnon-performance by such counterparties.
We do not demand collateral in the normal course of business. The credit exposure of derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the end of each period, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements, adjusted for counterpartynon-performance credit risk assumptions. It is our policy to enter into master netting agreements with the counterparties to derivative financial instrument contracts, which give us the legal right to discharge all or a portion of amounts owed to a counterparty by offsetting them against amounts that the counterparty owes to us.
Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that most of the amounts are carried with Citibank, Nordea Bank Finland Plc, Danske Bank A/S, BNP Paribas and ING Bank N.V. We consider these risks to be remote. We also have a concentration of risk with respect to customers. For details on the customers with greater than 10% of contract revenues, refer to Note 4—Segment information.
Foreign exchange risk
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of most of our subsidiaries and equity method investees. However, a portion of the revenues and expenses of certain of our subsidiaries and equity method investees are denominated in other currencies. We are therefore exposed to foreign exchange gains and losses that may arise on the revaluation or settlement of monetary balances denominated in foreign currencies.
16
Table of Contents
Our foreign exchange exposure primarily relates to foreign denominated cash and working capital balances. We do not expect these exposures to cause a significant amount of fluctuation in net income and therefore do not currently hedge them. Further, the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates caused by our international operations generally has not had a material impact on our overall operating results.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates mainly to our floating rate debt and balances of surplus funds placed with financial institutions. We manage this risk through the use of derivative arrangements. We have set out our exposure to interest rate risk on our net debt obligations at March 31, 2019 in the table below:

On May 11, 2018, we purchased an interest rate cap for $68 million to mitigate our exposure to future increases in LIBOR on our Senior Credit Facility debt. The interest rate cap is not designated as a hedge and we do not apply hedge accounting. The capped rate against the3-month US LIBOR is 2.87% and covers the period from June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2023.
The LIBOR rate applied on our debt at March 31, 2019 was 2.60%. Therefore, the interest cap would mitigate the impact of 73% of a theoretical 1% point increase in the LIBOR rate. This is set out in the table below:

One of the Ship Finance subsidiaries that we consolidate as a VIE (refer to Note 23– Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)) previously entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to variability in cash flows for future interest payments on the loans taken out to finance the acquisition of theWest Linus. These interest rate swaps matured on December 31, 2018.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Critical accounting estimates are important to the portrayal of both our financial position and results of operations and require us to make subjective or complex assumptions or estimates about matters that are uncertain. The basis of preparation and significant accounting policies are disclosed in our annual report on Form20-F.
Critical accounting estimates that have significantly impacted the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
Drilling Units
Generally, the carrying amount of our drilling units including rigs, vessels and related equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. However, drilling units acquired through a business combination or remeasured through the application of fresh start accounting are measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition or the date of emergence, respectively. Our drilling units are subject to various estimates, assumptions, and judgments related to capitalized costs, useful lives and residual values, and impairments.
Our estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflect both historical experience and expectations regarding future operations, utilization and performance. At March 31, 2019 (Successor) and December 31, 2018 (Successor), the carrying amount of our drilling units was $7 billion, representing 62% and 61% of our total assets, respectively.
17
Table of Contents
Useful lives and residual value
The cost of our drilling units less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives. The estimated useful life of our semi-submersible drilling rigs, drillships and jackup rigs, when new, is 30 years.
The useful lives of rigs and related equipment are difficult to estimate due to a variety of factors, including technological advances that impact the methods or cost of oil and gas exploration and development, changes in market or economic conditions and changes in laws or regulations affecting the drilling industry. Were-evaluate the remaining useful lives of our drilling units as and when events occur which may directly impact our assessment of their remaining useful lives. This includes changes in the operating condition or functional capability of our rigs as well as market and economic factors. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in establishing estimated useful lives and residual values could result in significantly different carrying values for our drilling units which could materially affect our results of operations.
Redeemablenon-controlling interests
Subsequent to filing bankruptcy petitions, the Predecessor executed a Transaction Support Agreement (“TSA”) on April 4, 2018 with a minority shareholder of one of our subsidiaries, Asia Offshore Drilling Limited (“AOD”). The purpose of the TSA was to provide a framework for a monetization event for the minority shareholder of AOD as well as obtain unanimous approval of the AOD board of directors (which included the minority shareholder) in order for AOD to become a party to the RSA and participate in the Predecessor’s broader debt restructuring under its Chapter 11 reorganization. The TSA executed between the parties provides an option to the holders ofnon-controlling interest shares to sell the shares it owns to Seadrill Limited subject to a price ceiling (“Put Option”). After the end of the effective period of the Put Option, if the right remains unexercised, Seadrill Limited has the option to purchase thenon-controlling interest in AOD at a price subject to the floor price (“Call Option”). The Put Option generates a redemption feature for thenon-controlling interest holder that is outside the control of Seadrill Limited.
To calculate the fair value of thenon-controlling interest shares, we estimated the fair value of AOD in total and then allocated this between the shares held by us and by those held by thenon-controlling interest. We estimated the fair values of AOD in total by adjusting the Consolidated Balance Sheet position of AOD as at each reporting period for an updated fair value of the three drilling units:AOD I, AOD II and AOD III. We derived the fair value of the three drilling units using a market approach discounted using a weighted average cost of capital of 11.40%. We derived the fair value of the external debt facilities with a discounted cash flow using a weighted average cost of debt of 6.15%.
Income taxes
Seadrill is a Bermuda company that has a number of subsidiaries and affiliates in various jurisdictions. We are not currently required to pay income taxes in Bermuda on ordinary income or capital gains because we qualify as an exempt company. We have received written assurance from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that we will be exempt from taxation until March 2035. Certain of our subsidiaries operate in other jurisdictions where income taxes are imposed. Consequently, income taxes have been recorded in these jurisdictions when appropriate. Our income tax expense is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which our operations are conducted and income is earned. The income tax rates and methods of computing taxable income vary substantially between jurisdictions. Our income tax expense is expected to fluctuate from year to year because our operations are conducted in different tax jurisdictions and the amount ofpre-tax income fluctuations.
The determination and evaluation of our annual group income tax provision involves the interpretation of tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which we operate and requires significant judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions regarding significant future events, such as amounts, timing and the character of income, deductions and tax credits. There are certain transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is unclear due to uncertainty in the ordinary course of business. We recognize tax liabilities based on our assessment of whether our tax positions are more likely than not sustainable, based solely on the technical merits and considerations of the relevant taxing authorities widely understood administrative practices and precedence. Changes in tax laws (such as the 2017 US tax reform), regulations, agreements, treaties, foreign currency exchange restrictions or our levels of operations or profitability in each jurisdiction may impact our tax liability in any given year.
While our annual tax provision is based on the information available to us at the time, a number of years may elapse before the ultimate tax liabilities in certain tax jurisdictions are determined. Current income tax expense reflects an estimate of our income tax liability for the current year, withholding taxes, changes in prior year tax estimates as tax returns are filed or from tax audit adjustments. Our deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities as reflected on the balance sheet. Valuation allowances are determined to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To determine the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as at the valuation allowances, we must make estimates and certain assumptions regarding future taxable income, including where our drilling units are expected to be deployed, as well as other assumptions related to our future tax position. A change in such estimates and assumptions, along with any changes in tax laws, could require us to adjust the deferred tax assets, liabilities or valuation allowances. In addition, our uncertain tax positions are estimated and presented within other current liabilities, other liabilities, and as reductions to our deferred tax assets within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 6– “Taxation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ASU2016-02 Leases (also2018-10,2018-11,2018-20, and2019-01)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update requires an entity to recognizeright-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. It also offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years using a modified retrospective application.
We transitioned to the new standard using the modified retrospective approach as permitted by the standard. We determined that our drilling contracts contain a lease component as well as a revenue component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient provided to lessors and will not separate the lease and nonlease components within our drilling contracts. We will continue to apply the Topic 606 to our drilling contracts instead of Topic 842 because the nonlease component is the predominant component within our drilling contracts. As a result, our pattern of revenue recognition did not change significantly compared to prior accounting standards due to the adoption of this update.
In addition, within our operating leases, where we are lessees, we elected not to separate nonlease components from lease components and instead we account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component in accordance with Topic 842. We have also elected not to apply the recognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases, being leases lasting less than one year. Instead, we recognize short-term lease payments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
We recognized an aggregate lease liability of $25 million and aright-of-use asset of $23 million on adoption on January 1, 2019. There was no impact to our opening retained earnings as a result of adopting this update. Prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance in Topic 840.
Other ASUs
We additionally adopted the following accounting standard updates in the year which did not have any material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:
• | ASU2018-07 Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718) |
• | ASU2018-16 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) |
Recently issued accounting standards
The FASB issued the following ASUs that we have not yet adopted but which could affect our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in future periods:
ASU2016-13—Financial Instruments—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model foravailable-for-sale debt securities. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted only from January 1, 2019. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.
We are in the early stage of evaluating the impact of this standard update. Our customers are international oil companies, national oil companies and large independent oil companies. Our financial assets are primarily held with counter parties with high credit standing and we have historically had a low incidence of bad debt expense. Therefore, we do not currently expect this guidance to significantly affect our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures when we adopt it.
ASU2018-13 Fair Value Measurement—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update is intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the US GAAP information requirements that are most important to users of an entity’s financial statements. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU2018-14 Compensation - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The update is intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the US GAAP information requirements that are most important to users of an entity’s financial statements. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU2018-15 Intangibles
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill andOther-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The update is intended to provide additional guidance on the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU2018-17 Consolidation: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The update is intended to improve general purpose financial reporting by considering indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 – Chapter 11 proceedings and fresh start accounting
On September 12, 2017, Seadrill Limited and certain of its subsidiaries, “the Debtors”, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On February 26, 2018, the Debtors filed a proposed Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court and on April 17, 2018 the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (as modified) of Reorganization, as amended and supplemented the “Plan”. For further information on the Plan, please refer to the Seadrill Limited Annual Report on Form20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Debtors’ subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on July 2, 2018 following the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent to the Plan. Although we are no longer adebtor-in-possession, we were adebtor-in-possession for the entire period ended June 30, 2018.
On July 2, 2018, we had 100 million New Seadrill Common Shares outstanding, allocated as set forth below, in accordance with provisions of the Plan and issued on the Effective Date:
• | 14.25% of the New Common Shares issued to holders of unsecured claims against the Company and certain of its Chapter 11 debtor affiliates; |
• | 23.75% of the New Common Shares issued to participants in the $200 million equity investment under the Plan; |
• | 54.625% of the New Common Shares issued to participants in the $880 million new secured notes investment under the Plan; |
• | 1.9% of the New Common Shares issued to holders of existing common equity interest in the Company as of the Effective Date, an effective exchange ratio of approximately 0.0037345 New Common Shares per each Existing Share, and |
• | 5.475% of the New Common Shares issued as a structuring fee to certain of the new money investors. |

Fresh start accounting
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we applied fresh start accounting to our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the provision set forth in ASC852 as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company prior to emergence received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Company outstanding following its emergence from bankruptcy and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.
We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective July 1, 2018 (the “Convenience Date”), to coincide with the timing of the normal third quarter reporting period, which resulted in Seadrill becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. We evaluated and concluded that events between July 1, 2018 and July 2, 2018 were immaterial and that the use of an accounting Convenience Date of July 1, 2018 was appropriate.
The effects of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting were applied as of July 2, 2018 and the new basis of our assets and liabilities are reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related adjustments thereto were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Predecessor as “Reorganization items”. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period after July 1, 2018 (the “Successor”) will not be comparable with the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to that date.
The Plan presented on February 26, 2018, and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 17, 2018, estimated a range of distributable value for the Successor Company of between $10.2 billion and $11.8 billion. We derived the reorganization value based on themid-point of this range of estimated distributable values. This was approximately $11.0 billion.
Reorganization items
Expenses and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 cases are reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Reorganization items” as required by ASC 852,Reorganizations. This category was used to reflect the net expenses and gains and losses that are the result of the reorganization of the business.
The following table summarizes the components included within reorganization items:

Note 4 – Segment information
Operating segments
We provide drilling and related services to the offshore oil and gas industry. We have been organized into three operating segments:
1. | Floaters: Services encompassing drilling, completion and maintenance of offshore exploration and production wells. The drilling contracts relate to semi-submersible rigs and drillships for harsh and benign environments inmid-, deep- and ultra-deep waters; |
2. | Jack-ups: Services encompassing drilling, completion and maintenance of offshore exploration and production wells. The drilling contracts relate tojack-up rigs for operations in harsh and benign environments; and |
3. | Other: Operations including management services to third parties and related parties. Income and expenses from these management services are classified under this segment. |
Segment results are evaluated on the basis of operating income, and the information given below is based on information used for internal management reporting.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Costs incurred for the demobilization of rigs at contract completion are recognized as incurred during the demobilization process. Costs incurred for rig modifications or upgrades required for a contract, which are considered to be capital improvements, are capitalized as drilling and other property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the improvement. Refer to Note 13 – Drilling units for more information.
Deferred revenue -The deferred revenue balance of $33 million reported in “Other current liabilities” at March 31, 2019 (Successor) is expected to be realized within the next twelve months and $7 million reported in “Othernon-current liabilities” is expected to be realized within the following next twelve months. The deferred revenue included above consists primarily of mobilization and upgrade revenue for both wholly and partially unsatisfied performance obligations as well as expected variable mobilization and upgrade revenue for partially unsatisfied performance obligations, which has been estimated for purposes of allocating across the entire corresponding performance obligations. The amounts are derived from the specific terms within drilling contracts that contain such provisions, and the expected timing for recognition of such revenue is based on the estimated start date and duration of each respective contract based on information known at March 31, 2019. The actual timing of recognition of such amounts may vary due to factors outside of our control.
Practical expedient - We have applied the disclosure practical expedient in ASC606-10-50-14A(b) and have not included estimated variable consideration related to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations or to distinct future time increments within our contracts, including dayrate revenue. The duration of our performance obligations varies by contract.
Note 6 – Taxation
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $18 million (three months ended March 31, 2018: $32 million).
Seadrill Limited is incorporated in Bermuda, where a tax exemption has been granted until 2035. Other jurisdictions in which Seadrill’s subsidiaries operate are taxable based on rig operations. A loss in one jurisdiction may not be offset against taxable income in other jurisdictions. Thus, we may pay tax within some jurisdictions even though we might have losses in others.
Tax authorities in certain jurisdictions examine our tax returns and some have issued assessments. We are defending our tax positions in those jurisdictions.
The Brazilian tax authorities have issued a series of assessments with respect to our returns for certain years up to 2012 for an aggregate amount equivalent to $161 million including interest and penalties. The relevant group companies are robustly contesting these assessments including filing relevant appeals. An adverse outcome on these proposed assessments could result in a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations or Statement of Cash Flow. On May 6, 2019, we received notice that we would need to post approximately $81 million of collateral with a financial institution in order to continue with our appeal against certain years. We expect to make this payment on or before May 26, 2019.
The Nigerian tax authorities have issued a series of claims and assessments both directly and lodged through the Chapter 11 process with respect to returns for subsidiaries for certain years up to 2016 for an aggregate amount equivalent to $171 million. The relevant group companies are robustly contesting these assessments including filing relevant appeals in Nigeria and it is also intended that one or more formal objections against these claims for distribution purposes may be filed in the US court. An adverse outcome on these proposed assessments could result in a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations or Statement of Cash Flow.
Note 7 – Loss per share
The computation of basic (loss)/earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments.

Note 16 – Leases
We have operating leases relating to our premises, the most significant being our offices in London, Liverpool, Oslo, Stavanger, Singapore, Houston, Rio de Janeiro and Dubai. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor) was $3 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Predecessor), was $5 million.
Below are the significant assumptions and judgments we applied to account for our leases in accordance with Topic 842.
1. | We apply judgment in determination whether a contract contains a lease or a lease component as defined by Topic 842. |
2. | We have elected to combine leases andnon-lease components. As a result, we do not allocate our consideration between leases andnon-lease components. |
3. | The discount rate applied to our operating leases is our incremental borrowing rate. We estimated our incremental borrowing rate based on the rate for our traded debt. |
4. | Within the terms and conditions of some of our operating leases we have options to extend or terminate the lease. In instances where we are reasonably certain to exercise available options to extend or terminate, then the option was included in determining the appropriate lease term to apply. Options to renew our lease terms are included in determining theright-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. |

We also have operating subleases, where we are the lessor, relating to some of our premises. The most significant subleases being our offices in Stavanger and Houston. We do not expect to derive further value from the subleased portion of ourright-of-use assets following the end of the sublease term. These subleases do not include variable payments, and do not include options for a lessee to purchase the underlying asset. We do not allocate lease consideration between lease andnon-lease components because we have elected not to separate lease andnon-lease components for our operating leases where Seadrill is the lessor.

Key changes to borrowing facilities
Tender Offer for secured notes
In March 2019, we launched a tender offer for our New Secured Notes. Following the completion of the offer, in April 2019, were-purchased $311 million of New Secured Note at a price of 107. As such we have reclassified $311 million of notes fromnon-current to current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Collateral
Our credit facilities are secured by, among other things, liens on our drilling units. Our credit facility agreements contain cross-default provisions, meaning that if we defaulted and amounts became due and payable under one of our credit agreements, this would trigger a cross-default in our other facilities so that amounts outstanding under our other credit facility agreements become due and payable and capable of being accelerated.

On April 4, 2018, the Predecessor executed a Transaction Support Agreement (“TSA”) with a minority shareholder of one of Seadrill Limited’s subsidiaries, Asia Offshore Drilling Limited (“AOD”). The TSA provided a put option to the holders of non-controlling interest shares. The put option may be exercised from October 1, 2019 until September 30, 2020.
The put option gave the holders the right (with no obligation) to sell the shares it owns to Seadrill subject to a price ceiling. After the end of the effective period of the put option, if the right remains unexercised, Seadrill gets the right (with no obligation) to purchase thenon-controlling interest in AOD at a price subject to the floor price (“Call Option”). The call option may be exercised from October 1, 2020 until March 31, 2021. While the Call Option provides for a redemption mechanism, the redemption option is made by Seadrill. The put option, however, generates a redemption feature for thenon-controlling interest holder that is outside the control of Seadrill.
The redemption feature caused thenon-controlling interest held in AOD to be reclassified from equity to “Redeemablenon-controlling interest” within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We record the redeemablenon-controlling interest at fair value. Any fair value adjustment to generate an expected redemption value has been recognized through retained earnings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU2016-01, which applies to equity investments that are neither (i) accounted for under the equity method or (ii) result in consolidation. Under ASU2016-01 we record such investments at fair value and recognize any changes directly in net income, unless there is no readily ascertainable fair value, in which case we record the investment at cost less impairment. For fiscal periods beginning prior to January 1, 2018, marketable securities not accounted for under the equity method were classified asavailable-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified asavailable-for-sale were recognized in other comprehensive income. When we adopted ASU2016-01 on January 1, 2018, we reclassified $31 million of previously recognized fair value gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
Income taxes associated with each component of other comprehensive income were nil for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Successor) (March 31, 2018 (Predecessor): nil).
Note 22 – Risk management and financial instruments
We are exposed to several market risks, including credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Our policy is to reduce our exposure to these risks, where possible, within boundaries deemed appropriate by our management team. This may include the use of derivative instruments.
Credit risk
We have financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, other receivables and certain amounts receivable on derivative instruments. These assets expose us to credit risk arising from possible default by the counterparty. Most of the counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions or large oil and gas companies. We do not expect any significant loss to result fromnon-performance by such counterparties.
We do not demand collateral in the normal course of business. The credit exposure of derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the end of each period, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements, adjusted for counterpartynon-performance credit risk assumptions. It is our policy to enter into master netting agreements with the counterparties to derivative financial instrument contracts, which give us the legal right to discharge all or a portion of amounts owed to a counterparty by offsetting them against amounts that the counterparty owes to us.
Concentration of risk
There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that most of the amounts are carried with Citibank, Nordea Bank Finland Plc, Danske Bank A/S, BNP Paribas and ING Bank N.V. We consider these risks to be remote. We also have a concentration of risk with respect to customers. For details on the customers with greater than 10% of contract revenues, refer to Note 4 - Segment information.
Foreign exchange risk
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of most of our subsidiaries and equity method investees. However, a portion of the revenues and expenses of certain of our subsidiaries and equity method investees are denominated in other currencies. We are therefore exposed to foreign exchange gains and losses that may arise on the revaluation or settlement of monetary balances denominated in foreign currencies.
Our foreign exchange exposure primarily relates to foreign denominated cash and working capital balances. We do not expect these exposures to cause a significant amount of fluctuation in net income and therefore do not currently hedge them. Further, the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates caused by our international operations generally has not had a material impact on our overall operating results.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates mainly to our floating rate debt and balances of surplus funds placed with financial institutions. We manage this risk through the use of derivative arrangements. We have set out our exposure to interest rate risk on our net debt obligations at March 31, 2019 in the table below:

On May 11, 2018, we purchased an interest rate cap for $68 million to mitigate our exposure to future increases in LIBOR on our Senior Credit Facility debt. The interest rate cap is not designated as a hedge and we do not apply hedge accounting. The capped rate against the3-month US LIBOR is 2.87% and covers the period from June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2023.
The LIBOR rate applied on our debt at March 31, 2019 was 2.60%. Therefore, the interest cap would mitigate the impact of 73% of a theoretical 1% point increase in the LIBOR rate. This is set out in the below table.

One of the Ship Finance subsidiaries that we consolidate as a VIE (refer to Note 23– Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)) previously entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to variability in cash flows for future interest payments on the loans taken out to finance the acquisition of theWest Linus.

Level 1
The fair value of the secured notes were derived using market traded value. We have categorized this at level 1 on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Refer to Note 17– Debt for further information.
Level 2
Upon the adoption of fresh start accounting, the related party loans receivable from Seadrill Partners, SeaMex and Seabras Sapura were recorded at fair value. We estimated that the fair value continues to be equal to the carrying value as at March 31, 2019 as the debt is not freely tradable and cannot be recalled by us at prices other than specified in the loan note agreements and the loans were entered into at market rates. They are categorized as level 2 on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Other trading balances with related parties are not shown in the table above and are covered under Note 24 – Related party transactions. The fair value of other trading balances with related parties are also assumed to be equal to their carrying value.
The fair value of the secured credit facilities and Ship Finance loans were derived using the discounted cash flow model, using a cost of debt of 6%.
The fair value of the loans provided by Ship Finance to our VIE’s were derived using the discounted cash flow model, using a cost of debt of 11%. We have categorized this at level 2 on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Refer to Note 24 – Related party transactions for further information.

Level 1
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are highly liquid, was a reasonable estimate of fair value and categorized at level 1 on the fair value measurement hierarchy. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of marketable securities, which were valued at fair value on a recurring basis.
Level 2
The fair value of the interest rate cap as at March 31, 2019 was calculated using well-established independent valuation techniques and counterpartynon-performance credit risk assumptions. We have categorized these transactions as level 2 on the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Level 3
The Archer convertible debt instrument is bifurcated into two elements. The fair value of the embedded derivative option was calculated using a modified version of the Black-Scholes formula for a currency translated option. Assumptions include Archer’s share price in NOK, NOK/USD FX volatility and dividend yield. The fair value of the debt component was derived using the discounted cash flow model including assumptions relating to cost of debt and credit risk associated to the instrument.
The redeemablenon-controlling interest in AOD was calculated by applying a fair value to the three AOD rigs and debt facility using a discounted cash flow model. The rig values were determined using an income approach based on projected future dayrates, contract probabilities, economic utilization, capital and operating expenditures, applicable tax rates and asset lives, discounted using a weighted average cost of capital of 11%. The fair value of the debt was derived using the discounted cash flow model, using a cost of debt of 6%.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to lawsuits in various jurisdictions for demurrage, damages,off-hire and other claims and commercial disputes arising from the construction or operation of our drilling units, in the ordinary course of business or in connection with our acquisition or disposal activities. We believe that the resolution of such claims will not have a material impact, individually or in the aggregate, on our operations or financial condition. Our best estimate of the outcome of the various disputes has been reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as at March 31, 2019.

Seabras Sapura joint venture
The Sapura Esmeralda operates under a Brazilian flag. The right to operate under such Brazilian flag is being challenged in the Brazilian courts. An adverse decision in the Brazilian courts could affect the operations of the Sapura Esmeralda and potentially impact its commercial agreements and related financing.
Dalian Newbuilds
At March 31, 2019, we had no contractual commitments under newbuilding contracts with Dalian totaling (December 31, 2018: $0.4 billion).
Contracts for the newbuildjack-up rigs West Titan, West Proteus, West Rhea, West Hyperion, West Tethys and West Umbriel were terminated as of December 31, 2018. In February 2019, the Seadrill contracting party terminated the newbuilding contract for thejack-up rig West Dione due to: (i) delays to delivery of the rig, and (ii) Dalian being subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In March 2019, Dalian purported to terminate the eighth newbuilding contract for the West Mimas. In April 2019, the Seadrill contracting party rejected Dalian’s termination of the contract as wrongful and reserved all its rights. The Seadrill contracting party terminated the contract for the West Mimas for: (i) delays to delivery of the rig, (ii) Dalian being subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and (iii) Dalian’s wrongful purported termination in March 2019.
In March 2019, the Seadrill contracting parties commenced arbitration proceedings in London for all eight rigs and will claim for the return of the paid installments plus interest and further damages for losses.
In January 2019, Dalian appointed an administrator to restructure its liabilities. The Seadrill contracting parties have filed their claims against Dalian in the Dalian insolvency and the insolvency administrator is currently considering whether to accept or reject the claims in the insolvency. The arbitrations are currently not being progressed by agreement of the parties, pending the insolvency administrator’s decision whether to accept or reject the Seadrill contracting parties’ claims. Dalian has stated that it has claims for damages in respect of each of the rig, but it has not quantified those damages. The contracts are all with limited liability subsidiaries of Seadrill. There are no parent company guarantees.
Other contingencies
Sevan Louisiana loss incident
i. Physical damage insurance
In January 2019, there was a loss incident on theSevan Louisiana related to its subsea equipment. In addition to the costs incurred to date, we expect to incur additional costs to repair the equipment in the second quarter of 2019. We expect these costs to be covered by and reimbursable from our physical damage insurance.
ii. Loss of hire insurance
The loss incident has resulted in a period of downtime for theSevan Louisiana, which we expect to continue into the second quarter. As a result we expect to receive insurance recovery income from loss of hire of theSevan Louisiana for a total of 90 days. As the full extent of the loss of hire was not readily determinable as at March 31, 2019 we have not recognized the gain contingency.
Note 26 – Subsequent Events
Repurchase of New Secured Notes
On April 10, 2019, we repurchased $311 million in aggregate principal of our New Secured Notes. These were purchased at $341 million, representing a price of 107 plus accrued and unpaid interest up to and including April 10, 2019. The $341 million was comprised of $296 million of restricted cash and $45 million of unrestricted cash which all related to cash held in accounts that are pledged as collateral to the New Secured Notes.
