Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - EARNINGS
HOUSTON, May 8, 2017 -- Atwood Oceanics, Inc. (NYSE: ATW) ("Company"), announced today that it had recognized a net loss of $28.9 million or $(0.37) per diluted share, on revenues of $167.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to net income of $9.7 million or $0.15 per diluted share on revenues of $157.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and compared to net income of $122.4 million or $1.89 per diluted share, on revenues of $296.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net loss of $19.2 million or $(0.27) per diluted share, on revenues of $325.3 million compared to net income of $161.5 million or $2.49 per diluted share, on revenues of $604.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we concluded that the Atwood Eagle and its materials and supplies were impaired, and we wrote them down to their approximate salvage value. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $59.0 million ($57.6 million, net of tax, or $0.74 per diluted share), which is included in Asset Impairment on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This impairment charge includes a write-down of property and equipment and deferred costs of $49.6 million, a write-down of our inventory of materials and supplies that was specific to the Atwood Eagle of $8.4 million, and accrued estimated transaction costs of $1.0 million. On May 5, 2017, we executed a sale and recycling agreement with respect to the Atwood Eagle, pursuant to which the vessel, together with associated equipment and machinery will be sold to a third party to be demolished and recycled.
In January 2017, the client for the Atwood Achiever exercised its option provided as part of the “blend and extend” agreement we entered into in October 2015 to revert the contract to the original operating day rate and original end date. Exercise of this option resulted in a one-time payment to us of $48.1 million that includes the difference in day rates, taxes, and administrative fees covering the time periods for which the reduced day rate was applicable for previously provided drilling services, and is reported as a component of Contract drilling revenue in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued, in a public offering, 15,525,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds from the offering, before deducting estimated offering expenses, were approximately $181 million. The net proceeds are currently held as cash and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of borrowings under the Credit Facility, the funding of future purchases or redemption of our Senior Notes, working capital and capital expenditures, and otherwise to enhance our liquidity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased, through open market transactions, $13.5 million aggregate principal of our Senior Notes at an aggregate cost of $5.1 million, including a minimal amount of accrued interest, representing an average discount of 62.2%. As a result of the repurchases, we recognized a gain on debt retirement, net of the related debt issuance costs, of $8.4 million (or $0.13 per diluted share) in Gains on extinguishment of debt on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016.
