Rowan Reports Second Quarter 2010 Operating Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS – For the three months ended June 30, 2010, Rowan Companies, Inc. (“Rowan” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RDC) generated net income of $90.9 million or $0.79 per share, compared to $96.6 million or $0.85 per share in the second quarter of 2009. Revenues were $490.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $482.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Rowan’s drilling operations generated revenues of $328.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, up by 2% from the prior-year quarter as the impact of offshore fleet additions and higher land rig utilization more than offset lower average day rates. The Company’s gross drilling margin was 58% of revenues in the second quarter of 2010, up from 57% in the prior-year quarter as a result of continued focus on cost effectiveness. Income from drilling operations was $124.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, down by 3% from the prior-year quarter due to higher depreciation and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Rowan’s manufacturing operations generated external revenues of $161.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, unchanged from the prior-year quarter. The Company’s gross manufacturing margin was 15% of revenues in the second quarter of 2010, up from 9% in the prior-year quarter. Income from manufacturing operations was $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, up by 137% from the prior-year quarter.
Matt Ralls, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our contract drilling operations turned in very good results in the second quarter. As a result, our earnings came in well above consensus expectations, with roughly half the beat from higher drilling revenues and half from lower drilling expenses. Our manufacturing group had strong revenue for the quarter, especially from the mining products and steel groups, but also had higher than expected expenses, primarily related to warranty costs, bad debts and other charges resulting from an intensive review by the new management team at LeTourneau. As a result, overall manufacturing margins basically met expectations.
“We continue to see good demand for high-spec jack ups, and expect to receive a commitment for the EXL-III in the near future. Our track record of finding term contracts for each of our recent new build jack-ups prior to delivery gives us confidence that we will find attractive opportunities for the three N-class rigs we will be acquiring in the Skeie Drilling transaction. We expect to begin the tender process for the 50% of the SKDP stock not already committed to us later this month and hope to conclude it by the end of September.”
