AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 The Company achieved net income of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 1996. The current period results were after charges of $20 million from concluding the Company's turnkey business and $3.5 million from partially redeeming 11 7/8% Senior Notes. The improved performance primarily resulted from the continued strengthening of offshore drilling day rates. A comparison of the revenues and operating profit (loss) from drilling, manufacturing, aviation and consolidated operations for the first quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, is reflected below (dollars in thousands): Drilling Manufacturing Aviation Consolidated -------------------- -------------------- --------------------- -------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenues $ 89,603 $ 71,051 $ 36,644 $ 35,948 $ 18,518 $ 19,809 $144,765 $126,808 Percent of Consolidated Revenues 62% 56% 25% 28% 13% 16% 100% 100% Operating Profit (Loss) (1) $ 16,017 $ 9,552 $ 3,696 $ 2,990 $ (4,435) $ (2,227) $ 15,278 $ 10,315 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Income (loss) from operations before deducting general and administrative expenses. As reflected above, the Company's consolidated operating results improved by $5.0 million when comparing the first quarters of 1997 and 1996. Day rate drilling revenues increased by $26.8 million or 43% as the Company's offshore fleet achieved 98% utilization during the first quarter of 1997, compared to 95% in the first quarter of 1996, and a 42% increase in average day rates between periods. Related expenses increased by only $2.5 million, or 6%, between periods. First quarter 1997 results include an approximately $20.5 million loss from the Company's turnkey division, primarily reflecting the costs incurred on one well where the Company was unable to reach the contract depth due to a series of misfortunes, including underground blow-outs, stuck pipe, lost holes and, finally, an unstable, heaving shale section. In the year-earlier period, the turnkey division generated revenues of $8.2 million and an incremental operating loss of $1.6 million. The Company currently has no turnkey wells in progress nor any plans for additional turnkey work at this time. The improvement in the Company's manufacturing profitability between periods shown above primarily reflects higher-margin heavy equipment sales in 1997, particularly for the mining and timber industries. In April, the manufacturing division was awarded two significant marine construction -8- 10 contracts. Over the next twelve months, the Company will provide vessel design and components (a "LeTourneau kit") for the construction of a new Super 116 Class rig. In addition, the Company will furnish vessel design and components needed to upgrade an existing LeTourneau 116-C kit to an enhanced 116-C rig. The aviation operating results in both quarters reflect the normal seasonal slowdown in flying activity in Alaska, although the 1997 results were hampered primarily due to higher maintenance costs in the Company's fixed-wing division. Perceptible trends in the offshore drilling markets in which the Company is currently operating and the number of Company-operated rigs in each of those markets are as follows: AREA RIGS PERCEPTIBLE INDUSTRY TRENDS - --------------------------- ------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Continuing high levels of exploration and development Gulf of Mexico 15 activity Continuing high levels of drilling activity for jack-up North Sea 5 rigs Eastern Canada 1 Improving demand The preceding table reflects the relocation in January 1997 of Rowan Gorilla IV to the North Sea from the Gulf of Mexico. Perceptible trends in the aviation markets in which the Company is currently operating and the number of Company aircraft based in each of those markets are as follows: COMPANY-OWNED AREA AIRCRAFT (1) PERCEPTIBLE INDUSTRY TRENDS - ------------------------ ------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Alaska 63 Normal seasonal improvement Gulf of Mexico 43 Moderately improving market conditions China 2 Generally stable flight support activity North Sea (Dutch) 11 Generally stable flight support activity North Sea (U. K.) 4 Generally stable flight support activity - ---------------------------- (1) Includes 15 units which are 49% owned. The drilling and aviation markets in which the Company competes frequently experience significant changes in supply and demand. Drilling utilization and day rates achievable in offshore markets are a function of the demand for drilling services, as measured by the level of exploration and development expenditures, and the supply of capable drilling equipment. These expenditures, in turn, are affected by many factors such as existing and newly discovered oil and natural gas reserves, political and regulatory policies, seasonal weather patterns, contractual requirements under leases or concessions, trends in finding and extraction costs and, probably most influential, oil and natural gas prices. The Company's aviation operations are also affected by such factors, as flying in support of offshore energy operations remains a major source of business and Alaska operations are hampered each winter. The -9- 11 volatile nature of such factors prevents the Company from being able to accurately predict whether existing market conditions or the perceptible market trends reflected in the preceding tables will continue. In response to fluctuating market conditions, the Company can, as it has done in the past, relocate its drilling rigs and aircraft from one geographic area to another, but only when such moves are economically justified. Assuming such conditions and trends prevail, the Company should experience increased profitability in 1997. The Company's manufacturing operations are considerably less volatile than its drilling and aviation operations and, given current backlog levels and barring unforeseen circumstances, should continue to contribute positive operating results throughout the remainder of 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES A comparison of key balance sheet figures and ratios as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is as follows (dollars in thousands): March 31, December 31, 1997 1996 ---------- ------------ Cash and cash equivalents $116,924 $ 97,225 Current assets $327,554 $317,319 Current liabilities $140,584 $ 85,274 Current ratio 2.33 3.72 Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt $ 56,008 $ 3,932 Long-term debt $235,874 $267,321 Stockholders' equity $501,704 $496,219 Long-term debt/total capitalization .32 .35 Reflected in the comparison above are the effects in the first quarter of 1997 of net cash provided by operations of $35.7 million, capital expenditures of $38.8 million, proceeds from borrowings of $20.7 million and the call in February of $50 million of 11 7/8% Senior Notes for redemption in April. Capital expenditures during the first quarter were primarily related to construction of Rowan Gorilla V, an enhanced version of the Company's Gorilla Class jack-ups featuring a combination drilling and production capability and the world's largest bottom supported mobile offshore drilling unit. The rig is being constructed at the Company's Vicksburg, Mississippi shipyard and should be completed by the third quarter of 1998. The Company is financing up to 87.5% of the estimated $175 million cost of Gorilla V through a 12-year bank loan guaranteed by the Maritime Administration of the U. S. Department of Transportation under its Title XI Program. Following Gorilla V will be Rowan Gorilla VI and Rowan Gorilla VII in 1999 and 2000, respectively, at a combined construction cost of approximately $380 million. The Company intends to pursue outside financing for Gorilla VI and Gorilla VII if necessary, but believes that internally generated working capital may be sufficient to finance construction of both rigs if operating conditions continue to improve as expected. The Company currently has no other available credit facilities. The Company estimates remaining 1997 capital expenditures will be between $120 million and $130 million, including approximately $60-65 million and $35-40 million, respectively, for Gorilla V and Gorilla VI and $6 million for the purchase of five helicopters. The Company may also spend amounts to acquire additional aircraft as market conditions justify and to upgrade existing offshore rigs. -10- 12 On April 1, 1997, the Company redeemed $50 million of its 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2001 which had been called on February 6, 1997. The Company recorded a $3.5 million extraordinary charge in the first quarter, consisting primarily of the 6% redemption premium. The Company intends to refinance the remaining $150 million of outstanding Senior Notes in late 1997 and expects to realize an estimated $7 million extraordinary loss upon such redemption. Based upon current operating levels and the previously discussed market trends, management believes that 1997 operations, together with existing working capital and available financial resources, will generate sufficient cash flow to sustain planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements at least through the remainder of 1997. At March 31, 1997, approximately $49 million of the Company's retained earnings was available for the payment of dividends under the most restrictive provisions of the Company's debt agreements. This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements as to the expectations, beliefs and future expected financial performance of the Company that are based on current expectations and are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: o oil and natural gas prices o the level of offshore expenditures by energy companies o the general economy, including inflation o weather conditions in the Company's principal operating areas o environmental and other laws and regulations Other relevant factors have been disclosed in the Company's filings with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. -11- 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
