    STEINHAUSEN, Switzerland, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026. The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 9 a.m. EDT, 3 p.m. CEST, on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, with participation details included in this release. In addition, supplemental schedules have been posted to the Investors section of the Company's website at www.deepwater.com.

    FIRST QUARTER 2026 KEY POINTS

    • Contract drilling revenues were $1.08 billion due in part to strong revenue efficiency(1) of 97.3%.
    • Net income was $71 million or $0.06 per diluted share.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $440 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 40%.
    • Net cash provided by operating activities was $164 million; net of capital expenditures of $28 million, Free Cash Flow was $136 million.
    • Accelerated retirement of $358 million remaining principal amount of the 8.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the Deepwater Titan Notes), reducing interest to maturity by nearly $40 million.
    • Ended the period with total liquidity of $1.125 billion, including the undrawn revolving credit facility.
    • Added $1.6 billion in contract backlog(2) at a weighted average dayrate of about $410,000.

    "The Transocean team delivered exceptional performance to start the year," said Keelan Adamson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we executed new or extended contracts on five rigs increasing our total backlog to $7.1 billion which, reflecting demand for our differentiated assets, contains an implied average dayrate of over $450,000. We also exceeded our revenue expectations for the quarter and achieved a strong adjusted EBITDA margin above 40%. We continued to enhance our financial flexibility by accelerating debt retirement, reducing interest expense and simplifying our balance sheet.

    "Recent global events clearly underscore the importance of secure and reliable hydrocarbon supply. We continue to believe that we are in the early days of a multi-year upcycle with increasing demand for offshore exploration and development drilling services. Transocean is very well-positioned to play a key role in developing these offshore resources and creating long-term shareholder value."

    • Net cash provided by operating activities was $164 million reflecting timing of payments from customers and increased payroll obligations in the period.
    • Cash taxes paid in the period were $11 million.
    • The Company early retired the Deepwater Titan Notes in full on March 20, 2026. The outstanding principal amount of $358 million, plus a call premium and accrued but unpaid interest, was settled with cash on hand and funds from the associated debt service reserve account.

    • The Company today issued its Fleet Status Report. Since the February 2026 report, we added five new fixtures with an aggregate incremental backlog of approximately $1.6 billion and a weighted average dayrate of about $410,000.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). We believe certain financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under U.S. GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    All non-GAAP measure reconciliations to the most comparative U.S. GAAP measures are displayed in quantitative schedules on the company's website at: www.deepwater.com.

    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The statements described herein or in the Fleet Status Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements could contain words such as "believe," "primarily," "should," "outlook," "future," "schedule," "progress," "possible," "will," "expect," "estimate," "may," "approximate," "could," "plan," or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in the Fleet Status Report include, but are not limited to, statements involving estimated duration of customer contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates and locations, planned shipyard projects and other out-of-service time, sales of drilling units, and the cost and timing of mobilizations and reactivations. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the level of activity in offshore oil and gas exploration and development, exploration success by producers, operating hazards and delays, risks associated with international operations, actions by customers and other third parties, the fluctuation of current and future prices of oil and gas, the global and regional supply and demand for oil and gas, the intention to scrap certain drilling rigs, the effects of the spread of and mitigation efforts by governments, businesses and individuals related to contagious illnesses, and other factors, including our expectations regarding the timing, completion and anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination with Valaris Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, and those and other risks discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in the Company's other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on the SEC's website at: www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or the other consequences of such a development worsen, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the company or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or beliefs with regard to the statement or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law.

    NOTES

    1. Revenue efficiency is defined as actual operating revenues, excluding revenues for contract terminations and reimbursements, for the measurement period divided by the maximum revenue calculated for the measurement period, expressed as a percentage. Maximum revenue is defined as the greatest amount of contract drilling revenues the drilling unit could earn for the measurement period, excluding revenues for incentive provisions, reimbursements and contract terminations. See the accompanying schedule entitled "Revenue Efficiency."
    2. Contract backlog is defined as the maximum contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period, including certain performance-based provisions for which achievement is probable, excluding provisions for mobilization, demobilization, contract preparation, other incentive provisions or reimbursement revenues, which are not expected to be material to our contract drilling revenues. The contract backlog represents the maximum contract drilling revenues that can be earned considering the reported operating dayrate in effect during the firm contract period.
    3. Effective Tax Rate is defined as income tax expense or benefit divided by income or loss before income taxes. See the accompanying schedule entitled "Supplemental Effective Tax Rate Analysis."
