Awilco Drilling PLC: Awilco Drilling Reports Q2 2018 Results

Awilco Drilling PLC reported contract revenue of USD 9.0 million (USD 34.1 million in Q1), EBITDA USD 1.9 million loss (USD 24.0 million profit in Q1) and net loss of USD 7.6 million (USD 19.1 million profit in Q1).

Revenue efficiency was 98.5% during the quarter (98.0% in Q1).

Contract utilisation was 13.9% during the quarter (50% in Q1).

Contract backlog at the end of Q2 was approximately USD 44.2 million (approximately USD 7.6 million end of Q1).

The Company exercised the call option and settled the secured bond.

Since June 2013 Awilco Drilling has consistently paid a quarterly dividend and during this time has distributed USD 12.00 (NOK 83.22) per share. With the ordering of one new-build high-end semisubmersible rig in March this year, plus an agreement for a further three independent rig options, the Company is now in a growth and investment phase. The Board of Directors has, therefore, decided to suspend the dividend and will resume same when the Company again reaches an appropriate free cash flow situation.

Please see attached for the Q2 2018 report.

A quarterly presentation will be held on 15 August 2018 at 10:30 CET in Awilhelmsen's offices at Beddingen 8, Aker Brygge, Oslo, Norway.
