Two drillships started new contracts on schedule in the second quarter, lifting revenue 16% sequentially to $539 million and adjusted EBITDA to $97 million. Two more drillships are due to start contracts before year-end, which could provide another near-term earnings lift. (SEC)
Valaris had about $4.6 billion of backlog as at 5 August after adding more than $160 million of awards and extensions. The backlog includes roughly $1.83 billion scheduled for 2027 and $1.83 billion for 2028 and beyond, giving investors useful revenue visibility. (Valaris)
The 1,064-day Petrobras extension for drillship VALARIS DS-4 adds about $447 million of backlog and is expected to keep the rig working continuously into 2030. That secures a long-duration cash-flow stream in Brazil, one of the most important deepwater markets. (Valaris)
Middle East conflicts reduced second-quarter adjusted EBITDA by about $30 million through higher war-risk insurance and project delays affecting VALARIS 250 and 116. The impact was materially larger than the $8 million hit in the first quarter, so a prolonged conflict could keep margins under pressure. (SEC, Longbridge)
The improved quarter still lagged the prior year: revenue fell 12% year on year and diluted EPS fell to $0.72 from $1.61. Cash declined to about $541 million while capital spending rose to $106 million, showing that backlog growth is not yet translating cleanly into stronger earnings and cash generation. (Longbridge, SEC)
The pending Transocean combination reduces near-term transparency because Valaris is not expected to hold further earnings calls or provide additional forward guidance while the deal is pending. Any delay or failure to close would remove a key catalyst while leaving investors with less information on standalone performance. (Longbridge, Valaris)
