HOUSTON, Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Rowan Companies plc (" Rowan " or the " Company ") (NYSE: RDC) reported a net loss of $28.7 million, or $0.23 net loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $216.7 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. The net loss for the current quarter included a $2.4 million (after tax), or $0.02 per share, gain on early extinguishment of $35.8 million of debt. The net income for the prior-year quarter included a $120.0 million (after tax), or $0.95 per share, increase to net income for the Rowan Relentless contract termination. The $120.0 million reflects the incremental revenue in excess of the Rowan Relentless drillship's day rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, net income for the prior-year quarter included a $1.8 million (after tax), or $0.01 per share, gain on early extinguishment of debt.

Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Amidst challenging market conditions, we are encouraged by recent contract awards for the Rowan jack-up fleet. We continue to execute safe, reliable and efficient operations with less than 1% downtime in the quarter. Our balance sheet remains solid and we believe positions us well in a slow industry recovery."

Statements herein that are not historical facts are 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 business, financial and operating performance and prospects of the Company. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include oil and natural gas prices and the impact of the economic climate; changes in the offshore drilling market, including fluctuations in supply and demand; variable levels of drilling activity and expenditures in the energy industry; changes in day rates; ability to secure future drilling contracts; cancellation, early termination or renegotiation by our customers of drilling contracts; customer credit and risk of customer bankruptcy; risks associated with fixed cost drilling operations; unplanned downtime; risks related to our joint venture with Saudi Aramco; cost overruns or delays in transportation of drilling units; cost overruns or delays in maintenance, repairs, or other rig projects; operating hazards and equipment failure; risks of collision and damage; casualty losses and limitations on insurance coverage; weather conditions in the Company's operating areas; increasing costs of compliance with regulations; changes in tax laws and interpretations by taxing authorities; hostilities, terrorism, and piracy; impairments; cyber incidents; the outcomes of disputes, including tax disputes and legal proceedings; and other risks disclosed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in our earnings release and during our earnings calls we may reference company information that does not conform to GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the Company. However, these measures should not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for GAAP measures of performance, and these non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with previously published Company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Non-GAAP measures we may reference have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
