First quarter results
Seadrill today reported consolidated revenues for the first quarter 2010 of
US$853 million compared to US$879 million for the fourth quarter 2009.
Operating profit for the first quarter was US$332 million as compared to US$382
million in the fourth quarter 2009.
Operating profit from the Mobile units amounted to US$285 million as compared to
an operating profit of US$338 million in the fourth quarter 2008, which included
gain on sale of assets of US$50 million.
Operating profit from the Tender Rigs amounted to US$35 million as compared to
US$29 million in the fourth quarter 2009. The improvement was mainly due to
higher average dayrate and start-up of operation for the new tender rigs West
Vencedor and T12.
Operating profit from Well Services amounted to US$12 million as compared to
US$15 million in the preceding quarter. The decrease is partly due to currency
fluctuation.
Net financial items for the first quarter showed a loss of US$86 million as
compared to a gain of US$20 million in the previous quarter. The incurred loss
is mainly related to mark-to-market loss on interest swap agreements, forward
currency contracts and total return swap agreements in own treasury stocks,
partly offset by a lower interest expense.
Income before income taxes amounted to US$246 million, while income taxes were
US$29 million.
Net income for the quarter amounted to US$217 million and earnings per share
were US$0.49 for the first quarter.
