Financial highlights
Second quarter 2015 results
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter 2015 were $210.7 million compared
to $192.0 million for the first quarter. The primary reason for the increase is
the West Phoenix having significantly less downtime in Q2 compared to Q1, due to
BOP repairs.
Operating income for the second quarter was $64.5 million, an increase of $27.6
million compared to the first quarter operating income of $36.9 million. The
increase is primarily due to the West Phoenix as stated above, combined with
lower operating costs as the West Navigator is now off contract and stacked.
Net financial items for the second quarter of 2015 amounted to a loss of $20.5
million. The loss included $25.1 million in interest expenses, gain on financial
derivatives of $8.8 million, and foreign exchange loss of $3.4 million mainly
related to the NOK1,500 million bond loan. The first quarter of 2015 incurred a
net financial loss of $45.9 million, including interest expenses of $24.6
million, loss on financial derivatives of $34.3 million, and gain on foreign
exchange of $14.4 million mainly related to the NOK1,500 million bond loan.
Income taxes for the second quarter was a $0.2 million benefit, compared to a
$2.3 million expense in the first quarter. The change was primarily due to a net
tax benefit recognized during the quarter in respect of return-to-provision
("RTP") adjustments.
Net income for the second quarter was $44.2 million resulting in a basic
earnings per share of $0.17, compared to net loss of $11.3 million for the first
quarter.
The Company reports operating revenues of $402.7 million, operating income of
$101.4 million and a net income of $32.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2015. This compares to operating revenues of $616.3 million, operating
income of $176.0 million and a net income of $79.9 million for the six months
