Financial highlights
Third quarter 2016 results
Revenues for the third quarter 2016 were $136.7 million compared to $164.6
million for the second quarter of 2016. The primary reason for the decrease is
the West Phoenix and the West Alpha coming to an end of their contracts in
August 2016, partly offset by demobilization revenue for the West Alpha.
Operating income for the third quarter was $28.7 million, a decrease of $25.3
million compared to the second quarter of 2016 operating income of $54.0
million. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to the West Phoenix
and West Alpha concluding contracts.
Net financial items for the third quarter of 2016 amounted to a charge of $22.4
million. The charge included $26.6 million in interest expenses and a gain on
financial derivatives of $12.9 million, partly offset by a foreign exchange loss
of $5.6 million related to the NOK1,500 million bond loan. The second quarter of
2016 incurred a net financial charge of $35.8 million, including interest
expenses of $26.8 million, and a loss on derivatives of $8.5 million.
Income tax expense for the third quarter was $19.1 million, compared to $1.6
million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase is mainly attributable to a
change estimate of the deferred tax liabilities recognized on long term
maintenance.
Net loss for the third quarter was $12.8 million and net loss attributable to
shareholders was $16.2 million, resulting in a basic loss per share of $0.67.
This is compared to net income of $16.6 million and a net income attributable to
shareholders of $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2016.
The Company reports operating revenues of $452.9 million, operating income of
$115.7 million and a net loss of $2.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2016. This compares to operating revenues of $597.3 million,
operating income of $158.6 million and a net income of $34.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Balance sheet as at September 30, 2016
As at September 30, 2016, total assets decreased to $3,038.3 million from
$3,119.1 million compared to the previous quarter.
Total current assets decreased to $230.4 million from $258.0 million compared to
the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in accounts
receivables on the completion of the West Alpha and West Phoenix drilling
contracts.
Total non-current assets decreased to $2,807.9 million from $2,861.1 million
compared to the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to depreciation on
drilling units.
Total current liabilities decreased to $1,332.6 million from $1,400.1 million
compared to the previous quarter. The decrease is primarily due to repayments of
debt of $53.5 million and also a fall in the mark-to-market interest rate swap
liabilities, which fell by $25.8 million to $98.7 million.
Total interest bearing debt, including related party debt and the current
portion, decreased to $2,343.0 million from $2,384.8 million during the
quarter. During the third quarter the Company repaid $41.7 million on the $2
billion credit facility and $11.9 million on the SFL Linus $475 million credit
facility.
Total equity decreased to $391.4 million from $402.6 million compared to the
previous quarter. The decrease is primarily due to the net loss for the quarter
of $12.8 million.
Cash flow
As at September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents increased to $86.1 million
from $80.0 million compared to the previous quarter.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2016, net cash provided by

activities amounted to $2.5 million, and net cash used in financing activities

investing activities amounted to $29.9 million, and net cash used in financing
activities was $210.6 million. The fall in net cash from operating activities
compared to the prior year is due to the fall in operating income and the
increase in outflows of working capital balances.
