Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented:

--------------------------------------

"We close 2019 maintaining our strong operating track record, adding in excess of \$1bn to backlog during the quarter and making continued progress in our ESG focus. I am particularly pleased that we finished 2019 with an improved rating of Seadrill's activities by the independently assessed Carbon Disclosure Project and that we achieved a world first in respect of DNV Battery (Power) class notation on the West Mira.

We have seen a broad-based market recovery through 2019, led by the harsh environment segment, followed by the high specification jack-up and the benign environment ultra-deepwater segments. The pace of the recovery has slowed as we enter 2020, however we expect to see continued improvement as the year progresses.

Our first bank maturities do not fall due until Q2 2022, however we took the initiative to engage in a dialogue with our banks at an early stage to address capital structure challenges relative to current trading conditions. We have been engaged in a productive dialogue with the lead banks throughout the fourth quarter and into 2020 and we expect to provide a fuller update at the appropriate time."

1 Technical utilization is calculated as the total hours available for work, excluding planned maintenance, divided by the total number of hours in the period.

2Economic utilization is calculated as total revenue, excluding bonuses, for the period as a proportion of the full operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days on contract in the period.

3 Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation, amortization and similar non-cash charges. Additionally, in any given period we may have significant, unusual or non-recurring items which we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDAfor that period. When applicable, these items would be fully disclosed and incorporated into the required reconciliations from US GAAP to non-GAAPmeasures. Refer to the Appendix for the reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA, as operating income is the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

FOURTH QUARTER 2019

OPERATING REVIEW

Operations

The fourth quarter status and performance of Seadrill Limited's wholly or majority owned rig fleet was as follows:

As at December 31, 2019 Floaters Jack-ups Total
Operating 6 9 15
Technical utilization 95% 98% 97%
Economic utilization 89% 98% 93%
Future contracted 1 1 2
Idle 12 6 18
Total 19 16 35

At the end of the quarter we had six floaters operating and one contracted in the future in the following regions:

  • West Africa The West Gemini commenced operations in Angola;
  • Americas The West Tellus operated with Petrobras in Brazil. The Sevan Louisiana and West Neptune operated in the Gulf of Mexico with Walter Oil & Gas and LLOG respectively;
  • North Sea The West Phoenix and West Hercules operated with Equinor in Norway; and
  • Asia The West Carina was mobilizing to Malaysia and is expected to commence its contract with PTTEP in the first quarter.

Nine of our jack-ups operated in the fourth quarter with five working in the Middle East, two working in Asia and two harsh-environment jack-ups working in Norway. The West Castor was on bareboat charter to our GulfDrill joint venture whilst mobilizing to Qatar and is expected to commence in the second quarter.

We maintain a disciplined approach to evaluating reactivations, looking for market fixtures which support relatively short payback periods. While there are limited opportunities to reactivate idle floaters, we expect to see some opportunities for reactivations in the high specification jack-up market later in 2020.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance

In the quarter we pioneered the use of hybrid power with the West Mira, making her the first floater in the world to be awarded the DNV GL Battery (Power) class notation. By incorporating batteries onto the rig, we reduce the runtime of the diesel engines, thereby increasing energy efficiency whilst lowering SOx, NOx and CO2 emissions.

In addition, we were recognised by the Petroleum Economist as 'The Best Offshore Services and Equipment Company 2019'for our innovative work in developing PLATO and the development of our red zone management solution, Vision IQ.

Following quarter end, we received notification from the independently assessed Carbon Disclosure Project that Seadrill had attained the second highest rating for its carbon management programme aimed at reducing the overall impact on the environment of our carbon footprint. This represents the 8th year of participation by Seadrill, showing progression throughout the period.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Abbreviated Income Statement

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q4 2019 Q3 2019
Total operating revenues 398 367
Total operating expenses (491) (435)
Other operating income 10
Operating loss (93) (58)
Total financial items and other expense, net (136) (460)
Income tax benefit/(expense) 30 (3)
Net loss (199) (521)
Adjusted EBITDA 39 85

Revenues were \$398 million for the fourth quarter (3Q19: \$367 million). The increase was primarily due to higher reimbursable and other revenues relating to rigs managed on behalf of Northern Drilling1 and Sonadrill. These were partially offset by lower contract revenues due to a full quarter of idle time for the West Saturn and West Carina, idle time for the West Gemini prior to commencing its contract in Angola, the West Jupiter completing its contract and the West Tellus commencing a new contract at a lower dayrate. Additionally, the Libongos rig in Angola commenced work and consequently we have started to recognize revenue from our management services agreement with Sonadrill. --------------------------------------

1 "Northern Drilling" means both Northern Drilling Ltd, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "NODL" and Northern Ocean Ltd, listed on the NOTC under the trading symbol "NOL"

Total operating expenses were \$491 million for the fourth quarter(3Q19: \$435 million). The increase was primarily due to higher reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of Northern Drilling and Sonadrill.

There was no other operating income in the fourth quarter (3Q19: \$10 million). The decrease was due to the receipt of an insurance claim related to the off-hire time on the Sevan Louisiana in the third quarter not being repeated.

Operating loss was \$93 million (3Q19: \$58 million) as a result of the movements referred to above. After deducting Total financial and other expenses and Income Tax benefit the Net Loss was \$199 million, or \$1.99 loss per share (3Q19: \$521 million loss, or \$5.21 loss per share). The change in Total financial items and other expense is predominantly related to the impairment of our investments in Seadrill Partners in the third quarter not being repeated. Income tax for the fourth quarter was a credit of \$30 million (3Q19: \$3 million expense) primarily related to a deferred tax benefit associated with the completion of the West Jupiter contract.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was \$39 million (3Q19: \$85 million) delivering an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.8% (3Q19: 23.2%). The fall in margin represents the significant increase in reimbursable revenues and expenses incurred on behalf of Northern Drilling and Sonadrill at lower margin.

Abbreviated Cash Flow Statement

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q4 2019 Q3 2019
Net cash used in operating activities (56) (16)
Net cash (used in)/provided by investing activities (23) 8
Net cash used in financing activities (12) (12)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash 3 (4)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash (88) (24)
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, at beginning of the period 1,445 1,469
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, at the end of period 1,357 1,445

Net cash used by operating activities for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 was \$56 million (3Q19: \$16 million). Adjusted EBITDA was offset by interest expenses, payments for long-term maintenance and working capital movements.

Net cash used in investing activities was \$23 million (3Q19: \$8 million cash provided) primarily due to capital expenditures and our \$25 million working capital contribution to Sonadrill. These were partially offset by repayments of shareholder loans from Seabras Sapura and the portion of the West Vela dayrate received from Seadrill Partners.

Net cash used in financing activities was \$12 million (3Q19: \$12 million) relating to repayment of bank debt made by three consolidated variable interest entities managed and financed by Ship Finance International Limited from whom we lease rigs under sale and leaseback arrangements.

Net cash used in the fourth quarter was \$88 million (3Q19: \$24 million utilization) resulting in total cash of \$1,357 million as at December 31, 2019 (3Q19: \$1,445 million).

Abbreviated Balance Sheet

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q4 2019 Q3 2019
Cash and cash equivalents 1,115 1,216
Restricted Cash 242 229
Other current assets 523 605
Other non-current assets 7,399 7,441
Total assets 9,279 9,491
Current liabilities 770 711
Non-current liabilities 6,659 6,735
Equity and redeemable non-controlling interest 1,850 2,045
Total liabilities, redeemable non-controlling interest and equity 9,279 9,491

Total cash and restricted cash was \$1.4 billion (3Q19: \$1.4 billion). The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to operational, financing and investing cashflows as described above. The increase in restricted cash relates to cash received from Seabras Sapura that form part of the collateral package for the Senior Secured Notes and foreign exchange movements related to cash posted as collateral while we appeal a Brazilian tax ruling.

Other current assets were \$0.5 billion (3Q19: \$0.6 billion). The decrease was due to a reduction in accounts receivables due to the completion of contracts and amortization of favorable contracts. This was partially offset by an increase in amounts due from related parties in relation to reimbursables and management fees from our managed rigs.

Other non-current assets were \$7.4 billion (3Q19: \$7.4 billion). The movement was primarily due to the normal depreciation of our drilling units net of capital expenditures and an impairment of our Archer convertible bond investment, partially offset by our working capital contribution to Sonadrill.

Current liabilities were \$0.8 billion (3Q19: \$0.7 billion). Current debt increased by \$110 million related to amortization payments of secured bank debt scheduled in Q4 2020 becoming current. This was partially offset by the first tranche of the amortization conversion election facility ("ACE") being exercised and consequently \$63 million of short-term debt reclassified to long-term.

Non-current liabilities were \$6.7 billion (3Q19: \$6.7 billion). The offsetting movements were primarily due to long-term debt becoming current and a reduction in deferred tax liabilities relating to the West Jupiter contract completion.

Equity and redeemable non-controlling interest was \$1.9 billion (3Q19: \$2.0 billion), primarily reflecting the net loss for the quarter.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

Total cash of \$1.4 billion was comprised of \$1.1 billion of unrestricted cash and \$242 million of restricted cash. Total restricted cash was comprised of \$135 million primarily related to a guarantee facility for certain drilling contracts, \$83 million posted as collateral whilst we appeal a Brazilian tax ruling and approximately \$24 million held in a mandatory offer account to be used to redeem the Senior Secured Notes once certain thresholds are met.

In addition to cash resources we have the ability to defer up to \$500 million of amortization payments (Amortization Conversion Election or "ACE"). During the quarter we utilized \$63 million of the ACE to defer the first scheduled amortization installments under our secured bank facilities for Q1 2020. The deferred amortization becomes part of the balloon payment for each relevant facility. Based on the amortization schedule, the ACE has capacity to defer amortization through to early 2021.

Our first bank maturities do not fall due until Q2 2022 however we took the initiative to engage in a dialogue with our banks at an early stage to address capital structure challenges relative to current trading conditions. We have been engaged in a productive dialogue with the lead banks throughout the fourth quarter and into early 2020 and we expect to provide a fuller update at the appropriate time.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

Order Backlog

Order Backlog at December 31, 2019 was approximately \$2.5 billion of which approximately \$720 million is expected to be consumed in 2020.

Figures in USD billion at Q4 2019 Q3 2019 Q2 2019
Quarter end Order Backlog1 2.5 1.8 1.9

1Order Backlog includes all firm contracts at the maximum contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period. For contracts which include a market indexed rate mechanism we utilize the current applicable dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period. Order Backlog excludes revenues for mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation or other incentive provisions and excludes backlog relating to Non-Consolidated Entities. Refer to our annual report on Form 20-F for further guidance.

During the fourth quarter we added approximately \$1 billion in backlog from the following segments:

  • \$221 million in our benign environment floater segment primarily related to a 2 year contract for the West Tellus with Petrobras.
  • \$502 million in our harsh environment floater and jack-ups segments. The most notable was a multiple well contract for the West Phoenix with Vår Energy AS in Norway with total contract value of \$302 million.
  • \$307 million in our benign environment jack-up segment primarily related to 3 year contracts with Saudi Aramco for the AOD II, AOD III and West Callisto.

Trading Outlook

Throughout 2019 we have seen an improvement in market fundamentals with increased tendering activity, utilization and dayrates which we expect to continue over the long-term. Although the pace has slowed as we enter 2020 we expect continued market recovery over the remainder of the year.

While we have seen improvements across all three segments they continue to recover at varying rates. The harsh environment remains the tightest market, particularly in Norway where we continue to see strong dayrates and marketed utilization trending towards 90%. In the benign environment market we may see some near term pressure on dayrates whilst an oversupply from contract conclusions sees customers seeking to lock in low rates for longer-term work. However, in the jack-up market we continue to see high utilization and strong fixtures particularly in South East Asia and the Middle East. Astrong demand outlook for high specification jack-up assets may present the opportunity to add supply for which we are well positioned.

For the first quarter 2020 we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately \$35 million, reflecting a full quarter of idle time for the West Jupiter and West Saturn, partially offset by a higher dayrate for the West Neptune and a full quarter of operations for the West Gemini.

NON-CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES:

In addition to owning and operating our offshore drilling units, we have six material investments that are not consolidated. These investments are recognized as either Marketable Securities or Investments in Associated Companies. The operating status of rigs managed on behalf of our non-consolidated entities and other partners is as follows (see Appendix III for key financial metrics):

As at December 31, 2019 Floaters Jack-ups and tender rigs Total
Operating 5 5 10
Technical utilization 95% 98% 96%
Economic utilization 95% 91% 93%
Future contracted 3 3
Idle 4 3 7
Total 12 8 20

The majority of our interests are equity accounted for and these investments contributed a \$17 million loss to our Q4 results (3Q19: \$33 million loss) after taking into account the unwind of basis differences associated with fresh start accounting. The lower loss is primarily due to the release of uncertain tax provisions in Seadrill Partners.

Our common units in Seadrill Partners and equity stake in Archer are accounted for as marketable securities and in aggregate contributed a \$1 million loss in the quarter (3Q19: \$10 million loss) due to the movement in share prices over the quarter.

BOARD CHANGES

Effective February 27, 2020 Eugene I. Davis and Scott D. Vogel have taken the decision to step down from their current positions and will be replaced by Herman R. Flinder and Birgit Aagaard-Svendsen. Mr Flinder is co-founder of Norse Partners LLC and Energy Investment Management LLC and brings 30 years of experience on the offshore industry to the board. Ms Aagaard-Svendsen previously was Chief Financial Officer of the shipping company J Lauritzen A/S and brings more the 25 years of board experience in public companies.

Appendix I - Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation, amortization and similar non-cash charges. Additionally, in any given period we may have significant, unusual or non-recurring items which we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA for that period. When applicable, these items are fully disclosed and incorporated into the reconciliation provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to measure our ongoing financial and operating strength. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAassists investors by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest, other financial items, taxes and depreciation and amortization, which are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which may significantly affect operating income between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or any other indicator of Seadrill Limited's performance calculated in accordance with the US GAAP.

The table below reconciles operating income to Adjusted EBITDA.
