Subsequent Events

  • In a separate announcement planned board changes were announced today including John Fredriksen stepping down as Chairman and Glen Ole Rødland stepping into the role effective 21 November 2019
  • Over \$250 million awards post quarter end
  • First utilisation notification issued in respect of Amortization Conversion Election

Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented:

"Third Quarter results reflected a step up in EBITDA compared to our guidance. We performed well for our customers in the quarter and made good progress on both the new Sonadrill and Gulfdrill joint ventures with the first rig starting up in Sondarill early in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we continued to show commercial success in awards during and subsequent to the quarter which reinforces our confidence in a recovering market across all sectors, albeit at a lower pace. We expect that as we move into 2020 the gradually improving market conditions will result in a limited number of reactivations but also continued scrapping of rigs across the global fleet.

The suspension of trading of Seadrill Partners from the NYSE was a trigger to review impairment and we have taken an appropriate noncash charge in the quarter."

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

1 Economic 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.

2 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.

Third quarter Operating Review

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

As at September 30, 2019 Floaters Jack-ups Total
Operating 7 10 17
Economic utilization 93% 93% 93%1
Future contracted 1 1
Idle 11 6 17
Total 19 16 35

1Excluding the West Linus 5-year classing, economic utilization was 95%

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

  • West Africa The West Jupiter continued with its contract with Total in Nigeria and the West Gemini completed its contract with ENI in Angola and is scheduled to complete its classing prior to its next contract commencing in Q4.
  • Americas The West Tellus and West Saturn were operating in Brazil with Petrobras and Equinor respectively. The Sevan Louisiana returned to the operating fleet in the quarter and the West Neptune continues operations with LLOG in the Gulf of Mexico.
  • Asia The West Carina completed its contract with Petronas in Brunei; and
  • Norway The West Phoenix and West Hercules are operating with Equinor.

Ten of our jack-ups operated in the third quarter with five working in the Middle East, one in South America and two working in Asia with the West Cressida re-commencing operations with Ophir. Our two harsh-environment jack ups remain on long term contracts with ConocoPhillips in Norway.

Of our 17 idle units, we have predominantly moved these to low cost stacking options in Norway which allows us to contain costs. Dependent on the type of rig, reactivation requires an investment to return it to the market; we maintain a disciplined approach to these reactivations, looking for a relatively short payback period supported by market fixtures. We expect to see some opportunities for reactivations in the jackup market later in 2020.

Third Quarter Financial Review

Abbreviated Income Statement

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q3 2019 Q2 2019
Total operating revenues 367 321
Total operating expenses (435) (397)
Other operating income 10 3
Operating loss (58) (73)
Total financial items and other expense, net (460) (163)
Income tax (expense)/benefit (3) 30
Net loss (521) (206)
Adjusted EBITDA 85 69

Revenues were \$367 million for the third quarter (2Q19: \$321 million). The increase was primarily due to reimbursable revenues relating to delivery and operations preparation for rigs managed on behalf of Northern Drilling and Sonangol. Excluding reimbursables, revenues were higher due to a full quarter of operations for the West Phoenix, West Hercules and the West Telesto, West Cressida commencing a new contract and the West Louisiana returning to service. These were partially offset by the West Carina and West Gemini completing contracts and the West Linus 5-year classing.

Total operating expenses were \$435 million for the third quarter (2Q19: \$397 million), inclusive of \$26 million related to costs incurred on our managed units which is recharged on a cost plus basis (2Q19: \$22 million). The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to reimbursable expenses related to the reimbursable revenues mentioned above, a full quarter of operations for the West Phoenix, West Hercules and West Telesto and West Cressida contract commencement. These were partially offset by lower stacking costs for idle units relocated to Norway.

Other operating income of \$10 million for the third quarter (2Q19: \$3 million) is due to the receipt of an insurance claim related to the offhire time on the Sevan Louisiana.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was \$85 million was slightly higher than our guidance of between \$70-75 million mainly due to the AOD II contract being extended in the quarter and deferred project spend.

Total financial and other items resulted in an expense of \$460 million in the quarter (2Q19: \$163 million). The increase in the expense was primarily related to our investments in Seadrill Partners. In the quarter, Seadrill Partners announced its suspension from trading on the NYSE. This was considered an other than temporary impairment indicator which led to a \$302 million impairment.

The expense also increased due to our share of losses in associated companies after taking into account the unwind of basis differences (See Appendix II) and foreign exchange movements related to cash posted as collateral while we appeal a Brazilian tax ruling. These were partially offset by the loss on debt extinguishment in Q2 related to the tender offer for the Senior Secured Notes not being repeated in Q3 and lower losses on marketable securities.

Income tax for the third quarter was an expense of \$3 million (2Q19: \$30 million benefit). The second quarter included a tax credit for the release of uncertain tax provisions relating to changes in US tax legislation.

Reported net loss was \$521 million (2Q19: \$206 million) resulting in loss per share of \$5.21 (2Q19: \$2.03).

Abbreviated Cash Flow Statement

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q3 2019 Q2 2019
Net cash used in operating activities (16) (85)
Net cash provided by / (used in) investing activities 8 (13)
Net cash used in financing activities (12) (339)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (4) 4
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash (24) (433)
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, at beginning of the period 1,469 1,902
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, at the end of period 1,445 1,469

Net cash used by operating activities for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was \$16 million (2Q19: \$85 million). Adjusted EBITDA and other positive working capital movements were offset by interest expenses and payments for long-term maintenance.

Net cash provided by investing activities was \$8 million (2Q19: \$13 million cash used) relating to repayments of shareholder loans by Seabras Sapura and the portion of the West Vela dayrate received from Seadrill Partners, partially offset by capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was \$12 million (2Q19: \$339 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 third quarter was \$24 million resulting in total cash of \$1.4 billion as at September 30, 2019 (2Q19: \$1.5 billion).

Abbreviated Balance sheet

Figures in USD million, unless otherwise indicated Q3 2019 Q2 2019
Cash and cash equivalents 1,216 1,251
Restricted Cash 229 218
Other current assets 605 644
Other non-current assets 7,441 7,859
Total assets 9,491 9,972
Current liabilities 711 575
Non-current liabilities 6,735 6,827
Equity and redeemable non-controlling interest 2,045 2,570
Total liabilities, redeemable non-controlling interest and equity 9,491 9,972

Total cash and restricted cash was \$1.4 billion (2Q19: \$1.5 billion). The decrease in unrestricted cash 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.

Other current assets were \$0.6 billion (2Q19: \$0.6 billion). The decrease was due to the amortization of favorable contracts, a decrease in marketable securities related to the carrying value of Seadrill Partners and Archer common equity, and the mark to market valuation of our interest rate cap derivatives.

Other non-current assets were \$7.5 billion (2Q19: \$7.9 billion). The decrease was primarily due to a decline in investments in associated companies related to the impairment of the Seadrill Partners investment and normal depreciation of our drilling units net of capital expenditures.

Current liabilities were \$0.7 billion (2Q19: \$0.6 billion). Current debt increased by \$111 million related to amortization payments of secured bank debt scheduled in Q3 2020 becoming current.

Non-current liabilities were \$6.7 billion (2Q19: \$6.8 billion). The decrease was primarily due to long-term debt becoming current. These were partially offset by PIK interest on the Senior Secured Notes.

Equity and redeemable non-controlling interest was \$2.0 billion (2Q19: \$2.6 billion), primarily reflecting the net loss for the quarter.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

Total cash of \$1.4 billion was comprised of \$1.2 billion of unrestricted cash and \$229 million of restricted cash. Total restricted cash was comprised of \$130 million primarily related to a cash collateral for a bank guarantee facility, \$80 million posted as collateral whilst we appeal the Brazilian tax ruling and approximately \$19 million held in a mandatory offer account to be used to redeem the Senior Secured Notes once certain thresholds are met.

The first scheduled amortization installments under our secured bank facilities are in Q1 2020. Under the terms of the bank financing agreements we have the ability to defer up to \$500 million of amortization payments (Amortization Conversion Election facility or "ACE"). Subsequent to the quarter end we have issued the first utilisation notification to use approximately \$63 million of this facility relating to Q1 2020 amortization payments and we will make subsequent amortization deferrals through 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 the first five quarters of amortization.

Order Backlog

Order Backlog at September 30, 2019 was approximately \$1.8 billion of which approximately \$220 million is expected to be consumed in the remainder of 2019. The decrease in Backlog reflects the replacement of legacy contracts by contracts at more recent dayrates.

Figures in USD billion at September 30, 2019 June 30, 2019 March 31, 2019
Quarter end Order Backlog1 1.8 1.9 2.0

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 third quarter we added approximately \$123 million in backlog primarily related to the following contracts:

  • The West Neptune secured a one year contract with LLOG in the US Gulf of Mexico in direct continuation with its existing contract. Total contract value is approximately \$74 million with commencement expected in Q4 2019.
  • AOD II was awarded a three month extension with Saudi Aramco expected to run through mid-October. Total contract value added is approximately \$10 million.
  • The West Callisto was awarded a four month extension with Saudi Aramco expected to run through Q4 2019. Total contract value added is approximately \$8 million.

Following the quarter end, we added \$261 million in backlog primarily relating to the following contracts:

  • The West Tellus secured a two year contract with Petrobras in Brazil in direct continuation with its existing contract. Total contract value is approximately \$170 million, inclusive of managed pressure drilling and ancillary services, with commencement expected in Q4 2019.
  • The West Carina secured a four well contract with up to six optional wells with PTTEP, formerly Murphy, in Malaysia. Total contract value for the firm portion of the contract is expected to be approximately \$47 million, inclusive of ROV services. Commencement is expected in January 2020 and running through June 2020. The options could add up to an estimated 8 months of term.
  • Equinor exercised an option on the West Hercules expected to run through until Q2 2020. Total contract value added is approximately \$10 million.
  • Neptune Energy added an additional well to the start of the West Phoenix contract in Norway expected to commence Q1 2020. Total contract value added is approximately \$11 million.
  • AOD II was awarded a six month extension at the existing dayrate with Saudi Aramco expected to run through Q2 2020. Total contract value added is approximately \$19 million.

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:

As at September 30, 2019 Floaters Jack-ups and tender rigs Total
Operating 6 6 12
Economic utilization 94% 99% 95%
Future contracted 3 3
Idle 3 2 5
Total 12 8 20

The majority of our interests are equity accounted for and these investments, excluding exceptional items, contributed a \$33 million loss to our Q3 results (2Q19: \$23 million loss) after taking into account the unwind of basis differences associated with fresh start accounting. The additional loss is primarily due to lower operating revenues in Seabras Sapura and lower net income from Seadrill Partners.

Our common units in Seadrill Partners and equity stake in Archer are accounted for as marketable securities and in aggregate contributed a \$10 million loss in the quarter (2Q19: \$14 million loss) due a reduction in share prices over the quarter.

RigCo subsidiaries:

Gulfdrill

Gulfdrill, our 50:50 joint venture with GDI, initially will manage and operate five premium jack-ups in Qatar with Qatar Petroleum. The five firm well based contracts will have staggered commencements throughout 2020 with initial terms concluding in 2023 & 2024. The total contract value is expected to be \$656 million, inclusive of mobilization fees. Each contract has five single well options which could add up to an estimated 13.7 cumulative years of term and an additional contract value of \$700 million. Gulfdrill will initially bareboat charter the West Telesto and West Castor from Seadrill and has secured bareboat charters for three additional units from a third-party shipyard. Subsequent to quarter end, the third-party shipyard has taken delivery of the first unit.

Sonadrill

Sonadrill, our 50:50 joint venture with Sonangol, will operate four drillships focusing on opportunities in Angolan waters. Two newbuild drillships owned by Sonangol, the Libongos and Quenguela, have been delivered. The Libongos has commenced a nine well contract which is expected to run until early 2021 with a total contract value of approximately \$101 million. The Quenguela is currently mobilizing to Angola. A further two Seadrill-owned or managed units are expected to be bareboated into the joint venture.

NSNCo subsidiaries:

Seadrill Partners

Through a combination of ownership methods, we have an economic interest in Seadrill Partners of approximately 65%. Seadrill Partners owns and operates 8 ultra deepwater drilling units and 3 tender rigs. Revenues for the third quarter were \$185 million and adjusted EBITDA was \$92 million. As at September 30, 2019 it had backlog of \$598 million, cash and cash equivalents of \$654 million and total debt of \$2.9 billion.

SeaMex Limited

We own 50% of SeaMex Limited, a joint venture with Fintech. It owns and operates 5 jack-up drilling units located in Mexico which are all on contract with Pemex and conclude between 2021 and 2023. Revenues for the third quarter were \$62 million and EBITDA was \$38 million. As at September 30, 2019, it had backlog of \$1.0 billion, total cash of \$126 million, bank debt of \$243 million and two loans, including interest, from Seadrill totaling approximately \$416 million.

Seabras Sapura

We own 50% of Seabras Sapura, a joint venture with Sapura Energy, that owns and operates 6 pipe-laying service vessels in Brazil. 5 units are on contract with Petrobras and conclude between 2019 to 2024. During the quarter the Topazio pipe laying vessel was awarded a contract by Petrobras in Brazil commencing in late October 2019 and running through December 2020. Revenues for the third quarter were \$104 million and EBITDA was \$60 million. As at September 30, 2019 it had backlog of \$1.3 billion, total cash of \$189 million and bank debt of \$696 million.

Archer Limited

We own a 15.7% stake in Archer, a global oilfield service company that specializes in drilling and well services. Revenues for the third quarter were \$228 million and EBITDA was \$23.4 million. As of September 30, 2019, it had total cash of \$18.7 million and debt of \$587 million. We have a subordinated convertible loan which matures in December 2021 and has a conversion right into equity of Archer Limited in 2021 based on a strike price of US\$2.083 per share.

As part of the Seadrill restructuring process, cross default risk between Seadrill Limited and its NSNCo non-consolidated entities referred to above was eliminated. The interests in these assets have been pledged as security to the senior secured notes and we believe have significant collateral value. We remain focused on retiring the senior secured notes to release this value.

Trading Outlook and Guidance for Fourth Quarter

Near term activity in the floater market is being driven predominantly by short term, well based programs. Looking forward, there has been an increase in tenders for longer term programs, especially in Africa and Brazil. We expect these programs to improve forward utilization and continue to deliver improved pricing. There is continued bifurcation for high specification assets with utilization for 7 th generation drillships approaching 90% and utilization for 6 th generation drillships in the mid 80% range. We believe our fleet is well positioned for these trends and remain confident in our strategy of prioritizing pricing over utilization.

In the jack-up market, contract terms are increasing along with fixture volume driven primarily by activity in the Middle East and South East Asia. There continues to be bifurcation between premium and standard jack-ups with marketed utilization for premium jack-ups approaching 90%. We expect to see an improvement in rates going forward which may open the opportunity to reactivate premium jack-ups later in 2020 on a limited time scale.

For the Fourth Quarter 2019 we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately \$40 million, reflecting the further completion of legacy contracts and the West Saturn becoming idle.

Board Changes

Effective 21 November 2019 certain planned board changes have been implemented. John Fredriksen is retiring from the Board as Chairman but he will maintain an active participation in the management of Hemen Holding Limited's investment in Seadrill. He will be replaced by Glen Ole Rødland who has extensive experience in the sector and is currently Chairman of both Prosafe and AqualisBraemar. Mr Rødland is a former partner of Norwegian investment company Ferncliff and fund manager HitecVision.

Additionally, as part of the Board succession planning process Harald Thorstein has resigned from the Board and will be replaced by Gunnar Winther Eliassen. Mr Eliassen is employed by Seatankers Management, a company affiliated with the Company's largest shareholder Hemen Holding Limited. Prior to joining Seatankers Management, Mr Eliassen was partner at Pareto Securities.

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.
