Vantage Drilling International Reports Third Quarter Results for 2017

HOUSTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE) November 7, 2017 — Vantage Drilling International (“Vantage” or the “Company”) reported a net loss of approximately $40.1 million or $8.01 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of $41.5 million or $8.31 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Vantage continued to deliver solid operating results with rig uptime of 99% and revenue efficiency of 101%. At the end of the quarter, we began the mobilization of the Platinum Explorer to offshore India under a three year contract. The reactivation was ahead of schedule and under budget.

As of September 30, 2017, Vantage had approximately $198.6 million of available cash. Uses of cash during the quarter included, among other things, debt service costs, non-recurring professional fees related to litigation and arbitration matters and the re-activation of the Platinum Explorer.

Ihab Toma, CEO, commented. “I am pleased to report that all our jackups have been deployed and that we have ended the quarter with the Platinum Explorer on its way to a three year contract for ONGC, in India. The re-activation of the Platinum Explorer was an extraordinary achievement, with all of our departments working in sync and with a clear objective. As a result, we have maintained our strong liquidity position, noting that the remaining expenditures associated with the Platinum Explorer deployment should be mostly offset by the collection of the contractual mobilization fee.”

Vantage, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an offshore drilling contractor, with a fleet of three ultra-deepwater drillships, four premium jackup drilling rigs, and one standard jackup drilling rig. Vantage’s primary business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells globally for major, national and large independent oil and natural gas companies. Vantage also provides construction supervision services for, and will operate and manage, drilling units owned by others.
