09 Mayo 2024 - 5:00AM
Vantage Drilling International Ltd. ("Vantage" or the “Company”)
reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of
approximately $2.9 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss attributable
to controlling interest of $2.3 million or $0.17 per diluted share
for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, Vantage had approximately
$67.0 million in cash, including $10.8 million of restricted cash,
compared to $84.0 million in cash, including $10.8 million of
restricted cash, at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024,

Services customers to address near-term obligations. Excluding cash
used in connection with our Managed Services customers, the Company
used $8.6 million of cash in operating activities during the first
quarter of 2024.
Ihab Toma, CEO, commented: "The first quarter
embodies our unwavering commitment to achieving improved
operational performance. We are currently undertaking significant
upgrade projects on the Topaz Driller and the Platinum Explorer
that will facilitate the transition of our rigs to contracts with
higher day rates and enhance their long-term appeal and
marketability."
Mr. Toma continued, “The Company delivered solid
performance in the first quarter of 2024 achieving approximately
$15.6 million of EBITDA. These results are indicative of the
ongoing dedication and hard work of our organization during this
transitional period.”

Non-GAAP Measures
We report our financial results in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United
States. However, in our earnings release and during our earnings
calls we may reference company information that does not conform to
GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical
measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash
flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally
excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors
because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating
results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the
financial results of the Company. However, these measures should
not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for GAAP measures
of performance, and these non-GAAP measures may not be consistent
with previously published Company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and
8-K. Non-GAAP measures we may reference have been reconciled to the
nearest GAAP measure in the tables entitled Reconciliation of GAAP
to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

(1) EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest income
(expense), (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation
and amortization expense. EBITDA is not a financial measure under
GAAP as defined under the rules of the SEC, and is intended as a
supplemental measure of our performance. We believe this measure is
commonly used by analysts and investors to analyze and compare
companies on the basis of operating performance. |
