FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and similar words and specifically include statements regarding expected financial performance; the proposed merger with Atwood Oceanics, Inc. ("Atwood"); dividends; expected utilization, day rates, revenues, operating expenses, contract terms, contract backlog, capital expenditures, insurance, financing and funding; the timing of availability, delivery, mobilization, contract commencement or relocation or other movement of rigs and the timing thereof; future rig construction (including construction in progress and completion thereof), enhancement, upgrade or repair and timing and cost thereof; the suitability of rigs for future contracts; the offshore drilling market, including supply and demand, customer drilling programs, stacking of rigs, effects of new rigs on the market and effects of declines in commodity prices; general market, business and industry conditions, trends and outlook; future operations; the impact of increasing regulatory complexity; our program to high-grade the rig fleet by investing in new equipment and divesting selected assets and underutilized rigs; expense management; and the likely outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or insurance or other claims or contract disputes and the timing thereof.

Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to vary materially from those indicated, including:  

• our ability to complete the merger with Atwood;

• failure, difficulties and delays in meeting conditions required for closing set forth in the Atwood merger agreement;

• our ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approval and satisfy the other conditions to the consummation of the merger with Atwood;

• the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the merger with Atwood on relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers, competitors, lenders and credit rating agencies;

• our ability to successfully integrate Atwood's operations and employees and to realize synergies and cost savings;

• changes in future levels of drilling activity and expenditures by our customers, whether as a result of global capital markets and liquidity, prices of oil and natural gas or otherwise, which may cause us to idle or stack additional rigs;

• changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition or technology, including as a result of delivery of newbuild drilling rigs;

• downtime and other risks associated with offshore rig operations, including rig or equipment failure, damage and other unplanned repairs, the limited availability of transport vessels, hazards, self-imposed drilling limitations and other delays due to severe storms and hurricanes and the limited availability or high cost of insurance coverage for certain offshore perils, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico or associated removal of wreckage or debris;

• governmental action, terrorism, piracy, military action and political and economic uncertainties, including uncertainty or instability resulting from civil unrest, political demonstrations, mass strikes, or an escalation or additional outbreak of armed hostilities or other crises in oil or natural gas producing areas of the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa or other geographic areas, which may result in expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or deprivation of our assets or suspension and/or termination of contracts based on force majeure events;

1

• risks inherent to shipyard rig construction, repair, modification or upgrades, unexpected delays in equipment delivery, engineering, design or commissioning issues following delivery, or changes in the commencement, completion or service dates;

• possible cancellation, suspension, renegotiation or termination (with or without cause) of drilling contracts as a result of general and industry-specific economic conditions, mechanical difficulties, performance or other reasons;

• our ability to enter into, and the terms of, future drilling contracts, including contracts for our newbuild units, for rigs currently idled and for rigs whose contracts are expiring;

• the outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or other claims or contract disputes, including any inability to collect receivables or resolve significant contractual or day rate disputes, any renegotiation, nullification, cancellation or breach of contracts with customers or other parties and any failure to execute definitive contracts following announcements of letters of intent;

• governmental regulatory, legislative and permitting requirements affecting drilling operations, including limitations on drilling locations (such as the Gulf of Mexico during hurricane season);

• new and future regulatory, legislative or permitting requirements, future lease sales, changes in laws, rules and regulations that have or may impose increased financial responsibility, additional oil spill abatement contingency plan capability requirements and other governmental actions that may result in claims of force majeure or otherwise adversely affect our existing drilling contracts, operations or financial results;

• our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel on commercially reasonable terms, whether due to labor regulations, unionization or otherwise;

• environmental or other liabilities, risks, damages or losses, whether related to storms or hurricanes (including wreckage or debris removal), collisions, groundings, blowouts, fires, explosions, other accidents, terrorism or otherwise, for which insurance coverage and contractual indemnities may be insufficient, unenforceable or otherwise unavailable;

• our ability to obtain financing and pursue other business opportunities may be limited by our debt levels, debt agreement restrictions and the credit ratings assigned to our debt by independent credit rating agencies;

• tax matters, including our effective tax rates, tax positions, results of audits, changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations, tax assessments and liabilities for taxes;

• delays in contract commencement dates or the cancellation of drilling programs by operators;

• adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including their effect on the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments; and

• potential long-lived asset impairments.

In addition to the numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions described above, you should also carefully read and consider "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part II of this report and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Ensco plc:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Ensco plc and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Ensco plc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 -Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Ensco plc and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Ensco," "our," "we" or "us") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") included in the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The financial information included in this report is unaudited but, in our opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from our 2016 audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related revenues and expenses and disclosures of gain and loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The financial data for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 included herein have been subjected to a limited review by KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The accompanying independent registered public accounting firm's review report is not a report within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act, and the independent registered public accounting firm's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.

Results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017.  We recommend these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 27, 2017.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On May 29, 2017, Ensco plc entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Echo Merger Sub LLC ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc, and Atwood Oceanics, Inc. ("Atwood"), pursuant to which Ensco plc will acquire Atwood in an all-stock transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into Atwood (the "Merger"), with Atwood continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Atwood common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.60 Class A ordinary shares of Ensco plc ("Ensco shares"). We estimate the total consideration to be delivered in the Merger to be approximately $711 million, consisting of the delivery of approximately 134 million Ensco shares based on the closing price of Ensco shares of $5.32 on July 18, 2017. The value of the Merger consideration will fluctuate based on changes in the price of Ensco shares and the number of shares of Atwood common stock outstanding on the closing date.

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approval of the allotment and issuance of Ensco shares by Ensco plc shareholders and approval of the Merger by Atwood's shareholders. On June 27, 2017, Ensco and Atwood received notice from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2017, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to closing.

Operating Revenues and Expenses

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, operating revenues included $185.0 million for the lump-sum consideration received in settlement and release of the ENSCO DS-9 customer's ongoing early termination obligations and $20.0 million for the lump-sum consideration received in settlement of the ENSCO 8503 customer's remaining obligations under the contract. The ENSCO DS-9 contract was terminated for convenience by the customer in July 2015, whereby our customer was obligated to pay us monthly termination fees for two years under the termination provisions of the contract. The ENSCO 8503 contract was originally scheduled to expire in August 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“Update 2016-16”), which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transaction occurs as opposed to deferring tax consequences and amortizing them into future periods. We adopted Update 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2017. As a result of modified retrospective application, we reduced prepaid taxes on intercompany transfers of property and related deferred tax liabilities resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect reduction in retained earnings of $14.1 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2017. We do not expect a material impact to our 2017 operating results as a result of the adoption of Update 2016-16.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting("Update 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted Update 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. Our adoption of Update 2016-09 did not result in any cumulative effect on retained earnings and no adjustments have been made to prior periods. The new standard will cause volatility in our effective tax rates primarily due to the new requirement that companies recognize additional tax benefits or expenses in earnings related to the vesting or settlement of employee share-based awards, rather than in additional paid-in capital, during the period in which they occur. Furthermore, forfeitures are now recorded as they occur as opposed to estimating an allowance for future forfeitures.

During 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Update 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Subsequent to the issuance of Update 2014-09, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standards Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. Update 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and may be adopted using a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective with a cumulative catch-up approach. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2014-09 and Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Update 2016-02"), we expect to adopt Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect that Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Update 2016-02, which requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key qualitative and quantitative information about the entity's leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. During our evaluation of Update 2016-02, we have concluded that our drilling contracts contain a lease component, and upon adoption, we will be required to separately recognize revenues associated with the lease of our drilling rigs and the

11

provision of contract drilling services. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09, we expect to adopt both updates concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. Adoption will result in increased disclosure of the nature of our leasing arrangements and may result in variability in our revenue recognition patterns relative to current U.S. GAAP based on the provisions in each of our drilling contracts. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we expect to recognize lease liabilities and offsetting "right of use" assets ranging from approximately $60 million to $80 million upon adoption, based on our portfolio of leases as of June 30, 2017. We are currently evaluating the other impacts that Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 -Fair Value Measurements

The following fair value hierarchy table categorizes information regarding our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Assets

Our supplemental executive retirement plans (the "SERP") are non-qualified plans that provide eligible employees an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation for use after retirement. Assets held in the SERP were marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs and were included in other assets, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value measurement of assets held in the SERP was based on quoted market prices.

Derivatives

Our derivatives were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. See "Note 3 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives, including a description of our foreign currency hedging activities and related methodologies used to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The fair value measurement of our derivatives was based on market prices that are generally observable for similar assets or liabilities at commonly-quoted intervals.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments were as follows (in millions):

	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	256.0	$	255.0	$	480.2	$	485.0

Total	$	4,744.7	$	4,046.9	$	5,274.5	$	5,001.7

⁽¹⁾   Our exchangeable senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Convertible Notes") were issued with a conversion feature. The 2024 Convertible Notes were separated into their liability and equity components on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The equity component was initially recorded to additional paid-in capital and as a debt discount that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the instrument. Excluding the unamortized discount, the carrying amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes was $832.9 million and $830.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and debentures were determined using quoted market prices. The decline in the carrying value of long-term debt instruments from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the January 2017 debt exchange and debt repurchases as discussed in "Note 6 - Debt."

The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Our short-term investments consisted of time deposits with initial maturities in excess of three months but less than one year as of each respective balance sheet date.

Note 3 -Derivative Instruments

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to various market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange rate risk.

All derivatives were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements were not offset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in derivative fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  Net assets of $4.9 million and net liabilities of $8.8 million associated with our foreign currency forward contracts were included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months.  See "Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the fair value measurement of our derivatives.

Derivatives recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the following (in millions):

	Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities
	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

⁽¹⁾  Derivative assets and liabilities with maturity dates equal to or less than twelve months from the respective balance sheet date were included in other current assets and accrued liabilities and other, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽²⁾  Derivative assets and liabilities with maturity dates greater than twelve months from the respective balance sheet date were included in other assets, net, and other liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various currencies. As of June 30, 2017, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $173.7 million for various foreign currencies, including $81.7 million for British pounds, $33.7 million for Australian dollars, $22.8 million for euros, $22.3 million for Brazilian reais and $13.2 million for other currencies.

Gains and losses, net of tax, on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income were as follows (in millions):

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (Effective Portion)					Loss Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") into Income (Effective Portion)(1)						(Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivatives (Ineffective Portion and Amount Excluded from Effectiveness Testing)(2)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (Effective Portion)					Loss Reclassified from AOCI into Income (Effective Portion)(1)						(Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivatives (Ineffective Portion and Amount Excluded from Effectiveness Testing)(2)
	2017		2016			2017			2016			2017			2016

Total	$	6.0	$	(.6	)	$	(1.2	)	$	(7.9	)	$	(.4	)	$	1.9

⁽¹⁾ Changes in the effective portion of cash flow hedge fair values are recorded in AOCI.  Amounts recorded in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges are subsequently reclassified into contract drilling, depreciation or interest expense as earnings are affected by the underlying hedged forecasted transaction.

⁽²⁾ Gains and losses recognized in income for ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

⁽³⁾ Losses on interest rate lock derivatives reclassified from AOCI into income were included in interest expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

⁽⁴⁾  During the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, $400,000 of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $200,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, $2.2 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $200,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

⁽⁵⁾  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, $1.4 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $400,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, $8.2 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $400,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various methods to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities but do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments.  In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of June 30, 2017, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $131.3 million for various foreign currencies, including $86.5 million for euros, $9.6 million for Indonesian rupiah, $8.4 million for Australian dollars, $6.9 million for British pounds, $6.6 million for Brazilian reais, $6.5 million for Swiss francs and $6.8 million for other currencies.

Net gains of $5.7 million and net losses of $3.5 million associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net gains of $6.2 million and $900,000 associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These gains and losses were largely offset by net foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the respective periods.

15

As of June 30, 2017, the estimated amount of net gains associated with derivative instruments, net of tax, that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months totaled $1.7 million.

Note 4 - Noncontrolling Interests

Third parties hold a noncontrolling ownership interest in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests are classified as equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
(Loss) income from continuing operations	$	(44.7	)	$	592.8		$	(68.7	)	$	770.4
Income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests	(1.2		)	(2.0		)	(2.3		)	(3.4		)
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco	$	(45.9	)	$	590.8		$	(71.0	)	$	767.0

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share

We compute basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the two-class method. Net (loss) income attributable to Ensco used in our computations of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted to exclude net income allocated to non-vested shares granted to our employees and non-employee directors. Weighted-average shares outstanding used in our computation of diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and excludes non-vested shares.

The following table is a reconciliation of (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco shares used in our basic and diluted EPS computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco	$	(45.9	)	$	590.8		$	(71.0	)	$	767.0
Income from continuing operations allocated to non-vested share awards(1)	(.1		)	(9.8		)	(.2		)	(12.0		)
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco shares	$	(46.0	)	$	581.0		$	(71.2	)	$	755.0

⁽¹⁾ Losses are not allocated to non-vested share awards. Therefore, only dividends attributable to the our non-vested share awards are included in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Antidilutive share awards totaling 400,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, due to our net loss position, potentially dilutive share awards totaling 900,000 were also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. Antidilutive share awards totaling 500,000 and 600,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month ended June 30, 2016.

16

We have the option to settle our 2024 Convertible Notes in cash, shares or a combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount (i.e., our share price exceeds the exchange price on the date of conversion), we expect to deliver shares equal to the remainder of our conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount.

During each reporting period that our average share price exceeds the exchange price, an assumed number of shares required to settle the conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount will be included in our denominator for the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Our average share price did not exceed the exchange price during the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Note 6 -Debt

Exchange Offers

In January 2017, we completed exchange offers (the "Exchange Offers") to exchange our outstanding 8.50% senior notes due 2019, 6.875% senior notes due 2020 and 4.70% senior notes due 2021 for 8.00% senior notes due 2024 and cash. The Exchange Offers resulted in the tender of $649.5 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes that were settled and exchanged as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		8.00% Senior notes due 2024 Consideration		Cash Consideration(1)		Total Consideration
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	145.8	$	81.6	$	81.7	$	163.3
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	129.8		69.3		69.4		138.7
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	373.9		181.1		181.4		362.5
Total	$	649.5	$	332.0	$	332.5	$	664.5

⁽¹⁾   As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of principal repurchased with cash of $332.5 million, along with associated premiums, was classified as current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2017, we recognized a net pre-tax loss on the Exchange Offers of $6.2 million, consisting of a loss of $3.5 million that includes the write-off of premiums on tendered debt and $2.7 million of transaction costs.

Open Market Repurchases

During the first six months of 2017, we repurchased certain of our outstanding senior notes with cash on hand and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain, net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs. The aggregate repurchases were as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		Aggregate Repurchase Price(1)
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	54.6	$	60.1
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	100.1		105.1
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	39.4		39.3
Total	$	194.1	$	204.5

⁽¹⁾   Excludes accrued interest paid to holders of the repurchased senior notes.

17

Maturities

Our next debt maturity is $237.6 million during 2019, followed by $450.9 million and $269.7 million during 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Revolving Credit

We have a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to be used for general corporate purposes, of which $1.12 billion of availability expires on September 30, 2019 and $1.13 billion expires on September 30, 2020 (the "Credit Facility").

Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate (currently 0.50% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.50% per annum for LIBOR advances) depending on our credit rating. Also, our quarterly commitment fee is 0.225% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.25 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating.  Recent credit rating actions have resulted in the highest applicable margin rate on borrowings and our quarterly commitment fee.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60%. The Credit Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens; entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. We have the right, subject to receipt of commitments from new or existing lenders, to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility by an amount not exceeding $500 million and to extend the maturity of the commitments under the Credit Facility by one additional year.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt. As a result of recent rating actions, we no longer maintain an investment-grade status. Our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, could limit our available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing our debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants, which may further restrict our operations. With a credit rating below investment grade, we have no access to the commercial paper market.

Note 7 -Shareholders' Equity

As a U.K. company governed in part by the Companies Act, we cannot issue new shares (other than in limited circumstances) without being authorized by our shareholders. At our last annual general meeting held on May 22, 2017, our shareholders authorized the allotment of 101.1 million Class A ordinary shares (or 202.2 million Class A ordinary shares in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue or other similar issue) for a period up to the conclusion of our 2018 annual general meeting (or, if earlier, at the close of business on August 22, 2018).

Note 8 -Benefit Plans

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we granted 5.2 million non-vested share awards to our employees pursuant to our 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 4.5 million will be settled in cash upon vesting. Grants of our non-vested share awards generally vest at rates of 20% or 33% per year, as determined by a committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The non-vested share awards have dividend rights effective on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards to be settled in cash is remeasured each quarter with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in our share price. The weighted-average grant date fair value for our non-vested share awards that were granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $6.33.

18

Note 9 -Income Taxes

We have historically calculated our provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to pre-tax income or loss, excluding discrete items, for the reporting period. We determined that since small changes in estimated pre-tax income or loss would result in significant changes in our estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method utilized would not provide a reliable estimate of income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. We will continue to evaluate income tax estimates under the historical method in subsequent quarters and employ a discrete effective tax rate method if warranted.

Discrete income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $2.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to the Exchange Offers and debt repurchases, a restructuring transaction, the effective settlement of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits associated with a tax position taken in prior years and a settlement of a previously disclosed legal contingency. Discrete income tax expense of $2.0 million and $5.4 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, resulted primarily from the gain on debt extinguishment, income from the ENSCO DS-9 lump-sum consideration and restructuring transactions involving certain of our subsidiaries.

Note 10 -Contingencies

Brazil Internal Investigation

Pride International LLC, formerly Pride International, Inc. (“Pride”), a company we acquired in 2011, commenced drilling operations in Brazil in 2001. In 2008, Pride entered into a drilling services agreement with Petrobras (the "DSA") for ENSCO DS-5, a drillship ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries, a shipyard in South Korea ("SHI"). Beginning in 2006, Pride conducted periodic compliance reviews of its business with Petrobras, and, after the acquisition of Pride, Ensco conducted similar compliance reviews.

We commenced a compliance review in early 2015 after media reports were released regarding ongoing investigations of various kickback and bribery schemes in Brazil involving Petrobras. While conducting our compliance review, we became aware of an internal audit report by Petrobras alleging irregularities in relation to the DSA. Upon learning of the Petrobras internal audit report, our Audit Committee appointed independent counsel to lead an investigation into the alleged irregularities. Further, in June and July 2015, we voluntarily contacted the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), respectively, to advise them of this matter and our Audit Committee’s investigation. Independent counsel, under the direction of our Audit Committee, has substantially completed its investigation by reviewing and analyzing available documents and correspondence and interviewing current and former employees involved in the DSA negotiations and the negotiation of the ENSCO DS-5 construction contract with SHI (the "DS-5 Construction Contract").

To date, our Audit Committee has found no evidence that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were aware of or involved in any wrongdoing, and our Audit Committee has found no evidence linking Ensco or Pride to any illegal acts committed by our former marketing consultant, who provided services to Pride and Ensco in connection with the DSA. Independent counsel has continued to provide the SEC and DOJ with updates throughout the investigation, including detailed briefings regarding its investigation and findings. We entered into one-year tolling agreement with the DOJ that expired in December 2016. We extended a tolling agreement with the SEC for 12 months until March 2018.

Subsequent to initiating our Audit Committee investigation, Brazilian court documents connected to the prosecution of former Petrobras directors and employees as well as certain other third parties, including our former marketing consultant, referenced the alleged irregularities cited in the Petrobras internal audit report. Our former marketing consultant has entered into a plea agreement with the Brazilian authorities. On January 10, 2016, Brazilian authorities filed an indictment against a former Petrobras director. This indictment states that the former Petrobras

19

director received bribes paid out of proceeds from a brokerage agreement entered into for purposes of intermediating a drillship construction contract between SHI and Pride, which we believe to be the DS-5 Construction Contract. The parties to the brokerage agreement were a company affiliated with a person acting on behalf of the former Petrobras director, a company affiliated with our former marketing consultant, and SHI. The indictment alleges that amounts paid by SHI under the brokerage agreement ultimately were used to pay bribes to the former Petrobras director. The indictment does not state that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were involved in the bribery scheme or had any knowledge of the bribery scheme.

On January 4, 2016, we received a notice from Petrobras declaring the DSA void effective immediately. Petrobras’ notice alleges that our former marketing consultant both received and procured improper payments from SHI for employees of Petrobras and that Pride had knowledge of this activity and assisted in the procurement of and/or facilitated these improper payments. We disagree with Petrobras’ allegations. See "-DSA Dispute" below for additional information.

Outside of Petrobras’ allegations, we have not been contacted by any Brazil governmental authority regarding alleged wrongdoing by Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees related to this matter. We cannot predict whether any U.S., Brazilian or other governmental authority will seek to investigate Pride's involvement in this matter, or if a proceeding were opened, the scope or ultimate outcome of any such investigation. If the SEC or DOJ determines that violations of the FCPA have occurred, or if any governmental authority determines that we have violated applicable anti-bribery laws, they could seek civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us, as well as changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Although our internal investigation is substantially complete, we cannot predict whether any additional allegations will be made or whether any additional facts relevant to the investigation will be uncovered during the course of the investigation and what impact those allegations and additional facts will have on the timing or conclusions of the investigation. Our Audit Committee will examine any such additional allegations and additional facts and the circumstances surrounding them.

DSA Dispute

As described above, on January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a notice to us declaring the DSA void effective immediately, reserving its rights and stating its intention to seek any restitution to which it may be entitled. We disagree with Petrobras’ declaration that the DSA is void. We believe that Petrobras repudiated the DSA and have therefore accepted the DSA as terminated on April 8, 2016 (the "Termination Date"). At this time, we cannot reasonably determine the validity of Petrobras' claim or the range of our potential exposure, if any. As a result, there can be no assurance as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.

We did not recognize revenue for amounts owed to us under the DSA from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 through the Termination Date, as we concluded that collectability of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, our receivables from Petrobras related to the DSA from prior to the fourth quarter of 2015 are fully reserved in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. We have initiated arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against Petrobras seeking payment of all amounts owed to us under the DSA, in addition to any other amounts to which we are entitled, and intend to vigorously pursue our claims. Petrobras subsequently filed a counterclaim seeking restitution of certain sums paid under the DSA less value received by Petrobras under the DSA. We have also initiated separate arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against SHI for any losses we have incurred in connection with the foregoing. SHI subsequently filed a statement of defense disputing our claim. There can be no assurance as to how these arbitration proceedings will ultimately be resolved.

Customer Dispute

A customer filed a lawsuit in Texas federal court against one of our subsidiaries claiming damages based on allegations that our subsidiary breached and was negligent in the performance of a drilling contract during the period beginning in mid-2011 through May 2012. The customer's court documents alleged damages totaling approximately $40 million.During the second quarter, we settled the lawsuit and agreed to pay the customer $9.8 million, which was recognized in contract drilling expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On June 23, 2017, a putative class action captioned Bernard Stern v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood, Atwood’s directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub. The Stern complaint generally alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors disseminated a false or misleading registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) on June 16, 2017, which omitted material information regarding the proposed Merger, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the Stern complaint alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors omitted material information regarding the parties’ financial projections, the analysis performed by Atwood’s financial advisor, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), in support of its fairness opinion, the timing and nature of communications regarding post-transaction employment of Atwood's directors and officers, potential conflicts of interest of Goldman Sachs, and whether there were further discussions with another potential acquirer of Atwood following the May 30, 2017 announcement of the Merger. The Stern complaint further alleges that the Atwood directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub are liable for these violations as “control persons” of Atwood under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. With respect to Ensco plc, the Stern complaint alleges that Ensco plc had direct supervisory control over the composition of the Registration Statement. The Stern complaint seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger is consummated, and an award of attorneys’ fees, in addition to other relief.

On June 27, 2017, June 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, additional putative class actions captioned Joseph Composto v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, Booth Family Trust v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al and Mary Carter v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., respectively, were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood and Atwood’s directors. These actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by Atwood and Atwood’s directors similar to those alleged in the Stern complaint; however, neither Ensco plc nor Merger Sub is named as a defendant in these actions.

Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may be filed in the future. There can be no assurance that we or any of the other defendants will be successful in the outcome of these or any potential future lawsuits. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the Merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the completion of the Merger. We believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the lawsuit filed against us and any other future lawsuits challenging the transaction.

Other Matters

In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

21

In the ordinary course of business with customers and others, we have entered into letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2017 totaled $50.6 million and were issued under facilities provided by various banks and other financial institutions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of June 30, 2017, we had not been required to make collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

Note 11 -Segment Information

Our business consists of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includes our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which consists of management services on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups, provide one service, contract drilling.

Segment information for the three-month and six-month periods ended 2017 and 2016 is presented below (in millions). General and administrative expense and depreciation expense incurred by our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income and are included in "Reconciling Items." We measure segment assets as property and equipment.

Concentration of Risk

We are exposed to credit risk relating to our receivables from customers, our cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments and our use of derivatives in connection with the management of foreign currency exchange rate risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to receivables from customers, which consist primarily of major international, government-owned and independent oil and gas companies, by performing ongoing credit evaluations. We also maintain reserves for potential credit losses, which generally have been within management's expectations. We mitigate our credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by focusing on diversification and quality of instruments. Cash equivalents consist of a portfolio of high-grade instruments. Custody of cash and cash equivalents is maintained at several well-capitalized financial institutions, and we monitor the financial condition of those financial institutions.  

We mitigate our credit risk relating to derivative counterparties through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events or set-off provisions.  Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.  See "Note 3 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 included elsewhere herein and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report and elsewhere in this quarterly report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Business

We are one of the leading providers of offshore contract drilling services to the international oil and gas industry. We currently own and operate an offshore drilling rig fleet of 53 rigs, with drilling operations in most of the strategic markets around the globe. We also have two rigs under construction. Our rig fleet consists of eight drillships, 10 dynamically positioned semisubmersible rigs, three moored semisubmersible rigs and 34 jackup rigs. Our offshore rig fleet is one of the world's largest amongst competitive rigs, including one of the newest ultra-deepwater fleets in the industry and a leading premium jackup fleet.

Two of our older, less capable rigs are marketed for sale as part of our fleet high-grading strategy and classified as held-for-sale.

Our Industry

Oil prices have rebounded significantly off the 12-year lows experienced during 2016 and have generally stabilized between $45 to $55 per barrel since late last year. We expect market conditions to remain challenging as current contracts expire and new contracts are executed at lower rates. While commodity prices have improved, they have not yet improved to a level that supports increased rig demand sufficient to absorb existing supply and improve pricing power. We believe the current market dynamics will not change until we see a further sustained recovery in commodity prices and/or reduction in rig supply.

While industry conditions remain challenging, customer inquiries have increased in recent months, particularly with respect to shallow-water projects. Despite the increase in customer activity, recent contract awards have generally been for short-term work, subject to an extremely competitive bidding process. The significant oversupply of rigs continues to put downward pressure on day rates, resulting in certain cases whereby rates approximate, or are slightly lower than, direct operating expenses.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On May 29, 2017, Ensco plc entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Echo Merger Sub LLC ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc, and Atwood Oceanics, Inc. ("Atwood"), pursuant to which Ensco plc will acquire Atwood in an all-stock transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into Atwood (the "Merger"), with Atwood continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Atwood common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.60 Class A ordinary shares of Ensco plc ("Ensco shares"). We estimate the total consideration to be delivered in the Merger to be approximately $711 million, consisting of the delivery of approximately 134 million Ensco shares based on the closing price of Ensco shares of $5.32 on July 18, 2017. The value of the Merger consideration will fluctuate based on changes in the price of Ensco shares and the number of shares of Atwood common stock outstanding on the closing date.

41

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approval of the allotment and issuance of Ensco shares by Ensco plc shareholders and approval of the Merger by Atwood's shareholders. On June 27, 2017, Ensco and Atwood received notice from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2017, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to closing.

Liquidity Position

We have historically relied on our cash flow from continuing operations to meet liquidity needs and fund the majority of our cash requirements. We periodically rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to supplement our liquidity needs. Based on our balance sheet, our contractual backlog and $2.25 billion available under our revolving credit facility, we expect to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, as well as working capital requirements, from cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, operating cash flows, and, if necessary, funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility or other future financing arrangements. We remain focused on our liquidity and over the past year have executed several transactions to significantly improve our financial position.

Cash and Debt

As of June 30, 2017, we had $4.7 billion in total debt outstanding, representing approximately 36.7% of our total capitalization. We also had $1.9 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and a $2.25 billion undrawn senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Of the $2.25 billion Credit Facility, $1.12 billion expires in September 2019 and the remaining $1.13 billion expires in September 2020. The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60%.

In January 2017, through a private-exchange transaction, we repurchased $649.5 million of our outstanding debt with $332.5 million of cash and $332.0 million of newly issued 8.00% senior notes due 2024.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased $194.1 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding debt for $204.5 million of cash on the open market and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain, net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs.

Our next debt maturity is $237.6 million during 2019, followed by $450.9 million and $269.7 million during 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2017, our backlog was $3.3 billion as compared to $3.6 billion as of December 31, 2016. Our backlog declined primarily due to revenues realized during the first half of the year, partially offset by new contract awards and contract extensions. As current contracts expire, we will likely experience further declines in backlog, which will result in a decline in revenues and operating cash flows over the near-term. Contract backlog includes the impact of drilling contracts signed or terminated after each respective balance sheet date but prior to filing each annual and quarterly report on February 28, 2017 and July 27, 2017, respectively.

42

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Floaters

The floater contracting environment continues to be challenged by reduced demand, as well as excess newbuild supply. Floater demand has declined significantly in recent years due to lower commodity prices which have caused our customers to rationalize capital expenditures, resulting in the cancellation and delay of drilling programs. We expect this trend to continue until we see a further sustained recovery in commodity prices.

During the second quarter, we executed contracts for ENSCO DS-10 and ENSCO DS-4 for one-year and two-year terms, respectively. The contracts contain five one-year priced options for ENSCO DS-10 and a one-year priced option for ENSCO DS-4. We have provided notice to the shipyard to accelerate delivery and the final milestone payment of $75.0 million for ENSCO DS-10 into the third quarter of 2017 that were previously deferred into 2019. We expect ENSCO DS-10 to commence drilling operations offshore Nigeria during the first quarter of 2018. ENSCO DS-4 was reactivated during the first half of the year and has mobilized to Nigeria to commence drilling operations during the third quarter. We also executed short-term contracts for ENSCO DS-7, ENSCO 8503 and ENSCO 8505.

Currently, there are approximately 45 competitive newbuild drillships and semisubmersible rigs reported to be under construction, of which approximately 30 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2018. Most newbuild floaters are uncontracted. Several newbuild deliveries have been delayed into future years, and we expect that more uncontracted newbuilds will be delayed or cancelled.

Drilling contractors have retired nearly 80 floaters since the beginning of the downturn. Approximately 40 floaters older than 30 years of age are currently idle, and approximately 25 floaters greater than 30 years old have contracts that will expire by the end of 2018 without follow-on work. Operating costs associated with keeping these rigs idle as well as expenditures required to recertify these aging rigs may prove cost prohibitive. Drilling contractors will likely elect to scrap or cold-stack the majority of these rigs.

Jackups

Demand for jackups has improved with increased tendering activity observed in recent months following historic lows; however, contract terms generally have been short-term in nature and rates remain depressed due to the oversupply of rigs.

During the first quarter, we executed a four-year contract for ENSCO 92 as well as several short-term contracts and contract extensions for ENSCO 68, ENSCO 75, ENSCO 87, ENSCO 106 and ENSCO 107.

During the second quarter, we executed three-year contracts for ENSCO 110 and ENSCO 120 and a 400-day contract for ENSCO 102. We also executed short-term contracts and contract extensions for ENSCO 72, ENSCO 107, ENSCO 121 and ENSCO 122.

In April, we received a notice of termination for convenience for the ENSCO 104 contract effective in May 2017, which was expected to end in January 2018. In June, we received a notice of termination for convenience for the ENSCO 71 contract effective in August 2017, which was expected to end in July 2018.

During the second quarter, we sold ENSCO 56, ENSCO 86, ENSCO 90 and ENSCO 99, which had previously been classified as held-for-sale and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain. We also began marketing ENSCO 52 for sale and classified the rig as held-for-sale on our June 30, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Currently, there are approximately 100 competitive newbuild jackup rigs reported to be under construction, of which approximately 80 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2018. Most newbuild jackups are uncontracted. Over the past year, some jackup orders have been cancelled, and many newbuild jackups have been delayed. We expect that additional rigs may be delayed or cancelled given limited contracting opportunities.

43

Drilling contractors have retired more than 30 jackups since the beginning of the downturn. Approximately 90 jackups older than 30 years of age are idle. Furthermore, approximately 65 jackups that are 30 years of age or older have contracts that expire before the end of 2018, and these rigs may be unable to find additional work. Operating costs associated with keeping these rigs idle as well as expenditures required to recertify these aging rigs may prove cost prohibitive. Drilling contractors will likely elect to scrap or cold-stack some or all of these rigs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table summarizes our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016

Net (loss) income attributable to Ensco	$	(45.5	)	$	590.6		$	(71.2	)	$	765.9

Excluding the impact of ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO 8503 lump-sum termination payments received during the second quarter of 2016 totaling $205.0 million, revenues declined $247.1 million, or 35%, and $590.0 million, or 39%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. These declines were due primarily to fewer days under contract across the fleet, lower average day rates and the contract terminations and sale of ENSCO 6003 and ENSCO 6004.

Contract drilling expense declined $58.9 million, or 17%, and $144.5 million, or 20%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to rig stackings and the contract termination and sale of ENSCO 6003 and ENSCO 6004. This decline was partially offset by costs to settle a previously disclosed legal contingency and contract preparation costs for certain rigs.

Depreciation expense declined $4.5 million, or 4%, and $8.6 million, or 4%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to the extension of useful lives for certain contracted rigs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 11%, and $5.7 million, or 11%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increase as compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to $4.2 million in transaction costs related to the proposed Merger.

Other income, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 included gains on debt extinguishment of $260.8 million related to our 2016 tender offers and subsequent open market repurchases.

44

A significant number of our drilling contracts are of a long-term nature. Accordingly, an increase or decline in demand for contract drilling services generally affects our operating results and cash flows gradually over future quarters as long-term contracts expire. We expect operating results to decline during 2017 and into 2018 as long-term contracts expire, and our rigs either go uncontracted or we renew contracts at significantly lower rates.

Rig Counts, Utilization and Average Day Rates

The following table summarizes our offshore drilling rigs by reportable segment, rigs under construction and rigs held-for-sale as of June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	2017	2016
Floaters	19	19
Jackups(1) (2)	32	36
Under construction(2)	2	4
Held-for-sale(1) (3)	2	2
Total	55	61

⁽¹⁾  During the third quarter of 2016, we classified ENSCO 53 and ENSCO 94 as held-for-sale. During the first quarter of 2017, we classified ENSCO 56, ENSCO 86 and ENSCO 99 as held-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2017, we classified ENSCO 52 as held-for-sale.

⁽²⁾  During the third and fourth quarter of 2016, we accepted delivery of ENSCO 140 and ENSCO 141, respectively.

⁽³⁾  During the fourth quarter of 2016, we sold ENSCO 53 and ENSCO 94. During the second quarter of 2017, we sold ENSCO 56, ENSCO 86, ENSCO 90 and ENSCO 99.

The following table summarizes our rig utilization and average day rates by reportable segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Rig Utilization(1)
Floaters	43		%	57		%	45		%	60		%
Jackups	64		%	63		%	64		%	65		%
Total	56		%	61		%	57		%	63		%
Average Day Rates(2)
Floaters	$	338,675		$	359,575		$	337,611		$	362,427
Jackups	88,583			111,791			87,468			115,067
Total	$	155,946		$	194,754		$	156,200		$	201,805

⁽¹⁾  Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of days under contract by the number of days in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is earned but is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example when a rig earns revenue while mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in the shipyard, the related days are excluded from days under contract.

For newly-constructed or acquired rigs, the number of days in the period begins upon commencement of drilling operations for rigs with a contract or when the rig becomes available for drilling operations for rigs without a contract.

45

⁽²⁾  Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable revenues, lump-sum revenues and revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the aggregate number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days associated with certain mobilizations, demobilizations, shipyard contracts and standby contracts.

Operating Income

Our business consists of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includes our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which currently consists of management services on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups, provide one service, contract drilling.

Segment information is presented below (in millions).  General and administrative expense and depreciation expense incurred by our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income and were included in "Reconciling Items."

Floaters

Excluding the impact of ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO 8503 lump-sum termination payments received during the second quarter of 2016 totaling $205.0 million, revenues declined $167.4 million, or 39%, and $395.2 million, or 42%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The declines were due primarily to fewer days under contract across the fleet, lower average day rates, the contract terminations and sale of ENSCO 6003 and ENSCO 6004 and the ENSCO DS-7 contract termination. The declines were partially offset by a higher average day rate for ENSCO DS-6 while operating in Egypt.

Floater contract drilling expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 declined $63.0 million, or 30%, and $127.9 million, or 30%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to rig stackings and the contract terminations and sale of ENSCO 6003 and ENSCO 6004. These declines were partially offset by costs to settle a previously disclosed legal contingency and contract preparation costs for certain rigs.

Floater depreciation expense declined by $5.8 million, or 7%, and $13.3 million, or 8%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods due to the extension of useful lives for certain contracted assets.

Jackups

Jackup revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 declined $72.4 million, or 29%, and $178.5 million, or 34%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to fewer days under contract and lower average day rates.

47

Jackup contract drilling expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 increased $10.0 million, or 8%, as compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher maintenance costs associated with shipyard projects and contract preparation costs. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, jackup contract drilling expense declined $5.9 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year period as fewer rig operating days more than offset the aforementioned increase in costs.

Jackup depreciation expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017increased$1.5 million, or 5%, and $5.0 million, or 9%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods due to additions across the fleet.

Other Income (Expense)

The following table summarizes other income (expense) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Interest income	$	7.6		$	2.5		$	14.8		$	4.8
Interest expense, net:
Interest expense	(73.9		)	(66.7		)	(149.3		)	(143.9		)
Capitalized interest	13.6			12.7			30.4			24.8
	(60.3		)	(54.0		)	(118.9		)	(119.1		)
Other, net	(.5		)	261.4			(6.8		)	259.6
	$	(53.2	)	$	209.9		$	(110.9	)	$	145.3

Interest income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 increased as compared to the prior year periods as a result of higher short-term investment balances.

Interest expense for three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 increased as compared to the prior year periods due to the issuance of $849.5 million in convertible notes and $332.0 million in exchange notes during 2016 and 2017, respectively, partially offset by the repurchase of $2.0 billion of debt during 2016 and 2017. Interest expense capitalized during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 increased as compared to the prior year periods due an increase in the amount of capital invested in newbuild construction.

Other expense, net, for six-month period ended June 30, 2017 included a pre-tax loss of $6.2 million related to the January 2017 debt exchange. Other income, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 included gains on debt extinguishment of $260.8 million related to our 2016 tender offers and subsequent open market repurchases.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. Net foreign currency exchange losses of $2.4 million and $4.1 million, inclusive of offsetting fair value derivatives, were included in other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Net foreign currency exchange losses of $100,000 and $1.8 million, inclusive of offsetting fair value derivatives, were included in other, net, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

Ensco plc, our parent company, is domiciled and resident in the U.K. Our subsidiaries conduct operations and earn income in numerous countries and are subject to the laws of taxing jurisdictions within those countries. The income of our non-U.K. subsidiaries is not subject to U.K. taxation. Income tax rates imposed in the tax jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. In some cases, tax rates may be applicable to gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other bases utilized under local tax laws, rather than to net income.

Our drilling rigs frequently move from one taxing jurisdiction to another to perform contract drilling services. In some instances, the movement of drilling rigs among taxing jurisdictions will involve the transfer of ownership of the drilling rigs among our subsidiaries. As a result of frequent changes in the taxing jurisdictions in which our drilling rigs are operated and/or owned, changes in the overall level of our income and changes in tax laws, our consolidated effective income tax rate may vary substantially from one reporting period to another. In periods of declining profitability, our income tax expense may not decline proportionally with income, which could result in higher effective income tax rates. Further, we may continue to incur income tax expense in periods in which we operate at a loss.

Income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $19.3 million and $43.4 million, respectively, as compared to $36.7 million and $108.1 million during the respective prior year periods. The declines in income tax expense were primarily due to lower income levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically relied on our cash flow from continuing operations to meet liquidity needs and fund the majority of our cash requirements. We periodically rely on the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to supplement our liquidity needs. A substantial portion of our operating cash flow has been invested in the expansion and enhancement of our drilling rig fleet through newbuild construction and upgrade projects and the return of capital to shareholders through dividend payments. We expect that cash flow generated during 2017 will primarily be used to fund capital expenditures, repurchase debt and repay Atwood's debt upon or following the closing of the proposed Merger.

In January 2017, through a private-exchange transaction, we repurchased $649.5 million of our outstanding debt with $332.5 million of cash and $332.0 million of newly issued 8.00% senior notes due 2024.    

During the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased $194.1 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding debt for $204.5 million of cash on the open market and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain, net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs.

Our Board of Directors declared a $0.01 per share quarterly cash dividend during the first and second quarters. The declaration and amount of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. In the future, our Board of Directors may, without advance notice, reduce or suspend our dividend in order to maintain our financial flexibility and best position us for long-term success. When evaluating dividend payment timing and amounts, our Board of Directors considers several factors, including our profitability, liquidity, financial condition, market outlook, reinvestment opportunities and capital requirements.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, our primary source of cash was $130.5 million generated from operating activities of continuing operations. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were $537.0 million for the repurchase of debt and $332.6 million for the construction, enhancement and other improvement of our drilling rigs and net purchases of short-term investments of $237.8 million.

49

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, our primary sources of cash were $800.2 million generated from operating activities of continuing operations, $585.5 million in proceeds from our April 2016 equity offering and $170 million of net liquidations of short-term investments. Our primary uses of cash for the same period were $684.8 million for the repurchase of debt and$209.4 million for the construction, enhancement and other improvement of our drilling rigs.

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures

Our cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations and capital expenditures for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in millions):

	2017		2016
Cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations	$	130.5	$	800.2
Capital expenditures
New rig construction	$	286.6	$	123.1
Rig enhancements	15.5		14.3
Minor upgrades and improvements	30.5		72.0
	$	332.6	$	209.4

Excluding the impact of ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO 8503 lump-sum termination payments of $205.0 million received during the six-months ended June 30, 2016, cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations declined$464.7 million, or 78%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The decline primarily resulted from a $704.9 million decline in net cash receipts from contract drilling services, offset by a $216.3 million decline in net cash payments for contract drilling services, a $25.9 million decline in cash payments for taxes, a $14.7 million decline in cash payments for interest and a $6.8 million decline in cash paid for general and administrative expense.

We currently have a premium jackup rig and an ultra-deepwater drillship under construction. During 2016, we agreed with the shipyard to delay the delivery of ENSCO 123 until the first quarter of 2018. ENSCO 123 is being actively marketed. We recently provided notice to the shipyard to accelerate delivery and the final milestone payment of $75.0 million for ENSCO DS-10 into the third quarter of 2017 that were previously deferred into 2019.

The following table summarizes the cumulative amount of contractual payments made as of June 30, 2017 for our rigs under construction and estimated timing of our remaining contractual payments (in millions):

	Cumulative Paid(1)		Remaining 2017		2018		2019		Total(2)
ENSCO DS-10	$	481.2	$	75.0	$	—	$	—	$	556.2
ENSCO 123	61.5		4.0		215.3		—		280.8
	$	542.7	$	79.0	$	215.3	$	—	$	837.0

⁽¹⁾  Cumulative paid represents the aggregate amount of contractual payments made from commencement of the construction agreement through June 30, 2017.

⁽²⁾  Total commitments are based on fixed-price shipyard construction contracts, exclusive of costs associated with commissioning, systems integration testing, project management and capitalized interest.

The actual timing of these expenditures may vary based on the completion of various construction milestones, which are, to a large extent, beyond our control.    

Based on our current projections, we expect capital expenditures during 2017 to include approximately $500 million for newbuild construction, approximately $65 million for rig enhancement projects and approximately $70

50

million for minor upgrades and improvements. Depending on market conditions and future opportunities, we may make additional capital expenditures to upgrade rigs for customer requirements and construct or acquire additional rigs.

Financing and Capital Resources

Exchange Offers

In January 2017, we completed exchange offers (the "Exchange Offers") to exchange our outstanding 8.50% senior notes due 2019, 6.875% senior notes due 2020 and 4.70% senior notes due 2021 for 8.00% senior notes due 2024 and cash. The Exchange Offers resulted in the tender of $649.5 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding notes that were settled and exchanged as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		8.00% Senior notes due 2024 Consideration		Cash Consideration(1)		Total Consideration
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	145.8	$	81.6	$	81.7	$	163.3
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	129.8		69.3		69.4		138.7
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	373.9		181.1		181.4		362.5
Total	$	649.5	$	332.0	$	332.5	$	664.5

⁽¹⁾   As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of principal repurchased with cash of $332.5 million, along with associated premiums, was classified as current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2017, we recognized a net pre-tax loss on the Exchange Offers of $6.2 million, consisting of a loss of $3.5 million that includes the write-off of premiums on tendered debt and $2.7 million of transaction costs.

Open Market Repurchases

During the first six months of 2017, we repurchased certain of our outstanding senior notes with cash on hand and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain, net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs. The aggregate repurchases were as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		Aggregate Repurchase Price(1)
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	54.6	$	60.1
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	100.1		105.1
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	39.4		39.3
Total	$	194.1	$	204.5

⁽¹⁾   Excludes accrued interest paid to holders of the repurchased senior notes.

Maturities

Our next debt maturity is $237.6 million during 2019, followed by $450.9 million and $269.7 million during 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Revolving Credit

We have a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to be used for general corporate purposes with a term expiring on September 30, 2019 (the "Credit Facility"). During 2016, we extended the maturity of $1.13 billion of the $2.25 billion commitment for one year to September 30, 2020.

Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate (currently 0.50% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.50% per annum for LIBOR advances) depending on our credit rating. Also, our quarterly commitment fee is 0.225% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.25 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating. Recent credit rating actions have resulted in the highest applicable margin rate on borrowings and our quarterly commitment fee.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60%. The Credit Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens; entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. We have the right, subject to receipt of commitments from new or existing lenders, to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility by an amount not to exceed $500 million and to extend the maturity of the commitments under the Credit Facility by one additional year.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt. As a result of recent rating actions, we no longer maintain an investment-grade status. Our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, could limit available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants, which may further restrict our operations. With a credit rating below investment grade, we have no access to the commercial paper market.

Other Financing

We filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2015, which provides us the ability to issue debt securities, equity securities, guarantees and/or units of securities in one or more offerings. The registration statement, as amended, expires in January 2018.

During 2013, our shareholders approved a new share repurchase program. Subject to certain provisions under English law, including the requirement of Ensco plc to have sufficient distributable reserves, we may repurchase shares up to a maximum of $2.0 billion in the aggregate under the program, but in no case more than 35.0 million shares. As of June 30, 2017, no shares have been repurchased under the program.The program terminates in May 2018.

52

From time to time, we and our affiliates may repurchase our outstanding senior notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or we may redeem senior notes that are able to be redeemed, pursuant to their terms. In connection with any exchange, we may issue equity, issue new debt and/or pay cash consideration. Any future repurchases, exchanges or redemptions will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) we may choose to pursue in the future. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for our outstanding senior notes following any such transactions.

Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2017, we were contingently liable for an aggregate amount of $50.6 million under outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds which guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of June 30, 2017, we were not required to make any collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

Liquidity

Our liquidity position is summarized in the table below (in millions, except ratios):

	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents	$	169.6	$	1,159.7
Short-term investments	$	1,680.4	$	1,442.6
Working capital	$	2,028.8	$	2,424.9
Current ratio	5.0		3.8

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, as well as working capital requirements, from our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, operating cash flows and, if necessary, funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility.

We expect to fund our long-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, from our operating cash flows and, if necessary, funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility or other future financing arrangements.

We may decide to access debt and/or equity markets to raise additional capital or increase liquidity as necessary. 

MARKET RISK

We use derivatives to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We maintain a foreign currency exchange rate risk management strategy that utilizes derivatives to reduce our exposure to unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk on future expected contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various foreign currencies. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2017, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $173.7 million for various foreign currencies.

53

We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various strategies to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities, thereby reducing exposure to earnings fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of June 30, 2017, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $131.3 million for various foreign currencies.

If we were to incur a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, net unrealized losses associated with our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017 would approximate $14.6 million. Approximately $11.2 million of these unrealized losses would be offset by corresponding gains on the derivatives utilized to offset changes in the fair value of net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

We utilize derivatives and undertake foreign currency exchange rate hedging activities in accordance with our established policies for the management of market risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to derivative counterparties through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into ISDA Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events or set-off provisions. Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.

We do not enter into derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. We believe that our use of derivatives and related hedging activities reduces our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and does not expose us to material credit risk or any other material market risk. All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our derivative instruments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. These policies, along with our underlying judgments and assumptions made in their application, have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We identify our critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of our financial position and operating results and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates in matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are those related to property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, in addition to supplemental disclosure regarding impairment of long-lived assets set forth below.

54

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment, primarily our drilling rigs, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such rigs may not be recoverable. Generally, extended periods of idle time and/or inability to contract rigs at economical rates are an indication that a rig may be impaired. Impairment situations may arise with respect to specific individual rigs, groups of rigs, such as a specific type of drilling rig, or rigs in a certain geographic location.

For property and equipment used in our operations, recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of an asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value. The determination of expected undiscounted cash flow amounts requires significant estimates, judgments and assumptions, including utilization levels, day rates, expense levels and capital requirements, as well as cash flows generated upon disposition, for each of our drilling rigs. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with these estimates, we perform sensitivity analysis on key assumptions as part of our recoverability test.

Our judgments and assumptions about future cash flows to be generated by our drilling rigs are highly subjective and based on consideration of the following:

• global macroeconomic and political environment,

• historical utilization, day rate and operating expense trends by asset class,

• regulatory requirements such as surveys, inspections and recertification of our rigs,

• remaining useful lives of our rigs,

• expectations on the use and eventual disposition of our rigs,

• weighted-average cost of capital,

• oil price projections,

• sanctioned and unsanctioned offshore project data,

• offshore project break-even economic data,

• global rig supply and construction orders,

• global rig fleet capabilities and relative rankings, and

• expectations of global rig fleet attrition.

We collect and analyze the above information to develop a range of estimated utilization levels, day rates, expense levels and capital requirements, as well as estimated cash flows generated upon disposition. The most subjective assumptions that impact our impairment analyses include projections of future oil prices and timing of global rig fleet attrition, which, in large part, impact our estimates on timing and magnitude of recovery from the current industry downturn. However, there are numerous judgments and assumptions unique to the projected future cash flows of each rig that individually, and in the aggregate, can significantly impact the recoverability of its carrying value.

The highly cyclical nature of our industry cannot be reasonably predicted with a high level of accuracy and therefore differences between our historical judgments and assumptions and actual results will occur. We reassess our judgments and assumptions in the period in which significant differences are observed and may conclude that a triggering event has occurred and perform a recoverability test. We recognized material impairment charges during 2014 and 2015 upon observation of significant unexpected changes in our business climate.

There are numerous factors underlying the highly cyclical nature of our industry that are reasonably likely to impact our judgments and assumptions including, but not limited to, the following:

• changes in global economic conditions,

• production levels of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”),

• production levels of non-OPEC countries,

• advances in exploration and development technology,

55

• offshore and onshore project break-even economics,

• development and exploitation of alternative fuels,

• natural disasters or other operational hazards,

• changes in relevant law and governmental regulations,

• political instability and/or escalation of military actions in the areas we operate,

• changes in the timing and rate of global newbuild rig construction, and

• changes in the timing and rate of global rig fleet attrition.

There is a wide range of interrelated changes in our judgments and assumptions that could reasonably occur as a result of unexpected developments in the aforementioned factors, which could result in materially different carrying values for an individual rig, group of rigs or our entire rig fleet, materially impacting our operating results.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for information on new accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information required under Item 3. has been incorporated into "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Risk."

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

Brazil Internal Investigation

Pride International LLC, formerly Pride International, Inc. (“Pride”), a company we acquired in 2011, commenced drilling operations in Brazil in 2001. In 2008, Pride entered into a drilling services agreement with Petrobras (the "DSA") for ENSCO DS-5, a drillship ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries, a shipyard in South Korea ("SHI"). Beginning in 2006, Pride conducted periodic compliance reviews of its business with Petrobras, and, after the acquisition of Pride, Ensco conducted similar compliance reviews.

We commenced a compliance review in early 2015 after media reports were released regarding ongoing investigations of various kickback and bribery schemes in Brazil involving Petrobras. While conducting our compliance review, we became aware of an internal audit report by Petrobras alleging irregularities in relation to the DSA. Upon learning of the Petrobras internal audit report, our Audit Committee appointed independent counsel to lead an investigation into the alleged irregularities. Further, in June and July 2015, we voluntarily contacted the SEC and the DOJ, respectively, to advise them of this matter and our Audit Committee’s investigation. Independent counsel, under the direction of our Audit Committee, has substantially completed its investigation by reviewing and analyzing available documents and correspondence and interviewing current and former employees involved in the DSA negotiations and the negotiation of the ENSCO DS-5 construction contract with SHI (the "DS-5 Construction Contract").

To date, our Audit Committee has found no evidence that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were aware of or involved in any wrongdoing, and our Audit Committee has found no evidence linking Ensco or Pride to any illegal acts committed by our former marketing consultant, who provided services to Pride and Ensco in connection with the DSA. Independent counsel has continued to provide the SEC and DOJ with updates throughout the investigation, including detailed briefings regarding its investigation and findings. We entered into one-year tolling agreement with the DOJ that expired in December 2016. We extended a tolling agreement with the SEC for 12 months until March 2018.

Subsequent to initiating our Audit Committee investigation, Brazilian court documents connected to the prosecution of former Petrobras directors and employees as well as certain other third parties, including our former marketing consultant, referenced the alleged irregularities cited in the Petrobras internal audit report. Our former marketing consultant has entered into a plea agreement with the Brazilian authorities. On January 10, 2016, Brazilian authorities filed an indictment against a former Petrobras director. This indictment states that the former Petrobras director received bribes paid out of proceeds from a brokerage agreement entered into for purposes of intermediating a drillship construction contract between SHI and Pride, which we believe to be the DS-5 Construction Contract. The parties to the brokerage agreement were a company affiliated with a person acting on behalf of the former Petrobras director, a company affiliated with our former marketing consultant, and SHI. The indictment alleges that amounts paid by SHI under the brokerage agreement ultimately were used to pay bribes to the former Petrobras director. The indictment does not state that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were involved in the bribery scheme or had any knowledge of the bribery scheme.

On January 4, 2016, we received a notice from Petrobras declaring the DSA void effective immediately. Petrobras’ notice alleges that our former marketing consultant both received and procured improper payments from SHI for employees of Petrobras and that Pride had knowledge of this activity and assisted in the procurement of and/or facilitated these improper payments. We disagree with Petrobras’ allegations. See "—DSA Dispute" below for additional information.

57

Outside of Petrobras’ allegations, we have not been contacted by any Brazil governmental authority regarding alleged wrongdoing by Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees related to this matter. We cannot predict whether any U.S., Brazilian or other governmental authority will seek to investigate Pride's involvement in this matter, or if a proceeding were opened, the scope or ultimate outcome of any such investigation. If the SEC or DOJ determines that violations of the FCPA have occurred, or if any governmental authority determines that we have violated applicable anti-bribery laws, they could seek civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us, as well as changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customers, business partners and other stakeholders could seek to take actions adverse to our interests. Further, investigating and resolving such allegations is expensive and could consume significant management time and attention. Although our internal investigation is substantially complete, we cannot predict whether any additional allegations will be made or whether any additional facts relevant to the investigation will be uncovered during the course of the investigation and what impact those allegations and additional facts will have on the timing or conclusions of the investigation. Our Audit Committee will examine any such additional allegations and additional facts and the circumstances surrounding them.

DSA Dispute

As described above, on January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a notice to us declaring the DSA void effective immediately, reserving its rights and stating its intention to seek any restitution to which it may be entitled. We disagree with Petrobras’ declaration that the DSA is void. We believe that Petrobras repudiated the DSA and have therefore accepted the DSA as terminated on April 8, 2016 (the "Termination Date"). At this time, we cannot reasonably determine the validity of Petrobras' claim or the range of our potential exposure, if any. As a result, there can be no assurance as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.

We did not recognize revenue for amounts owed to us under the DSA from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 through the Termination Date as we concluded that collectability of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, our receivables from Petrobras related to the DSA from prior to the fourth quarter of 2015 are fully reserved in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. We have initiated arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against Petrobras seeking payment of all amounts owed to us under the DSA, in addition to any other amounts to which we are entitled, and intend to vigorously pursue our claims. Petrobras subsequently filed a counterclaim seeking restitution of certain sums paid under the DSA less value received by Petrobras under the DSA. We have also initiated separate arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against SHI for any losses we have incurred in connection with the foregoing. SHI subsequently filed a statement of defense disputing our claim. There can be no assurance as to how these arbitration proceedings will ultimately be resolved.

Pride FCPA Investigation

During 2010, Pride and its subsidiaries resolved their previously disclosed investigations into potential violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA") with the DOJ and SEC. The settlement with the DOJ included a deferred prosecution agreement (the "DPA") between Pride and the DOJ and a guilty plea by Pride Forasol S.A.S., one of Pride’s subsidiaries, to FCPA-related charges. During 2012, the DOJ moved to (i) dismiss the charges against Pride and end the DPA one year prior to its scheduled expiration; and (ii) terminate the unsupervised probation of Pride Forasol S.A.S. The Court granted the motions.

Pride has received preliminary inquiries from governmental authorities of certain countries referenced in its settlements with the DOJ and SEC. We could face additional fines, sanctions and other penalties from authorities in these and other relevant jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in or curtailment of business operations in certain jurisdictions and the seizure of rigs or other assets. At this stage of such inquiries, we are unable to determine what, if any, legal liability may result. Our customers in certain jurisdictions could seek to impose penalties or take other actions adverse to our business. We could also face other third-party claims by directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents, stockholders, debt holders, or other stakeholders. In addition, disclosure of the subject matter of the investigations and settlements could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to obtain new business or retain existing business, to attract and retain employees and to access the capital markets.

58

We cannot currently predict what, if any, actions may be taken by any other applicable government or other authorities or our customers or other third parties or the effect any such actions may have on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

We are currently subject to pending notices of assessment relating to spills of drilling fluids, oil, brine, chemicals, grease or fuel from drilling rigs operating offshore Brazil from 2008 to 2016, pursuant to which the governmental authorities have assessed, or are anticipated to assess, fines. We have contested these notices and appealed certain adverse decisions and are awaiting decisions in these cases. Although we do not expect final disposition of these assessments to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these assessments. A $190,000 liability related to these matters was included in accrued liabilities and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.

We currently are subject to a pending administrative proceeding initiated during 2009 by a Spanish government authority seeking payment in an aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 million, for an alleged environmental spill originating from ENSCO 5006 while it was operating offshore Spain. Our customer has posted guarantees with the Spanish government to cover potential penalties. Additionally, we expect to be indemnified for any payments resulting from this incident by our customer under the terms of the drilling contract. A criminal investigation of the incident was initiated during 2010 by a prosecutor in Tarragona, Spain, and the administrative proceedings have been suspended pending the outcome of this investigation. We do not know at this time what, if any, involvement we may have in this investigation.

We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the administrative proceeding and any criminal investigation. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the extent to which we may be exposed to any resulting liability. Although we do not expect final disposition of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the proceedings.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On June 23, 2017, a putative class action captioned Bernard Stern v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood, Atwood’s directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub. The Stern complaint generally alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors disseminated a false or misleading registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) on June 16, 2017, which omitted material information regarding the proposed Merger, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the Stern complaint alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors omitted material information regarding the parties’ financial projections, the analysis performed by Atwood’s financial advisor, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), in support of its fairness opinion, the timing and nature of communications regarding post-transaction employment of Atwood's directors and officers, potential conflicts of interest of Goldman Sachs, and whether there were further discussions with another potential acquirer of Atwood following the May 30, 2017 announcement of the Merger. The Stern complaint further alleges that the Atwood directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub are liable for these violations as “control persons” of Atwood under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. With respect to Ensco plc, the Stern complaint alleges that Ensco plc had direct supervisory control over the composition of the Registration Statement. The Stern complaint seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger is consummated, and an award of attorneys’ fees, in addition to other relief.

On June 27, 2017, June 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, additional putative class actions captioned Joseph Composto v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, Booth Family Trust v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al and Mary Carter v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., respectively, were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood and Atwood’s directors. These actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by Atwood and Atwood’s directors similar to those alleged in the Stern complaint; however, neither Ensco plc nor Merger Sub is named as a defendant in these actions.

59

Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may be filed in the future. There can be no assurance that we or any of the other defendants will be successful in the outcome of these or any potential future lawsuits. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the Merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the completion of the Merger. We believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the lawsuit filed against us and any other future lawsuits challenging the transaction.

Other Matters

In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors 

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully read and consider "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which contains descriptions of significant risks that might cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently anticipated or expected. There have been no material changes from the risks previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except as set forth below.

The following risk factors relate to the proposed Merger. For more information on the Merger, please read our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 16, 2017 and any subsequent amendments thereto, as well as any other related information on the Merger that we have filed with the SEC.     

We and Atwood are subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending that could adversely affect each party's business and operations.

In connection with the proposed Merger, it is possible that some customers, suppliers and other persons with whom we or Atwood have business relationships may delay or defer certain business decisions, or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationship with us or Atwood as a result of the Merger, which could negatively affect our and Atwood’s respective revenues and earnings, as well as the market price of Atwood’s common stock or our shares, regardless of whether the Merger is completed.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we and Atwood are each subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our businesses prior to completing the Merger, which may adversely affect our and Atwood’s ability to execute certain of our business strategies. Such limitations could negatively affect each party’s businesses and operations prior to the completion of the Merger. Furthermore, the process of planning to integrate two businesses and organizations for the post-Merger period may divert management’s attention and resources and could ultimately have an adverse effect on each party. These uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers and others that deal with us or Atwood to seek to change existing business relationships with such party, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

60

We or Atwood may have difficulty attracting, motivating and retaining executives and other employees in light of the Merger.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on our employees or Atwood’s employees may impair our and Atwood’s ability to attract, motivate and retain personnel until the Merger is completed. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the Merger, as employees may feel uncertain about their future roles with the combined company. In addition, we or Atwood may have to provide additional compensation in order to retain employees. If our employees or Atwood’s employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to become employees of the combined company, the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger could be adversely affected.

The Merger is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied, and may not be completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Merger, or significant delays in completing the Merger, could negatively affect the trading price of our shares and our and Atwood’s future business and financial results.

The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions beyond our and Atwood’s control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion, including the risks that we do not obtain the requisite approval of Atwood’s and our shareholders of the Merger and related proposals, the approval of governmental agencies is not obtained or that other closing conditions are not satisfied. We cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. The completion of the Merger is not assured and is subject to risks. Any delay in completing the Merger could cause the combined company not to realize some or all of the synergies expected to be achieved if the Merger is successfully completed within its expected time frame.

If the Merger is not completed, we will be subject to several risks and consequences, including the following:

• certain damages for which we may be liable to Atwood under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

• negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of our shares due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be completed;

• certain significant costs relating to the Merger, including, in certain circumstances, the reimbursement by us of up to $10.0 million of Atwood’s expenses and a termination fee payable by us of $50.0 million less any previous expense reimbursements by us; and

• the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Merger rather than our own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.

We and Atwood will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Merger.

We and Atwood expect to incur a number of non-recurring transaction-related costs associated with completing the Merger, combining the operations of the two organizations and achieving desired synergies. These fees and costs will be substantial. Non-recurring transaction costs include, but are not limited to, fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of Atwood’s business with our business. There can be no assurance that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will offset the incremental transaction-related costs over time. Thus, any net benefit of the Merger may not be achieved in the near term, the long term or at all.

61

If completed, the Merger may not achieve its intended results, and we and Atwood may be unable to successfully integrate our operations. Failure to successfully combine our business and Atwood’s business in the expected time frame may adversely affect the future results of the combined company and, consequently, the value of the Ensco shares.

We and Atwood entered into the Merger Agreement with the expectation that the Merger will result in various benefits, including, among other things, expanding our asset base and creating synergies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether Atwood’s business can be integrated with our business in an efficient and effective manner.

It is possible that the integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of valuable employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses, processes and systems or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements, any of which could adversely affect the combined company's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. The combined company's results of operations could also be adversely affected by any issues attributable to either company's operations that arise or are based on events or actions that occur prior to the completion of the Merger. The companies may have difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies. The integration process is subject to a number of uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated benefits will be realized or, if realized, the timing of their realization. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs or decreases in the amount of expected revenues and could adversely affect the combined company's future business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, which in turn could result in a decline in the market value of our shares.

A downgrade in our or our subsidiaries’ credit ratings following the Merger could impact the combined entity’s access to capital and costs of doing business, and maintaining credit ratings is under the control of independent third parties.

Following the Merger, rating agencies may reevaluate our and our subsidiaries’ ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in such credit ratings could limit our ability to access credit and capital markets, or to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. As a result of any such downgrades, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants, including obligations to post collateral with third parties, which may further restrict our operations and negatively impact liquidity.

Credit rating agencies perform independent analysis when assigning credit ratings. The analysis includes a number of criteria including, but not limited to, business composition, market and operational risks, as well as various financial tests. Credit rating agencies continue to review the criteria for industry sectors and various debt ratings and may make changes to those criteria from time to time. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold investments in the rated entity. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies, and we cannot assure you that we and our subsidiaries will maintain our current credit ratings.

Completion of the Merger will trigger change of control or other provisions in certain agreements to which Atwood is a party.

The completion of the Merger will trigger change of control or other provisions in certain agreements to which Atwood is a party. In particular, the indenture governing Atwood’s 6.50% senior notes due 2020 requires Atwood to make an offer to purchase all of each holder’s notes at an amount equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such holder’s notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, within 30 days following a change of control. As a result, we could be required to repay up to an aggregate $449 million principal amount of senior notes plus approximately $4.5 million in associated premiums.

In addition, the completion of the Merger will constitute a change of control under Atwood’s revolving credit facility. As a result, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility will be accelerated and become due and payable by us in connection with the completion of the Merger. As of June 30, 2017, Atwood had outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility of approximately $850 million.

The IRS may not agree with the conclusion that we should be treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes following the Merger.

Although Ensco plc is incorporated in the United Kingdom, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may assert that we should be treated as a U.S. corporation (and, therefore, a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Merger pursuant to Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally considered a U.S. “domestic” corporation (or U.S. tax resident) if it is organized in the United States, and a corporation is generally considered a “foreign” corporation (or non-U.S. tax resident) if it is not a U.S. domestic corporation. Because Ensco plc is an entity incorporated in England and Wales, it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation (or non-U.S. tax resident) under these rules. Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code provides an exception under which a foreign incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Unless we satisfy the substantial business activities exception, as defined in Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code and described in more detail below (the “Substantial Business Activities Exception”), we would be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation (that is, as a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Merger pursuant to Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code if the percentage (by vote or value) of our shares considered to be held by former holders of shares of Atwood common stock after the Merger by reason of holding shares of Atwood common stock for purposes of Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Section 7874 Percentage”) is 80% or more. In order for us to satisfy the Substantial Business Activities Exception, at least 25% of the employees (by headcount and compensation), real and tangible assets and gross income of Ensco plc expanded affiliated group must be based, located and derived, respectively, in the country in which Ensco plc is a tax resident after the Merger. The Substantial Business Activities Exception is not expected to be satisfied.

The Section 7874 Percentage is currently expected to be less than 60%. The calculation of the Section 7874 Percentage, however, is complex, is calculated based on the facts as of the effective time of the Merger, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by changes in such regulations) and is subject to factual uncertainties (including fluctuations in the value of shares of Atwood common stock and our shares). As a result, the IRS could assert that the Section 7874 Percentage is greater than 80% and that we therefore are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a U.S. domestic corporation (that is, as a U.S. tax resident) following the Merger. If the IRS successfully challenged our status as a foreign corporation, significant adverse tax consequences would result for us and for certain of our shareholders.

U.S. tax laws and IRS guidance could affect our ability to engage in certain acquisition strategies and certain internal restructurings.

Even if we are treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including temporary Treasury Regulations, may adversely affect our ability to engage in certain future acquisitions of U.S. businesses in exchange for our equity, which may affect the tax efficiencies that otherwise might be achieved in such potential future transactions.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Ensco plc and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Ensco," "our," "we" or "us") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") included in the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The financial information included in this report is unaudited but, in our opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from our 2016 audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related revenues and expenses and disclosures of gain and loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The financial data for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 included herein have been subjected to a limited review by KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The accompanying independent registered public accounting firm's review report is not a report within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act, and the independent registered public accounting firm's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.

Results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017.  We recommend these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 27, 2017.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On May 29, 2017, Ensco plc entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Echo Merger Sub LLC ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc, and Atwood Oceanics, Inc. ("Atwood"), pursuant to which Ensco plc will acquire Atwood in an all-stock transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into Atwood (the "Merger"), with Atwood continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensco plc.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Atwood common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.60 Class A ordinary shares of Ensco plc ("Ensco shares"). We estimate the total consideration to be delivered in the Merger to be approximately $711 million, consisting of the delivery of approximately 134 million Ensco shares based on the closing price of Ensco shares of $5.32 on July 18, 2017. The value of the Merger consideration will fluctuate based on changes in the price of Ensco shares and the number of shares of Atwood common stock outstanding on the closing date.

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including approval of the allotment and issuance of Ensco shares by Ensco plc shareholders and approval of the Merger by Atwood's shareholders. On June 27, 2017, Ensco and Atwood received notice from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2017, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to closing.

Operating Revenues and Expenses

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, operating revenues included $185.0 million for the lump-sum consideration received in settlement and release of the ENSCO DS-9 customer's ongoing early termination obligations and $20.0 million for the lump-sum consideration received in settlement of the ENSCO 8503 customer's remaining obligations under the contract. The ENSCO DS-9 contract was terminated for convenience by the customer in July 2015, whereby our customer was obligated to pay us monthly termination fees for two years under the termination provisions of the contract. The ENSCO 8503 contract was originally scheduled to expire in August 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“Update 2016-16”), which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transaction occurs as opposed to deferring tax consequences and amortizing them into future periods. We adopted Update 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2017. As a result of modified retrospective application, we reduced prepaid taxes on intercompany transfers of property and related deferred tax liabilities resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect reduction in retained earnings of $14.1 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2017. We do not expect a material impact to our 2017 operating results as a result of the adoption of Update 2016-16.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting("Update 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted Update 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. Our adoption of Update 2016-09 did not result in any cumulative effect on retained earnings and no adjustments have been made to prior periods. The new standard will cause volatility in our effective tax rates primarily due to the new requirement that companies recognize additional tax benefits or expenses in earnings related to the vesting or settlement of employee share-based awards, rather than in additional paid-in capital, during the period in which they occur. Furthermore, forfeitures are now recorded as they occur as opposed to estimating an allowance for future forfeitures.

During 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Update 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Subsequent to the issuance of Update 2014-09, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standards Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. Update 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and may be adopted using a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective with a cumulative catch-up approach. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2014-09 and Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Update 2016-02"), we expect to adopt Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect that Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Update 2016-02, which requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key qualitative and quantitative information about the entity's leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. During our evaluation of Update 2016-02, we have concluded that our drilling contracts contain a lease component, and upon adoption, we will be required to separately recognize revenues associated with the lease of our drilling rigs and the provision of contract drilling services. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09, we expect to adopt both updates concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. Adoption will result in increased disclosure of the nature of our leasing arrangements and may result in variability in our revenue recognition patterns relative to current U.S. GAAP based on the provisions in each of our drilling contracts. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we expect to recognize lease liabilities and offsetting "right of use" assets ranging from approximately $60 million to $80 million upon adoption, based on our portfolio of leases as of June 30, 2017. We are currently evaluating the other impacts that Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

The following fair value hierarchy table categorizes information regarding our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
As of June 30, 2017

Total financial liabilities	$	—	$	(8.8	)	$	—	$	(8.8	)

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Assets

Our supplemental executive retirement plans (the "SERP") are non-qualified plans that provide eligible employees an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation for use after retirement. Assets held in the SERP were marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs and were included in other assets, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value measurement of assets held in the SERP was based on quoted market prices.

Derivatives

Our derivatives were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. See "Note 3 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives, including a description of our foreign currency hedging activities and related methodologies used to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The fair value measurement of our derivatives was based on market prices that are generally observable for similar assets or liabilities at commonly-quoted intervals.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments were as follows (in millions):

	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	256.0	$	255.0	$	480.2	$	485.0
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	482.7		461.8		735.9		727.5

Total	$	4,744.7	$	4,046.9	$	5,274.5	$	5,001.7

⁽¹⁾   Our exchangeable senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Convertible Notes") were issued with a conversion feature. The 2024 Convertible Notes were separated into their liability and equity components on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The equity component was initially recorded to additional paid-in capital and as a debt discount that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the instrument. Excluding the unamortized discount, the carrying amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes was $832.9 million and $830.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and debentures were determined using quoted market prices. The decline in the carrying value of long-term debt instruments from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the January 2017 debt exchange and debt repurchases as discussed in "Note 6 - Debt."

The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Our short-term investments consisted of time deposits with initial maturities in excess of three months but less than one year as of each respective balance sheet date.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to various market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange rate risk.

All derivatives were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements were not offset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in derivative fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  Net assets of $4.9 million and net liabilities of $8.8 million associated with our foreign currency forward contracts were included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months.  See "Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the fair value measurement of our derivatives.

Derivatives recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the following (in millions):

	Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities
	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

⁽¹⁾  Derivative assets and liabilities with maturity dates equal to or less than twelve months from the respective balance sheet date were included in other current assets and accrued liabilities and other, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽²⁾  Derivative assets and liabilities with maturity dates greater than twelve months from the respective balance sheet date were included in other assets, net, and other liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various currencies. As of June 30, 2017, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $173.7 million for various foreign currencies, including $81.7 million for British pounds, $33.7 million for Australian dollars, $22.8 million for euros, $22.3 million for Brazilian reais and $13.2 million for other currencies.

Gains and losses, net of tax, on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income were as follows (in millions):

⁽¹⁾ Changes in the effective portion of cash flow hedge fair values are recorded in AOCI.  Amounts recorded in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges are subsequently reclassified into contract drilling, depreciation or interest expense as earnings are affected by the underlying hedged forecasted transaction.

⁽²⁾ Gains and losses recognized in income for ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

⁽³⁾ Losses on interest rate lock derivatives reclassified from AOCI into income were included in interest expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

⁽⁴⁾  During the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, $400,000 of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $200,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, $2.2 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $200,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

⁽⁵⁾  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, $1.4 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $400,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, $8.2 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $400,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various methods to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities but do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments.  In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of June 30, 2017, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $131.3 million for various foreign currencies, including $86.5 million for euros, $9.6 million for Indonesian rupiah, $8.4 million for Australian dollars, $6.9 million for British pounds, $6.6 million for Brazilian reais, $6.5 million for Swiss francs and $6.8 million for other currencies.

Net gains of $5.7 million and net losses of $3.5 million associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net gains of $6.2 million and $900,000 associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These gains and losses were largely offset by net foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the respective periods.

As of June 30, 2017, the estimated amount of net gains associated with derivative instruments, net of tax, that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months totaled $1.7 million.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

We compute basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the two-class method. Net (loss) income attributable to Ensco used in our computations of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted to exclude net income allocated to non-vested shares granted to our employees and non-employee directors. Weighted-average shares outstanding used in our computation of diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and excludes non-vested shares.

The following table is a reconciliation of (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco shares used in our basic and diluted EPS computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco	$	(45.9	)	$	590.8		$	(71.0	)	$	767.0
Income from continuing operations allocated to non-vested share awards(1)	(.1		)	(9.8		)	(.2		)	(12.0		)
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Ensco shares	$	(46.0	)	$	581.0		$	(71.2	)	$	755.0

⁽¹⁾ Losses are not allocated to non-vested share awards. Therefore, only dividends attributable to the our non-vested share awards are included in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Antidilutive share awards totaling 400,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, due to our net loss position, potentially dilutive share awards totaling 900,000 were also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. Antidilutive share awards totaling 500,000 and 600,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month and six-month ended June 30, 2016.

We have the option to settle our 2024 Convertible Notes in cash, shares or a combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount (i.e., our share price exceeds the exchange price on the date of conversion), we expect to deliver shares equal to the remainder of our conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount.

During each reporting period that our average share price exceeds the exchange price, an assumed number of shares required to settle the conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount will be included in our denominator for the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Our average share price did not exceed the exchange price during the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Exchange Offers

In January 2017, we completed exchange offers (the "Exchange Offers") to exchange our outstanding 8.50% senior notes due 2019, 6.875% senior notes due 2020 and 4.70% senior notes due 2021 for 8.00% senior notes due 2024 and cash. The Exchange Offers resulted in the tender of $649.5 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes that were settled and exchanged as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		8.00% Senior notes due 2024 Consideration		Cash Consideration(1)		Total Consideration
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	145.8	$	81.6	$	81.7	$	163.3
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	129.8		69.3		69.4		138.7
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	373.9		181.1		181.4		362.5
Total	$	649.5	$	332.0	$	332.5	$	664.5

⁽¹⁾   As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of principal repurchased with cash of $332.5 million, along with associated premiums, was classified as current maturities of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2017, we recognized a net pre-tax loss on the Exchange Offers of $6.2 million, consisting of a loss of $3.5 million that includes the write-off of premiums on tendered debt and $2.7 million of transaction costs.

Open Market Repurchases

During the first six months of 2017, we repurchased certain of our outstanding senior notes with cash on hand and recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain, net of discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs. The aggregate repurchases were as follows (in millions):

	Aggregate Principal Amount Repurchased		Aggregate Repurchase Price(1)
8.50% Senior notes due 2019	$	54.6	$	60.1
6.875% Senior notes due 2020	100.1		105.1
4.70% Senior notes due 2021	39.4		39.3
Total	$	194.1	$	204.5

⁽¹⁾   Excludes accrued interest paid to holders of the repurchased senior notes.

Maturities

Our next debt maturity is $237.6 million during 2019, followed by $450.9 million and $269.7 million during 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Revolving Credit

We have a $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to be used for general corporate purposes, of which $1.12 billion of availability expires on September 30, 2019 and $1.13 billion expires on September 30, 2020 (the "Credit Facility").

Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate (currently 0.50% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.50% per annum for LIBOR advances) depending on our credit rating. Also, our quarterly commitment fee is 0.225% per annum on the undrawn portion of the $2.25 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating.  Recent credit rating actions have resulted in the highest applicable margin rate on borrowings and our quarterly commitment fee.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio that is less than or equal to 60%. The Credit Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among others, prohibitions on creating, incurring or assuming certain debt and liens; entering into certain merger arrangements; selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; making a material change in the nature of the business; and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. We have the right, subject to receipt of commitments from new or existing lenders, to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility by an amount not exceeding $500 million and to extend the maturity of the commitments under the Credit Facility by one additional year.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance in all material respects with our covenants under the Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Our access to credit and capital markets depends on the credit ratings assigned to our debt. As a result of recent rating actions, we no longer maintain an investment-grade status. Our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, could limit our available options when accessing credit and capital markets, or when restructuring or refinancing our debt. In addition, future financings or refinancings may result in higher borrowing costs and require more restrictive terms and covenants, which may further restrict our operations. With a credit rating below investment grade, we have no access to the commercial paper market.

Benefit Plans

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we granted 5.2 million non-vested share awards to our employees pursuant to our 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 4.5 million will be settled in cash upon vesting. Grants of our non-vested share awards generally vest at rates of 20% or 33% per year, as determined by a committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The non-vested share awards have dividend rights effective on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards to be settled in cash is remeasured each quarter with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in our share price. The weighted-average grant date fair value for our non-vested share awards that were granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $6.33.

Income Taxes

Components of Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Continuing Operations [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We have historically calculated our provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to pre-tax income or loss, excluding discrete items, for the reporting period. We determined that since small changes in estimated pre-tax income or loss would result in significant changes in our estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method utilized would not provide a reliable estimate of income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. We will continue to evaluate income tax estimates under the historical method in subsequent quarters and employ a discrete effective tax rate method if warranted.

Discrete income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $2.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to the Exchange Offers and debt repurchases, a restructuring transaction, the effective settlement of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits associated with a tax position taken in prior years and a settlement of a previously disclosed legal contingency. Discrete income tax expense of $2.0 million and $5.4 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, resulted primarily from the gain on debt extinguishment, income from the ENSCO DS-9 lump-sum consideration and restructuring transactions involving certain of our subsidiaries.

Brazil Internal Investigation

Pride International LLC, formerly Pride International, Inc. (“Pride”), a company we acquired in 2011, commenced drilling operations in Brazil in 2001. In 2008, Pride entered into a drilling services agreement with Petrobras (the "DSA") for ENSCO DS-5, a drillship ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries, a shipyard in South Korea ("SHI"). Beginning in 2006, Pride conducted periodic compliance reviews of its business with Petrobras, and, after the acquisition of Pride, Ensco conducted similar compliance reviews.

We commenced a compliance review in early 2015 after media reports were released regarding ongoing investigations of various kickback and bribery schemes in Brazil involving Petrobras. While conducting our compliance review, we became aware of an internal audit report by Petrobras alleging irregularities in relation to the DSA. Upon learning of the Petrobras internal audit report, our Audit Committee appointed independent counsel to lead an investigation into the alleged irregularities. Further, in June and July 2015, we voluntarily contacted the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), respectively, to advise them of this matter and our Audit Committee’s investigation. Independent counsel, under the direction of our Audit Committee, has substantially completed its investigation by reviewing and analyzing available documents and correspondence and interviewing current and former employees involved in the DSA negotiations and the negotiation of the ENSCO DS-5 construction contract with SHI (the "DS-5 Construction Contract").

To date, our Audit Committee has found no evidence that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were aware of or involved in any wrongdoing, and our Audit Committee has found no evidence linking Ensco or Pride to any illegal acts committed by our former marketing consultant, who provided services to Pride and Ensco in connection with the DSA. Independent counsel has continued to provide the SEC and DOJ with updates throughout the investigation, including detailed briefings regarding its investigation and findings. We entered into one-year tolling agreement with the DOJ that expired in December 2016. We extended a tolling agreement with the SEC for 12 months until March 2018.

Subsequent to initiating our Audit Committee investigation, Brazilian court documents connected to the prosecution of former Petrobras directors and employees as well as certain other third parties, including our former marketing consultant, referenced the alleged irregularities cited in the Petrobras internal audit report. Our former marketing consultant has entered into a plea agreement with the Brazilian authorities. On January 10, 2016, Brazilian authorities filed an indictment against a former Petrobras director. This indictment states that the former Petrobras director received bribes paid out of proceeds from a brokerage agreement entered into for purposes of intermediating a drillship construction contract between SHI and Pride, which we believe to be the DS-5 Construction Contract. The parties to the brokerage agreement were a company affiliated with a person acting on behalf of the former Petrobras director, a company affiliated with our former marketing consultant, and SHI. The indictment alleges that amounts paid by SHI under the brokerage agreement ultimately were used to pay bribes to the former Petrobras director. The indictment does not state that Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees were involved in the bribery scheme or had any knowledge of the bribery scheme.

On January 4, 2016, we received a notice from Petrobras declaring the DSA void effective immediately. Petrobras’ notice alleges that our former marketing consultant both received and procured improper payments from SHI for employees of Petrobras and that Pride had knowledge of this activity and assisted in the procurement of and/or facilitated these improper payments. We disagree with Petrobras’ allegations. See "-DSA Dispute" below for additional information.

Outside of Petrobras’ allegations, we have not been contacted by any Brazil governmental authority regarding alleged wrongdoing by Pride or Ensco or any of their current or former employees related to this matter. We cannot predict whether any U.S., Brazilian or other governmental authority will seek to investigate Pride's involvement in this matter, or if a proceeding were opened, the scope or ultimate outcome of any such investigation. If the SEC or DOJ determines that violations of the FCPA have occurred, or if any governmental authority determines that we have violated applicable anti-bribery laws, they could seek civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties, against us, as well as changes to our business practices and compliance programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Although our internal investigation is substantially complete, we cannot predict whether any additional allegations will be made or whether any additional facts relevant to the investigation will be uncovered during the course of the investigation and what impact those allegations and additional facts will have on the timing or conclusions of the investigation. Our Audit Committee will examine any such additional allegations and additional facts and the circumstances surrounding them.

DSA Dispute

As described above, on January 4, 2016, Petrobras sent a notice to us declaring the DSA void effective immediately, reserving its rights and stating its intention to seek any restitution to which it may be entitled. We disagree with Petrobras’ declaration that the DSA is void. We believe that Petrobras repudiated the DSA and have therefore accepted the DSA as terminated on April 8, 2016 (the "Termination Date"). At this time, we cannot reasonably determine the validity of Petrobras' claim or the range of our potential exposure, if any. As a result, there can be no assurance as to how this dispute will ultimately be resolved.

We did not recognize revenue for amounts owed to us under the DSA from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 through the Termination Date, as we concluded that collectability of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, our receivables from Petrobras related to the DSA from prior to the fourth quarter of 2015 are fully reserved in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. We have initiated arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against Petrobras seeking payment of all amounts owed to us under the DSA, in addition to any other amounts to which we are entitled, and intend to vigorously pursue our claims. Petrobras subsequently filed a counterclaim seeking restitution of certain sums paid under the DSA less value received by Petrobras under the DSA. We have also initiated separate arbitration proceedings in the U.K. against SHI for any losses we have incurred in connection with the foregoing. SHI subsequently filed a statement of defense disputing our claim. There can be no assurance as to how these arbitration proceedings will ultimately be resolved.

Customer Dispute

A customer filed a lawsuit in Texas federal court against one of our subsidiaries claiming damages based on allegations that our subsidiary breached and was negligent in the performance of a drilling contract during the period beginning in mid-2011 through May 2012. The customer's court documents alleged damages totaling approximately $40 million.During the second quarter, we settled the lawsuit and agreed to pay the customer $9.8 million, which was recognized in contract drilling expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Proposed Atwood Merger

On June 23, 2017, a putative class action captioned Bernard Stern v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood, Atwood’s directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub. The Stern complaint generally alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors disseminated a false or misleading registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) on June 16, 2017, which omitted material information regarding the proposed Merger, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the Stern complaint alleges that Atwood and the Atwood directors omitted material information regarding the parties’ financial projections, the analysis performed by Atwood’s financial advisor, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), in support of its fairness opinion, the timing and nature of communications regarding post-transaction employment of Atwood's directors and officers, potential conflicts of interest of Goldman Sachs, and whether there were further discussions with another potential acquirer of Atwood following the May 30, 2017 announcement of the Merger. The Stern complaint further alleges that the Atwood directors, Ensco plc and Merger Sub are liable for these violations as “control persons” of Atwood under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. With respect to Ensco plc, the Stern complaint alleges that Ensco plc had direct supervisory control over the composition of the Registration Statement. The Stern complaint seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger is consummated, and an award of attorneys’ fees, in addition to other relief.

On June 27, 2017, June 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, additional putative class actions captioned Joseph Composto v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al, Booth Family Trust v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., et al and Mary Carter v. Atwood Oceanics, Inc., respectively, were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Atwood and Atwood’s directors. These actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by Atwood and Atwood’s directors similar to those alleged in the Stern complaint; however, neither Ensco plc nor Merger Sub is named as a defendant in these actions.

Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may be filed in the future. There can be no assurance that we or any of the other defendants will be successful in the outcome of these or any potential future lawsuits. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the Merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the completion of the Merger. We believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the lawsuit filed against us and any other future lawsuits challenging the transaction.

Other Matters

In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business with customers and others, we have entered into letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2017 totaled $50.6 million and were issued under facilities provided by various banks and other financial institutions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of June 30, 2017, we had not been required to make collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

Concentration of Risk

We are exposed to credit risk relating to our receivables from customers, our cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments and our use of derivatives in connection with the management of foreign currency exchange rate risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to receivables from customers, which consist primarily of major international, government-owned and independent oil and gas companies, by performing ongoing credit evaluations. We also maintain reserves for potential credit losses, which generally have been within management's expectations. We mitigate our credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by focusing on diversification and quality of instruments. Cash equivalents consist of a portfolio of high-grade instruments. Custody of cash and cash equivalents is maintained at several well-capitalized financial institutions, and we monitor the financial condition of those financial institutions.  

We mitigate our credit risk relating to derivative counterparties through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events or set-off provisions.  Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.  See "Note 3 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“Update 2016-16”), which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transaction occurs as opposed to deferring tax consequences and amortizing them into future periods. We adopted Update 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis effective January 1, 2017. As a result of modified retrospective application, we reduced prepaid taxes on intercompany transfers of property and related deferred tax liabilities resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect reduction in retained earnings of $14.1 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2017. We do not expect a material impact to our 2017 operating results as a result of the adoption of Update 2016-16.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting("Update 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted Update 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. Our adoption of Update 2016-09 did not result in any cumulative effect on retained earnings and no adjustments have been made to prior periods. The new standard will cause volatility in our effective tax rates primarily due to the new requirement that companies recognize additional tax benefits or expenses in earnings related to the vesting or settlement of employee share-based awards, rather than in additional paid-in capital, during the period in which they occur. Furthermore, forfeitures are now recorded as they occur as opposed to estimating an allowance for future forfeitures.

During 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Update 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Subsequent to the issuance of Update 2014-09, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standards Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. Update 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and may be adopted using a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective with a cumulative catch-up approach. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2014-09 and Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Update 2016-02"), we expect to adopt Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect that Update 2014-09 and Update 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Update 2016-02, which requires an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key qualitative and quantitative information about the entity's leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required. During our evaluation of Update 2016-02, we have concluded that our drilling contracts contain a lease component, and upon adoption, we will be required to separately recognize revenues associated with the lease of our drilling rigs and the provision of contract drilling services. Due to the significant interaction between Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09, we expect to adopt both updates concurrently with an effective date of January 1, 2018. We expect to apply the modified retrospective approach to our adoption. Adoption will result in increased disclosure of the nature of our leasing arrangements and may result in variability in our revenue recognition patterns relative to current U.S. GAAP based on the provisions in each of our drilling contracts. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we expect to recognize lease liabilities and offsetting "right of use" assets ranging from approximately $60 million to $80 million upon adoption, based on our portfolio of leases as of June 30, 2017. We are currently evaluating the other impacts that Update 2016-02 and Update 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
