ARO Drilling, of which Rowan owns 50%, generated revenue and net income of $130.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $48.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the period October 17, 2017 to December 31, 2017. ARO Drilling's financial information is included in this release.
Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The oil markets experienced a high level of volatility at the end of last year, but have since staged a moderate recovery so far in 2019. Despite the market volatility, Rowan has been awarded a number of new drilling contracts and extensions, both for our drillships and jack-up rigs, which we believe reflects on our high-quality assets and operational performance. As we look forward to 2019, we are cautiously optimistic that oil market stability at current levels will be supportive of improvements in overall offshore rig demand."
Dr. Burke adds, "We are excited about our pending combination with Ensco, which received shareholder approval last week. The new company will be ideally positioned to benefit from the anticipated long-term improvements in offshore rig demand, with many of the best assets in the industry and a global reach to customers, while also benefiting from the substantial cost synergies that are only available as a combined entity."

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

(1) Available rig days and utilization exclude cold-stacked days. For rigs leased to ARO, the number of available days is based on the number of days available for hire under the Bareboat Charter lease to ARO. Utilization for rigs leased to
ARO, includes the number of days on hire under Bareboat Charter to ARO divided by the number of available days.
(2) Revenue-producing days for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 includes 33 days and 125 days, respectively, for the Deepwater drillship Rowan Reliance when it was not operating. The drillship did not operate in the third
and fourth quarter of 2017, but was available for Cobalt through November 2, 2017 per the 2016 contract amendment. Revenue of $41 million and $70 million, previously deferred in 2016, was recognized during the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2017, respectively, related to these days for which the rig was available to Cobalt but was not operating as well as the recognition of any remaining deferred revenue at November 2, 2017 as Cobalt did not exercise their right to
use the rig.
(3) All revenue and performance metrics exclude the results of rigs owned by ARO beginning on October 17, 2017 and October 1, 2018, the dates such rigs were sold to ARO.
(4) For rigs leased to ARO, revenue-producing days includes the number of days on hire under Bareboat Charter lease to ARO.
(5) Average day rates exclude other revenue, which is revenue received for rebillabiles, secondment, transition services and other miscellaneous. Day rate revenue includes contractual rates, Bareboat Charter lease revenue from ARO and amounts
for rig mobilization, unconstrained demobilization or capital improvements, which are amortized over the expected recognition period of the contract.
(6) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, revenue for this calculation includes $27.8 million related to the Anadarko early contract termination fee to which there are no associated revenue-producing days.
(7) Rebillable operating costs equally offset with rebillable revenue.
(8) Includes secondment revenue from ARO.
