HOUSTON, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vantage Drilling International ("Vantage" or the “Company”) reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of approximately $31.9 million or $2.43 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2020, based on the weighted average shares outstanding after the conversion of our convertible notes in December 2019, as compared to a net income attributable to controlling interest of $590.7 million or $116.86 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019, included payments by Petrobras Venezuela Investments & Services, BV, a subsidiary of Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”), of approximately $690.8 million to Vantage Deepwater Company, one of our subsidiaries, and by Petrobras America, Inc., a subsidiary of Petrobras, of approximately $10.1 million to Vantage Deepwater Drilling, Inc., also one of our subsidiaries. The payments were made pursuant to an agreement between the parties and in satisfaction of the previously rendered arbitration award and related U.S. judgment confirming the award.
As of June 30, 2020, Vantage had approximately $188.4 million in cash, including $13.1 million of restricted cash, compared to $242.9 million in cash, including $11.0 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2019.
Ihab Toma, CEO, commented. “Despite the very challenging conditions for offshore drilling during the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis, we successfully completed the first ever well offshore Lebanon with the Tungsten Explorer during the second quarter and were awarded a new contract in Montenegro for the Topaz Driller. I am personally very proud of the quality and motivation of our employees and their focus on our customers, which allowed us to continue to deliver a strong performance across our operating fleet. We remain committed to maintaining this performance while operating safely and managing costs. During the quarter we commenced a plan to reduce costs across the board. We secured material price reductions from vendors, initiated significant headcount and salary reductions both onshore and offshore and implemented other cost reduction measures to reflect the lower levels of operating activity. While the decision to reduce personnel was difficult, we remain committed to seek measures to reduce our spending and to conserve cash while remaining focused on performance, but never at the expense of safety.”
Vantage, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an offshore drilling contractor, with a fleet of three ultra-deepwater drillships and five premium jackup drilling rigs. Vantage's primary business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells globally for major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies. Vantage also provides construction supervision services and preservation management services for, and will operate and manage, drilling units owned by others.
