HOUSTON, March 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vantage Drilling International ("Vantage" or the “Company”) reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of approximately $23.5 million or $1.79 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to a net loss attributable to controlling interest of $44.9 million or $3.42 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Vantage reported net loss attributable to controlling interest of approximately $110.1 million or $8.40 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss attributable to controlling interest of $276.7 million or $21.10 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, Vantage had approximately $90.6 million in cash, including $17.3 million of restricted cash, compared to $154.5 million in cash, including $12.5 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2020. The Company used $70.4 million in cash from operations in 2021 compared to $85.3 million used in 2020.
Ihab Toma, CEO, commented: “After an extremely challenging prior year, 2021 represented a year of recovery and higher utilization for the industry and Vantage. Much like 2019, all of our active rigs returned to work and we entered the new-year on the back of a stronger crude oil and natural gas environment. We seem to have passed an inflection point and rig active supply is reaching a tight balance with demand in both the deepwater and shallow water segments of the market.”
Mr. Toma continued, “The year was book-ended by two important events for the Company. We were awarded in January 2021 additional high specification rigs to manage, reflecting confidence in our efficient management platform. Then in December, we announced the execution of an agreement to sell three of our jack-up rigs to, along with the entry into a global strategic alliance with, members of the ADES Group. The common thread throughout the year connecting these two transactions, however, was the consistently strong performance by our operations team, delivering a very high caliber of service to our clients.”
Vantage, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an offshore drilling contractor, with a fleet of two 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.
