Discontinued Operations
    
During 2014, management committed to a plan to sell six floaters and two jackups. ENSCO 5000, ENSCO 5001, ENSCO 5002, ENSCO 6000, ENSCO 7500, ENSCO DS-2, ENSCO 58 and ENSCO 90 were removed from our portfolio of rigs marketed for contract drilling services. The operating results from these rigs were included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

On a quarterly basis, we reassess the fair values of our "held for sale" rigs to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying values are necessary. We recorded pre-tax, non-cash losses on impairment of $25.6 million and $32.8 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as a result of declines in the estimated fair values of several "held for sale" rigs. The loss on impairment is included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015. We measured the fair value of "held for sale" rigs by applying a market approach, which was based on an unobservable third-party estimated price that would be received in exchange for the assets in an orderly transaction between market participants.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, we sold ENSCO 5002 for net proceeds of $1.6 million. The proceeds from the sale were included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.6 million in connection with the disposal. The gain on sale was included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we completed the sale of ENSCO 5000 for net proceeds of $1.3 million. The remaining six rigs (ENSCO 5001, ENSCO 6000, ENSCO 7500, ENSCO DS-2, ENSCO 58 and ENSCO 90) are being actively marketed and were classified as "held for sale" on our September 30, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, we sold ENSCO 93, a jackup contracted to Petroleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”). In connection with the sale, we executed a charter agreement with the purchaser to continue operating the rig for the remainder of the Pemex contract, which ended in July 2015, less than one year from the date of sale. Our management services following the sale did not constitute significant ongoing involvement and therefore, the $1.2 million loss on sale was included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014. ENSCO 93 operating results were included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Net proceeds from the sale of $51.7 million were included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2014.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, we sold jackup rig ENSCO 85 for net proceeds of $64.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $10.3 million in connection with the disposal. The gain on sale and operating results were included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, we sold ENSCO 69 and Pride Wisconsin for net proceeds of $32.2 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $23.6 million. The gain on sale and operating results were included in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. The net proceeds from the sale were received in December 2013 and included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013.
