Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements On April 11, 2019, we completed our combination with Rowan Companies Limited (formerly named Rowan Companies plc) ("Rowan") and effected a four-to-one share consolidation (being a reverse stock split under English law or the "Reverse Stock Split") and changed our name to Ensco Rowan plc. On July 30, 2019, we changed our name to Valaris plc. All share and per-share amounts in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Valaris plc and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Valaris," "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, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our 2018 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. 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 quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 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 quarter ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2019. 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, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting standards Derivatives and Hedging - In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("Update 2017-12"), which makes more hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, amends presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness, including the elimination of separate measurement and recognition of ineffectiveness on designated hedging instruments. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted Update 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. As a result, beginning on the effective date, we will no longer separately measure and recognize ineffectiveness on our designated cash flow hedges. Update 2017-02 requires a modified retrospective adoption approach whereby amounts previously recorded to earnings for hedge ineffectiveness on hedging relationships that exist as of the adoption date are recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. As of our adoption date, we had no amounts previously recorded for ineffectiveness for hedging relationships that existed as of our adoption date and therefore no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was recorded. Leases - During 2016, the FASB issued Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("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. During our evaluation of Update 2016-02, we concluded that our drilling contracts contain a lease component. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which (1) provided for a new transition method whereby entities could elect to adopt the Update using a prospective with cumulative catch-up approach (the "effective date method") and (2) provided lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component under Topic 606 when the non-lease component is the predominant element of the combined component. The lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the lease, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease under Topic 842. We adopted Update 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019, using the effective date method. With respect to our drilling contracts, which contain a lease component, we elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component under Topic 606. With respect to all of our drilling contracts that existed on the adoption date, we concluded that the criteria to elect the lessor practical expedient had been met. As a result, we will continue to recognize the revenue associated with our drilling contracts under Topic 606. Therefore, we do not expect any change in our revenue recognition patterns or disclosures as a result of our adoption of Topic 842. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we elected several practical expedients afforded under Topic 842. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of Topic 842, including the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes, with the exception of office space. Furthermore, we also elected the practical expedient that permits entities not to apply the recognition requirements for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Upon adoption of Update 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, we recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $64.6 million and $53.7 million, respectively. See Note 14 for additional information. Recently issued accounting standards Defined Benefit Plans - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. We will be required to adopt the amended guidance in annual and interim reports beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this amendment will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Update 2016-13"), which requires companies to measure credit losses of financial instruments, including customer accounts receivable, utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Update 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amendment will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
