Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment to identify events or changes in circumstances ("triggering events") that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

During the first quarter, the coronavirus global pandemic and the response thereto has negatively impacted the macro-economic environment and global economy. Global oil demand has fallen sharply at the same time global oil supply has increased as a result of certain oil producers competing for market share, leading to a supply glut. As a consequence, Brent crude oil has fallen from around $60 per barrel at year-end 2019 to around $20 per barrel as of mid-April 2020. In response to dramatically reduced oil price expectations for the near term, our customers are reviewing and in most cases lowering significantly, their capital expenditure plans in light of revised pricing expectations. Customers are expected to continue to operate under reduced budgets until we see a meaningful recovery in commodity prices. The significant supply and demand imbalance will continue to be adversely impacted by future newbuild deliveries, program delays and lower capital spending by operators. These adverse changes in the first quarter resulted in further deterioration in our forecasted day rates and utilization for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. As a result, we concluded that a triggering event had occurred and we performed a fleet-wide recoverability test. We determined that our estimated undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying values of certain rigs and concluded such were impaired as of March 31, 2020.

Based on the asset impairment analysis performed as of March 31, 2020, we recorded a pre-tax, non-cash loss on impairment with respect to certain floaters, jackups and spare equipment totaling $2.8 billion. The impairment charge was included in loss on impairment in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We measured the fair value of these assets to be $72.3 million as of March 31, 2020 by applying either an income approach, using projected discounted cash flows or estimated scrap value. These valuations were based on unobservable inputs that require significant judgments for which there is limited information, including, in the case of an income approach, assumptions regarding future day rates, utilization, operating costs and capital requirements.

In instances where we applied an income approach, forecasted day rates and utilization take into account current market conditions and our anticipated business outlook, both of which have been impacted by the adverse changes in the business environment observed during the first quarter.
