Description Of The Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business We are a leading provider of offshore contract drilling services to the international oil and gas industry. We currently own an offshore drilling rig fleet of 61 rigs, with drilling operations in almost every major offshore market across five continents. Our rig fleet includes 11 drillships, four dynamically positioned semisubmersible rigs, one moored semisubmersible rig and 45 jackup rigs and a 50% equity interest in Saudi Aramco Rowan Offshore Drilling Company ("ARO"), our 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Aramco, which owns an additional seven rigs, We operate the world's largest fleet amongst competitive rigs, including one of the newest ultra-deepwater fleets in the industry and a leading premium jackup fleet. Our customers include many of the leading national and international oil companies, in addition to many independent operators. We are among the most geographically diverse offshore drilling companies, with current operations spanning nine countries on five continents. The markets in which we operate include the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, the Middle East, West Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia. We provide drilling services on a day rate contract basis. Under day rate contracts, we provide an integrated service that includes the provision of a drilling rig and rig crews for which we receive a daily rate that may vary between the full rate and zero rate throughout the duration of the contractual term, depending on the operations of the rig. We also may receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for the mobilization, demobilization and capital upgrades of our rigs. Our customers bear substantially all of the costs of constructing the well and supporting drilling operations, as well as the economic risk relative to the success of the well. Chapter 11 Cases and Restructuring Support Agreement On August 19, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Valaris plc and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors obtained joint administration of their chapter 11 cases under the caption In re Valaris plc, et al., Case No. 20-34114 (MI) (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). On August 18, 2020, the Debtors entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement (the "Original RSA") with certain senior note holders (collectively, the "Consenting Noteholders"). On February 5, 2021, the Debtors entered into the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amended RSA”) with the Consenting Noteholders and holders of approximately 100% of the total commitments under our revolving credit facility (the “Consenting Lenders” and, together with the Consenting Noteholders, the “Consenting Creditors”), which contemplates that the Company will implement the restructuring through the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to a plan of reorganization and the various related transactions set forth in or contemplated by the Amended RSA. See “Note 2 – Chapter 11 Proceedings and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” for additional details regarding the Chapter 11 Cases and Amended RSA. Basis of Presentation—U.K. Companies Act 2006 Section 435 Statement The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which the Board of Directors consider to be the most meaningful presentation of our results of operations and financial position. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not constitute U.K. statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as required to be prepared under the U.K. Companies Act 2006. The U.K. statutory accounts are prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the financial reporting standard applicable in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”). The auditor has reported on the U.K. statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2019; their report was (1) unqualified, (2) for the year ended December 31, 2019 included reference to a matter to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report in respect of a material uncertainty in respect of going concern and (3) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the U.K. Companies Act 2006. The U.K. statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020 have yet to be finalized and, if required, will be delivered to the U.K. registrar of companies during 2021. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valaris plc, those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in operating entities in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but where we do not control operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence generally exists if we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. We account for our interest in ARO using the equity method of accounting and only recognize our portion of equity in earnings in our consolidated financial statements. ARO is a variable interest entity; however, we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate ARO. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Pervasiveness of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Translation Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. Most transaction gains and losses, including certain gains and losses on our derivative instruments, are included in other, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. Certain gains and losses from the translation of foreign currency balances of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet. Net foreign currency exchange losses, inclusive of offsetting fair value derivatives, were $11.0 million, $7.4 million and $17.2 million, and were included in other, net, in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Highly liquid investments with maturities of greater than three months but less than one year at the date of purchase are classified as short-term investments. There were no short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Cash flows from purchases and maturities of short-term investments were classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. To mitigate our credit risk, our investments in time deposits have historically been diversified across multiple, high-quality financial institutions. Property and Equipment All costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, construction, major enhancement and improvement of assets are capitalized, including allocations of interest incurred during periods that our drilling rigs are under construction or undergoing major enhancements and improvements. Costs incurred to place an asset into service are capitalized, including costs related to the initial mobilization of a newbuild drilling rig. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to contract drilling expense in the period in which they are incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet, and the resulting gain or loss is included in contract drilling expense. Our property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis, after allowing for salvage values, over the estimated useful lives of our assets. Drilling rigs and related equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from four to 35 years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from seven to 30 years. Other equipment, including computer and communications hardware and software costs, is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 6 years. We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment, primarily our drilling rigs, on a quarterly basis to identify events or changes in circumstances ("triggering events") that indicate that the carrying value of such rigs may not be recoverable. For property and equipment used in our operations, recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of an asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value. Property and equipment held-for-sale is recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value less cost to sell. We recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment losses related to long-lived assets of $3.6 billion, $104.0 million and $40.3 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. See "Note 6 - Property and Equipment" for additional information on our impairment charges. Operating Revenues and Expenses See "Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" for information on our accounting policies for revenue recognition and certain operating costs that are deferred and amortized over future periods. Derivative Instruments We did not have any open derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020. However, we have historically used derivatives to reduce our exposure to various market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange rate risk. See "Note 9 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on how and why we used derivatives and the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases. Derivatives are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements are not offset on our consolidated balance sheet. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting when they are formally designated as hedges and are effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as hedges of the variability in expected future cash flows associated with existing recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions ("cash flow hedges") are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). Amounts recorded in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges are subsequently reclassified into contract drilling, depreciation or interest expense as earnings are affected by the underlying hedged forecasted transactions. Gains and losses on a cash flow hedge, or a portion of a cash flow hedge, that no longer qualifies as effective due to an unanticipated change in the forecasted transaction are recognized currently in earnings and included in other, net, in our consolidated statement of operations based on the change in the fair value of the derivative. When a forecasted transaction becomes probable of not occurring, gains and losses on the derivative previously recorded in AOCI are reclassified currently into earnings and included in other, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. Historically, we occasionally would enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities but do not designate such derivatives as hedges or the derivatives otherwise do not qualify for hedge accounting. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists where changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized currently in earnings in other, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. Derivatives with asset fair values are reported in other current assets or other assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheet depending on maturity date. Derivatives with liability fair values are reported in accrued liabilities and other, or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet depending on maturity date. Income Taxes We conduct operations and earn income in numerous countries. Current income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable based on the laws and income tax rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which operations are conducted and income is earned. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect at year-end. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We do not offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities attributable to different tax paying jurisdictions. We operate in certain jurisdictions where tax laws relating to the offshore drilling industry are not well developed and change frequently. Furthermore, we may enter into transactions with affiliates or employ other tax planning strategies that generally are subject to complex tax regulations. As a result of the foregoing, the tax liabilities and assets we recognize in our financial statements may differ from the tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in our tax returns. Our tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties relating to income taxes are included in current income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Our drilling rigs frequently move from one taxing jurisdiction to another based on where they are contracted to perform drilling services. The movement of drilling rigs among taxing jurisdictions may involve a transfer of drilling rig ownership among our subsidiaries through an intercompany rig sale. The pre-tax profit resulting from an intercompany rig sale is eliminated from our consolidated financial statements, and the carrying value of a rig sold in an intercompany transaction remains at historical net depreciated cost prior to the transaction. Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect the asset disposition transaction of the selling subsidiary or the asset acquisition transaction of the acquiring subsidiary. The income tax effects resulting from intercompany rig sales are recognized in earnings in the period in which the sale occurs. In some instances, we may determine that certain temporary differences will not result in a taxable or deductible amount in future years, as it is more-likely-than-not we will commence operations and depart from a given taxing jurisdiction without such temporary differences being recovered or settled. Under these circumstances, no future tax consequences are expected and no deferred taxes are recognized in connection with such operations. We evaluate these determinations on a periodic basis and, in the event our expectations relative to future tax consequences change, the applicable deferred taxes are recognized or derecognized. We do not provide deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of certain subsidiaries because our policy and intention is to reinvest such earnings indefinitely. Should we make a distribution from these subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to additional income taxes. Share-Based Compensation We sponsor share-based compensation plans that provide equity compensation to our key employees, officers and non-employee directors. Subject to applicable bankruptcy law, our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”) allows our Board of Directors to authorize share grants to be settled in cash or shares. Compensation expense for share awards to be settled in shares is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Compensation expense for share awards to be settled in cash is remeasured each quarter with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in our share price. Any adjustments to the compensation cost recognized in our consolidated statement of operations for awards that are forfeited are recognized in the period in which the forfeitures occur. See "Note 11 - Share Based Compensation" for additional information on our share-based compensation. Pension and Other Post-retirement benefit plans We measure our actuarially determined obligations and related costs for our defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans, retiree life and medical supplemental plan benefits, by applying assumptions, the most significant of which include long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rates and mortality rates. For the long-term rate of return, we develop our assumptions regarding the expected rate of return on plan assets based on historical experience and projected long-term investment returns, and we weight the assumptions based on each plan's asset allocation. For the discount rate, we base our assumptions on a yield curve approach. Actual results may differ from the assumptions included in these calculations. If gains or losses exceed 10% of the greater of the plan assets or plan liabilities, we amortize such gains or losses into income over either the period of expected future service of active participants, or over the expected average remaining lifetime of all participants. We recognize gains or losses related to plan curtailments at the date the plan amendment or termination is adopted which may precede the effective date. Fair Value Measurements We measure certain of our assets and liabilities based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy assigns the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ("Level 1") and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs ("Level 3"). Level 2 measurements represent inputs that are observable for similar assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. See "Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the fair value measurement of certain of our assets and liabilities. Noncontrolling Interests Third parties hold a noncontrolling ownership interest in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests are classified as equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately in our consolidated statement of operations. For each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, all income attributable to noncontrolling interest was from continuing operations. Earnings Per Share We compute basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the two-class method. Net loss attributable to Valaris used in our computations of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted to exclude net income allocated to non-vested shares granted to our employees and non-employee directors. Weighted-average shares outstanding used in our computation of diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and includes the effect of all potentially dilutive stock options and excludes non-vested shares. In each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, our potentially dilutive instruments were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. The following table is a reconciliation of loss from continuing operations attributable to Valaris shares used in our basic and diluted EPS computations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020 (in millions):
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Loss from continuing operations attributable to Valaris | $ | (4,855.5) |  |  | $ | (198.0) |  |  | $ | (631.6) |
Income from continuing operations allocated to non-vested share awards (1) | — |  |  | (.1) |  |  | (.5) |
Loss from continuing operations attributable to Valaris shares | $ | (4,855.5) |  |  | $ | (198.1) |  |  | $ | (632.1) |
(1) Losses are not allocated to non-vested share awards. Due to the net loss position, potentially dilutive share awards are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Anti-dilutive share awards totaling 400,000, 300,000 and 1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Under the terms of our debt agreement, we have the option to settle our 3.00% exchangeable senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Convertible Notes") in cash, shares or a combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion. However, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on August 19, 2020 constituted an event of default under the 2024 Convertible Notes. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the 2024 Convertible Notes, including any rights to require the repurchase by the Company of the 2024 Convertible Notes upon the NYSE delisting of the Class A ordinary shares, are automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. During each respective reporting period that our average share price exceeds the exchange price, an assumed number of shares required to settle the conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount will be included in our denominator for the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Our average share price did not exceed the exchange price during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Pursuant to the terms contemplated in the Amended RSA, upon emergence from bankruptcy, our existing Class A ordinary shares will be cancelled. Depending on certain implementation mechanisms in the restructuring related to our Class A ordinary shares and satisfaction of the applicable support requirements set forth in the Amended RSA, the existing Class A ordinary shares may be exchanged for 7-year warrants to purchase up to 7% of the New Equity (subject to dilution on account of the management incentive plan contemplated by the Amended RSA). The strike price of such warrants, if granted, will be set at a price per share equal to the value at which the senior noteholders would receive a 100% recovery on their claims, including accrued interest up to the Petition Date. See “Note 2 - Chapter 11 Proceedings and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” for additional information related to our Amended RSA.” Bankruptcy Accounting The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern. See “Note 2 – Chapter 11 Proceedings and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” for additional details regarding the bankruptcy and circumstances raising substantial doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, we have segregated liabilities and obligations whose treatment and satisfaction are dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases and have classified these items as "Liabilities Subject to Compromise” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we have classified all income, expenses, gains or losses that were incurred or realized as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases subsequent to the Petition Date as “Reorganization Items” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We anticipate that we will adopt fresh start accounting upon our emergence from chapter 11, becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result, upon emergence, the Company’s assets and liabilities will generally be reported at fair value and will reconcile to the enterprise value confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. These fair values are expected to differ materially from the amounts reflected on our historical balance sheet. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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. Subsequent to the issuance of Update 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standard Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. We adopted Update 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 with no material impact to our financial statements upon adoption as our previously estimated reserves were in line with expected credit losses calculated under Update 2016-13. Defined Benefit Plans - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ("Update 2018-14"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. We are required to adopt the amended guidance in annual and interim reports beginning after December 15, 2020, but early adoption is permitted. Adoption is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We adopted Update 2018-14 effective January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Financial Disclosures about Guarantors - In March 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued final rule 33-10762, “Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities.” In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 ("Update 2020-09"), which amends ASC 470, Debt, for this rule. The Rule suspends the requirement to disclose condensed financial information within the financial statements for entities whose debt securities are not listed on a national exchange, and meet the reporting obligation under Section 15(d)(1) of the Exchange Act if, on the first day of any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which the Securities Act registration statement related to the debt securities becomes effective, there are fewer than 300 record holders of the class of debt securities. The Final Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the Rule effective December 31, 2020 and as we meet the requirements for suspension, we no longer provide condensed consolidated financial information that resulted from the debt obligations of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Pride International LLC and Ensco International Incorporated. Accounting pronouncements to be adopted Income Taxes - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("Update 2019-12"), which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. We are required to adopt the amended guidance in annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The various amendments in Update 2019-12 are applied on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis and prospective basis, depending on the amendment. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("Update 2020-04"), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in Update 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The provisions in Update 2020-04 are effective upon issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. Convertible Instruments - In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” ("Update 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this amendment may have on our consolidated financial statements. With the exception of the updated standards discussed above, there have been no accounting pronouncements issued and not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our consolidated financial statements.
