Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Valaris Limited and its subsidiaries ("Valaris" or "Successor") 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, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our 2021 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. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any future period. 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, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022 (our "Annual Report"). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Please refer to "Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Consolidated Financial Statements from our Annual Report for the discussion of our significant accounting policies. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Fresh Start Accounting As described in "Note 1. Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "Note 2. Chapter 11 Proceedings" and "Note 3. Fresh Start Accounting" from our Annual Report, we filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy on August 19, 2020 (the “Petition Date”) and on April 30, 2021 (the "Effective Date") emerged from bankruptcy. References to the financial position and results of operations of the "Successor" relate to the financial position and results of operations of Valaris Limited, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, after the Effective Date. References to the financial position and results of operations of the "Predecessor" refer to the financial position and results of operations of Valaris plc ("Legacy Valaris"), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, on and prior to the Effective Date. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Quarterly Report are to Valaris Limited, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, when referring to periods following the Effective Date, and to Legacy Valaris, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, when referring to periods prior to and including the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, we qualified for and applied fresh start accounting. The application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting, and we became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our financial statements and notes after the Effective Date are not comparable to our financial statements and notes on and prior to that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been presented with a black line division to delineate the lack of comparability between the Predecessor and Successor. Historical financial statements on or before the Effective Date are not a reliable indicator of the Company's financial condition and results of operations for any period after the adoption of fresh start accounting. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Leases - In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842); Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments,” (“Update 2021-05”) which requires a lessor to classify a lease with entirely or partially variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if another classification (i.e. sales-type or direct financing) would trigger a day-one loss. Update 2021-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update January 1, 2022 using a prospective method, with no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements to be adopted Reference Rate Reform - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. Our notes receivable with Saudi Aramco Rowan Offshore Drilling Company, our 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Aramco ("ARO"), from which we generate interest income on a LIBOR-based rate, are impacted by the application of this standard. As the notes bear interest on the LIBOR rate determined at the end of the preceding year, the rate governing our interest income in 2022 has already been determined. We expect to be able to modify the terms of our notes receivable to a comparable interest rate before the applicable LIBOR rate is no longer available and as such, do not expect this standard to have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations - In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“Update 2021-08”). ASU No. 2021-08 requires an entity (acquirer) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 and provides practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments also apply to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply, such as contract liabilities for the sale of nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. The FASB issued the update to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. Update 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt Update 2021-08 in the period required and will apply it to any business combination completed subsequent to the adoption. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
