Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract] |
Property And Equipment | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following (in millions):
|  | December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Drilling rigs and equipment |  | $ | 1,312.5 |  |  | $ | 1,036.5 |
Work-in-progress (1) |  | 537.0 |  |  | 59.8 |
Other |  | 39.5 |  |  | 38.2 |
|  | $ | 1,889.0 |  |  | $ | 1,134.5 |
(1)Work-in-progress as of December 31, 2023 includes the Newbuild Drillships, which were purchased for approximately $337.0 million, and a $13.1 million asset representing the fair value of the corresponding purchase option and embedded put option which was reclassified from Other assets upon purchase of the rigs. In December 2023, when the Company exercised its options to purchase the Newbuild Drillships, the corresponding put options expired and the Shipyard retained the Common shares issued to them in the plan of reorganization. See "Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting" for additional information about these options. Assets held-for-use 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. For rigs whose carrying values are determined not to be recoverable, we record an impairment for the difference between their fair values and carrying values. Successor In June 2022, the drilling contract previously awarded to VALARIS DS-11 was terminated. As of the date of termination, we had incurred costs to upgrade the rig pursuant to the requirements of the contract. Costs incurred related to these capital upgrades were included in work-in-progress and upon termination were determined to be impaired. We recorded a pre-tax, non-cash loss on impairment in the second quarter of 2022 of $34.5 million. See "Note 4 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" for additional information regarding the termination. Predecessor During the first quarter of 2021, as a result of challenging market conditions for certain of our floaters, we revised our near-term operating assumptions which resulted in a triggering event for purposes of evaluating impairment. We determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying values for certain rigs and concluded they were impaired as of March 31, 2021. Based on the asset impairment analysis performed as of March 31, 2021, we recorded a pre-tax, non-cash loss on impairment in the first quarter of 2021 for certain floaters totaling $756.5 million, inclusive of $5.6 million of gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into loss on impairment associated with related cash flow hedges. We measured the fair value of these assets to be $26.0 million at the time of impairment by applying either an income approach, using projected discounted cash flows, or estimated sales price. 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 took into account then current market conditions and our anticipated business outlook. Assets sold While taking into account certain restrictions on the sales of assets under our Indenture dated as of April 19, 2023 (the "Indenture”), as part of our strategy, we may act opportunistically from time to time to monetize assets to enhance stakeholder value and improve our liquidity profile, in addition to reducing holding costs by selling or disposing of lower-specification or non-core rigs. Gains recognized on sales of assets are included in Other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Successor During the year ended December 31, 2023 (Successor), we recognized a pre-tax gain of $27.3 million for the sale of VALARIS 54. During the year ended December 31, 2022 (Successor), we recognized an aggregate pre-tax gain of $130.5 million for the sales of VALARIS 113, VALARIS 114, VALARIS 36 and VALARIS 67. Additionally, we recognized pre-tax gains of $3.2 million and $7.0 million related to additional proceeds received for our 2021 sale of VALARIS 100 and 2020 sale of VALARIS 68, respectively, resulting from post-sale conditions of those sale agreements. During the eight months ended December 31, 2021, we sold VALARIS 22, VALARIS 37, VALARIS 100 and VALARIS 142, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $20.7 million. Predecessor In April 2021, we sold VALARIS 101 resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5.3 million. In March 2021, we sold our Australia office building resulting in an insignificant pre-tax gain.
