CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the PSLRA, and are
including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. The PSLRA provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements
to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical or present facts or conditions.
These forward-looking statements can often, but not necessarily, be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the
terms "assumes", "projects", "forecasts", "estimates", "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "intends", "may", "might", "will",
"would", "can", "could", "should" or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and
other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond
our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this report on Form 6-K, and in the documents incorporated by
reference to this report, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements include:
our ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties following emergence from the
Chapter 11 proceedings;
our ability to maintain and obtain adequate financing to support our business plans following emergence from the Chapter 11
proceedings;
factors related to the offshore drilling market, including volatility and changes in oil and gas prices and the state of the global
economy on market outlook for our various geographical operating sectors and classes of rigs;

their loan agreements;
our ability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Euronext Expand market of the Oslo stock Exchange, or other
exchange where our common stock may be listed, or to cure any continued listing standard deficiency with respect thereto;
credit risks of our key customers;
political and other uncertainties, including political unrest, risks of terrorist acts, war and civil disturbances, public health
threats, piracy, corruption, significant governmental influence over many aspects of local economies, or the seizure,
nationalization or expropriation of property or equipment;
risks related to the ongoing geopolitical situation and sanctions imposed relating to the conflict in Ukraine;
the concentration of our revenues in certain geographical jurisdictions;
limitations on insurance coverage, such as war risk coverage, in certain regions;
any inability to repatriate income or capital;

We caution readers of this report on Form 6-K not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak to
circumstances only as at their dates. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events
or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge
from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on
our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those
contained in any forward-looking statement.
We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. You should read this report and the documents that we
have filed as exhibits to this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from
our expectations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the interim Financial
Statements presented in this report, as well as the historical Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of Seadrill Limited
included in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 29, 2022 (SEC File No. 001-39327) (the “20-F”). Among other
things, those financial statements include more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following information. The
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Seadrill Limited included in this report have been prepared in accordance with United
States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and are presented in US Dollars.
As used herein, the term "Predecessor" refers to the financial position and results of operations of Seadrill Limited prior to, and
including, February 22, 2022. This is also applicable to terms "we", "our", "Group" or "Company" in context of events prior to February
22, 2022. As used herein, the term "Successor" refers to the financial position and results of operations of Seadrill Limited (previously
"Seadrill 2021 Limited") after February 22, 2022 ("the Effective Date"). This is also applicable to terms "new successor", "we", "our",
"Group" or "Company" in context of events after February 22, 2022.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is designed to provide a reader of
our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:
Overview
Significant developments
Contract backlog
Market overview and trends
Results of operations
Liquidity and capital resources
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Critical accounting estimates
Overview
We are an offshore drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry. Our primary business is
the ownership and operation of drillships, semi-submersible rigs and jack-up rigs for operations in shallow to ultra-deepwater areas in
both benign and harsh environments. We contract our drilling units to drill wells for our customers on a dayrate basis. Our customers
include oil super-majors, state-owned national oil companies and independent oil and gas companies. In addition, we provide
management services to certain affiliated entities.
Through a number of acquisitions of companies, second-hand units and newbuildings, we have developed into a major international
offshore drilling contractor. As of the time of this report, we own 21 drilling rigs, lease two rigs from SFL Corporation, and manage seven
rigs on behalf of SeaMex (five) and Sonadrill (two).
Significant Developments since January 1, 2022
In this section we have set out important events in the development of our business. This includes information concerning the nature and
results of any material reclassification, merger or consolidation of the company or any of its significant subsidiaries; acquisitions or
dispositions of material assets other than in the ordinary course of business; any material changes in the mode of conducting the business;
material changes in the types of products produced or services rendered; name changes; or the nature and results of any bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceedings with respect to the company or significant subsidiaries. This section covers the period from the 
beginning of the financial year.
i. Chapter 11 Reorganization
On February 22, 2022, Seadrill concluded its comprehensive restructuring process and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings. The
following major changes to Seadrill’s capital structure were achieved through the restructuring:
1.Additional $350 million of liquidity raised;
2.Obligations under external credit facilities decreased from $5,662 million to $683 million of reinstated debt with maturity in
2027;
3.Future obligations under capital lease arrangements in respect of the West Taurus, West Hercules and West Linus substantially
eliminated; and
4.Elimination of guarantees previously provided to holders of the senior notes previously issued by the NSNCo group.
Seadrill emerged from bankruptcy with cash of $509 million, of which $355 million was unrestricted and $154 million was restricted. 
Seadrill also had $125 million undrawn on its new revolving credit facility which together with the unrestricted cash provided $480
million of liquidity to the Successor company. Following emergence, Seadrill had total debt obligations of $908 million at par value. This
comprised $683 million outstanding on reinstated credit facilities; $175 million drawn on its new term loan; and a $50 million convertible
bond.
In order to substantially eliminate future commitments under capital lease arrangements with SFL, Seadrill rejected the West Taurus lease
through the bankruptcy court in early 2021 and negotiated amendments to the leases of West Hercules and West Linus in August 2021 and
February 2022, respectively. The amended leases for West Hercules and West Linus are short term and we expect to deliver both rigs back
to SFL in 2022. In addition to reducing the lease terms, the lease amendments extinguished Seadrill’s obligations to purchase the units at
the end of the leases (amongst other changes).
4
As part of Seadrill’s wider process, NSNCo, the holding company for investments in SeaMex, Seabras Sapura, and Archer, concluded a
separate restructuring process on January 20, 2022. The restructuring was achieved using a pre-packaged Chapter 11 process and had the
following major impacts:
1.Holders of the senior secured notes issued by NSNCo (“notes”, “noteholders”) released Seadrill from all guarantees and
securities previously provided by Seadrill in respect of the notes;
2.Noteholders received a 65% equity interest in NSNCo with Seadrill’s equity interest thereby decreasing to 35%; and
3.Reinstatement in full of the notes on amended terms.
Related to the NSNCo restructuring, the noteholders also financed a restructuring of the bank debt of the SeaMex joint venture. This
enabled NSNCo to subsequently acquire a 100% equity interest in the SeaMex joint venture by way of a credit bid, which was executed
on November 2, 2021.
For a detailed description of Seadrill's comprehensive restructuring, please refer to Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements or
Note 4 of the financial statements included in Seadrill's annual report for the period ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the
SEC on April 29, 2022.
ii. Rig disposal program
Seadrill previously initiated a program to dispose of long-term cold stacked units. Under this program, all cold stacked units were
reviewed to identify units that were unlikely to secure work that offered a satisfactory return on the cost of the reactivation. In total ten
units were identified for disposal with seven units being sold in 2021 and the remaining three units being sold in 2022. The units sold in
2022 include the West Venture, Sevan Brasil and Sevan Driller. The West Venture was sold to Rota Shipping for recycling on January 19,
2022 for $7 million. The Sevan Brasil and Sevan Driller were sold to New Fortress Energy on April 7, 2022 for $24 million. Proceeds
from the disposals, less any costs to sell, were repaid to the lenders holding the relevant security following Seadrill's emergence from
Chapter 11.
iii. Listing on Euronext Expand
Following a successful listing application, Seadrill commenced trading of its common shares on the Euronext Expand market of the Oslo
Stock Exchange on April 28, 2022. Seadrill's shares trade under the ticker "SDRL". Seadrill expects to uplist to the main market of the
Oslo Stock Exchange and to pursue a listing on the New York Stock Exchange once it satisfies the applicable listing requirements.
Contract Backlog
Contract backlog includes all firm contracts at the contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm
contract period. For contracts which include a market indexed rate mechanism we utilize the current applicable dayrate multiplied by the
number of days remaining in the firm contract period. Contract backlog includes management contract revenues and lease revenues from
bareboat charter arrangements, denoted as "other" in the tables below. Contract backlog excludes revenues for mobilization,
demobilization and contract preparation or other incentive provisions and excludes backlog relating to non-consolidated entities.
The contract backlog for our fleet was as follows as at the dates specified:

Our contract backlog includes only firm commitments represented by signed drilling contracts. The full contractual operating dayrate may
differ to the actual dayrate we ultimately receive. For example, an alternative contractual dayrate, such as a waiting‑on‑weather rate,
repair rate, standby rate or force majeure rate, may apply under certain circumstances. The contractual operating dayrate may also differ
to the actual dayrate we ultimately receive because of several other factors, including rig downtime or suspension of operations. In certain
contracts, the dayrate may be reduced to zero if, for example, repairs extend beyond a stated period.
We project our March 31, 2022 contract backlog to unwind over the following periods:

The actual amounts of revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned will differ from the amounts and periods
shown in the tables above due to various factors, including shipyard and maintenance projects, unplanned downtime and other factors that
result in lower applicable dayrates than the full contractual operating dayrate. Additional factors that could affect the amount and timing
of actual revenue to be recognized include customer liquidity issues and contract terminations, which are available to our customers under
certain circumstances.

Market Overview and Trends
The below table shows the average oil price for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for each year ended December 31 over the
period 2019 to 2021. The Brent oil price at March 31, 2022 was $108.

An underlying increase in demand, especially following the end of the market constraints brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic,
combined with below target supply from OPEC and increased tension over the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to an increase in oil
prices over the first quarter of 2022, with prices exceeding $100. Such levels have not been seen in over seven years. However,
uncertainty related to the market balance and timing of the demand recovery remains.
The below table shows the global number of rigs on contract and marketed utilization at March 31, 2022 and for each of the three
preceding years ending December 31.

Global benign-environment floaters
Marketed utilization in 1Q 2022 trended above pre-COVID-19 levels driven by improved demand following low levels in 2020. The
improved utilization levels are mainly driven by an improved demand outlook, specifically in the drillship segment. The drillship market
is recovering at a faster rate than semi-submersibles, with drillship utilization above 90% at March 31, 2022 compared to 70% for semi-
submersibles. Note that the benign-environment floater figures in the table above include both drillship and semi-submersible markets.
Global benign environment jack-ups
Marketed utilization in the benign jack-up segment improved in 1Q 2022 with further improvement expected in the coming quarters due
to expected awards in the Middle East. Dayrates have also started to improve, supported by the incremental demand specifically in the
Middle East. With demand outlook expected to improve further in 2022, utilization and dayrates are expected to trend upwards in the
coming quarters.
Global harsh environment units
Marketed utilization in the harsh environment floater segment was consistent quarter on quarter and is expected to remain muted through
2022 and 2023 due to limited incremental demand and available supply. Harsh environment jack-up utilization improved primarily driven
by the UK market. 
Results of Operations and application of Fresh Start accounting
Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, on February 22, 2022, we adopted Fresh Start accounting in accordance with ASC 852,
Reorganizations ("ASC 852"). Adopting Fresh Start accounting results in a new financial reporting entity with no retained earnings or
deficits brought forward. Upon the adoption of Fresh Start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our assets and liabilities
based on their estimated fair values, which in certain cases differ materially from the recorded values of our assets and liabilities as
reflected in the Predecessor historical Consolidated Balance Sheets.
6
The effects of the Plan and the application of Fresh Start accounting were applied as of February 22, 2022 and the new basis of our assets
and liabilities are reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022. The related adjustments were recorded in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Predecessor as "Reorganization items, net" during the 2022 Predecessor period.
Accordingly, our Consolidated Financial Statements for periods after February 22, 2022 are not and will not be comparable to the
Predecessor Consolidated Financial Statements prior to that date. Our Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes are
presented with a black line division which delineates the lack of comparability between the Successor and Predecessor periods. Our
financial results for future periods following the application of Fresh Start accounting may be different from historical trends and the
differences may be material.
Results of Operations
The tables included below set out financial information for the periods from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022 ("2022
Predecessor period") and the period from February 23, 2022 through March 31, 2022 ("2022 Successor period") and the three months

Contract revenues are primarily driven by the average number of rigs under contract during a period, the average dayrates earned and
economic utilization achieved by those rigs under contract. We have set out movements in these key indicators of performance in the
sections below.
i.Average number of rigs on contract
We calculate the average number of rigs on contract by dividing the aggregate days our rigs were on contract during the reporting period
by the number of days in that reporting period. The average number of rigs on contract for the periods covered is set out in the below table
(the number of jack-up units presented below excludes the West Telesto, West Castor, and West Tucana which have been chartered to our
Gulfdrill joint venture. We have excluded these units from the below table as the charter revenues they earn are presented in our financial
statements as "other revenues" rather than the "contract revenues" being discussed in this section):

The average number of harsh environment rigs on contract increased from four during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to five in
the 2022 Predecessor period due to the West Phoenix returning to operations in August 2021. The average number of on-contract harsh
environment rigs decreased from five in the 2022 Predecessor period to three in the 2022 Successor period with the West Hercules and
West Bollsta both completing contracts in February 2022. The West Hercules is currently mobilizing for a new contract with Equinor in
Canada whereas the West Bollsta has been re-delivered to Northern Ocean.
The average number of floaters on contract increased from four during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to five in the 2022
Predecessor period due to the West Gemini returning to work for Total in Angola, following a period of operations being suspended. The
average number of on-contract floaters decreased from five in the 2022 Predecessor period to four in the 2022 Successor period due to a
period of idle time for the Sevan Louisiana, which completed operations with Walter Oil and Gas in February 2022 and will remain in the
US Gulf of Mexico for a new contract with ENI starting in April 2022.
The average number of jack-ups on contract increased from three during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to four in the 2022
Predecessor period due to the AOD II returning to operations in July 2021 following a period of being suspended. The average number of
on-contract jack-ups remained at four during the 2022 Successor period.
ii.Average contractual dayrates
We calculate the average contractual dayrate by dividing the aggregate contractual dayrates during a reporting period by the aggregate
number of rig operating days for the reporting period. We have set out the average contractual dayrates for the periods presented in the
below table:

Changes in the average contractual dayrates earned by the harsh-environment segment have been primarily driven by changes in the mix
of semi-submersible units and jack-ups. The average contractual dayrate increased between the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
the 2022 Predecessor period due to the West Phoenix, which is a semi-submersible rig, returning to operations. The average contractual
dayrate rate then decreased between the 2022 Predecessor and Successor periods due to the West Hercules and West Bollsta, which are
also both semi-submersible units, completing their contracts.
The average contractual dayrate earned by the floater segment was lower during the 2022 Predecessor period compared to the three
months-ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the West Tellus moving to a lower dayrate when it commenced operations with Shell in
the fourth quarter of 2021. The average dayrate increased in the 2022 Successor period due to idle time on the Sevan Louisiana, which is
a semi-submersible unit and typically earns a lower dayrate compared to the drillships.
The average contractual dayrate earned by the jack-up segment increased between the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the 2022
Predecessor period due to improved rates being earned by all units. The average contractual dayrate has been broadly stable between the
2022 Predecessor and Successor periods.

iii.Economic utilization for rigs on contract
We define economic utilization as dayrate revenue earned during the period, excluding bonuses, divided by the contractual operating
dayrate multiplied by the number of days on contract in the period. If a drilling unit earns its full operating dayrate throughout a reporting
period, its economic utilization would be 100%. However, there are many situations that give rise to a dayrate being earned that is less
than contractual operating rate, such as planned downtime for maintenance. In such situations, economic utilization reduces below 100%.
Economic utilization for each of the periods presented in this report is set out in the table below:

Economic utilization improved across all segments over the reported periods, reflecting improved operational performance and no major
downtime events during either the 2022 Predecessor or Successor periods.
b) Reimbursable revenues
We generally receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel and other services provided
at their request in accordance with a drilling contract. We classify such revenues as reimbursable revenues. Reimbursable revenues have
remained broadly constant over the reporting periods presented in this report.
c) Management contract revenue
Management contract revenues includes revenues related to contracts where we are providing management, operational and technical
support services to other parties. The below table provides an analysis of management contract revenues for periods presented in this

Managed contract revenues for the harsh-environment segment related to management fees earned by Seadrill for managing the Northern
Ocean rig West Mira, this arrangement ended during the second quarter of 2021.
Managed contract revenues for the floater segment represent fees earned by Seadrill for managing the Sonadrill drillships Libongos and
Quengela, and the Aquadrill drillships West Vela and West Capella, together with reimbursable revenues charged by Seadrill to our joint
venture partner on the Sonadrill arrangement, Sonangol, for preparing the Quengela for its first drilling contract with Total in Angola,
which commenced in March 2022. The arrangements for the West Vela and West Capella finished in March 2022, with both rigs being re-
delivered to Aquadrill.
Managed contract revenues for the jack-up segment represent fees earned by Seadrill from Seamex for managing five jack-up units under
contract with Pemex in the Gulf of Mexico.

i.Vessel and rig operating expenses
Vessel and rig operating expenses represent the costs we incur to operate a drilling unit that is either in operation or stacked. This includes
the remuneration of offshore crews, rig supplies, expenses for repair and maintenance and onshore support costs.

Vessel and rig operating expenses
(62)
(86)
(159)
Vessel and rig operating expenses are mainly driven by rig activity. On average, we incur higher vessel and rig operating expenses when a
rig is operating compared to when it is stacked. For stacked rigs we incur higher vessel and rig expenses for warm stacked rigs compared
to cold stacked rigs. We incur one-time costs for activities such as preservation and severance when we cold stack a rig. We also incur
significant costs when re-activating a rig from cold stack, a proportion of which is expensed as incurred. Where a rig is leased to another
operator, the majority of vessel and rig expenses are incurred by the operator. For detail on the movement in operating rigs in each period
presented, please refer to section a) - "i. Average number of rigs on contract".
Due to the emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and application of Fresh Start accounting, operating expenses are not comparable
between the Successor and Predecessor periods, most notably due to accounting changes impacting the recognition of charter expense on
leasing arrangements for the West Linus and West Hercules as well the impact of a Fresh Start accounting adjustment to write-off
10
previously deferred mobilization expenses that would otherwise have been recorded as an operating expense over the applicable contract
terms. As a result, we have only provided comments comparing performance between the two Predecessor periods reported.
On a per day basis, the harsh environment and floater segments both incurred higher costs during the 2022 Predecessor period relative to
the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was driven by the return to operations of the West Phoenix and West Gemini during August
and November 2021, respectively, partly offset by lower stacking costs following the sale of seven of our long-term cold stacked units
during the second half of 2021, together with lower COVID-19 related costs, and cost savings achieved through our ongoing cost
reduction programs. On a per day basis, the jack-up segment incurred similar operating expense over both periods.
For details on the rig disposal program, please refer to the recent development section at the start of the operating review.
ii.    Depreciation
We record depreciation expense to reduce the carrying value of drilling unit and equipment balances to their residual value over their
expected remaining useful economic lives. There were significant reorganization and Fresh Start accounting adjustments recorded against
the carrying value of Seadrill's fleet of drilling units on emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, and therefore depreciation expense is not
comparable between the Successor and Predecessor periods. Accordingly, we have only provided comments comparing performance
between the two Predecessor periods.
On a per day basis, depreciation expense was lower during the 2022 Predecessor period compared to the three months ended March 31,
2021. This primarily related to the West Hercules which was leased from SFL Corporation under a capital lease arrangement until August
2021, where the lease was amended to a short-term arrangement, resulting in derecognition of the rig asset such that no further
depreciation expense was incurred.
iii.    Amortization of intangibles
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and application of Fresh Start accounting, we recognized intangible assets and liabilities for
favorable and unfavorable drilling contracts at fair value. We amortize these assets and liabilities over the remaining contract period and
classify the amortization under operating expenses.
Amortization of intangibles recognized on emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings on February 2022 led to an expense of $3 million in
the 2022 Successor period. The majority of contract intangibles recognized on the previous emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings had
been fully amortized and therefore there was intangible asset amortization was $nil in both Predecessor periods.
iv. Management contract expenses
Management contract expenses include the costs incurred to service our managed rig arrangements. We have analyzed the main
components of management contract expenses in the table below:

On a per per day basis, managed rig operating expenses decreased between the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the 2022
Predecessor period. This was primarily due to the end of the managed contract arrangement with Northern Ocean for the West Mira which
ended during the second quarter of 2021, following the early termination of the rig's contract with Wintershall.
Managed rig operating expenses in the 2022 Successor period, reflect the costs incurred to service ongoing managed rig arrangements
with Sonadrill and Seamex, as well as costs incurred to manage the drillships West Vela and West Capella for Aquadrill until that
arrangement finished in March 2022.
v.    Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include the cost of our corporate and regional offices, certain legal and professional fees as
well as the remuneration and other compensation of our officers, directors and employees engaged in central management and
administration activities.

Cash interest
(11)
(25)
Our senior credit facilities incurred interest at LIBOR plus a margin. On February 7, 2021 (Predecessor), after filing for Chapter 11, we
recorded contractual interest payments against debt held as subject to compromise ("adequate protections payments") as a reduction to
debt in the Consolidated Balance sheet and not as an expense to Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon emergence from Chapter 11
proceedings on February 22, 2022, the senior credit facilities were extinguished in accordance with the reorganization plan. For further
information on our bankruptcy proceedings refer to Note 3 - "Chapter 11".
Our First lien senior secured facility has a maturity of December 15, 2026 and consists of a $175 million term loan facility and a $125
million revolving credit facility ("RCF"). The term loan facility bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the secured overnight
financing rate ("SOFR") (and any applicable credit adjustment spread). The RCF bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the
SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread), and commitment fee of 2.8% per annum is payable in respect to any undrawn
portion of the RCF commitment.
Our Second lien senior secured facility bears interest at a total margin of 12.5% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit
adjustment spread), and it has a maturity of June 15, 2027. The margin comprises two components: 5% cash interest and 7.5% pay-if-you-
can ("PIYC") interest, whereby Seadrill either pays the PIYC interest in cash or the equivalent amount is capitalized as principal
outstanding (dependent on certain conditions set out in the facility agreement).
12
Our Unsecured convertible bond has a maturity of August 2028 and bears interest, payable quarterly in cash, at three-month US LIBOR
plus 6% on the principal value of $50 million. The note is convertible into conversion shares in an amount equal to 5% of the fully-diluted
ordinary shares of the issuer. If not converted, a bullet repayment will become due on maturity date.
(b) Unwind of debt premium
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, we recorded our debt at fair value, which was at a premium to the principal value. The debt
premium is unwound over the remaining term of the debt facilities.
(c) Interest on SFL Leases
Interest on SFL leases reflects the cost incurred on capital lease agreements between Seadrill and SFL Corporation for the West Taurus,
West Linus and West Hercules. During the reorganization, the West Taurus lease was rejected and the West Linus and West Hercules were
modified to be operating leases, resulting in no further expense being recorded through this line for the Successor company. For further
information on our bankruptcy proceedings refer to Note 3 - "Chapter 11".

Interest income relates to interest earned on cash deposits and other related party loans.
ii) Share in results from associated companies
Share of results in associated companies represents our share of earnings or losses in our investments in Paratus Energy Services,
Sonadrill, and Gulfdrill, which are accounted under the equity method.
iii) Gain on derivative financial instruments
On May 11, 2018, the Predecessor company purchased an interest rate cap for $68 million. The interest rate cap provides coverage against
increases in LIBOR above 2.87% on a notional amount of $4.5 billion. We account for the cap as a derivative financial instrument, with
changes in fair value being taken to income each period. We recorded a $5 million gain in the 2022 Successor period following an
increase in the interest rate cap's fair value, resulting from an increase in the LIBOR curve.
iv)  Foreign exchange (loss)/gain
Foreign exchange gains and losses relate to exchange differences on the settlement or revaluation of monetary balances denominated in
currencies other than the US Dollar.
v) Reorganization items
Incremental costs incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy filing and any gains or losses on adjustment to the expected allowed claim
value under the plan of reorganization are classified as "Reorganization items, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The
following table summarizes the reorganization items recognized in the period from February 23, 2022 through March 31, 2022

a.Gain on liabilities subject to compromise
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, we settled liabilities subject to compromise in accordance with the Plan. This includes
extinguishment of our secured external debt and amounts due under our sale and leaseback agreements with SFL Corporation. Refer to
Note 4 - "Fresh Start accounting" for further information.
b. Fresh Start valuation adjustments
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and under the application of Fresh Start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to
our assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The effects of the application of Fresh Start accounting applied as of
February 22, 2022. The new basis of our assets and liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022
(Successor) and the related adjustments were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Predecessor. Refer to Note 4 -
"Fresh Start accounting" for further information.
c. Loss on deconsolidation of Paratus Energy Services Ltd
The loss on deconsolidation reflects the impact of the sale of 65% of Seadrill's interest in Paratus Energy Services (formally NSNCo), as
we deconsolidated the carrying value of the net assets of Paratus and recorded the 35% retained interest at fair value. The difference
between the net assets deconsolidated and retained 35% interest represents a loss on deconsolidation.

vi) Other financial items
The $21 million of other financial income recognized in the 2022 Predecessor period related to certain miscellaneous liabilities that were
extinguished through the bankruptcy process but were not directly related to the comprehensive restructuring. The $13 million of other
financial expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily related to legal and advisory expenses incurred on
the comprehensive restructuring before the Chapter 11 filing. There were no significant other financial items in the 2022 Successor
period.
6) Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities related to our ownership and
operation of drilling units and may vary significantly depending on jurisdictions and contractual arrangements. In most cases the
calculation of taxes is based on net income or deemed income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
1) Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings
On February 22, 2022 , Seadrill completed its comprehensive restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings. Please refer to
Note 3 - "Chapter 11" of the accompanying financial statements for further details.
In the interim report, covering the six-month period to June 30, 2021 (predecessor), we reported a substantial doubt as to our ability to
continue as a going concern as a result of the fact that we were in Chapter 11 proceedings and there was a degree of inherent risk
associated with being in bankruptcy and whether the Plan of Reorganization would be confirmed. Having now emerged from Chapter 11
proceedings and with access to exit financing, we believe that cash on hand, contract and other revenues will generate sufficient cash flow
to fund our anticipated debt service and working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Therefore, there is no longer a
substantial doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months following the date of issue of the
financial statements.
Financial information in this report has been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which presumes that we will be able to
realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
2) Liquidity
Our level of liquidity fluctuates depending on a number of factors. These include, among others, our contract backlog, economic
utilization achieved, average contract day rates, timing of accounts receivable collection, capital expenditures for rig upgrades and
reactivation projects, timing of payments for operating costs, and other obligations.
Our liquidity comprises cash and cash equivalents. The below table shows cash and restricted cash balances for each period presented.

discontinued operations. The adjustments are made up of adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities,
other cash movements in operating activities, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of the effect of acquisitions and
disposals.
(2)        Includes depreciation, amortization, share of results of joint ventures and associates, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, 
deferred tax expense and other non-cash items shown under the sub-heading "adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash
provided by operating activities" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented in the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this report.
The $52 million cash inflow from operating activities in the 2022 Successor period and $56 million cash outflow from operating activities
in the 2022 Predecessor period were primarily driven by changes in working capital, primary trade and related party receivables, and
payment of success fees on emergence from Chapter 11 in the 2022 Predecessor period. The $39 million outflow for the three months
ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by cash receipts from customers being insufficient to cover operating costs and other similar
outflows, offset by an inflow from working capital.
b) Cash flows from investing activities
The $14 million cash outflow from investing activities during the 2022 Successor period related to capital expenditures. The $110 million
cash outflow from investing activities during the 2022 Predecessor period comprised capital expenditures and cash that was
deconsolidated as a result of the disposal of NSNCo. The $12 million cash outflow from investing activities during the three months to
March 31, 2021 related to capital expenditures and a loan advanced to the Seamex joint venture.
16
c) Cash flows from financing activities
The net cash inflow from financing activities in the 2022 Predecessor period related to the proceeds from the issuance of the $175 million
new term loan and $50 million convertible bond on emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, offset by $160 million of debt repayments.

(a) Under the $300 million facility, Seadrill has access to the $125 million revolving credit facility in addition to the $175 million term
loan facility, which was not drawn down at the Effective Date (nor has it been drawn to date).
(b) The conversion option, together with the issue discount, was recorded in the Predecessor equity which was subsequently cancelled on
emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings .
Prior to consummation of the Reorganization, Seadrill had $5,662 million of senior secured credit facilities. Under the Plan on the
Effective Date, these facilities were in part reinstated in the form of the $683 million senior secured credit facility (as further described
below), in part equitized through issuance of new shares, and in part settled in cash (specifically in respect to the AOD credit facility).
Secured credit facilities and unsecured convertible note
$300 Million Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2022 as part of the Reorganization, Seadrill entered into a $300 million super senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of
lenders secured on a first lien basis. The facility has a maturity of December 15, 2026 and consists of a $175 million term loan facility and
a $125 million revolving credit facility RCF. The term loan facility bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the SOFR (and any
applicable credit adjustment spread). The RCF bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit
adjustment spread), and a commitment fee of 2.8% per annum is payable in respect to any undrawn portion of the RCF commitment.
$683 Million Secured Second Lien Facility
In February 2022 as part of the Reorganization, Seadrill entered into a senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders to partially
reinstate the existing facilities in an aggregate amount of $683 million secured on a second lien basis. The facility bears interest at a total
margin of 12.5% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread), and it has a maturity of June, 15 2027. The
above-mentioned margin comprises two components: 5% cash interest; and 7.5% PIYC interest, whereby Seadrill either pays the PIYC
interest in cash or the equivalent amount is capitalized as principal outstanding (dependent on certain conditions set out in the facility
agreement).
$50 Million Convertible Note
In February 2022 as part of the Reorganization, the Company issued $50 million of aggregate principal amount of an unsecured senior
convertible note to Hemen Holdings Ltd., with a final maturity in August 2028 (the "Convertible Note"). The notes bear interest of 6%
per annum plus 3-month US LIBOR, which is payable quarterly in cash. The Convertible Note is convertible into the Conversion Shares
in an amount equal to 5% of the fully-diluted ordinary shares.
Covenants contained in the Company's debt facilities
Seadrill is subject to certain financial covenants and certain non-financial covenants under our financing agreements. These non-financial
covenants include, but are not limited to, liens on our drilling units and other assets (such as earnings, company shares and intercompany
receivables), certain restrictions on additional indebtedness and investments or acquisitions, and certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends. Our debt facilities include cross-default provisions, whereby, in certain circumstances, a default under one given facility might
result in defaults under other facilities.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to several market risks, including credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Our policy is to reduce our
exposure to these risks, where possible, within boundaries deemed appropriate by our management team. This may include the use of
derivative instruments.
17
Credit risk
We have financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, related party receivables, other receivables and certain amounts receivable
on derivative instruments. These assets expose us to credit risk arising from possible default by the counterparty. Most of the
counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions or large oil and gas companies. We do not expect any significant loss to result from
non-performance by such counterparties. However, we have established an allowance on our trade receivables due from related parties
reflecting their current financial position, lower credit rating and overdue balances.
We do not demand collateral in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2022, the credit exposure of derivative financial
instruments is limited to our interest rate cap.
Credit risk is also considered as part of our expected credit loss provision. For details on how we estimate expected credit losses refer to
Note 5 – "Current Expected Credit Losses".
Concentration of risk 
There is also a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that most of the amounts are carried with
Citibank, Danske Bank A/S, DNB, HSBC, and BTG Pactual. We consider these risks to be remote, but, from time to time, we may utilize
instruments such as money market deposits to manage concentration of risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents. We also have a
concentration of risk with respect to customers, including affiliated companies. For details on the customers with greater than 10% of
contract revenues, refer to Note 6 - "Segment information". For details on amounts due from affiliated companies, refer to Note 24 -
"Related party transactions".
Foreign exchange risk
It is customary in the oil and gas industry that a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, which is the
functional currency of most of our subsidiaries and equity method investees. However, a portion of the revenues and expenses of certain
of our subsidiaries and equity method investees are denominated in other currencies. We are therefore exposed to foreign exchange gains
and losses that may arise on the revaluation or settlement of monetary balances denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign exchange
exposures primarily relate to cash and working capital balances denominated in foreign currencies. We do not expect these exposures to
cause a significant amount of fluctuation in net income and do not currently hedge them. The effect of fluctuations in currency exchange
rates arising from our international operations has not had a material impact on our overall operating results.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates mainly to our floating rate debt and balances of surplus funds placed with financial institutions.
We manage this risk through the use of derivative arrangements.  On May 11, 2018, we purchased an interest rate cap for $68 million to
mitigate exposure to future increases of LIBOR. The $4.5 billion of debt principal covered by the cap is significantly in excess of
Seadrill's debt outstanding following the restructuring and the interest rate cap is not designated as a hedge and therefore we do not apply
hedge accounting. The capped rate against the 3-month US LIBOR is 2.87% and covers the period from June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2023. 
The 3-month LIBOR rate as at March 31, 2022  was 0.961%.
The new term loan and second lien debt facilities entered on emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings will be referenced to the SOFR,
while the Convertible Note will be referenced to the 3-month US LIBOR.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and
assumptions on historical experience and on various other information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Critical
accounting estimates are important to the portrayal of both our financial position and results of operations and require us to make
subjective or complex assumptions or estimates about matters that are uncertain. The basis of preparation and significant accounting
policies are disclosed in our annual report on Form 20-F.
Critical accounting estimates that are significant for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:
Carrying Value of Rig Assets
Generally, the carrying amount of our drilling units including rigs, vessels and related equipment are recorded at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation. However, drilling units acquired through a business combination or remeasured through the application of
Fresh Start accounting are measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition or the date of emergence, respectively. Our drilling units are
subject to various estimates, assumptions, and judgments related to capitalized costs, useful lives and residual values, and impairments. 
Our estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflect both historical experience and expectations regarding future operations, utilization and
performance. At March 31, 2022 (Successor), the carrying amount of our drilling units was $1.9 billion, representing 90% of our non-
current assets.
18
Useful lives and residual value
The cost of our drilling units less estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful
lives. The estimated useful life of our semi-submersible drilling rigs, drillships and jack-up rigs, when new, is 30 years.
The useful lives of rigs and related equipment are difficult to estimate due to a variety of factors, including technological advances that
impact the methods or cost of oil and gas exploration and development, changes in market or economic conditions and changes in laws or
regulations affecting the drilling industry. We re-evaluate the remaining useful lives of our drilling units as and when events occur which
may directly impact our assessment of their remaining useful lives. This includes changes in the operating condition or functional
capability of our rigs as well as market and economic factors. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in establishing
estimated useful lives and residual values could result in significantly different carrying values for our drilling units which could
materially affect our results of operations.
Impairment considerations (Drilling Units)
The carrying values of our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when certain triggering events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly
subjective. They involve expectations about future cash flows generated by our assets and reflect management’s assumptions and
judgments regarding future industry conditions and their effect on future utilization levels, dayrates and costs. The use of different
estimates and assumptions could result in significantly different carrying values of our assets and could materially affect our results of
operations. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the aggregate carrying amount is not recoverable.
With regard to our older drilling units, which have relatively short remaining estimated useful lives, the results of impairment tests are
particularly sensitive to management’s assumptions. These assumptions include the likelihood of the unit obtaining a contract upon the
expiration of any current contract, and our intention for the drilling unit should no contract be obtained, including warm/cold stacking or
scrapping. The use of different assumptions in the future could potentially result in an impairment of older drilling units, which could
materially affect our results of operations.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (Successor), no indicators of impairment were identified against our drilling units. Refer to Note 4 -
"Fresh Start accounting" for details on fair value adjustments made to our drilling units as of the Effective date.
Fresh Start accounting
As set forth in the Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company was approved to have an enterprise valuation of
between $1,795 million and $2,396 million. Using valuation models, we valued the Successor’s enterprise value to be  $2.1 billion as of
the Effective Date, which is equal to the mid-point of the court approved valuation range. Enterprise value represents the estimated fair
value of an entity’s shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt and other interest-bearing liabilities less unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents.
The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving future financial results set forth in our valuations, as
well as the realization of certain other assumptions. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair
value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution
of contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections may not be realized and
actual results could vary materially.
Critical accounting estimates in relation to fresh-start valuation of our drilling units and investments include: Off-contract revenue
estimates, off-contract operating expense assumptions, contract probabilities, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) rate used to
discount free cash flow projections and drilling unit market valuations.
Current expected credit losses
As set out in the 20-F filed for the year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted accounting standard update 2016-13 effective January 1,
2020. Under this guidance, we are required to record allowances for the expected future credit losses to be incurred on trade and loan
receivable balances. We have used a probability-of-default model to estimate these expected credit losses. Under this methodology we use
data such as customer credit ratings, maturity of loan, security of loan, and incorporate historical data published by credit rating agencies,
to estimate the chance of default and loss given default. We then multiply the balance outstanding by the estimated chance of default and
loss given default to calculate the allowance required for the expected credit loss.
To estimate probability-of-default we have cross referenced the customer credit ratings and expected loan maturities for our receivable
balances against historical default rates published by credit rating agencies. The counterparties to our related party receivable balances do
not typically have published credit ratings, in which case we have estimated a shadow credit rating. To estimate loan maturities, we have
considered both the contractual maturity date of the loan or receivable balance as well as an internal assessment of the counterparties'
ability to settle the amount owed by that date. We estimated loss-given-default based on historical recovery rates published by credit
rating agencies for claims with similar security and priority as the receivable being assessed.
19
Uncertain tax positions
Seadrill is a Bermuda company that has a number of subsidiaries and affiliates in various jurisdictions. We are not currently required to
pay income taxes in Bermuda on ordinary income or capital gains because we qualify as an exempt company. We have received written
assurance from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that we will be exempt from taxation until March 2035. Certain of our subsidiaries
operate in other jurisdictions where income taxes are imposed. Consequently, income taxes have been recorded in these jurisdictions as
appropriate. Our income tax expense is based on our income, statutory tax rates and various  deductions & credits available to us in the
various jurisdictions in which we operate. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which
our operations are conducted and income is earned. The income tax rates and methods of computing taxable income vary substantially
between jurisdictions. Our income tax expense is expected to fluctuate from year to year because our operations are conducted in different
tax jurisdictions and the amount of pre-tax income fluctuations.
The determination and evaluation of our annual group income tax provision involves the interpretation of tax laws in the various
jurisdictions in which we operate and requires significant judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions regarding significant future
events, such as amounts, timing and the character of income, deductions and tax credits. There are certain transactions for which the
ultimate tax determination is unclear due to uncertainty in the ordinary course of business. We recognize tax liabilities based on our
assessment of whether our tax positions are more likely than not sustainable, based solely on the technical merits and considerations of
the relevant taxing authorities widely understood administrative practices and precedence. Changes in tax laws, regulations, agreements,
treaties, foreign currency exchange restrictions or our levels of operations or profitability in each jurisdiction may impact our tax liability
in any given year.
While our annual income tax provision is based on the information available to us at the time, a number of years may elapse before the
ultimate tax liabilities in certain tax jurisdictions are determined. Current income tax expense reflects an estimate of our income tax
liability for the current year, withholding taxes, changes in prior year tax estimates as tax returns are filed or from tax audit adjustments.
Our deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities as reflected on the balance
sheet. To determine the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as valuation allowances, we must make estimates and certain
assumptions regarding future taxable income, including where our drilling units are expected to be deployed. A change in such estimates
and assumptions, along with any changes in tax laws, could require us to adjust the amount of deferred taxes. In addition, our uncertain
tax positions are estimated and presented within other current liabilities, other liabilities, and as reductions to our deferred tax assets
within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 11  – "Taxation" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for
further information.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
While in Chapter 11 proceedings, we distinguished liabilities from those that are liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC"), being
unsecured or undersecured prepetition liabilities, from those that were not, being fully secured prepetition liabilities and all post-petition
liabilities. If there is uncertainty about whether a claim was undersecured, or would be impaired under the Plan of Reorganization, the
entire amount of the claim was included within LSTC. Liabilities that were affected by the plan were reported at the amounts expected to
be allowed, even if they were ultimately settled for lesser amounts, which inherently required a degree of estimation.

Seadrill Limited
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1General information
Seadrill Limited is incorporated in Bermuda. We provide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry. As at March 31, 2022 we
owned 23 drilling rigs, leased 2, and managed 7 rigs on behalf of SeaMex and Sonadrill. 2 of the 23 owned rigs were sold shortly after the
period end. Our fleet consists of drillships, jack-up rigs and semi-submersible rigs for operations in shallow and deepwater areas, as well
as benign and harsh environments.
As used herein, the term "Predecessor" refers to the financial position and results of operations of Seadrill Limited prior to, and
including, February 22, 2022. This is also applicable to terms "we", "our", "Group" or "Company" in the context of events on and prior to
February 22, 2022. As used herein, the term "Successor" refers to the financial position and results of operations of Seadrill Limited
(previously Seadrill 2021 Limited) after February 22, 2022 ("the Effective Date"). This is also applicable to terms "new Successor",
"we", "our", "Group" or "Company" in the context of events after February 23, 2022 (Successor).
The use herein of such terms as "Group", "organization", "we", "us", "our" and "its", or references to specific entities, is not intended to be
a precise description of corporate relationships.
Emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings
On February 22, 2022 (Predecessor), Seadrill Limited and certain of its subsidiaries which filed voluntary petitions for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court ("Debtors"), completed its comprehensive restructuring
and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings. Please refer to Note 3 - "Chapter 11" of the accompanying financial statements for further
details.
In our report at June 30, 2021 (Predecessor), we had raised a substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result
of the fact that we were in Chapter 11 proceedings and there was a degree of inherent risk associated with being in bankruptcy and
whether the Plan of Reorganization would be confirmed. Having now emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings and with access to exit
financing, we believe that cash on hand, contract and other revenues will generate sufficient cash flows to fund our anticipated debt
service and working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Therefore, there is no longer a substantial doubt over our ability to
continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months following the date of issue of the financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America ("US GAAP"). The amounts are presented in United States dollar ("US dollar", "$" or "US$") rounded to the nearest million,
unless otherwise stated. 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of Seadrill Limited, its consolidated subsidiaries in
which we are the primary beneficiary.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all material adjustments that are
considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America.  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures
required in complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual financial
statements filed with the SEC on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Predecessor) (SEC File No. 001-39327).
The financial information in this report has been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which presumes that we
will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
Basis of consolidation
We consolidate investments in companies in which we control directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting rights.
Fresh Start accounting
Upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, in accordance with ASC 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), Seadrill Limited
qualified for fresh-start accounting and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. We allocated the reorganization value
resulting from fresh-start accounting in accordance with the purchase price allocation performed as of the Effective Date. Refer to Note 4
- "Fresh Start accounting" for further details.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the
preparation of our annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
F-8
Note 2Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting standards
We adopted the following accounting standard update ("ASUs") since the reporting date of our Form 20-F report (covering the period to
December 31, 2021 (Predecessor)), which had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2020-06 - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging
Simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments. Under current guidance, applying the
separation models in ASC 470-20 to convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature or a cash conversion feature involves the
recognition of a debt discount, which is amortized to interest expense. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest
expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was within the scope of those models
before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Seadrill does not have any instruments with beneficial conversion or cash conversion features.
ASU 2021-05 - Lessors - Certain Leases With Variable Lease Payments
Requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate (hereafter referred to as “variable
payments”) as an operating lease on the commencement date of the lease if specified criteria are met. Seadrill does not have any sales-
type or direct financing leases.
ASU 2021-08 - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
Requires contract assets and liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured on the
acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606. The Company elected to early adopt and apply this standard as of January 1, 2022 as it is
relevant to the emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and application of fresh-start accounting.  The Company’s deferred revenues
balances were evaluated on the basis of ASC 606 at the measurement date (in accordance with ASU 2021-08). No adjustment was made
on transition.
Recently issued accounting standards
There are currently no recently issued ASUs that are expected to affect our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in
future periods.
Note 3 - Chapter 11
Seadrill Chapter 11 Process
i. Chapter 11 filing
The Debtors filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Chapter 11 proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court on February 7, 2021
and February 10, 2021 (the “Petition Date”). These filings triggered a stay on enforcement of remedies with respect to our debt
obligations.
These filings excluded the NSNCo group, as Seadrill and the NSNCo noteholders negotiated a refinancing outside of this bankruptcy.
ii. Plan of Reorganization
On July 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Plan Support and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Plan Support Agreement”) with certain
holders of claims under the Company’s 12 prepetition credit facilities (the “Prepetition Credit Agreements”), and Hemen. On July 24,
2021, the Company filed the first versions of the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement. On August 31, 2021,
the Company filed the First Amended Plan of Reorganization and the First Amended Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”)
and on September 2, 2021, the Court approved the First Amended Disclosure Statement (as Modified) and the solicitation of the Plan of
Reorganization. On October 11, 2021, the Company’s creditor classes voted to accept the plan of reorganization. On October 26, 2021,
Seadrill’s Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
iii. Amendment to terms of existing facilities
The Plan, among other things, provided that holders of allowed Credit Agreement claims (a) received a $683 million (adjusted for the
AOD cash out option) of take-back debt (the “New Second Lien Facility”) and (b) be entitled to participate in a $300 million new-money
raise under the New First Lien Facility, and (c) received 83.00% of pre-diluted equity in successor Seadrill on account of their allowed
Credit Agreement claims, and 16.75% of equity in successor Seadrill for such holders participation in a rights offering (the “Rights
Offering”).
Seadrill Limited
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-9
iv. Rights Offering and backstop of new $300million facility
Holders of the subscription rights, which included the backstop parties (the “Backstop Parties” and together, the “Rights Offering
Participants”), received the right to lend up to $300 million under the New First Lien Facility. The Rights Offering Participants also
received, in consideration for their participation in the Rights Offering, 12.50% of the issued and outstanding pre-diluted New Seadrill
Common Shares as of the Effective Date. The New First Lien Facility was structured as (i) a $175 million term loan (the “Term Loan
Facility”) and (ii) a $125 million revolving credit facility.
As consideration for the backstop commitment of each Backstop Party, the Backstop Parties were (a) issued 4.25% of the issued and
outstanding pre-diluted New Seadrill Common Shares as of the Effective Date (the “Equity Commitment Premium”); and (b) paid in
cash a premium (the “Commitment Premium”) equal to 7.50% of the $300 million in total commitments under the New First Lien
Facility. The Commitment Premium was revised to $20 million and paid within one business day following the backstop approval order
on October 27, 2021.
v. Hemen $50million convertible bond
$50 million convertible bonds (the “Convertible Bonds”) were issued to Hemen at par upon emergence. The bonds are convertible into
the conversion shares (the “Conversion Shares”) in an amount equal to 5.00% of the fully-diluted New Seadrill Common Shares. The
principal amount of the Bonds is convertible (in full not part) into the Conversion Shares at the option of the lender at any time during the
conversion period, being the period from the earlier of (i) the date on which the Issuer’s ordinary shares are listed and begin trading on the
NYSE and (ii) the date on which the Issuer’s ordinary shares are listed and begin trading on the OSE (the “Conversion Period”), at the
option of the lender at any time during the Conversion Period.
Management considered the accounting treatment for the Conversion using the embedded derivative model, substantial premium model,
and the no proceeds allocated model. The Company determined that on the Effective Date that the substantial premium model was
applicable, and the recognition of the Convertible Bonds should follow the treatment prescribed under this model. Pursuant to the
substantial premium model, the principal was recorded as a liability at par and the excess premium was recorded to additional paid-in-
capital. Upon conversion, the Company will reclassify the liability component to equity with no gain or loss recognized.
vi. Emergence and New Seadrill equity allocation table
Seadrill met the requirements of the Plan and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings on the Effective Date.
Under the Plan and prior to any equity dilution on conversion of the convertible bond, the Company issued 83.00% of the Company’s
equity to Credit Agreement claimants, 12.50% to the Rights Offering Participants, 4.25% to the Backstop Parties through the Equity
Commitment Premium, and the remaining 0.25% to Class 9 Predecessor shareholders. The breakout shown below shows the equity
allocation before and after the conversion of the convertible bond.

NSNCo Restructuring
As part of Seadrill’s wider process, NSNCo, the holding company for investments in SeaMex, Seabras Sapura, and Archer, concluded a
separate restructuring process on January 20, 2022. The restructuring was achieved using a pre-packaged Chapter 11 process and had the
following major impacts:
1. Holders of the senior secured notes issued by NSNCo released Seadrill from all guarantees and securities previously provided by
Seadrill in respect of the notes;
2. Seadrill sold 65% of its equity interest in NSNCo to the holders of NSNCo senior secured notes. Seadrill's equity interest thereby
decreased to 35% which was recognized as an equity method investment; and
3. Reinstatement of the notes in full on amended terms.
Related to the NSNCo restructuring, the noteholders also financed a restructuring of the bank debt of the SeaMex joint venture. This
enabled NSNCo to subsequently acquire a 100% equity interest in the SeaMex joint venture by way of a credit bid, which was executed
on November 2, 2021.
Upon effectiveness of NSNCo's bankruptcy on January 20, 2022, Seadrill sold 65% of its equity interest in NSNCo, recognizing its 35%
retained interest as an equity method investment. The ceding of control occurred 9 days prior on January 11, 2022, the petition date when
Seadrill Limited
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-10
the Bankruptcy Court first assumed the power to approve all significant actions in the entity. Separately, the determination of held-for-
sale and discontinued operations was made at year-end and documented in the 2021 Form 20-F. Subsequent to its emergence from its pre-
packaged bankruptcy, NSNCo was renamed Paratus Energy Services Ltd ("Paratus" or "PES").
Renegotiation of leases with SFL
Under the sale and leaseback arrangements with certain subsidiaries of SFL Corporation Ltd (“SFL”), the semi-submersible rigs West
Taurus and West Hercules and the jack-up rig West Linus were leased to certain wholly owned Seadrill entities under long term charter
agreements. The Chapter 11 proceedings afforded Seadrill the option to reject or amend the leases.
On March 9, 2021, the West Taurus lease rejection motion was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and the rig was redelivered to SFL on
May 6, 2021, in accordance with the West Taurus settlement agreement. The lease termination led to a remeasurement of the outstanding
amounts due to SFL held within liabilities subject to compromise to the claim value which was settled at emergence.
On August 27, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Texas entered an approval order for an amendment to the original
SFL Hercules charter. The amended charter was accounted for as an operating lease, resulting in the recognition of a ROU asset and an
associated lease liability. The removal of the call options and purchase obligations meant that sale recognition was no longer precluded.
On February 19, 2022, Seadrill signed a transition agreement with SFL pursuant to which the West Linus rig will be redelivered to SFL
upon assignment of the ConocoPhillips drilling contract to SFL. The interim transition bareboat agreement with SFL will see Seadrill
continuing to operate the West Linus until the rig is handed back to SFL for a period of time estimated to last approximately 6 to 9 months
from Seadrill’s emergence. The amended charter no longer contained a purchase obligation and resulted in the derecognition of the rig
asset of $175 million and liability of $161 million at emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings on February 22, 2022. Additionally, $7
million of cash held as collateral was returned to SFL. The interim transition bareboat agreement was accounted for as a short-term
operating lease.
Other matters
i. Liabilities subject to compromise
Liabilities subject to compromise distinguish prepetition liabilities which may be affected by the Chapter 11 proceedings from those that
will not. The liabilities held as subject to compromise prior to the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings are disclosed on a
separate line on the consolidated balance sheet.
Liabilities subject to compromise prior to emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, as presented on the consolidated balance sheet as at
February 22, 2022 immediately prior to emergence, included the following:

ii. Interest expense
The Debtors discontinued recording interest on the under-secured debt facilities from the Petition Date, in line with the guidance of ASC
852-10. Contractual interest on liabilities subject to compromise not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations was $48
million for the period from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022 (Predecessor) and $298 million for the period from February 10,
2021 to December 31, 2021.
iii. Reorganization items, net
Incremental costs incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy filing and any gains or losses on adjustment to the expected allowed claim
value under the plan of reorganization are classified as "Reorganization items, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The
following table summarizes the reorganization items recognized in the period from February 23, 2022 through March 31, 2022

On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, we settled liabilities subject to compromise in accordance with the Plan. This includes
extinguishment of our secured external debt and amounts due under our sale and leaseback agreements with SFL Corporation. Refer to
Note 4 - "Fresh Start accounting" for further information.
b. Fresh Start valuation adjustments
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and under the application of Fresh Start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to
our assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The effects of the application of Fresh Start accounting applied as of
February 22, 2022. The new basis of our assets and liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022
(Successor) and the related adjustments were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Predecessor. Refer to Note 4 -
"Fresh Start accounting" for further information.
c. Loss on deconsolidation of Paratus Energy Services Ltd
The loss on deconsolidation reflects the impact of the sale of 65% of Seadrill's interest in Paratus Energy Services (formally NSNCo), as
we deconsolidated the carrying value of the net assets of Paratus and recorded the 35% retained interest at fair value. The difference
between the net assets deconsolidated and retained 35% interest represents a loss on deconsolidation.

Note 4 - Fresh Start accounting
Fresh Start accounting
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, Seadrill qualified for and adopted Fresh Start accounting in accordance with the provisions set forth in
ASC 852, which resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or loss as of
the Effective Date. The criteria requiring Fresh Start accounting are: (i) the reorganization value of the Seadrill’s assets immediately prior
to confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of the then-existing
voting shares of the Predecessor (or legacy entity prior to the Effective Date) received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the
Successor outstanding upon emergence from bankruptcy.
Fresh Start accounting requires a reporting entity to present its assets, liabilities, and equity at their reorganization value amounts as of the
date of emergence from bankruptcy on February 22, 2022. However, the Company will continue to present financial information for any
periods before the adoption of Fresh Start accounting for the Predecessor. The Predecessor and Successor Companies lack comparability,
as is required in ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 205”). ASC 205 states that financial statements are
required to be presented comparably from year to year, with any exceptions to comparability clearly disclosed. Therefore, “black-line”
financial statements are presented to distinguish between the Predecessor and Successor Companies.
Seadrill Limited
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reorganization Value
Under Fresh Start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to Seadrill's individual assets based on their estimated fair values in
conformity with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (''ASC 805''), and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Deferred income
taxes were calculated in conformity with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (''ASC 740''). Reorganization value is viewed as the value of the
reconstituted entity before considering liabilities and it approximates the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets of the entity
immediately after the restructuring.
Enterprise value represents the estimated fair value of an entity’s shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt and other interest-bearing
liabilities less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. As set forth in the Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the
valuation analysis resulted in an enterprise value between $1,795 million and $2,396 million, with a mid-point of $2,095 million. For U.S.
GAAP purposes, we valued the Successor’s individual assets, liabilities, and equity instruments using valuation models and determined
the value of the enterprise was $2,095 million as of the Effective Date, which fell in line within the forecasted enterprise value ranges
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Specific valuation approaches and key assumptions used to arrive at reorganization value, and the
value of discrete assets and liabilities resulting from the application of Fresh Start accounting, are described in greater detail within the
valuation process below.

The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are derived from expected future financial results set forth in our valuations, as well
as the realization of certain other assumptions. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value
adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of
contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections may not be realized and
actual results could vary materially.
Valuation Process
To apply Fresh Start accounting, we conducted an analysis of the Consolidated Balance Sheet to determine if any of our net assets would
require a fair value adjustment as of the Effective Date. The results of our analysis indicated that our drilling units, equipment, drilling
and management services contracts, leases, investments in associated companies, certain working capital balances and long-term debt
would require a fair value adjustment on the Effective Date. Any deferred tax on the fair value adjustments have been made in accordance
with ASC 740. The rest of our net assets were determined to have carrying values that approximated fair value on the Effective Date.
Further details regarding the valuation process are described below.
i. Drilling units
Seadrill's principal assets comprise its fleet of drilling units. For the working fleet, we determined the fair value of drilling units based
primarily on an income approach utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. For long-term cold stacked units, we have applied a market
approach methodology. Assumptions used in our assessment of the discounted free cash flows included, but were not limited to, the
contracted and market dayrates, operating costs, overheads, economic utilization, effective tax rates, capital expenditures, working capital
requirements, and estimated useful economic lives.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-13
The cash flows were discounted at a market participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which was derived from a blend of 
market participant after-tax cost of debt and market participant cost of equity and computed using public share price information for
similar offshore drilling market participants, certain U.S. Treasury rates, and certain risk premiums specific to the assets of the Company.
For rigs expected to be long-term stacked, the market approach was used to estimate the fair value of the assets which involved gathering
and analyzing recent market data of comparable assets.
ii. Capital Spares & Equipment
The valuation of our capital spares and equipment, including spare parts and capitalized IT software, was determined utilizing the cost
approach, in which the estimated replacement cost of the assets was adjusted for physical depreciation and economic obsolescence.
iii. Drilling and management services contracts
We recognized both favorable and unfavorable contracts based on the income approach utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis,
comparing the signed contractual dayrate against the global contract assumptions applied in our drilling unit fair value assessment. The
cash flows were discounted at an adjusted market participant WACC.
The management services contracts were fair valued based on an excess earnings methodology, adjusted for the incremental cost of
services, working capital, tax, and contributory asset charges, with future cash flows discounted at an adjusted market participant WACC.
For the management incentive fee payable to Seadrill as part of the management service agreement with Paratus Energy Services Limited
(formerly NSNCo, “Paratus Energy Services”), an option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the fee.
iv. Leases
The fair value of the West Linus and West Hercules leases were estimated by comparing against assumed global market contract
assumptions over the same time period.
v. Investments in associated companies
The fair value of the equity investments in associated companies was based primarily on the income approach, using projected discounted
cash flows of the underlying assets, a risk-adjusted discount rate, and an estimated tax rate.
vi. Long-term debt
The fair values of the New Term Loan Facility and New Second Lien Facility were determined using relevant market data as of the
Effective Date and the terms of each of the respective instruments. Given the interest rates for both facilities were outside of the range of
assumed market rates, we selected discount rates based on the data and used a yield to worst case analysis to estimate the fair values of the
respective instruments.
The fair value of the Convertible Bonds was split in two components: (i) straight debt and (ii) conversion option. The straight debt
component was derived through a discounted cash flow analysis. The conversion option component was based on an option pricing
model, which forecasts equity volatility and compares the potential conversion redemption against equity movements in industry peers.

Note 5Current Expected Credit Losses
The CECL model applies to our external trade receivables and related party receivables. Our external customers are international oil
companies, national oil companies and large independent oil companies.  There was no change in allowances for external or related party
trade receivables. The expected credit loss allowance on related party balances as at March 31, 2022 (Successor) was $1 million
(December 31, 2021 (Predecessor): $1 million).
Note 6Segment information
Operating segments
We use the management approach to identify our operating segments. We identified the Board of Directors as the Group’s Chief
Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") which regularly reviews internal reports when making decisions about allocation of resources to
segments and in assessing their performance.
We have the following three reportable segments:
1.Harsh environment: Includes contract revenues, management contract revenue, reimbursable revenue and associated expenses
for harsh environment semi-submersible and jack-up rigs.
2.Floaters: Includes contract revenues, management contract revenue, reimbursable revenue and associated expenses for benign
environment semi-submersible rigs and drillships.
3.Jack-ups: Includes contract revenues, management contract revenue, reimbursable revenue and associated expenses for benign
environment jack-up rigs.
Segment results are evaluated on the basis of operating income and the information presented below is based on information used for
internal management reporting. The remaining incidental revenues and expenses not included in the reportable segments are included in
the "other" reportable segment.

contractual cash interest payments against debt held as subject to compromise ("adequate protections payments") as a reduction to debt
in the Consolidated Balance sheet and not as an expense to Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon emergence from Chapter 11
proceedings on February 22, 2022, the senior credit facilities were extinguished in accordance with the reorganization plan. For further
information on our bankruptcy proceedings refer to Note 3 - ''Chapter 11''.
Our First lien senior secured facility has a maturity of December 15, 2026 and consists of a $175 million term loan facility and a $125
million RCF. The term loan facility bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment
spread). The RCF bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread), and
commitment fee of 2.8% per annum is payable in respect to any undrawn portion of the RCF commitment.
Our Second lien senior secured facility bears interest at a total margin of 12.5% per annum plus the SOFR (and any applicable credit
adjustment spread), and it has a maturity of June 15, 2027. The margin comprises two components: 5% cash interest and 7.5% PIYC
interest, whereby Seadrill either pays the PIYC interest in cash or the equivalent amount is capitalized as principal outstanding (dependent
on certain conditions set out in the facility agreement).
Our Unsecured convertible bond has a maturity of August 2028 and bears interest, payable quarterly in cash, at three-month US LIBOR
plus 6% on the principal value of $50 million . The note is convertible into conversion shares in an amount equal to 5% of the fully-
diluted ordinary shares of the issuer. If not converted, a bullet repayment will become due on maturity date.
Interest on SFL Leases
Interest on SFL leases reflects the cost incurred on capital lease agreements between Seadrill and SFL Corporation for the West Taurus,
West Linus and West Hercules. During the reorganization, the West Taurus lease was rejected and the West Linus and West Hercules were
modified to be operating leases, resulting in no further expense being recorded through this line for the Successor company. For further
information on our bankruptcy proceedings refer to Note 3 - ''Chapter 11''.
Unwind of debt premium
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, we recorded our debt at fair value, which was at a premium to the principal value. The debt
premium is unwound over the remaining term of the debt facilities.
Note 11 Taxation
Income tax expense for the period from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022 (Predecessor) was $2 million, and for the period from
February 23, 2022 through March 31, 2022 (Successor) was $1 million (three months ended March 31, 2021: expense of $2 million).
The income tax expense of  $2 million for the period from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022 (Predecessor), and $1 million for
the period from February 23, 2022 through March 31, 2022 (Successor) was primarily due to ordinary taxes in Saudi Arabia, Angola, UK,
and movements in our Uncertain Tax Positions.
Seadrill Limited is incorporated in Bermuda, where a tax exemption has been granted until 2035. Other jurisdictions in which Seadrill's
subsidiaries operate are taxable based on rig operations. A loss in one jurisdiction may not be offset against taxable income in other
jurisdictions. Thus, we may pay tax within some jurisdictions even though we might have losses in others.

Tax authorities in certain jurisdictions examine our tax returns and some have issued assessments. We are defending our tax positions in
those jurisdictions.
The Brazilian tax authorities have issued a series of assessments with respect to our returns for certain years up to 2017 for an aggregate
amount equivalent to $124 million including interest and penalties. As a positive development in relation to the earlier years' assessments,
the first tier judicial court has ruled in favor of Seadrill. However, an appeal has since been filed by the tax authorities to the second tier
judicial court. The relevant group companies are robustly contesting these assessments including filing the relevant appeals to the tax
authorities and counter-appeal to the higher court.
The Nigerian tax authorities have issued a series of claims and assessments both directly and lodged through the previous Chapter 11
proceedings, with respect to returns for subsidiaries for certain years up to 2016 for an aggregate amount equivalent to $171 million. The
relevant group companies are robustly contesting these assessments including filing relevant appeals in Nigeria. An adverse outcome on
these proposed assessments, although considered unlikely based on current positive engagement with the Nigerian tax authorities, could
result in a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations or Cash Flows.
The Kuwaiti tax authorities have issued a series of assessments with respect to our returns for years up to 2015 for an aggregate amount
equivalent to $12 million including interest and penalties. The relevant group company is robustly contesting these assessments including
filing relevant appeals.
The Mexican tax authorities have issued a series of assessments with respect to our returns for certain years up to 2014 for an aggregate
amount equivalent to $95 million including interest and penalties (across our continuing and discontinued operations of $49 million and
$46 million respectively). The relevant group companies are robustly contesting these assessments including filing relevant appeals.
Note 12 – Earnings/(Loss) per share
The computation of basic earnings/(loss) per share (“EPS/LPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS/LPS includes the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments. There were no dilutive
instruments in the Predecessor period, but the issuance of the convertible note in the Successor period is dilutive. Refer to Note 18
''Debt  for further details''.

As set out in Note 3 - "Chapter 11", as part of the Group's this wider restructuring process, we sold 65% of our equity interest in Paratus
Energy Services Ltd ("PES") (formerly NSNCo) on January 20, 2022. As the result, the carrying value of the net assets were
deconsolidated on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and replaced with the fair value of the retained 35% equity method investment in PES,
calculated at $56 million. This is accounted for as an investment in associate. Seadrill did not receive any cash consideration for the 65%
equity interest in NSNCo. While the release of Seadrill's guarantee of the notes held by NSNCo represents consideration received for the
exchange of the 65% equity interest in NSNCO, the fair value of the guarantee was determined to be nil. Thus, no amount would be
attributable to the cost of the 35% interest in NSNCo.
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and application of Fresh Start accounting, a fair value adjustment has been made for the
investment, reducing the value of PES to $39 million. For further information, refer to Note 4 - "Fresh Start accounting".

Derecognition of West Linus
On February 19, 2022, Seadrill signed a transition agreement with SFL pursuant to which the West Linus rig will be delivered back to
SFL upon assignment of the ConocoPhillips drilling contract to SFL. Seadrill has been leasing the harsh environment jack-up rig, West
Linus, from SFL.
The Chapter 11 proceedings afforded Seadrill the option to reject or amend the lease. The amended charter no longer contained a purchase
obligation and therefore resulted in the derecognition of the rig asset of $175 million and liability of $158 million on emergence from
Chapter 11 proceedings.
Fresh Start accounting
On emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, the carrying value of our drilling units were adjusted to fair value as a result of the
implementation of Fresh Start accounting. The fair values were determined through a combination of income-based and market based
approaches, with accumulated depreciation being reset to nil. Refer to Note 4 - ''Fresh Start accounting'' for further information.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
On emergence, we entered into a $300 million super senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders secured on a first lien basis.
The facility has a maturity of December 15, 2026 and consists of a $175 million term loan facility and a $125 million RCF. The term loan
facility and RCF bears interest at a margin of 7% per annum plus SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread). A commitment fee
of 2.8% per annum is payable in respect of any undrawn portion of the RCF commitment. The facility includes an undrawn basket in
amount of $50 million for incremental facilities pari passu with the facility for specified purposes. There is a 3% exit fee payable on
principal repayments under the super senior credit facility; in addition, there is a make-whole premium payable if the facility is repaid
within the first three years. We have recognized a debt premium of $9 million in respect to the facility.
New Second Lien Facility
On emergence, we entered into a senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders to partially reinstate the existing facilities in an
aggregate amount of $683 million, secured on a second lien basis. The facility bears interest at a total margin of 12.5% per annum plus
SOFR (and any applicable credit adjustment spread), and has a maturity of June, 15 2027. The above-mentioned margin is comprised of
5% cash interest; and 7.5% PIYC interest, whereby Seadrill can elect to pay the interest in cash or capitalize the interest to the principal
outstanding (dependent on certain conditions set out in the facility agreement). The PIYC interest compounds to the loan quarterly. There
is a 5% exit fee required on this facility. We have recognized a debt premium of $34 million in respect to the facility.
Unsecured convertible notes
On emergence, we issued a $50 million unsecured convertible note to Hemen Holdings Ltd., with a final maturity in August 2028 (the
"Convertible Note"). The note bears interest of 6% per annum plus 3-month US LIBOR, which is payable quarterly in cash. The
Convertible Note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares in an amount equal to 5% of the fully-diluted ordinary shares.
Fair value adjustment
The term loan facility and second lien facility were recognized at fair value, which was at a premium to the principal value. The resulting
premium was recorded, increasing the debt due on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The debt premium is amortized over the remaining
term of the debt facilities.
The unsecured convertible note was recognized at fair value, with both the issue discount and the fair value of the conversion option being
recognized against additional paid-in capital in the Predecessor, which was subsequently cancelled on emergence from Chapter 11
proceedings. Refer to Note 4 - ''Fresh Start accounting'' for further information.

accordance with Topic 842, we record lease liabilities and associated right-of-use assets for our portfolio of operating leases.
We continue to lease three of our benign environment jack-up rigs, West Castor, West Telesto and West Tucana, to our joint venture,
Gulfdrill, for a contract with GDI in Qatar.
In March, 2020, Seadrill was awarded a contract to provide drilling services for 10 firm wells and 4 optional wells. To fulfill this contract
Seadrill entered a charter agreement to lease the West Bollsta rig from Northern Ocean. The rig was mobilized and commenced operations
in early October after being available at the drill location in September, 2020. This operating lease arrangement resulted in the recognition
of a lease liability and offsetting right of use asset. During 2021, the charter was amended to cancel the drilling of the 10th well, resulting
in an early termination fee of $6 million in 2021, $1 million in the period from January 1, 2022 through February 22, 2022 (Predecessor)
and right-of-use asset impairment charge of $10 million being recorded in 2021.
Seadrill entered into sale and leaseback arrangements for the West Hercules semi-submersible rig with SFL Hercules Ltd in 2008, the
West Linus Jack-up rig with SFL Linus Ltd in 2014, and the West Taurus semi-submersible rig with SFL Deepwater Ltd in 2008, all
wholly owned subsidiaries of SFL Corporation Ltd ("SFL").
The West Taurus lease was terminated in March 2021 and the West Taurus was delivered back to SFL on May 6, 2021.
On August 27, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved an amendment to the original West Hercules SFL charter based on the current
Equinor contract in Norway and in direct continuation (after a period of mobilization) of the subsequent Equinor contract in Canada. The
buy-back obligation, that previously resulted in the failed sale and lease back treatment, was removed in this amendment, resulting in a
deemed disposal of the West Hercules. Seadrill is leasing the West Hercules from SFL under an operating lease until the end of the
Canada contract. The lease is expected to end in October 2022. Refer to Note 27 – “Related party transactions” for further information.
On February 22, 2022, Seadrill entered an interim transition charter with SFL, which will see Seadrill continuing to operate the West
Linus until the rig is delivered back to SFL, expected during the second half of 2022. The amendment results in the recognition of a short-
term operating lease. The buy-back obligation, that previously resulted in the failed sale and lease back treatment, was removed in this
amendment, resulting in a deemed disposal of the West Linus.
Lease fair value and Chapter 11
In accordance with the bankruptcy guidance, liabilities and assets associated with assumed leases should be recognized as of the date of
emergence in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805. Leases are one of the limited exceptions to the fair value recognition and
measurement principles under ASC 805 and follow specific guidance for acquired leases under ''ASC 842'' and ASC 805. In accordance
with such guidance, at emergence, assumed leases are remeasured by utilizing 1) the remaining lease term (including consideration for
any lessee options that are reasonably certain of exercise); 2) the remaining lease payments; 3) the updated discount rate for the successor
entity which is reflective of the new lease term. Further, in a business combination, ASC 842 requires that the acquirer retain the
acquiree’s previous lease classification, unless the lease is modified.
Lease liabilities (Short-term & Long-term):
In accordance with ASC 805, acquired operating lease liabilities should be measured as if they were new leases following the guidance
under ASC 842 (e.g., reassessment of the lease term, incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), lease payments, purchase options). Therefore,
all assumed lease liabilities were measured at the present value of remaining lease payments discounted at the IBR of the successor on the
date of remeasurement (i.e., the Effective Date).

ROU asset:
In accordance with ASC 805, acquired operating lease ROU assets are measured at the amount of the corresponding lease liabilities
adjusted by any favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease as compared to market terms. When determining whether there were any
favorable or unfavorable terms of a lease that required recognition, management considered all of the terms of the lease (e.g., contractual
rent payments, renewal or termination options, purchase options, lease incentives). Pursuant to the above guidance, as part of its fresh-
start valuation, the Company adjusted the ROU asset downwards for the West Hercules and West Linus SFL bareboat charters by $8.6
million and $12.8 million respectively for the effect of off-market rental payments.

Note 23Risk management and financial instruments
We are exposed to several market risks, including credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Our policy is to reduce our
exposure to these risks, where possible, within boundaries deemed appropriate by our management team. This may include the use of
derivative instruments.
Seadrill Limited
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-34
Credit risk
We have financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, related party receivables, other receivables and certain amounts receivable
on derivative instruments. These assets expose us to credit risk arising from possible default by the counterparty. Most of the
counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions or large oil and gas companies. We do not expect any significant loss to result from
non-performance by such counterparties. However, we have established an allowance on our trade receivables due from related parties
reflecting their current financial position, lower credit rating and overdue balances.
We do not demand collateral in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2022, the credit exposure of derivative financial
instruments is limited to our interest rate cap.
Credit risk is also considered as part of our expected credit loss provision. For details on how we estimate expected credit losses refer to
Note 5 - "Current expected credit losses".
Concentration of risk 
There is also a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that most of the amounts are carried with
Citibank, Danske Bank A/S, DNB, HSBC, and BTG Pactual. We consider these risks to be remote, but, from time to time, we may utilize
instruments such as money market deposits to manage concentration of risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents. We also have a
concentration of risk with respect to customers, including affiliated companies. For details on the customers with greater than 10% of
contract revenues, refer to Note 6 - "Segment information". For details on amounts due from affiliated companies, refer to Note 24 -
"Related party transactions".
Foreign exchange risk
It is customary in the oil and gas industry that a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, which is the
functional currency of most of our subsidiaries and equity method investees. However, a portion of the revenues and expenses of certain
of our subsidiaries and equity method investees are denominated in other currencies. We are therefore exposed to foreign exchange gains
and losses that may arise on the revaluation or settlement of monetary balances denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign exchange
exposures primarily relate to cash and working capital balances denominated in foreign currencies. We do not expect these exposures to
cause a significant amount of fluctuation in net income and do not currently hedge them. The effect of fluctuations in currency exchange
rates arising from our international operations has not had a material impact on our overall operating results.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates mainly to our floating rate debt and balances of surplus funds placed with financial institutions.
We manage this risk through the use of derivative arrangements.  On May 11, 2018, we purchased an interest rate cap for $68 million to
mitigate exposure to future increases of LIBOR. The $4.5 billion of debt principal covered by the cap is significantly in excess of
Seadrill's debt outstanding following the restructuring and the interest rate cap is not designated as a hedge and therefore we do not apply
hedge accounting. The capped rate against the 3-month US LIBOR is 2.87% and covers the period from June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2023. 
The 3-month LIBOR rate as at March 31, 2022 was 0.961%
The new term loan and second lien debt facilities entered on emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings will be referenced to the SOFR,
while the Convertible Note will be referenced to the 3-month US LIBOR.
Note 24 Related party transactions
Prior to emerging from Chapter 11 proceedings on February 22, 2022, our main related parties included (i) affiliated companies over
which we held significant influence, (ii) affiliated companies and (iii) companies who were either controlled by or whose operating
policies were significantly influenced by Hemen, who was a major shareholder of the Predecessor Company. On emergence, Hemen's
equity interest in Seadrill substantially decreased and, as a result, companies who were either controlled by or whose policies were
significantly influenced by Hemen are no longer related parties.
Companies over which we hold significant influence include Sonadrill, Gulfdrill and, following the disposal of 65% of our equity interest
in NSNCo, Paratus Energy Services Limited ("PES"), formally NSNCo. PES owns 100% of SeaMex and holds a 50% equity interest in
Seabras Sapura. Prior to November 2, 2021, SeaMex was an affiliated company with which we held a 50% interest. On November 2,
2021, NSNCo purchased the residual equity in SeaMex, which led to it becoming a wholly owned subsidiary, until the disposal of
NSNCo on January 20, 2022 .
Aquadrill (formerly Seadrill Partners) was an affiliated company until it emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings in May 2021. The
information presented within this note includes all services performed prior to May 2021.
Companies that are controlled by, or whose operating policies may be significantly influenced by, Hemen include SFL, Archer, Frontline,
Seatankers, Northern Drilling and Northern Ocean. In the following sections we provide an analysis of transactions with related parties
and balances outstanding with related parties.

Oro Negro
The CEO of Perforadora Oro Negro, S. DE R.L. DE C.V ("Oro Negro"), a Mexican drilling rig contractor, filed a complaint personally
and in his capacity as foreign representative of Oro Negro on June 6, 2019 in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of
New York, within Oro Negro’s Chapter 15 proceedings ancillary to its Mexican insolvency process. The complaint names Seadrill and its
joint venture partner as co-defendants along with other defendants including Oro Negro bondholders. With respect to Seadrill, the
complaint asserts claims relating to alleged tortious interference but does not seek to quantify damages. On August 25, 2019, Seadrill
submitted a motion to dismiss the complaint on technical legal grounds. Oro Negro responded to this motion on October 25, 2019. The
Company has the opportunity to reply to this in further support of the motion, the date of which has not yet been determined. Seadrill
intends to vigorously defend against the claims Oro Negro asserts and dispute the allegations set forth in the complaint. The proceedings
have been stayed since March, 2020. On August 6, 2021 the United States Bankruptcy Court was notified that the auction of Oro Negro’s
assets was approved by the Mexican Concurso court. The stay in the bankruptcy proceeding will continue whilst a purchase is agreed.
Nigerian Cabotage Act litigation
Seadrill Mobile Units Nigeria Ltd ("SMUNL") commenced proceedings in May 2016 against the Honourable Minister for Transportation,
the Attorney General of the Federation and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency with respect to interpretation of the
Coastal and Inland Shipping (Cabotage) Act 2003 (the "Cabotage Act"). SMUNL is an Aquadrill entity which is the litigating party on
behalf of both Aquadrill and Seadrill as the litigation relates to the West Capella (an Aquadrill rig) and the West Saturn and West Jupiter
(Seadrill rigs). On June 28, 2019, the Federal High Court of Nigeria delivered a judgement finding that: (1) Drilling operations fall within
the definition of "Coastal Trade" or "Cabotage" under the Act and (2) Drilling Rigs fall within the definition of "Vessels" under the
Cabotage Act. The impact of this decision is that the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency ("NIMASA") may impose a
2% surcharge on contract revenue from offshore drilling operations in Nigeria, as well as requiring SMUNL register for Cabotage with
NIMASA and pay all fees and tariffs as may be published in the guidelines that may be issued by the Minister of Transportation in
accordance with the Cabotage Act. However, on July 22, 2019, SMUNL filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal challenging the decision
of the Federal High Court. Due to the volume of cases currently being handled by the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos the Group
anticipate a decision within three to five years.
Although we intend to strongly pursue this appeal, it cannot predict the outcome of this case. We do not believe that it is probable that the
ultimate liability, if any, resulting from this litigation will have a material effect on our financial position.
Lava Jato
On September 23, 2020, Seadrill's subsidiary Seadrill Serviços de Petroleo, Ltda was served with a search and seizure warrant from the
Federal Police in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as part of the phase of Operation Lava Jato relating to individuals formally associated with
Seadrill Serviços. Seadrill is cooperating with the investigation. The Brazilian markets have experienced heightened volatility in recent
years due to the uncertainties derived from the ongoing investigations being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor,
the Brazilian Federal Police, the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and
Environmental Crime (Økokrim) and other Brazilian and foreign public authorities, including the largest such investigation known as
Lava Jato, and the impact that such investigations have on the Brazilian economy and political environment. Numerous elected officials,
public servants and executives and other personnel of large and state-owned companies have been subject to investigation, arrest, criminal
charges and other proceedings in connection with allegations of political corruption, including the acceptance of bribes by means of
kickbacks on contracts granted by the government to several infrastructure, oil and gas and construction companies, among others. The
profits of these kickbacks allegedly financed the political campaigns of political parties that were unaccounted for or not publicly
disclosed and served to personally enrich the recipients of the bribery scheme. Individuals who have had commercial arrangements with
Seadrill have been identified in the Lava Jato investigations and the investigations by the Brazilian authorities are ongoing. The outcome
of certain of these investigations is uncertain, but they have already had an adverse impact on the business, image and reputation of the
implicated companies, and on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy. We cannot predict whether such allegations will
lead to further political and economic instability or whether new allegations against government officials or executives will arise in the
future. We also cannot predict the outcome of any such allegations on the Brazilian economy, and the Lava Jato investigation including its
recent phases, could adversely affect our business and operations.

The fair value of related party loan receivable balances are assumed to be equal to their carrying value, after adjusting for expected credit
losses. The loans are categorized as level 2 on the fair value hierarchy and were repaid in 2022. Other trading balances with related parties
are not shown in the table above and are covered in Note 24 - ''Related party transactions''.
Level 3
Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, our secured credit facilities were settled and replace with the first and second lien senior
notes and an unsecured convertible note. The fair values attributed to the first and second lien debt were derived by discounting the future
cash flows associated with each facility, using a weighted average cost of capital  range of 8.3% to 10.3%. The fair value attributed to the
unsecured convertible bond is bifurcated into two elements: the straight debt component is derived through a discounted cash flow
approach, similarly to the one applied for the first and second lien debt, and the conversion option, which is derived through an option
pricing model which forecasts equity volatility and compares the potential conversion redemption against historical and implied equity
movements in comparable companies in our industry.
The fair values of the secured credit facilities as at December 31, 2021 (Predecessor) were determined by reference to the secured credit
facilities holder allocation of the Seadrill fair value post emergence, as this was the expected amount of equity they would be entitled to,
as well as the value of the issuance of second lien debt facility and cash payment of AOD debt. The fair value was derived using a
discounted cash flow model of future free cash flows from each rig, using a weighted average cost of capital  range of 17.0%.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, our related party loans payable were extinguished and a gain recognized in
"Reorganization items, net". The fair value of the related party loans payable as at December 31, 2021 (Predecessor), for the West Taurus
was derived using the court approved maximum cash settlement amount of $0.25 million. For the West Linus the fair value was derived
using a discounted cash flow model of future free cash flows based on the contractual cash flows under the bareboat charter agreement
together with the LIBOR linked interest payments, as well as assumed cash outflows under the mandatory repurchase obligation at the
end of the lease term. These cash flows were discounted using the weighted average cost of capital of 10%.
Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are by their nature short-term. As a result, the
carrying values included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value.
