We see value in the sector despite a slow recovery in
offshore markets; stocks trading at undemanding valuations
Our proprietary ‘Rig Market Value’ shows ca. 50% upside
across the sector; read across for SPM and MAERSKB
We adjust target prices and estimates to reflect our utilisation
outlook; maintain Buy on RIG, NE and DO
In this report, we discuss why we think current share prices offer deep value opportunities
in this subsector, and are not a value trap. Our analysis suggests that market concerns
over liquidity with the offshore drillers are overdone, with cash needs largely under control
into the early 2020s; we estimate around USD3bn is needed over 2019e-2021e against
total available liquidity of almost USD7bn. We also see sector consolidation as a
continuing theme, and one that supports our rig market value (RMV) calculations.
Context: Despite a drawn-out offshore recovery, we think the fall in the drillers’ share
prices over recent months presents an attractive opportunity. The drillers are at multi-year
lows on price/book metrics, and although the sector is likely to be loss-making until the
early 2020s, we see good value in the stocks (backed by our proprietary rig market value
calculations). Our target prices are on average 50% higher than current market prices.
What’s changed in this report: We adjust our forecasts to reflect Q4 2018 results, new
guidance, recent contract announcements, and our own lower utilization assumptions for
2020e/2021e. On average for our coverage, we lower our forecast EBITDA by 24% for
2019e and 11% for 2020e. We lower our RMV estimates by c13% on average.
Investment view: We see attractive asset-based value across the sector. Our preferred
play is Transocean (RIG) – the market leader with significant exposure to resurgent harsh
environment drilling. Our other Buy-rated names are Diamond (DO) and Noble (NE).
Read-across: Among other Buy-rated companies with offshore drilling exposure, we like
MAERSKB, which announced in August 2018 that it is planning to separately list its drilling
business in 1H 2019 (our RMV sees this fleet worth USD5.2bn), and also SPM, supported
by restructuring and the potential for portfolio change (we estimate SPM’s offshore rig fleet
is worth USD1.5bn).

With offshore drillers trading at multi-year lows on price-to-book ratios, it is almost inevitable to
look at these stocks from a valuation point of view. The question is whether these stocks are
offering deep value with potential for significant upside on rerating or they are a value trap even
at these mouth-watering levels.
We have tried to answer this question in this report with discussion on both the sides of the
argument. We conclude that risk/reward is in favour of the offshore drilling companies after a
share price drop of more than 50% in the last quarter of 2018.
Our preferred name is Transocean, which is the market leader with a strong presence in the
harsh environment market - one segment of which has rebounded strongly through 2018. It is
also fairly well placed from a liquidity point of view. Other Buy rated stocks in the sector are
Diamond Offshore and Noble Corp, and we see read-across for MAERSKB and SPM.
Offshore drilling – The good
Undemanding valuation well supported by our proprietary replacement value matrix
Offshore drillers are trading at their multi-year lows price to book value metric despite
having impaired almost USD14bn in last four years.
Our proprietary vessel-based Rig Market Value (RMV) metric shows upside of c52% on
average for the offshore drillers we cover. Our RMV numbers are also supported by recent
market transactions.
The current share price of Transocean is implying an almost 20-25% reduction in rig market
value assumptions. The same metric suggests c20% reduction in rig market value
assumptions for Diamond and c15% for Noble Corp.
Among the drillers we prefer Transocean for its exposure to the harsh environment and 7th
generation UDW (ultra-deepwater) market, which are among the stronger segments within the
offshore drilling market; Diamond and Noble are other Buy rated stocks in the sub-sector.

HSBC’s Rig Market Value (RMV) is our proprietary tool which estimates the current market
value of a rig fleet taking into account asset specifications, the value of attached drilling
contracts and recent rig sale transactions. This approach has been useful as an additional
method of estimating the current fair value of the offshore drillers, and in particular, acting as a
potential valuation ceiling for the companies.
Our RMV estimates current ‘steel’ value, taking into account a rig’s age, water depth
capability, current status (i.e. stacked or not) and current contractual position (for which we
estimate a NPV). With near-term earnings estimates in a loss-making position, we believe a
more appropriate way to look at such asset-heavy companies is on an asset-by-asset
valuation basis rather than looking at near-term EPS or EV/EBITDA-based metrics.
A consolidating industry- The offshore drilling industry has gone through a lot of consolidation
over the last 12-24 months; Transocean has been at the forefront of this. It bought Songa
Offshore and then Ocean Rig in 2018. More recently Ensco and Rowan are merging in a share-
swap deal. We do expect further consolidation in the industry as some of the smaller players are
struggling hard to survive and some are already going through bankruptcy proceedings.
The benefits of consolidation in the industry are manifold: firstly it helps bring rationalization
in the industry with asset retirements; secondly a consolidating industry with fewer players
will instill a disciplined approach with fewer rigs chasing a particular job. This means bids
would be more rational, leading to an eventual rise in the day-rates, and thirdly this will
bring down the operating expenses and make the companies more competitive.
Refinancing needs do not pose near term challenges - One of the main concerns of the
market around these drilling companies is their ability to fund their operations during the
stress period (which is not likely to improve for another couple of years). Our analysis of the
drillers’ debt profile shows that most of the near term financing needs have been taken care
of by the companies in the last 2-3 years and the refinancing needs appear only in 2023/24.
Though the drillers won’t be free cash flow positive in the next 2-3 years on our estimates, we
think they won’t have any significant financing needs in the near term and the cash on the balance
sheet and the revolvers should be able to take care of that. We estimate liquidity needs of offshore
drillers around USD3bn between 2019e-2021e against total liquidity availability of USD6.7bn.

Potential for earnings recovery in a recovering market is substantial - Given the costs
of running a rig have seen significant deflation, and oversupply in the value chain indicates
only limited increases in the medium term, any upside in day-rate will directly help the
bottom line of the driller. This means the potential for earnings growth is substantial when
the tide turns in favour of the drillers. This situation can arise if we see a significant pick up
in demand or additional retirement/scrapping which is quite possible.
Just as an example, in 2018, in a span of 9 months, day-rates for the harsh environment
category of rigs increased from 150-200K per day to 275-300K per day as the market
became tight due to incremental demand coming from the North Sea. Even on our
estimates of day-rates growth, which we consider to be conservative, we see a 136%
increase in forecasted EBITDA numbers over 2019e to 2025e period for the three drillers.
No threat of new supply- We see little threat of additional supply coming into the market in
the near future other than the rigs which are already under construction at yards. In fact we
think a significant proportion of these rigs under construction won’t be actually completed
and will ultimately be scrapped. Also, current cost of a second-hand rig is much less than
the cost of a new-build.
As an example the recent deal between Ocean Rig and Transocean happened at a value of
USD270-280m for a 7
th
-generation rig which is much lower than the cost of a new-build, which
is around USD500m. Operators are likely to prefer buying rigs at discounted prices rather than
going for any new-build. Besides, we also think that operators will find it very difficult to find
financing for a new-build despite very liberal terms of payments from yards (10% upfront, 90%
on delivery) and current day-rates are not supportive for a decent payback.
The offshore market will continue to exist - We have seen in the last 2-4 years that offshore
project break-evens have declined and projects are now viable well below USD50/barrel from a
level of USD60/barrel a few years ago. Besides, time to first oil is also decreasing, leading to a
better return profile for offshore projects. Though offshore projects still cannot compete with US
tight oil in terms of payback period, the returns are increasingly attractive. This leads us to
believe that there will always be demand for offshore oil and that means rig demand will not go
away. In fact, most of the consultants in the oil industry are already talking about a significant
increase in offshore FIDs in 2019 given the returns have become very attractive.
Operators’ cash flow at high levels- Operator cash flow is at the levels seen in 2014 when oil
prices were above USD100/barrel. Focus from operators is clearly on shareholder returns but
we are seeing instances of rising capex in 2019. Exxon has guided for capex in the range of
USD28-30bn (up from USD26bn in 2018) while Total has increased its capex from USD12.5bn
in 2018 to USD14-14.5bn this year (+15% yoy). This has positive implications for offshore
capex, which we expect to rise in 2019 from last year’s levels. For more details refer to Global
integrated oils 4Q results: more of what we need to see dated 13
th
February 2019.
Offshore drilling – And the bad
Acute oversupply and low utilization- Overall the rig market is going through a period of
acute oversupply with close to 41% of semis, 46% of drillships and 36% of the jackup fleet
actively looking for work. The situation is even worse if we add the currently-under-construction
rig fleet to this tally. We expect this situation to gradually improve but a significant jump in
utilization is highly unlikely in the near future. This is likely to put a cap on the day-rates as
competition for any new job will be intense. However, there are some bright spots, such as the
harsh environment market, where the demand/supply situation is more balanced.
