Financial Overview
-- First half revenue of $54.5 million, 4.6% lower than H2 2017
at $57.1 million (H1 2017: $62.3 million)
-- Lower revenue driven by reduced fleet utilisation as the
Group continues to redeploy assets to West Africa
-- EBITDA increased by 7.8% to $12.5 million (H1 2017: $11.6
million), with EBITDA margins expanding to 22.9% (H1 2017: 18.7%),
reflecting the benefits of improved cost management

-- Capex increased by 11% to $4.7 million (H1 2017: $4.2
million), primarily directed to the purchase of replacement

drilling contract, currently drilling with three rigs
-- Contract wins reflecting the continued improvement in the exploration drilling market
-- Long term contract wins (Resolute and Kinross) building the
Group's portfolio of multi-year mine-site based contracts
-- Made significant progress expanding the Group's presence in
the West Africa region, including asset mobilisations which
increased our rig number to 26 rigs, with further rigs scheduled
for Q3 arrival
-- Established infrastructure with offices, warehouses,
workshops and accommodation in Bamako, Mali, and Yamoussoukro, Côte
d'Ivoire, adding to the existing presence in Mauritania
-- Appointed a Business Development Manager, Julian Blake, initially based in Ghana
-- H1 utilisation of 46%, down from 56% in H1 2017, on an
average fleet size of 94 rigs, with substantial assets redeployment
to West Africa

performance at major mine site contracts
Health & Safety
-- Previously announced world class achievements:
- Mali (Syama Project) achieved two years LTI free in June 2018
- Tanzania (North Mara Project) achieved two years LTI free in March 2018
- Tanzania (Geita Project) achieved one year LTI free in March 2018
Outlook
-- Trading conditions continue to be supportive, with elevated
levels of enquires and tendering requests
-- Capital markets activity continues to support future demand,
albeit recent weakness in metal prices and economic uncertainty has
lead to an easing in market sentiment since the last update
-- Cash generation from miners remain at healthy levels which is
driving increased budgets and demand from the producers
-- Recent contract awards add to the Group's portfolio of long
term production and mine-site based contracts
-- While activity levels in Tanzania remain subdued, recent
feedback suggest constructive dialogue with the Government and
progress with the newly formed Mining Commission
-- Asset deployment and infrastructure development in the key
West African market has provided Capital Drilling with a solid
platform to grow operations in this high growth market
-- The Group maintains a strong balance sheet and unutilised assets to capture future growth opportunities
Following a number of contract wins across existing countries of
operation, including the key focus market of West Africa, the Group
maintains its upgraded revenue guidance range of $105 to $115
million for 2018.
Commenting on the results, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chairman of
Capital Drilling, said:
"We are pleased to report another strong half yearly result,
both in terms of the Group's financial performance and strategy
execution. With a supportive demand cycle and robust discipline
from the management team on costs and CAPEX, the Group has
continued to deliver on its financial goals, with solid free cash
flow and a strong balance sheet. Particularly pleasing was the
increase in key profitability measures and margins, despite the
reduced fleet utilisation and revenue, driven by the strategic
redeployment of assets to the key West African markets. As a result
of the performance, we have today announced an interim dividend to
shareholders of 0.6 cents per share, representing a 20% increase on
the prior half year period.
The building of our business in West Africa has been the major
focus of our growth strategy over the past 6 months. The Group has
developed new operational centres in Côte d'Ivoire and Mali over
the period, complementing our long established operations in
Mauritania, all of which provide the infrastructure to deploy
further production and exploration rigs into what is regarded as
one of the fastest growing drilling markets in the industry. We
ended the half year period with 26 rigs across these countries,
almost doubling our capacity in the six month period, with further
rigs and assets due to arrive in the third quarter.
Our increased footprint and presence in West Africa has yielded
early results, with the Group announcing three new contracts in the
region, with Kinross Gold (Tasiast), Resolute Mining (Syama) and
Hummingbird Resources (Yanfolila). As a result of these contract
wins, along with exploration contract wins in Botswana, Egypt and
Tanzania, the Group expects to see an increase in utilisation rates
over the second half, which fully underpins the investment we have
made to target the West African market.
Outside of West Africa our core long term contracts in Tanzania
and Egypt have continued to perform strongly, which was reflected
in a further improvement in Average Revenue per Operating Rig for
the period. We are encouraged to see early signs of improvement in
the Tanzanian market, including the formation of the Mining
Commission and increasingly positive feedback on Government
engagement from companies operating in the country. The awarding of
our first exploration contract in Tanzania in two years is
particularly encouraging, as we continue to seek to utilise our
substantial latent capacity in our exploration fleet.
We are pleased to have had another exceptional quarter in terms
of our safety record, which remains at the heart of our strategy,
with a number of new safety records at Syama, North Mara and Geita
sites.
We enter the second half of 2018 in a strong position, with our
traditional markets in East Africa now complemented with a
substantial presence in the key West African region. Tendering
& enquiry levels remain robust and we are confident of future
contract wins in the period ahead."

Cautionary note regarding forward looking statements
Certain information contained in this report, including any
information on Capital Drilling's plans or future financial or
operating performance and other statements that express
management's expectations, or estimates of future performance,
constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on
a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by management at the time, are subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties. Capital Drilling
cautions that such statements involve known and unknown risks,

results, performance or achievements of Capital Drilling to be
materially different than the Company's estimated future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by those
forward-looking statements. These factors include the inherent
risks involved in exploration and development of mineral
properties, changes in economic conditions, changes in the
worldwide price of commodities and project execution delays, many
of which are beyond the control of Capital Drilling. Nothing in the
report should be construed as either an offer to sell or a
solicitation to buy or sell Capital Drilling securities.
INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed
consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 which
comprises the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive
income, financial position, changes in equity, the cash flow
statement and related notes 1 to 18. We have read the other
information contained in the half-yearly financial report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed
consolidated set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board ("IAASB"). Our work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the company those matters we are required to state
to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review
work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (the "IASB"). The condensed consolidated set of
interim financial statements included in this half-yearly financial
report has been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the
IASB.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Group a conclusion on
the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in
the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued
by the IAASB. A review of interim financial information consists of
making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we
would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of interim
financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34
as issued by the IASB and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of
the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2018
1. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
Preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of
Capital Drilling Limited and Subsidiaries ("Capital Drilling"
or the "Group") as at and for the six months ended 30 June
2018 (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared
in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS")
No. 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". They should be read
in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto in the Group's Annual Report for the
year ended 31 December 2017 which have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed in terms
of International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410.
Accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical
cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which
are measured at fair value. The Group has adopted a number
of new standards and interpretations effective on or before
1 January 2018, which were described in note 2 of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. The
adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have
a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements. The same accounting policies, presentation and
methods of computation have been followed in these condensed
consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation
of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2017 except for new accounting policies adopted during the
year described in Note 4 and Note 5.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use
of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management reviews
its estimates on an on-going basis using current available
information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result
in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those
estimates.
2. Operations in the interim period
Capital Drilling Limited is incorporated in Bermuda. The Group
provides drilling services including but not limited to exploration,
development, grade control and blast hole drilling services
to mineral exploration and mining companies located in emerging
and developing markets. The Group also provides some equipment
rental and information technology services to mining and mining
related companies.
During the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Group provided
drilling services in Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Tanzania and
Kenya.
The seasonality of the Group's operations has no significant
impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
3. Taxation
Capital Drilling Limited is incorporated in Bermuda. No taxation
is payable on the results of the Bermuda business. Taxation
for other jurisdictions is calculated in terms of the legislation
and rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2018
3. Taxation (continued)
The Group operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex legal
and tax regulatory environments. In certain of these jurisdictions,
the Group has taken income tax positions that management believes
are supportable and are intended to withstand challenge by tax
authorities. Some of these positions are inherently uncertain
and include those relating to transfer pricing matters and the
interpretation of income tax laws. The Group periodically reassesses
its tax positions. Changes to the financial statement recognition,
measurement, and disclosure of tax positions is based on management's
best judgment given any changes in the facts, circumstances,
information available and applicable tax laws. Considering all
available information and the history of resolving income tax
uncertainties, the Group believes that the ultimate resolution
of such matters will not likely have a material effect on the
Group's financial position, statements of operations or cash
flows.
Due to the tax charge calculations in certain countries in which
the Group operates being based on revenues instead of profits,
the consolidated taxation expense for the period is not directly
linked to profits and losses.
4. IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
In the current financial year Capital Drilling has adopted IFRS
15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services.
"IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers", effective
from 1 January 2018 identifies performance obligations in contracts
with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance
obligations and recognises revenue as performance obligations
are satisfied. The standard requires revenue recognition either
"over time" or at a "point in time" and additionally requires
more detailed disclosures.
A detailed review of all material contracts confirmed that IFRS
15 will not result in a material change to the timing
of revenue or profit recognition on drilling contracts or long-term
drilling contracts. This assessment reflects that Capital Drilling's
contracting arrangements, which are predominantly long-term
drilling contracts, result in the continual transfer of benefits
and corresponding revenue recognition of the Group's performance
to customers over time.
When first applying IFRS 15, entities should apply the standard
in full for the current period, including retrospective application
to all contracts that were not yet complete at the beginning
of that period. In respect of prior periods, the transition
guidance allows entities an option to either: [IFRS 15:C3].
* Option 1 - apply IFRS 15 in full to prior periods
(with certain limited practical expedients being
available); or
* Option 2- retain prior period figures as reported
under the previous standards, recognising the
cumulative effect of applying IFRS 15 as an
adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the
date of initial application (beginning of current
reporting period).
As part of the transition guidance, management have opted for
option 2, where prior period figures are reported under the
previous standards and an adjustment to be made to the opening
balance of equity as at the date of initial application. In
view that there is no material change to the timing of revenue
or profit recognition, there is no adjustment required to the
opening balance of equity.
Capital Drilling has always adopted a prudent approach to contract
accounting. Transparent financial control processes ensure that
recognition of profits and cash flow are aligned closely with
the delivery of our services.

5. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In the current year Capital Drilling has adopted IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments effective since 1 January 2018.
The standard comprises guidance on Classification and Measurement,
Impairment Hedge Accounting and Derecognition:
* IFRS 9 introduces a new approach to the
classification of financial assets, which is driven
by the business model in which the asset is held and
their cash flow characteristics. A new business model
was introduced which does allow certain financial
assets to be categorised as 'fair value through other
comprehensive income' (FVTOCI) in certain
circumstances. The requirements for financial
liabilities are mostly carried forward unchanged from
IAS 39. However, some changes were made to the fair
value option for financial liabilities to address the
issue of own credit risk.
* The new model introduces a single impairment model
being applied to all financial instruments, as well
as an 'expected credit loss' model for the
measurement of financial assets.
* IFRS 9 contains a new model for hedge accounting that
aligns the accounting treatment with the risk
management activities of an entity, in addition,
enhanced disclosures will provide better information
about risk management and the effect of hedge
accounting on the financial statements.
* IFRS 9 carries forward the derecognition requirements
of financial assets and liabilities from IAS 39.
* Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation. The
narrow-scope amendment allows companies to measure
particular prepayable financial assets with negative
compensation at amortised cost or at fair value
through other comprehensive income if a specified
condition is met.
Capital Drilling has assessed the impact of this amendment and
found no material impact on specific or general provisions for
credit losses on its separate and consolidated financial statements
other than the additional disclosure requirements. Capital Drilling
does not have complex financial Instruments. The accounting treatment
for financial instruments under IFRS 9 and the historical accounting
treatment of Capital Drilling financial instruments does not
differ materially due to this absence of complex financial instruments.
Based on the historical loss ratios we are of the view that the
impairment of trade receivables due to the change of the impairment
model is not material. IFRS 9 did not significantly impact the
accounting treatment of inter-company loans. The company and
group does not have any hedged exposures and hedge accounting
is therefore not applicable.

For the six months ended 30 June 2018
15. Contingencies
Zambia Tax:
As disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2017, Capital Drilling (Zambia)
Limited is a party to various tax claims made by the Zambian
Revenue Authority for the tax years 2007 to 2013. On 30 April
2015, the Company received a tax assessment from the Zambian
Revenue Authority totalling ZMW 144.1 million (USD equivalent:
$13.1 million), inclusive of penalties and interest. The claims
relate to various taxes, including income tax, value added tax,
payroll tax and withholding tax. Since the assessment date, Management
have responded in detail to these claims, providing the Zambian
Revenue Authority with detailed analysis and arguments justifying
the Company's tax position. No amount has yet been paid in this
regard and no additional communication or actions were received
from the Zambian Revenue Authority to date. Capital Drilling
(Zambia) is currently dormant with no drilling revenue since
November 2014. An amount of $1.6 million has been raised relating
to certain areas of the claim, however the directors are of the
opinion that a significant portion of the tax claim by the Zambia
Revenue Authority is without merit.
Tanzania tax:
Capital Drilling (T) Ltd is party to a payroll tax claim made
by the Tanzanian Revenue Authority (TRA) for the tax years 2009-2015.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2016, the company
received an immediate demand notice from the (TRA) for Tanzanian
Shillings of 18,598,361,197 (US$ 8,374,660), inclusive of penalties
and interest. Management objected to the assessment raised by
the TRA and requested the calculations of the notice. In order
to object, according to Tanzanian Tax Law Sections 51(1) and
(5) of the TAA 2015, a taxpayer is required to pay the tax amount
not in dispute or one third of the assessed tax whichever is
greater. It is prudent to note that the Finance Act in 2016 added
a further subsection (9) in Section 51 regarding tax objections
and assessments. The said amendment provides: "Where the taxpayer
fails to pay the amount stated under subsection (5) within the
time provided therein, the assessed tax decision shall be confirmed
as final tax assessment in terms of section 15(1)(a) of the Tax
Revenue Appeals Act." In accordance with the above-mentioned
legislation, management reached an agreement with the TRA to
pay Tanzanian Shillings of 1,500,000,000 ($0.7 million) in lieu
of the one third of the assessed value. This amount was fully
provided for in the 2016 Annual Financial Statements. In June
2017 the TRA provided their workings to Capital Drilling (T)
Ltd. Capital Drilling (T) Ltd identified differences with the
TRA on both the specific merits and methodology used to determine
the value. Capital Drilling engaged PWC Tanzania and on 30 April
2018 provided updated calculations for review. Feedback from
the TRA is pending. Capital Drilling (T) Ltd has maintained an
engaging relationship with the TRA to find closure and resolution
to this matter. In order to continue the discussions and negotiations
with the TRA, Capital Drilling (T) Ltd has, at the request of
the TRA, paid an additional amount of Tanzanian Shillings of
2,600,000,000 ($1.14 million) as at 30 June 2018. This is in
line with the aforementioned Tanzanian Tax Law.
The TRA also raised a Withholding Tax liability of TZS 2,244,907,829
(US$ 1,024,268) inclusive of interest and penalties. The TRA
considered assets purchased by Capital Drilling (T) Ltd as leased.
The TRA interpreted these assets as a rental agreement rather
than permanent acquisition of these assets, which results in
no Withholding Tax liability. Management lodged an objection
on 14 November 2016 and paid an upfront payment of TZS 170,000,000
(US$ 77,564) in order to have the objection validated and acknowledged,
as is required per subsection (9) in Section 51 of the Income
Tax Act of Tanzania. Based on the above, management assessed
no further liability with regards to this assessment. As at 31
December 2017, this objection is still pending with the TRA and
no resolution has been reached as yet.
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2018
16. Events post the reporting date
Interim dividend declared:
The directors proposed that an interim dividend of 0.6 cent per
share be paid to shareholders on 5 October 2018. This dividend
has not been included as a liability in these condensed consolidated
interim financial statements. The proposed dividend is payable
to all shareholders on the Register of Members on 7 September
2018. The total estimated interim dividend to be paid is $0.8
million (2017: $0.7 million). The payment of this dividend will
have no tax consequences for the Group.
17. Going concern
The Group has set specific objectives and also has policies and
processes in place to manage its capital and its financial, credit
risk and liquidity risks.
The Group has borrowings and debt facilities which, together
with its clients' receipts, fund its day to day working capital
requirements. Volatile economic conditions may create uncertainty
particularly over (a) the level of demand for the Group's services;
(b) exchange rate fluctuations against the US Dollar and thus
the consequence for the cost of the Group's direct costs; and
(c) the availability of bank financing in the foreseeable future.
The Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account potential
changes in its performance, show that the Group should be able
to operate within the level of its capital structure. The Group
continuously discusses its future borrowing and / or refinancing
needs with its bankers and no matters have been drawn to its
attention to suggest that these needs may not be met on acceptable
terms.
The directors confirm that the Group has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Group continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
in preparing the interim financial statements.
18. Financial instruments

============= =============
The Group's FVTOCI financial assets are listed equity securities
in the mining industry and measured at fair value at the end
of each reporting period. The FVTOCI investments are designated
as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Their fair value is determined
using quote bid prices in an active market. The Group's held-for-trading
financial assets are options and warrants to acquire shares in
listed equity securities that are not traded in an active market.
The held-for-trading financial assets are designated as level
2 in the fair value hierarchy. Their fair value is determined
using a binominal tree model valuation technique based on observable
market data that includes the value of the underlying security,
the exercise price, volatility and risk-free rate of return.
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded
in an active market are determined using standard valuation techniques.
These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market
data where available and rely as little as possible on Group
specific estimates. The directors consider that the carrying
value amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded
at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements are
approximately equal to their fair values. The fair values disclosed
for the financial assets and financial liabilities are classified
in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been assessed to
approximate their carrying amounts based on a discounted cash
flow assessment.
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITEDSTATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY
For the six months ended 30 June 2018
The directors are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting
records and the preparation and integrity of the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements and related information. The auditors
are responsible for expressing a review conclusion on the condensed
consolidated interim financial information based on their review.
The directors are also responsible for the Group's systems of internal
financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements,
and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability for
the Group's assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss.
Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that
any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures
and systems has occurred during the six months under review.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
a) the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements,
which has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Boards gives a true and
fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and
profit or loss of the Group as required by DTR4.2.4R;
b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by DTR 4.2.7R and DTR4.2.8; and
c) there has been no significant individual related party transactions
during the first six months of the financial year and nor
have there been any significant changes in the Group's related
party relationships from those reported in the Group's annual
financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2017.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared on the going concern basis since the directors believe that
the Group has adequate resources in place to continue in operation
for the foreseeable future.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved
by the board of directors on 13 August 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents profit or loss for the year before interest,
income taxes, depreciation and amortisation adjusted for share of
income (loss) from associates, interest income, finance charges,
fair value adjustments on financial assets at fair value through
profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on FVTOCI shares.
Adjusted EBITDA is non-IFRS financial measures that is used as supplemental
financial measures by management and external users of financial
statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating
performance. These non-IFRS financial measures will assist our management
and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance
from period to period.
We believe that including Adjusted EBITDA assists our management
and investors in: -
i. understanding and analysing the results of our operating and business
performance, and
ii. monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in
assessing whether to continue to hold our shares. This is achieved
by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of
depreciation and amortisation, income (loss) from associate, interest
income, finance charges, fair value adjustment on financial assets
at fair value through profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on
FVTOCI shares, which may significantly affect comparability of results
of operations between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools and should not
be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior
to, profit or loss for the period or any other measure of financial
performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Further other companies
in our industry may calculate these measures differently from how
we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Net cash (debt)
Net cash (debt) is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and
cash equivalents less short term and long-term debt.
Management believe that net cash (debt) is a useful indicator
of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital
structure because it indicates the level of borrowings after taking
account of cash and cash equivalents within the Group's business
that could be utilised to pay down the outstanding borrowings.
Management believes that net debt can assist securities analysts,
investors and other parties to evaluate the Group. Net cash (debt)
and similar measures are used by different companies for differing
purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances
of those companies. Accordingly, caution is required in comparing
net debt as reported by the Group to net cash (debt) of other companies.
Net Asset Value per share (cents)
Net Asset Value per share (cents) is a non-financial measure taking
into consideration the total equity over the weighted average number
of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.
Management believes that the net asset value per share is a useful
indicator of the level of safety associated with each individual
share because it indicates the amount of money that a shareholder
would get if the Group were to liquidate. Management believes that
net asset value per share can assist securities analysts, investors
and other parties to evaluate the Group.
Net asset value per share and similar measures are used by different
companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways
that reflect the circumstances of those companies. Accordingly,
caution is required in comparing net asset value per share as reported
by the Group to net asset value per share of other companies.
Average revenue per operating rig
ARPOR is a non-financial measure defined as the average drilling
specific revenue for the period divided by the monthly average
active operating rigs. Drilling specific revenue excludes revenue
generated from shot crew, a blast hole service that does not require
a rig to perform but forms part of drilling. Management uses this
indicator to assess the operational performance across the board
on a period by period basis even if there is an increase or decrease
in rig utilisation.
