EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Business



We are a leading provider of offshore contract drilling services to the
international oil and gas industry with operations in almost every major
offshore market across six continents. We own the world's largest offshore
drilling rig fleet, including one of the newest ultra-deepwater fleets in the
industry and a leading premium jackup fleet. We currently own 52 rigs,
including 11 drillships, four dynamically positioned semisubmersible
rigs, one moored semisubmersible rig, 36 jackup rigs and a 50% equity interest
in ARO, our 50/50 unconsolidated joint venture with Saudi Aramco, which owns an
additional seven rigs. Additionally, we have options to purchase two recently
constructed drillships on or before December 31, 2023.

Emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Fresh Start Accounting



On August 19, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Valaris plc ("Legacy Valaris") and
certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors")
filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Chapter 11
Cases"). In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the plan of reorganization,
on and prior to April 30, 2021 ("Effective Date"), Legacy Valaris effectuated
certain restructuring transactions, pursuant to which Valaris Limited
("Valaris") was formed and, through a series of transactions, Legacy Valaris
transferred to a subsidiary of Valaris substantially all of the subsidiaries,
and other assets, of Legacy Valaris.

On the Effective Date, we successfully completed our financial restructuring and
together with the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. On the Effective
Date, Legacy Valaris Class A ordinary shares were cancelled and the Valaris
common shares (the "Common Shares") were issued. Also, former holders of Legacy
Valaris' equity were issued warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase Common Shares.

References to the financial position and results of operations of the
"Successor" relate to the financial position and results of operations of
Valaris, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, after the Effective Date.
References to the financial position and results of operations of the
"Predecessor" refer to the financial position and results of operations of
Legacy Valaris, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, on and prior to the
Effective Date. References to the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" in this
Quarterly Report are to Valaris, together with its consolidated subsidiaries,
when referring to periods following the Effective Date, and to Legacy Valaris,
together with its consolidated subsidiaries, when referring to periods prior to
and including the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, we qualified for and applied fresh start accounting. The
application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting, and
we became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our
financial statements and notes after the Effective Date are not comparable to
our financial statements and notes on and prior to that date. The condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes have been presented with a black
line division to delineate the lack of comparability between the Predecessor and
Successor.

Our Industry



Operating results in the offshore contract drilling industry are highly cyclical
and are directly related to the demand for and the available supply of drilling
rigs. Low demand and excess supply can independently affect day rates and
utilization of drilling rigs. Therefore, adverse changes in either of these
factors can result in adverse changes in our industry. While the cost of moving
a rig may cause the balance of supply and demand to vary somewhat between
regions, significant variations between most regions are generally of a
short-term nature due to rig mobility.

In 2020, the combined effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the significant
decline in the demand for oil and the substantial surplus in the supply of oil
resulted in significantly reduced demand and day rates for offshore drilling
provided by the Company and increased uncertainty regarding long-term market
conditions. These events had a significant adverse impact on our expected
liquidity position and financial runway and led to the filing of the Chapter 11
Cases.

In 2021, Brent crude oil prices increased from approximately $50 per barrel at
the beginning of the year to nearly $80 per barrel by the end of the year.
Increased oil prices were due to, among other factors, rebounding demand for
hydrocarbons, a measured approach to production increases by OPEC+ members and a
focus on cash flow and returns by major exploration and production companies.
The constructive oil price environment led to an improvement in contracting and
tendering activity in 2021 as compared to 2020.

In 2022, Brent crude oil prices have increased dramatically and become
increasingly volatile, in large part due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which
led to sanctions being placed on Russia, including its ability to export crude
oil and other petroleum products. The anticipated impact on supply drove Brent
crude oil prices above $130 per barrel in early March. As of June 30, 2022, the
spot Brent crude price had declined to approximately $120 per barrel. Brent
crude prices continued to decline in July and volatility remains high.

While the spot market for crude oil is indicative of current market conditions,
for larger offshore projects, our customers are more focused on medium-term and
long-term commodity prices when making investment decisions. These forward
prices have also reached levels that are constructive for offshore projects.

The full impact that the pandemic and the volatility of oil prices will have on
our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows is
uncertain due to numerous factors, including the duration and severity of the
pandemic, the continued effectiveness of vaccines, the general resumption of
global economic activity along with the injection of substantial government
monetary and fiscal stimulus, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, inflation and the
sustainability of the improvements in oil prices and demand in the face of
market volatility.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in limited operational downtime. Our
operations and business may be subject to further economic disruptions as a
result of the spread of COVID-19 among our workforce, the extension or
imposition of further public health measures affecting supply chain and
logistics, and the impact of the pandemic on key customers, suppliers, and other
counterparties. There can be no assurance that these, or other issues caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic, will not materially affect our ability to operate our
rigs in the future.

More recently, we have begun to feel the impacts of global inflation, both in
increased personnel costs as well as in the prices of goods and services
required to operate our rigs. While we are currently unable to estimate the
ultimate impact of rising prices, we do expect that our costs will continue to
rise in the near term and will impact our profitability. While certain of our
long-term contracts contain provisions for escalating costs, we cannot predict
with certainty our ability to successfully claim recoveries of higher costs from
our customers under these contractual stipulations.

                                       37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The near-term outlook for the offshore drilling industry has improved since the
beginning of 2021, as evidenced by improving global utilization and increasing
day rates for offshore drilling rigs, most notably for drillships. However,
heightened geopolitical tensions have increased volatility, inflation is
increasing costs of operations and the global recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic remains uncertain. More recently, the combination of global inflation
and a tightening of monetary policy has led to increasing fears of a global
economic recession that may have a negative impact on demand for hydrocarbons.
As a result, there is still uncertainty around the sustainability of the
improvement in oil prices and the recovery in demand for, and profitability of,
offshore drilling services.

Backlog



Our backlog was $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion as of July 28, 2022 and
February 21, 2022, respectively. The decline in backlog is attributable to the
termination of the VALARIS DS-11 contract and revenues realized partially offset
by recent contract awards and contract extensions. Our backlog excludes ARO's
backlog but includes backlog of $144.1 million and $134.3 million, respectively,
from our rigs leased to ARO at the contractual rates. Contract rates with ARO
are subject to adjustment resulting from the shareholder agreement governing the
joint venture. See "  Note 3   - Equity Method Investment in ARO" to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial
Statements" for additional information.

Our backlog as of February 21, 2022 included approximately $428 million
attributable to a contract awarded to VALARIS DS-11 for an eight-well deepwater
project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that was expected to commence in mid-2024. In
February 2022, the customer decided not to sanction and therefore withdrew from
the project associated with this contract. In March 2022, the contract was
novated to another customer, which was a partner on the project. No material
changes to the contract resulted from the novation, including with respect to
the termination provisions in the event the project did not receive final
investment decision (FID). In June 2022, the customer terminated the contract
awarded to VALARIS DS-11.

As a result of the contract termination, we received an early termination fee of
$51.0 million which is included in revenues on our condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As of
June 30, 2022, the $51.0 million termination fee was included in Accounts
receivable, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and was subsequently
collected in July 2022. As of the date of the termination, we had incurred costs
to upgrade the rig pursuant to the requirements of the contract. Costs incurred
for capital upgrades specific to the customer requirements were considered to be
impaired and as such, we recorded a pre-tax, non-cash loss on impairment in the
second quarter of 2022 of $34.5 million. Additional costs were recorded for
penalties and other costs incurred upon cancellation of equipment ordered. See
"  Note 2   - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and "  Note 5   - Property
and Equipment" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in
"Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional information.

ARO backlog was $1.5 billion as of both July 28, 2022 and February 21, 2022,
inclusive of backlog on both ARO owned rigs and rigs leased from us, as recent
contract awards were offset by revenues realized. As a 50/50 unconsolidated
joint venture, when ARO realizes revenue from its backlog, 50% of the earnings
thereon would be reflected in our results in equity in earnings of ARO in our
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The earnings from ARO backlog
with respect to rigs leased from us will be net of, among other things, payments
to us under bareboat charters for those rigs.

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Floaters



Starting in 2021, the more constructive oil price environment has led to an
improvement in contracting and tendering activity. Average benign floater rig
years awarded per quarter since the beginning of 2021 are more than double the
amount awarded per quarter in 2020. This increase in activity is particularly
evident for drillships with several multi-year contracts awarded and a
meaningful improvement in day rates for this class of assets. As a result, we
have recently completed the reactivation of three drillships and one
semisubmersible for long-term contracts and were recently awarded an additional
long-term contract for one of our stacked drillships that is expected to
commence in mid-2023.

While we expect the improved oil price environment to continue to support
deepwater investments, heightened geopolitical tensions, including Russia's
invasion of Ukraine, have increased volatility, the global recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and there are increasing fears of a global
economic recession that may have a negative impact on demand for hydrocarbons.
As a result, there is still uncertainty around the sustainability of the
improvement in oil prices and the recovery in demand for offshore drilling
services.

Our backlog for our floater segment was $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion as of
July 28, 2022 and February 21, 2022, respectively. The decline in backlog is
attributable to the termination of the VALARIS DS-11 contract, which represented
approximately $428.0 million of backlog, and revenues realized, partially offset
by recent contract awards and contract extensions.

Utilization for our floaters was 31% during the second quarter of 2022 compared
to 25% in the first quarter of 2022. Average day rates were approximately
$213,000 during the second quarter of 2022 compared to approximately $197,000 in
the first quarter of 2022. The increase in average day rate and utilization is
primarily due to rigs that were being reactivated or undergoing special periodic
survey in the first quarter and commenced drilling operations in the second
quarter.

Globally, there are 22 newbuild drillships and benign environment semisubmersible rigs reported to be under construction, of which six are scheduled to be delivered before the end of 2022. Most newbuild floaters are uncontracted.



Drilling contractors have retired 136 benign environment floaters since the
beginning of 2014. Nine benign environment floaters older than 20 years of age
are currently idle, four additional benign environment floaters older than 20
years have contracts that will expire within six months without follow-on work,
and there are a further 14 benign environment floaters that have been stacked
for more than three years. Operating costs associated with keeping these rigs
idle as well as expenditures required to re-certify some of these rigs may prove
cost prohibitive. Drilling contractors may elect to scrap or cold stack a
portion of these rigs.

A sustained constructive oil price environment and continued improvement in demand for offshore projects or further rationalization of drilling rig supply are necessary to maintain the improving floater utilization and day rate trajectory.

Jackups



Jackup demand is anticipated to increase meaningfully over the next couple of
years as operators are expected to increase production to benefit from high
commodity prices. We have seen a notable increase in jackup activity since the
beginning of the year, primarily driven by demand from the Middle East, with rig
years awarded in the first half of 2022 more than 30% higher as compared to the
first half of 2021.

Our backlog for our jackup segment was $641.9 million and $643.0 million as of
July 28, 2022 and February 21, 2022, respectively, as revenues realized were
replaced by recent contract awards and contract extensions.
                                       39
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Utilization for our jackups was 67% during the second quarter of 2022 compared
to 63% in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to the retirement of certain
idle rigs. Average day rates were approximately $94,000 during the second
quarter of 2022 compared to approximately $89,000 in the first quarter of 2022.
The increase in average day rates was primarily due to commencement of new
contracts for certain rigs at higher rates.

Globally, there are 27 newbuild jackup rigs reported to be under construction,
of which seven are contracted. There are eight jackups scheduled to be delivered
before the end of 2022, of which five are contracted.

Drilling contractors have retired 163 jackups since the beginning of 2014. There
are 65 jackups older than 30 years currently idle, 30 jackups that are 30 years
or older have contracts expiring within the next six months without follow-on
work, and there are a further 16 jackups that have been stacked for more than
three years. Expenditures required to re-certify some of these rigs may prove
cost prohibitive and drilling contractors may instead elect to scrap or cold
stack a portion of these rigs.


A sustained constructive oil price environment and continued improvement in demand for offshore projects or further rationalization of drilling rig supply are necessary to maintain the improving jackup utilization and day rate trajectory.




Divestitures

Our business strategy has been to focus on ultra-deepwater floater and premium
jackup operations and de-emphasize other assets and operations that are not part
of our long-term strategic plan or that no longer meet our standards for
economic returns. We continue to focus on our fleet management strategy in light
of the composition of our rig fleet. While taking into account certain
restrictions on the sales of assets under our Indenture dated April 30, 2021
that governs our First Lien Notes (the "Indenture"), as part of our strategy, we
may act opportunistically from time to time to monetize assets to enhance
stakeholder value and improve our liquidity profile, in addition to reducing
holding costs by selling or disposing of lower-specification or non-core rigs.
To this end, we continually assess our rig portfolio and actively work with rig
brokers to market certain rigs. See "  Note 8   - Debt" to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for
additional information on restrictions on the sales of assets.


In April 2022, VALARIS 113 and VALARIS 114 were sold resulting in a combined
pre-tax gain on sale of $120.0 million and in May 2022, VALARIS 36 was sold
resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $8.5 million. Also in May 2022, we
received additional proceeds of $7.0 million on our 2020 sale of VALARIS 68
resulting from post-sale conditions of that sale agreement. These incremental
proceeds were recorded as a pre-tax gain on sale. Gains on sales are included in
Other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022 (Successor).

(1) We believe that the discussion of our results of operations for the two
months ended June 30, 2021 combined with the four-month period ended April 30,
2021 provide more meaningful comparisons to the comparable periods in 2022 and
are more useful in understanding operational trends. These combined results do
not comply with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results under
applicable SEC rules.

Overview

Revenue increased $94.9 million, or 30%, for the current quarter as compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to a $51.0 million fee related to the termination of the VALARIS DS-11 contract, as well as $29.8 million from increased operating days across the fleet.



Revenues increased $131.5 million, or 22%, for the six months ended June 30,
2022 (Successor) as compared to the combined Successor and Predecessor prior
year period, primarily due to $79.3 million from increased operating days across
the fleet, a $51.0 million fee related to the termination of the VALARIS DS-11
contract and $20.7 million from higher customer reimbursable revenue. This
increase was partially offset by an $19.8 million decrease in revenue from rigs
operating at lower day rates.

Contract drilling expense increased $30.5 million, or 9%, for the current
quarter as compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to a $27.7 million
increase in costs attributable to rigs stacked or idle in the preceding quarter,
a $25.9 million increase in the costs for certain claims and a $6.8 million
increase in repair costs for a certain rig. This increase is partially offset by
$37.2 million decrease in reactivation costs compared to the preceding quarter.

Contract drilling expense increased $180.7 million, or 35%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 (Successor) as compared to the combined Successor and
Predecessor prior year period, primarily due to a $70.5 million increase in
costs attributable to rigs stacked or idle in the prior year, a $50.6 million
increase in reactivation costs, a $30.6 million increase in the costs for
certain claims and a $26.6 million increase in reimbursable costs.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (Successor), we recorded
non-cash losses on impairment totaling $34.5 million, with respect to
customer-specific capital upgrades for VALARIS DS-11 made pursuant to the terms
of the drilling contract that was terminated during the second quarter of 2022.
During the four months ended April 30, 2021 (Predecessor), we recorded non-cash
losses on impairment totaling $756.5 million, with respect to certain assets in
our fleet. See "  Note 5   - Property and Equipment" to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for
additional information.

Depreciation expense decreased $131.4 million, or 75%, for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 (Successor) as compared to the combined Successor and Predecessor
prior year period, primarily as a result of the reduction in values of property
and equipment from the application of fresh start accounting on the Effective
Date.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.6 million, or 13%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 (Successor) as compared to the combined Successor
and Predecessor prior year period, primarily due to the change in incentive
compensation structure following the Effective Date.

Other income, net, increased $139.2 million for the current quarter as compared
to the preceding quarter. Gains of $135.5 million were recognized during the
current quarter due to the sale of VALARIS 113, VALARIS 114 and VALARIS 36 as
well as additional proceeds received in the current quarter on the sale of a rig
in a prior year as a result of post-sale conditions of that sale agreement.

Other income (expense), net, changed from an expense of $3.6 billion in the
combined Successor and Predecessor prior year period to income of $158.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (Successor). We recorded $3.6 billion of
reorganization costs incurred directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases in the
prior year period and in the current year, we recognized a $137.6 million gain
on sale of property.

(1)Rig utilization is derived by dividing the number of days under contract by
the number of days in the period. Days under contract equals the total number of
days that rigs have earned and recognized day rate revenue, including days
associated with early contract terminations, compensated downtime and
mobilizations and excluding suspension periods. When revenue is deferred and
amortized over a future period, for example, when we receive fees while
mobilizing to commence a new contract or while being upgraded in a shipyard, the
related days are excluded from days under contract.

For newly-constructed or acquired rigs, the number of days in the period begins
upon commencement of drilling operations for rigs with a contract or when the
rig becomes available for drilling operations for rigs without a contract.

(2)Includes our two management services contracts and our rigs leased to ARO under bareboat charter contracts.



(3)Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling revenues,
adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable
revenues, lump-sum revenues, revenues earned during suspension periods and
revenues attributable to amortization of drilling contract intangibles, by the
aggregate number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days associated
with certain suspension periods, mobilizations and demobilizations.

Operating Income by Segment



Our business consists of four operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includes
our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups, (3) ARO and (4) Other,
which consists of management services on rigs owned by third-parties and the
activities associated with our arrangements with ARO under the Lease Agreements.
Floaters, Jackups and ARO are also reportable segments.

Our onshore support costs included within contract drilling expenses are not
allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating
income (loss) and as such, those costs are included in "Reconciling Items."
Further, General and administrative expense and Depreciation expense incurred by
our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of
measuring segment operating income (loss) and are included in "Reconciling
Items."
