Read MoreHide Full Article

Ultra-Deepwater and Harsh Environment Floaters are likely to have driven segment-level revenue growth.
RIG's total costs are projected to rise 11% year over year, led by higher O&M and depreciation expenses.
Transocean Ltd. (RIG - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2025 earnings on Aug. 4, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at a loss of 1 cent per share on revenues of $968.1 million.
Let us delve into the factors that might have influenced RIG’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it is worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter.
Highlights of Q1 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the Switzerland-based oil and gas drilling company’s adjusted net loss of 10 cents per share was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 12 cents. Additionally, adjusted revenues of $906 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $886 million.
RIG’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed in the remaining two, delivering an average negative surprise of 242.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RIG’s second-quarter earnings has not witnessed any movement over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates 93.33% year-over-year growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates growth of 12.44% from the year-ago period’s $861 million.
Factors to Consider Ahead of RIG’s Q2 Release
Transocean makes money by providing drilling services for oil and gas companies. It rents out specialized offshore drilling rigs, equipment and workers to help these companies drill wells in the ocean. The company operates a fleet of advanced drilling units, including ones designed for deepwater and rough conditions. Transocean earns revenues by charging customers (like big energy companies and governments) for the use of its rigs and services.
RIG’s revenues are likely to have improved in the quarter to be reported, attributed to the strong performance of its segments. For instance, the Ultra-Deepwater Floaters segment is projected to experience a substantial 16.1% year-over-year expansion, reaching a total of $703.5 million. Furthermore, the Harsh Environment Floaters segment is expected to have contributed significantly, with an anticipated 5.1% year-over-year surge, amounting to $267.9 million.
On a bearish note, the increase in RIG’s costs might have dented its to-be-reported quarter’s bottom line. Going by our model, RIG’s total costs and expenses are likely to be up 11% year over year to $862.7 million in the second quarter.
Breaking this down further, Operating and Maintenance (O&M) costs are expected to see a substantial rise of 15% year over year, reaching $614.3 million. Simultaneously, depreciation and amortization expenses are also anticipated to increase 10.5% year over year, amounting to $203.3 million.
