ROWAN COMPANIES PLC HOUSTON, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Rowan Companies plc ("Rowan" or the "Company") (NYSE: RDC) reported net income of $122.8 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to $123.7 million, or $0.99 per share in the first quarter of 2015.
Rowan's revenues were $500.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, down by 9% from the prior-year quarter due primarily to lower utilization of jack-up rigs. The lower jack-up utilization was partially offset by contributions from the Company's third and fourth newbuild ultra-deepwater drillships, which began operating in February and June of 2015, respectively.
Tom Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our first quarter results reflect our focus on safe and reliable operations with particular attention to careful cost control as we navigate a challenging 2016. Our offshore crews are striving to continuously improve our operational efficiency. Additionally, I'm pleased with our ability to secure some new contracts in a difficult market."

Non-GAAP Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in our earnings release and during our earnings calls we may reference company information that does not conform to GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financial results of the Company. However, these measures should not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for GAAP measures of performance, and these non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with previously published Company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Non-GAAP measures we may reference have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
