LONDON, Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Corporation plc NE the Company))) today reported a net loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (third quarter) of $445 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, on total revenues of $276 million. The results reflect the impact of a non-cash charge totaling $596 million ($331 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, net of noncontrolling interests) relating to the impairment of the drillship Noble Bully II. Excluding the non-cash charge, the Company would have reported a net loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $114 million, or $0.46 per diluted share.
Julie J. Robertson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Noble Corporation plc, stated, "Activity in the offshore drilling market remains encouraging although we experienced the temporary impact of numerous mobilizations across the fleet. These included two drillships and a jackup, while a third drillship was completing preparations for a transfer that is now in progress. These actions were largely responsible for a decline in third quarter of total fleet operating days and revenues when compared to the previous quarter. Two of the drillships, the Noble Sam Croft and the Noble Globetrotter II, have already commenced operations in their new regions, while the jackup Noble Houston Colbert and the drillship Noble Don Taylor are expected to recommence operations by early and mid-November, respectively."
Contract drilling services revenues for the third quarter totaled $259 million compared to $275 million in the second quarter. The six percent decline was due, in part, to lower revenues in the Company's floating rig fleet, which reflected the absence of revenues received during the second quarter for the utilization of a managed pressure drilling (MPD) system on the Noble Globetrotter II. In addition, total fleet operating days declined in both the floating and jackup fleets, reflecting temporary out-of-service periods on the drillship Noble Don Taylor and the jackups Noble Houston Colbert and Noble Scott Marks. The lower fleet operating days resulted in a decline in third quarter utilization to 76 percent compared to 82 percent in the second quarter.
Contract drilling service costs in the third quarter totaled $176 million compared to $169 million in the second quarter. The four percent rise in costs was associated with the Noble Don Taylor and the Noble Houston Colbert as both units prepared for their next drilling assignments. Also, higher costs were experienced on the jackup Noble Joe Knight as the rig approached commencement of its initial contract offshore Saudi Arabia. These items were partially offset by a reduction in operations support costs.
The Company has been in discussions with Shell with respect to the drilling contract, which runs through April 2022, that Shell has with the Bully II joint venture. The discussions are at an advanced stage and contemplate that Shell would buy out the remaining term of the drilling contract with the joint venture and that Noble would acquire Shell's interests in the Bully II and the Bully I joint ventures. Following completion of the transaction, which the Company believes is likely, Noble would be free to market the Noble Bully II worldwide.
In connection with the transaction, Noble would receive a lump sum amount for its fifty percent share of the buyout of the Noble Bully II contract. The drilling contract buyout would approximate the margin afforded under the contract, and the lump sum payment would be net of a nominal amount to be paid for the two joint venture interests, with working capital and other customary adjustments for transactions of this nature. We expect to receive the payout in the fourth quarter of 2019. Noble recognized the impairment on the Noble Bully II in the third quarter as a result of the advanced stages of the discussions.
Operating Highlights
Utilization in the third quarter of the Company's 12 floating rigs was 63 percent compared to 67 percent in the second quarter. Excluding three cold-stacked units, active utilization of the floating rig fleet was 83 percent in the third quarter compared to 89 percent in the second quarter. The decline in utilization was due primarily to fewer operating days on the drillship Noble Don Taylor, which spent the quarter preparing for its relocation to Guyana where the rig is expected to commence a one-year contract by mid-November. Floating fleet revenues declined nine percent in the third quarter when compared to the second quarter. In addition to the out-of-service days on the Noble Don Taylor, the decline was also attributable to lower revenues from the Noble Globetrotter II following the completion of a drilling program during the second quarter in which the rig utilized the Company's MPD system.
During the third quarter and into October, the Company concluded or commenced the relocation of three ultra-deepwater drillships to regions where opportunities for high-specification units are expected to improve, further maximizing Noble's excellent regional positioning. Prior to the Noble Don Taylor's relocation to Guyana, the Noble Sam Croft completed a move to Suriname where a drilling assignment commenced in late September. The program offshore Suriname was recently expanded to three firm wells, extending the rig's contract into March of 2020. Also, the Noble Globetrotter II was relocated to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Following a brief shipyard program, the rig commenced operations in October, joining the Noble Globetrotter I, which relocated to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the second quarter.
At September 30, 2019, eight of the Company's nine active floating units remained under contract, with an estimated 57 percent of the available rig days over the next twelve months committed to contracts, compared to 49 percent at the beginning of 2019.
Utilization in the third quarter of the Company's 13-rig jackup fleet was 89 percent compared to 98 percent in the second quarter and reflected a six percent decline in operating days. The decline was due principally to relocation of the Noble Houston Colbert to the UK North Sea following the completion of a drilling program offshore Qatar, and to a regulatory inspection of the Noble Scott Marks. These out- of-service events were partially offset by a full quarter of operations on the Noble Johnny Whitstine. The Noble Houston Colbert is expected to commence an estimated 150-day contract in the UK North Sea by early November 2019. The Noble Scott Marks completed its regulatory program and recommenced operations in late September offshore Saudi Arabia.
Several of the Company's jackups have recently been awarded contract extensions that provide further contract coverage in 2020. These include contract extensions for the Noble Tom Prosser offshore Australia, the Noble Mick O'Brien offshore Qatar, and the Noble Hans Deul offshore the UK North Sea. Finally, the Noble Joe Knight completed a mobilization to the Middle East and commenced a three-year contract in late October offshore Saudi Arabia.
At September 30, 2019, all of the Company's 13 jackup rigs remained under contract, with an estimated 69 percent of the available jackup fleet rig days over the next twelve months committed to contracts.
Backlog, Capital and Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2019, the Company's revenue backlog totaled approximately $2.0 billion, of which an estimated $303 million is related to the contract with the Bully II joint venture for the Noble Bully II.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2019 reached $57 million, with expenditures of $204 million through the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the $54 million seller-financed portion of the Noble Joe Knight purchase price. The September 2019 year-to-date total was comprised of $56 million of sustaining capital, $139 million of major projects, rig reactivations and subsea spares, and $9 million of capitalized interest. The Company's projection for total capital expenditures in 2019, excluding the purchase of the Noble Joe Knight, remains an estimated $250 million. The Company currently expects capital expenditures in 2020 to be approximately $150 million.
The Company reported cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 of $136 million and availability under its recently amended 2017 Credit Facility of $1.1 billion, or total liquidity of approximately $1.2 billion.
Outlook
Emphasizing the importance and success of Noble's marketing initiatives, Ms. Robertson noted, "Our continuing focus on excellent fleet positioning, together with exemplary operations, have created opportunities to establish or expand our presence in regions with increasingly attractive deep and shallow water drilling programs. Following the relocation of the Noble Don Taylor, we will have four drillships in the Guyana-Suriname basin, where customer interest continues to build as significant resource potential is confirmed. Also, the recent contract awards and extensions for several of our jackups demonstrate the attractiveness of the regions we currently serve. As we observe increased project sanctioning across our industry, I believe Noble's active fleet has superb positioning as we enter 2020. In addition, the company's liquidity position remains solid as we move into an improving operating market."

NOBLE CORPORATION PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
Certain non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the Company have been provided for meaningful comparisons between current results and prior operating periods. 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 included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In order to fully assess the financial operating results, management believes that the results of operations, adjusted to exclude the following items, which are included in the Company's press release issued on October 30, 2019, and discussed in the related conference call on October 31, 2019, are appropriate measures of the continuing and normal operations of the Company:
