As oil prices recover and long-term service contracts roll off, deflated
supply chain costs will make incremental investment more attractive
Macro Fundamentals Improving:
• Significant number of projects deferred in recent years; global oil demand
increasing; spare production capacity decreasing
2017 E&P Capital Spending Flat:
• Indications are that capital spending will be flat with 2016
• An increasing amount of spending will be dedicated to incremental
investments
Direction for next year’s E&P spending Relative share of budgets

Barclays: “Statoil recently mentioned
a deepwater breakeven of $41/bbl
with Shell guiding close to $45/bbl”
McKinsey: “Cost compression will
continue to push deepwater costs
lower…making most deepwater
projects economical at an oil price
between $50 and $60.”
Scotia Howard Weil: “While some
peers are exiting or de-emphasizing
Deepwater, RDS has an attractive suite
of assets located primarily in two low
breakeven basins (Gulf of Mexico &
Brazil). Pre-FID projects have a
breakeven of around $45/bbl with
some pre-salt Brazil trending below
$40/bbl.”
Morgan Stanley: "$60/bbl for 6
months was generally regarded as
what was necessary to get deepwater
activity to pick up.”
Investment break-even levels for deepwater have become
competitive with other options

Rowan has three company priorities to deliver shareholder value
Our customers want:
• Safe, reliable & efficient
operations
• Procedural discipline and
management of operational risk
• Solid counterparties
Our shareholders want:
• Thoughtful capital allocation to
drive strong returns
• Exposure to a driller with a
sustainable capital structure
Our employees want:
• To be part of a winning team
• Some stability in a rough market
• A company willing to develop and
challenge them
25

Rowan is taking advantage of this downturn to make a
step change in operational performance
Continuously Improving PerformanceThe way forward is a step change
• Advancing a performance program to
improve drilling efficiency
• Applying LEAN philosophy to identify &
eliminate waste in our onshore and
offshore operations
• A dedicated analytics team to harvest
data to drive performance and lower costs
Crew A Crew B Crew C Crew D
Example: Analyzing variance in performance of drilling crews in slip to slip connection time while tripping
26

We are focused on improving Rowan’s return on invested capital
The improvements we are making now will deliver results in the short and long run
Control spend and capital efficiency
• Reduce drilling expense by improving procurement effectiveness: centralize and optimize
all spend
• Strong inventory control through rigorous data analytics
• Implementing a fleet-wide state-of-the-art maintenance system for improved reliability
and to optimize maintenance spending
Much of our cost is personnel-related
• Preserve key talent through high-grading of onshore and offshore workforce; use of an
aggressive bump back strategy to preserve our talent in this downturn
• Reduce overhead costs (SG&A and a portion of drilling expense) by improving the
efficiency and cost of business support functions
Proactively address Organizational Health to counter negative aspects of the downturn
• Visible Leadership; lead from the front on cost cutting with pay cuts of executives
• Continuously assess Organizational Health; continue to develop future leaders
• Create Targeted Initiatives to improve alignment, execution, and renewal of key business
processes. Engage employees in these improvement initiatives.

(2) Rowan expects to incur full-year 2017 drilling expense of between $650 MM and $750 MM, depending upon whether certain idle rigs secure additional work.
(3) Rowan expects 2016 maintenance capital expenditures to range from $125 - $130MM and 2017 to be less than $100 MM, excluding any contractual modifications that
may arise due to securing additional work, none of which is currently planned.
