FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and similar words and specifically include statements regarding expected financial performance; expected utilization, day rates, revenues, operating expenses, contract term, contract backlog, capital expenditures, insurance, financing and funding; the timing of availability, delivery, mobilization, contract commencement or relocation or other movement of rigs; future rig construction (including construction in progress and completion thereof), enhancement, upgrade or repair and timing and cost thereof; the suitability of rigs for future contracts; general market, business and industry conditions, trends and outlook; future operations; the impact of increasing regulatory complexity; expected contributions from our rig fleet expansion program and our program to high-grade the rig fleet by investing in new equipment and divesting selected assets and underutilized rigs; expense management; and the likely outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or insurance or other claims and the timing thereof.

Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to vary materially from those indicated, including:
 
downtime and other risks associated with offshore rig operations or rig relocations, including rig or equipment failure, damage and other unplanned repairs, the limited availability of transport vessels, hazards, self-imposed drilling limitations and other delays due to severe storms and hurricanes and the limited availability or high cost of insurance coverage for certain offshore perils, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico or associated removal of wreckage or debris;

changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition or technology, including changes as a result of delivery of newbuild drilling rigs;

changes in future levels of drilling activity and expenditures, whether as a result of global capital markets and liquidity, prices of oil and natural gas or otherwise, which may cause us to idle or stack additional rigs;

governmental action, terrorism, piracy, military action and political and economic uncertainties, including uncertainty or instability resulting from civil unrest, political demonstrations, mass strikes, or an escalation or additional outbreak of armed hostilities or other crises in oil or natural gas producing areas of the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa or other geographic areas, which may result in expropriation, nationalization, confiscation or deprivation of our assets or result in claims of a force majeure situation;

risks inherent to shipyard rig construction, repair or enhancement, including risks associated with concentration of our construction contracts with two shipyards, unexpected delays in equipment delivery and engineering or design issues following delivery, or changes in the commencement, completion or service dates;

possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties, performance or other reasons;

the outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or other claims or contract disputes, including any inability to collect receivables or resolve significant contractual or day rate disputes, any purported renegotiation, nullification, cancellation or breach of contracts with customers or other parties and any failure to negotiate or complete definitive contracts following announcements of receipt of letters of intent;

governmental regulatory, legislative and permitting requirements affecting drilling operations, including limitations on drilling locations (such as the Gulf of Mexico during hurricane season);

1




new and future regulatory, legislative or permitting requirements, future lease sales, changes in laws, rules and regulations that have or may impose increased financial responsibility, additional oil spill abatement contingency plan capability requirements and other governmental actions that may result in claims of force majeure or otherwise adversely affect our existing drilling contracts;

our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel on commercially reasonable terms, whether due to labor regulations, unionization or otherwise;

environmental or other liabilities, risks or losses, whether related to storm or hurricane damage, losses or liabilities (including wreckage or debris removal), collisions, groundings, blowouts, fires, explosions and other accidents or terrorism or otherwise, for which insurance coverage and contractual indemnities may be insufficient, unenforceable or otherwise unavailable;

our ability to obtain additional financing and pursue other business opportunities may be limited by our debt levels and debt agreement restrictions;

our ability to realize expected benefits from the 2009 redomestication as a U.K. public limited company and the related reorganization of Ensco’s corporate structure, including the effect of any changes in laws, rules and regulations, or the interpretation thereof, or in the applicable facts, that could adversely affect our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. tax purposes or otherwise adversely affect our anticipated consolidated effective income tax rate;

delays in actual contract commencement dates;

adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including their effect on the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments; and

potential long-lived asset or goodwill impairments.

In addition to the numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions described above, you should also carefully read and consider "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, except as required by law.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ensco plc:
 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Ensco plc and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, and comprehensive income, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Ensco plc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 -Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Ensco plc and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Ensco," "our," "we" or "us") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") included in the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The financial information included in this report is unaudited but, in our opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from our 2012 audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related revenues and expenses and disclosures of gain and loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The financial data for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included herein have been subjected to a limited review by KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The accompanying independent registered public accounting firm's review report is not a report within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and the independent registered public accounting firm's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.
 
Results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2013. We recommend these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2013 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 30, 2013 and July 30, 2013.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Assets
 
Our supplemental executive retirement plans (the "SERP") are non-qualified plans that provide eligible employees an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation for use after retirement. Assets held in the SERP were marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs and were included in other assets, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value measurement of assets held in the SERP was based on quoted market prices.
 
Derivatives
 
Our derivatives were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. See "Note 3 - Derivative Instruments" for additional information on our derivatives, including a description of our foreign currency hedging activities and related methodologies used to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The fair value measurement of our derivatives was based on market prices that are generally observable for similar assets or liabilities at commonly-quoted intervals.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and debentures were determined using quoted market prices. The estimated fair values of our Maritime Administration ("MARAD") bonds were determined using an income approach valuation model. The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 3 -Derivative Instruments
    
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar ("foreign currencies"). These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. We use foreign currency forward contracts ("derivatives") to reduce our exposure to various market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange rate risk.
 
All derivatives were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements were not offset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the use of the

11



derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  Net assets of $5.6 million and $5.2 million associated with our foreign currency derivatives were included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months.  See "Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the fair value measurement of our derivatives.

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various currencies. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $373.2 million for various foreign currencies, including $158.7 million for British pounds, $125.9 million for Brazilian reais, $35.0 million for Singapore dollars, $23.0 million for Australian dollars, $21.5 million for euros and $9.1 million for other currencies.

(1)
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI.  Amounts recorded in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges are subsequently reclassified into contract drilling, depreciation or interest expense as earnings are affected by the underlying hedged forecasted transaction.

(2)
Gains and losses recognized in income for ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

(3)
Gains and losses on interest rate lock derivatives reclassified from AOCI into income (effective portion) were included in interest expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

(4) 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, $2.9 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $200,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

(5) 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, $2.5 million of losses were reclassified from AOCI into contract drilling expense and $600,000 of gains were reclassified from AOCI into depreciation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various methods to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities but do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of September 30, 2013, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $179.4 million for various foreign currencies, including $97.3 million for euros, $18.5 million for Swiss francs, $18.0 million for British pounds, $17.4 million for Australian dollars, $13.2 million for Indonesian rupiah and $15.0 million for other currencies.
     
Net gains of $7.5 million  and net losses of $1.9 million associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net gains of $2.8 million and net losses of $200,000 associated with our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were included in other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, the estimated amount of net losses associated with derivative instruments, net of tax, that would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months totaled $200,000.

Note 4 - Noncontrolling Interests

Third parties hold a noncontrolling ownership interest in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests are classified as equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share
 
We compute basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the two-class method. Net income attributable to Ensco used in our computations of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted to exclude net income allocated to non-vested shares granted to our employees and non-employee directors. Weighted-average shares outstanding used in our computation of diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and excludes non-vested shares.

Note 6 -Debt

On May 7, 2013, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Five-Year Credit Facility"), among Ensco, a subsidiary of Ensco, Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, DNB Bank ASA, as Syndication Agent, and a syndicate of banks party thereto. The Five-Year Credit Facility provides for a $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for general corporate purposes with a five-year term expiring on May 7, 2018. The Five-Year Credit Facility amends and restates our $1.45 billion credit agreement which was scheduled to mature on May 12, 2016. Advances under the Five-Year Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate (currently 0.125% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.125% per annum for LIBOR advances) depending on our credit rating. Amounts repaid may be re-borrowed during the term. We are required to pay a quarterly undrawn facility fee (currently 0.125% per annum) on the total $2.0 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating. In addition to other customary restrictive covenants, the Five-Year Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio less than or equal to 50%. We have the right, subject to lender consent, to increase the commitments under the Five-Year Credit Facility to an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 billion. We had no amounts outstanding under the Five-Year Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In connection with the amendment of our Five-Year Credit Facility, we terminated our $450 million 364-day revolving unsecured credit facility dated as of May 12, 2011.

Note 7 -Share-Based Compensation

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we granted 100,000 and 1.1 million non-vested share awards to our employees, officers and non-employee directors for annual equity awards and for equity awards granted to new or recently promoted employees, pursuant to our 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Grants of non-vested share awards generally vest at rates of 20% or 33% per year, as determined by a committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. Our non-vested share awards have dividend rights effective on the date of grant and are measured at fair value using the market value of our shares on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of non-vested share awards granted during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $57.09 and $59.70 per share, respectively.

Note 8 -Discontinued Operations
    
During the first quarter of 2013, we sold jackup rig Pride Pennsylvania for net proceeds of $15.5 million. The proceeds were included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. We recognized a loss of $1.1 million in connection with the disposal, which was included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, we classified Pride Pennsylvania as held for sale and the rig was written down to fair value less estimated cost to sell. We recognized a $3.8 million loss for assets classified as held for sale during the third quarter of 2012. Pride Pennsylvania operating results were reclassified to discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

During 2012, we sold three jackup rigs (ENSCO 59, ENSCO 61 and Pride Hawaii), one moored semisubmersible rig (ENSCO 5003) and our last remaining barge rig (ENSCO I). The rigs' operating results were reclassified to discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

ENSCO I was sold during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 for net proceeds of $4.5 million. The sale resulted in a loss of $6.5 million, which was included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. ENSCO 59 and ENSCO 61 were sold during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 for net proceeds of $54.5 million. We recognized a gain of $12.8 million in connection with these disposals which was included in loss from discontinued operations,

15



net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The proceeds from these sales were included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Note 9 -
Income Taxes
 
Our consolidated effective income tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was 16.1% and 14.1%, respectively, as compared to 11.5% in the prior year periods. Excluding the impact of discrete items, our consolidated effective income tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was 15.6% and 13.2%, respectively, as compared to 12.2% and 12.4% in the prior year periods. The increase in both periods was attributable to an increase in our estimated effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, excluding discrete items, to 13.2%, primarily due to a decline in the relative components of our earnings generated in tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Discrete tax expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the recognition of a $7.4 million liability for taxes associated with a $30.6 million reimbursement from the resolution of a dispute with the Mexican tax authority. See "Note 10 - Contingencies, Seahawk Tax Settlement" for additional information. Discrete tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was also attributable to the recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $4.9 million associated with a tax position taken in prior years. Discrete tax benefit for the prior year periods was attributable to the derecognition of liabilities upon the lapse of the statute of limitations applicable to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the impact from the resolution of prior period tax matters.
  
Note 10 -Contingencies

Seahawk Tax Settlement

During 2011, the Mexican tax authority drew on letters of credit issued by an Ensco subsidiary for the benefit of Seahawk Drilling Inc. ("Seahawk") under a credit support agreement executed in connection with the 2009 spin-off of Seahawk, thereby triggering a $43.7 million reimbursement payment from the Ensco subsidiary to the letter of credit issuer. The Ensco subsidiary disputed the tax authority's right to draw the letters of credit and, pursuant to a settlement agreement approved in Seahawk's bankruptcy case, initiated recovery efforts in Mexico to reclaim the Ensco subsidiary's funds. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we resolved Seahawk's underlying tax assessments and related controversies under an amnesty program for substantially less than the amount drawn under the credit support agreement and received a $30.6 million reimbursement from the Mexican tax authority, which was

16



included in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013.

ENSCO 74 Loss

During 2008, ENSCO 74 was lost as a result of Hurricane Ike in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  Portions of its legs remained underwater adjacent to the customer's platform, and the sunken rig hull of ENSCO 74 was located approximately 95 miles from the original drilling location when it was struck by an oil tanker during 2009.  Wreck removal operations on the sunken rig hull of ENSCO 74 were completed during 2010.
 
During 2012, we entered into an agreement with the customer pursuant to which, among other matters, the customer agreed to remove the legs. Regardless of the actual removal costs incurred by the customer, we agreed to pay $19.0 million in nine installments upon the completion of certain milestones during the removal. We have insurance coverage for the actual removal costs incurred by the customer.

We paid $14.0 million to the customer through September 30, 2013 and received $13.6 million in insurance reimbursements. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 included a $5.0 million liability for remaining installments due to the customer in accrued liabilities and other and a $5.4 million receivable for recovery of related costs under our insurance policy in other assets, net.

We filed a petition for exoneration or limitation of liability under U.S. admiralty and maritime law during 2009. A number of claimants presented claims in the exoneration/limitation proceedings. Currently, only three claimants remain. 

The owner of the oil tanker that struck the hull of ENSCO 74 filed claims seeking monetary damages currently in excess of $5.0 million for losses incurred when the tanker struck the sunken hull of ENSCO 74. The owner of a pipeline filed claims alleging that ENSCO 74 caused the pipeline to rupture during Hurricane Ike and sought damages for the cost of repairs and business interruption in an amount in excess of $26.0 million. These matters are currently scheduled for trial in April 2014. Based on information currently available, primarily the adequacy of available defenses, we have not concluded that it is probable liabilities exist with respect to these matters.
 
We have liability insurance policies that provide coverage for claims such as the tanker and pipeline claims as well as removal of wreckage and debris in excess of the property insurance policy sublimit, subject to a $10.0 million per occurrence self-insured retention for third-party claims and an annual aggregate limit of $500.0 million. We believe all liabilities associated with the ENSCO 74 loss during Hurricane Ike resulted from a single occurrence under the terms of the applicable insurance policies. However, legal counsel for certain liability underwriters have asserted that the liability claims arise from separate occurrences. In the event of multiple occurrences, the self-insured retention is $15.0 million for two occurrences and $1.0 million for each occurrence thereafter.

Although we do not expect final disposition of the claims associated with the ENSCO 74 loss to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome.

Asbestos Litigation

We and certain subsidiaries have been named as defendants, along with numerous third-party companies as co-defendants, in multi-party lawsuits filed in Mississippi and Louisiana by approximately 100 plaintiffs. The lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of individuals alleging personal injury or death, primarily under the Jones Act, purportedly resulting from exposure to asbestos on drilling rigs and associated facilities during the 1960s through the 1980s.

We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and have filed responsive pleadings preserving all defenses and challenges to jurisdiction and venue. However, discovery is still ongoing and, therefore, available information

17



regarding the nature of all pending claims is limited. At present, we cannot reasonably determine how many of the claimants may have valid claims under the Jones Act or estimate a range of potential liability exposure, if any.
 
In addition to the pending cases in Mississippi and Louisiana, we have other asbestos or lung injury claims pending against us in litigation in other jurisdictions. Although we do not expect final disposition of these asbestos or lung injury lawsuits to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits.

   Other Matters

In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business with customers and others, we have entered into letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding as of September 30, 2013 totaled $234.0 million and are issued under facilities provided by various banks and other financial institutions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of September 30, 2013, we had not been required to make collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

Note 11 -Segment Information
 
Our business consists of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includes our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which currently consists of management services on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups, provide one service, contract drilling.
    
Segment information is presented below (in millions). 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 and were included in "Reconciling Items." We measure segment assets as property and equipment. Prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The liquidity of OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações S.A. ("OGX") deteriorated during the third quarter of 2013, and on October 1, 2013, OGX defaulted on an interest payment due to bondholders. We did not recognize revenue for drilling services provided to the customer during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 as we concluded collectibility of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, we recognized an $11.0 million provision for doubtful accounts during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 for receivables related to drilling services provided in prior quarters. Our net receivable with the customer totaled $3.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and was included in accounts receivable, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Concentration of Risk

We are exposed to credit risk relating to our receivables from customers, our cash and cash equivalents and our use of derivatives in connection with the management of foreign currency exchange rate risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to receivables from customers, which consist primarily of major international, government-owned and independent oil and gas companies, by performing ongoing credit evaluations. We also maintain reserves for potential credit losses, which generally have been within management's expectations. We mitigate our credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by focusing on diversification and quality of instruments. Cash equivalents consist of a portfolio of high-grade instruments. Custody of cash and cash equivalents is maintained at several well-capitalized financial institutions, and we monitor the financial condition of those financial institutions.  

We mitigate our credit risk relating to counterparties of our derivatives through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with almost all of our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events, or set-off provisions, in addition to a master netting agreement.  Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events. 

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, Petrobras accounted for $207.7 million and $623.3 million, or 16% and 17%, of our consolidated revenues, respectively, which were attributable to our Floaters segment.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, revenues provided by our drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico totaled $447.2 million, or 35%, of our consolidated revenues, of which 76% were provided by our Floaters segment. Revenues provided by our drilling operations in Brazil during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 totaled $236.5 million, or 19%, of our consolidated revenues, all of which were provided by our Floaters segment.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, revenues provided by our drilling operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico totaled $1.3 billion, or 35%, of our consolidated revenues, of which 76% were provided by our Floaters segment. Revenues provided by our drilling operations in Brazil during the nine-month period ended

September 30, 2013 totaled $748.2 million, or 20%, of our consolidated revenues, all of which were provided by our Floaters segment. 

Note 13 -Guarantee of Registered Securities

On May 31, 2011, Ensco plc completed a merger transaction (the "Merger") with Pride International Inc. ("Pride"). In connection with the Merger, Ensco plc and Pride entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture dated as of July 1, 2004 between Pride and the Bank of New York Mellon, as indenture trustee, providing for, among other matters, the full and unconditional guarantee by Ensco plc of Pride’s 8.5% unsecured senior notes due 2019, 6.875% unsecured senior notes due 2020 and 7.875% unsecured senior notes due 2040, which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2013. The Ensco plc guarantee provides for the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the prompt payment, when due, of any amount owed to the holders of the notes.
 
Ensco plc is also a full and unconditional guarantor of the 7.2% debentures due 2027 issued by ENSCO International Incorporated during 1997, which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $150.0 million as of September 30, 2013.
    
All guarantees are unsecured obligations of Ensco plc ranking equal in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
   
The following tables present the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 (unaudited) and December 31, 2012; and the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
    
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included elsewhere herein and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ensco owns the world's second largest offshore drilling rig fleet amongst competitive rigs. We have assembled the newest ultra-deepwater fleet and largest active premium jackup fleet of any offshore drilling company. We currently own and operate an offshore drilling rig fleet of 75 rigs, including six rigs under construction. Our fleet includes ten drillships, 19 semisubmersible rigs and 46 independent leg jackups.

Average Brent crude oil prices exceeded $110 per barrel during the third quarter of 2013, and we believe current prices support drilling programs by operators in the floater and jackup markets. In response to strong demand, we entered into agreements to construct an additional premium jackup (ENSCO 110) and our eighth ultra-deepwater drillship (ENSCO DS-10) during the second quarter of 2013. ENSCO 110 is scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2015 and ENSCO DS-10 is scheduled for delivery during the third quarter of 2015. We currently have six rigs under construction, including three ultra-deepwater drillships, two ultra-premium harsh environment jackup rigs and one premium jackup rig, as part of our ongoing strategy to expand and high-grade our fleet.

A substantial portion of our projected cash flow will continue to be invested in the expansion and enhancement of our fleet of drilling rigs. We will also continue to return cash flow to shareholders through our quarterly cash dividend. We believe our strong balance sheet, $11.2 billion of contract backlog and borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility will provide flexibility to make additional investments in our fleet and sustain an adequate level of liquidity during the remainder of 2013 and beyond.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
 
Floaters

The floater market remains strong, and demand growth that started in late 2010 is expected to continue into 2014. We believe the most robust demand growth will be for ultra-deepwater floaters.

New discoveries continue to be announced in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico resulting in additional demand for rigs to perform appraisal and development work. The U.S. Gulf of Mexico market is expected to remain active through 2014 as multiple operators begin new drilling programs.
In West Africa, multiple newbuild drillships are expected to enter the region during the remainder of 2013 and first half of 2014; however, these rigs are expected to be absorbed by incremental demand in the market. We believe demand in the region will support current utilization levels and day rates through the remainder of 2013 and into 2014.
In Brazil, operators have begun discussing new drilling programs for blocks awarded during the National Petroleum Agency's May 2013 licensing round. An additional licensing round was held in October 2013. We believe these lease sales will result in incremental demand in Brazil as customers come to the market for rigs to drill their new exploration acreage. Additionally, Petrobras resumed contract extension negotiations with drilling contractors for multiple rigs with contracts expiring in 2015.
We expect the Asia Pacific market to remain strong with incremental requirements in Indonesia and Myanmar. The Mediterranean market is also expected to present additional drilling opportunities.

Worldwide rig supply in the floater market continues to increase as a result of newbuild construction programs. It has been reported that over 100 newbuild drillships and semisubmersible rigs are currently under construction, 32 of which are scheduled for delivery before the end of 2014. We expect these newbuild floaters to be absorbed into the market as they are delivered; however, utilization and dayrates for existing floaters may be negatively impacted.
 
Jackups

The jackup market remained tight during the third quarter of 2013, putting upward pressure on day rates and leading to longer contractual terms. Utilization for the worldwide jackup fleet continued to be strong.
Demand is robust in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and operators continue to contract rigs for longer terms and higher day rates. We expect the U.S. Gulf of Mexico market to remain tight during the remainder of 2013 and into 2014 given limited rig supply. In Mexico, Petróleos Mexicanos ("PEMEX") recently contracted two rigs for seven-year terms. We believe there will be incremental demand in Mexico as PEMEX is expected to contract up to ten additional jackups.
The Asia Pacific market continues to be strong and there were a number of new tenders issued during the third quarter of 2013. The Asia Pacific market is expected to remain in balance through the end of 2014, inclusive of newbuild deliveries. Additional drilling opportunities are expected in Myanmar and Malaysia.
In the Middle East, multiple long-term contracts were announced during the third quarter of 2013. Saudi Aramco is expected to maintain its existing contracted fleet, which should support current utilization levels and day rates. The Middle East market is expected to remain strong, and we believe there will be incremental demand in the region for up to eight rigs.
The North Sea market is tight with limited rig availability through the beginning of 2015. Robust demand in the region is putting upward pressure on dayrates, and operators are currently issuing tenders to secure rigs for work beginning in 2015 and beyond.
Worldwide rig supply in the jackup market continues to increase as a result of newbuild construction programs. It has been reported that over 100 newbuild jackup rigs are under construction, 47 of which are scheduled for delivery before the end of 2014. Although we expect these newbuild jackup rigs to be absorbed into the market, utilization and dayrates in certain regions may come under pressure in the near to intermediate term depending upon the rate at which rigs nearing the end of their economic lives are retired.

Revenues and operating income increased $142.7 million, or 13%, and $22.7 million, or 5%, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, revenues and operating income increased $449.0 million, or 14%, and $127.5 million, or 11%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues and operating income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to the addition of newbuild rigs to our Floaters segment and an increase in average day rates across our fleet. The increase was partially offset by a decline in utilization for our Floater fleet. The increase in operating income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was also partially offset by an increase in personnel costs and, to a lesser extent, the favorable settlement of third-party claims during the prior year. See below for additional information on our results by segment.

The liquidity of OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações S.A. ("OGX") deteriorated during the third quarter of 2013, and on October 1, 2013, OGX defaulted on an interest payment due to bondholders. We did not recognize revenue for drilling services provided to the customer during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 as we concluded collectibility of these amounts was not reasonably assured. Additionally, we recognized an $11.0 million provision for doubtful accounts during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 for receivables related to drilling services provided in prior quarters. Our net receivable with the customer totaled $3.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and was included in accounts receivable, net, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our contractual backlog as of September 30, 2013 does not include the remaining OGX contractual obligations. Although we are pursuing collection of all OGX contractual obligations under the respective drilling contracts, there can be no assurances relative to a recovery.
 
A significant number of our drilling contracts are of a long-term nature. Accordingly, an increase or decline in demand for contract drilling services generally affects our operating results and cash flows gradually over future quarters as long-term contracts expire and new contracts and/or options are priced at current market rates.

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 compensated downtime and mobilizations. When revenue is earned but is deferred and amortized over a future period, for example when a rig earns revenue 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) 
Average day rates are derived by dividing contract drilling revenues, adjusted to exclude certain types of non-recurring reimbursable revenues, lump sum revenues and revenues attributable to amortization of drilling

39



contract intangibles, by the aggregate number of contract days, adjusted to exclude contract days associated with certain mobilizations, demobilizations, shipyard contracts and standby contracts. 

Detailed explanations of our operating results, including discussions of revenues, contract drilling expense and depreciation expense by segment, are provided below.

Operating Income
 
Our business consists of three operating segments: (1) Floaters, which includes our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, (2) Jackups and (3) Other, which currently consists of management services on rigs owned by third-parties. Our two reportable segments, Floaters and Jackups, provide one service, contract drilling.
Segment information is presented below (in millions).  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 and were included in "Reconciling Items." Prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Floaters

Floater revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $64.9 million, or 9%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to commencement of ENSCO 8506 and ENSCO DS-6 drilling operations during the first quarter of 2013 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average day rates for various rigs in our Floater fleet. These increases were partially offset by a decline in utilization primarily due to ENSCO DS-2, which was undergoing an inspection during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, and ENSCO 5005, which was in the shipyard for a capital enhancement project during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. Drilling services provided to OGX that were not recognized as revenue also adversely impacted utilization during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Floater contract drilling expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $88.4 million, or 29%, as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the aforementioned additions to our fleet, increased personnel costs and an $11.0 million provision for doubtful accounts related to receivables for drilling services provided to OGX in prior periods. These increases were partially offset by lower contract drilling expense for ENSCO 5005. The prior year quarter also included the favorable settlement of third-party claims which reduced contract drilling expense by $30.6 million. Depreciation expense increased by $11.8 million, or 12%, primarily due to the additions to our Floater fleet.

Floater revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $295.0 million, or 14%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily due to commencement of ENSCO 8506 and ENSCO DS-6 drilling operations during the first quarter of 2013 and commencement of ENSCO 8505 drilling operations during the second quarter of 2012. To a lesser extent, the increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in average day rates for various rigs in our Floater fleet. These increases were partially offset by a decline in utilization primarily due to ENSCO 5005, which was in the shipyard for a capital enhancement project during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, and downtime prompted by a vendor notice regarding inspection and replacement of connector bolts on various rigs during the first quarter of 2013.


41



Floater contract drilling expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $204.2 million, or 22%, as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the aforementioned additions to our fleet and increased personnel costs. These increases were partially offset by lower contract drilling expense for ENSCO 5005. The prior year period also included the favorable settlement of third-party claims which reduced contract drilling expense by $52.8 million. Depreciation expense increased by $45.8 million, or 16%, primarily due to the additions to our Floater fleet.

Jackups

Jackup revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $78.8 million, or 21%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in average day rates, mostly attributable to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Southeast Asia. The increase in revenues was also attributable to an increase in utilization due to a decline in shipyard days as compared to the prior year quarter.
Jackup revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $157.3 million, or 14%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in average day rates, mostly attributable to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Southeast Asia. The increase in average day rates was partially offset by a decline in utilization due to an increase in shipyard days as compared to the prior year period.
Jackup contract drilling expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 increased $22.8 million, or 12%, and $78.2 million, or 14%, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily due to increased personnel costs.

Interest income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 declined as compared to the respective prior year periods primarily due to declining outstanding principal amounts due from customers for reimbursement of mobilization and upgrade costs on certain long-term drilling contracts. Interest expense was comparable over the same periods as the outstanding principal balances associated with our long-term debt instruments remained consistent with the prior year periods. Interest expense capitalized during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 declined as compared to the prior year periods due to a decline in the average outstanding amount of capital invested in newbuild construction. ENSCO 8505 was placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2012 and ENSCO 8506 and ENSCO DS-6 were placed into service during the first quarter of 2013.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we received a $30.6 million reimbursement from the Mexican tax authority with respect to the tax authority's draw on letters of credit issued by an Ensco subsidiary for the benefit of Seahawk under a credit support agreement executed in connection with the 2009 spin-off of Seahawk. The reimbursement was included in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month

42



and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the reimbursement from the Mexican tax authority.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar ("foreign currencies"). These transactions are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on a combination of both current and historical exchange rates. Net foreign currency exchange gains of $2.2 million and $7.0 million were included in other, net, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The $7.0 million net foreign currency exchange gains for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 were primarily attributable to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
Ensco plc, our parent company, is domiciled and resident in the U.K. Our subsidiaries conduct operations and earn income in numerous countries and are subject to the laws of taxing jurisdictions within those countries. The income of our non-U.K. subsidiaries is not subject to U.K. taxation. Income tax rates imposed in the tax jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries conduct operations vary, as does the tax base to which the rates are applied. In some cases, tax rates may be applicable to gross revenues, statutory or negotiated deemed profits or other bases utilized under local tax laws, rather than to net income. Our drilling rigs frequently move from one taxing jurisdiction to another to perform contract drilling services. In some instances, the movement of drilling rigs among taxing jurisdictions will involve the transfer of ownership of the drilling rigs among our subsidiaries. As a result of frequent changes in the taxing jurisdictions in which our drilling rigs are operated and/or owned, changes in the overall level of our income and changes in tax laws, our consolidated effective income tax rate may vary substantially from one reporting period to another.
Income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $26.4 million as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in our consolidated effective income tax rate, excluding discrete tax items, to 15.6%, as compared to 12.2% in the prior year quarter. The increase in our consolidated effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was attributable to an increase in our estimated effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013, excluding discrete items, to 13.2%, primarily due to a decline in the relative components of our earnings generated in tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

The increase in income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was also attributable to the impact of various discrete tax items recognized during the current and prior year quarters. Discrete tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the recognition of a $7.4 million liability for taxes associated with a $30.6 million reimbursement from the resolution of a dispute with the Mexican tax authority. Discrete tax benefit for the prior year quarter of $4.0 million was attributable to the derecognition of liabilities upon the lapse of the statute of limitations applicable to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the impact from the resolution of prior period tax matters.
Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $47.3 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the impact of various discrete tax items recognized during the current and prior year periods. Discrete tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 of $15.5 million was primarily attributable to the recognition of a $7.4 million liability for taxes associated with a $30.6 million reimbursement from the resolution of a dispute with the Mexican tax authority and the recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $4.9 million associated with a tax position taken in prior years. Discrete tax benefit for the prior year period of $9.0 million was attributable to the derecognition of liabilities upon the lapse of the statute of limitations applicable to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the impact from the resolution of prior period tax matters.

The increase in income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was also due to an increase in profitability and an increase in our consolidated effective income tax rate, excluding discrete tax items, to 13.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 12.4% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a decline in the relative components of our earnings generated in tax jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2013, we sold jackup rig Pride Pennsylvania for net proceeds of $15.5 million and recognized a loss of $1.1 million in connection with the disposal. During the third quarter of 2012, we classified Pride Pennsylvania as held for sale and the rig was written down to fair value less estimated cost to sell. We recognized a $3.8 million loss for assets classified as held for sale during the third quarter of 2012. Pride Pennsylvania operating results were reclassified to discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

During 2012, we sold three jackup rigs (ENSCO 59, ENSCO 61 and Pride Hawaii), one moored semisubmersible rig (ENSCO 5003) and our last remaining barge rig (ENSCO I). The rigs' operating results were reclassified to discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

ENSCO I was sold during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 for net proceeds of $4.5 million, and we recognized a loss of $6.5 million in connection with the disposal. ENSCO 59 and ENSCO 61 were sold during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 for net proceeds of $54.5 million. We recognized a gain of $12.8 million in connection with these disposals.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Although our business is cyclical, we have historically relied on our cash flow from continuing operations to meet liquidity needs and fund the majority of our cash requirements. We have maintained a strong financial position through the disciplined and conservative use of debt, which has provided us the ability to achieve future growth potential through acquisitions and newbuild rig construction. A substantial portion of our cash flow has been invested in the expansion and enhancement of our fleet of drilling rigs, through newbuild construction and upgrade projects, and the return of capital to shareholders through dividend payments. We expect that our current cash and cash equivalents and future operating cash flows will continue to be dedicated to newbuild construction, upgrade projects and the return of capital to shareholders in the near-term.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, our primary source of cash was $1.4 billion generated from operating activities of continuing operations and $50.0 million in proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments. Our primary use of cash for the same period was $1.3 billion for the construction, enhancement and other improvement of our drilling rigs and $350.2 million for dividend payments.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, our primary source of cash was $1.6 billion generated from operating activities of continuing operations, $66.7 million from reimbursement of equity issuance costs and $59.0 million in proceeds from the sale of two jackup rigs and our last remaining barge rig. Our primary use of cash for the same period was $1.6 billion for the construction, enhancement and other improvement of our drilling rigs, $260.9 million for dividend payments and $155.9 million for debt payments.

Cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations declined $164.2 million, or 10%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year period. The decline primarily resulted from a $375.6 million increase in cash payments related to contract drilling expenses, a $75.4 million increase in cash payments for income taxes and a $45.3 million increase in cash payments related to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $324.1 million increase in cash receipts from contract drilling services.

Cash payments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 related to contract drilling and general and administrative expenses were generally higher than the comparable prior year period due in part to the full year impact of the Pride acquisition on certain annual payments made during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. Annual payments made during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 were based on seven months of acquired company operating activity.

Cash receipts from contract drilling services associated with customer reimbursed capital upgrades and mobilizations which are amortized to revenue over the term of the related contract totaled $220.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $70.0 million during the current year period.

We remain focused on our long-established strategy of high-grading and expanding the size of our fleet. During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into agreements to construct our eighth ultra-deepwater drillship (ENSCO DS-10) for estimated total construction costs of approximately $625.0 million, inclusive of costs associated with commissioning, systems integration testing, project management and tubulars, and a new premium jackup rig (ENSCO 110) for estimated total construction costs of approximately $225.0 million, inclusive of costs associated with commissioning, systems integration testing and project management.

We currently have three ultra-deepwater drillships (ENSCO DS-8, ENSCO DS-9 and ENSCO DS-10) under construction with scheduled delivery dates during the third quarter of 2014, fourth quarter of 2014 and third quarter of 2015, respectively. These rigs are currently uncontracted.

We also have two ultra-high specification harsh environment jackup rigs (ENSCO 121 and ENSCO 122) and one premium jackup rig (ENSCO 110) under construction. These rigs are scheduled for delivery during the fourth quarter of 2013, the third quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, respectively. ENSCO 121 is committed under a long-term drilling contract in the North Sea and is expected to commence drilling operations during the second quarter of 2014. ENSCO 122 and ENSCO 110 are currently uncontracted.

We have significant contractual commitments related to our newbuild construction agreements. We expect to fund these commitments from our cash and cash equivalents, future operating cash flows, and if necessary, funds borrowed under our commercial paper program, revolving credit facility or other future financing arrangements.  The actual timing of our contractual construction payments may vary based on the completion of various construction milestones, which, to a large extent, are beyond our control.

(2) 
Total commitments are based on fixed-price shipyard construction contracts, exclusive of costs associated with commissioning, systems integration testing, project management and capitalized interest.

Based on our current projections, we expect capital expenditures during 2013 to include approximately $1.3 billion for newbuild construction, approximately $300 million for rig enhancement projects and approximately $250 million for minor upgrades and improvements. Depending on market conditions and future opportunities, we may make additional capital expenditures to upgrade rigs for customer requirements and construct or acquire additional rigs.

 Senior Notes and Debentures

As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 3.25% senior notes due 2016, $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 8.5% senior notes due 2019, $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 6.875% senior notes due 2020, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.7% senior notes due 2021 and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.875% senior notes due 2040. As of September 30, 2013, we also had outstanding $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.2% debentures due 2027. We make semiannual interest payments on each of the aforementioned notes and debentures.

Commercial Paper
 
We participate in a commercial paper program with four commercial paper dealers pursuant to which we may issue, on a private placement basis, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.0 billion. Amounts issued under the commercial paper program are supported by the available and unused committed capacity under our Five-Year Credit Facility. As a result, amounts issued under the commercial

46



paper program will be limited by the amount of our available and unused committed capacity under our Five-Year Credit Facility. The proceeds of such financings will be used for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The commercial paper will bear interest at rates that vary based on market conditions and the ratings assigned by credit rating agencies at the time of issuance. The commercial paper maturities will vary but may not exceed 364 days from the date of issuance. The commercial paper is not redeemable or subject to voluntary prepayment by us prior to maturity. We had no amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Revolving Credit

On May 7, 2013, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Five-Year Credit Facility"), among Ensco, a subsidiary of Ensco, Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, DNB Bank ASA, as Syndication Agent, and a syndicate of banks party thereto. The Five-Year Credit Facility provides for a $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for general corporate purposes with a five-year term expiring on May 7, 2018. The Five-Year Credit Facility amends and restates our $1.45 billion credit agreement which was scheduled to mature on May 12, 2016. Advances under the Five-Year Credit Facility bear interest at Base Rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin rate (currently 0.125% per annum for Base Rate advances and 1.125% per annum for LIBOR advances) depending on our credit rating. Amounts repaid may be re-borrowed during the term. We are required to pay a quarterly undrawn facility fee (currently 0.125% per annum) on the total $2.0 billion commitment, which is also based on our credit rating. In addition to other customary restrictive covenants, the Five-Year Credit Facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio less than or equal to 50%. We have the right, subject to lender consent, to increase the commitments under the Five-Year Credit Facility to an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 billion. We had no amounts outstanding under the Five-Year Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In connection with the amendment of our Five-Year Credit Facility, we terminated our $450 million 364-day revolving unsecured credit facility dated as of May 12, 2011.
    
Other Financing

As of September 30, 2013, we had an aggregate $153.2 million outstanding under our Maritime Administration bond issues due in 2015, 2016 and 2020, respectively. We make semiannual principal and interest payments on these bonds.

We filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 13, 2012, which provides us the ability to issue debt securities, equity securities, guarantees and/or units of securities in one or more offerings. The registration statement, as amended, expires in January 2015.

During the second quarter of 2013, our shareholders approved a new share repurchase program. Subject to certain provisions under English law, including the requirement of Ensco plc to have sufficient distributable reserves, we may purchase up to a maximum of $2.0 billion in the aggregate under the program, but in no case more than 35.0 million shares. The program terminates in May 2018.

Other Commitments

We were contingently liable as of September 30, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $234.0 million under outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds which guarantee our performance as it relates to our drilling contracts, contract bidding, customs duties, tax appeals and other obligations in various jurisdictions. Obligations under these letters of credit and surety bonds are not normally called, as we typically comply with the underlying performance requirement. As of September 30, 2013, we had not been required to make any collateral deposits with respect to these agreements.

We may decide to access debt and/or equity markets to raise additional capital or increase liquidity as necessary.
 
Effects of Climate Change and Climate Change Regulation
 
Greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions have increasingly become the subject of international, national, regional, state and local attention. During 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") officially published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other GHGs present an endangerment to human health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to warming of the earth's atmosphere and other climatic changes. These EPA findings allowed the agency to proceed with the adoption and implementation of regulations to restrict GHG emissions under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act that establish Prevention of Significant Deterioration ("PSD") construction and Title V operating permit reviews for certain large stationary sources that are potential major sources of GHG emissions. Facilities required to obtain PSD permits for their GHG emissions also will be required to meet "best available control technology" standards to be established by the states or, in some cases, the EPA, on a case-by-case basis. The EPA has also adopted rules requiring annual monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from specified sources in the United States, including, among others, certain onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production facilities.

In recent years, cap and trade initiatives to limit GHG emissions have been introduced in the European Union. Similarly, a number of bills related to climate change have been introduced in the U.S. Congress. If these or similar bills were to be adopted, such legislation could adversely impact many industries. However, it appears unlikely that comprehensive federal climate legislation will be passed by Congress in the foreseeable future. In the absence of federal legislation, almost half of the states have begun to address GHG emissions, primarily through the development or planned development of emission inventories or regional GHG cap and trade programs. Future regulation of GHG emissions could occur pursuant to future treaty obligations, statutory or regulatory changes or new climate change legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate. If Congress undertakes comprehensive tax reform in the coming year, it is possible that such reform may include a carbon tax, which could impose additional direct costs on operations and reduce demand for refined products. Depending on the particular program, we, or our customers, could be required to control GHG emissions or to purchase and surrender allowances for GHG emissions resulting from our operations. It is uncertain whether any of these initiatives will be implemented. If such initiatives are implemented, we do not believe that such initiatives would have a direct, material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results or cash flows in a manner different than our competitors.

Restrictions on GHG emissions or other related legislative or regulatory enactments could have an indirect effect in those industries that use significant amounts of petroleum products, which could potentially result in a reduction in demand for petroleum products and, consequently, our offshore contract drilling services. We are currently unable

48



to predict the manner or extent of any such effect. Furthermore, one of the long-term physical effects of climate change may be an increase in the severity and frequency of adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes, which may increase our insurance costs or risk retention, limit insurance availability or reduce the areas in which, or the number of days during which, our customers would contract for our drilling rigs in general and in the Gulf of Mexico in particular. We are currently unable to predict the manner or extent of any such effect.

MARKET RISK
 
We use derivatives to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of the revenues earned and expenses incurred by certain of our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We maintain a foreign currency exchange rate risk management strategy that utilizes derivatives to reduce our exposure to unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  

We utilize cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk on future expected contract drilling expenses and capital expenditures denominated in various foreign currencies. We predominantly structure our drilling contracts in U.S. dollars, which significantly reduces the portion of our cash flows and assets denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash flow hedges outstanding to exchange an aggregate $373.2 million for various foreign currencies.
We have net assets and liabilities denominated in numerous foreign currencies and use various strategies to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We occasionally enter into derivatives that hedge the fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities, thereby reducing exposure to earnings fluctuations caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not designate such derivatives as hedging instruments. In these situations, a natural hedging relationship generally exists whereby changes in the fair value of the derivatives offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As of September 30, 2013, we held derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to exchange an aggregate $179.4 million for various foreign currencies.
If we were to incur a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, net unrealized losses associated with our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 would approximate $18.9 million. Approximately $15.2 million of these unrealized losses would be offset by corresponding gains on the derivatives utilized to offset changes in the fair value of net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
We utilize derivatives and undertake foreign currency exchange rate hedging activities in accordance with our established policies for the management of market risk. We mitigate our credit risk relating to counterparties of our derivatives through a variety of techniques, including transacting with multiple, high-quality financial institutions, thereby limiting our exposure to individual counterparties and by entering into ISDA Master Agreements, which include provisions for a legally enforceable master netting agreement, with almost all of our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA agreements may also include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events, or set-off provisions, in addition to a master netting agreement. Legally enforceable master netting agreements reduce credit risk by providing protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and generally permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.

We do not enter into derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. We believe that our use of derivatives and related hedging activities reduces our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and does not expose us to material credit risk or any other material market risk. All of our derivatives mature during the next 18 months. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our derivative instruments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2013. These policies, along with our underlying judgments and assumptions made in their application, have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We identify our critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of our financial position and operating results and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates in matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are those related to property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and income taxes. For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to the judgments, assumptions or policies upon which our critical accounting estimates are based.

Information required under Item 3. has been incorporated into "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Risk."

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are effective.
   
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
Pride FCPA Investigation

During 2010, Pride and its subsidiaries resolved their previously disclosed investigations into potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") with the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The settlement with the DOJ included a deferred prosecution agreement (the "DPA") between Pride and the DOJ and a guilty plea by Pride Forasol, S.A.S., one of Pride’s subsidiaries, to FCPA-related charges. In November 2012, the DOJ moved (i) to dismiss the charges against Pride and end the DPA one year prior to its scheduled expiration; and (ii) to terminate the unsupervised probation of Pride Forasol, S.A.S. The Court granted the motions.

     Pride has received preliminary inquiries from governmental authorities of certain countries referenced in its settlements with the DOJ and SEC. We could face additional fines, sanctions and other penalties from authorities in these and other relevant jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in or curtailment of business operations in those jurisdictions and the seizure of rigs or other assets. At this early stage of such inquiries, we are unable to determine what, if any, legal liability may result. Our customers in those jurisdictions could seek to impose penalties or take other actions adverse to our business. We could also face other third-party claims by directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents, stockholders, debt holders, or other interest holders or constituents of our Company. In addition, disclosure of the subject matter of the investigations and settlements could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to obtain new business or retain existing business from our current clients and potential clients, to attract and retain employees and to access the capital markets.

We cannot currently predict what, if any, actions may be taken by any other applicable government or other authorities or our customers or other third parties or the effect any such actions may have on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Asbestos Litigation
 
We and certain subsidiaries have been named as defendants, along with numerous third-party companies as co-defendants, in multi-party lawsuits filed in Mississippi and Louisiana by approximately 100 plaintiffs. The lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of individuals alleging personal injury or death, primarily under the Jones Act, purportedly resulting from exposure to asbestos on drilling rigs and associated facilities during the 1960s through the 1980s.

We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and have filed responsive pleadings preserving all defenses and challenges to jurisdiction and venue. However, discovery is still ongoing and, therefore, available information regarding the nature of all pending claims is limited. At present, we cannot reasonably determine how many of the claimants may have valid claims under the Jones Act or estimate a range of potential liability exposure, if any.
 
In addition to the pending cases in Mississippi and Louisiana, we have other asbestos or lung injury claims pending against us in litigation in other jurisdictions. Although we do not expect the final disposition of these asbestos or lung injury lawsuits to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits.

Environmental Matters

We are currently subject to pending notices of assessment relating to spills of drilling fluids, oil, chemicals, grease or fuel from drilling rigs operating offshore Brazil from 2008 to 2013, pursuant to which the governmental authorities have assessed, or are anticipated to assess, fines in an aggregate amount of approximately $250,000. We have contested these notices and appealed certain adverse decisions and are awaiting decisions in these cases. Although we do not expect final disposition of these assessments to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these assessments. A liability related to these matters was included in accrued liabilities and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013.

We currently are subject to a pending administrative proceeding initiated during 2009 by a Spanish government authority seeking payment in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.0 million for an alleged environmental spill originating from ENSCO 5006 while it was operating offshore Spain. Our customer has posted guarantees with the Spanish government to cover potential penalties. Additionally, we expect to be indemnified for any payments resulting from this incident by our customer under the terms of the drilling contract. A criminal investigation of the incident was initiated during 2010 by a prosecutor in Tarragona, Spain, and the administrative proceedings have been suspended pending the outcome of this investigation. We do not know at this time what, if any, involvement we may have in this investigation.
 
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the administrative proceeding and any criminal investigation. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the extent to which we may be exposed to any resulting liability. Although we do not expect final disposition of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the proceedings.

Other Matters

In addition to the foregoing, we are named defendants or parties in certain other lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.


Item 1A.   Risk Factors 

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully read and consider "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which contains descriptions of significant risks that might cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently anticipated or expected.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, equity securities were repurchased from employees and non-employee directors by an affiliated employee benefit trust in connection with the settlement of income tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of share awards.  Such securities remain available for re-issuance in connection with employee share awards.

(2) 
During the second quarter of 2013, our shareholders approved a new share repurchase program. Subject to certain provisions under English law, including the requirement of Ensco plc to have sufficient distributable reserves, we may purchase up to a maximum of $2.0 billion in the aggregate under the program, but in no case more than 35.0 million shares. The program terminates in May 2018.
