    (1)  Utilization is defined as the total number of days our rigs or
         liftboats, as applicable, were under contract, known as operating
         days, in the period as a percentage of the total number of available
         days in the period.  Days during which our rigs and liftboats were
         undergoing major refurbishments, upgrades or construction are not
         counted as available days.  Days during which our liftboats are in
         the shipyard undergoing drydocking or inspection are considered
         available days for the purposes of calculating utilization.
    (2)  Average revenue per rig or liftboat per day is defined as revenue
         earned by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period
         divided by the total number of operating days for our rigs or
         liftboats, as applicable, in the period.  Included in Domestic
         Contract Drilling Services revenue is a total of US$0.1 million
         related to amortization of contract specific capital expenditures
         reimbursed by the customer for the three and six months ended June
         30, 2007, respectively. There was no such revenue in the three and
         six months ended June 30, 2006.  Included in International Contract
         Drilling Services revenue is a total of US$0.7 million and US$2.5
         million related to amortization of deferred mobilization revenue and
         contract specific capital expenditures reimbursed by the customer
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and
         US$0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30,
         2006.  
    (3)  Average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day is defined as
         operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization,
         incurred by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period
         divided by the total number of available days in the period.  We use
         available days to calculate average operating expense per rig or
         liftboat per day rather than operating days, which are used to
         calculate average revenue per rig or liftboat per day, because we
         incur operating expenses on our rigs and liftboats even when they
         are not under contract and earning a dayrate.  In addition, the
         operating expenses we incur on our rigs and liftboats per day when
         they are not under contract are typically lower than the per-day
         expenses we incur when they are under contract.  Included in
         International Contract Drilling Services operating expense is a
         total of US$0.4 million and US$1.6 million related to amortization
         of deferred mobilization expenses for the three month and six months
         ended June 30, 2007, respectively.  

    

                  Hercules Offshore, Inc. and Subsidiaries
            Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
                            (Unaudited)
                (In thousands, except per share data)

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. One such non-GAAP financial measure we may present from time to time is operating income or net income excluding certain charges or amounts. This adjusted income amount is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and the six months ended June 30, 2006. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the following table:
