    (1) Utilization is the total number of revenue earning days in the
        period as a percentage of the total number of available days in the
        period for all drilling rigs in our fleet.  Days during which the
        rigs were undergoing major refurbishments, upgrades, construction or
        cold-stacked units are not counted as available days.
    
    (2) Average revenue per rig per day is defined as operating revenue
        earned per revenue earning day in the period for all drilling rigs.
    (3) Average operating expense per rig per day is defined as operating
        expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, incurred by our
        rigs in the period divided by the total number of available days in
        the period.
    
Note - TODCO historically included days where the rigs were cold-stacked  
in the number of available days data.  The current period and historical
available days data has been adjusted to exclude the number of days where
the rigs were cold-stacked to be consistent with Hercules Offshore,
Inc. historical presentation.

               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.  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:
