Exhibit 99.1
DRYSHIPS INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING
RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2013
November 4, 2013, Athens, Greece. DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS), or DryShips or the Company, an international provider of marine transportation services for drybulk and petroleum cargoes, and through its majority owned subsidiary, Ocean Rig UDW Inc., or Ocean Rig, of offshore deepwater drilling services, today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights
Ø
For the third quarter of 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $63.9 million, or $0.17 basic and diluted loss per share.
Included in the third quarter 2013 results are:
-
Non-cash write offs and breakage costs associated with the full repayment of Ocean Rig's $800.0 million secured term loan agreement and the two $495.0 million senior secured credit facilities totaling $61.1million or $0.16 per share.
Excluding the above item, the Companys net results would have amounted to a net loss of $27.6
million, or $0.07 per share.(1)
Ø
The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $183.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $141.0 million for the third quarter of 2012.(2)
Recent Highlights
-
On November 4, 2013, the Ocean Rig Mylos, commenced drilling operations under the three year contract with Repsol Sinopec Brazil S.A.
-
On October 30, 2013, the Company signed a Firm Summary of Terms and Conditions with HSH Nordbank, as Agent, for an amendment of certain terms under the Companys $628.8 million Senior and Junior loan agreements dated March 31, 2006, as amended. Under the terms of this agreement, the lending syndicate led by HSH has agreed to apply the currently-pledged restricted cash of $55 million against the next five quarterly installments. In addition the lending syndicate has agreed to relax various financial covenants up till the end of 2014. This agreement is subject to definitive documentation which we expect to complete by the end of November 2013.
-
Our subsidiary, Ocean Rig, achieved 98.4% average fleet wide operating performance for the third quarter of 2013.
-
The deliveries of the newbuildings Ocean Rig Skyros and Ocean Rig Athena are rescheduled for January 2014 and February 2014 respectively, due to the late delivery of third party and sub-supplier equipment.
________________________
(1) The net result is adjusted for the minority interests of 40.56% not owned by Dryships Inc. common stockholders.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; please see later in this press release for reconciliation to net income.
-
On October 29, 2013, Ocean Rig agreed with a major oil company to extend for 60 days the expiration of the previously announced Letter of Award for our ultra deepwater drillship Ocean Rig Skyros.
-
On October 4, 2013, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Evercore Group L.L.C., in connection with an at-the-market offering for up to $200 million of the Company's common shares. During October 2013, 5,891,234 common shares were issued and sold at an average share price of $3.51 per share pursuant to the at-the-market offering, resulting in net proceeds of $20.2 million, after deducting commissions.
George Economou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented:
We are pleased to announce the recently-signed agreement with the banking syndicate led by HSH. Earlier this year, we accelerated our discussions with our lenders to lower our upcoming debt service requirements and concluded an agreement with a lender to, among other things, defer certain principal installments until maturity. This new agreement allows us to use $55 million of restricted cash on our balance sheet to prepay scheduled principal installments, thereby reducing our capital costs during 2014 by $55 million. Furthermore, this new agreement has certain other beneficial clauses including the relaxation of certain financial covenants. This transaction highlights the high degree of trust shown in us by financial institutions who I believe are now starting to recognize borrowers that have navigated the market downturn.
We are satisfied with the interim results of our at-the-market equity offering, which was designed to be funded on an opportunistic basis. Accordingly, we have sold approximately 5.9 million shares at an average price of $3.51 per share resulting in net proceeds of approximately $20.2 million. Going forward we intend to continue to fund this on an opportunistic basis.
The drybulk market continues its recovery lately in the larger asset classes and as a result, asset prices across the board, are rising. We are cautiously optimistic, expecting a sustainable recovery in 2014 and beyond and believe DryShips is well positioned to take advantage of the ensuing recovery in charter rates in the drybulk and tanker sectors. As far as the offshore drilling outlook is concerned, we are pleased with Ocean Rigs solid results for the quarter. As the largest shareholder in Ocean Rig, we believe it is optimally positioned in the ultra-deepwater drilling market and we continue to be positive about the prospects for Ocean Rig, whose contract backlog currently stands at approximately $5.8 billion.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
(2) Total voyage days for fleet are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period net of dry-docking days.
(3) Calendar days are the total number of days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including dry-docking days.
(4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
(5) Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage revenues (net of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as well as commissions. TCE revenues, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues from our vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. TCE is also a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Please see below for a reconciliation of TCE rates to voyage revenues.
(6) Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, vessel impairments, dry-dockings and class survey costs and gains or losses on interest rate swaps. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company measures its operations and efficiency. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our lenders as a measure of our compliance with certain covenants contained in our loan agreements and because the Company believes that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:

Forward-Looking Statement
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with such safe harbor legislation.
Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charterhire and drilling dayrates and drybulk vessel, drilling rig and drillship values, failure of a seller to deliver one or more drilling rigs, drillships or drybulk vessels, failure of a buyer to accept delivery of a drilling rig, drillship, or vessel, inability to procure acquisition financing, default by one or more charterers of our ships, changes in demand for drybulk commodities or oil, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers and customer drilling programs, scheduled and unscheduled drydockings and upgrades, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.
Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by DryShips Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
