ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Rowan Companies, Inc.(the "Company"), organized in 1947 as a Delaware corporation and a successor to a contract drilling business conducted since 1923 under the name Rowan Drilling Company, Inc., is engaged principally in the contract drilling of oil and gas wells in domestic and foreign areas. As noted below, it also provides aircraft services and, since February, 1994, has operated a mini-steel mill, a heavy equipment manufacturing operation and a marine rig construction yard through the purchase of the net assets of Marathon LeTourneau Company.
Offshore operations of the Company consist primarily of contract drilling services utilizing mobile rigs, principally a fleet of 20 self-elevating drilling platforms ("jack-up rigs"), including three heavy duty cantilever jack-up rigs ("Gorilla Class rigs") delivered in the 1984-86 period. Beginning in 1992, the Company has moved towards Total Project Management, an approach to drilling operations which emphasizes drilling and completing wells on a turnkey basis. In that same year it began providing offshore platform installation and removal services.
The Company provides contract and charter helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft services. In Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico, services provided are primarily to support oil and gas related operations, with the Company's fleet consisting on March 1, 1994 of 94 helicopters and 15 fixed-wing aircraft. Since 1991, the Company has owned a 49% interest in a Dutch-based joint venture company, KLM ERA Helicopters B.V. ("KLM ERA"), which owns a fleet consisting of 10 helicopters in the Dutch and British sectors of the North Sea and one helicopter in Canada.
On February 11, 1994, the Company purchased through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LeTourneau, Inc., the net assets of Marathon LeTourneau Company for $52.1 million with $10.4 million cash paid at the time of the purchase and the balance being seller-financed by promissory notes bearing interest at 7% and payable at the end of five years. LeTourneau, Inc. operates a mini-steel mill that recycles scrap and produces alloy steel and steel plate; a manufacturing facility that produces heavy equipment for the mining, timber and material handling industries including, among other things, front-end loaders up to 50 ton-capacity and trucks under the registered trademark, Titan, up to 240 ton capacity; and a marine division that has built over one-third of all mobile offshore jack-up drilling rigs, including all 20 operated by Rowan.
Information regarding revenues, operating profit, identifiable assets and export sales of the Company's industry segments and foreign and domestic operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, is incorporated by reference herein and provided in Footnote 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 25 of the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 ("Annual Report"), incorporated portions of which are filed as Exhibit 13 hereto. Information on the Company's manufacturing segment is not provided since the purchase occurred after year-end 1993.
In the years 1991, 1992 and 1993, the Company had revenues from individual customers representing more than 10% of consolidated revenues as follows: Conoco, Inc. - 23% and 11% for 1991 and 1992, respectively; and Shell Oil Company - 12% for 1991 and Phillips Petroleum Company - 17% for 1993. Such revenues were primarily from drilling operations.

In 1993, drilling operations generated an operating profit (income from operations before deducting general and administrative expenses) of $19.1 million.
Offshore Operations
At December 31, 1993, the Company's drilling fleet consisted of 20 deep-water jack-up rigs (eight conventional and twelve cantilever, including three Gorilla Class rigs in the latter category), one semi-submersible rig and three submersible barge rigs. The Company owns all of the rigs comprising its fleet except for two cantilever jack-up rigs leased under sale/leaseback arrangements expiring in 1999 and 2000.
Since completing a major drilling rig expansion program conducted in the early to mid-1980s, the Company's capital expenditures have been primarily for improvements to existing drilling rigs and the purchase of aircraft. Adding to these capital expenditures was the November 1991 acquisition of the 49% interest in KLM ERA and the February 1994 purchase of the net assets of Marathon LeTourneau. See ITEM 2.

A report dated February 21, 1994 under ITEM 2.

Marathon LeTourneau is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Cable Corporation.

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into registrant Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-67866 (filed May 22, 1980), 2-58700, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 (June 11, 1980), 33-33755, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (filed March 29, 1990), 33-61444 (filed April 23, 1993), 33-51103 (filed November 18, 1993) 33-51105 (filed November 18, 1993) and 33-51109 (filed November 18, 1993):
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
