November 7, 2011, Athens, Greece. DryShips Inc.

Recent Events
·
On November 3, 2011 the merger with OceanFreight closed and under the terms of the merger agreement the OceanFreight shareholders were paid $11.25 per share in cash and also received 0.52326 shares of Ocean Rig for every share they owned of OceanFreight.
·
On October 26, 2011, the Company entered into a $141 million syndicated secured term loan facility to partially finance the construction costs related to the tankers Belmar, Calida, Lipari and Petalidi.
·
On October 17, 2011 and following the delivery of the Ocean Rig Mykonos, the final 25% of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by each holder, were converted. As such, today the share count for EPS purposes is 388,661,944.
·
On October 12, 2011 the Company entered into drilling contracts for three additional wells offshore West Africa, with two independent oil operators based in the UK and the USA respectively, for the semi-submersible rig Eirik Raude. The total revenue backlog, excluding mobilization cost, to complete the three wells program is estimated at $96 million for a period of approximately 175 days. The new contracts commenced in direct continuation after the completion of the existing Tullow contract around mid-October.
·
On October 6, 2011 Ocean Rig commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “ORIG”.
·
The charterer of the Ocean Rig Olympia, Vanco-Lukoil, did not exercise its option to extend the term of the original contract in West Africa at the operating day rate of $415,000. This contract is currently scheduled to expire in April 2012.
·
On September 30, 2011 Ocean Rig took delivery of its newbuilding drillship, the Ocean Rig Mykonos, the last of four sixth generation, ultra-deepwater sister drillships constructed by Samsung. In connection with the delivery of the Ocean Rig Mykonos, the final yard installment of $305.7 million was paid, which was financed with additional drawdowns in September 2011 under the Company’s Deutsche Bank credit facility.
·
At the current time, the Company’s rig availability in 2012 consists of 1 ultra deepwater drillship unit, the Ocean Rig Olympia and the 2 harsh weather ultra deepwater semisubmersible drilling rigs, the Eirik Raude and Leiv Eiriksson.
George Economou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented:
“The third quarter of 2011 was a significant period for our offshore drilling unit because it marked the successful completion of our drillship newbuilding program. Since we acquired Ocean Rig we successfully arranged financing, took delivery and entered into contracts with major oil companies for our four 6th generation ultra deepwater drillships. The outlook for the ultra deepwater drilling industry is bright, and we feel this segment is well positioned to capitalize on positive industry fundamentals.
The shipping markets remain volatile. We are well positioned to weather the storm with 54% of our 2012 operating days in the Drybulk segment under fixed rate charters at an average rate of about $35,000 per day. On the tanker side, our vessels are operating in the Heidmar pools which we believe have consistently outperformed spot markets particularly in adverse market conditions. Despite the turmoil in the global capital markets and general lack of liquidity, our free cash cash position today of approximately $0.4 billion remains solid. We were able to source competitively-priced bank loans like our recently executed secured term loan facility with the Import-Export Bank of Korea and ABN AMRO. We will continue to leverage our banking relationships as we arrange financing for our remaining newbuilding program.
OceanRig is DryShips biggest asset today. Management will take appropriate actions over time to realize the value of its stake in OceanRig for the benefit of all shareholders.”

(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 off hire days.
(3) Calendar days are the total number of days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off hire 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 is 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.
(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 net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, vessel impairments 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 income to Adjusted EBITDA:

Forward-Looking Statement
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. 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 rates and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, 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 US Securities and Exchange Commission.
