Item2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial
Condition

Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (the Company) is furnishing this
Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Amendment No.1 to its Current
Report on Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February6, 2017. The purpose of this Amendment No.1
is to announce a revision to its preliminary financial results
for the quarter and year ended December31, 2016.

On February13, 2017, the Company issued a press release
announcing a revision to its previously-announced earnings for
the quarter and year ended December31, 2016. As it was completing
its year-end financial reporting process, the Company discovered
that its liability for uncertain tax positions in certain foreign
jurisdictions did not appropriately reflect changes in foreign
exchange rates. The majority of the impact was related to the
devaluation of the Egyptian Pound, primarily in the fourth
quarter of 2016. A copy of the press release is furnished
herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Management is evaluating the impact of the foregoing with respect
to the Companys internal control over financial reporting and
potential remedial actions.

The information contained in Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 to this
Amendment No.1 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of
Section18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
shall not be incorporated by reference into any previous or
future registration statement filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being
incorporated by reference.
