ACQUISITION OF SWIRE PACIFIC OFFSHORE HOLDINGS LTD

On April 22, 2022 (Merger Date), we acquired Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Ltd., a limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (SPO) which owns 50 offshore support vessels operating primarily in West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. On the Merger Date, we paid $42.0 million in cash and issued 8,100,000 warrants, each of which is exercisable at $0.001 per share for one share of our common stock. In addition, we paid $19.6 million in cash related to pre-closing working capital adjustments for a total consideration of $223.5 million. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustment mechanisms related to SPO’s closing date working capital, cash and indebtedness. Revenues and net earnings of SPO from the Merger Date through June 30, 2022 included in our consolidated statements of operations were $43.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the Merger Date under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value estimates below are subject to adjustment during the measurement period subsequent to the Merger Date, primarily consisting of the final valuation for various working capital items, tax and other liabilities existing on the Merger Date. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities including long-lived assets and contingencies require judgments and assumptions. Adjustments might be made to these estimates during the measurement period and those adjustments could be material. The warrants issued in the acquisition were initially classified as liabilities subject to mark to market fair value adjustments but were reclassified to equity on June 24, 2022. See Note 6 for additional details.

The provisional amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates of their fair values as of the Merger Date and were as follows:

Business combination related costs were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense and consisted of various advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees totaling $7.2 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Property and equipment acquired in the business combination consisted primarily of offshore support vessels. We recorded property and equipment acquired at estimated fair value of approximately $179.7 million. The fair values of the offshore support vessels were estimated by applying both an income approach, using projected discounted cash flows, and a market approach. We estimate that the remaining useful lives for the vessels acquired fall in the range of one to 16 years, based on an original estimated useful life of 20 years. NaN goodwill was recognized in connection with this business combination.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma results present consolidated information as if the business combination were completed on January 1, 2021. The pro forma results include, among others, (i) a reduction in depreciation expense for adjustments to property and equipment and (ii) the reversal of any income or expense related to assets retained by the seller, Banyan Overseas Ltd., a limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies or non-recurring charges that may result directly from the business combination.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

 

Expected credit losses are recognized on the initial recognition of our trade accounts receivable and contract assets. In each subsequent reporting period, even if a loss has not yet been incurred, credit losses are recognized based on the history of credit losses and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability. We developed an expected credit loss model applicable to our trade accounts receivable and contract assets that considers our historical performance and the economic environment, as well as the credit risk and its expected development for each segmented group of customers that share similar risk characteristics. It is our practice to write off receivables when all legal options for collection have been exhausted.

We also had “out-of-the-money” warrants outstanding exercisable for 5,923,399 shares of “out-of-the-money” warrants outstandingcommon stock at both SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021. Included in these “out-of-the-money” warrants are Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and GLF Equity Warrants which have exercise prices of $57.06, $62.28,$57.06,$62.28, and $100.00, respectively.$100.00, respectively, and expire on various dates in 2023 and 2024. No warrants or restricted stock units, whether in the money or out of the money, are included in our loss per share calculations because the effect of such inclusion is antidilutive.

 

(A)The Share Purchase Agreement for SPO included a provision under which the former parent of SPO agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities and could settle these liabilities, at their option, with cash or SPO acquisition warrants. This provision caused the SPO acquisition warrants to be classified as liabilities which requires a mark to market valuation primarily based on the change in our share price at each reporting period. Absent this provision, the SPO acquisition warrants would have been classified as equity in our balance sheet with the value included in additional paid in capital. On June 24, 2022, we amended the Share Purchase Agreement revising the provision to require our consent to use the warrants to satisfy any indemnity liabilities. We recognized a loss associated with the mark to market adjustment on June 24, 2022 totaling $14.2 million based on the share price of $21.83 per share on June 24, 2022 compared to the Merger Date share price of $20.08 per share. The SPO acquisition warrants were reclassified from liabilities to additional paid in capital at the adjusted amount of $176.8 million.

INCOME TAXES

 

We use a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for interim periods instead of applying the annual effective tax rate to an estimate of the full fiscal year due to the level of volatility and unpredictability of earnings in our industry, both overall and by jurisdiction.

 

Income tax expense for the quarterthree and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, , reflects tax liabilities in various jurisdictions that are either based on revenue (deemed profit regimes) or pre-tax profits.

 

The tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are primarily attributable to permanent establishment issues related to a foreign joint venture,jurisdictions, subpart F income inclusions and withholding taxes on foreign services. Penalties and interest related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. Income tax payable is included in other current liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 20202021, our balance sheet reflected approximately $137.0$202.8 million of net deferred tax assets prior to a valuation allowance analysis, with a valuation allowance of $140.4$204.9 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $162.1$258.6 million prior to a valuation allowance analysis of $165.7$260.9 million. The net deferred tax assets amounts as of June 30, 2022 include $55.0 million of deferred tax assets from the SPO acquisition offset by a $55.0 million valuation allowance.

 

Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to permit use of existing deferred tax assets.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions, that are available to us, that, among other things, would allow businessesus to carry back net operating losses arising after 2017 to the five prior tax years. Considering the available carryback, in the second quarter of 2020, we recorded an accountincome tax receivable tax benefit totaling $6.9 million related to the realization of net operating loss deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance was previously recorded. Weand we collected this receivable in the first quarter of 2021.

 

With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to tax audits by U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities for years prior to 2014.March 2015. We are subject to ongoing examinations by various foreign tax authorities and do not believe that the results of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The amounts due from acquisition date was January 3, 2022 (Sonatide are denominated in U.S. dollars; however,Merger Date). However, we used a convenience date of January 1, 2022 for the underlying third-party customer payments to Sonatide were satisfied, in part, in Angolan kwanzas. In late 2019, we were informed that, as part of a broad privatization program, Sonangol, our partner in Sonatide, intends to seek to divest itselfacquisition and have recorded activity from the Sonatide joint venture.

Inbeginning of the secondfirst quarter of 2020,2022. Revenues of Sonatide declared a $35.0 million dividend. On September 22, 2020, Sonangol received $17.8from the Sonatide Merger Date included in our consolidated statements of operations were $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The net earnings of Sonatide were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The acquisition date fair value of the 49% equity interest in Sonatide held by us was zero and we received $17.2 million. Alldid not recognize a significant gain or loss as a result of remeasuring to the fair value of our shareequity interest. 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the dividendSonatide Merger Date under the acquisition method of accounting. We have not finalized the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value estimates below are subject to adjustment during the measurement period subsequent to the Sonatide Merger Date. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities including long-lived assets and contingencies require judgments and assumptions. Adjustments might be made to these estimates during the measurement period and those adjustments could be material.

The provisional amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates of their fair values as of the Sonatide Merger Date and were as follows:

The bargain purchase gain of $1.3 million is reflected as dividend income from unconsolidated companyincluded in theour consolidated statement of operations because (i) our investment in the Sonatide joint venture had previously been written down to zero, (ii) the distributions are not refundable and (iii) we are not liable for the obligations of or committed to provide financial support to the Sonatide joint venture. In addition, as a result of the aforementioned dividend payment, the cash balances of the joint venture were significantly reduced and we determined that, as a result, a significant portion of our net due from Sonatide balance was compromised. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2022 we recorded a $41.5 million credit loss impairment expense.

After offsettingunder the amounts duecaption “Interest income and other, net.” Business combination related costs were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense and consisted of various advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees which were not material to Sonatide,our consolidated results of operations for the net amount due from Sonatide atyear and September 30, 2021 was approximately $8.6 million. Sonatide had approximately $11.2 million of cash on hand at September 30, 2021 plus approximately $9.5 million of net trade accounts receivable to satisfy the net due from Sonatide. Given prior discussions with our partner regarding how the net losses from the devaluation of certain Angolan kwanza denominated accounts should be shared, we continue to evaluate our net due from Sonatide balance for possible additional changes in future periods based in part on available liquidity held by Sonatide. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberDecember 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021,2022, we recorded a $1.0 million credit to the credit loss impairment account.respectively.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma results present consolidated information as if the business combination were completed on January 1, 2021. The pro forma results include, among others, (i) a reduction in depreciation expense for adjustments to Sonatideproperty and equipment and (ii) a reduction in commission expense previously payable to the joint venture which has been eliminated. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies or non-recurring charges that may result directly from the business combination. The pro forma revenues and net loss, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 were $375.4 million and $129.2 million, respectively.

DTDW owns one offshore service vessel. We also, from time to time, operate company owned vessels in Nigeria for which our partner receives a commission. As of September 30, 2021, we had no company owned vessels operating in Nigeria and the DTDW owned vessel was not employed. As a result, the near-term cash flow projections indicate that DTDW does not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations to us or its vendors. Based on current situations, operations in Nigeria have been severely impacted and we have effectively ceased activity. We have created a fully reserved position in our consolidated balance sheet to account for our expected liabilities related to certain obligations of the joint venture. In the second quarter of 2020,2022, we recorded anentered into a netting arrangement with our partner allowing either partner to discharge their obligations by netting these amounts against sums owed by the other partner. In accordance with this agreement, we have the ability to net our due from affiliate credit loss impairment expense forbalance against the entiredue to affiliate balance on our consolidated balance sheet. The net due from DTDW balance equals the net due to balance at June 30, 2022 and, as ofa result, there is a net September 30, 2020 zerototaling $12.1 million.

Previously, DTDW had long-term debt of $4.7 million which was secured by the vessel owned by DTDW and guarantees balance in our net due to due from the DTDW partners (in proportion to their ownership interests).

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

We have a defined benefit pension plan (pension plan) that covers certain U.S. employees. The pension plan was frozen during 2010. We have not made contributions to the pension plan since 2019. Actuarial valuations are performed annually and an assessment of the future pension obligations and market value of the assets will determine if contributions are made in the future.

 

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

We also support a non-contributory and non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan (supplemental plan) which was closed to new participants during 2010. We contributed $1.2$0.8 million during each of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively. We expect to contribute $0.4$0.8 million to the supplemental plan during the remainder of 2021.2022. Our obligations under the supplemental plan were $22.8$22.5 million for bothand $22.7 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and are included in “accrued expenses” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(A)

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 the fair value (Level 2) of the Senior Secured Notes was $136.4$178.7 million and $141.4$177.6 million, respectively.

 

(B)

The $24.1$1.2 million restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, represents approximately 65% of net proceeds from asset dispositions since the date of the last tender offer and is restricted by the terms of the Indenture. 

(C)During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased $11.8 million of the Senior Secured Notes at a premium of $0.1 million in open market transactions.

(D)

We pay principal andpro rata amount due for our next semiannual interest on these notes semi-annually. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value (Level 2) of the Troms Offshore borrowings was $23.6 million and $51.6 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Troms Offshore borrowings as of September 30, 2021 was 5.0%.payment obligation. 

 

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions, one or more additional offers, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

An amendment and restatement of the Troms Offshore credit agreement was executed in December 2020 whereby the financial covenants were conformed to match the November 2020 amendments to the covenants governing thealso have a Super Senior Secured Notes, and included an obligation to prepay (1) the amounts deferred in the 2017 amendment and restatement and (2) an additional amount that will not exceed $45 million representing a percentage of Senior Secured Notes prepayments. The prepayment associated with this amendment made during the nine months of 2021 totaled $23.3 million. Additional prepayment obligations of $3.4 million are due in the fourth quarter of 2021, and are reflected in current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. 

During the third quarter of 2021, we reclassified the Senior Secured Notes to current portion of long-term debt as the notes mature in August 2022. Our current Senior Secured Notes and Troms Offshore borrowings are expected to be redeemed with proceeds from our new Nordic Bond Offering as described below. The funding of the new notes will not take place until after the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q as noted below.

Subsequent Event

On October 8, 2021, we announced the contemplated private offering of USD $175.0 million in 5-year senior secured bonds in the Nordic bond market, subject to market and other conditions (the Nordic Bond Offering). On October 15, 2021, we announced the completion of pricing and terms of the Nordic Bond Offering. We anticipate that funding of the Nordic Bond Offering will occurRevolving Credit Facility Agreement maturing on November 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The bonds will mature in November 2026 and have a coupon rate of 8.5% per annum. The net proceeds from the Nordic Bond Offering will be employed to repay the existing Senior Secured Notes and the Troms Offshore borrowings in full, including contractual make-whole premiums, with any remaining part thereof, appliedthat provides $25.0 million for general corporateworking capital purposes.

NaN amounts have been drawn on this credit facility.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Currency Devaluation and Fluctuation Risk

 

Due to our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. For some of our international contracts, a portion of the revenue and local expenses are incurred in local currencies with the result that we are at risk for changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge against any foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with foreign currency contracts that arise in the normal course of business, which exposes us to the risk of exchange rate losses. To minimize the financial impact of these items, we attempt to contract a significant majority of our services in U.S. dollars. In addition, we attempt to minimize the financial impact of these risks by matching the currency of our operating costs with the currency of our revenue streams when considered appropriate. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Various legal proceedings and claims are outstanding which arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Other Financial Instruments

 

Our primary financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and trade payables with book values that are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. The carrying value for cash equivalents is considered to be representative of its fair value due to the short duration and conservative nature of the cash equivalent investment portfolio. In addition,the second quarter of 2022, we agreed to a transaction with PEMEX, the Mexican national oil company, to exchange $8.6 million in accounts receivable for an equal face amount of seven year 8.75% PEMEX corporate bonds (PEMEX Note). As part of this agreement, we are not allowed to sell the PEMEX Note for 90 days from issuance and have determined that it should be classified as “available for sale.” At June 30, 2022 we recorded a $0.8 million in mark-to-market loss in other comprehensive income. We disclose the fair value of our long-term debt in Note 910 and the fair value of our assets held for sale in Note 15.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF OPERATIONS

Segment Changes

In conjunction with the acquisition of SPO discussed in Note 3, the previous Middle East/Asia Pacific segment has been split into the Middle East segment and the Asia Pacific segment. Our previous operations in Southeast Asia and Australia, along with the legacy SPO operations in the Asia Pacific region, now form the new Asia Pacific segment. Our segment disclosures reflect the current segment alignment for all periods presented.

Each of our 5 operating segments is managed by a senior executive reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and our Chief Executive Officer uses the results of each of the operating segments for resource allocation and performance evaluation. 

 

The following table provides a comparison of segment revenues, vessel operating profit (loss), depreciation and amortization, and additions to properties and equipment for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021. Vessel revenues relate to vessels owned and operated by us while other operating revenues relate to other miscellaneous marine-related businesses.

ASSET DISPOSITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

 

InDuring the fourthsix quarter ofmonths ending 2019,June 30, 2022, we evaluated our fleet, primarily vessels that had been stacked for an extended period, for vessels to be considered for disposal and identified 46 vessels to be classified as held for sale. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, the industry and world economies were affected by a global pandemic and a concurrent reduction in the demand for and the price of crude oil. The pandemic and oil price impact severely affected the oil and gas industry which caused us to re-evaluate the remainder of our stacked vessel fleet and expand our disposal program to include more vessels. In 2020,we added 32 vessels1 vessel from the SPO fleet to our assets held for sale, sold 53or recycled 9 of theour vessels that were classified as held for sale, and had 23re-activated 1 vessel from assets held for sale back into the active fleet, leaving 9 vessels valued at $34.4$6.9 million remaining in the held for sale account as of December 31, 2020. During the nine months of 2021, we added two vessels to assets held for sale, sold nine of our vessels held for sale, and re-activated two vessels from assets held for sale back into the active fleet, leaving 14 vessels, valued at $17.9 million, remaining in the held for sale account as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022. In addition, we sold 100 vessels from our active fleet in the ninesix month period ofending 2021June 30, 2022. We sold 8 vessels from assets held for sale and three5 vessels from our active fleet in the ninesix month period ofending 2020.June 30, 2021. The total vessel and other sales for the six month period ending June 30, 2022 contributed approximately $8.2 million in proceeds and we recognized a net $1.1 million loss on the dispositions. The vessel and other sales for the six month period ending June 30, 2021 contributed $29.4 million in proceeds and we recognized a $2.9 million net loss on the dispositions. One of the active vessel sales in the second quarter of 2021, was to a third-party operator, which has a person in senior management whowhose Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Rigdon, is an immediate family memberthe son of a Director.Larry Rigdon, the chairman of our Board of Directors. This vessel was sold for proceeds of $11.4 million, all of which has beenwas collected in the second quarter of 2021, and we recognized a gain of $4.3 million on the sale. The total vessel and other sales for the nine months of 2021 contributed approximately $34.0 million in proceeds and we incurred a net $3.0 million loss on the dispositions. The vessel and other sales for the nine months of 2020 contributed $31.5 million in proceeds and we recognized a $7.5 million net gain on the dispositions.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $1.9 million and $65.7 million, respectively, in impairment related to assets held for sale. We consider the valuation approach for our assets held for sale to be a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the level of estimation involved in valuing assets to be recycled or sold. We determinedestimate the fairnet realizable value of the vesselsour assets held for sale using various methodologies including twothird methodologies depending onparty appraisals, sales comparisons, sales agreements and scrap yard tonnage prices. Estimates generally fall in ranges rather than exact numbers due to the vesselnature of sales of offshore vessels and industry conditions. Our value ranges depend on our planned methodexpectation of disposition.the ultimate disposition of the vessel. We designatedwill in all circumstances attempt to achieve maximum value for our vessels, but also recognize that certain vessels are more likely to be recycled, especially given the time and valued those vessels using recycling yard pricing schedules based on dollars per ton.effort required to achieve a sale and the costs incurred to maintain a vessel while a searching for a buyer. We generallyestablish ranges that in many cases have scrap value vessels that will be sold rather than recycledas the low end of the range and an expected open market sale value at the midpointtop of a valuethe range. When there is no expectation within the range based on sales agreements or using comparative sales in the marketplace. Subsequentthat is considered more likely than any other, we apply equal probability weighting to the originallow and high ends of the valuation we revalue individual assets held for sale if we determine that the ultimate disposition price will be below the value range used in the original estimate.range. In addition, in conjunction with the reactivation of a vessel from assets held for sale to the active fleet in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 and the concurrent valuation of such vessel at its fair value, we recaptured $1.7$0.5 million of impairment charged to expense in the second quarter of 2020.expense. We do not separate our asset impairment expense by segment because of the significant movement of our assets between segments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded 0 impairment related to assets held for sale.

We evaluated our inventory as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and charged $1.9 million for each period to impairment expense for obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory. We considered this valuation approach to be a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the level of estimation involved in valuing obsolete inventory.

In early 2020, it became evident that a novel coronavirus originating in Asia (COVID-19) could become a pandemic with worldwide reach. By mid- March, when the World Health Organization declared the outbreak to be a pandemic (the COVID-19 pandemic), much of the industrialized world had initiated severe measures to lessen its impact. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption beginning in the first quarter of 2020. With respect to our particular sector, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a much lower demand for oil as national, regional, and local governments imposed travel restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders, and limitations on business operations in order to contain its spread. During this same time period, oil-producing countries struggled to reach consensus on worldwide production levels, resulting in both a market oversupply of oil and a precipitous fall in oil prices. Combined, these conditions adversely affected our operations and business beginning in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 and continuing throughout the remainder of 2020 and through the firstnine months of 2021. The reduction in demand for hydrocarbons together with an unprecedented decline in the price of oil has resulted in our primary customers, the oil and gas companies, making material reductions to their planned spending on offshore projects, compounding the effect of COVID-19 on offshore operations. Further, these conditions, separately or together, have continued to impact the demand for our services, the utilization and/or rates we can achieve for our assets and services, and the outlook for our industry in general.

In the first and second quarters of 2020, we considered these events to be indicators that the value of our active offshore vessel fleet may be impaired. As a result, as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we performed Step 1 evaluations of our active offshore fleet under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, which governs the methodology for identifying and recording impairment of long-lived assets to determine if any of our asset groups have net book value in excess of undiscounted future net cash flows. Our evaluations did not indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. Beginning with the third quarter of 2020, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price environment stabilized and in the fourth quarter of 2020 industry conditions marginally improved. Similarly, in the firstnine months of 2021 we have not seen indications in the industry that would indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. As a result, we did not identify additional events or conditions that would require us to perform a Step 1 evaluation as of September 30, 2021. We will continue to monitor the expected future cash flows and the fair market value of our asset groups for impairment.

About Tidewater

 

Our vessels and associated vessel services provide support for all phases of offshore oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production as well as windfarm development and maintenance. These services include towing of, and anchor handling for, mobile offshore drilling units; transporting supplies and personnel necessary to sustain drilling, workover and production activities; offshore construction and seismic and subsea support; geotechnical survey support for windfarm construction, and a variety of other specialized services such as pipe and cable laying. In addition, we have one of the broadest geographic operating footprints in the offshore vessel industry. Our global operating footprint allows us to react quickly to changing local market conditions and to be responsive to the changing requirements of the many customers with which we believe we have strong relationships. We are also one of the most experienced international operators in the offshore energy industry with a history spanning over 65 years.

 

At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we owned 153196 vessels with an average age of 11.3 years (excluding 3one joint venture vessels), 139 of which arevessel, but including five stacked vessels and nine vessels designated as assets held for sale) available to serve the global energy industry and 14 of which are available for immediate sale.industry. We also have two vessels currently under construction. The average age of our 139187 active vessels at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 is 10.611.1 years.

On April 22, 2022, we completed our previously disclosed acquisition of SPO and its 50 offshore support vessels operating primarily in West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. As consideration for the acquisition, we paid $42.0 million in cash and issued 8,100,000 warrants, each of which is exercisable at $0.001 per share for one share of our common stock. In addition, we paid $19.6 million in cash related to pre-closing working capital adjustments. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustment mechanisms related to SPO’s closing date working capital, cash and indebtedness.

Objective

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) is designed to provide information about our financial condition and results of operations from management’s perspective. It includes relevant components of our financial condition and current and long-term liquidity. Primary revenue drivers include numbers of active vessels, active vessel utilization and average day rates. Our most significant operating cost drivers are generally personnel costs and repairs and maintenance. We discuss our liquidity in terms of cash flow that we generate from our operations. Our primary obligations are vessel operating costs including routine planned maintenance, general and administrative costs and long-term debt service. Our primary sources of capital have been our cash on hand, internally generated funds including operating cash flow, vessel sales and long-term debt financing. We also can issue stock or stock-based financial instruments either in the open market or as currency in acquisitions. This ability is impacted by existing market conditions. Our results are affected by the activity of our customers in the offshore oil and gas industry and the supply and demand dynamics associated with our vessels. Our objective is to discuss how all these factors have affected our historical results and, where applicable, how we expect these factors to impact our future results and future liquidity.

 

Principal Factors That Drive Our Results

 

Our revenues, net earnings and cash flows from operations are largely dependent upon the activity level of our offshore marine vessel fleet. As is the case with the numerous other vessel operators in our industry, our business activity is largely dependent on the level of exploration, field development and production activity of our customers. Our customers’ business activity, in turn, is dependent on current and expected crude oil and natural gas prices, which fluctuate depending on expected future levels of supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and on estimates of the cost to find, develop and produce crude oil and natural gas reserves.

 

Our revenues in all segments are driven primarily by our fleet size, vessel utilization and day rates. Because a sizeable portion of our operating and depreciation costs do not change proportionally with changes in revenue, our operating profit is largely dependent on revenue levels.

 

Operating costs consist primarily of crew costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance costs, fuel, lube oil and supplies costs and other vessel operating costs. Fleet size, fleet composition, geographic areas of operation, supply and demand for marine personnel, and local labor requirements are the major factors which affect overall crew costs in all segments. In addition, our newer, more technologically sophisticated vessels generally require a greater number of specially trained, more highly compensated fleet personnel than our older, smaller and less sophisticated vessels. Crew costs may increase if competition for skilled personnel intensifies, though a weaker offshore energy market should somewhat mitigate any potential inflation of crew costs.intensifies.

23

 

Costs related to the recertification of vessels are deferred and amortized over 30 months on a straight-line basis. Maintenance costs incurred at the time of the recertification drydocking that are not related to the recertification of the vessel are expensed as incurred. Costs related to vessel improvements that either extend the vessel’s useful life or increase the vessel’s functionality are capitalized and depreciated.

 

Insurance costs are dependent on a variety of factors, including our safety record and pricing in the insurance markets, and can fluctuate over time. Our vessels are generally insured for up to their estimated fair market value in order to cover damage or loss. We also purchase coverage for potential liabilities stemming from third-party losses with limits that we believe are reasonable for our operations, but do not generally purchase business interruption insurance or similar coverage. Insurance limits are reviewed annually, and third-party coverage is purchased based on the expected scope of ongoing operations and the cost of third-party coverage.

 

Fuel and lube costs can also fluctuate in any given period depending on the number and distance of vessel mobilizations, the number of active vessels off charter, drydockings, and changes in fuel prices. We also incur vessel operating costs that are aggregated as “other” vessel operating costs. These costs consist of brokers’ commissions, training costs, satellite communication fees, agent fees, port fees and other miscellaneous costs. Brokers’ commissions are incurred primarily in our non-United States operations where brokers sometimes assist in obtaining work. Brokers generally are paid a percentage of day rates and, accordingly, commissions paid to brokers generally fluctuate in accordance with vessel revenue.

Sonatide 

We previously disclosed the significant financial and operational challenges that we confront with respect to operations in Angola, as well as steps that we have taken to address or mitigate those risks. Most of our attention has been focused in three areas: (i) reducing the net receivable balance due from Sonatide, our Angolan joint venture with Sonangol, for vessel services; (ii) reducing the foreign currency risk created by virtue of provisions of Angolan law that require that payment for a portion of the services provided by Sonatide be paid in Angolan kwanza; and (iii) optimizing opportunities, consistent with Angolan law, for services provided by us to be paid for directly in U.S. dollars. The amounts due from Sonatide are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the underlying third-party customer payments to Sonatide were satisfied, in part, in Angolan kwanzas. We and Sonangol, our partner in Sonatide, have had discussions regarding how the net losses from the devaluation of certain Angolan kwanza denominated accounts should be shared. In late 2019, we were informed that, as part of a broad privatization program, Sonangol intends to seek to divest itself from the Sonatide joint venture.

Refer to Notes (7) of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on the Sonatide joint venture.

DTDW

We own 40% of DTDW. Our partner, who owns 60%, is a Nigerian national. DTDW owns one offshore service vessel. We also, from time to time, operate company owned vessels in Nigeria for which our partner receives a commission. As of September 30, 2021, we had no company owned vessels operating in Nigeria and the DTDW owned vessel was not employed. As a result, the near-term cash flow projections indicate that DTDW does not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations to us or its vendors. Based on current situations, operations in Nigeria have been severely impacted and we have effectively ceased activity. We have created a fully reserved position in our consolidated balance sheet to account for our expected liabilities related to certain obligations of the joint venture.

Previously, DTDW had long-term debt of $4.7 million which was secured by the vessel owned by DTDW and guarantees from the DTDW partners (in proportion to their ownership interests). On April 22, 2021, we paid approximately $2.0 million, which represented our portion of the joint venture debt guarantee and our partner assumed the remaining joint venture debt which represented his portion of the guarantee.

Industry Conditions and Outlook

 

Our business is directly impacted by the level of activity in worldwide offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production, which in turn is influenced by trends in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, oil and natural gas prices are affected by a host of geopolitical and economic forces, including the fundamental principles of supply and demand. In particular, the oil price is significantly influenced by actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and in recent times, OPEC + which is an expanded version of OPEC. In addition, offshoreOffshore oil and gas exploration and development activities have traditionally required higher oil or natural gas prices to justify the much higher expenditure levels ofand longer lead times from exploration to production associated with offshore activities compared to onshore activities. PricesOil and gas prices are subject to significant uncertainty, extreme price cycles and geopolitical risk, and, as a result, arecan be extremely volatile. BeginningIn general, the industry considers crude oil pricing in excess of $50.0 per barrel to be required to initiate modest offshore development programs. Prices in excess of $75.0 per barrel are generally considered the level needed to support more robust offshore development and exploration programs. In late 2014 and 2015, oil prices declined significantly from levels of over $100.00$100.0 per barrel and continued to decline throughout 2015 and into 2016 causingless than $30.0 per barrel beginning an industry-wide downturn.downturn that lasted several years. Prices began to stabilize in the $50.00$50.0 to $60.00$60.0 per barrel range in 2019 and early 2020.2020, suggesting a return to exploration and production activities for our customers. However, in the first quarter of 2020, the industry was severely impacted by a global pandemic (COVID-19) and the resulting loss of demand and decrease in oil prices. Oil prices havedeclined severely in the second quarter of 2020, trading at below $20.0 per barrel. Oil prices recovered in 2021 to levels greater than experienced since 2018, currently trading near $80.00and in the first half of 2022 have traded in a volatile range between $90.0 and $125.0 per barrel. Natural gas prices are also at historic highs.

 

In spitethe first quarter of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, initiating a military conflict that continues. Russia is the most significant non-OPEC member of OPEC+ and is one of the largest producers of oil and natural gas in the world. It is also a primary supplier of natural gas to the European continent. Many European countries are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which also includes the United States. NATO countries have imposed sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion, which has disrupted oil markets and threatened supplies of natural gas to European customers. All of these factors are creating uncertainty in world economies and affecting commodity pricing.

Despite the price recovery, there are lingering effects of the 2014 downturn and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic downturn in the activity levels of our customers. In addition, there has been recent pressure from certain shareholders and other stakeholders, including governmental entities, on our customers related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. A possible impact of this pressure on our business could be a gradual move away from exploration and development of fossil fuels. Many of our large international customers have recently issued statements supporting changes in their future business plans to move toward a lower environmental impact which has, coupled with the lingering COVID-19 impact, effectively delayed the recovery in our business that would be expected with current commodity price levels. Further, as our customers have responded to pressure to return capital to shareholders in the wake of the 2014 downturn and subsequent industry challenges, they have increasingly shifted their capital allocation strategy from primarily new oil and gas production and reserve additions to a mix of returns to shareholders along with new oil and gas project development. The realistic expectation of a worldwide move towards more sustainable fuels for supplying energy includes the continued use of fossil fuels for some time to come. Despite the pressure to return capital to shareholders and the ongoing social pressure to move away from fossil fuels, our customers have started to expand exploration and development activities.

We are one of the world’s largest operatoroperators of offshore support vessels and we have operations in most of the world’s offshore oil and gas basins. We continue to believe that there will be sufficient opportunities for us to operate our vessels in this sector for many years to come. We have, however, also begun to seek and develop opportunities in the sustainability arena, including the support of offshore wind energy generation and the improvement of our fleet performance regarding emissions and environmental impact. There is current evidence of higher oil and gas demand which has resulted in increased commodity pricing and increased customer activity offshore. We are optimistic that our industry will experience a continued recovery over the coming years.

 

As COVID-19 spread throughout the world, its impact on many of our locations, including our vessels, has affected our operations. We implemented various protocols for both onshore and offshore personnel in efforts to limit this impact. Any spread of COVID-19 to our onshore workforce or key management personnel could prevent us from supporting our offshore operations, reduce productivity as our onshore personnel continue to work remotely, and disrupt our business. Any outbreak on our vessels may result in the vessel, or some or all of a vessel crew, being quarantined and therefore impede the vessel’s ability to generate revenue. We have experienced challenges in connection with our offshore crew changes due to health and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, and those challenges and/or restrictions are expected to continue despite our efforts at mitigating them. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our operations and business, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in our SEC filings.

The effect on our business has included lockdowns of shipyards performing drydocks which delays vessels returning to service and the cancellation and/or temporary delay of certain revenue vessel contracts allowed either under the contract provisions or by mutual agreement with our customers. These cancellations and/or temporary delays reduced our year 2020 revenues by 18% and third quarter and year-to-dateour year 2021 revenues by less than 1% and 4% respectively.3%. Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were not significantly impacted. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 20202021, and the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022 we incurred approximately $18.0$7.0 million and $5.2$2.2 million, respectively, in higher operating costs, primarily related to additional crew costs, mobilization and vessel stacking costs as a result of these unplanned contract cancellations.cancellations or delays. There may be additional cancellations or delays.

 

As a company,ESG and Climate Change

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of certain adverse weather patterns, which may impact our business. Due to concern over the risk of climate change, several countries have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other gases (greenhouse gas emissions). In addition, the increased regulation of environmental emissions is expected to create greater incentives for the use of alternative energy sources. Consideration of climate change-related issues and the responses to those issues through international agreements and national, regional, or state regulatory frameworks are integrated into our strategy, planning, forecasting and risk management processes, where applicable.

Our primary business is to support the fossil fuel industry. In addition, we burn fossil fuels in operating our vessels. The fossil fuel industry is considered one of the primary contributors to the elements of global climate change. The primary source of energy in the world is fossil fuels. We believe that continued use of fossil fuels will be important as the world transitions to alternative energy sources. We are prepared to participate in the transition but also to continue to support the fossil fuel industry. We have undertaken severalbegun to take measures to allow usaddress the future of our company and our impact on climate change. Such measures include modifications to recovermany of our vessels to reduce our carbon footprint (approximately $10.9 million of emissions focused costs including fuel monitoring systems and batteries for supplemental power are included in our net properties and equipment amount as soonof June 30, 2022); developing associations with alternative energy providers such as possible:windfarms; and publication of a written sustainability report. We have also recently formed an ESG committee within our Board of Directors. We are in the early stages on most of these measures and continue to develop our strategies and solutions. The measures we undertake will continue to evolve in compliance with new regulations and in recognition of applicable new sustainable technologies.

Planned capital and drydock expenditures tied to contracts referenced above have been temporarily delayed or cancelled. 

We have the ability to rapidly respond to contract cancellations and delays, and have removed the crews and shut down operations, depending on contract terms, on vessels associated with cancelled or delayed contracts. We continue to evaluate our general and administrative costs to reflect the current demand for our offshore support vessels.

 

The fullSEC has recently proposed rule changes that would require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in their registration statements and periodic reports, including information about climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on their business, results of operations, or financial condition, and certain climate-related financial statement metrics in a note to their audited financial statements. The required information about climate-related risks also would include disclosure of a registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions, which have become a commonly used metric to assess a registrant’s exposure to such risks.

The proposed rule changes would require a registrant to disclose information about (i) the registrant’s governance of climate-related risks and relevant risk management processes; (ii) how any climate-related risks identified by the registrant have had or are likely to have a material impact on its business and consolidated financial statements, which may manifest over the short-, medium-, or long-term; (iii) how any identified climate-related risks have affected or are likely to affect the registrant’s strategy, business model, and outlook; and (iv) the impact of climate-related events (severe weather events and other natural conditions) and transition activities on the COVID-19 pandemicline items of a registrant’s consolidated financial statements, as well as on the financial estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements.

For a detailed discussion of climate change and related governmental regulation, including associated risks and possible impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations, will depend on the severity, location, and duration of the effects and spread of the pandemic itself, the actions undertaken by national, regional, and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of this pandemic, the anticipated negative financial impact to our operating results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be both material and long lasting.

In the first and second quarters of 2020, we considered these events to be indicators that the valueplease see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our active offshore vessel fleet may be impaired. As a result, as of MarchAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we performed Step 1 evaluations of our active offshore fleet under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, which governs the methodology for identifying and recording impairment of long-lived assets to determine if any of our asset groups have net book value in excess of undiscounted future net cash flows. Our evaluations did not indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. Beginning2021, filed with the third quarter of 2020, conditions related to the pandemic and oil price environment stabilized and in the fourth quarter industry conditions marginally improved. Similarly, during the first nine months of 2021, we have not seen indications in the industry that would indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. As a result, we did not identify additional events or conditions that would require us to perform a Step 1 evaluation as of September 30, 2021. We will continue to monitor the expected future cash flows and the fair market value of our asset groups for impairment.SEC on March 9, 2022.

Segment Changes

In conjunction with the acquisition of ContentsSPO, the previous Middle East/Asia Pacific segment has been split into the Middle East segment and the Asia Pacific segment. Our previous operations in Southeast Asia and Australia, along with the legacy SPO operations in the Asia Pacific region, now form the new Asia Pacific segment. Our segment disclosures reflect the current segment alignment for all periods presented.

Each of our five operating segments is managed by a senior executive reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and our Chief Executive Officer uses the results of each of the operating segments for resource allocation and performance evaluation.

Overall, we have sixhad 54 more average active vessels working in the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 than duringin the samesecond quarter of 2020. The increased capacity was supplemented by increased active utilization from 78.2% in 2020 to 81.6% in 2021. Average day rates decreased slightlyincreased from $10,503$10,435 per day in 20202021 to $10,288$12,544 in 2021.2022. Active utilization increased from 78.4% in 2021 to 82.5% in 2022.

Vessel operating costs for the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were $65.3$100.3 million and $61.8$64.3 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increase in vessel activity, as we have six54 more active vessels in our fleet in the thirdsecond quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 comparedprimarily due to the third quarter of 2020. There was higher than normal repairadditional vessels from the SPO acquisition and maintenance cost in the quarter and we have also reactivated vessels as a result of new contracts.our continued recovery from the low vessel utilization levels caused by the pandemic and increased activity as higher crude oil prices has resulted in more activity from our customers.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were $28.0$31.8 million and $30.8$28.5 million, respectively, with the difference largely due to an increase in depreciation expense because of a higher vessel count resulting from the saleSPO acquisition partially offset by lower amortization of ten vessels from our active fleet in 2021.deferred drydock expenditures.

 

General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were $18.0$27.8 million and $17.4$16.8 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higherincreased general and administrative costs associated with the Singapore and Dubai offices acquired in the SPO acquisition and professional fees.fees and transaction costs related to the SPO acquisition which totaled $7.2 million for the quarter.

 

Included in gain (loss)loss on asset dispositions, net for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, are $0.1$1.3 million of net losses from the disposal of sixfour vessels and other assets.

This vessel was sold for proceeds of $11.4 million, all of which was collected in the second quarter of 2021, and 2020, werewe recognized a $2.2gain of $4.3 million and $1.9 million expense, respectively. The expense in 2021 is due to $1.9 million impairment of vessels designated as assets held for sale offset by $1.7 million of recovered impairment of a vessel reactivated and added back toon the active fleet from assets held for sale and $1.9 million of impairment expense related to obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory. In the prior year quarter we recorded $1.9 million of impairment expense related to obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory.sale.

 

Interest expense for the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, was $3.7$4.3 million and $6.1$3.9 million, respectively.

We recognized a $14.2 million loss to value the warrant liability at fair value on the date that we amended the SPO share purchase agreement to allow us to reclassify the warrants from liabilities to equity based on the difference in the Tidewater common stock price on amendment date and the acquisition date closing common stock price.

 

During the quartersquarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020,2022, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $0.5$1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively.during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 we recognized foreign exchange gains of $0.4 million.

 

The income tax expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was $0.9$6.6 million compared to an income tax expense of $6.0 million for the three months ending SeptemberJune 30, 2020. The decrease of $5.1 million resulted from a benefit recognized from the resolution of an uncertain tax provision during the quarter.2021. The tax expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 is mainly attributable to foreign taxes that are calculated on the basis of deemed profit or minimum tax regimes or withholding tax on revenue instead of taxable income or loss. Additionally, the inability to offset profits in one country with losses in a different country contributes to having a tax liability despite large consolidated pre-tax losses.

The decreasedincreased revenue was primarily attributable to two lesssix more average active vessels (less than one from the SPO acquisition, which had revenue of $1.8 million) combined with 4% lowerhigher average day rates and slightly lowerhigher active utilization. The decreases in revenue are almost entirelyutilization largely due the resultdemand recovery with higher crude oil prices and the reduction of lower demand caused by the effect of the pandemic, although demand in this segment is beginningCOVID-19 restrictions. Active utilization increased from 86.5% to recover as evidenced by the increase in third quarter revenue of 2021.89.7% and average day rates increased 11.3%.

 

The Europe/Mediterranean segment reported an operating lossprofit of $12.9$1.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared to an operating loss of $4.1$10.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 due to decreased2021. The improved results are from the increase in revenue partially offset by slightly lower depreciation$8.0 million in higher operating costs associated with the increase in average vessels and amortization anda $0.3 million increase in general and administrative costs. The SPO vessel incurred $1.1 million in operating costs resulting primarily fromduring the decrease in active vesselsperiod. Depreciation and the intensive cost saving measures taken in 2020 in responseamortization decreased by $1.0 million due to the effect of the pandemiclower drydock amortization.

Average day rates decreased 14% dueThe SPO acquisition added eight vessels to the changeaverage vessel count and contributed $19.7 million in the mix of remaining contracts.revenue. West Africa segment active utilization increased as well from 62.7%60.8% during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 to 64.4%81.3% during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022. In addition, average day rates increased 15.7%. The increases in revenue are due to the addition of the SPO vessels, the higher demand caused by reduced restrictions from the pandemic and the higher price of crude oil.

West Africa reported an operating profit of $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an operating loss of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Vessel Utilization and Average Day Rates by Segment

 

Vessel utilization is determined primarily by market conditions and to a lesser extent by drydocking requirements. Vessel day rates are determined by the demand created largely through the level of offshore exploration, field development and production spending by energy companies relative to the supply of offshore support vessels. Specifications of available equipment and the scope of service provided may also influence vessel day rates. Vessel utilization rates are calculated by dividing the number of days a vessel works during a reporting period by the number of days the vessel is available to work in the reporting period. As such, stacked vessels depress utilization rates because stacked vessels are considered available to work and are included in the calculation of utilization rates. Average day rates are calculated by dividing the revenue a vessel earns during a reporting period by the number of days the vessel worked in the reporting period.

 

Total vessel utilization is calculated on all vessels in service (which includes stacked vessels, vessels held for sale and vessels in drydock) but dodoes not include vessels owned by joint ventures (3(one and three vessels at both SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020)respectively). Active utilization is calculated on active vessels (which excludes vessels held for sale)sale and stacked vessels). Average day rates are calculated based on total vessel days worked.

Average active vessels exclude stacked vessels. We consider a vessel to be stacked if the vessel crew is furloughed or substantially reduced and limited maintenance is being performed on the vessel. We reduce operating costs by stacking vessels when management does not foresee opportunities to profitably or strategically operate the vessels in the near future. Vessels are stacked when market conditions warrant and they are no longer considered stacked when they are returned to active service, sold, or otherwise disposed. When economically practical marketing opportunities arise, the stacked vessels can be returned to active service by performing any necessary maintenance on the vessel and either rehiring or returning fleet personnel to operate the vessel. Although not currently fulfilling charters, stacked vessels are included in the calculation of utilization statistics. We also include our assets held for sale in stacked vessels as they continue to incur stacking related costs. We had 3214 (nine held for sale) and 6040 (14 held for sale) stacked vessels at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The decrease in stacked vessels is primarily attributable to vessel sales but we haveand reactivation of vessels. We also reactivated severalreclassified three vessels in 2021.2021 and one vessel in 2022 from assets held for sale to the active fleet. Total stacking costs included in vessel operating costs for the three months and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021, were $2.7$0.7 million and $11.8$3.8 million, respectively. Total stacking costs included in vessel operating costs for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202022 and 2021, were $9.8$2.1 million and $18.0$9.2 million, respectively.

Vessel Dispositions

 

We seek opportunities to sell and/or responsibly recycle our older vessels when market conditions warrant and opportunities arise. The majority of our vessels are sold to buyers who do not compete with us in the offshore energy industry. Vessels sales during the first ninesix months of 20212022 included nine vessels that were classified as assets held for sale and ten vessels from our active fleet.sale.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

 

Availability of Cash

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had $153.7$91.8 million in cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), including amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which is available to us without adverse tax consequences. Included in foreign subsidiary cash are balances held in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies that await repatriation due to various currency conversion and repatriation constraints, partner and tax related matters, prior to the cash being made available for remittance to our domestic accounts. We currently intend that earnings by foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions in order to fund strategic initiatives (such as investment, expansion and acquisitions), fund working capital requirements and repay third-party and intercompany debt of our foreign subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Moreover, we do not currently intend to repatriate earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the U. S. because cash generated from our domestic businesses and the repayment of intercompany liabilities from foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be sufficient to fund the cash needs of our operationsU.S. operations. The SPO acquisition closed in the U. S.April 2022 and decreased our net cash position by $28.5 million.

 

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain and preserve adequate financial resources and sufficient levels of liquidity. We do notIn addition to our cash on hand, we also have a $25.0 million revolving credit facility which matures in 2026. No amounts have been drawn on this facility. As of June 30, 2022, we had $175.0 million of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet of which none is due until 2026. The 2026 Senior Secured Notes and the revolving credit facility contain two financial covenants: (i) a minimum free liquidity test of the obligors (as defined) equal to the greater of $20.0 million or 10% of net interest-bearing debt and (ii) a minimum equity ratio of 30%, in each case for us and our consolidated subsidiaries. We are currently in compliance and anticipate being able to maintain ongoing compliance with these two financial covenants. Cash and cash equivalents, our revolving credit facility and future net cash provided by operating activities provide us, in our opinion, with sufficient liquidity to meet our liquidityongoing operational requirements.

Debt

As of September 30, 2021, we had $155.1 million of debt, net of discount, on our consolidated balance sheet. Of this amount, our Senior Secured Notes total $135.2 million, which is due in August 2022 with an expected refinance in November 2021. The Senior Secured Notes have a quarterly minimum trailing year interest coverage requirement, however compliance with this covenant has been waived through December 31, 2021. Minimum liquidity requirements and other covenants are set forth in the amended Indenture. In addition, we have $23.5available a “shelf” registration under which we may offer and sell up to $300.0 million of long-termany combination of common stock, debt securities, depository shares, preferred stock or warrants from time to time in a subsidiaryone or more classes or series or amounts, at prices and on terms that is collateralized by certainwe will determine at the time of the subsidiary’s vessels. This debt has similar covenants asoffering. We also have an “at-the-market” offering registered with the Senior Secured Notes.

During the quarter,SEC under which we reclassified the Senior Secured Notes to current portionmay offer and sell shares of long-term debt as the notes mature in August 2022. Our current Senior Secured Notes are expected to be redeemed withour common stock, having an aggregate offering proceeds of our new Nordic Bond offering. On October 8, 2021, we announcedup to $30.0 million from time to time through the contemplated private offering of USD $175.0 million in 5-year senior secured bonds inagents acting as a sales agent or directly to the Nordic bond market, subjectagents acting as a principals. We expect to market and other conditions (the Nordic Bond Offering). On October 15, 2021, we announceduse the completion of pricing and terms of the Nordic Bond Offering. We anticipate that funding of the Nordic Bond Offering will occur on November 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The new bonds will mature in November 2026 and have a coupon rate of 8.5% per annum. The net proceeds from the Nordic Bond Offering will be employed to repaysale of the existing Senior Secured Notes and the Troms Offshore borrowings in full, including contractual make-whole premiums, with any remaining part thereof, appliedsecurities covered by these offerings for general corporate purposes.

We believe that the $153.7 million in cash on hand, plus cash generated from our operations and asset sales in 2021 and in the future will be sufficient to meet our obligations. The contemplatedpurposes, which may include repayment or refinancing of debt outstanding at September 30, 2021 as described above will improve our liquidity position and push our major debt maturities out for several years. Refer to Notes (9) and (16) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on our indebtedness.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, public tenders or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictionsindebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, investments, additional acquisitions and other factors.

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, any control system, no matter how well conceived and followed, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

As discussed in Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements herein, we completed the acquisition of SPO on April 22, 2022. We are in the process of assessing the internal controls of SPO as part of the post-close integration process but have excluded SPO from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. The total assets and revenues excluded from management's assessment represent 25% and 16%, respectively, of the total assets and revenues in the related consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On April 22, 2022, we completed the acquisition of SPO. Management has considered this transaction material to the results of operations, cash flows and financial position from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2022 and believes that the internal controls and procedures of the acquisition have a material effect on internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of incorporating the internal controls and procedures of SPO into the internal control over financial reporting for our assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting for December 31, 2023.

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
