ACQUISITION OF SWIRE PACIFIC OFFSHORE HOLDINGS LTD

 

On April 22, 2022 (MergerClosing Date), we acquired Swire Pacific Offshore Holdings Ltd., a limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (SPO), which ownsat closing owned 50 offshore support vessels operating primarily in West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. On the MergerClosing 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.stock (SPO acquisition warrants). In addition, we paid $19.6 million in cashat closing and received an $8.8 million post-closing working capital refund related to pre-closing working capital adjustments, for a total consideration of $223.5$215.5 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 MergerClosing Date under the acquisition method of accounting. The

As of March 31, 2023, the following recorded 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 the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates of their fair values as ofwere final, with no material measurement period adjustments made during the Merger Date and were as follows:quarter:

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.

STOCKHOLDERS' STOCKHOLDERS’EQUITY AND DILUTIVE EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

Earnings per share

In recent years through the second quarter of 2022, we reported annual and quarterly losses from operations and reported basic and diluted losses per share based on the actual average shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we reported net income from operations. Our fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is based on our weighted average common shares outstanding plus the common stock equivalent of our outstanding “in-the-money” warrants, restricted stock units and stock options.

No warrants, or restricted stock units or stock options, whether in the money or out of the money, are included in our lossearnings (loss) per share calculations becauseif 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

 

Income tax rates and taxation systems in the jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries conduct business vary and our subsidiaries are frequently subjected to minimum taxation regimes. In some jurisdictions, tax liabilities are based on gross revenues, statutory deemed profits or other factors, rather than on net income. 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 forFor the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, income tax expense reflects tax liabilities in various jurisdictions that are either based on either revenue (deemed profit regimes) or pre-tax profits.

 

The tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are primarily attributable to permanent establishment issues related to foreign 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, 20212022, our balance sheet reflected approximately $202.8$439.7 million of net deferred tax assets prior to a valuation allowance analysis, with a valuation allowance of $204.9$441.9 million. As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $258.6$450.0 million prior to a valuation allowance analysis of $260.9$452.2 million. The net deferred tax assets amounts as of June 30, 2022 March 31, 2023include $55.0$68.8 million of deferred tax assets from the SPO acquisition offset by a $55.0 million valuation allowance.allowance of $68.8 million.

 

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

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 March 2015.2016.

AFFILIATES BALANCES

Sonatide (Angola)

Prior to 2022, we participated in a joint venture in Angola (Sonatide) where we owned 49% of the joint venture and our partner Sonangol Holdings, LDA (Sonangol) owned 51%. In January 2022, we acquired the 51% equity interest in Sonatide owned by Sonangol, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement between Sonangol and us for $11.2 million in cash. This acquisition gives us complete control of our operations in Angola.

The acquisition date was January 3, 2022 (Sonatide Merger Date). However, we used a convenience date of January 1, 2022 for the acquisition and have recorded activity from the beginning of the first quarter of 2022. Revenues of Sonatide from 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 did not recognize a significant gain or loss as a result of remeasuring to the fair value of our equity interest. 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the Sonatide 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 included in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 under the caption “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 our consolidated results of operations for the year and six months ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, 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 property 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 (Nigeria)

In previous years, we had substantial activity in Nigeria and conducted our business through a joint venture (DTDW). In 2020, we ceased operations in Nigeria, but have continued to maintain and manage residual receivable and payable balances. We own 40% of DTDW which owns 1 offshore service vessel. Our partner, who owns 60%, is a Nigerian national. In the second quarter of 2022, we entered 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 balance against the due to affiliate balance on our consolidated balance sheet. The net due from balance equals the net due to balance at June 30, 2022 and, as a result, there is a net zero balance in our net due to due from accounts on our consolidated balance sheet.

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.

 

During the second quarter of 2023, we executed an agreement with a third-party insurance company who agreed to assume all remaining liability under our pension plan for approximately 500 individuals in exchange for a $11.8 million payment made by the pension plan. We expect to recognize a settlement gain in the second quarter of 2023 in connection with this transaction.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

We also support a non-contributory and non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan (supplemental plan) whichthat was closed to new participants during 2010. We contributed $0.8 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect to contribute $0.8$0.4 million to the supplemental plan during each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and expect to contribute $1.2 million during the remainder of 2022.2023. Our obligations under the supplemental plan were $22.5 million and $22.7$17.3 million at June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, 2022, respectively, and are included in “accrued expenses” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

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 legalWe are named defendants or parties in certain lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and claims are outstanding which aroseinvolved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. InAlthough the opinionoutcome of management,such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of ultimateany liability if any,that could arise with respect to these actions, willsuch lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating 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 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-year 8.75% PEMEX corporate bonds (PEMEX Note). As part of this agreement, we are not allowed to sell theThe PEMEX Note for 90 days from issuance and have determined that it should beis classified as “available for sale.” At June 30, 2022March 31, 2023, we recorded a $0.8$0.1 million in mark-to-market loss in other comprehensive income. We discloseincome, valuing the fair value ofPEMEX Note at $8.0 million in our long-term debt inconsolidated balance sheet. The PEMEX Note mark-to-market valuations are considered to be Level 102. and the fair value of our assets held for sale in Note 15.

PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT, ACCRUED EXPENSES, OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

 

As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023, our property and equipment consist primarily of 187183 active vessels, which excludes the 9three vessels we have classified as held for sale, located around the world. As of December 31, 2021, 2022, our property and equipment consisted primarily of 135183 active vessels, which excluded 18eight vessels classified as held for sale. In April 2023, we took delivery of two new build offshore tugs to be employed in our African market. We made a $2.3 million down payment to the shipyard at inception of construction in December 2021 and incurred approximately $9.2 million of debt with the shipyard upon delivery of the tugs in April 2023. In addition, we have six Alucat crew boats under construction for which we have made down payments totaling approximately $3.6 million in 2022 and 2023 and will incur debt with the shipyard upon deliveries in 2023 and 2024 totaling approximately $14.1 million. These crew boats, upon completion, will be employed in our African market.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF OPERATIONS

 

Segment Changes

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of SPO discussed in(see Note 3 the previous), we split our 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 5five 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 sixmonths ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 20212022. 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

 

During the sixthree months ending June 30,March 31, 2023, we sold or recycled five of our vessels held for sale, leaving three vessels valued at $0.7 million remaining in the held for sale account as of March 31, 2023. The total vessel and other sales for the three-month period ending March 31, 2023 contributed approximately $5.7 million in proceeds and we recognized a net $2.2 million gain on the dispositions. In the three-month period ending March 31, 2022, we added 1 vessel from the SPO fleet to assets held for sale, sold or recycled 9five of our vessels held for sale, and re-activated 1one vessel from assets held for sale back into the active fleet, leaving 9 vessels valued at $6.9 million remaining in the held for sale account as of June 30, 2022. In addition, we sold 0 vessels from our active fleet in the six month period ending June 30, 2022. We sold 8 vessels from assets held for sale and 5 vessels from our active fleet in the six month period ending 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 vessel sales in the second quarter of 2021, was to a third-party operator, whose Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Rigdon, is the son of Larry Rigdon, the chairman of our Board of Directors. This vessel was sold for proceeds of $11.4 million, all of which was collected in the second quarter of 2021, and we recognized a gain of $4.3 million on the sale.fleet.

 

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 estimate the net realizable value of our assets held for sale using various methodologies including third party appraisals, sales comparisons, sales agreements and scraprecycle yard tonnage prices. Estimates generally fall in ranges rather than exact numbers due to the nature of sales of offshore vessels and industry conditions. Our value ranges depend on our expectation of the ultimate disposition of the vessel. We will 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 effort required to achieve a sale and the costs incurred to maintain a vessel while a searching for a buyer. We establish ranges that in many cases have scraprecycle value as the low end of the range and an expected open market sale value at the top of the range. When there is no expectation within the range that is considered more likely than any other, we apply equal probability weighting to the low and high ends of the valuation range. In addition, in conjunction with the reactivation of a vessel from assets held for sale to the active fleet in the first quarter of 2022 and the concurrent valuation of such vessel at its fair value, we recaptured $0.5 million of impairment charged to 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.

SOLSTAD VESSEL ACQUISITION

On March 7, 2023, we entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Vessels, Charter Parties and Other Assets (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Solstad Offshore ASA, a Norwegian public limited company (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire from the Sellers 37 platform supply vessels (“Vessels”) currently owned by the Sellers and the charter parties governing certain of such Vessels for an aggregate cash purchase price of $577.0 million (subject to adjustments) plus customary extras, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2023 subject to customary closing conditions including, among others, our receipt of proceeds sufficient to pay the purchase price from, in our sole discretion, acceptable financing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Tidewater

 

We are one of the most experienced international operators in the offshore energy industry with a history spanning over 65 years. 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 June 30, 2022, we owned 196 vessels with an average age of 11.3 years (excluding one joint venture vessel, but including five stacked vessels and nine vessels designated as assets held for sale) available to serve the global energy industry. We also have two vessels currently under construction. The average age of our 187 active vessels at June 30, 2022 is 11.1 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 iswas exercisable at $0.001 per share for one share of our common stock.stock (SPO acquisition warrants). In addition, we paid $19.6 million in cashat closing and received an $8.8 million post-closing working capital refund related to pre-closing working capital adjustments. Theadjustments, for a total consideration of $215.5 million. In 2022, we completed two public offerings of approximately 8.1 million shares combined of our common stock and, coupled with a small redemption of SPO acquisition warrants related to indemnified liabilities, redeemed 100% of the outstanding SPO acquisition warrants. All of the net proceeds from the public equity offerings were used to redeem SPO acquisition warrants.

On March 7, 2023, we entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Vessels, Charter Parties and Other Assets (Solstad Purchase Agreement) with certain subsidiaries of Solstad Offshore ASA, a Norwegian public limited company (Solstad), pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to acquire 37 platform supply vessels from Solstad for an aggregate cash portionpurchase price of $577.0 million (subject to adjustments) plus customary extras, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2023 subject to customary closing conditions including, among others, our receipt of proceeds sufficient to pay the purchase price is subjectfrom, in our sole discretion, acceptable financing.

At March 31, 2023, we owned 186 vessels with an average age of 11.8 years (including five stacked vessels and three vessels designated as assets held for sale) which are available to customary post-closing adjustment mechanisms related to SPO’s closing date working capital, cashserve the global energy industry. At March 31, 2023, the average age of our 183 active vessels at was 11.6 years. In addition, we took delivery of two offshore tugs in April 2023 and indebtedness.have six crew boats currently under construction.

MD&A Objective and Principal Factors That Drive Our Results, Cash Flows and Liquidity

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A)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 objective throughout the MD&A is to discuss how these factors affected our historical results and, where applicable, how we expect these factors to impact our future results and future liquidity.

 

Our revenues in all segments are driven primarily by our active fleet size, active 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 affectimpacting 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.

 

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.

 

We discuss our liquidity in terms of cash flow that we generate from our operations. 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. From time to time, we also 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.

Industry Conditions and Outlook

As we look forward into 2023, we believe the macro environment remains volatile with elevated recession risk for major developed economies. Despite these potential challenges, we expect the supply-demand balance in the global offshore oil and gas markets to continue to tighten after several years of low commodity prices and underinvestment in offshore activities by the major oil and gas producers. Factors driving this outlook include demand for hydrocarbons continuing to grow internationally, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+) remaining proactive in maintaining adequate and stable oil prices, combined with a diminishing global supply of vessels to support the offshore energy industry. In addition, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the related economic sanctions have highlighted the criticality of energy reliability and security across Europe and the U.S.

 

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,prices and the condition of the energy markets and, in particular, the willingness of energy companies to spend on operational activities and capital projects. Crude 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. Offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities have traditionally requiredgenerally require higher oil or natural gas prices to justify the much higher expenditure levels and longer lead times from exploration to production associated withof offshore activities compared to onshore activities. Oil and gas pricesPrices are subject to significant uncertainty extreme price cycles and geopolitical risk, and, as a result, can beare extremely volatile. In general,Over the industry considers crudepast several years, oil and natural gas commodity pricing has been affected by a global pandemic which included lock downs by major oil consuming nations, a war in excesseastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine, OPEC production quotas, capital discipline within the major oil and gas companies, inflationary economies of $50.0 per barrelmajor consuming nations and increased activism related to be requiredthe perceived oil and gas sector responsibility for climate change. These factors have at various times caused or exacerbated significant swings in oil and gas pricing, which in turn has affected the capital budgets of oil and gas companies.

Energy prices in 2023 are expected to initiate modest offshore development programs. Prices in excess of $75.0 per barrel are generally consideredcontinue 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 $100.0 per barrel to less than $30.0 per barrel beginning an industry-wide downturn that lasted several years. Prices began to stabilizevolatility experienced in the $50.0last few years due to $60.0 per barrel rangeongoing geopolitical conflicts, the continued relaxation of worldwide restrictions put in 2019place during the pandemic, generalized price level increases and early 2020, suggesting a returnrelated interest rate adjustments from the world's central banks to explorationaddress these increases, and production activities for our customers. However,uncertainties about the rate of growth in key world economies.

This action was severely impacted bywidely recognized as a global pandemic (COVID-19) and the resulting loss of demand and decrease insignal that OPEC will attempt to maintain crude oil prices. Oil prices declined severely in the second quarter of 2020, trading at below $20.0above $80.00 per barrel. Oil prices recovered in 2021 to levels greater than experienced since 2018, and in the first half of 2022In addition, periodic economic recession rumors repeatedly have traded in a volatile range between $90.0 and $125.0 per barrel. Natural gas prices are also at historic highs.put downward pressure on oil prices.

 

In the first quarter of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, initiating a military conflict that continues. Russia is the most significant non-OPEC member of OPEC+addition, pressure on us and is one of the largest producers of oil and natural gas in the world. It is also a primary supplier of natural gasour customers continues 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 pressurerise from certain shareholders and other stakeholders, including governmental entities, on our customers related tovarious 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(i) indicated changes in their future business plans to move towardachieve 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 haveimpact; (ii) responded to pressure to return capital to shareholders in the wake of the 2014 downturn and subsequent industry challenges, they haveand; (iii) 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 and renewable energy source development.

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 operators 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 developpursued 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. ThereAlthough our business is impacted by a number of macro factors, including those factors discussed here, which influence our outlook and expectations given the current evidence of higher oilvolatile conditions in our industry, our fleet is currently close to full utilization and gas demand which has resultedour day rates have increased in increased commodity pricing and increased customer activity offshore.recent quarters. We are optimisticof the opinion that the underlying fundamentals, particularly energy source supply and demand, will support a multi-year increase in offshore upstream development spending. Our outlook expectations are based on the market as we see it today and subject to changing conditions in and impacting 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. 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 our year 2021 revenues by less than 3%. Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were not significantly impacted. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2021, and the six months ended June 30, 2022 we incurred approximately $7.0 million and $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 or delays. There may be additional cancellations or delays.industry.

 

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.industry, which is the primary source of energy in the world. 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 energy transition, but also toincluding an increased focus on natural gas, and at the same time continue to support the fossil fueloil industry. We have begun to takestarted taking measures to address the future of our company and our impact on climate change. Such measures include modifications tochange, including modifying many of our vessels to reduce our carbon footprint (approximately $10.9$18.1 million of emissions focused costs including fuel monitoring systems and batteries for supplemental power are included in our net properties and equipment amount as of June 30, 2022)March 31, 2023); developing associations withand providing support to offshore alternative energy providers, such as windfarms; and publication of a written sustainability report. We have also recently formed an ESG committee withinwindfarms. In addition, in June 2022, our Board of Directors.Directors formed an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee to oversee and support our ESG strategy, initiatives and reporting, and in March 2023, we published our 2022 Sustainability Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

In November 2020, the SEC issued a final rule to Regulation S-K which permits the option to discuss material changes to results of operations between the current and immediately preceding quarter. We have elected to discuss our results of operations on a sequential-quarter basis starting with this quarterly report. We believe the implementation of this approach will provide more meaningful and useful information to investors to measure performance from the immediately preceding quarter. In addition, to provide year-over-year consistency and in accordance with SEC requirements, the following discussion also includes a comparison of our first quarter 2023 financial results to our first quarter 2022 financial results. In accordance with the final rule, however, we will not include in future filings a comparison of the current quarter and the same prior-year quarter.

 

Segment Changes

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of SPO in the previoussecond quarter of 2022, we split our 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.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to June 30, 2021

March 31, 2022

 

Revenues for the quarters ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 were $163.4$193.1 million and $90.0$105.7 million, respectively. The $73.4$87.4 million increase in revenue is primarily due to the SPO acquisition of 5049 active vessels in the SPO acquisition and to increases in utilization and average day rates and active vessels.across most of our vessel fleet. Overall, we had 5449 more average active vessels in the secondfirst quarter of 20222023 than in the secondfirst quarter of 2021.2022. Average day rates increased by 36.8%, from $10,435$10,687 per day in 20212022 to $12,544$14,624 in 2022.2023. Active utilization increaseddecreased slightly from 78.4%82.5% in 20212022 to 82.5%80.6% in 2023, primarily due to a heavy drydock schedule in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022.

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 does not include vessels owned by joint ventures (one and three vessels at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively). Active utilization is calculated on active vessels (which excludes vessels held for sale and stacked vessels). Average day rates are calculated based on total vessel days worked.

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.ongoing. 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 14 (nineeight (three held for sale), 18 (12 held for sale) and 40 (1413 (eight held for sale) stacked vessels at June 30,March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and 2021,December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in stacked vessels is attributable to vessel sales and reactivation of vessels. We also reclassified three vessels in 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 ended June 30,March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and 2021,December 31, 2022, were $0.7 million, $1.4 million, and $3.8$0.7 million respectively. Total stacking costs included in vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $2.1 million and $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. VesselsVessel sales during the first sixthree months of 20222023 included ninefive vessels that were classified as assets held for sale.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

 

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $91.8$172.7 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 liabilitiesreceivables from foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be sufficient to fund the cash needs of our U.S. operations. The SPO acquisition closed in 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. In addition to our cash on hand, we also have a $25.0 million revolving credit facility whichthat matures in 2026. No amounts have been drawn on this facility. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $175.0 million of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, none 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 ongoing operational requirements. In addition, we have available a “shelf” registration under which we may offer and sell up to $300.0 million of any combination of common stock, debt securities, depository shares, preferred stock or warrants from time to time in one or more classes or series or amounts, at prices and on terms that we will determine at the time of the offering. We also have an “at-the-market” offering registered with the SEC under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering proceeds of up to $30.0 million from time to time through the agents acting as a sales agent or directly to the agents acting as a principals. Weprincipal. A key component of our growth strategy is expanding our business and fleets through acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions and we would expect to use the net proceeds from theany sale of theour securities covered by these offerings for general corporate purposes, which may includeincluding capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, repayment or refinancing of indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, investments, additional acquisitions and other business opportunities.

 In furtherance of this strategy and as discussed above, on March 7, 2023, we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with, Solstad pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire 37 platform supply vessels for an aggregate cash purchase price of $577.0 million (subject to adjustments), plus customary extras, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2023 subject to customary closing conditions including, among others, our receipt of proceeds sufficient to pay the purchase price from, in our sole discretion, acceptable financing. We expect to use a combination of debt and cash on hand to close the transaction, with the expectation that our cash flows from the acquired vessels will be sufficient to service any new debt.

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 June 30, 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.March 31, 2023.

 

Changes in Internal ControlControls Over Financial Reporting

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

 

There has been no change in our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.
