GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

 

1.

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Great Lakes”) and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature (except as otherwise noted), that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, and its results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 have been included.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which, among other things, includes various tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer side of certain payroll taxes and social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company has elected to defer the employer side of certain payroll taxes and is continually assessing the financial impact of these tax-related changes. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 but the uncertainty that surrounds this virus means that the Company must continue to monitor and assess any potential future impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The components of costs of contract revenues include labor, equipment (including depreciation, maintenance, insurance and long-term rentals), subcontracts, fuel, supplies, short-term rentals and project overhead. Hourly labor is generally hired on a project-by-project basis. Costs of contract revenues vary significantly depending on the type and location of work performed and assets utilized.

The Company has 1 operating segment which is also the Company’s reportable segment and reporting unit of which the Company tests goodwill for impairment. The Company performed its most recent annual test of impairment as of July 1, 2020 with no indication of impairment as of the test date. The Company will perform its next scheduled annual test of goodwill in the third quarter of 2021.

On August 4, 2020, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to an aggregate amount of $75.0 million of its common stock from time to time through July 31, 2021.

The condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established by GAAP that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The accounting guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. At times, the Company holds certain derivative contracts that it uses to manage commodity price risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The fair values of these financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Fuel hedge contracts

The Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily commodity price risk as it relates to diesel fuel purchase requirements, which occur in the normal course of business. The Company enters into heating oil commodity swap contracts to hedge the risk that fluctuations in diesel fuel prices could have an adverse impact on cash flows associated with its domestic dredging contracts. The Company’s typical goal is to hedge approximately 80% of the fuel requirements for work in domestic backlog.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company was party to various swap arrangements to hedge the price of its diesel fuel purchase requirements for work in its backlog to be performed through September 2021.June 2022. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there were 11.68.7 million gallons remaining on these contracts which represent approximately 80% of the Company’s forecasted domestic fuel purchases through September 2021.June 2022. Under these swap agreements, the Company will pay fixed prices ranging from $1.12$1.22 to $2.00$1.90 per gallon.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the fair value liability of the fuel hedge contracts was estimated to be $2,917,2021 and is recorded in accrued expenses. At December 31, 2019,2020 the fair value asset of the fuel hedge contracts waswere estimated to be $849,$4,802 and is$1,739, respectively, and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. For fuel hedge contracts considered to be highly effective, the losses reclassified to earnings from changes in fair value of derivatives, net of cash settlements and taxes, for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 were $5,338.$3,404. The remaining gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months, corresponding to the period during which the hedged fuel is expected to be utilized. Changes in the fair value of fuel hedge contracts not considered highly effective are recorded as cost of contract revenues in the Statement of Operations. The fair values of fuel hedges are corroborated using inputs that are readily observable in public markets; therefore, the Company determines fair value of these fuel hedges using Level 2 inputs.


The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with non-performance of its various derivative instruments. The Company’s risk would be limited to any unrealized gains on current positions. To help mitigate this risk, the Company transacts only with counterparties that are rated as investment grade or higher. In addition, all counterparties are monitored on a continuous basis.

The fair value of the fuel hedge contracts outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 is as follows:

Other financial instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Based on timing of the cash flows and comparison to current market interest rates, the carrying value of our revolving credit agreement approximates fair value. In May 2017,2021 the Company issued a total of $325,000 of 8% senior notes due May 15, 2022,5.25% Senior Notes, which were outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 (see Note 4, Long-term debt). The 8% Senior2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the 8% Senior2029 Notes. The fair value of the senior notes was $333,278$334,783 at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement as the senior notes’ value was obtained using quoted prices in active markets. It is impracticable to determine the fair value of outstanding letters of credit or performance, bid and payment bonds due to uncertainties as to the amount and timing of future obligations, if any.

Share-based compensation

On May 11, 2017,5, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation 20172021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which previously had been approved by the Company’s board of directors subject to stockholder approval. The Incentive Plan replaces the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and is largely based on the Prior Plan, but with updates to the available shares and other administrative changes. The Incentive Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to the Company’s employees and directors for up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, plus the number of shares that remained available for future grant under the Prior Plan as of the effectiveness of the Incentive Plan.

The Prior Plan permitted the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to the Company’s employees and directors for up to 3.3 million shares of common stock, plus an additional 1.7 million shares underlying equity awards issued under the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company granted 790307 thousand restricted stock units to certain employees. In addition, all non-employee directors on the Company’s board of directors are paid a portion of their board-related compensation in stock grants or restricted stock units. Compensation cost charged to expense related to share-based compensation arrangements was $1,761$798 and $1,615$1,455 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.  Compensation cost charged to expense related to share-based compensation arrangements was $4,891$2,564 and $5,234$3,130 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Commitments and contingencies

Commercial commitments

Performance and bid bonds are customarily required for dredging and marine construction projects, as well as some environmental & infrastructure projects. The Company has bonding agreements with Argonaut Insurance Company, Berkley Insurance Company, Chubb Surety and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, under which the Company can obtain performance, bid and payment bonds. The Company also has outstanding bonds with Travelers Casualty, Surety Company of America and Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”).Company. Bid bonds are generally obtained for a percentage of bid value and amounts outstanding typically range from $1,000 to $10,000. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had outstanding performance bonds with a notional amount of approximately $1,254,315 of which $17,401 relates to projects from the Company’s historical environmental & infrastructure businesses.$1,143,833. The revenue value remaining in backlog related to these projects totaled approximately $593,142.


In connection with the sale of its historical demolition business, the Company was obligated to keep in place the surety bonds on pending demolition projects for the period required under the respective contract for a project and issued Zurich a letter of credit related to this exposure. In February 2017, the Company was notified by Zurich of an alleged default triggered on a historical demolition surety performance bond in the aggregate of approximately $20,000 for failure of the contractor to perform in accordance with the terms of a project. In May 2017, Zurich drew upon the letter of credit in the amount of $20,881. In order to fund the draw on the letter of credit in May 2017, the Company had to increase the borrowings on its revolving credit facility. As the outstanding letters of credit previously reduced the Company’s availability under the revolving credit facility, this draw down on the Company’s letter of credit did not impact its liquidity or capital availability.

Pursuant to the terms of sale of its historical demolition business, the Company received an indemnification commitment from the buyer for losses resulting from the bonding arrangement. In April 2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion for entry of final judgment in the amount of $21,934 based upon the buyer’s default of its obligations to indemnify the Company for losses resulting from the bonding arrangement. In May 2020, the Court entered that final judgment, and in June 2020, Defendants filed a notice of appeal from that judgment.The Company cannot estimate the amount or range of collectible recoveries related to the indemnification. It does, however, intend to oppose the appeal and aggressively pursue collection from the buyer for such payment.$454,402.

Certain foreign projects performed by the Company have warranty periods, typically spanning no more than one to three years beyond project completion, whereby the Company retains responsibility to maintain the project site to certain specifications during the warranty period. Generally, any potential liability of the Company is mitigated by insurance, shared responsibilities with consortium partners, and/or recourse to owner-provided specifications.

Legal proceedings and other contingencies

As is customary with negotiated contracts and modifications or claims to competitively bid contracts with the federal government, the government has the right to audit the books and records of the Company to ensure compliance with such contracts, modifications, or claims, and the applicable federal laws. The government has the ability to seek a price adjustment based on the results of such audit. Any such audits have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company will defend itself vigorously on all matters. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could ultimately be decided, resolved, or settled adversely to the Company. Although the Company is subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business, except as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings or environmental claims. The Company records an accrual when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


On April 23, 2014, the Company completed the sale of NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”) and Yankee Environmental Services, LLC (“Yankee”), which together comprised the Company’s historical demolition business, to a privately owned demolition company. On January 14, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, NASDI Holdings, LLC, brought an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery to enforce the terms of the Company's agreement to sell NASDI and Yankee. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received cash of $5,309 and retained the right to receive additional proceeds based upon future collections of outstanding accounts receivable and work in process existing at the date of close. The Company seeks specific performance of the buyer’s obligation to collect and to remit the additional proceeds, and other related relief. Defendants have filed counterclaims alleging that the Company misrepresented the quality of its contracts and receivables prior to the sale. The Company denies defendants’ allegations. In addition, the Company has been granted a judgment in the amount of $21,934 based upon the buyer’s default of its obligations to indemnify the Company for losses resulting from failure to perform in accordance with terms of surety performance bond. The defendants filed a notice of appeal from that judgement. The Company continues to aggressively pursue collection from the buyer on outstanding amounts owed under the sale and the indemnification. An estimate of a range of potential gains or losses relating to these matters cannot reasonably be made.

In June 2019,On April 22, 2021, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana informed the Company that it intends to file criminal chargesfiled a bill of information against the Company in connectioncharging the Company with a negligent discharge violation of the Clean Water Act arising from a September 2016 oil spill. The oil spill occurred during the Company’s Cheniere Ronquille project allegedly resultingand resulted in the discharge of around 160one hundred sixty barrels of crude oil in Bay Long, Louisiana. The Company has cooperated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and other relevant agencies in itstheir investigation of the oil spill and believes thaton June 15, 2021, the Company pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor violation alleged in the bill of information and agreed to pay a fine of $1,000. As a result, the government may initiate suspension or debarment proceedings against us, which might prohibit us from bidding for, entering into or completing certain government projects. The Company also remains subject to potential liability for restitution in connection with this criminal charges arematter and potential liability in a pending civil suit arising from the same matter. Although the Company does not warranted.know whether proceedings will be initiated or result in prohibitions, or the impact of any such resulting prohibitions, the Company does not expect any such proceedings or prohibitions to cause a material disruption to its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On September 27, 2019, the EPA Region 4 filed an administrative complaint against the Company relating to a project the Company performed at PortMiami from 2013-2015. The EPA is2013-2015 alleging violations of Section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (“MPRSA”) and failure to report violations of the MPRSA. The EPA has calculated and proposed thatIn July 2021, the administrative court issueparties executed a penalty in the total amount of $973. The Company disagrees with the EPA on whether violations occurred and, if any violation did occur, the appropriate penalty calculation.

Except as noted above,consent agreement wherein the Company has not accrued any amounts with respectagreed to the above matterspay $500 as the Company does not believe, based on information currently known to it, that a loss relating to these matters is probable, and an estimate of a range of potential losses relating to these matters cannot reasonably be made.civil penalty.


Lease obligations

The Company leases certain operating equipment and office facilities under long-term operating leases expiring at various dates through 2026.2030. The equipment leases contain renewal or purchase options that specify prices at the then fair value upon the expiration of the lease terms. The leases also contain default provisions that are triggered by an acceleration of debt maturity under the terms of the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement, or, in certain instances, cross default to other equipment leases and certain lease arrangements require that the Company maintain certain financial ratios comparable to those required by its Amended Credit Agreement. Additionally, the leases typically contain provisions whereby the Company indemnifies the lessors for the tax treatment attributable to such leases based on the tax rules in place at lease inception. The tax indemnifications do not have a contractual dollar limit. To date, no lessors have asserted any claims against the Company under these tax indemnification provisions.

General

The Company is the largest provider of dredging services in the United States. In addition, the Company has a long history of performing significant international projects. The mobility of the Company’s fleet enables the Company to move equipment in response to changes in demand for dredging services.

On October 22,In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company announced the upcoming relocation of its headquarters from Oak Brook, Illinois to Houston, Texas, with offices anticipated to openTexas. The Company’s new corporate office in earlyHouston opened in the first quarter of 2021. TheThis relocation will placeplaces the Company closer to key regional customers and new markets, especially along the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River.

Dredging generally involves the enhancement or preservation of navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. Domestically, our work generally is performed in coastal waterways and deep water ports. The U.S. dredging market consists of four primary types of work: capital, coastal protection, maintenance and rivers & lakes. The Company’s bid market is defined as the aggregate dollar value of domestic dredging projects on which the Company bid or could have bid if not for capacity constraints (“bid market”). The Company experienced an average combined bid market share in the U.S. of 39%37% over the prior three years, including 56%49%, 53%55%, 16%19% and 45%34% of the domestic capital, coastal protection, maintenance and rivers & lakes sectors, respectively.

The Company’s largest domestic dredging customer is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”), which has responsibility for federally funded projects related to navigation and flood control of U.S. waterways. In the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, the Company’s dredging revenues earned from contracts with federal government agencies, including the Corps as well as other federal entities such as the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy, were approximately 81%74% of dredging revenues, aboveslightly below the Company’s prior three year average of 74%79%.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread worldwide and to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and on March 13, 2020 the United States declared a national emergency in response to the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has severely impacted global economic activity and many countries and states in the United States have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating school and business closures and limiting travel.travel at various times throughout the pandemic.


On March 28, 2020, dredging was specifically listed in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s “Advisory Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response” which federally designates the Company as an essential business or “critical infrastructure” company that can maintain operations during the ongoing pandemic. As mentioned above, the Company’s largest domestic dredging customer is the Corps; the Corps oversees the majority of these critical infrastructure


projects and, in this capacity, has continued to follow their bid schedule and prioritize all types of dredging including port maintenance and expansion and coastal protection projects that are necessary to avoid potential storm damage during the current hurricane season. Despite the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, to date, the Corps is continuing to advertise new projects. During the first half of 2021 the Company began to experience increased project costs and delays related to COVID-19; currently, all affected projects and the Company’s project work is largely uninterrupted.are back in operation.

Senior management regularlyOur Executive Leadership team has established a COVID-19 Command Team that meets twice each week to update contingency plans, as necessary, and address the challenges related to maintaining operations in this evolving economic environment. The Company’s primary focus has been the health and safety of its employees. The Company has implemented new paid leave policies and additional sanitary and safety measures to mitigate the risk of infection to employees.

On vessels and job sites, the Company has instituted fewer employee shift changes and increased sanitary and social distancing measures. Although we haveIn the first half of 2021, the Company began to experience more significant operational interruptions and direct costs related to the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several vessel crews were infected despite extensive testing and isolation protocols. Vessels were required to go to shore for crew changes and the vessels had crew members on certainto be disinfected before returning to work. This impacted the vessels’ scheduling and availability which led to project delays. Currently, those projects and vessels that were impacted are completed and back in operation, respectively. The Company has initiated an extensive vaccination effort of our vessels contract COVID-19, such instances have not to date had a material impact on our business. crews and staff and the Company currently has 71% of its staff either fully vaccinated or partially vaccinated.

Since March 2020, the Company’s corporate employees have effectively transitioned to a remote working environment and have discontinued non-essential travel to follow recommended physical and social distancing guidelines in order to reduce the risk of infection. Beginning in the current quarter, the Company’s Houston employees began transitioning back to working in person at the Houston corporate headquarters.  The Company is following the protocols published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and state and local governments. As the Company’s employees, customers and communities are facing significant challenges, the Company cannot predict how COVID-19 will evolve or the impact it, or actions taken to contain it, will have on future results. As of September 30, 2020,Due to the Company’s business has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19, butuncertainty that surrounds this virus, the Company will be continually evaluating safety and operational contingency plans and the potential future impact that this evolving environment has on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has seen supportplans to participate in the offshore wind market and in March 2021 the Company awarded a contract for the dredging industrydesign and development of the first U.S. flagged Jones Act compliant, inclined fall-pipe vessel for subsea rock installation for wind turbine foundations. This vessel would represent a significant critical advancement in building the U.S. logistics infrastructure to support the future of the new U.S. offshore wind industry. Once the contract is fully executed, the Company expects delivery of the vessel in early 2024.  As of the current quarter, the Company has begun soliciting bids in the 2021 House Appropriations Bill, introduced in July 2020, which showed an increaseoffshore wind market.

The current administration has pushed to accelerate renewable energy developments and has set a target to install 30GW of $1.7 billion above the President’s budget request for the Corps.  Although the appropriations bill was not passed before the close ofoffshore wind energy generation capacity by 2030 on the U.S. federal government’s fiscal year,east coast.  Additionally, in March, the White House announced new initiatives that will advance the administration’s goals to expand the nation’s offshore wind energy capacity in the coming decade by opening new areas of development, improving environmental permitting and increasing public financing for projects.  

In July 2021, the Corps’ 2021 budget was approved by the House of Representatives at a record high proposed budget level of $8.66 billion.  In this bill, the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (the “HMTF”) would receive $2.05 billion. This record funding is not unusual, and as a result, the Corps is working under temporary funding, also known as a Continuing Resolution, to continue their work with minimal impactsin addition to the marketplace.  Theannual cap being lifted from the HMTF in 2020 and the 2020 Water Resource Development Act bill (WRDA), which(the “WRDA”).  WRDA authorizes new projects and makes policy changes that will make natural infrastructure and beneficial use of dredged material more common has progressed but is pending until after the 2020 U.S. general election. The campaigns for each presidential candidateand was included in the 2020 U.S. general election have been positiveConsolidated Appropriations Act 2021 signed into law on issuesDecember 27, 2020. This continues the trend of WRDA legislation in each session of Congress since 2014. The legislation provides access to the industry as both candidates have indicated support$9.3 billion in unspent HMTF tax collections, establishes a funds distribution process for the Jones Act as well as continued major investments in infrastructure including portsHMTF funding and dredging.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into an agreement and completed the sale of its historical environmental & infrastructure business. The historical environmental & infrastructure segment has been retrospectively presented as discontinued operations. Referapproves projects to Note 9, Business dispositions,proceed to our condensed consolidated financial statements.construction.

The Company has one operating segment which is also the Company’s one reportable segment and reporting unit.

The Company’s vessels are subject to periodic dry dock inspections to verify that the vessels have been maintained in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping (“ABS”) and that recommended repairs have been satisfactorily completed. Dry dock frequency is a statutory requirement mandated by the U.S. Coast Guard and the ABS. The Company’s vessels dry-dock every two to three years or every five years, depending on the vessel type and also on an as-needed basis for occasional unscheduled repairs. As expected, the Company completed several dry dock inspections in the third quarter of 2020 and returned those vessels to service in the fourth quarter. Additionally, some vessels remained in dry dock at quarter end with the expectation of returning to work in the fourth quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations, as provided herein, represents net income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, debt extinguishment, accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments, goodwill or asset impairments and gains on bargain purchase acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a measure derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as an additional measure by which to evaluate the Company’s operating trends. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a measure frequently used to evaluate performance of companies with substantial leverage and that the Company’s primary stakeholders (i.e., its stockholders, bondholders and banks) use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate the Company’s period to period performance. Additionally, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides a transparent measure of the Company’s recurring operating performance and allows management and investors to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For this reason, the Company uses a measure based upon Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to assess performance for purposes of determining compensation under the Company’s incentive plan. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with GAAP including: (a) operating income as an indicator of operating performance; or (b) cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. As such, the Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations, instead of a GAAP measure, has limitations as an analytical tool, including the inability to determine profitability or liquidity due to the exclusion of accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments, goodwill or asset impairments, gains on bargain purchase acquisitions, interest and income tax expense and the associated significant cash requirements and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent significant and unavoidable operating costs given the level of indebtedness and capital expenditures needed to maintain the Company’s business. For these reasons, the Company uses operating income to measure the Company’s operating performance and uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations only as a supplement. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income (loss):income:

Capital dredging consists primarily of port expansion projects, which involve the deepening of channels and berthing basins to allow access by larger, deeper draft ships and the provision of land fill used to expand port facilities. In addition to port work, capital projects also include coastal restoration and land reclamations, trench digging for pipelines, tunnels and cables, and other dredging related to the construction of breakwaters, jetties, canals and other marine structures. For the quarterthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, domestic capital dredging revenue was $98.2$79.4 million, up $35.7$16.0 million, or 57%25.2%, compared to $62.5$63.4 million for the same period in 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the higher domestic capital dredging revenue was primarily driven by greater revenue earned from deepening projects in Charleston and Jacksonville and a coastal restoration project in Mississippi in the current year when compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by a greater amount ofless revenue earned on deepening projects in Tampa, Corpus ChristiTexas, Delaware, and on the Delaware River during the same periodFlorida in the priorcurrent year.

Foreign capital projects typically involve land reclamations, channel deepening and port infrastructure development.

Maintenance dredging consists of the re-dredging of previously deepened waterways and harbors to remove silt, sand and other accumulated sediments. Due to natural sedimentation, most channels generally require maintenance dredging every one to three years, thus creating a recurring source of dredging work that is typically non-deferrable if optimal navigability is to be maintained. In addition, severe weather such as hurricanes, flooding and droughts can also cause the accumulation of sediments and drive the need for maintenance dredging. Maintenance revenue for the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 was $33.5$37.3 million, up $3.4down $4.7 million, or 11%11.2%, from $30.1

The Company’s contract backlog represents its estimate of the revenues that will be realized under the portion of the contracts remaining to be performed. These estimates are based primarily upon the time and costs required to mobilize the necessary assets to and from the project site, the amount and type of material to be dredged and the expected production capabilities of the equipment performing the work. However, these estimates are necessarily subject to variances based upon actual circumstances. Because of these factors, as well as factors affecting the time required to complete each job, backlog is not always indicative of future revenues or profitability. Also, 72% of the Company’s SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 dredging backlog relates to federal government contracts, which can be canceled at any time without penalty to the government, subject to the Company’s contractual right to recover the Company’s actual committed costs and profit on work performed up to the date of cancellation. The Company’s backlog may fluctuate significantly from


quarter to quarter based upon the type and size of the projects the Company is awarded from the bid market. The Company’s backlog includes only those projects for which the Company has obtained a signed contract with the customer. A quarterly increase or decrease of the Company’s backlog does not necessarily result in an improvement or a deterioration of the Company’s business. As expected, the Company had several dry dock inspections in the third quarter of 2020, with many completing inspection and returned to service in the fourth quarter. Some vessels remained in dry dock at quarter end but are anticipated to be returned to service in the fourth quarter.  

The domestic dredging bid market for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $926.9$532.4 million, a $91.1$103.8 million decreaseincrease compared to the same period in the prior year. Total domestic dredging bid market for the current year period included awards for additional phasesthe third phase of the Jacksonville, Charleston and Corpus Christi deepening projects, two coastal restoration projects in Louisiana,Mobile Harbor Deepening project, the Golden Triangle Marsh Project, one maintenance work on the Ohio and Mississippi River, hopper maintenance work on the West Coast and a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) capital project in Louisiana. The bid market for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased compared to the prior year due to a greater amount of domestic capital andgulf region, one rivers and& lakes projects let to bidproject in the current year. This increase in domestic capital and rivers and lakes projects in the current period was partially offset by a greater amount ofTennessee, one coastal protection project and one maintenance projects awardedproject in the same period in the prior year.Florida. For the contracts awarded in the current year, the Company won 57%65.9%, or $308.7$148.1 million, of domestic capital projects, 68%and 36.3%, or $131.1$44.1 million, of the coastal protection projects, 20%, or $158.7 million, of maintenance projects and 100%, or $32.1 million, of rivers & lakes projects through SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The Company won 40%34.5% of the overall domestic bid market for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, which is consistent withslightly lower than the Company’s prior three year average of 39%36.6%. Variability in contract wins from quarter to quarter is not unusual and one quarter’s win rate is generally not indicative of the win rate the Company is likely to achieve for a full year. After the end of the quarter, we were awarded the Cape May Beach Renourishment Project for $12.1 million and we were low bidder on the Corpus Christi Phase III Deepening Project for $151.9 million and the Thimble Shoal deepening and renourishment project for $39.5 million.

The Company’s contracted dredging backlog was $661.3$454.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to $589.4$559.4 million of backlog at December 31, 2019.2020. These amounts do not reflect approximately $177.9$508.6 million of domestic low bids pending formal award and additional phases (“options”) pending on projects currently in backlog at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. At December 31, 20192020 the amount of domestic low bids and options pending award was $201.3$472.3 million.

Domestic capital dredging backlog at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $64.2 million higher than at the same level compared to December 31, 2019.2020.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company continued to earn revenue on deepening projects in Charleston, Jacksonville, and Corpus Christi andthe gulf region, a coastal restoration project in Mississippi. At the end of last year, several LNG petro chemicalLouisiana, and crude oil export projects were being developeda liquefied natural gas project in the Gulf of Mexico creating the need for port development and navigational channel deepening and widening to accommodate the larger vessels involved in this trade. With the current economic environment in the oil and gas markets, some of these privately funded projects are expected to be impacted and delayed.Louisiana. Government funded projects coming into the pipeline include additional phases of the Charleston, Jacksonville and Corpus Christi deepenings, as well as new deepenings for ports in Mobile, Alabama and the Everglades in Florida.Florida. These deepenings continue the trend of ensuring all East Coast and Gulf of Mexico ports will be able to accommodate the deeper draft vessels currently used on several trade routes. In addition, multiple project phases for port deepenings in Norfolk and the Houston ship channel are expected to continue for the next several years. The nation’s governors continue to show commitment to their respective ports through engagement and funding. Finally, Congress has also shown a commitment to ports and waterways, providing record annual budgets for the Corps for port deepening and channel maintenance. In addition to this port work, a greater amount of coastal restoration and rehabilitation projects are being funded in the Gulf Coast region as the states utilize available monies for ecosystem priorities, a portion of which is allocated to dredging.


Foreign capital dredging backlog at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $19.5$6.6 million lower than at December 31, 2019.2020. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company continued to earn revenue on a project in the Middle East which was in backlog at December 31, 2019.2020.

Coastal protection dredging backlog decreased $31.7$46.8 million from December 31, 2019.2020. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company was awarded two coastal protection projects of $31 million in North Carolina, $24 million in New Jersey$28.5 and $15$15.6 million in Florida. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company continued to earn revenue on coastal protection projects in New York,Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida which were in backlog at December 31, 2019.2020. Coastal protection and storm impacts continue to provide the major impetus for coastal project investment at federal and state levels. Strong hurricane and storm seasons have resulted in an increase in beach erosion and other damage which adds to the recurring nature of our business and the need for more frequent coastal protection and port maintenance projects. As a result of the extreme storm systems in prior years involving Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, the U.S. Congress passed supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and recovery which includes $17.4 billion for the Corps to fund projects that will reduce the risk of future damage from flood and storm events. The Corps is beginning to provide visibility on its plans for this money, and it is expected that approximately $1.8 billion will be allocated to dredging-related work. Most of this work is anticipated to be coastal protection related, but some funding may be provided for channel maintenance. During 2019, an additional $3.3 billion of supplemental appropriations was approved for disaster relief funding as a result of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael.
