Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | rganization and Basis of Presentation Company Effective February 8, 2021, we changed our name to Eneti Inc. from Scorpio Bulkers Inc., following receipt of the approval of our shareholders at a special meeting held on February 3, 2021. Eneti Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on March 20, 2013. The Company announced on August 3, 2020 its intention to transition away from the business of dry bulk commodity transportation and towards marine-based renewable energy including investing in the next generation of wind turbine installation vessels. During July 2021, the Company completed its exit from the business of dry bulk commodity transportation. The dry bulk commodity transportation business represented 100% of the activity of the Company when all dry bulk vessels qualified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2020. Therefore, it did not meet the definition of a “component of an entity” as defined in ASC 205-20, Presentation of financial statements—Discontinued operations as its operations and cash flows could not be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. For that reason, it is not presented as a discontinued operation in these consolidated financial statements. Marine Energy (acquired August 2021) In August 2021, Eneti completed its acquisition of Atlantis Investorco Limited, the parent of Seajacks International Limited (“Seajacks”), after which Seajacks became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eneti. The Company is focused on the offshore wind and marine-based renewable energy industry and has invested in the next generation of wind turbine installation vessels (“WTIV”). The Company operates five WTIVs, which in addition to wind farm installation can perform maintenance, construction, decommissioning and other tasks within the offshore industry. The Company typically operates its five WTIVs (collectively “our fleet”) on modified time charters, which provides a fixed and stable cash flow for a known period of time, and often places risks, such as weather downtime, on the charterer’s account. Our fleet currently consists of the following vessels: Vessel Name Vessel Design Year Built Seajacks Scylla NG14000 2015 Seajacks Zaratan NG5500 2012 Seajacks Leviathan NG2500 2009 Seajacks Hydra NG2500 2014 Seajacks Kraken NG2500 2009 Our commercial and technical management of our fleet enables us to have very competitive operating expenses and high vessel maintenance standards. We conduct a significant portion of the commercial and technical management of our vessels in-house through our wholly owned subsidiaries. We believe having control over the commercial and technical management allows us to more closely monitor our operations and to offer consistent higher quality performance, reliability, safety and sustainability and efficiency in arranging charters and the maintenance of our vessels. We also believe that these management capabilities contribute significantly in maintaining a lower level of vessel operating and maintenance costs, without sacrificing the quality of our operations. The Company’s marine energy business is managed as a single operating segment. Former Dry Bulk Operations (exited July 2021) Prior to its exit from the dry bulk business, the Company was an international shipping company that owned and operated the latest generation newbuilding drybulk carriers with fuel-efficient specifications and carrying capacities of greater than 30,000 dwt in the international shipping markets. The Company’s vessels transported a broad range of major and minor bulk commodities, including ores, coal, grains, and fertilizers, along worldwide shipping routes, and were, or were expected to be, employed primarily in the spot market or in spot market-oriented pools of similarly sized vessels. The Company was organized by vessel type into two operating segments (see Note 17, Segments, to the consolidated financial statements): • Ultramax - includes vessels ranging from approximately 60,200 DWT to 64,000 DWT • Kamsarmax - includes vessels ranging from approximately 82,000 DWT to 84,000 DWT The Company’s vessels were commercially managed by Scorpio Commercial Management S.A.M., or SCM, an entity controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family of which Emanuele Lauro, the Company’s co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Filippo Lauro, the Company’s Vice President, are members. SCM’s services have included securing employment for the Company’s vessels in pools, in the spot market and on time charters. The Company’s vessels were technically managed by Scorpio Ship Management S.A.M., or SSM, an entity controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family. SSM facilitates vessel support such as crew, provisions, deck and engine stores, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and other services as necessary to operate the vessels such as drydocks and vetting/inspection under a technical management agreement. The Company has also entered into an administrative services agreement, as amended from time to time, or the Amended Administrative Services Agreement, with Scorpio Services Holding Limited, or SSH, an entity controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family. The administrative services provided under this agreement primarily include provision of administrative staff, office space and accounting, legal compliance, financial and information technology services, in addition to arranging vessel sales and purchases for the Company. Basis of accounting The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to the prior year presentation to conform to the current year presentation. Reverse stock split On April 7, 2020, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The par value was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. Going concern The Company’s revenue is derived time charter and construction project revenue. The Company has several large installation project opportunities primarily served by Seajacks Scylla and Seajacks Zaratan. For our smaller vessels there are also contract opportunities in the offshore wind-farm maintenance market albeit at very competitive day rates. The Company expects the market in 2022 and 2023 to remain positive, substantiated by Seajacks significant order backlog for this period, with further improvements to our utilization and day rates for 2024 onward. We also expect to benefit from the resurfacing of projects cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as well as from the latest rebound of oil and gas prices. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the accounts of Eneti Inc. and its subsidiaries in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist and whether the entity is a VIE, and if so, determines whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those results. The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the consideration transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We applied the acquisition method accounting for the acquisition of Seajacks and used estimates to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The vessel fair values were arrived at by independent valuations from three reputable brokers in the sector. Overall, the Company used point estimation techniques considering each broker’s concluded values on a vessel by vessel basis. The valuation process also identified a brand name, which is an indefinite life intangible asset, the fair value of which was determined by using a relief from royalty approach, which is a form of the income approach. This valuation is based upon estimates of future net revenues applied to benchmark royalty rate and discounted to present value, which results in an indication of the benefit of owning the intangible asset. The Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating our current income tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all material positive and negative evidence including projected future taxable income, available tax-planning strategies and its results of operations for the last three years. Actual results could differ materially from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the financial statements include the results of the acquired operations of Seajacks (“Seajacks acquisition”) from its August 12, 2021 acquisition date. The purchase price of the acquired entities is preliminarily allocated to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value at the dates of acquisition, with any excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, including intangibles, recognized as goodwill or bargain purchase gain. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Subsequent measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting periods in which the adjustment amount is determined. Revenue recognition - Marine Energy (acquired August 2021) Time charter hire Time charter hire revenues are earned for exclusive use of the services of the vessel by the charterer for an agreed period of time. There is a lease component of the hire and a service component. The lease component relates to the hire revenues which are recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter in accordance with ASC 842, with due allowance made for periods of off-hire. The service component involves maintenance of the vessel in a good condition together with the deployment of the crew classified as revenue under ASC 606. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient under ASC 842 related to the lessor ability to combine lease and non-lease components as the performance obligations in relation to both the service element and lease element are satisfied ratably over the period of the contract. Therefore, such revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis. Revenues related to reimbursable expenses The Company generally receives reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, and other services provided at their request in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Such reimbursable revenue is variable and subject to uncertainty, as the amounts received and the timing thereof are highly dependent on factors outside of the Company’s influence. Accordingly, reimbursable revenue is fully constrained and not included in the total transaction price until the uncertainty is resolved, which typically occurs when the related costs are incurred on behalf of a customer. The Company and its subsidiaries are generally considered a principal in such transactions and record the associated revenue at the gross amount billed to the customer. Revenues related to reimbursable expenses are generally categorized as service revenues. Mobilization and demobilization revenue The Company may receive fees on a fixed lump-sum for the mobilization and demobilization of its vessels. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore the associated revenue is allocated to the overall performance obligation and recognized ratably over the agreed term of the related time charter contract. The Company defers mobilization and contract preparation fees received, as well as direct and incremental costs associated with the mobilization of equipment and contract preparation activities as “contract fulfillment costs” and amortize each on a straight-line basis, over the related time charter contract. Demobilization revenue expected to be received upon contract completion is included as part of the overall transaction price at contract inception and recognized over the term of the contract. Mobilization and demobilization revenue are classified as either time charter revenue or project revenue depending on the contract to which they relate. Revenues related to construction supervision Construction supervision revenues relate to advisory and support services provided to third parties during the design and construction phases of new buildings. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the satisfaction of the performance obligations. Advisory services are recognized in line with the agreed milestones and support services are recognized evenly over the duration of the contract, as set out in the contractual terms. Contract assets and liabilities In certain cases, the measurement of revenue will not be the same as amounts invoiced to a customer. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes either a contract asset or a contract liability for the difference between cumulative revenue recognized and cumulative amounts billed for that contract. A contract asset is recognized when the Company’s right to consideration, in exchange for goods or services delivered to the customer, is conditioned on the entity’s future performance. Conversely, where the Company receives a payment for consideration in relation to goods or services to be provided in the future, the amount is recorded as a contract liability. Where the Company identifies non-current contract liabilities relating to mobilization and contract preparation fees received from customers in advance, which are deferred until the commencement of the associated contracts, the Company measures the amount of revenue to recognize on execution of the contracts by calculating a financing component at the interest rate that would have applied had the Company borrowed the funds from its customer. Accounts receivable A receivable is distinguished from a contract asset if the receipt of the consideration is unconditional. Receivables are presented net of any necessary allowances. Management continually evaluates customer receivables for impairment based on historical experience, including the age of the receivables and the customers payment pattern. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Remaining performance obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period with an original expected duration of one year or more. The Company does not disclose the remaining performance obligations of short-term contracts that are expected to have a duration of one year or less or where the Company has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date (for example, a service contract in which a customer is billed for each hour of service provided). We do not disclose the remaining performance obligations of contracts for which there is either a right to invoice, or which is there is an expected duration of one year or less. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is estimated to be $3.1 million, which is expected to be recognized in 2023. Revenue recognition - former Dry Bulk Operations (exited July 2021) Prior to its exit from dry bulk operations, most of the Company’s revenues were sourced from commercial pools and time charters, fell under the guidance of US GAAP for leases. In commercial pools the Company participated with other shipowners to operate a large number of vessels as an integrated transportation system, which offered customers greater flexibility and a higher level of service while achieving scheduling efficiencies. The operation of the pool enabled both pool customers and participants to share the benefits achieved from these efficiencies. Under pooling arrangements, vessels were leased to and placed at the disposal and control of the pool during their participation in the pool. The Pool Manager negotiated and entered into arrangements for the commercial employment and operation of the pool vessels so as to secure the highest earnings to be shared among the pool participants. All revenues earned by the pool from the operation of the pool vessels, after deduction of all costs involved in the operation of the pool, was shared among the pool participants based upon pool points, in accordance with the contract. All other revenues, such as those generated by voyage charters, not falling under US GAAP lease guidance were recognized pursuant to ASC 606, which recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring such goods or services to a customer (as defined in the standard). Voyage expenses Voyage expenses primarily include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling operations and brokerage commissions paid by us under voyage charters, brokerage commissions and miscellaneous voyage expenses that the Company is unable to recoup under time charter and pool arrangements. Charterhire expense Charterhire expense is the amount we pay the owner for time chartered-in dry bulk vessels. The amount is usually for a fixed period of time at charter rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on drybulk indices, inflation, interest rates, profit sharing, or current market rates. The vessel’s owner is responsible for crewing and other vessel operating costs. Charterhire expense is recognized ratably over the charterhire period. Leases The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or the ASC, Topic 842, “Leases” effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which allowed the Company to recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption rather than restate its comparative prior year periods. Under the new lease standard, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. The cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s opening balance of accumulated deficit was zero. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. This determination requires judgment with arrangements generally considered to contain a lease when all of the following apply: • It conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time to the lessee; • The lessee enjoys substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and • The lessee directs the use of the identified asset. Following the Seajacks acquisition, the company leases various offices from third parties. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use. Leases payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, if readily determinable, or otherwise at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate to determine their present value. Lease expense is recorded as part of General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to its exit from dry bulk operations, costs in respect of operating leases for chartered-in dry bulk vessels were charged to Charterhire expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight line basis over the lease term. At the present time, the majority of marine energy revenues are sourced from time charters. Prior to the Company’s transition to marine energy, the Company’s dry bulk revenues were sourced from either commercial pools or time charters, both of which fall under the guidance of U.S. GAAP for leases: • Marine energy (acquired August 2021) - time charter hire revenues are earned for exclusive use of the services of the vessel by the charterer for an agreed period of time. There is a lease component of the hire and a service component. The service component involves maintenance of the vessel in a good condition together with the deployment of the crew classified as revenue under ASC 606. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient under ASC 842 related to the lessor ability to combine lease and non-lease components as the performance obligations in relation to both the service element and lease element are satisfied ratably over the period of the contract. Therefore, such revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis. • Dry bulk (exited July 2021) - based on the Company's analysis of its contracts, the Company determined that its pool arrangements met the definition of operating leases under ASC 842. As lessor, the Company leased its vessels to pools, which managed the vessels in order to enter into transportation contracts with their customers and enjoy the economic benefits derived from such arrangements. Furthermore, the pools directed the use of a vessel (subject to certain limitations in the pool or charter agreement) throughout the period of use. Under the commercial pool agreements, the pool participants shared the revenue generated by the entire pool in accordance with a point system that allocates points to each vessel in the pool, based upon performance, age and other factors. The Company, as lessor, elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease and associated non-lease components and instead accounted for each separate lease component and the associated non-lease components as a single component, as the criteria for not separating the lease and non-lease components of its arrangements were met since: (a) the timing and pattern of transfer were the same for both the lease and non-lease components, (b) the lease component of the contracts, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (c) the lease component was the predominant component in the arrangement. As lessor, the Company accounted for its vessels as assets and recorded lease revenue for each period. As a pool participant, the Company accounted for its vessels as assets and records lease revenue for each period as the variability associated with lease payments is resolved. The Company also entered into sale and leaseback transactions, all of which contain lessee fixed price repurchase obligations. In accordance with ASC 842, such transactions are accounted for as failed sales and accordingly, the Company recognized these vessels at their net book values on the consolidated balance sheet while also recognizing their financial liabilities for the financing amount drawn down on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under “Financing obligation” and the variable amount of consideration paid under “Financial expense, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Vessel operating costs Vessel operating costs, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils, communication expenses, and technical management fees, are expensed as incurred. Technical management fees are paid to SSM (See Note 15, Related Party Transactions ). Pursuant to the Revised Master Agreement, SSM provides us with technical services, and we provide it with the ability to subcontract technical management of our vessels. On October 20, 2021, the Company entered into a technical support agreement with SSM pursuant to which SSM provides technical advice and services to us in connection with the construction of our newbuilding WTIV at Daewoo. In consideration for these services, we paid SSM a fee of $671,200, and thereafter, will pay a monthly fee in the amount of $41,667. These payments are being capitalized as a cost to build the vessel and are included in Vessels under construction, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of Eneti Inc. and each of its subsidiaries are maintained in the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate (its functional currency), which in all cases is U.S. dollars. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, our results and financial position are also expressed in U.S. dollars. In preparing the consolidated financial statements of Eneti Inc. and each of its subsidiaries, transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Any change in exchange rate between the date of recognition and the date of settlement may result in a gain or loss which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at rates ruling at that date. All resultant exchange differences are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Inventories Inventories consist mainly of spare parts and lubricating oils used in the operations of the vessels and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Assets held for sale During December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company, as part of its transition to a sustainable future, to sell its remaining dry bulk vessels and exit the dry bulk sector during 2021, classifying all of its remaining fleet as held for sale at December 31, 2020. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded a charge of $458.6 million to remeasure its fleet to its fair value less costs to sell. Assets held for sale include drybulk vessels and contracts for the construction of vessels and are classified in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . The Company considers such assets to be held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: • management commits to a plan to sell the property; • it is unlikely that the disposal plan will be significantly modified or discontinued; • the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; • actions required to complete the sale of the property have been initiated; • sale of the property is probable and we expect the completed sale will occur within one year; and • the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable given its current market value. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company records the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and, if the asset is a vessel, the Company ceases depreciation. Determination of fair value less costs to sell implies judgment. Management estimated the fair value of each individual vessel in the fleet based on its specific characteristics, such as category of the vessel (Ultramax or Kamsarmax), year and shipyard of construction, cargo carrying capacity, scrubbers retrofit, the Company’s recent sales transactions for similar vessels, and other factors. Management also estimated incremental direct costs to sell mainly on the basis of existing contracts (termination fees to be paid to related party commercial and technical managers) and customary industry practices (commissions to be paid to brokers). The Company’s vessels had been commercially managed by SCM and technically managed by SSM pursuant to the Master Agreement prior to their termination. As the termination amounted to a sale of all or substantially all vessels, a payment equal to 24 months of management fees applied as the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company, as part of its transition to a sustainable future, to sell its remaining dry bulk vessels and exit the dry bulk sector during 2021. This fee was considered as part of our assessment of the fair value less cost to sell of our remaining fleet, and was therefore included in the captions "Loss/write down on assets held for sale-related party" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and "Assets held for sale" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Vessels, net Vessels, net is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel including capitalized interest and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. Vessels are depreciated to their residual value on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 30 years and 25 years, for marine energy and dry bulk vessels, respectively, from the date the vessels are ready for their first voyage. These estimated useful lives are management’s best estimate and are also consistent with industry practice for similar vessels. The residual value is estimated as the lightweight tonnage of each vessel multiplied by an estimated scrap value per ton. The scrap value per ton is estimated taking into consideration the historical four years average scrap market rates. The carrying value of the Company’s vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessels or the amount it could obtain if it were to sell any of its vessels, which could be more or less. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is below its carrying value unless and until it determines to sell that vessel or the vessel is impaired as discussed below under “ Impairment of long-lived assets held for use .” Vessels under construction Vessels under construction are measured at cost and include costs incurred that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. These costs include installment payments made to the shipyards, capitalized interest, professional fees, and other costs deemed directly attributable to the construction of the asset. Vessels under construction are not depreciated. Deferred drydocking costs Our dry bulk vessels were required to undergo planned drydocks or underwater inspections for replacement of certain components, major repairs and maintenance of other components, which cannot be carried out while the vessels are operating, approximately every 30 months or 60 months depending on the nature of work and external requirements. These drydock costs are capitalized and depr |
