NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) | |
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Helix" or the "Company"). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "we," "us" and "our" in this report refer collectively to Helix and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2013 Form 10-K”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related disclosures. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We have made all adjustments (which were normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed herein) that we believe are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of cash flows, as applicable. The operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included herein has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included in our 2013 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Form 10-K. | |
Certain reclassifications were made to previously-reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to make them consistent with the current presentation format. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU provides a single five-step approach to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The ASU requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption through a cumulative adjustment. We are currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the potential impact the adoption of this new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. | |

Note 2 — Company Overview | |
Our Operations | |
We are an international offshore energy company that provides specialty services to the offshore energy industry, with a focus on well intervention and robotics operations. We seek to provide services and methodologies that we believe are critical to developing offshore reservoirs and maximizing production economics. We provide services primarily in deepwater in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Asia Pacific and West Africa regions. Our “life of field” services are segregated into four business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics, Subsea Construction and Production Facilities (Note 11). Our Subsea Construction segment was significantly diminished following the sale of substantially all of our assets related to this reportable segment during 2013 and early 2014 (see Note 2 to our 2013 Form 10-K and Note 2 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014). Our Production Facilities segment includes the Helix Producer I (“HP I”) vessel (which we now own 100% after acquiring our minority partner’s noncontrolling interests in the entity that owns the vessel for $20.1 million in February 2014) as well as our equity investments in Deepwater Gateway, L.L.C. (“Deepwater Gateway”) and Independence Hub, LLC (“Independence Hub”) (Note 5). The Production Facilities segment also includes the Helix Fast Response System (“HFRS”), which provides certain operators access to our Q4000 and HP I vessels in the event of a well control incident in the Gulf of Mexico. | |
Discontinued Operations | |
In February 2013, we sold Energy Resource Technology GOM, Inc. (“ERT”), a former wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary that conducted our oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico, for $624 million plus additional consideration in the form of overriding royalty interests in ERT’s Wang well and certain exploration prospects. As a result, we have presented the historical operating results of our former Oil and Gas segment as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 to our 2013 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our discontinued operations and Note 6 regarding the use of a portion of the sale proceeds to reduce our indebtedness under our former credit agreement. | |

As of September 30, 2014, we had two investments that we account for using the equity method of accounting: Deepwater Gateway and Independence Hub, both of which are included in our Production Facilities segment. | |||||||||||
Deepwater Gateway, L.L.C. In June 2002, we, along with Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

Our investment in Deepwater Gateway totaled $82.4 million and $85.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (including capitalized interest of $1.2 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). | |||||||||||
Independence Hub, LLC. In December 2004 we acquired a 20% interest in Independence Hub, an affiliate of Enterprise. Independence Hub owns the “Independence Hub” platform located in Mississippi Canyon Block 920 in a water depth of 8,000 feet. Our investment in Independence Hub was $70.2 million and $72.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (including capitalized interest of $4.0 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). | |||||||||||

Included below is a summary of certain components of our indebtedness: | ||||||||||||||
Credit Agreement | ||||||||||||||
In June 2013, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders pursuant to which we borrowed $300 million under the Credit Agreement’s term loan (the “Term Loan”) component and may borrow revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) and/or obtain letters of credit under a revolving credit facility up to an outstanding amount of $600 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Subject to customary conditions, we may request an increase of up to $200 million in aggregate commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, additional term loans or a combination thereof. The $300 million we borrowed under the Term Loan was in connection with our early redemption of the remaining $275 million Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding in July 2013 (see “Senior Unsecured Notes” below). | ||||||||||||||
The Term Loan and the Revolving Loans (together, the “Loans”) will bear interest, at our election, in relation to either the base rate established by Bank of America N.A. or to a LIBOR rate, provided that all Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be base rate loans. The Term Loan currently bears interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. In September 2013, we entered into various interest rate swap contracts to fix the one-month LIBOR rate on $148.1 million of the Term Loan. The fixed LIBOR rates were between 74 and 75 basis points. | ||||||||||||||
The Loans or portions thereof bearing interest at the base rate will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00%. The Loans or portions thereof bearing interest at a LIBOR rate will bear interest at the LIBOR rate selected by us plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%. A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to our applicable margin for LIBOR rate Loans multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit. Margins on the Loans will vary in relation to the consolidated coverage ratio, as provided by the Credit Agreement. We currently also pay a fixed commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of our Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2014, our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $583.2 million, net of $16.8 million of letters of credit issued. | ||||||||||||||
The Term Loan is repayable in scheduled principal installments of 5% in each of the initial two loan years ($15 million per year), and 10% in each of the remaining three loan years ($30 million per year), payable quarterly, with a balloon payment of $180 million at maturity. These installment amounts are subject to adjustment for any prepayments on the Term Loan. We may elect to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan without premium or penalty, but may not reborrow any amounts prepaid. We may prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loans without premium or penalty, and may reborrow any available amounts paid up to the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Loans mature on June 19, 2018. In certain circumstances, we will be required to prepay the Loans. | ||||||||||||||
The Credit Agreement and the other documents entered into in connection with the Credit Agreement (together, the “Loan Documents”) include terms and conditions, including covenants, which we consider customary for this type of transaction. The covenants include restrictions on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, merge or consolidate, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends and incur capital expenditures. In addition, the Credit Agreement obligates us to meet certain financial ratios, including the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). We have designated five of our foreign subsidiaries, and may designate any newly established foreign subsidiaries, as subsidiaries that are not generally subject to the covenants in the Credit Agreement (the “Unrestricted Subsidiaries”), provided we meet certain liquidity requirements, in which case EBITDA of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries is not included in the calculations with respect to our financial covenants. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (except Cal Dive I – Title XI, Inc.) and Canyon Offshore Limited. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement, and of the guarantors under their guaranty, are secured by most of our assets and assets of the guarantors and Canyon Offshore Limited, plus pledges of up to two-thirds of the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries. | ||||||||||||||
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2032 | ||||||||||||||
In March 2012, we completed a public offering and sale of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Notes were $195.0 million after deducting the underwriter’s discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to repurchase and retire $142.2 million of aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 in separate, privately negotiated transactions (see Note 7 to our 2013 Form 10-K for additional information). The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other indebtedness. | ||||||||||||||
The 2032 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, and are payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2012. The 2032 Notes will mature on March 15, 2032 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2032 Notes are convertible in certain circumstances and during certain periods at an initial conversion rate of 39.9752 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $25.02 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Indenture governing the 2032 Notes. | ||||||||||||||
Prior to March 20, 2018, the 2032 Notes are not redeemable. On or after March 20, 2018, we, at our option, may redeem some or all of the 2032 Notes in cash, at any time upon at least 30 days’ notice, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest, if any) up to but excluding the redemption date. In addition, the holders of the 2032 Notes may require us to purchase in cash some or all of their 2032 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest, if any) up to but excluding the applicable repurchase date, on March 15, 2018, March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2027, or, subject to specified exceptions, at any time prior to the 2032 Notes’ maturity following a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture governing the 2032 Notes). | ||||||||||||||
In connection with the issuance of the 2032 Notes, we recorded a discount of $35.4 million as required under existing accounting rules. To arrive at this discount amount, we estimated the fair value of the liability component of the 2032 Notes as of the date of their issuance (March 12, 2012) using an income approach. To determine this estimated fair value, we used borrowing rates of similar market transactions involving comparable liabilities at the time of issuance and an expected life of 6.0 years. In selecting the expected life, we selected the earliest date upon which the holders could require us to repurchase all or a portion of the 2032 Notes (March 15, 2018). The effective interest rate for the 2032 Notes is 6.9% after considering the effect of the accretion of the related debt discount that represented the equity component of the 2032 Notes at their inception. | ||||||||||||||
MARAD Debt | ||||||||||||||
This U.S. government guaranteed financing (the “MARAD Debt”) is pursuant to Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 administered by the Maritime Administration, and was used to finance the construction of the Q4000. The MARAD Debt is payable in equal semi-annual installments beginning in August 2002 and matures in February 2027. The MARAD Debt is collateralized by the Q4000, is guaranteed 50% by us, and initially bore interest at a floating rate that approximated AAA Commercial Paper yields plus 20 basis points. As provided for in the MARAD Debt agreements, in September 2005, we fixed the interest rate on the debt through the issuance of a 4.93% fixed-rate note with the same maturity date. | ||||||||||||||
Nordea Credit Agreement | ||||||||||||||
In September 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Helix Q5000 Holdings S.à r.l. (“Q5000 Holdings”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Nordea Credit Agreement”) with a syndicated bank lending group for a term loan (the “Nordea Term Loan”) in an amount of up to $250 million. The Nordea Term Loan will be funded at or near the time of the delivery of the Q5000, which is currently estimated in early 2015. The parent company of Q5000 Holdings, Helix Vessel Finance S.à r.l., has guaranteed the Nordea Term Loan. The loan will be secured by the Q5000 and its charter earnings as well as by a pledge of the shares of Q5000 Holdings. This indebtedness is nonrecourse to Helix. | ||||||||||||||
The Nordea Term Loan will bear interest at a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.5%, with an undrawn fee of 0.875%. The Nordea Term Loan matures five years after funding and is repayable in scheduled principal installments of $8.9 million, payable quarterly, with a balloon payment of $80.4 million at maturity. Installment amounts are subject to adjustment for any prepayments on this debt. Q5000 Holdings may elect to prepay amounts outstanding under the Nordea Term Loan without premium or penalty, but may not reborrow any amounts prepaid. In certain circumstances, Q5000 Holdings will be required to prepay the loan. | ||||||||||||||
The Nordea Credit Agreement and the other related loan documents include terms and conditions, including covenants, that are considered customary for this type of transaction. The covenants include restrictions on Q5000 Holdings’s ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, merge or consolidate, sell or transfer assets, and pay dividends. In addition, the Nordea Credit Agreement obligates Q5000 Holdings to meet minimum financial requirements, including liquidity, consolidated debt service coverage and collateral maintenance. | ||||||||||||||
Former Credit Facility | ||||||||||||||
Similar to our current Credit Agreement, our former credit facility contained both term loan and revolving loan components. This indebtedness was scheduled to mature on July 1, 2015. In February 2013, we repaid $318.4 million of borrowings outstanding under this former credit facility with the proceeds from the sale of ERT. We fully repaid the remaining indebtedness outstanding under this credit facility in June 2013. In connection with the repayments of this debt, we recorded charges totaling $3.5 million to accelerate a pro rata portion of the deferred financing costs associated with our former term loan debt. This charge is reflected as a component of “Loss on early extinguishment of long-term debt” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Senior Unsecured Notes | ||||||||||||||
In December 2007, we issued $550 million of 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). We had $275 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding at the beginning of 2013. We fully redeemed these notes in July 2013 (see Note 7 to our 2013 Form 10-K). Our results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 included a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $8.6 million in connection with the redemption of these notes. | ||||||||||||||
Other | ||||||||||||||
In accordance with our Credit Agreement, the 2032 Notes, the MARAD Debt agreements, and the Nordea Credit Agreement, we are required to comply with certain covenants, including certain financial ratios such as a consolidated interest coverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio, as well as the maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital and debt-to-equity requirements. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants. | ||||||||||||||

The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 were 28.3% and 26.5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 were 13.5% and 17.7%, respectively. The variance is primarily attributable to projected year-over-year increases in profitability in the United States and the 2013 tax benefit of a reduction in the U.K. statutory tax rate. | |||||||||
Income taxes have been provided based on the U.S. statutory rate of 35% and at the local statutory rate for each foreign jurisdiction adjusted for items that are allowed as deductions for federal and foreign income tax reporting purposes, but not for book purposes.

Note 9 — Earnings Per Share | ||||||||||
We have shares of restricted stock issued and outstanding, which currently are unvested. Holders of such shares of unvested restricted stock are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights as the holders of our outstanding unrestricted common stock and the shares are thus considered participating securities. Under applicable accounting guidance, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated based on the participation rights of both the common shareholders and holders of any participating securities as if earnings for the respective periods had been distributed. Because both the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, we are required to compute earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts under the two class method in periods in which we have earnings from continuing operations. For periods in which we have a net loss, we do not use the two class method as holders of our restricted shares are not contractually obligated to share in such losses. | ||||||||||
The presentation of basic EPS amounts on the face of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations is computed by dividing the net income applicable to Helix common shareholders by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, except that the denominator includes dilutive common stock equivalents and the income included in the numerator excludes the effects of the impact of dilutive common stock equivalents, if any. The computations of the numerator (income) and denominator (shares) to derive the basic and diluted EPS amounts presented on the face of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||||

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the following grants of other share-based awards were made to executive officers and non-employee members of our Board of Directors under our LTI Stock Plans: | |||||||||||

(1) Reflects the grant of restricted shares to our executive officers. | |||||||||||
(2) Reflects the grant of performance share units (“PSUs”) to our executive officers. The estimated fair value of the PSUs on grant date was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PSUs provide for an award based on the performance of our common stock over a three-year period with the maximum award being 200% of the original awarded PSUs and the minimum amount being zero. The vested PSUs will be settled in an equivalent number of shares of our common stock unless the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors elects to pay in cash. | |||||||||||
(3) Reflects the grant of restricted shares to certain members of our Board of Directors who have made an election to take their quarterly fees in stock in lieu of cash. | |||||||||||
Compensation cost is recognized over the respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, $1.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively, were recognized as stock-based compensation expense related to share-based awards as compared with $1.6 million and $6.7 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. A total of $1.3 million of the stock-based compensation expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was included within our discontinued operations. | |||||||||||
Long-Term Incentive Cash Plans | |||||||||||
We have certain long-term incentive cash plans (the “LTI Cash Plans”) that provide long-term cash-based compensation to eligible employees. Cash awards historically have been both fixed sum amounts payable (for non-executive management only) as well as cash awards indexed to our common stock with the payment amount at each vesting date fluctuating based on the performance of our common stock (for both executive and non-executive management). These are measured based on the performance of our stock price over the applicable award period compared to a base price determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors at the time of the award. Cash payments under the LTI Cash Plans are made each year on the anniversary date of the award. Cash awards granted since 2012 have a vesting period of three years while those granted prior to 2012 have a vesting period of five years. The LTI Cash Plans are considered liability plans and as such are re-measured to fair value each reporting period with corresponding changes in the liability amount being reflected in our results of operations. | |||||||||||
The cash awards granted under the LTI Cash Plans to our executive officers and selected management employees totaled $8.9 million in 2014 and $8.4 million in 2013. Total compensation expense associated with the cash awards issued pursuant to the LTI Cash Plans was $5.4 million ($2.4 million related to our executive officers) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. Overall, compensation expense recorded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 was immaterial reflecting the effect the decrease in our stock price at the end of September 2014 had on the value of our liability plan. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, total compensation expense associated with the cash awards issued pursuant to the LTI Cash Plans was $3.3 million ($2.1 million related to our executive officers) and $7.5 million ($4.4 million related to our executive officers), respectively. The liability balance for the cash awards issued under the LTI Cash Plans was $10.5 million at September 30, 2014 and $14.8 million at December 31, 2013, including $6.7 million at September 30, 2014 and $11.1 million at December 31, 2013 associated with the cash awards issued to our executive officers under the LTI Cash Plans. | |||||||||||
Employee Stock Purchase Plan | |||||||||||
We also have an employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP has 1.5 million shares authorized for issuance, of which 1.2 million shares were available for issuance as of September 30, 2014. The total value of the ESPP awards is calculated using the component approach where each award is computed as the sum of 15% of a share of non-vested stock, a call option on 85% of a share of non-vested stock, and a put option on 15% of a share of non-vested stock. Share-based compensation expense with respect to the ESPP was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, share-based compensation with respect to the ESPP was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. | |||||||||||

Note 11 — Business Segment Information | |||||||||||
We have four business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics, Subsea Construction and Production Facilities. Our Well Intervention segment includes our vessels and related equipment that are used to perform well intervention services primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea regions. Our well intervention vessels include the Q4000, the Helix 534, the Seawell, the Well Enhancer and the Skandi Constructor, which is a chartered vessel. We are currently constructing two additional well intervention vessels, the Q5000 and the Q7000. We have also contracted to charter two newbuild vessels, which are expected to be delivered in 2016 and used in connection with our contracts to provide well intervention services offshore Brazil. Our Robotics segment currently operates four chartered vessels, and also includes remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”), trenchers and ROVDrills designed to complement offshore construction and well intervention services. We have sold substantially all of the assets associated with our former Subsea Construction operations, including the sale in January 2014 of our Ingleside spoolbase. The Production Facilities segment includes the HP I as well as our equity investments in Deepwater Gateway and Independence Hub that are accounted for under the equity method. All material intercompany transactions between the segments have been eliminated. In February 2013, we sold ERT and as a result, the assets and liabilities included in the sale of ERT and the historical operating results of our former Oil and Gas segment are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 to our 2013 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our discontinued operations. | |||||||||||
We evaluate our performance based on operating income and income before income taxes of each segment. Segment assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each reportable segment. Corporate and other includes all assets not directly identifiable with our business segments, most notably the majority of our cash and cash equivalents. Certain financial data by reportable segment is summarized as follows (in thousands): | |||||||||||

Commitments | |
In March 2012, we executed a contract with a shipyard in Singapore for the construction of a newbuild semi-submersible well intervention vessel, the Q5000. This $386.5 million shipyard contract represents the majority of the expected costs associated with the construction of the Q5000. Pursuant to the terms of this contract, payments are made in a fixed percentage of the contract price, together with any variations, on contractually scheduled dates. The vessel is expected to be completed and placed in service in early 2015. In September 2014, we entered into the Nordea Credit Agreement to partially finance the construction of the Q5000 and other future capital projects. The Nordea Term Loan will be funded at or near the time of the delivery of the Q5000 (Note 6). At September 30, 2014, our total investment in the Q5000 was $282.0 million, including $231.9 million of scheduled payments made to the shipyard. | |
In February 2013, we contracted to charter the Grand Canyon II and Grand Canyon III for use in our robotics operations. The terms of the charters will be five years from the respective delivery dates, both of which are expected to be in 2015. | |
In September 2013, we executed a second contract with the same shipyard in Singapore that is currently constructing the Q5000. This contract provides for the construction of a newbuild semi-submersible well intervention vessel, the Q7000, which will be built to North Sea standards. This $346.0 million shipyard contract represents the majority of the expected costs associated with the construction of the Q7000. Pursuant to the terms of this contract, 20% of the contract price was paid upon the signing of the contract and the remaining 80% will be paid upon the delivery of the vessel, which is expected to occur in 2016. At September 30, 2014, our total investment in the Q7000 was $95.7 million, including the $69.2 million paid to the shipyard upon signing the contract. | |
In February 2014, we entered into agreements with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) to provide well intervention services offshore Brazil. The initial term of the agreements with Petrobras is for four years with options to extend. In connection with the Petrobras agreements, we entered into charter agreements with Siem Offshore AS for two newbuild monohull vessels, both of which are expected to be in service for Petrobras in 2016. At September 30, 2014, our total investment in the topside equipment for the two vessels was $31.0 million. | |
Contingencies and Claims | |
Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement for the sale of ERT, we required the buyer to provide bonding in a sufficient amount as determined by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (the “BOEM”) to cover the decommissioning costs of ERT’s lease properties and thus to replace and allow for a discharge of our existing guaranty to the BOEM for ERT’s lease obligations. The buyer posted the bonding required by the equity purchase agreement, and we submitted a formal request to the BOEM to terminate and release our guaranty. On July 24, 2014, we received a letter from the BOEM terminating the period of liability under our guaranty effective July 14, 2014. | |
Litigation | |
On July 8, 2011, a shareholder derivative lawsuit styled City of Sterling Heights Police & Fire Retirement System v. Owen Kratz, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. In the suit, the plaintiff made claims against our Board of Directors, certain of our former directors, certain of our current and former executive officers, and the independent compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, for breaches of the fiduciary duty of loyalty, unjust enrichment and aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty relating to the long-term equity awards granted in 2010 to certain of the Company’s then executive officers who are defendants. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the claim asserting that the plaintiff has not (i) pled specific facts excusing its failure to make pre-suit demand on our Board of Directors as required by Minnesota law, (ii) filed proper verification, or (iii) stated a claim. In August 2014, the judge in this case granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the case with prejudice. | |
We are involved in various legal proceedings, primarily involving claims for personal injury under the General Maritime Laws of the United States and the Jones Act based on alleged negligence. In addition, from time to time we incur other claims, such as contract disputes, in the normal course of business. | |

Fair Value Measurements | ' | |||||||||||
Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||
Certain of our financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as required under applicable accounting requirements. These requirements establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair value is to be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets and liabilities and not on assumptions specific to the entity. The statement requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: | ||||||||||||
• | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | |||||||||||
• | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | |||||||||||
• | Level 3. Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. | |||||||||||
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques as follows: | ||||||||||||
(a) | Market Approach. Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||
(b) | Cost Approach. Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). | |||||||||||
(c) | Income Approach. Techniques to convert expected future cash flows to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models). | |||||||||||
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and various derivative instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these instruments. The following table provides additional information related to other financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2014 (in thousands): | ||||||||||||

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of our Level 2 derivative instruments reflects our best estimate and is based upon exchange or over-the-counter quotations whenever they are available. Quoted valuations may not be available due to location differences or terms that extend beyond the period for which quotations are available. Where quotes are not available, we utilize other valuation techniques or models to estimate market values. These modeling techniques require us to make estimations of future prices, price correlation and market volatility and liquidity based on market data. Our actual results may differ from our estimates, and these differences could be positive or negative. See Note 15 for further discussion on fair value of our derivative instruments. | ||||||||||||

(b) The estimated fair value of all debt, other than the MARAD Debt, was determined using Level 1 inputs using the market approach. The fair value of the MARAD Debt was determined using a third party evaluation of the remaining average life and outstanding principal balance of the MARAD indebtedness as compared to other governmental obligations in the marketplace with similar terms. The fair value of the MARAD Debt was estimated using Level 2 fair value inputs using the market approach. | ||||||||||||

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities | ' | |||||||||||||||
Note 15 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | ||||||||||||||||
Our operations are exposed to market risk associated with interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our risk management activities involve the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge the impact of market risk exposure related to variable interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. All derivatives are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. | ||||||||||||||||
We engage solely in cash flow hedges. Hedges of cash flow exposure are entered into to hedge a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability. Changes in the derivative fair values that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred to the extent that the hedges are effective. These fair value changes are recorded as a component of Accumulated OCI (a component of shareholders’ equity) until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recognized immediately in earnings. In addition, any change in the fair value of a derivative that does not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. | ||||||||||||||||
For additional information regarding our accounting for derivatives, see Notes 2 and 16 to our 2013 Form 10-K. | ||||||||||||||||
Interest Rate Risk | ||||||||||||||||
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swaps to stabilize cash flows related to our long-term debt subject to variable interest rates. Changes in the fair value of an interest rate swap are deferred to the extent the swap is effective. These changes are recorded as a component of Accumulated OCI until the anticipated interest payments occur and are recognized in interest expense. The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings within the line titled “Net interest expense.” The amount of ineffectiveness associated with our interest rate swap contracts was immaterial for all periods presented. In September 2013, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to fix the interest rate on $148.1 million of our Term Loan (Note 6). These monthly contracts began in October 2013 and extend through October 2016. | ||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk | ||||||||||||||||
Because we operate in various regions in the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We entered into various foreign currency exchange contracts to stabilize expected cash outflows relating to certain vessel charters that are denominated in British pounds and Norwegian kroner. | ||||||||||||||||
In January 2013, we entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge through September 2017 the foreign currency exposure associated with the Grand Canyon charter payments ($104.6 million) denominated in Norwegian kroner (NOK591.3 million). In February 2013, we entered into similar foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge our foreign currency exposure with respect to the Grand Canyon II and Grand Canyon III charter payments ($100.4 million and $98.8 million, respectively) denominated in Norwegian kroner (NOK594.7 million and NOK595.0 million, respectively), through July 2019 and February 2020, respectively. These contracts currently qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of our remaining foreign exchange contracts that were not accounted for as hedge contracts have been settled. We had no foreign currency exchange contracts for vessel charters denominated in British pounds as of September 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||
Quantitative Disclosures Related to Derivative Instruments | ||||||||||||||||
As a result of the announcement in December 2012 of the sale of ERT, we de-designated all of our then remaining oil and natural gas derivative contracts as hedging instruments. In addition, under the terms of our former credit agreement (Note 6), we were required to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of ERT, as well as the sale of the Caesar and Express vessels, to make payments to reduce our indebtedness. Because of the probability that the former term loan debt would be totally repaid before the expiration of our then existing interest rate swaps, we also concluded that those swaps no longer qualified as cash flow hedges. The mark-to-market adjustments related to our commodity derivative contracts and interest rate swaps are reflected in “Loss on commodity derivative contracts” and “Other expense, net,” respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. | ||||||||||||||||

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of our Level 2 derivative instruments reflects our best estimate and is based upon exchange or over-the-counter quotations whenever they are available. Quoted valuations may not be available due to location differences or terms that extend beyond the period for which quotations are available. Where quotes are not available, we utilize other valuation techniques or models to estimate market values. These modeling techniques require us to make estimations of future prices, price correlation and market volatility and liquidity based on market data. Our actual results may differ from our estimates, and these differences could be positive or negative. See Note 15 for further discussion on fair value of our derivative instruments. | ||||||||||||

Where quotes are not available, we utilize other valuation techniques or models to estimate market values. These modeling techniques require us to make estimations of future prices, price correlation and market volatility and liquidity based on market data. Our actual results may differ from our estimates, and these differences could be positive or negative. See NoteB 15 for further discussion on fair value of our derivative instruments. | |
