NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (the "Company"), together with its subsidiaries, is a leading fabricator of offshore drilling and production platforms and other specialized structures used in the development and production of offshore oil and gas reserves. Structures and equipment fabricated by the Company include jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms; hull and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as TLP's, SPAR's and FPSO's); piles; wellhead protectors; subsea templates; various production, compressor and utility modules; and offshore living quarters. The Company, located in Houma, Louisiana, also provides services such as offshore interconnect pipe hook-up; inshore marine construction; manufacture and repair of pressure vessels; and steel warehousing and sales. The Company's principal markets are concentrated in the offshore regions of the Gulf of Mexico. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information presented at September 30, 2002, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, is unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2002, and the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, the financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.142 ("SFAS No. 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which established a new method of testing goodwill for impairment using a fair-value-based approach and eliminated the amortization of goodwill as previously required by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 17, "Intangibles". An impairment loss would be recorded if the recorded goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. At December 31, 2001, the Company had goodwill of $4.8 million (net of accumulated amortization of $1.3 million) related to the acquisition of Southport, Inc. ("Southport"). The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, and completed the required transitional impairment test during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. As a result of the transitional impairment test, the Company -7- calculated an impairment charge of $4.8 million. The impairment charge was calculated based on fair value using an expected cash flow approach. The Company considered in its expected cash flow projections the continued decline in the demand for, the highly competitive nature of, and the recent bid activity related to the fabrication of living quarters. The transitional impairment charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002, in the accompanying financial statements. A reconciliation of reported net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and related earnings per share to the adjusted net income and earnings per share to exclude the prior amortization expense of goodwill is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): <Table> <Caption> Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Reported net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 6,947 $ 6,015 Add back: Goodwill amortization -- 325 ------------ ------------ Adjusted net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 6,947 $ 6,340 ============ ============ Basic earnings-per-share Reported net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 0.59 $ 0.51 Add back: Goodwill amortization -- 0.03 ------------ ------------ Adjusted net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 0.59 $ 0.54 ============ ============ Diluted earnings-per-share Reported net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 0.59 $ 0.51 Add back: Goodwill amortization -- 0.03 ------------ ------------ Adjusted net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 0.59 $ 0.54 ============ ============ </Table> NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE Effective September 30, 2002, the Company's existing bank credit facility was amended and restated in order, among other reasons, to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2004. The Company's bank credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") of up to $20.0 million, which bears interest equal to, at the Company's option, the prime lending rate established by Bank One Corporation or LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Revolver matures December 31, 2004, and is secured by a mortgage on the Company's real estate, machinery and equipment, and fixtures. The Company pays a fee on a quarterly basis, of three-sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver. At September 30, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, but the Company did have letters of credit outstanding totaling $5.0 million, which reduces the unused portion of the Revolver. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. -8- NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX PROVISION Income tax expense for interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rates for the entire fiscal year. The effective tax rate applicable to pre-tax earnings was 34% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to the effective rate of 34% for three-month and 35% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. This reduction in the effective rate was the result of anticipated tax benefits arising from an increase in net income attributable to foreign contracts. NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the per share net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $0.59 and the per share cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $0.41 and $0.40 on a basic and diluted per share basis, respectively. The resulting basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 and $0.18, respectively, reflect the impact of rounding on the calculation. -9- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Goodwill Impairment-Southport Acquisition In assessing the recoverability of the Company's excess of cost over fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) from the Southport acquisition, the Company made assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142 the Company adopted the new rules for accounting for goodwill effective January 1, 2002, and completed the required transitional impairment test during the first quarter ended March 31, 2002. As a result of the transitional impairment test, the Company calculated an impairment charge of $4.8 million. The impairment charge was calculated based on fair value using an expected cash flow approach. The Company considered in its expected cash flow projections the continued decline in the demand for, the highly competitive nature of, and the recent bid activity related to the fabrication of living quarters. The transitional impairment charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002, in the accompanying financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 was $40.3 million and $100.6 million, an increase of 32.1% and 9.0%, respectively, compared to $30.5 million and $92.3 million in revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. The volume of direct labor hours applied to contracts in progress increased by 16.6% for the three months and 5.2% for the nine months when comparing the three-month and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 to the same periods of 2001. Gross profit increased $2.1 million or 44.7% and $500,000 or 4.0% when comparing the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, to the comparable periods in 2001. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, gross profit was $6.8 million (16.9% of revenue) and $13.1 million (13.0% of revenue), compared to $4.7 million (15.4% of revenue) and $12.6 million (13.7% of revenue) of gross profit for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. The increase in production volumes accompanied by efficiencies in labor on several jobs in progress resulted in the increase in gross profit margins for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, when compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2001. Although production volumes increased slightly for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, the reduction in product prices and less favorable weather conditions in the first two quarters of 2002 caused the gross profit margin to remain relatively flat. The Company's general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and $3.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. This compared to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended -10- September 30, 2001, and $3.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 2.7% from 3.6% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and decreased to 3.0% from 3.7% of revenue for the comparable nine-month periods. Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill amortization ($108,000 per quarter) was eliminated. Offsetting the elimination of goodwill amortization were increases to costs that vary with sales volumes, primarily labor-related costs, when comparing the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was directly related to the elimination of goodwill amortization when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Company had net interest income of $137,000 and $447,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $286,000 and $847,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. The reduction in interest income was the result of the decrease in income generated from investments during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, due to the sharp decline in interest rates (approximately 52% and 48%, respectively) on short-term investments. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company had other income of $1,000. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, other income was $58,000, of which the majority was related to the sale of miscellaneous equipment. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, the Company had other expense of $628,000 and $737,000, respectively, of which $170,000 and $279,000, respectively, consisted of the Company's share of the MinDOC, L.L.C. activities to design and market the MinDOC floating platform concept for deepwater drilling and production. Prior to October 1, 2001, the Company's investment in MinDOC, L.L.C. was accounted for under the equity method of accounting for investments with its share of operating results included in other as an expense in the statements of income. Effective October 1, 2001, the Company's investment in MinDOC, L.L.C. and its operating results were consolidated within the consolidated financial statements of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, other expense also included $280,000 for the settlement of a lawsuit the Company had been involved in for several years and $180,000 resulting from a loss the Company had on the sale of a facility the Company owned in Harvey, Louisiana. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically the Company has funded its business activities primarily through funds generated from operations. The Company also maintains a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank but has not drawn on it since December 1998. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, working capital was $48.9 million, resulting in a current ratio of 3.2 to 1. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $9.3 million, which included $100,000 of proceeds on the sale of equipment, $9.0 million for capital expenditures, and $419,000 for the purchase of short-term investments. The majority of the capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2002 was related to the construction of a new fabrication building scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2003. -11- The Company's bank credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million, which bears interest equal to, at the Company's option, the prime lending rate established by Bank One Corporation or LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Revolver matures December 31, 2004, and is secured by a mortgage on the Company's real estate, machinery and equipment, and fixtures. The Company pays a fee on a quarterly basis, of three-sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver. At September 30, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, but the Company did have letters of credit outstanding totaling $5.0 million, which reduces the unused portion of the Revolver. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Capital expenditures for the remaining three months of 2002 are estimated to be approximately $3.7 million, including improvements to the facilities and the purchase of various other fabrication machinery and equipment. Management believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities, and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures and its working capital needs. The Company may, however, expand its operations through future acquisitions that may require additional equity or debt financing. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements under "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and other statements in this report and the exhibits hereto that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that include, among others, the timing and extent of changes in the prices of crude oil and natural gas; the timing of new projects and the Company's ability to obtain them; competitive factors in the heavy marine fabrication industry; the Company's ability to successfully complete the testing, production and marketing of the MinDOC and other deep water production systems and to develop and provide financing for them; and the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified production employees at acceptable compensation rates. Changes in these factors could result in changes in the Company's performance and could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
