Exhibit 99.1


            McDermott Reports Fourth Quarter 2006 Results;
      Net Income of $141 Million, $1.23 per Fully Diluted Share

         Strong Project Execution Leads to Record 2006 Results

    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2007--McDermott International,
Inc. (NYSE:MDR) ("McDermott" or the "Company") today reported net
income of $141.0 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the 2006
fourth quarter, compared to net income of $36.1 million, or $0.32 per
diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2005. Weighted average
common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately
114.4 million and 112.3 million for the quarters ended December 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. For 2005, the Company's
common shares outstanding and earnings per share are adjusted to
reflect the 3-for-2 stock split effected in May 2006.

    McDermott's revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $1,308.0
million, compared to $395.9 million in the corresponding period in
2005. Operating income was $86.3 million in the 2006 fourth quarter,
compared to $56.2 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. The increase in
revenues and operating income is primarily attributable to the
reconsolidation of The Babcock & Wilcox Company's ("B&W") financial
results beginning in March 2006. In addition, operating income of the
Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment increased by over 30 percent
compared to its fourth quarter of 2005.

    During the fourth quarter of 2006, McDermott recorded the
recognition of a $94.1 million tax benefit partially offset by certain
other items. To assist investors in their analysis of McDermott's
quarterly performance, the Company calculated non-GAAP earnings
excluding these items. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2006, the
Company's non-GAAP operating income was $113.3 million, non-GAAP net
income was $83.8 million, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were
$0.73. Please see Appendix A for the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
amounts to McDermott's GAAP results.

    "The fourth quarter completed a highly successful year for
McDermott," said Bruce W. Wilkinson, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of McDermott. "For the 2006 year, the Company
generated new records for backlog, revenue, and operating income, and
despite the expected loss of a major project this week, the outlook
for our markets continues to be strong in 2007."

    At December 31, 2006, McDermott's consolidated backlog was $7.6
billion, compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2005 which excluded
B&W and $8.6 billion at September 30, 2006. Consolidated backlog at
December 31, 2006 excludes the amounts associated with the TXU boiler
and SCR contracts, which the Company believes will no longer be fully
realized.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    2006 Fourth Quarter Compared to 2005 Fourth Quarter

    Offshore Oil & Gas Construction Segment ("J. Ray")

    Revenues in the Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment were
$475.9 million in the 2006 fourth quarter, compared to $250.3 million
for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in
revenues resulted primarily from increased activity in the Middle East
and Asia Pacific regions.

    Segment income for the 2006 fourth quarter was $48.7 million,
compared to $37.0 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. Major items
contributing to operating income in the 2006 fourth quarter were
projects in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Caspian regions. During
the fourth quarter of 2006, J. Ray mobilized a construction vessel to
the Eastern Hemisphere from the Gulf of Mexico market and recognized a
transportation expense of approximately $7 million.

    At December 31, 2006, J. Ray's backlog was $4.1 billion, compared
to backlog of $1.8 billion and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2005 and
September 30, 2006, respectively.

    Power Generation Systems Segment ("B&W")

    Revenues in the Power Generation Systems segment for the fourth
quarter 2006 were $676.8 million. During 2005, B&W was deconsolidated
and therefore there were no revenues reported for this segment during
the fourth quarter of 2005.

    Segment income for the 2006 fourth quarter was $24.8 million,
compared to $4.8 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. The increase in
segment income was due to the reconsolidation of B&W beginning in the
first quarter 2006. During the 2006 fourth quarter, the Company
recorded a total of $27 million in expense related to the final
settlement in the Citgo litigation, an estimated warranty claim on a
dated project and the current-year loss penalty premium for casualty
insurers related to the Citgo litigation. Excluding these items, B&W's
non-GAAP operating income was $51.8 million. Please see Appendix A for
the reconciliation of these non-GAAP amounts to McDermott's GAAP
results.

    At December 31, 2006, B&W's backlog was $2.2 billion compared to
$3.2 billion at September 30, 2006 and a deconsolidated backlog at
December 31, 2005 of $2.1 billion. B&W's backlog at December 31, 2006
excludes the amounts associated with the TXU boiler and SCR contracts,
which the Company believes will no longer be fully realized.

    Government Operations Segment ("BWXT")

    Revenues in the Government Operations segment were $158.3 million
in the 2006 fourth quarter, compared to $145.6 million for the same
period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes in
the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government
programs, higher volumes of fuel production for research test reactors
and increased fuel development for the Department of Energy for use in
commercial reactors.

    Segment income for the 2006 fourth quarter was $19.9 million,
compared to $26.3 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. The decrease was
due to lower margins in the manufacture of nuclear components for
certain U.S. Government programs and increased selling, general and
administrative expenses related to business development in the United
Kingdom, pension plans and Department of Energy specialty fuel
development.

    At December 31, 2006, BWXT's backlog was $1.3 billion, compared to
backlog of $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2005 and
September 30, 2006, respectively.

    Corporate

    Unallocated corporate expenses were $7.0 million in the 2006
fourth quarter, compared to $11.9 million in the 2005 fourth quarter.
The decrease was primarily related to lower legal expenses as a result
of the completion of the B&W Chapter 11 settlement.

    Other Income and Expense

    The Company's other expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was
$4.2 million, compared to $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The year-over-year variance is due to a $4.7 million loss on early
retirement of debt and $5.3 million IRS interest expense adjustment,
partially offset by a $5.7 million improvement in net interest
income/expense resulting from the retirement of $250 million of the
Company's debt in June 2006 and increased cash balances.

    Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Disclosure

    In accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, McDermott cautions that
statements in this press release, which are forward-looking and
provide other than historical information, involve risks and
uncertainties that may impact the Company's actual results of
operations. These forward-looking statements include statements about
backlog, to the extent backlog may be viewed as an indicator of future
revenues, and the strength of the outlook for the markets in which we
operate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in those
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance
that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Those
statements are made by using various underlying assumptions and are
subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, including, but not
limited to, risks that awards and contracts in backlog may not result
in the expected revenues and risks that there are adverse changes in
those markets. If one or more of these risks materialize, or if
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those expected. For a more complete discussion of
these and other risk factors, please see McDermott's annual and
quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including its report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.

    In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with
GAAP, the Company also discloses non-GAAP operating results for the
Company and B&W that exclude certain expenses related to litigation,
related insurance and warranty expense and, for the Company, certain
income related to a tax benefit. The Company is providing the non-GAAP
measures to supplement the results provided in this press release in
accordance with GAAP and it should not be considered superior to, or
as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures. However, the
Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into
the Company's ongoing operational performance and enable investors to
perform meaningful comparisons with current and historical operating
results. The Company expects to use these non-GAAP measures internally
to evaluate the Company's and B&W's operations for such purposes as
budget planning and performance goals. The Company also considers
these non-GAAP measures to be an important supplemental measure of its
and B&W's performance.
