EXHIBIT 99.1 Oceaneering Announces First Quarter Earnings May 6, 2003- Houston, Texas - Oceaneering International, Inc. (NYSE:OII) today reported first quarter earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. On revenues of $140.7 million, Oceaneering generated net income of $6.0 million, or $0.25 per common share. On a comparable basis for the first quarter of 2002, Oceaneering reported revenues of $138.8 million and net income of $8.4 million, or $0.35 per common share. Due to the acquisition of OIS International Inspection plc (OISI) during the quarter and the resulting increased presence in the Inspection & NDT business, Oceaneering has divided its former Other Services business segment into two segments: Subsea Projects and Inspection & NDT commencing this quarter. Historical financial information reflecting new segments is included in the attached tables, by quarter, for 2001 and 2002. Summary of Results For the Periods Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share amounts) Three months ended March 31, 2003 2002 ---- ---- Revenues $140,669 $138,849 Gross Margin $24,163 $26,010 Income from Operations $11,457 $15,100 Net Income $6,035 $8,364 Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.25 $0.35 Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares 24,500 24,219 The decline in net income was attributable to a lower profit contribution from Oceaneering's oil and gas-related business activities, reflecting industry market conditions. John Huff, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Results for the quarter slightly exceeded the Street's expectation and were on the high end of our forecast. This was very encouraging considering the challenging market conditions for oilfield services and products. We are pleased with the fact we continued to have a profit contribution from all of our oilfield business segment operations, even in the perplexing environment of high commodity prices and reduced activity levels. - more - "Revenue and gross margin for our Inspection & NDT business grew significantly as the result of our acquisition of OISI early in the quarter. The decline in revenue and gross margin from the rest of our oilfield service and product segments came as no surprise for reasons relating to industry market conditions, which are widely known: Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) - weak demand for drill support services on floating offshore rigs rated to drill in less than 3,000 feet of water; Subsea Products - umbilical order delays, although backlog did increase to $31 million at quarter's end; Subsea Projects - Gulf of Mexico subsea project timing issues and an expectation of a reduced 2003 contribution from our diving operations - utilization of our two Ocean Intervention vessels was 51% compared to 91% for the first quarter last year; and Mobile Offshore Production Systems - the lower Ocean Legend dayrate that went into effect last May. Subsea Projects gross margin was positively impacted by $1.9 million of expense estimate changes. Cost contingencies were determined to not be necessary due to a favorable completion of an installation project and the settlement of a personal injury claim. "Advanced Technologies segment financial results improved due to higher margin contracts and operating efficiencies. Furthermore, we benefited from a lower level of Unallocated Expenses that are related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans; a lower Oceaneering stock price results in less restricted stock expense. "During the quarter we continued to have strong cash flow. Our capital expenditures were $38 million, of which $27 million was spent on the OISI acquisition. In addition to our internal growth and acquisitions, we repurchased 505,000 shares of Oceaneering common stock. Our cash balance at quarter's end was $40 million. We remain committed to use our financial strength to make accretive investments, which will expand and augment our existing operations, as well as to continue share repurchases as conditions warrant. "Our 2003 EPS outlook remains $1.40 to $1.60, as we believe the demand for our ROV, Subsea Products, and Subsea Projects business offerings is escalating. We are projecting earnings per share in the range of $0.33 to $0.37 for the second quarter. "Looking further ahead, our preliminary assessment of achieving EPS growth of 15% to 25% in 2004 is unchanged. This is based on our expectations of improving market demand for our services and products, driven by increased floating drilling rig use and subsea completion activity; incremental earnings contribution from additional asset investments; and possible future share repurchases."
