Tidewater Reports Results for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2019

By: Tidewater Inc. via Business Wire News Releases

May 06, 2019 at 16:16 PM EDT

Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) announced today revenue for the three-months ended March 31, 2019, of $122.1 million and a net loss for the same period of $21.7 million (or $0.58 per common share). Excluding certain costs outlined below, net loss for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 was $18.0 million (or $0.49 per common share).

John T. Rynd, Tidewater’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “March 31 marked the first full quarter with Tidewater and GulfMark operating as a combined company and I’m pleased that the benefits of this merger are immediately evident. With a larger vessel fleet, revenues were up 33% as compared to the same period in 2018 and up 11% from the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Demonstrating the value of leveraging Tidewater’s existing global platform and our team’s progress towards meeting our merger synergy targets, G&A continued its downward trend during the quarter, reaching the same level as the quarter ended March 31, 2018. We continue to make progress in improving our shore base cost structure, and we are now positioning ourselves to exit 2019 with an annual G&A run rate of $87 million.

Capital discipline, both working capital discipline and capital expenditure discipline, is key to exceeding the return on capital objectives we have set for ourselves. The entire team is focused on obtaining these goals and our long-term compensation incentives are driven by return on capital targets. Discipline on the capital tied up in our fleet in lay-up is also part of that focus and considerable progress has been made towards meeting our ambitious goal of selling or recycling 40 additional vessels by the end of the year, with 16 vessel dispositions already completed in the first quarter and more in process.

There are strong indications that E&P spending offshore will increase this year, driving steadily improving drilling activity and the availability of OSVs in several key markets within which we have a large presence, such as the North Sea and West Africa, has shown signs of tightening as we enter the seasonally more active summer season. With strong OSV sector leadership positions in almost every market in the world, Tidewater is best-positioned to benefit from the upside as the market continues improves through 2019.”

Included in the $21.7 million ($0.58 per common share) net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were the following costs were general and administrative expenses for severance and similar expenses related to integrating Tidewater and GulfMark operations of $3.7 million ($0.10 per common share).

Common shares, New Creditor Warrants, GulfMark Creditor Warrants, and the sum of common shares, New Creditor Warrants and GulfMark Creditor Warrants outstanding at March 31, 2019 were 37,381,954, 2,070,463, 2,046,795 and 41,499,212, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose and discuss EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest and other debt costs, loss on debt extinguishments, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, merger and integration related items included in general and administrative expenses and asset impairments. Our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We view EBITDA both as a performance and liquidity measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to it are net income and net cash provided (used) in operating activities, respectively. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash provided (used) in operating activities, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ability to service debt, pay taxes and fund drydocking and survey costs and capital expenditures. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iii) to assess our ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness.
