GULF ISLAND FABRICATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE THREE—MONTH AND SIX-MONTH

PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), is a leading fabricator of offshore drilling and production platforms and other specialized structures. The Company’s principal corporate office is located in Houston, Texas and its fabrication facilities are location in Houma, Louisiana and San Patricio County, Texas. The Company’s principal markets are concentrated in the offshore regions and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (“Gulf Island,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) serves as a holding company and conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries, which include Gulf Island, L.L.C. (“Gulf Island”) and Gulf Marine Fabricators, L.P. (“Gulf Marine”) both of which perform fabrication of offshore drilling and production platforms and other specialized structures used in the development and production of oil and gas reserves Gulf Island Marine Fabricators, L.L.C. (“Gulf Island Marine”), which performs marine fabrication and construction services), Dolphin Services, L.L.C. (“Dolphin Services”), which performs offshore and onshore fabrication and construction services, Dolphin Steel Sales, L.L.C. (“Dolphin Steel Sales”), which sells steel plate and other steel products and Gulf Island Resources, L.L.C. (“Gulf Island Resources”), which hires laborers with similar rates and terms as those provided by contract labor service companies.

Structures and equipment fabricated by us include: jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms; hull, tendon, and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as “TLPs”, “SPARs”, “FPSOs” and “MinDOCs”); piles; wellhead protectors; subsea templates; various production, compressor and utility modules; offshore living quarters; towboats, offshore support vessels, dry docks, liftboats, tanks and barges. The Company also provides offshore interconnect pipe hook-up, inshore marine construction, manufacture and repair of pressure vessels, heavy lifts such as ship integration and TLP module integration, loading and offloading of jack-up drilling rigs, semi-submersible drilling rigs, TLPs, SPARs or other similar cargo, onshore and offshore scaffolding, piping insulation services, and steel warehousing and sales. For definitions of certain technical terms contained in this Form 10-Q, see the Glossary of Certain Technical Terms contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Cash flows from operating activities for accrued contract losses and prepaid subcontractor costs in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2014 presentation. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 2 – CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE AND RETAINAGE

The principal customers of the Company include major and large independent oil and gas companies, marine companies, and their contractors. Of our contracts receivable balance at June 30, 2014, $45.2 million, or 70.1%, is with three customers. The significant projects for these three customers consist of a deepwater hull for one customer, two separate projects with fabrication and installation of offshore skids for a second customer, and jackets, piles, and topsides for a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project for a third customer.

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s contracts receivable balance included a reserve for bad debt in the amount of $0.9 million, recorded in the third quarter 2013 in connection with a vessel upgrade and outfitting project.

NOTE 3 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

On July 13, 2012, we received notice from our customer, Bluewater Industries, requesting (i) a slowdown of work on ATP Oil & Gas (UK) Limited’s Cheviot project, and (ii) an amendment to the scheduled payment terms under the original contract. On August 16, 2012, we entered into a binding agreement with Bluewater, an engineering consulting firm engaged by ATP UK to oversee the fabrication of the Cheviot project, to amend and restate the original contract and suspend the project. We also entered into a security agreement with Bluewater pursuant to which Bluewater granted us a security interest in certain of its equipment.

As of December 31, 2012, $56.8 million had been billed on the Cheviot project and the outstanding balance was approximately $31.3 million. We recorded a $14.5 million reserve on the balance as of December 31, 2012. All installments under the agreement were paid through February 28, 2013; however the remaining balance of $30.9 million was not paid on or before March 31, 2013, triggering a default by our customer. As of April 1, 2013, the agreement terminated and we initiated action to enforce our rights under the security agreement.

As of June 30, 2013, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities relating to the project was reclassified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet, resulting in a non-cash change in contract receivables, billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, and assets held for sale. There was no additional loss recorded in connection with the non-cash reclassification.

Table of Contents

Assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determined fair value with the assistance of third party valuation specialists, assuming the sale of the underlying assets individually or in the aggregate to a willing market participant, including normal ownership risks assumed by the purchaser, and the sale of certain components at scrap value. We estimated fair value relying primarily on the cost approach and applied the market approach where comparable sales transaction information was readily available. The cost approach is based on current replacement or reproduction costs of the subject assets less depreciation attributable to physical, functional, and economic factors. The market approach involves gathering data on sales and offerings of similar assets in order to value the subject assets. This approach also includes an assumption for the measurement of the loss in value from physical, functional, and economic factors. The fair value of assets held for sale represent Level 3 fair value measurements (as defined by GAAP), based primarily on the limited availability of market pricing information for either identical or similar items. As of June 30, 2014, management estimates that the fair value of these assets held for sale was $13.5 million.

During the first quarter, 2014, we entered into an agreement with the manufacturer of certain equipment, representing approximately 50% of the fair value of assets held for sale, whereby the manufacturer agreed to assist with restoration and marketing efforts, in return for a percentage of the sale proceeds.

To date, we have not sold, licensed, or leased any of the equipment subject to the security agreement; however, we continue to actively market the equipment, and believe that the fair value of the assets is recoverable through the eventual disposition of project deliverables and the enforcement of our security interest in Bluewater’s equipment. However, the ultimate amount we are able to recover for these assets is dependent upon various factors such as our ability to enforce our security interest over all of the deliverables and equipment, as well as market interest in the project deliverables and equipment, which may change in the future. The timing of any sales we are able to consummate and the price we are able to obtain may result in a revision to the recorded fair value amount of any remaining assets held for sale.

NOTE 4 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a credit agreement with Whitney Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with an $80 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to use up to the full amount of the available borrowing base for letters of credit and matures on December 31, 2014. We intend to renew the Credit Facility prior to its expiration.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than real property located in the state of Louisiana. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either the prime lending rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of one-fourth of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2014, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility, and we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.8 million, reducing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility to $32.2 million. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1, a net worth minimum requirement of $250.3 million, debt to net worth ratio of 0.5 to 1, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense ratio of 4.0 to 1. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 5 – CONTRACT COSTS

We define pass-through costs as material, freight, equipment rental, and sub-contractor services included in the direct costs of revenue associated with projects.

 

- 9 -


Table of Contents

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion accounting method for fabrication contracts. Revenue from fixed-price or unit rate contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the efforts-expended method which measures the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours to complete each contract. This progress percentage is applied to our estimate of total anticipated gross profit for each contract to determine gross profit earned to date. Revenue recognized in a period for a contract is the amount of gross profit recognized for that period plus pass-through costs incurred on the contract during the period. Consequently, pass-through costs are included in revenue but have no impact in the determination of gross profit for a particular period.

Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue were 50.9% and 53.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue were 50.1% and 54.7% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts include unbilled costs of $5.5 million relating to three major customers. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings include advances of $12.7 million from three major customers.

The Company recorded losses of $3.7 million and $4.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, for certain marine projects.

At June 30, 2014, we recorded revenue totaling $5.2 million related to certain change orders on three projects which have been approved as to scope but not price. We expect to resolve these change orders in the third quarter of 2014. At June 30, 2013, we recorded revenue totaling $1.7 million related to certain change orders on two projects that had been approved as to scope but not price. All unapproved items as of June 30, 2013 have been subsequently approved in the normal course of business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements under “Backlog,” “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 are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from the results and outcomes predicted in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations or projections include those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013). We believe that our accounting policy on revenue recognition involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. Critical accounting policies are discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes in our evaluation of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013.

Backlog

Our backlog is based on management’s estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete, and the remaining revenue to be recognized with respect to those projects for which a customer has authorized us to begin work or purchase materials pursuant to written contracts, letters of intent or other forms of authorization. As engineering and design plans are finalized or changes to existing plans are made, management’s estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete a project and the price of a project at completion is likely to change.

All projects currently included in our backlog are generally subject to suspension, termination, or a reduction in scope at the option of the customer, although the customer is ordinarily required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination, suspension, or reduction in scope. In addition, customers have the ability to delay the execution of projects.

As of June 30, 2014, we had a revenue backlog of $223.8 million and a labor backlog of approximately 2.1 million man-hours remaining to work, including commitments received through July 16, 2014, compared to a revenue backlog of $358.7 million and a labor backlog of 3.3 million man-hours reported as of December 31, 2013.

Of our backlog at June 30, 2014,

 

    68.9% was for the three largest customers compared to 69.1% for the three largest customers at December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents
    $129.8 million, or 58.1%, represented projects destined for deepwater locations compared to $224.5 million, or 62.6%, at December 31, 2013.

 

    $12.4 million, or 5.5%, represented projects destined for foreign locations compared to $28.7 million, or 8.0%, at December 31, 2013.

Projects for our three largest customers consist of a jacket, piles, and topsides for a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project for one customer, which commenced in the second and third quarters of 2013, respectively; two 214 foot offshore supply vessels (OSVs) for a second customer, which commenced in the first quarter of 2013; and two projects for the fabrication and installation of offshore skids for one customer, which commenced in the second quarter of 2013. The deepwater project is scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of 2015; the first OSV is expected to ship during the second quarter of 2014; the second OSV is expected to ship during the fourth quarter of 2014; and the fabrication and installation of skids are scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the end of 2015, respectively.

Depending on the size of the project, the termination, postponement, or reduction in scope of any one project could significantly reduce our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on revenue, net income and cash flow.

As of June 30, 2014, we expect to recognize revenue from our backlog of approximately

 

    $164.1 million, or 73.3%, during the remaining six months of 2014,

 

    $58.6 million, or 26.2%, during the calendar year 2015, and

 

    $1.1 million, or 0.5%, during the calendar year 2016.

The timing of our recognition of the revenue backlog as presented above is based on management’s estimates of the application of the direct labor hours to complete the projects in our backlog. Certain factors and circumstances, as mentioned above, could cause changes in timing of the recognition of revenue from our backlog as well as the ultimate amounts recorded.

Based on the activity of the major oil and gas companies and certain engineering companies, we expect bids for deepwater projects to be available in the second half of 2014 or early 2015. Bidding activity for non-traditional Gulf of Mexico (“GOM”) marine related projects, GOM shallow water projects, and ancillary work associated with deepwater structures is expected to continue in the second half of 2014.

Workforce

As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately 1,900 employees and approximately 200 contract employees, compared to approximately 1,900 employees and approximately 470 contract employees as of December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

Man-hours worked were 1.9 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 2.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The major factors contributing to the decrease in man-hours worked for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 were the significant effort towards completion of work on two deepwater projects and higher utilization of subcontract work in the second half of 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by increased work on jacket, piles, and topside projects for a large deepwater customer, destined for the Gulf of Mexico in the first half of 2014.

Results of Operations

Our revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $129.2 million and $154.6 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 16.4%. Our revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $263.9 million and $305.0 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 13.5%.

The decrease in revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to substantial revenue for a large deepwater project and higher levels of revenue from pass-through costs recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue were 50.9% and 53.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue were 50.1% and 54.7% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Pass-through costs decreased primarily due to lesser amounts of subcontractor services and direct materials incurred on several projects as they entered into the latter stages of completion in the first half of 2014. Pass-through costs, as described in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are included in revenue, but have no impact on the gross profit for any given period.

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, gross profit was $10.3 million (8.0% of revenue) and $9.7 million (6.3% of revenue), respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to a loss of $11.0 million recognized in the second quarter 2013, related to a contract with a large deepwater customer. Additionally, the Company experienced higher level of offshore commissioning and hook-up activity during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This work was performed on a time-and-materials basis and generated improved profit margins. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by losses of $3.7 million incurred on certain marine projects during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, gross profit was $19.1 million (7.2% of revenue) and $16.4 million (5.4% of revenue), respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to a loss of $11.0 million recognized in the second quarter 2013, related to a contract with a large deepwater customer, and to a lesser extent, increased gross profit margins in the first quarter 2014 associated with the fabrication and completion of topside and hull projects for a large deepwater customer, after conversion of contract pricing terms from a unit rate basis to a capped time and materials basis. Additionally, the Company experienced a higher level of offshore commissioning and hook-up activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This work was performed on a time-and-materials basis and generated improved profit margins. The increases in gross profit mentioned above were partially offset by losses of $4.7 million incurred on certain marine projects during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

General and administrative expenses were $3.9 million and $7.2 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $5.2 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were 3.0% and 2.7%, respectively, compared to 1.8% and 1.7% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Factors that contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 include:

 

    the addition of three consultants to assist with the marketing efforts of the Cheviot topsides and potential FLNG opportunities;

 

    increases in expenses related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Houston, Texas and the hiring of additional corporate staff members to support operations; and

 

    increases in expenses associated with an increase in the number of directors serving on our board.

The Company had net interest expense of $23,000 and $44,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to net interest expense of $60,000 and $123,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net interest expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by a reduction in interest expense as a result of decreased borrowings on our line of credit during the first six months of 2014.

The Company had $8,000 of other income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to other expense of $43,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The Company had other expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 of $96,000, compared to other expense of $43,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Other income and expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, primarily represents gains or losses on sales of property, plant, and equipment.

Our effective income tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was 33%, compared to an effective tax rate of 36% for the comparable periods of 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to an increase in our estimated Federal qualified production activities income deduction and a decrease in Louisiana state income tax apportionment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our business activities through cash generated from operations. The Company has a credit agreement with Whitney Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with an $80 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement

Table of Contents

also allows the Company to use up to the full amount of the available borrowing base for letters of credit and matures on December 31, 2014. We intend to renew the Credit Facility prior to its expiration. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, other than real property located in the state of Louisiana. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either the prime lending rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of one-fourth of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Credit Facility.

At July 29, 2014, no amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility, and we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.8 million, reducing the unused portion of the Credit Facility to $32.2 million. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1 a minimum net worth requirement of $250.3 million, debt to net worth ratio of 0.5 to 1, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense ratio of 4.0 to 1. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants, and had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $31.4 million, compared to $36.6 million at December 31, 2013. Working capital was $84.6 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.35 to 1 at June 30, 2014. Our primary use of cash during the period was related to capital expenditures including the purchase of two cranes for our Texas facility.

In connection with work associated with a completed hull and topside project for a large deepwater customer in the first quarter 2014, we had a receivable balance of $16.1 million at June 30, 2014, of which $0.6 million was subsequently received. We expect to collect the remaining balance in the fourth quarter of 2014 in the normal course of business.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 net cash provided by operating activities was $18.1 million, compared to $15.2 million at June 30, 2013. The increase in cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, was primarily due to lower contract related activities during the first six months of 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $20.4 million, compared to $7.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Investing activities for 2014 were primarily related to capital expenditures for equipment, including the purchase of two cranes for our Texas facility.

We anticipate capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 to be approximately $10.2 million. Included in anticipated expenditures for the next two quarters is the purchase of equipment and additional yard and facility infrastructure improvements, including $4.1 million of maintenance capital expenditures at our Texas and Louisiana facilities, $1.1 million for yard improvements and $2.1 million for a plate roller at our Texas facility.

 

- 16 -


Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.9 million related to payments of dividends.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents, generated by operating activities, our investment in net contract position, and funds available under the revolver will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures and meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. However, job awards may require us to issue additional letters of credit further reducing the capacity available on our revolving line of credit.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes from the information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. For more information on our contractual obligations, refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There have been no changes during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
