FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, the Company notes that certain statements set forth in this presentation provide other
than historical information and are forward looking. The actual achievement of any forecasted
results, or the unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way anticipated or
projected by the Company, involve numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause the
Company’s
actual
performance
to
be
materially
different
from
that
stated
or
implied
in
the
forward-looking statement. Among those risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company, include, without limitation, fluctuations in worldwide energy demand
and oil and gas prices; fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changes in
capital spending by customers in the energy industry for offshore exploration, development and
production; changing customer demands for vessel specifications,
which may make some of our
older vessels technologically obsolete for certain customer projects or in certain markets;
instability of global financial markets and difficulty accessing
credit or capital; acts of terrorism
and piracy; significant weather conditions; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and
governmental actions, such as expropriation, especially in higher risk countries of operations;
foreign currency fluctuations; labor influences proposed by international conventions; and
enforcement of laws related to the environment, labor and foreign corrupt practices.
Participants should consider all of these risk factors as well as other information contained in
the Company’s form 10-K’s and 10-Q’s.

Significant Average
Age Improvement
31
Assumptions:  1) Average 45 vessel disposals per year in future (averaged 47 per year last three years).
2) Include
36 vessels under construction ( including three purchase commitments) in year delivered plus additional
newbuilds/acquisitions
from
approximately
$500
million
per
year
of
future
commitments
(average
additional
20
vessels
per year). Tidewater is not committed to spending $500 million annually, but this level is used as an assumption in
estimating average fleet age in the future.
