Cal Dive Reports First Quarter 2012 Results
HOUSTON, TX – (April 30, 2012) Cal Dive International, Inc. (NYSE:DVR) reported a first quarter 2012 loss of $24.3 million, or $.26 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $18.7 million, or $.20 per diluted share for first quarter 2011. Included in the first quarter 2012 results is a $1.4 million ($.01 per diluted share) impairment charge relating to a non-core asset. Aside from the impairment charge, the increase in the loss is primarily due to the regulatory drydocks of three of the Company’s most profitable assets during the first quarter 2012, including longer than expected out of service time for the upgrade of the Uncle John to enable the vessel to perform light well intervention work. The upgrade was not completed until early April. With the upgrade completed, the vessel is now working and is contracted for nearly all of the remainder of 2012. In addition, the Company experienced higher activity in the first quarter 2011 from a large construction project in the Bahamas that did not re-occur in the first quarter 2012. Partially offsetting the activity decreases were lower costs.
Quinn Hébert, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cal Dive, stated, “Our first quarter results reflect the regulatory dry docking of three of our most profitable assets combined with the typical winter seasonality in the US Gulf of Mexico. The financial impact from the combined out of service time for the three assets in drydock was greater than expected as the upgrade of the Uncle John, our most profitable asset, took longer than expected, which prevented it from working during the entire first quarter. The good news is that the vessel is now working and it is booked for most of the rest of the year. In addition, our first quarter financial results were negatively impacted by the delay to the second quarter of the majority of a large salvage project.
“Now that the drydocks and winter weather are behind us, we look forward to increased activity levels in the second quarter, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. However, pricing is expected to remain relatively flat as the activity levels are still recovering. In Mexico, we commenced a construction project in early April. We look for meaningful improvement in our financial results for the second quarter of 2012.”
Financial Highlights
|
·
|
Backlog: Contracted backlog was $260 million as of March 31, 2012, of which 82% is expected to be performed in 2012. This compares to backlog of $178 million at December 31, 2011 and $190 million at March 31, 2011.
|
|
·
|
Revenues: First quarter 2012 revenues decreased by $35.4 million to $60.0 million as compared to first quarter 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced activity levels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico due to three of the Company’s most profitable assets being in drydock for the majority of the first quarter 2012, and higher activity in the first quarter 2011 from a large construction project in the Bahamas that did not re-occur in the first quarter 2012.
|
|
·
|
Gross Loss: First quarter 2012 gross loss increased by $9.2 million to $16.4 million as compared to first quarter 2011. The increase in the loss is primarily due to the same reasons as the revenue decrease discussed above partially offset by lower costs.
|
|
·
|
SG&A: First quarter 2012 SG&A decreased by $2.5 million to $13.5 million as compared to first quarter 2011. The decrease is primarily due to various cost reduction measures implemented by the Company in response to the current level of business activity. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 22.5% for the first quarter 2012 compared to 16.7% for the first quarter 2011. The increase in percentage is due to the revenue decrease in first quarter 2012 described above.
|
|
·
|
Net Interest Expense: First quarter 2012 net interest expense increased by $0.3 million to $2.3 million as compared to first quarter 2011, primarily due to higher interest rate margins under the Company’s credit facility.
|
|
·
|
Income Tax: The effective tax benefit rate for the first quarter 2012 was 25.1% compared to 16.8% for the first quarter 2011. The increase in the tax benefit rate was primarily due to a non-cash valuation allowance established during the first quarter 2011 relating to certain foreign losses and a higher percentage of the pre-tax losses generated in tax jurisdictions with lower rates during the first quarter of 2011.
|
|
·
|
Balance Sheet: Debt consisted of $150.0 million under a term loan and $20.0 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility, and cash and cash equivalents were $9.2 million, for a net debt position of $160.8 million as of March 31, 2012, compared to net debt positions of $134.4 million at December 31, 2011 and $155.4 million at March 31, 2011.

In addition to net income, one primary measure that the Company uses to evaluate financial performance is earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. The Company uses EBITDA to measure operational strengths and the performance of its business and not to measure liquidity. EBITDA does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA presentations may vary among companies; thus, the Company's EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company believes EBITDA is useful as a measurement tool because it helps investors evaluate and compare operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of capital structure (primarily interest charges from outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization of vessels) from operating results. The Company's management uses EBITDA in communications with lenders, rating agencies and others, concerning financial performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA to income (loss) attributable to Cal Dive, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of the Company's operating results:
