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 any way anticipated
or projected by the Company, involve many risks and uncertainties. Among
those risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the

competitors and vessel overcapacity; changes in levels of capital spending in
domestic and international markets by customers in the energy industry for
exploration, development and production; unsettled political conditions, civil
unrest and governmental actions, especially in higher risk countries of
operations; changing customer demands for different vessel specifications; acts
of terrorism; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and governmental
actions, especially in higher risk countries of operations; foreign currency
fluctuations; and environmental and labor laws. 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.

Average 45 vessel disposals per year in future (versus an average of 50+ vessel dispositions per year over last 3 years).
2)
Includes 25 vessels under construction, including 3 vessel purchase commitments (based on current estimated delivery
schedule), plus additional newbuilds/acquisitions of ~20 vessels per year (approximately $500 million in new capital
commitments per year). Tidewater is not committed to spending $500 million annually, but we use this assumption in
estimating average fleet age in the future.
