Tidewater Reports First Quarter Results For Fiscal 2014

NEW ORLEANS, LA. August 6, 2013 — Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) announced today first quarter net earnings for the period ended June 30, 2013, of $30.1 million, or $0.61 per common share, on revenues of $334.1 million. For the same quarter last year, net earnings were $32.9 million, or $0.65 per common share, on revenues of $294.4 million. The immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2013, had net earnings of $46.6 million, or $0.95 per common share, on revenues of $328.3 million.

Net earnings for the June 30, 2013 quarter reflect $4.6 million ($3.3 million after tax, or $0.07 per common share) in non-recurring costs, including $3.7 million ($2.4 million after tax, or $0.05 per common share) of transaction fees associated with the June 2013 acquisition of Troms Offshore Supply AS and a $0.9 million ($0.9 million after tax, or $0.02 per common share) charge related to the settlement of the previously disclosed assessment by the Customs Department of Equatorial Guinea, both of which are included in general and administrative expenses.

Financial results of Troms Offshore Supply AS are included in the current quarter from June 4, 2013, the date of the acquisition, through June 30, 2013.

As previously announced, Tidewater will hold a conference call to discuss June quarterly earnings on Tuesday, August 6, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. Central time.

A replay of the conference call will be available beginning at 12:00 p.m. Central time on August 6, 2013, and will continue until 11:59 p.m. Central time on August 8, 2013.
