Built for success, positioned for growth Total funded debt of $572 million at end of Q4 2014: $200 million Convertible Senior Notes – 3.25% (A) ($179 million net of unamortized debt discount) $277 million Term Loan – LIBOR + 2.25% (B) Annual amortization payments of 5% in years 1 and 2, 10% per annum in years 3 through 5 $95 million MARAD Debt – 4.93% Semi-annual amortization payments Convertible Notes Term Loan MARAD Debt Stated maturity 2032. First put / call date is March 2018. We have fixed through October 2016 the LIBOR interest rate on 50% of the Term Loan debt at 0.75% utilizing interest rate swaps. * Debt Instrument Profile

Built for success, positioned for growth 2015 Outlook *
Built for success, positioned for growth * 2015 Outlook 2014 in Review 2014 was an outstanding year for Helix, exceeding our own expectations with $378 million of EBITDA Both the Well Intervention and Robotics business segments posted record results Excluding one-time items and the favorable impact of the extraordinary margins earned off of the Skandi Constructor’s “out-of-market” campaigns, a more normalized 2014 EBITDA result would have been closer to $350 million Funded $368 million of capex (mostly growth) internally Moving Ahead to 2015 2015 will be a challenging year as a result of the following factors: Collapse in oil prices drives a reduction in spending by our customers across the supply chain; Helix will not be immune. Our customers are aggressively cutting spending and certain of our customers are seeking to renegotiate contracts, defer contracted work into later periods, as well as seeking to cancel contracts even with cancellation fees. The sharp decline in the U.K. sterling versus the dollar is expected to impact our North Sea based operations by approximately $15 – $20 million (EBITDA) Above average dry docking this year is estimated to impact our results another $30 million in EBITDA (Seawell, Q4000, and H534)
Built for success, positioned for growth * 2015 Outlook Moving Ahead to 2015 – cont’d Lower oil prices will reduce our “tolling” revenues from the Production Facilities business by an estimated $10 million Q5000 expected to be completed in Q1 and available for service in Q3 of 2015 The current market environment with the collapse in oil prices renders the 2015 outlook challenging, as well as impossible to forecast with any degree of clarity. The combination of factors cited above will produce a 2015 year below 2014 results. We caution that the market situation is very dynamic and therefore we cannot quantify with any degree of certainty, but to say that 2015 is likely to be well below 2014 results.
Built for success, positioned for growth Total backlog as of December 31, 2014 was approximately $2.3 billion, of which approximately $2.1 billion is associated with our Well Intervention and Robotics businesses(1) Both the Q4000 (excluding dry dock) and the Well Enhancer are expected to have good utilization in 2015 A recent customer cancellation (with penalty) for the H534 has left a gap in its schedule; however there is work for the vessel in Q2 / Q3 The Seawell and Skandi Constructor are expected to have lower levels of utilization in 2014 * 2015 Outlook (1) This year end number is subject to customer cancellation and other modifications which is more likely in the current industry environment.
Built for success, positioned for growth Robotics market impacted by the same macro conditions impacting energy markets; record 2014 unlikely to be matched in 2015 Olympic Canyon to continue operations offshore India under firm commitment through June, with two 6-month options remaining on current contract with customer in India Grand Canyon I, T1200 and i-Trencher to complete current cable burial project offshore Qatar Q2 2015 and has backlog for several trenching projects during the summer season Lower activity associated with spot market vessels, as the long-term chartered fleet increases to six vessels by Q3 2015 with Grand Canyon II and III entering the fleet Vessels serving this segment of the market are well over-supplied, but our trenching capabilities provide some stability While we don’t expect Robotics to achieve 2014 record performance, 2015 results should still produce decent results, somewhere between 2013 and 2014 numbers * 2015 Outlook
Built for success, positioned for growth 2015 capex budget of approximately $400 million consisting of the following(1): $305 million in growth capital; primarily for newbuilds currently underway, including: $170 million for Q5000 (includes $15 million contingency) $40 million for Q7000 $65 million for Siem Helix #1 and 2 monohull vessels $15 million in Robotics $15 million for new subsea equipment, including jointly owned with OneSubea $35 million remaining on the Seawell refit in 2015 $60 million in maintenance capital $35 million for the Q4000 and H534 dry dock $20 million in IRS maintenance, spares and upgrades $3 million in Robotics maintenance $2 million in other * 2015 Outlook – Capex (1) Although we have budgeted $400 million, we are seeking to reduce aggregate capex in 2015 whenever possible.

Built for success, positioned for growth We calculate Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as earnings before net interest expense and other, taxes, depreciation and amortization. This non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance; it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to company, and help investors meaningfully compare our results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead is supplemental to, income from operations, net income and other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded from this measure. * Non-GAAP Reconciliations
