GULF ISLAND FABRICATION, INC.
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
Houston, TX - Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIFI) today reported a net loss of $3.1 million ($0.21 basic and diluted loss per share) on revenue of $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $0.5 million ($0.04 basic and diluted earnings per share) on revenue of $65.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and a net loss of $10.9 million ($0.73 basic and diluted loss per share) on revenue of $45.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $20.5 million ($1.38 basic and diluted loss per share) on revenue of $133.7 million compared to net income of $7.1 million ($0.48 basic and diluted earnings per share) on revenue of $230.9 million during the comparable 2016 period.
Kirk Meche, the Company's CEO and President, commented, "Results for the third quarter of 2017 are reflective of continuing suppressed market conditions along with revised estimates to complete two vessel construction projects within our Shipyards division. Additionally, we incurred holding costs of $1.1 million during the quarter related to our South Texas facilities which are for sale. Year-to-date holding costs in South Texas were $3.6 million plus another $1.9 million in depreciation which was incurred during the first quarter."
"As stated in prior earnings calls, we are focused on managing our balance sheet and rebuilding contract backlog in new markets. Our revenue backlog of $251.7 million has remained comparable to our last quarter which includes new awards from our Services and Shipyards divisions and is at its highest level in over three years. The majority of our backlog remains in markets primarily outside of oil and gas."
He continued, "On August 25, 2017, our South Texas facilities were impacted by Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall as a category 4 hurricane. We are working diligently with our insurance agents and adjusters to finalize the estimated damages. Based upon our initial assessment of the damages and insurance coverage, we believe that there is no basis to record a net loss at this time."
The Company had revenue backlog of $251.7 million and labor backlog of approximately 1.6 million labor hours at September 30, 2017, compared to revenue backlog of $251.0 million and labor backlog of 1.7 million labor hours reported as of June 30, 2017.

Results of Operations (in thousands, except percentages)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, management reduced its allocation of corporate administrative costs and overhead expenses to its operating divisions such that a significant portion of its corporate expenses are retained in its non-operating Corporate division. In addition, it has also allocated certain personnel previously included in the operating divisions to the Corporate division. In doing so, management believes that it has created a fourth reportable segment with each of its three operating divisions and its Corporate division each meeting the criteria of reportable segments under GAAP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we allocated substantially all of our corporate administrative costs and overhead expenses to our three operating divisions. We have recast our 2016 segment data below in order to conform to the current period presentation. Our results of our operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, are presented below (in thousands, except for percentages).
