Tidewater Reports Results for the Three Months Ending March 31, 2021

May 06, 2021 at 16:15 PM EDT

Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) announced today revenue for the three months ending March 31, 2021 of $83.5 million compared with $116.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2020. Tidewater's net losses for the three months ending March 31, 2021, were $35.3 million ($0.87 per common share) compared with $18.4 million ($0.46 per common share) for the three months ending March 31, 2020. Included in the net losses for the three months ending March 31, 2021 were severance expenses totaling $0.1 million; excluding these costs, we would have reported a net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2021 of $35.2 million ($0.86 per common share). Included in the net losses for the three months ending March 31, 2020 were $10.3 million in long-lived asset impairments and one-time severance expenses; excluding these costs, net losses for the three months ending March 31, 2020 were $8.1 million (or $0.20 per common share).

Quintin Kneen, Tidewater’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report that we once again generated free cash flow for the latest quarter. In the first quarter of 2021, we generated $19.2 million of free cash flow and for the trailing twelve months, which were the most difficult twelve months the company has ever seen, we generated $87.1 million of free cash flow.

"Since late 2018, we have dedicated ourselves to building an offshore vessel company that is able to generate positive free cash flow throughout the business cycle by optimizing the earnings potential of the fleet, being the lowest cost operator and by adroitly managing drydocks and capital investments. The shore base infrastructure we have built is highly scalable and the operations have a substantial degree of operating leverage. I look forward to the acceleration in cash generation that will result from combined benefit of higher day rates as we enter a more balanced supply and demand environment and the lower per unit administrative cost of our scalable shore based infrastructure as more vessels are put to work.

“Compared to the first quarter of last year, revenue was down 28%, which is in line with the expectations we set out on the first quarter call last year after the pandemic broke. Operating costs were down 23%. Pandemic-driven inefficiencies kept operating expenses a bit higher than they otherwise would have been. General and administrative costs are down 25% since the first quarter of 2020. We have demonstrated again that we can swiftly and seamlessly adjust the scale of our operations to meet market demand.

“Our ongoing fleet development program includes the sale or recycling of vessels that are deemed uneconomic or that otherwise do not meet our future strategic goals, and during the first quarter we disposed of six vessels for $11.0 million.

“During the quarter, we reduced outstanding debt by $26.4 million and decreased our net debt position by $14.4 million. We ended the quarter with $143.4 million of cash on hand. We repurchased $11.8 million of the 2022 bonds at 100.5% of par during the first quarter.

“As highlighted in our recently issued inaugural sustainability report, which I encourage you to read, although 2020 posed many unique challenges, nothing caused us to waver from our environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. While the report covers a great deal of what we have and continue to strive to achieve, I want to underscore that maintaining a safe working environment for our employees is a cornerstone of the Tidewater culture. During calendar year 2020, our employees clocked in more than 17 million hours and we had no lost time incidents. This is a tremendous achievement and I want to thank all of our employees for their dedication to creating a safe working environment.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose and discuss EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as earnings (net income or loss) before interest and other debt costs, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA excludes impairment charges and merger and integration related costs. Our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash provided (used) in operating activities, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ability to service debt, pay taxes and fund drydocking and survey costs and capital expenditures. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also financial metrics used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) to compare to the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iii) to assess our ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness.

Free cash flow	$	19,226			8,982			29,777			29,126			(15,196	)

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP investment performance indicator which we believe provides useful information regarding the net cash generated by the Company before any payments to capital providers. Free cash flow is determined from net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures, excluding expansion capital, proceeds from asset sales, cash interest expense and interest income. Free cash flow is not defined by U.S. GAAP and is not a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities.

Note (A): Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is affected by changes in our assets and liabilities and the amounts we pay in cash for our drydocks and vessel surveys as illustrated in the following table:
