Cal Dive International, Inc. (NYSE: DVR) generated a loss for
the fourth quarter 2013 of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share, including a $0.6 million after-tax non-cash fixed asset
impairment charge. This compares to a loss in the prior year fourth
quarter of $19.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, including a
$4.0 million after-tax non-cash charge related to the
marked-to-market adjustment of the derivative liability for the
Company’s convertible debt and a $4.1 million after-tax non-cash
fixed asset impairment charge. For the fourth quarter 2013, the
Company reported revenues of $159.8 million and EBITDA of $17.1
million compared to revenues of $146.4 million and EBITDA of $13.5
million for the fourth quarter 2012. The increase in EBITDA is
primarily due to increased Mexico activity partially offset by no
activity in West Africa due to the redeployment of the DSV Texas to
Mexico and lower utilization domestically due to harsher winter
weather conditions compared to fourth quarter 2012.
The Company reported a full year 2013 loss of $36.6 million, or
$0.39 per diluted share, compared to a full year 2012 loss of $65.0
million, or $0.70 per diluted share. Included in these losses are
non-cash after-tax impairment charges of $13.7 million during 2013
and $19.7 million during 2012. The Company reported full year 2013
EBITDA of $34.2 million compared to $23.3 million for full year
2012.
Commenting on the results, Cal Dive’s Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer, Quinn Hébert, stated, “As expected the
fourth quarter was our best quarter of the year due to the ramp up
in offshore work in Mexico. This increase was partially offset by
harsh winter weather conditions throughout the Gulf of Mexico and
lower domestic activity in part due to the re-positioning of
certain assets to Mexico.
“In Mexico, we operated six assets for the Pemex projects during
the fourth quarter and have completed approximately 60% of our
awarded $290 million in Pemex contracts as of the end of 2013.
Currently, we are operating five assets in the region as we
completed the pipelay portion of three of the larger projects in
January. One of the projects, our fourth award in August 2013 for
$40 million, has been delayed by Pemex until the summer of 2014 due
to the platform not being ready. The impact of this is expected to
be a shift of revenue and profit from the fourth quarter 2013 and
first quarter 2014 to the third quarter of 2014. We expect bidding
activity for Pemex work to continue to be strong in the coming
months.”
Mr. Hébert continued, “Looking forward, we expect improved
financial performance over the next two quarters compared to the
first half last year primarily driven by the activity related to
our Pemex contracts as we had little activity in Mexico during this
time last year. We will continue to focus on international growth
as we continue to bid on more projects in Mexico in 2014.”
Financial Highlights
- Backlog: Contracted backlog was $249
million as of December 31, 2013. This compares to backlog of $172
million at December 31, 2012. Of the backlog as of December 31,
2013, $222 million relates to international work and the remainder
relates to work in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, with 93% of the total
backlog expected to be performed during 2014.
- Revenues: Fourth quarter 2013 revenues
increased by $13.4 million, or 9.2%, to $159.8 million compared to
the fourth quarter 2012. The increase in revenues is attributable
to increased work in Mexico, offset primarily by a decrease in
domestic revenues, in part due to some of the assets working in
Mexico being re-positioned from other locations. International
revenues accounted for 74% and domestic revenues accounted for 26%
of total consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter 2013,
compared to 66% international and 34% domestic for the fourth
quarter 2012.
- Gross Profit: Fourth quarter 2013 gross
profit was $10.5 million, an improvement of $0.4 million, compared
to the fourth quarter 2012. The improvement from prior year is
attributable to better margins on work in Mexico offset by
significantly lower margins domestically due to lower utilization
caused by harsher winter weather conditions compared to fourth
quarter 2012.
- G&A: Fourth quarter 2013 G&A
decreased by $2.1 million to $10.9 million compared to the fourth
quarter 2012 primarily due to cost savings measures implemented by
the Company. As a percentage of revenues, G&A was 6.8% for the
fourth quarter 2013 compared to 8.9% for the fourth quarter
2012.
- Interest Expense: Fourth quarter 2013
net interest expense increased by $1.7 million to $6.3 million
compared to the fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to higher
outstanding balances on the Company’s revolving credit facility
during the quarter and additional interest on the Company’s $20.0
million unsecured debt used to fund the up-front procurement of
pipe and other project materials required under the Company’s four
contracts in Mexico.
- Income Tax: The effective tax benefit
rate for the fourth quarter 2013 was 90.2% compared to a tax
benefit rate of 4.1% for the fourth quarter 2012. The difference in
the effective tax rate from the statutory rate is due to the mix of
pre-tax profit and loss between U.S. and international taxing
jurisdictions with varying statutory rates. In addition, the low
benefit rate for fourth quarter 2012 was due to a $5.2 million
non-cash income tax valuation allowance on foreign tax credits and
foreign losses and a $1.4 million discrete period tax
adjustment.
- Balance Sheet: As of December 31, 2013,
total debt consisted of $86.25 million in convertible notes, $30.7
million under a senior secured term loan, $75.3 million outstanding
under a revolving credit facility and $20.0 million under an
unsecured term loan. Cash and cash equivalents were $12.2 million,
for a net debt position of $200.0 million at December 31, 2013,
compared to a net debt position of $151.8 million at December 31,
2012. The increase in net debt is primarily due to the working
capital needs for the Company’s four projects in Mexico. The
Company had $125.1 million in unbilled revenue at December 31,
2013, most of which was related to Mexico due to timing of
milestone billings. The net secured debt amount that is subject to
financial covenants was $93.8 million at December 31, 2013,
compared to $65.5 million at December 31, 2012. Total debt
presented on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 is
net of a debt discount of $18.8 million on the Company’s
convertible debt. As of December 31, 2013 the Company had $46.9
million of remaining borrowing capacity under its revolving credit
facility.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresFor the Periods Ended December 31, 2013

In addition to net income, one primary
measure that the Company uses to evaluate financial performance is
earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, or EBITDA. The Company includes other non-cash items
and adjustments in its definition of EBITDA outlined
below. The Company uses EBITDA to measure operational
strengths and the performance of its business and not to measure
liquidity. EBITDA does not reflect the periodic costs of
certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in
generating revenues, and should be considered in addition to, and
not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial
performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA
presentations may vary among companies; thus, the Company's EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies.
The Company believes EBITDA is useful as a
measurement tool because it helps investors evaluate and compare
operating performance from period to period by removing the impact
of capital structure (primarily interest charges from outstanding
debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization of
vessels) from operating results. The Company's management uses
EBITDA in communications with lenders, rating agencies and others,
concerning financial performance.
