Cal Dive International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDIS) reported first quarter net income of $6.0 million or $0.16 per diluted share. Adoption of SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, added $530,000 or one cent to first quarter 2003 results. A year ago net income was $3.0 million or $0.09 per diluted share. First quarter revenues of $88.9 million increased 65% over the year ago quarter as the company is completing a $750 million, three-year capital expansion plan.
Owen Kratz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cal Dive, stated, "The countercyclical hedge provided by our strategic integration of subsea contracting and oil & gas operations was particularly evident in first quarter results. Earnings associated with last year's mature property acquisitions carried the current quarter in contrast to a year ago when CDI contracting operations provided 60% of our profitability. Our Deepwater initiatives at Gunnison and Marco Polo remain on a schedule to come on line early next year. The visibility and stability provided by our oil and gas business provided the funding to expand our contracting revenues by 120% in just the last three years."
Mr. Kratz continued, "Offshore construction is a cyclical business. The Cal Dive management team picked its way through the industry downturns in 1987, 1992 and 2000. In contrast to those earlier periods, today we have strong commodity prices and a diversified asset base designed to weather the downdrafts. We are satisfied with our position in the market and look forward to reaping the harvest of our aggressive capital program."

CDI operates a fleet of technically advanced marine construction vessels and robotics worldwide and conducts salvage operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
