(Nasdaq: CDIS) reported a fourth quarter loss of $790,000 or 2 cents per diluted share. Excluding approximately $10 million of pre-tax reserves established for litigation and a contract dispute (see February 7 Press Release), earnings would have equaled the 16 cents per share reported in the same quarter a year ago. Fourth quarter revenues of $92.5 million increased by 35% as a result of improved oil and gas production, higher commodity prices, and new Deepwater assets added during the year.
Twelve month revenues of $302.7 million increased by almost $76 million or 33% due to the acquisition of Canyon Offshore and Well Ops (UK), plus the addition of three vessels to the DP fleet. Earnings of $12.4 million compare to $28.9 million in 2001. Diluted earnings per share of 35 cents for the year 2002 compare to 88 cents in the prior twelve month period.
Owen Kratz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cal Dive, stated, "The unique Cal Dive business model resulted in our contracting and oil and gas assets each contributing 50% of the gross profit generated during 2002. This balanced strategy enabled CDI to deliver net income that was 4% of revenues in a year when virtually all of our peer group are reporting significant losses on Gulf of Mexico construction activity."
Mr. Kratz continued, "2003 will mark the conclusion of a $750 million expansion program initiated several years ago. In the current conditions of high commodity pricing yet continued slow contracting demand, our business model will demonstrate the earnings power now inherent in the company in 2003 and 2004. Given the contracting markets, economy and world situation, we are happy with Cal Dive's position."

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