Business Segment Results
-
Well Intervention revenues in the second quarter of 2018 increased
$32.2 million , or 25%, from the previous quarter due to higher utilization and rates in theNorth Sea , offset in part by lower utilization of our vessels in the Gulf ofMexico and our 10KIRS rental unit. Overall vessel utilization increased to 88% in the second quarter of 2018 from 73% in the first quarter of 2018.
In theNorth Sea , vessel utilization increased to 95% in the second quarter of 2018 from 31% in the previous quarter due to the seasonal pick-up in activity. Specifically, the Well Enhancer utilization increased to 94% from 34% and the Seawell utilization increased to 97% from 28%.
Vessel utilization in the Gulf ofMexico decreased to 74% in the second quarter of 2018 from 93% in the first quarter of 2018. Q5000 utilization was 71% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 87% in the first quarter due to an approximate 14 day regulatory underwater inspection as well as some unscheduled downtime during the second quarter. Q4000 utilization in the second quarter of 2018 decreased to 76% from 100% in the first quarter due to idle time between projects in the second quarter. The 15KIRS rental unit utilization remained at 86%. The 10KIRS rental unit was 46% utilized during the quarter compared to full utilization in the first quarter of 2018.
The Siem Helix 1 utilization decreased to 92% in the second quarter of 2018 from 99% in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of scheduled shipyard maintenance during the second quarter. The Siem Helix 2 utilization improved to 99% in the second quarter of 2018 from 88% in the first quarter.
Well Intervention revenues increased 43% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. While vessel utilization was similar year over year, total available vessel days increased by 105 days in the second quarter of 2018 with the introduction of the Siem Helix vessels in 2017. Additionally, the second quarter of 2018 included 120 days ofIRS rental unit utilization, whereas the second quarter of 2017 had zero days of utilization.
-
Robotics revenues in the second quarter of 2018 increased
$11.9 million , or 44%, from the previous quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the seasonal pick-up in activity and increased trenching in theNorth Sea , offset in part by lower utilization of the Grand Canyon II. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 70%, which includes 54 spot vessel days, in the second quarter of 2018 from 56%, which includes 42 spot vessel days, in the first quarter of 2018. ROV asset utilization increased to 38%, which includes 146 trenching days, in the second quarter of 2018 from 30%, which includes 44 trenching days, in the first quarter of 2018.
Robotics revenue increased 18% in the second quarter of 2018 from the second quarter of 2017. Vessel utilization increased to 70% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 57% in the second quarter of 2017. ROV asset utilization decreased to 38% in the second quarter of 2018 from 42% in the second quarter of 2017; however, the second quarter of 2018 included 95 additional trenching days compared to the same quarter in 2017.
Other Expenses
-
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$18.1 million , or 8.9% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2018 compared to$14.1 million , or 8.6% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with our employee share-based compensation awards linked to our stock price. -
Other expense was
$3.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to other income of$0.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. The change was primarily driven by foreign currency losses in the second quarter of 2018, offset in part by a write-down of a note receivable in the previous quarter.

-
Cash and cash equivalents at
June 30, 2018 were approximately$288 million . Consolidated long-term debt decreased to$459 million atJune 30, 2018 from$467 million atMarch 31, 2018 . Consolidated net debt atJune 30, 2018 was$171 million . Net debt to book capitalization atJune 30, 2018 was 10%. (Net debt and net debt to book capitalization are non-GAAP measures.

Capital additions (including capitalized interest and dry dock costs)
totaled
$18 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to$17 million in the first quarter of 2018 and$47 million in the second quarter of 2017. -
Operating cash flow increased to
$47 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to$41 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in operating income offset in part by changes in working capital. Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2018 increased by$60 million year over year due primarily to higher net income. Free cash flow was$26 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to$20 million in the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher operating cash flows. Free cash flow increased$76 million year over year due to higher operating cash flows in the second quarter of 2018 and reduced capital expenditures associated with the completion of the Siem Helix 1 and Siem Helix 2 vessels during 2017. (Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation below.)

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management evaluates Company performance and financial condition using certain non-GAAP metrics, primarily EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt to book capitalization and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, gain or loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, net other income or expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-cash losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable. To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gain or loss on disposition of assets. In addition, we include realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments and other than temporary loss on note receivable, which are excluded from EBITDA as a component of net other income or expense. Net debt is calculated as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to book capitalization is calculated by dividing net debt by the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets.
We use EBITDA and free cash flow to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, to analyze and evaluate financial strategic planning decisions regarding future investments and acquisitions, to plan and evaluate operating budgets, and in certain cases, to report our results to the holders of our debt as required by our debt covenants. We believe that our measures of EBITDA and free cash flow provide useful information to the public regarding our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand our operating performance and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow differently from the way we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead are supplemental to, income from operations, net income or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures.
