Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix, stated, “A few months ago we laid our budget assumptions for 2008. I am pleased to report first quarter was a strong operating quarter for us. Services performed better than our budget assumptions and production rates as well as commodity prices exceeded our budget assumptions. We also executed the first of the budgeted production sales in this quarter with others progressing as planned. ”

 

 


 

Financial Highlights
   
Revenues: The $54.7 million increase in year-over-year first quarter revenues was driven by increases in revenue from both Oil and Gas production and Contracting Services due primarily to continued market demand in the deepwater and an increase in year-over-year commodity prices.
 
   
Margins: Margins of 27% for the first quarter 2008 were 7 points lower than 34% in the first quarter of 2007 as Cal Dive experienced a seasonal margin decline, the Q4000 was out of service for upgrades, and we experienced a $14 million impairment at our Devil’s Island field.
 
   
Sale of Oil and Gas Interests: The Company sold 30% working interests in its Danny Noonan discoveries in two separate transactions for total cash consideration of approximately $165 million, an obligation of the purchaser to pay their 30% share of all related future capital expenditures and an obligation to pay up to an additional $20 million based on reaching production milestones. The first transaction for 20% closed March 31, 2008 and resulted in a gain of $61.1 million in the first quarter. The second transaction for 10% closed on April 23, 2008.
 
   
SG&A: $47.8 million increased $17.2 million over the same period a year ago due primarily to increased overhead to support our growth (particularly Cal Dive) and severance relating to the resignation of our former CEO. Excluding the severance, this level of SG&A was 9% of first quarter revenues, compared to 8% in the year ago quarter.
 
   
Equity in Earnings: $10.9 million is comprised of our share of earnings for the quarter relating to the Marco Polo facility and the Independence Hub facility.
 
   
Income Tax Provision: The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was 36.6%, compared to the 34% effective rate for last year’s first quarter due primarily to provision of deferred taxes relating to Cal Dive’s earnings.
 
   
Balance Sheet: Total consolidated net debt as of March 31, 2008 was $1.7 billion. This includes $335 million outstanding under Cal Dive’s term loan that was used to fund the cash portion of its acquisition of Horizon Offshore, which loan is non-recourse to Helix. Total consolidated net debt as of March 31, 2008 represents 46% net debt to book capitalization.

We calculate adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exploration expense. Further, we reduce adjusted EBITDAX for the minority interest in Cal Dive that we do not own. Adjusted EBITDAX margin is defined as adjusted EBITDAX divided by net revenues. These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they are widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to company and help investors meaningfully compare our results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead is 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 which are excluded.

All such statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, any projections of revenue, gross margin, expenses, earnings or losses from operations, or other financial items; future production volumes, results of exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition and operations expenditures, and prospective reserve levels of property or wells; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning developments, performance or industry rankings; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Although we believe that the expectations set forth in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and assumptions referred to above include the performance of contracts by suppliers, customers and partners; employee management issues; complexities of global political and economic developments; geologic risks and other risks described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this presentation and the associated press release. We assume no obligation or duty and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as required by the securities laws. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Statements of proved reserves are only estimates and may be imprecise. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include not only proved reserves but also other categories of reserves that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit the Company from including in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company's 2007 Form 10-K. Forward-Looking Statements

STRATEGY


 

2008 Objectives Sell down interests in Oil & Gas properties capturing value while mitigating risk, reducing intercompany profit deferral and funding capital program. Complete new services assets and deepwater developments. Outperform guidance. Sold 30% of Danny Noonan. Additional properties being marketed. Q4000 marine upgrades and drilling capability completed. Caesar pipelay vessel conversion progressing. Expected to be delayed to Q4 and over budget, but still at a competitive cost basis. Helix Producer I (HPI) production vessel progressing. Expected to be delayed and over budget, but still cost effective. Added 3 new ROVs. Noonan development on or possibly ahead of budget and schedule. Phoenix development delayed due to HPI delay. Outperformed budget for Q1. Too early in year to adjust guidance. Objectives Update Q1 Update

Contracting Services Commentary (1) Deepwater Construction The Intrepid and the Express had nearly full utilization and contributed $20.1 MM of gross profit. Margins were lower due to the large increased amount of sub-contractor work and use of chartered vessel. The MSV Express and DSV Eclipse working offshore India on the Reliance KGD6 project. Robotics (Canyon Offshore) Canyon had another strong quarter with gross profit of nearly $16.6 MM. Canyon had five active vessels under contract during the quarter working in the North Sea, West Africa, Brazil, GOM, Malaysia and Australia Canyon was awarded a new contract from a minerals mining company for the use of Canyon's ROV drill units Shelf Contracting (Cal Dive) Utilization and margins down due to more traditional seasonality. See separate earnings release and conference call for this majority owned subsidiary. Subsea manifold being installed by Express


 

Well Operations The Seawell did not have any work in the month of January. She worked on Well Intervention projects in February and March and has work contracted for the majority of 2008. The Q4000 spent the entire quarter in the shipyard for scheduled marine and drilling upgrades. The vessel has a busy schedule with tophole drilling, completion and deepwater well intervention work for the rest of the year. Well Ops SEA well intervention equipment mobilized on Havila Harmony on Woodside project offshore Australia Reservoir / Well Technology Services Compared with the fourth quarter of 2007, Helix RDS business showed a welcome increase in contribution. We see increased demand for these highly specialized services. Production Facilities Recorded a record equity in earnings of $10.9 MM for the quarter due to strong contribution from our 20% interest in Independence Hub LLC.
