Title: | Chief Financial Officer |
| Non-cash charges of $907.6 million ($840.2 million net of tax, or $9.25 per diluted
share), including $715.0 million, or $7.87 per diluted share, associated with a reduction
in the carrying value of goodwill and $192.6 million ($125.2 million net of tax, or $1.38
per diluted share), related to reductions in the carrying values of certain oil and gas
properties. The majority of the goodwill reduction related to the oil and gas business
associated with the acquisition of Remington Oil and Gas Corporation in 2006. The oil and
gas property impairments reflected a deterioration of the affected properties field
economics primarily resulting from a decrease in both oil and natural gas prices during the
fourth quarter. |
||
| Other non-cash exploration charges of $26.6 million ($17.3 million net of tax, or $0.19
per diluted share) primarily related to two suspended exploratory wells drilled in prior
years that are no longer considered economical to develop. |
||
| A $6.7 million loss ($4.4 million net of tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) associated
with the sale of our interest in the Bass Lite field located in Atwater Valley Block 426 in
December 2008. Gross proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $49 million. |
| Non-cash gain of $151.7 million ($98.6 million net of tax, or $1.02 per diluted share)
resulting from an adjustment in our investment in Cal Dive following the Horizon
acquisition. |
||
| Non-cash oil and gas impairments/exploration expenses totaling $84.2 million ($54.8
million net of tax, or $0.57 per diluted share). |

| Deepwater construction revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 benefited from
exceptionally high utilization of pipelay assets (86%) and higher day rates. In addition,
our robotics business also experienced high asset utilization (80%). Our deepwater
construction assets have good backlog for the first half of 2009. Our robotics division
benefitted from the increased scope of work resulting from the effects of Hurricanes Gustav
and Ike. |
||
| Our well operations business experienced decreased revenues in the fourth quarter as
compared to the third quarter of 2008 reflecting the commencement of certain project work
in the Gulf of Mexico that has slightly lower contract prices and margins than our typical
contracts performed in 2008 as well as slightly lower utilization rates (93% vs. 100%). |
||
| Gross profit margins for Contracting Services decreased primarily because of lower
margins associated with certain longer-term and large scale projects. |
||
| Our services segments have estimated backlog of nearly $900 million (including $350
million for Cal Dive), of which we expect to recognize around $660 million in 2009. |
| Cal Dive revenues, gross profit and net income decreased in the fourth quarter of 2008
compared with third quarter of 2008 reflecting normal seasonal decline in activity offset
in part by additional services associated with hurricane inspection, repair and maintenance
activities in the Gulf of Mexico following Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The results for the
fourth quarter 2008 were significantly higher than the results achieved during the fourth
quarter of 2007 primarily reflecting the contributions from the Horizon assets which were
acquired in December, 2007, as well as additional service activity following Hurricanes
Gustav and Ike. |
| Oil and Gas revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were lower than the third quarter
of 2008 primarily reflecting significantly lower production following Hurricanes Gustav and
Ike as well as declines in both oil and natural gas prices. Production in fourth quarter
of 2008 was 6.4 Bcfe compared with 10.5 Bcfe in third quarter 2008. The average prices
realized for our gas sales volumes, including the effect of hedge contracts, totaled $6.32
per thousand cubic feet of gas (Mcf) in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $10.22 per Mcf in
the third quarter of 2008. For our oil sales volumes we realized $49.08 per barrel in the
fourth quarter of 2008 and $107.14 per barrel in the third quarter of 2008, including the
effects of hedge contracts. As a result of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, certain oil and gas
contracts no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment and an $11.5 million gain from
the settlements of these contracts was recorded in other income in our consolidated
statements of operations. In addition, our other income includes unrealized gains of $7.4
million associated with contracts that will settle in first quarter 2009. |
||
| The Companys current production has been restored to levels approximating those
achieved pre-Hurricane Ike. As of February 24, 2009 our oil and gas production totaled
approximately 132 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfe/d), which is
more than 90% of pre-Hurricane Ike production rates, adjusting for the sale of our interest
in the Bass Lite field |
||
| The Company has previously announced a discovery at Garden Banks Block 426 (Bushwood)
field in the deepwater of Gulf of Mexico. The well logged 273 feet of net hydrocarbons in
deeper exploratory zones and the proved reserves associated with this discovery are
included in the Companys year-end 2008 estimates of proved reserves. |
||
| Year-end 2008 proved reserves of oil and gas totaled 665 Bcfe as compared with 677 Bcfe
at December 31, 2007. Reserve additions of 176 Bcfe from discoveries and field extensions
resulting from 2008 drilling activities offset the approximate 140 Bcfe reduction of
estimated proved reserves resulting from price declines, property sales and hurricane
damage. In 2008, our reserve additions replaced 371% of our 2008 production (47.5 Bcfe).
The average prices used in our proved reserve estimates were $42.76 per barrel of oil and
$5.74 per Mcf of natural gas in 2008 as compared to $103.34 per barrel and $7.84 per Mcf in
2007. The present value of our total estimated proved reserves using the SEC mandated
PV-10 standardized measure was approximately $1.9 billion at December 31, 2008 compared
with $2.8 billion at December 31, 2007. |
| Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 were 7.8%
of revenue, compared to 8.2% in the third quarter of 2008, and 9.0% in the fourth quarter
of 2007. The improvement over the third quarter was a result of reduced spending measures
initiated in light of the weaker economic environment. |
||
| Net interest expense and other decreased to $13.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008
from $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2008 due primarily to net hedging gains of $15.3
million and $4.6 million of lower foreign exchange losses during the fourth quarter of
2008. Net interest expense increased to $22.3 million in the fourth quarter compared with
$19.8 million in third quarter 2008 due primarily to higher levels of gross debt. |
| Consolidated net debt at December 31, 2008 decreased to $1.84 billion from $1.87
billion as of September 30, 2008. Total debt associated with our Cal Dive consolidated
subsidiary totaled $315 million, which is non-recourse to Helix. Net debt to book
capitalization as of December 31, 2008 was 60%. (Net debt to book capitalization is a
non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation attached hereto.) |
||
| Capital expenditures for 2008 (including $83 million related to Cal Dive) totaled $855 million. |
||
| The Company has taken the following actions to improve its financial condition and liquidity: |
| Hedged a substantial level (approximately 73%) of estimated 2009 oil and gas
production in order to stabilize the Companys expected 2009 cash flow from its oil and
gas operations. |
||
| The Companys planned 2009 capital budget has been reduced considerably from 2008
levels and is estimated to be $350 million to $400 million (of which $78 million
relates to Cal Dive). |
||
| In January 2009, the Company sold approximately 13.6 million shares of Cal Dive
common stock to Cal Dive for proceeds totaling $86 million. |
||
| Implemented certain cost control measures and other spending controls. |

Fourth Quarter 2008 Earnings Conference Call February 25, 2009 |
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
