Well Intervention Well Intervention revenues in the first quarter 2020 decreased $1.1 million, or 1%, from the previous quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower vessel utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea and the fourth quarter contractual adjustment in Brazil, offset in part by the commencement of the Q7000, our newbuild semisubmersible well intervention vessel, in West Africa. During the first quarter 2020, we completed scheduled regulatory certification inspections for the Q4000 and the Q5000 in the Gulf of Mexico, performed upgrades to the Siem Helix 2 in Brazil and completed other shipyard maintenance and regulatory inspections on the Well Enhancer and the Seawell during the North Sea’s typical seasonal slowdown. The Q7000 commenced operations in West Africa in January 2020 and was on contract through the remainder of the quarter, contributing both incremental revenue and incremental costs in the segment. Overall Well Intervention vessel utilization decreased to 72% in the first quarter 2020 from 92% in the fourth quarter 2019. Well Intervention income from operations decreased $21.3 million in the first quarter 2020 from the fourth quarter 2019 due to decreased revenues in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Brazil. Well Intervention revenues increased $18.4 million, or 15%, in the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by the commencement of operations on the Q7000 in January 2020, offset in part by lower vessel utilization in the Gulf of Mexico. Well Intervention vessel utilization decreased to 72% in the first quarter 2020 from 74% in the first quarter 2019. Income from operations decreased $15.3 million, or 159%, in the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019, primarily related to decreased revenues in the Gulf of Mexico. |
Robotics Robotics revenues were flat in the first quarter 2020 compared to the previous quarter. Reductions in Robotics trenching and ROV utilization in the first quarter were offset by higher revenues from increased spot vessel activity quarter over quarter. ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization decreased to 34% in the first quarter 2020 from 41% in the previous quarter, and vessel trenching days in the first quarter 2020 decreased to 42 days compared to 64 days in the previous quarter. The fourth quarter 2019 also included 59 trenching days on third-party vessels. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 89% in the first quarter 2020, which included 272 spot vessel days, from 73% in the fourth quarter 2019, which included 55 spot vessel days. Available long-term chartered vessel days also decreased by 49 days quarter over quarter with the termination of the Grand Canyon charter in November 2019. Robotics income from operations decreased $2.2 million in the first quarter 2020 compared to the fourth quarter 2019 due to decreased ROV and trenching activities during the quarter. Robotics revenues decreased $3.8 million, or 10%, in the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019. The decrease in revenues year over year was primarily due to a decrease in trenching activity and ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization, offset in part by more spot vessel days in the first quarter 2020. ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization was 34% in the first quarter 2020 compared to 39% in the first quarter 2019, and 42 vessel trenching days in the first quarter 2020 was down from 133 vessel trenching days in the first quarter 2019. While overall chartered vessel utilization was flat year over year, the first quarter 2020 included 272 spot vessel days compared to 84 spot vessel days in the first quarter 2019, which was offset in part by 90 fewer available long-term chartered vessel days with the termination of the Grand Canyon charter. Robotics results from operations improved $1.1 million in the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019 due to lower costs related to the termination of the Grand Canyon charter in November 2019 and the expiration of the hedge of the Grand Canyon II charter payments in July 2019, offset in part by lower revenues. |
Production Facilities Production Facilities revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 6%, quarter over quarter due to lower revenues from the Helix Fast Response System, offset in part by higher production revenues in the first quarter 2020. The fourth quarter 2019 benefitted from approximately $2.0 million of residual revenue from our previous Helix Fast Response System contract that expired in 2019. |
Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.3 million, or 9.0% of revenue, in the first quarter 2020 compared to $20.9 million, or 12.3% of revenue, in the fourth quarter 2019. The decrease in expenses was primarily related to a decrease in employee compensation costs in the first quarter. |
Other Income and Expenses Other expense, net was $10.4 million in the first quarter 2020 compared to other income, net of $3.6 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The change was primarily due to net unrealized foreign currency translation losses on foreign currency liabilities related to a weaker British pound in the first quarter, compared to net unrealized foreign currency gains in the prior quarter. |
Interest Expense Net interest expense increased to $5.7 million in the first quarter 2020 from $2.1 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The increase was primarily associated with lower capitalized interest on our capital projects. |
Income Tax Provision (Benefit) The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) became effective on March 27, 2020 and includes various changes to U.S. income tax regulations. As a result of these tax law changes, Helix recognized an estimated $5.8 million net tax benefit in the first quarter 2020. This amount consists of a $15.9 million current tax benefit and a $10.1 million deferred tax expense. This $5.8 million net tax benefit resulted from Helix’s deferred tax assets related to its net operating losses in the U.S. being utilized at the previous higher income tax rate applicable to the carryback periods. |
Cash Flows Operating cash flows were $(17.2) million in the first quarter 2020 compared to $79.8 million in the fourth quarter 2019 and $(34.2) million in the first quarter 2019. The decrease in operating cash flows quarter over quarter was due to lower earnings as well as higher regulatory certification costs for our vessels and negative working capital changes during the first quarter 2020. The improvement in operating cash flows year over year was due to positive working capital changes, offset in part by lower earnings in the first quarter 2020. Capital expenditures totaled $12.4 million in the first quarter 2020 compared to $95.2 million in the fourth quarter 2019 and $11.7 million in the first quarter 2019. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter 2019 included the $69.2 million final installment payment to the shipyard and other capital spending for the Q7000, which was delivered to Helix during the fourth quarter 2019. Regulatory certification costs for our vessels and systems, which are included in operating cash flows, were $17.8 million in the first quarter 2020 compared to $2.1 million in the fourth quarter 2019 and $16.6 million in the first quarter 2019. Regulatory certification costs during the first quarter 2020 included dry dock costs on the Q4000, the Q5000 and the Seawell and certification costs for several intervention systems. Free cash flow was $(29.6) million in the first quarter 2020 compared to $(15.4) million in the fourth quarter 2019 and $(45.9) million in the first quarter 2019. The decrease quarter over quarter was due to lower operating cash flows, offset in part by lower capital expenditures with the completion of the Q7000. (Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation below.) |
Financial Condition and Liquidity Cash and cash equivalents were $159.4 million at March 31, 2020 and excluded $52.4 million of restricted cash pledged as collateral on a short-term project-related letter of credit. Available capacity under our revolving credit facility was $172.6 million at March 31, 2020. Consolidated long-term debt decreased to $394.4 million at March 31, 2020 from $405.9 million at December 31, 2019. Consolidated net debt at March 31, 2020 was $182.7 million. Net debt to book capitalization at March 31, 2020 was 10%. The restricted cash of $52.4 million is included in our net debt calculation as the restrictions are of a short-term project-related nature. (Net debt and net debt to book capitalization are non-GAAP measures. See reconciliations below.) |
