Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix,
stated, “As previously disclosed, 2022 will be a transition year
for Helix and has started out as we expected, with several vessels
undergoing regulatory inspections, a slow return for the North Sea
market and several vessels performing short-term work at reduced
rates. However, we feel the long-term fundamentals remain strong
for Helix, and our improved outlook for the second half of 2022 and
into 2023 is beginning to take shape. We have contracted several
long-term awards, including at least two years with Trident in
Brazil, a multi-year award with Shell in the U.S. as well as other
projects scheduled for 2023. We are managing the improving market
with extensions of our charters on the Siem Helix vessels, and we
added two robotics support vessels under term charters to secure
the resources required for our North Sea trenching and U.S.
robotics operations.”

Segment Results
Well Intervention
Well Intervention revenues decreased $12.8 million, or 11%, in
the first quarter 2022 compared to the prior quarter. The decrease
was primarily due to lower revenues in Brazil and West Africa.
Revenues in Brazil declined due to lower utilization and rates on
the Siem Helix 2, which had 23 days off contract during its
five-year regulatory inspections and operated at lower rates under
its extended contract during the first quarter 2022. Revenues in
West Africa declined due to lower rates compared to the prior
quarter. Overall Well Intervention vessel utilization increased to
67% during the first quarter 2022 compared to 56% in the prior
quarter, primarily due to the deployment of the Siem Helix 1 on a
low revenue accommodations project throughout the first quarter
2022 after having been idle during the prior quarter. Well
Intervention net loss from operations increased $10.7 million
during the first quarter 2022 compared to the prior quarter
primarily due to lower revenues.
Well Intervention revenues decreased $27.4 million, or 20%, in
the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021. The
decrease was primarily due to lower rates and utilization in
Brazil, offset in part by higher utilization in West Africa during
the first quarter 2022. Our Brazil operations during the first
quarter 2021 were on legacy contract rates with Petrobras with full
utilization, whereas during the first quarter 2022 the Siem Helix 2
operated at lower rates under its extended contract with Petrobras
and incurred 23 days off contract during its five-year regulatory
inspection, and the Siem Helix 1 was operating on an accommodations
project throughout the first quarter 2022 at lower rates. The Q7000
was fully utilized during the first quarter 2022 compared to only
67% utilized during the first quarter 2021. Gulf of Mexico revenues
were nominally changed from the prior year, with higher-margin work
on the Q5000’s legacy BP contract during the first quarter 2021
replaced by higher cost integrated projects during the first
quarter 2022. Overall Well Intervention vessel utilization
decreased to 67% during the first quarter 2022 compared to 70%
during the first quarter 2021. Well Intervention incurred a net
loss from operations of $31.8 million in the first quarter 2022
compared to operating income of $5.2 million in the first quarter
2021 due to lower revenues as well as lower margins in the Gulf of
Mexico due to higher integrated project costs during the first
quarter 2022.
Robotics
Robotics revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 9%, in the first
quarter 2022 compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in
revenues was due to seasonally lower vessel, ROV and trencher
activities during the first quarter 2022. Chartered vessel days
decreased to 323 days during the first quarter 2022 compared to 419
total vessel days during the prior quarter, and vessel utilization
decreased to 90% in the first quarter 2022 compared to 99% during
the prior quarter. Vessel days during the first quarter 2022
included 136 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work in
the North Sea, compared to 237 spot vessel days, including 197 spot
vessel days performing seabed clearance work in the North Sea and
40 spot vessel days completing the ROV support work for a telecom
project offshore Guyana, during the prior quarter. ROV and trencher
utilization decreased to 35% in the first quarter 2022 from 38% in
the prior quarter, and trenching days decreased to 66 days during
the first quarter 2022 compared to 90 days during the prior
quarter. Robotics operating income decreased $2.0 million during
the first quarter 2022 compared to the prior quarter due to lower
revenues.
Robotics revenues increased $15.2 million, or 69%, during the
first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021. The increase
in revenues was due primarily to higher vessel and ROV activities
year over year. Chartered vessel days increased to 323 total vessel
days during the first quarter 2022 compared to 165 total vessel
days during the first quarter 2021, although vessel utilization was
flat at 90% in both the first quarters 2022 and 2021. Vessel days
during the first quarter 2022 included 136 spot vessel days
performing seabed clearance work in the North Sea, compared to
three spot vessel days during the first quarter 2021. ROV and
trencher utilization increased to 35% in the first quarter 2022
from 24% in the first quarter 2021, although trenching days
decreased to 66 days during the first quarter 2022 compared to 72
days during the first quarter 2021. Robotics generated operating
income of $1.5 million during the first quarter 2022 compared to
operating losses of $2.9 million during the first quarter 2021, an
improvement of $4.4 million, due to higher revenues year over
year.
Production Facilities
Production Facilities revenues decreased $1.8 million, or 9%, in
the first quarter 2022 compared to the prior quarter primarily due
to a decline in oil and gas production volumes. Production
Facilities revenues increased $1.8 million, or 11%, compared to the
first quarter 2021 primarily due to higher oil and gas prices.
Selling, General and Administrative and
Other
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.4 million,
or 9.6% of revenue, in the first quarter 2022 compared to $21.5
million, or 12.7% of revenue, in the prior quarter. The decrease
was primarily due to lower employee incentive compensation
costs.
Other Income and Expenses
Other expense, net was $3.9 million in the first quarter 2022
compared to $0.1 million in the fourth quarter 2021. Other expense,
net in the first quarter 2022 included unrealized foreign currency
losses related to the British pound, which weakened approximately
3% during the first quarter 2022.
Cash Flows
Operating cash flows were $(17.4) million during the first
quarter 2022 compared to $18.9 million during the prior quarter and
$39.9 million during the first quarter 2021. The decrease in
operating cash flows quarter over quarter and year over year was
primarily due to lower earnings, higher regulatory recertification
costs for our vessels and systems and negative changes in net
working capital during the first quarter 2022. Regulatory
recertification costs for our vessels and systems, which are
included in operating cash flows, were $10.3 million during the
first quarter 2022 compared to $2.5 million during the prior
quarter and $1.8 million during the first quarter 2021.
Capital expenditures totaled $0.6 million during the first
quarter 2022 compared to $0.9 million during the prior quarter and
$1.3 million during the first quarter 2021.
Free Cash Flow was $(18.0) million in the first quarter 2022
compared to $17.9 million during the prior quarter and $38.5
million during the first quarter 2021. The decrease in Free Cash
Flow quarter over quarter and year over year was due primarily to
lower operating cash flows. (Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure.
See reconciliation below.)
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $229.7 million at March 31, 2022,
and excluded $72.9 million of restricted cash, which primarily
relates to cash pledged as collateral on a short-term
project-related letter of credit. Available capacity under our ABL
facility was $41.2 million at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022 we
had $301.6 million of long-term debt and negative net debt of $1.1
million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management evaluates performance and financial condition using
certain non-GAAP measures, 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
impairment losses on goodwill and other long-lived assets and gains
and losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable.
To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the gain or
loss on disposition of assets and the general provision (release)
for current expected credit losses, if any. In addition, we include
realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not
designated as hedging instruments, which are excluded from EBITDA
as a component of net other income or expense. Net debt is
calculated as long-term debt including current maturities of
long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
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, Adjusted 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 and 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow provide
useful information to the public regarding our operating
performance and ability to service debt and fund capital
expenditures and may help our investors understand 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, cash flows from operating
activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should
consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded
from these measures. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial
information presented in this press release to the most directly
comparable financial information presented in accordance with
GAAP.
