NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”).
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR Marine” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. without its consolidated subsidiaries.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards.
On October 29, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements: Amendments that improve the consistency of the Codification by including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure section. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the disclosures included herein.
Critical Accounting Policies.
Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine and its controlled subsidiaries. Control is generally deemed to exist if the Company has greater than 50% of the voting rights of a subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the combination and consolidation.
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of equity. The Company reports consolidated net income (loss) inclusive of both the Company’s and the noncontrolling interests’ share, as well as the amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to each of the Company and the noncontrolling interests. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former controlled subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) based on such fair value. If a subsidiary is consolidated upon the business acquisition of controlling interests by the Company, any previous noncontrolled equity investment in the subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) based on such fair value.
The Company employs the equity method of accounting for investments in 50% or less owned companies that it does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the business venture. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of a business venture but may exist when the Company’s ownership percentage is less than 20%. In certain circumstances, the Company may have an economic interest in excess of 50% but may not control and consolidate the business venture. Conversely, the Company may have an economic interest less than
50% but may control and consolidate the business venture. The Company reports its investments in and advances to these business ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as investments, at equity, and advances to 50% or less owned companies. The Company reports its share of earnings from investments in 50% or less owned companies in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss) as equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax.
Certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to make them consistent with the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include those related to deferred revenues, allowance for credit loss accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, impairments, income tax provisions and certain accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from estimates and those differences may be material.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers over control of the promised goods or services to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales taxes, based on its estimates of the consideration the Company expects to receive. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
The Company earns revenue primarily from the time charter and bareboat charter of vessels to customers. Since the Company charges customers based upon daily rates of hire, vessel revenues are recognized on a daily basis throughout the contract period. Under a time charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer and is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel. Under a bareboat charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and assumes all risks of operation. In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter durations and rates are typically established in the context of master service agreements that govern the terms and conditions of the charter.
In the Company’s operating areas, contract or charters vary in length from several days to multi-year periods. Many of the Company’s contracts and charters include cancellation clauses without early termination penalties. As a result of options and frequent renewals, the stated duration of charters may not correlate with the length of time the vessel is contracted for to provide services to a particular customer.
The Company contracts with various customers to carry out management services for vessels as agents for and on behalf of ship owners. These services include crew management, technical management, commercial management, insurance arrangements, sale and purchase of vessels, provisions and bunkering. As the manager of the vessels, the Company undertakes to use its best endeavors to provide the agreed management services as agents for and on behalf of the owners in accordance with sound ship management practice and to protect and promote the interest of the owners in all matters relating to the provision of services thereunder. The Company also contracts with various customers to carry out management services regarding engineering for vessel construction and vessel conversions. The vast majority of the ship management agreements span one to three years and are typically billed on a monthly basis. The Company transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred.
8
Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria is met and is considered a contract liability and is recognized as such. Contract liabilities, which are included in deferred revenue and unearned revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
Balance at beginning of period
1,606
Revenues deferred during the period
6,075
4,288
Revenues recognized during the period
(6,943
(3,561
Balance at end of period
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $1.5 million of unearned revenue primarily related to mobilization of vessels.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less from the date purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash primarily relates to banking facility requirements.
Trade and Other Receivables. Customers are primarily major integrated national, international oil companies, large independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies and established wind farm construction companies. Customers are granted credit on a short-term basis and the related credit risks are minimal. Other receivables consist primarily of operating expenses the Company incurs in relation to vessels it manages for other entities, as well as insurance and income tax receivables, but excludes our short-term note receivable. The Company routinely reviews its receivables and makes provisions for the credit losses utilizing the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. However, those provisions are estimates and actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Trade receivables are deemed uncollectible and are removed from accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses when collection efforts have been exhausted.
Property and Equipment. Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older vessels that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated useful life of the Company’s new offshore support vessels was 20 years.
Equipment maintenance and repair costs and the costs of routine overhauls, drydockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. There was no capitalized interest recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Assets Held for Sale. As of September 30, 2023, a liftboat previously included in the United States, primarily Gulf of Mexico segment, with a carrying value of $5.6 million and a AHTS previously included in the
Africa and Europe segment, with a carrying value of $0.5 million, were classified as assets held for sale as the Company expects to sell the vessels within one year.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying values and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.3 million for one leased-in anchor handling towing supply vessel (“AHTS”) to adjust for indicative future cash flows. There were no impairments of other owned or leased-in vessels. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.4 million. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.9 million for one fast support vessel (“FSV”) classified as held for sale during the first quarter of 2022 and sold during the second quarter of 2022. In addition, in the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.2 million for one leased-in AHTS as it was not expected to return to active service during its remaining lease term. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.3 million for other equipment, classified as assets held for sale during the third quarter of 2022, which was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023. The impairment charges for the assets held for sale are included in (losses) gains on asset dispositions and impairments in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss). Estimated fair values for the Company owned vessels were established by independent appraisers based on researched market information, replacement cost information and other data.
For vessel classes and individual vessels with indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2023, the Company estimated that their future undiscounted cash flows exceeded their current carrying values. However, the Company’s estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective as utilization and rates per day worked are uncertain, especially in light of the continued volatility in commodity prices as well as the timing and cost of reactivating cold-stacked vessels. If market conditions decline, changes in the Company’s expectations on future cash flows may result in recognizing additional impairment charges related to its long-lived assets in future periods. For any vessel or vessel class that has indicators of impairment and is deemed not recoverable through future operations, the Company determines the fair value of the vessel or vessel class. If the fair value determination is less than the carrying value of the vessel or vessel class, an impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to fair value. Fair value determination is primarily accomplished by obtaining independent valuations of vessel or vessel classes from qualified third-party appraisers.
Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and
10
lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 15.32% was primarily due to foreign taxes paid that are not creditable against U.S. income taxes.

Balance as of September 30, 2023
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings/loss per share of Common Stock of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Warrants”) issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. The Warrants are included in the basic earnings/loss per share of Common Stock because the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are issuable for de minimis cash consideration and therefore not anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings/loss per share of Common Stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants issued and outstanding plus the effect of other potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock method and the if-converted method that assumes all shares of Common Stock have been issued and outstanding during the relevant periods pursuant to the conversion of the Old Convertible Notes and the New Convertible Notes unless anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, diluted loss per share of Common Stock excluded 2,978,724 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, diluted loss per share of Common Stock excluded 2,907,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Old Convertible Notes as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.
In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 diluted loss per share of Common Stock excluded 1,642,084 and 1,645,207 shares of restricted stock, respectively, and 1,026,031 and 1,026,865 shares of Common Stock, respectively, issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.

In connection with the closing of the framework agreement transactions (the “Framework Agreement Transactions”), on September 29, 2022, SEACOR Marine Capital Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine (“SEACOR Marine Capital”) purchased all of the outstanding loans under the MexMar Original Facility Agreement for an aggregate amount of $28.8 million, representing par value of the loan using proceeds received from the Framework Agreement Transactions. On the same date, the MexMar Original Facility Agreement was amended and restated in the MexMar Third A&R Facility Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Mantenimiento Express Marítimo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MexMar”) repaid approximately $8.8 million of the outstanding loan amount and agreed to repay the $20.0 million of the loan that remained outstanding by September 30, 2023 through four quarterly installments of $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the loan balance due from MexMar was repaid in full.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, capital expenditures were $7.0 million. Equipment deliveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include one FSV. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold three liftboats, one specialty vessel, previously removed from service, and other equipment, previously classified as held for sale, as well as other equipment not previously classified as such, for net cash proceeds of $8.0 million, after transaction costs, and a gain of $2.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold one FSV, one liftboat, previously removed from service, office space, and other equipment for net cash proceeds of $6.7 million, after transaction costs, and a gain of $2.2 million, which included impairment charges of $0.9 million for the FSV classified as held for sale during the first quarter of 2022 and sold during the second quarter of 2022.

The proceeds of the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility were made available to the SEACOR Alpine Borrowers in three tranches and were used to satisfy in full amounts outstanding under certain shipyard financing provided by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Zhoushan) Co. in connection with the newbuild delivery of three Marshall Islands flagged platform supply vessels to the SEACOR Alpine Borrowers during 2019 and 2020. The funds available under the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility were fully drawn on June 27, 2023.
The SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility matures on June 27, 2028 (the “SEACOR Alpine Maturity Date”). The principal amount of each of the three tranches of the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility is to be repaid in monthly installments of (i) $100,000 for the first eight (8) installments, (ii) $140,000 for the following twenty-four (24) installments, and (iii) $100,000 for each installment thereafter until the SEACOR Alpine Maturity Date.

The SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility restricts the payment of dividends and distributions and the ability of the SEACOR Alpine Borrowers to make certain investments. In addition, the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility includes customary events of default.
In connection with the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility, SEACOR Marine issued a guaranty with respect to the obligations of the SEACOR Alpine Borrowers under the SEACOR Alpine Credit Agreement and related documents. This guaranty includes, among other customary covenants, various financial covenants, including minimum liquidity, and debt-to-capitalization and interest coverage ratios.
On September 8, 2023, SEACOR Marine entered into an amended and restated guaranty (“A&R SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility Guaranty”) with respect to the SEACOR Alpine Credit Facility.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Interest rate swap agreements (cash flow hedges)
526
Economic Hedges. The Company may enter and settle forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the U.S. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond 12 to 18 months. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no open forward currency exchange contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges. The Company may have interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. By entering into interest rate swap agreements, the Company can convert the variable interest component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate. The Company recognized losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and gains of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2023, there were no interest rate swaps held by the Company.
Other Derivative Instruments. The Company had no derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and recognized gains on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as follows (in thousands):
Conversion option liability on Old Convertible Notes
The conversion option liability related to the bifurcated embedded conversion option in the Old Convertible Notes, issued to investment funds managed and controlled by The Carlyle Group, were exchanged for the New Convertible Notes during the fourth quarter of 2022.
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
Property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.3 million for one leased-in AHTS to adjust for indicative future cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $2.9 million. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.9 million for one FSV classified as held for sale and sold during 2022. In addition, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.7 million for one leased-in AHTS as it is not expected to return to active service during its remaining lease term. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.3 million for other equipment and classified such equipment as assets held for sale, which was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023.
18
In connection with various transactions, the Company issued 2,560,456 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Warrants”). As of September 30, 2023, 1,321,968 Warrants remain outstanding, which are comprised entirely of warrants issued to funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had unfunded capital commitments of $1.0 million for miscellaneous vessel equipment payable during 2024. The Company has indefinitely deferred an additional $9.2 million of orders with respect to one FSV.
In December 2015, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office issued a tax-deficiency notice to Seabulk Offshore do Brasil Ltda, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine (“Seabulk Offshore do Brasil”), with respect to certain profit participation contributions (also known as “PIS”) and social security financing contributions (also known as “COFINS”) requirements alleged to be due from Seabulk Offshore do Brasil (“Deficiency Notice”) in respect of the period of January 2011 until December 2012. In January 2016, the Company administratively appealed the Deficiency Notice on the basis that, among other arguments, (i) such contributions were not applicable in the circumstances of a 70%/30% cost allocation structure, and (ii) the tax inspector had incorrectly determined that values received from outside of Brazil could not be classified as expense refunds. The initial appeal was dismissed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office and the Company appealed such dismissal and is currently awaiting an administrative trial. A local Brazilian law has been enacted that supports the Company’s position that such contribution requirements are not applicable, but it is uncertain whether such law will be taken into consideration with respect to administrative proceedings commenced prior to the enactment of the law. Accordingly, the success of Seabulk Offshore do Brasil in the administrative proceedings cannot be assured and the matter may need to be addressed through judicial court proceedings. The potential levy arising from the Deficiency Notice is R$22.6 million based on a historical potential levy of R$12.87 million (USD $4.5 million and USD $2.6 million, respectively, based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2023).
On April 13, 2021, the SEACOR Power, a liftboat owned by a subsidiary of the Company with nineteen individuals on board, capsized off the coast of Port Fourchon, Louisiana. The incident resulted in the death of several crew members, including the captain of the vessel and five other employees of the Company. The incident also resulted in the constructive total loss of the SEACOR Power. In coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), the Company has completed the salvage operations related to the vessel and the associated salvage costs were covered by insurance proceeds.
The National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) and the USCG have each conducted an investigation to determine the cause of the incident and released their respective final reports. The NTSB’s report determined that the probable cause of the capsizing of the SEACOR Power was a loss of stability that occurred when the vessel was struck by severe thunderstorm winds, which exceeded the vessel’s operation wind speed limits. The NTSB further determined that contributing to the loss of life on the vessel was the speed at which the vessel capsized and the angle at which it came to rest, which made egress difficult, and the high winds and seas in the aftermath of the capsizing, which hampered rescue efforts. The USCG’s report is consistent with the determinations of the NTSB.
Numerous civil lawsuits have been filed against the Company and other third parties by the family members of deceased crew members and the surviving crew members employed by the Company or by third parties. On June 2, 2021, the Company filed a Limitation of Liability Act complaint in federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana (“Limitation Action”), which had the effect of enjoining all existing civil lawsuits and requiring the plaintiffs to file their claims relating to the capsizing of the SEACOR Power in the Limitation Action. Nearly all injury and death claims in the Limitation Action for which the Company has financial exposure
19
have been resolved, and the remaining claims are those for which the Company is owed contractual defense and indemnity or will be covered by insurance.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among others, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect that such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are participating employers in two industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension funds in the United Kingdom: the U.K Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”) and the U.K. Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). The Company’s participation in the MNOPF began with the acquisition of the Stirling group of companies (the “Stirling Group”) in 2001 and relates to certain officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by the Stirling Group and/or its predecessors. The Company’s participation in the MNRPF also began with the acquisition of the Stirling Group in 2001 and relates to ratings employed by the Stirling Group and/or its predecessors through today. Both of these plans are in deficit positions and, depending upon the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the plans could experience funding deficits that will require the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received. As of September 30, 2023, all invoices related to MNOPF and MNRPF have been settled in full.
On October 19, 2021, the Company was informed by the MNRPF that two issues had been identified during a review of the MNRPF by the applicable trustee that would potentially give rise to material additional liabilities for the MNRPF. The MNRPF has indicated that the investigations into these issues remain ongoing, and that further updates will be provided as significant developments arise. Should such additional liabilities require the MNRPF to collect additional funds from participating employers, it is possible that the Company will be invoiced for a portion of such funds and recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

Overview
The Company provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide. As of September 30, 2023, the Company operated a diverse fleet of 59 support vessels, of which 57 were owned or leased-in, and two were managed on behalf of unaffiliated third parties. The primary users of the Company’s services are major integrated national and international oil companies, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, oil field service and construction companies, as well as offshore wind farm operators and offshore wind farm installation and maintenance companies.
The Company operates and manages a diverse fleet of offshore support vessels that (i) deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations, including offshore wind farms, (ii) assist offshore operations for production and storage facilities, (iii) provide construction, well work-over, offshore wind farm installation and decommissioning support, (iv) carry and launch equipment used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance, inspection and repair and (v) handle anchors and mooring equipment for offshore rigs and platforms. Additionally, the Company’s vessels provide emergency response services and accommodations for technicians and specialists.
The Company operates its fleet in four principal geographic regions: the U.S., primarily in the Gulf of Mexico; Africa and Europe; the Middle East and Asia; and Latin America, primarily in Mexico and Guyana. The Company’s vessels are highly mobile and regularly and routinely move between countries within a geographic region. In addition, the Company’s vessels are redeployed among geographic regions, subject to flag restrictions, as changes in market conditions dictate.
Significant items affecting our results of operations
The number and type of vessels operated, their rates per day worked and their utilization levels are the key determinants of the Company’s operating results and cash flows. Unless a vessel is cold-stacked, there is little
reduction in daily running costs for the vessels and, consequently, operating margins are most sensitive to changes in rates per day worked and utilization. The Company manages its fleet utilizing a global network of shore side support, administrative and finance personnel.
Offshore oil and natural gas market conditions are highly volatile. Prices deteriorated beginning in the second half of 2014 and continued to deteriorate when oil prices hit a 13-year low of less than $27 per barrel (on the New York Mercantile Exchange) in February 2016. Oil prices experienced unprecedented volatility during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related effects on the global economy, with the price per barrel going negative for a short period of time. Oil prices have steadily increased since the lows hit at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and hit a multi-year high of $122 per barrel at points during 2022 primarily as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the related economic sanctions and economic uncertainty but have recently decreased to the $91 per barrel range.
While the Company has experienced difficult market conditions over the past few years due to low and volatile oil and natural gas prices and the focus of oil and natural gas producing companies on cost and capital spending budget reductions, the increases since the lows experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic in oil and natural gas prices has led to an increase in utilization, day rates and customer inquiries about potential new charters.
Low oil prices and the subsequent decline in offshore exploration have forced many operators in the industry to restructure or liquidate assets. The Company continues to closely monitor the delivery of newly built offshore support vessels to the industry-wide fleet, which in the recent past contributed to an oversaturated market, thereby further lowering the demand for the Company’s existing offshore support vessel fleet. A combination of (i) low customer exploration and drilling activity levels, and (ii) excess supply of offshore support vessels whether from laid up fleets or newly built vessels could, in isolation or together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.
Certain macro drivers somewhat independent of oil and natural gas prices may support the Company’s business, including: (i) underspending by oil and natural gas producers during the recent industry downturn leading to pent up demand for maintenance and growth capital expenditures; (ii) improved extraction technologies; and (iii) the need for offshore wind farms support as the industry grows. While the Company expects that alternative forms of energy will continue to grow and add to the world’s energy mix, especially as governments, supranational groups and various other parties focus on climate change causes and concerns, the Company believes that for the foreseeable future demand for gasoline and oil will be sustained, as will demand for electricity from natural gas. Some alternative forms of energy such as offshore wind farms support some of the Company’s businesses and the Company expects such support to increase as development of renewable energy expands.
The Company adheres to a strategy of cold-stacking vessels (removing from active service) during periods of weak utilization in order to reduce the daily running costs of operating the fleet, primarily personnel, repairs and maintenance costs, as well as to defer some drydocking costs into future periods. The Company considers various factors in determining which vessels to cold-stack, including upcoming dates for regulatory vessel inspections and related docking requirements. The Company may maintain class certification on certain cold-stacked vessels, thereby incurring some drydocking costs while cold-stacked. Cold-stacked vessels are returned to active service when market conditions improve, or management anticipates improvement, typically leading to increased costs for drydocking, personnel, repair and maintenance in the periods immediately preceding the vessels’ return to active service. Depending on market conditions, vessels with similar characteristics and capabilities may be rotated between active service and cold-stack. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its cold-stacked vessels to determine if any should be designated as retired and removed from service based on the vessel’s physical condition, the expected costs to reactivate and restore class certification, if any, and its viability
26
to operate within current and projected market conditions. As of September 30, 2023, two of the Company’s 59 owned and leased-in vessels was cold-stacked. In addition, the Company had two vessels classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

Direct Vessel Profit. Direct vessel profit (defined as operating revenues less operating expenses excluding leased-in equipment, “DVP”) is the Company’s measure of segment profitability. DVP is a critical financial measure used by the Company to analyze and compare the operating performance of its regions, without regard to financing decisions (depreciation and interest expense for owned vessels vs. lease expense for leased-in vessels). See “Note 13. Segment Information” to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Charter revenues were $0.8 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter due to decreased utilization of the vessels included in the results of this region in both comparative periods (as applicable to each region, the “Regional Core Fleet”). Other marine services were $3.3 million higher primarily due to business interruption insurance revenue and higher vessel mobilization revenues. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two of 13 owned and leased-in vessels (one liftboat and one FSV) cold-stacked in this region compared with two of 14 vessels (one AHTS and one liftboat) as of September 30, 2022. In addition, the Company had one vessel classified as held for sale in this region as of September 30, 2023.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $3.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter for the Regional Core Fleet primarily due to the timing of drydocking, repairs, insurance and other related expenditures.

Leased-in equipment expense for the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months was $0.5 million lower and $1.2 million lower compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months primarily due to the impairment of one leased-in vessel in 2022. Our fleet currently includes one leased in vessel compared to three in the prior year.
Administrative and general. Administrative and general expenses for the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months were $2.3 million higher and $7.5 million higher compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months due to increases in our allowance for credit losses and increases in salaries and benefits expenses in the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months.

Interest income. Interest income for the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months was higher due to interest received for the loan due from MexMar.
Interest expense. Interest expense was higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months primarily due to a higher interest rate on the 2018 SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Credit Facility, a higher interest rate due to the refinancing of the 2018 SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Credit Facility with the 2023 SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Credit Facility, a higher interest rate due to the exchange of the Old Convertible Notes for the Guaranteed Notes and the New Convertible Notes, and higher interest rates on variable rate debt as a result of the interest rate environment.
Loss on debt extinguishment. Loss on debt extinguishment was higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months due to the exchange of the 2018 SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Credit Facility for the 2023 SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Credit Facility. See “Note 5. Long-Term Debt” to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Derivative gains, net. Net derivative losses for the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months decreased due to the Company no longer having a conversion option liability.
Foreign currency gains (losses), net. Foreign currency losses for the Current Year Quarter and Current Year Nine Months compared to foreign currency gains for the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Nine Months was primarily due to various changes in foreign currencies.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 15.32% was primarily due to foreign taxes paid that are not creditable against U.S. income taxes.

MexMar, OVH and SEACOR Marlin. On September 29, 2022, each of the Framework Agreement Transactions were consummated. As a result, the Company no longer owns any equity interest in either MexMar or in OVH, and the Company owns all of the equity interests in SEACOR Marlin LLC. As a result, the Company expects its equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies not to be significant in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, capital commitments and its obligations to service outstanding debt and comply with covenants under its debt facilities. The Company may use its liquidity to fund capital expenditures, make acquisitions or to make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, construction reserve funds, cash flows from operations and collections of our short-term note receivable. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company held balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $58.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company held balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $50.8 million.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, cash generated from operating activities, collections of our short-term note receivable and access to the credit and capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including to support its capital expenditures program, working capital needs, debt service requirements and covenant compliance over the short to long term. The Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. The Company’s sources of liquidity may be impacted by the general condition of the markets in which it operates and the broader economy as a whole, which may limit its access to or the availability of the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management continuously monitors the Company’s liquidity and compliance with covenants in its credit facilities.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Current Year Quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On November 1, 2023, SEACOR Marine entered into an at-the-market sales agreement (the “sales agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “sales agent”), relating to the issuance and sale from time to time by SEACOR Marine (the “ATM Offering”), through the sales agent, of shares of SEACOR Marine’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $25.0 million (the “ATM Shares”). Sales of the ATM Shares, if any, under the sales agreement may be made in ordinary brokers’ transactions, to or through a market maker, on or through the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the existing trading market for SEACOR Marine’s Common Stock, or any other market venue where SEACOR Marine’s Common Stock may be traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The sales agent may also sell the ATM Shares by any other method permitted by law.
Under the terms of the sales agreement, SEACOR Marine may also sell ATM Shares to the sales agent, as principal for its own account, including a block trade, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If SEACOR
Marine sells ATM Shares to the sales agent as principal, SEACOR Marine will enter into a separate terms agreement with the sales agent and will describe any such agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
The sales agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by SEACOR Marine and customary obligations of the parties and termination provisions. SEACOR Marine has agreed to indemnify the sales agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the sales agent may be required to make with respect to any of those liabilities. Under the terms of the sales agreement, SEACOR Marine will pay the sales agent a commission of up to 3% of the gross sales price of any ATM Shares sold.
The ATM Shares to be sold under the sales agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the prospectus forming a part of SEACOR Marine’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262447), which was filed by SEACOR Marine with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 1, 2022 and became effective on February 11, 2022, and the Company will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC related to the ATM Shares. SEACOR Marine plans to use the net proceeds from any sales of ATM Shares pursuant to the sales agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, or the financing of possible acquisitions and investments.
