NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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, 2018.
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 February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new leasing standard, ASC 842, meant to improve transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and applied the transition provisions of the new standard with recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and therefore the Company was not required to recast previously issued financial statements. The Company elected the available practical expedients permitted under the guidance including the ability to carry forward the existing lease classification, the option to not separate lease and non-lease components in calculating the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities and to not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases (leases that have a duration of twelve months or less at lease inception). For some leases, it was not possible for the Company to determine the interest rate implicit in each of its operating leases and therefore used the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in calculating operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company included renewal options that were reasonably certain of being exercised in determining the lease term. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $33.7 million of right-of-use assets, $31.9 million in lease liabilities, and a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $1.7 million for certain of the Company’s equipment, office and land leases. In addition, unamortized deferred gains for four vessels previously accounted for under sale-leaseback arrangements of $8.7 million, ($11.0 million deferred gains net of $2.3 million deferred taxes), were fully recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). The amendments in ASU 2018-02 permit a reclassification from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“TCJA”). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. For the period ending June 30, 2019, an election has not been made to reclassify the income tax effects of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, a new accounting standard which addresses aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of the new standard by the Company did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations and cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies.
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. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
Lease Revenues. The Company’s lease revenues are primarily from time charters and bareboat charters that are recognized ratably over the lease term as services are provided, typically on a per day basis. The charterer will take the vessel on hire for a specific period of time, use the vessel to move cargo, people or equipment and will pay the Company the agreed upon rate per day. Under a time charter the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and the Company is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel. Under a bareboat charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses, including fuel, and the risk of operation (see Note 14).
Revenues from Customers of Management Services. 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 vessel, provisions and bunkering. As manager, the Company undertakes to use its best endeavors to provide the agreed management services as agents for, and on behalf of the ship 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 the agreed upon management services. The Company also contracts with various customers to carry out management services regarding engineering for vessel construction and vessel conversions. The majority of the ship management agreements have a duration of one to three years and are typically billed monthly. The Company 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 (see Note 14).
Revenue that does not meet the aforementioned criteria is deferred until the criteria is met and are considered contract liabilities. Contract liabilities which are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):
Balance at beginning of period
10,104
Revenues deferred during the period
4,211
1,673
Revenues recognized during the period
(2,367
(1,550
Balance at end of period
10,227
As of June 30, 2019, contract liabilities include $1.6 million related to the time charter of an offshore support vessel to a customer for which collection was not reasonably assured. The Company will recognize revenues when collected or when collection is reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to this charter were recognized as incurred.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company has deferred $1.4 million received as reimbursement for upgrades of a vessel and deferred reservation fees. The amount will be recognized in revenues over time, commencing with the start of the new time charter agreement for the vessel.
8
The remaining balance of $0.2 million as of June 30, 2019 is comprised of contract liabilities to two customers for which collection is not reasonably assured.
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 assets 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 June 30, 2019, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Offshore Support Vessels:
Crew transfer vessels
All other offshore support vessels (excluding crew transfer vessels)
20
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. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, capitalized interest totaled $0.7 million.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, 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 the estimated 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. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected undiscounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $5.9 million of impairment charges primarily related to two anchor-handling towing supply (“AHTS”) vessels previously removed from service, two AHTS vessels and four fast support vessels (“FSV”) which have all been adjusted to indicative sales price. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $3.0 million of impairment charges primarily related to four AHTS vessels removed from service and adjusted to scrap value.
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 lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1.2 million related to one of its 50% or less owned companies which the Company believed was unable to meet all of its liabilities.

Income Taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's effective income tax rate of 12.5% was primarily due to taxes provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. income taxes, and foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 20.1% was primarily due to taxes provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. income taxes, foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income taxes, and a reversal of an unrecognized tax benefit.
Deferred Gains. The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. In 2018, a portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and were amortized in operating expenses as a reduction to rental expense. The new lease accounting pronouncement which was adopted on January 1, 2019 required the recognition of unamortized gains as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Leases with contractual terms less than twelve months are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease. Leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months are categorized as either operating or finance, with corresponding right-of-use asset and lease liability recorded on the balance sheet. Finance leases are generally those leases that substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. All other leases are categorized as operating leases.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, using an implicit discount rate if available, or if not readily available, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments and are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. When options exist to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that these options will be exercised, the options are considered in determining the classification and measurement of the lease.
Loss Per Share. Basic loss per common share of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and warrants to purchase common shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Warrants”) issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. The Warrants are included in the basic loss per common share because the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are issuable for de minimis cash consideration and therefore not anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares 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 common shares have been issued and outstanding during the relevant periods pursuant to the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, diluted earnings per common share of the Company excluded 2,183,708 common shares, respectively, issuable pursuant to the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes (see Note 4) as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, diluted loss per common share of the Company excluded 340,459 and 196,338 shares of restricted stock, respectively, and 705,078 and 694,691 shares of stock, respectively, issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, a new accounting standard which modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The effects of this standard on our financial position or reporting is not expected to be material.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, a new accounting standard which provided guidance regarding the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement). The guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the provisions of the standard but does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, an amendment to the accounting standards which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassification. Certain amounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on total assets, liabilities, or net loss.

INVESTMENTS, AT EQUITY AND ADVANCES TO 50% OR LESS OWNED COMPANIES
SEACOSCO. The Company, through SEACOR Offshore Asia LLC, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine (“SEACOR Offshore Asia”), owns an unconsolidated 50% interest in SEACOSCO Offshore LLC (“SEACOSCO”). China Shipping Fan Tai Limited (“CSFT”) and China Shipping Industry (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (“CSIHK”) own the other 50% interest in SEACOSCO. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, SEACOSCO took delivery of three PSVs and title to one PSV, and the Company contributed $2.0 million in capital to SEACOSCO for the payment of construction costs. In the year ended December 31, 2018, SEACOSCO took delivery of two PSVs and title to another five of the PSVs, and the Company contributed $29.6 million in capital to SEACOSCO.
During the current quarter, SEACOSCO was advised by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (the “Shipyard”), the shipbuilder and lender under deferred payment agreements (“DPAs”) that are secured by the PSVs acquired by SEACOSCO, that SEACOSCO was in default under such agreements for two of the PSVs acquired by SEACOSCO for failure to make certain principal and interest payments in a timely manner. The Shipyard agreed to defer any action on this default pending a meeting of the board of managers of SEACOSCO to discuss capital contributions by each of the members of SEACOSCO and the settlement of the default under the DPAs.
In connection with these events, SEACOR Offshore Asia, CSFT, CSIHK and the Shipyard entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) effective May 31, 2019 pursuant to which (i) the Shipyard agreed to not take any action with respect to any existing defaults under the DPAs until August 31, 2019, (ii) SEACOR Offshore Asia was authorized to provide, in its sole discretion, shareholder loans to SEACOSCO and/or its subsidiaries in respect of working capital or other payment obligations at an interest rate of 15% per annum and, subject to the priority of the indebtedness under the DPAs, the shareholder loans will have senior priority to any and all other debts of SEACOSCO and/or its subsidiaries, (iii) the parties set out the non-binding principal terms and conditions for SEACOR Offshore Asia’s potential acquisition of the 50% interest in SEACOSCO owned by CSFT and CSIHK and (iv) in connection with such acquisition, SEACOR Offshore Asia or its nominee may acquire from the Shipyard two additional PSVs that had been under options held by SEACOSCO. Management remains in discussions with the Shipyard, CSFT and CSIHK with respect to the transactions contemplated by the MOU.
Mexmar Offshore International. On December 19, 2018, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Mexmar Offshore International for consideration of $4.9 million. The joint venture owns 14 vessels servicing the energy industry in Brazil. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the joint venture has incurred losses in excess of the initial investment, and the equity investment on the Company’s books has been reduced to zero. The Company has not provided any guarantees or capital commitments with respect to this investment.
FRS Windcat Offshore Logistics GmbH. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company concluded the sale of one vessel under construction for $4.3 million to a wholly owned subsidiary of FRS Windcat Offshore Logistics GmbH, an unconsolidated joint venture.
Guarantees. Two of the Company's 50% or less owned companies have bank debt secured by, among other things, a first preferred mortgage on the 50% or less owned companies’ vessels. The banks also have the authority to require the Company and its partners to fund uncalled capital commitments, as defined in the partnership agreements governing the companies. In such event, the Company would be required to contribute its allocable share of uncalled capital, which was, as of June 30, 2019, $0.8 million in the aggregate. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company and certain of its 50% or less owned companies have interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its 50% or less owned companies have converted the variable LIBOR or EURIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate. The Company recognized immaterial losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the interest rate swaps held by the Company and its 50% or less owned companies were as follows:
•
Windcat Workboats Holdings Ltd. (“Windcat Workboats”) has two interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2021 that call for the Company to pay a fixed rate of interest of (0.03%) per annum on the aggregate notional value of €15.0 million (approximately $17.0 million) and receive a variable interest rate based on EURIBOR on the aggregate notional value;
SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings Inc. (“SMFH”) has an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2023 that calls for SMFH to pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.32% per annum on the amortized notional value of $9.3 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value;
SMFH has an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2023 that calls for SMFH to pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.195% per annum on the amortized notional value of $51.3 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value;
SEACOR 88 LLC and SEACOR 888 LLC (collectively, “SEACOR 88/888”) have an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2023 that calls for SEACOR 88/888 to pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.2% per annum on the amortized notional value of $5.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value; and
MexMar has five interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2023 that call for MexMar to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.71% to 2.10% per annum on the aggregate amortized notional value of $91.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.

The conversion option liability relates to the bifurcated embedded conversion option in the Convertible Senior Notes issued to investment funds managed and controlled by the Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”). See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements.
The Company and certain of its 50% or less owned companies have entered into interest rate swap agreements that did not qualify as cash flow hedges for the general purpose of providing protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs. As of June 30, 2019, these interest rate swaps held by the Company or its 50% or less owned companies were as follows:
SEACOR OSV Partners I LP (“OSV Partners”) has two interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2020 that call for OSV Partners to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.89% to 2.27% per annum on the aggregate amortized notional value of $25.4 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 June 30, 2019 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Construction reserve funds

Level 3 Measurement. The fair value of the conversion option liability on the Convertible Senior Notes is estimated with significant inputs that are both observable and unobservable in the market and therefore is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company used a binomial lattice model that assumes the holders will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between redeeming at the redemption price or converting into shares of Common Stock. This model estimates the fair value of the conversion option as the differential in the fair value of the notes including the conversion option compared with the fair value of the notes excluding the conversion option. The significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the price of Common Stock and the risk-free interest rate. The significant unobservable inputs are the estimated Company credit spread and Common Stock volatility, which were based on comparable companies in the transportation and energy industries.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019 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. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. 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.
The Company’s other assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows (in thousands);
Property and equipment:
AHTS

Property and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges of $5.9 million primarily associated with certain vessels (see Note 1). The Level 2 fair values were determined based on the sales prices of similar property and equipment as scrap value.

WARRANTS
On April 26, 2018, the Company closed a private placement of its Common Stock and Warrants to purchase its Common Stock (which were issued to certain investors in place of Common Stock to facilitate compliance with Jones Act restrictions) for aggregate gross proceeds of $56,855,000 (the “PIPE Private Placement”) with certain qualified institutional buyers and other accredited investors. The PIPE Private Placement included the issuance of 2,168,586 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 674,164 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “PIPE Warrants”). The PIPE Warrants were issued to Proyectos Globales de Energía y Servicios CME, S.A. de C.V. a variable capital corporation (sociedad anónima de capital variable) incorporated and existing under the laws of the United Mexican States (“CME”) on April 26, 2018, have a 25-year term and an exercise price of $0.01 per share. On May 2, 2018, the Company and Carlyle entered into an amendment and exchange agreement pursuant to which Carlyle exchanged $50.0 million in principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes for warrants to purchase 1,886,292 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Exchange Warrants” and, together with the PIPE Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Exchange Warrants have a 25-year term, which commenced May 2, 2018. On May 31, 2018, June 8, 2018, May 28, 2019 and June 14, 2019, 250,693, 38,857, 380,000 and 64,440 of the PIPE Warrants were exercised, respectively for $0.01 per share, which left 1,826,966 Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2019. In conjunction with the exercise of Warrants on June 14, 2019, 49 shares of Common Stock were withheld as payment for the exercise price of the Warrants.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The impact of adopting ASC 842 resulted in an increase of $10.4 million, net of tax, to the Company’s opening retained earnings for the current period.
On January 9, 2019, certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of SEACOR Marine acquired three FSVs in exchange for the private placement of 603,872 shares of its Common Stock to domestic U.S. holders affiliated with the McCall family of Louisiana. The value of the vessels and the Common Stock was $7.8 million based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the NYSE on the day of the exchange. The Common Stock was issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company has operated the acquired vessels for the past ten years under a revenue sharing pooling agreement that included four of its owned FSVs of similar specification. In accordance with its terms, this pooling agreement was terminated.
On January 25, 2019, Seabulk Overseas Transport, Inc. (“Seabulk Overseas”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Marine, acquired a 6.25% minority interest in Windcat Workboats that it did not previously own upon the exercise of certain put options by one of the two minority owners pursuant to the terms of a subscription and shareholders agreement, as amended (the “Subscription and Shareholders Agreement”), in exchange for consideration of £1.5 million (approximately $2.0 million) in cash. The Company acquired the other 6.25% minority interest in Windcat Workboats that the Company did not already own on March 15, 2019 in exchange for consideration of 50,000 shares of Common Stock and €1.2 million (approximately $1.4 million) in cash. The Common Stock was issued in a private placement in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The two acquisitions resulted in Seabulk Overseas owning (and SEACOR Marine indirectly owning) 100% of Windcat Workboats.

(“SEACOR Holdings”) has guaranteed $32.1 million on behalf of the Company for various obligations including: performance obligations under sale-leaseback arrangements and invoiced amounts for funding deficits under the U.K. Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, SEACOR Holdings charges the Company a fee of 0.5% on outstanding guaranteed amounts, which declines as the obligations are settled by the Company.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, 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 such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report]. However, it should be understood that it is not possible to identify or predict all such risks, uncertainties and factors, and others may arise from time to time. All of these forward-looking statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements Forward looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. It is advisable, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”).
The Company provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore oil, natural gas exploration and windfarm development and production facilities worldwide. As of June 30, 2019, the Company and its joint ventures operate a diverse fleet of 177 support and specialty vessels, of which 127 were owned or leased-in, 46 were joint ventured and four were managed on behalf of unaffiliated third parties. The primary users of the Company’s services are major integrated oil companies, large independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies and emerging independent companies, as well as windfarm operations and installation contractors.
The Company’s fleet features offshore support and specialty vessels that deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations; handle anchors and mooring equipment required to tether rigs to the seabed; tow rigs and assist in placing them on location and moving them between regions; provide construction, well workover and decommissioning support; carry and launch equipment used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance and repair; and provide windfarm installation, maintenance and repair support. Additionally, the Company’s vessels provide accommodations for technicians and specialists, safety support and emergency response services. The Company’s fleet also features crew transfer vessels used primarily in windfarm operations.
The Company operates its fleet in five principal geographic regions: the United States, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico; Africa, primarily in West Africa; the Middle East and Asia; Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America (“Latin America”); and Europe, primarily in the North Sea. 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 its geographic regions, subject to flag restrictions, as changes in market conditions dictate. 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 deteriorated beginning in the second half of 2014 and continued to deteriorate when oil prices hit a thirteen-year low of less than $27 per barrel (on the New York Mercantile Exchange) in February 2016. As of June 30, 2019, oil prices had increased from the February 2016 lows to a price of approximately $60 per barrel. While the Company has experienced what it believes is a beginning of a recovery, it continued to experience difficult market conditions through the first half of 2019.
Low oil prices and the subsequent decline in offshore exploration have forced many operators in the industry to restructure or liquidate assets in addition to cold-stacking and laying up vessels. The Company continues to closely monitor the reactivation of existing offshore support vessels as well as the delivery of newly built offshore support vessels to the industry-wide fleet, which is creating situations of oversupply, thereby further lowering the demand for the Company’s existing offshore support vessel fleet. A continuation of (i) low customer exploration and drilling activity levels and (ii) the increasing size of the global offshore support vessel fleet as vessels are reactivated and newly built vessels are placed into service could, in isolation or together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
As shipyards, finance parties and industry operators have been forced to restructure or liquidate assets, the Company has reviewed discreet opportunities to acquire or takeover the management of certain assets. In this industry context, the Company may from time to time deploy capital in connection with transactions that it determines enhance market coverage and/or represent a substantial discount to replacement value.
Recent Events
SEACOSCO
In connection with these events, SEACOR Offshore Asia, CSFT, CSIHK and the Shipyard entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) effective May 31, 2019 pursuant to which (i) the Shipyard agreed not take any action with respect to any existing defaults under the DPAs until August 31, 2019, (ii) SEACOR Offshore Asia was authorized to provide, in its sole discretion, shareholder loans to SEACOSCO and/or its subsidiaries in respect of working capital or other payment obligations at an interest rate of 15% per annum and, subject to the priority of the indebtedness under the DPAs, the shareholder loans will have senior priority to any and all other debts of SEACOSCO and/or its subsidiaries, (iii) the parties set out the non-binding principal terms and conditions for SEACOR Offshore Asia’s potential acquisition of the 50% interest in SEACOSCO owned by CSFT and CSIHK and (iv) in connection with such acquisition, SEACOR Offshore Asia or its nominee may acquire from the Shipyard two additional PSVs that had been under options held by SEACOSCO. Management remains in discussions with the Shipyard, CSFT and CSIHK with respect to the transactions contemplated by the MOU.
Cost Savings Initiatives
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company initiated certain cost reduction initiatives to better align its operating expenses with the current state of its business and the offshore marine industry, including a reduction of workforce, reorganization of the management structure, closure and/or consolidation of certain facilities and streamlining of operations. The Company expects these initiatives, which will impact all of its reportable segments, to be completed by the second quarter of 2020 and to realize annualized recurring savings of at least $8.0 million once completed. The Company anticipates incurring one-time restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2019 arising from these restructuring activities. Management continues to focus on optimizing the cost structure and regional footprint of the business to help maintain the Company’s competitiveness in the industry, improve its operating leverage and position itself to take advantage of market opportunities.

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 when applied to reportable segments and a non-GAAP measure when applied to individual vessels, fleet categories or the combined fleet. DVP is a critical financial measure used by the Company to analyze and compare the operating performance of its individual vessels, fleet categories, regions and combined fleet, without regard to financing decisions (depreciation for owned vessel vs. leased expense for leased-in vessels). DVP is also useful when comparing the Company's fleet's performance against those of its competitors who may have differing fleet financing structures.
DVP by region and by vessel class has material limitations as an analytical tool in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operation of the Company’s fleet and it should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of DVP by region and by vessel class to operating loss, its most comparable GAAP measure, is included in the tables below.

Other Income (Expense), Net
For the periods ended June 30, the Company’s other income (expense) was as follows (in thousands):
Interest expense. Interest expense in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months was higher primarily due to additional interest incurred on the debt facilities of SEACOR Marine Foreign Holdings and SEACOR 88/888, along with higher interest as a result of the variable nature of interest rates on debt facilities.
Derivative losses, net. Net derivative losses during the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months and Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months were primarily due to increases in the fair value of the Company’s conversion option liability embedded in the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes. The increase in the conversion option liability was primarily the result of increases in the Company’s share price and estimated credit spread.
Foreign currency gains, net. Foreign currency gains for the Current Six Months were primarily due to the weakening of the pound sterling in relation to the euro underlying certain of the Company’s debt balances.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's effective income tax rate of 12.5% was primarily due to taxes provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interest, foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. income taxes, and foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 20.1% was primarily due to taxes provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests, foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. income taxes, foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income taxes, and a reversal of an unrecognized benefit.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of 50% or Less Owned Companies
Equity in losses of 50% or less owned companies for the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months were $6.3 million and $9.9 million lower, respectively, due to the following changes in equity earnings (losses) (in thousands):

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, construction reserve funds, cash generated from operating activities, availability under existing subsidiary financing arrangements 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 and debt service requirements. 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 the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s performance and liquidity, as well as the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There has been no material change in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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 quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
