1) Adjustments to the GAAP financial measures include $2.5 million and $15.4 million of restructuring charges during the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $8.9 million and $25.8 million of restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Adjustments to the GAAP financial measures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 also include a $32.3 million impairment of our Agile vessel following the customer’s termination of the vessel charter in May 2016 given the lack of opportunities for this type of vessel.  These adjustments have been income tax effected when included in net income.  The calculations of total and per share adjusted net income and adjusted operating income and margins are shown in the appendix entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“We are pleased to report operational profitability across all of our Areas driven by our continued focus on cost management and successful project execution.  Key awards in both Mexico and the Middle East resulted in a substantial order intake providing a solid foundation for 2017, with $2.4 billion of expected revenue already recorded in backlog.  Securing these awards demonstrates our continued ability to provide local, vertically integrated solutions that meet our customers’ complex project needs in multiple markets,” said David Dickson, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott.  “The award of Abkatun-A2, our largest project with Pemex to-date, supports our strategic goal of leading in Mexico, and our extensive offshore experience and strong customer relationship in the Middle East resulted in the award of three separate large projects under our Saudi Aramco LTA II, previously announced as an Arabian Gulf customer.  We also won further pipeline work with Brunei Shell Petroleum under a multi-year offshore installation contract, awarded in 2014, building on our successful 2015 campaign performance.  Additionally, our flagship vessel, the DLV 2000, was delivered into operations in June on the INPEX Ichthys project and has been executing exceptionally well.  This quarter also marked the impressive achievement of 35 million man-hours lost time incident free at our Batam yard and 35 million man-hours lost time incident free in our Middle East Area, demonstrating our continued commitment to excellence in safety performance.  In May, we secured the letter of credit capacity for our expected future bidding activity and provided greater certainty around our credit and debt structure through early 2019, with the completion of the amendment and extension of our Credit Agreement.  Looking at the current market, despite the recent rise in commodity prices, customer investment timing continues to be uncertain.  As a result, we are maintaining a strong focus on our cost and operational effectiveness, concentrating on areas where capital is available to invest and strengthening our customer relationships.”

Second Quarter 2016 Operating Results

Second quarter 2016 earnings attributable to McDermott stockholders on a consolidated basis prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) were $20.7 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, compared to a net income of $11.5 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the prior-year second quarter.  The Company generated second quarter 2016 adjusted net income of $22.8 million, or $0.08 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of $2.5 million, compared to an adjusted net income of $26.8 million, or $0.09 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of $15.4 million, in the prior-year second quarter. 

The Company reported second quarter 2016 revenues of $706.6 million, a decrease of $339.9 million, compared to revenues of $1,046.5 million for the prior-year second quarter.  The key projects driving revenue for the second quarter of 2016 were INPEX Ichthys and Saudi Aramco’s Marjan GOSP and LTA II Lump Sum projects. The decrease from the prior-year second quarter is primarily due to marine activity by our subcontractor Heerema on the INPEX Ichthys project in the second quarter of 2015 that was more substantial than activity in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company’s operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was $57.0 million, or an operating margin of 8.1%, compared to $49.1 million, or an operating margin of 4.7%, for the second quarter of 2015.  The Company’s adjusted operating income for the second quarter 2016 was $59.5 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 8.4%, compared to $64.5 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 6.2%, for the second quarter of 2015, excluding the restructuring adjustments mentioned above.  Operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by marine activity on the INPEX Ichthys, Twelve Jackets, and Marjan GOSP projects as well as a productivity improvement on the Jack St. Malo Phase 2 project.  Our operating margin for the second quarter of 2016 was higher due to project improvements and the full impact of our cost restructuring programs.

Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter 2016 was $16.5 million, an increase compared to the $7.5 million of cash used in the second quarter 2015.  While we had a decrease in total cash primarily due to capital expenditures for the DLV 2000 and the $75 million prepayment of our Term Loan B associated with the amendment and extension of our credit facility, our operating cash flow remained positive, primarily resulting from steady collections in the Middle East.

First Half 2016 Operating Results

Net income attributable to McDermott stockholders on a consolidated basis prepared in accordance with GAAP for the first six months of 2016 was $18.5 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the first six months of 2015.  For the first half of 2016, adjusted net income was $59.1 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of $8.9 million and an impairment loss of $32.3 million related to the Agile vessel, compared to adjusted net income of $22.4 million, or $0.08 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of $25.8 million in the first six months of 2015. 

The Company reported revenues of $1,435.7 million for the first six months of 2016, a decrease of $161.3 million, compared to revenues of $1,597.0 million for the prior-year comparable period.  Revenue for the first half of 2016 was primarily impacted by the INPEX Ichthys and Saudi Aramco’s Marjan GOSP and Twelve Jackets projects.

The Company’s operating income for the first six months of 2016 was $93.0 million, or an operating margin of 6.5%, compared to $62.4 million, or an operating margin of 3.9%, for the comparable period of 2015.  The Company’s adjusted operating income for June 2016 year-to-date was $134.1 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 9.3%, compared to $88.2 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 5.5%, for the first six months of 2015, excluding the adjustments mentioned above.  Operating income for the first six months of 2016 was primarily driven by marine activity on the INPEX Ichthys and the Saudi Aramco’s Twelve Jackets and Marjan GOSP projects.  Our operating margin for the first half of 2016 was higher due to project improvements and the full impact of our cost restructuring programs.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2016 was $75.8 million, an increase compared to the $26.1 million of cash used in the 2015 comparable period.  Overdue payments received from Pemex during the first quarter of 2016, as well as steady collections in the Middle East, positively impacted the first six months of cash provided by operating activities.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s backlog was $4.4 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at March 31, 2016. Of the June 30, 2016 backlog, approximately 80% is related to offshore operations and approximately 20% is related to subsea operations. Order intake in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $1.2 billion, including the award of the Pemex Abkatun-A2 project and three separate contracts with Saudi Aramco, previously announced as awards by an Arabian Gulf customer, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.7x.  At June 30, 2016, the Company had bids outstanding and target projects of approximately $16.7 billion in its pipeline that it expects will be awarded in the market through September 30, 2017.  In total, the Company’s potential revenue pipeline, including backlog, was $21.1 billion as of June 30, 2016.

In the Americas, Europe and Africa (“AEA”), following the successful delivery of the Pemex PB Litoral project, we were recently awarded the Abkatun-A2 project, which is our largest project in size and value to-date for Pemex.  All aspects of the project will be based in Mexico, with fabrication executed at our top-tier Altamira facility.  The platform will be located in Mexico’s Bay of Campeche in 124 feet of water, and will provide replacement and expansion capabilities to the existing Ku-Maloob-Zaap, Cantarell and Ayatsil facilities.  We have resumed work on the Ayatsil C project, which was previously suspended by Pemex to allow for assessment of the overall Ayatsil field infrastructure sequencing requirements.  Fabrication of the 7,500-ton jacket on the project is now on track for completion in July, with planned installation by the DB 50 in the fourth quarter of 2016.  In May, the Chevron Jack St. Malo Phase 2 project (“JSM2”) successfully completed offshore execution, with the DB 50 installing the four slot subsea manifold and the North Ocean 102 completing the remaining subsea scope, which included installation of two 77,260 foot dynamic control umbilicals.  As a first for the area, the JSM2 jumpers were fabricated at the Gulfport Spoolbase, demonstrating the range of capabilities at this facility.  After the successful installation work on JSM2, the DB 50 completed installation and heavy-lift work for several other customers, including Anchor, Williams and Shell.

The Middle East (“MEA”) backlog was increased this quarter by the award of a substantial package consisting of three new EPCI projects for Saudi Aramco.  All three awards involve brownfield work scopes in fields in which we have extensive experience. During the quarter, execution of the Saudi Aramco LTA II Lump Sum project has continued to progress well following the early start to fabrication in the first quarter of 2016.  The last remaining jacket on the Twelve Jackets project is complete, ready for load-out and installation and expected to meet the customer’s revised timing.  The offshore pre-commissioning on the ADMA 4 Gas Injection project in Abu Dhabi has now commenced after the successful completion of all major installation scopes.  Meanwhile, progress on Qatar projects remain on track with a notable milestone being the installation of the jacket for Qatar Petroleum at the North Field Alpha complex.  The Area remains focused on safety after the recent and impressive achievement of 35 million man-hours Lost Time Incident (“LTI”) free.

Asia (“ASA”) new orders in the second quarter of 2016 included the award of transportation and installation work for Brunei Shell Petroleum Company under the three-year installation contract which was awarded in 2014.  The 2017 campaign includes 20 miles of pipeline installations, with the associated beach and pipeline crossings, tie-ins, riser installation and pre-commissioning of the completed system in the Fairley and Ampa fields offshore Brunei.  Offshore Malaysia, the Company’s Derrick Barge 30 successfully completed the Hess Bergading project, which included the installation of a large processing facility jacket and a wellhead platform jacket and topside.  The INPEX Ichthys project continues to remain on schedule off the north coast of Australia and our recently delivered vessel, the DLV 2000, is executing flawlessly on the installation of various pipeline spools and large subsea facilities on the project.  The ONGC Vashishta project has achieved significant progress in engineering and procurement, and the start of fabrication by our consortium partner, L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering, is now due to start ahead of schedule.   In the Batam yard, fabrication work on the modules for the Yamal LNG Project remains on schedule with the first batch of modules ready for shipment as planned in the third quarter of 2016.  Fabrication of subsea modules, umbilical termination assemblies and subsea distribution units for the FMC Jangkrik project is also progressing well in Batam, with the subsea structures fabrication now in the final phase of factory acceptance testing. The Batam yard has also accomplished an excellent record of 35 million man hours LTI free this quarter.

Cost Structure Progress

Substantially all remaining activities for the McDermott Profitability Initiative (“MPI”) have been completed.  During the quarter the majority of the resources at our ASA headquarters moved from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.  In addition, we completed the remaining sourcing initiatives.  We still expect MPI to result in cash savings of $150 million annually, which remains incorporated into our 2016 guidance.

Our Additional Overhead Reduction (“AOR”) program, which was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2015, is nearing completion, with the expected conclusion of all remaining activities by the end of the third quarter of 2016.  We still anticipate in-year cash savings of $45 million resulting from the program.

The Company’s restructuring costs for second quarter of 2016 were $2 million and are now expected to be approximately $12 million for the full-year 2016, as a result of remaining actions for both the MPI and AOR programs.

Updates to our full-year 2016 guidance are driven by revisions in our expected project sequencing and improvements in projects that have recently been completed.  Although uncertainty remains in the macro commodity environment, for now, we will continue to concentrate on our highest value proposition opportunities, executing our existing backlog, increasing customer alignment, our asset utilization and cost/liquidity management.

Credit Facility Amendment and Extension

In May 2016, we satisfied all the conditions to effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 to our Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”) which in part extended the maturity date of our letter of credit facility to April 22, 2019 (or January 15, 2019 if the term loan remains outstanding or is not refinanced by that date). In April, other provisions of Amendment No. 3 became effective for the first quarter of 2016, including replacing an existing minimum EBITDA requirement with what we believe is a more conventional covenant package, comprised of two leverage ratios and a fixed charge coverage ratio and reduced certain reporting requirements to the Credit Agreement lenders.  As a part of obtaining the term lender consents to Amendment No. 3, we repaid $75 million of our term loan and entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Credit Agreement, which increased the applicable margin on the term loan by 300 basis points per annum and requires the net cash proceeds from any sale of the DLV 2000 be applied to repay the term loan.

Other Financial Information

Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 284.9 million and 289.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 283.1 million and 237.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Common shares for the settlement of the common stock purchase contracts related to the Tangible Equity Units (“TEUs”) representing 40.9 million additional shares, as well as other potentially dilutive shares, were included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares on an unadjusted and adjusted basis for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and the six months ended June 30, 2016.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the TEUs and other dilutive shares were not included in the fully diluted share count for unadjusted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect, but were included in the fully diluted share count for adjusted earnings per share.

NON-GAAP Measures

This press release includes several “non-GAAP” financial measures as defined under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of those operations. The non-GAAP measures we have presented in this press release include non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Margin, the total and diluted per share amounts of non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to the Company, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the supplemental information set forth at the end of this press release.

1Non-GAAP measures include the total and diluted per share amounts of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the Company and adjusted operating income and operating margin, in each case excluding the impact of certain identified items. We believe that total and per share adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted operating income and operating margin are useful measures for investors to review because they provide consistent measures of the underlying results of our ongoing business. Furthermore, our management uses adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted operating income as measures of the performance of our operations. However, Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for operating income, net income or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

2Restructuring charges are primarily associated with workforce reductions, facility closures, consultant fees, lease terminations and asset impairments.

3Impairment loss is related to an impairment of our Agile vessel during first quarter of 2016, upon termination of its charter in May 2016 given the lack of opportunities for this type of vessel.

4Diluted EPS is calculated using a share count determined by whether the period has a net income or a net loss.  In the event of net income, Diluted EPS uses the fully diluted share count; however, in the event of a net loss, the potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the share count.

1Forecast Non-GAAP measures include the total and diluted per share amounts of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the Company and adjusted operating income, free cash flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in each case excluding the impact of certain identified items. See footnote 1 to the preceding tables for a discussion of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the Company.  We define “free cash flow” as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures.  We believe investors consider free cash flow as an important measure because it generally represents funds available to pursue opportunities that may enhance shareholder value, such as making acquisitions or other investments.  Our management uses free cash flow for that reason.  We define EBITDA as net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA less the adjustments relating to restructuring charges and impairment loss detailed on the second immediately preceding page.  We have included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA disclosures in this press release because EBITDA is widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other companies in our industry and because Adjusted EBITDA provides a consistent measure of EBITDA relating to our underlying business.  Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash that we must use to service our debt or pay our income taxes, and thus do not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures, dividends or various other purposes.  In addition, our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in other companies’ reports. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

2Restructuring charges are primarily associated with workforce reductions, facility closures, consultant fee, lease terminations and asset impairments.

3Impairment loss is related to an impairment of our Agile vessel during first quarter of 2016 upon termination of its charter in May 2016 given the lack of opportunities for this type of vessel.

4We did not adjust Q1’16 Guidance for taxes and therefore tax impacts are not included.

5Diluted EPS is calculated using a share count determined by whether the period has a net income or a net loss.  In the event of net income, Diluted EPS uses the fully diluted share count; however, in the event of a net loss the potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the share count.
