Tidewater Reports Second Quarter Results For Fiscal 2017

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) announced today a second quarter net loss for the period ended September 30, 2016, of $178.5 million, or $3.79 per common share, on revenues of $143.7 million. For the same quarter last year, net loss was $43.8 million, or $0.93 per common share, on revenues of $271.9 million. The immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2016, had a net loss of $89.1 million, or $1.89 per common share, on revenues of $167.9 million.

Included in the net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were the following:

  • $129.6 million ($129.6 million after-tax, or $2.75 per share) in non-cash asset impairment charges that resulted from impairment reviews undertaken during the September 2016 quarter.
  • $2.5 million ($2.2 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) of foreign exchange losses resulting primarily from the strengthening of the Norwegian kroner on liabilities relative to the U.S. dollar.
  • $0.6 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share) of foreign exchange gains which is included in Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated companies and related to our Angola joint venture, Sonatide.

Included in the net loss for the prior fiscal year's quarter ended September 30, 2015 were the following:

  • $31.7 million ($31.6 million after-tax, or $0.67 per share) in non-cash asset impairment charges that resulted from impairment reviews undertaken during the September 2015 quarter.
  • A $7.6 million ($6.3 million after-tax, or $0.13 per share) restructuring charge related to severance and other termination costs resulting from right-sizing efforts during the September 2015 quarter.
  • $5.2 million ($5.2 million after-tax, or $0.11 per share) of foreign exchange losses which is included in Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated companies and related to our Angola joint venture, Sonatide.

Included in the net loss for the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2016 were the following:

  • $36.9 million ($36.1 million after-tax, or $0.77 per share) in non-cash asset impairment charges that resulted from impairment reviews undertaken during the June 2016 quarter.
  • $2.7 million ($2.6 million after-tax, or $0.06 per share) of foreign exchange losses, most notably the devaluation of the Nigerian naira relative to the U.S. dollar.
  • $1.1 million ($1.1 million after-tax, or $0.02 per share) of foreign exchange losses which is included in Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated companies and related to our Angola joint venture, Sonatide.

Income tax expense largely reflects tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions that levy taxes on bases other than pre-tax profitability (so called "deemed profit" regimes.)

Status of Discussions with Lenders and Noteholders

Please refer to Note (6) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note (5) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016 for additional information regarding the company's outstanding debt.

The decrease in oil and gas prices that began in the second half of fiscal 2015 and continued throughout fiscal 2016 has led to materially lower levels of spending for offshore exploration and development by the company's customers globally. In addition, newly constructed vessels have been delivered over the last several years, exacerbating weak vessel utilization. With reduced demand for offshore support vessels along with a higher number of newer generation vessels, the company has experienced a significant decline in the utilization of its vessels, average day rates received and vessel revenue. The company has implemented a number of significant cost reduction measures to mitigate the effects of significantly lower vessel revenue and, given the currently challenging offshore support vessel market and business outlook, continues its efforts to reduce its operating costs and preserve its liquidity.

At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the company did not meet the 3.0x minimum interest coverage ratio covenant (the "minimum interest coverage ratio requirement") contained in its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement ("Bank Loan Agreement"), the Troms Offshore Debt and the 2013 Senior Note Agreement (the "2013 Note Agreement"). Failure to meet the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement would have resulted in covenant noncompliance; however, as discussed in more detail below, limited waivers were received. Without these limited waivers, the respective lenders and/or the noteholders would have had the ability to declare the company to be in default of the Bank Loan Agreement, the Troms Offshore Debt and/or the 2013 Note Agreement, as applicable, and accelerate the indebtedness thereunder, the effect of which would be to likewise cause the company's other Senior Notes, which were issued in 2010 and 2011, to be in default.

The company's bank loans and its notes are linked together by cross-default provisions, such that if either the lenders or the noteholders declare the loans or notes to be in default, the other indebtedness likewise will be in default, and all of the debt at that time may be accelerated if the majority of lenders or noteholders under the respective debt agreements elect to accelerate. If the company is not in compliance with covenants set forth in the agreements evidencing these debt obligations, and such non-compliance is not waived, then the holders of a majority of loans may declare the bank loans to be in default, and the holders of a majority in principal amount of any of the three classes of the company's notes may declare that class of notes to be in default. In such event, all of our indebtedness would be accelerated, and the company will not have sufficient liquidity to repay those accelerated amounts. The decision as to whether to accelerate the debt upon the company's non-compliance with the debt covenants lies with the lenders and noteholders.

While the company is continuing to work toward amendments to its various debt arrangements that will be acceptable to all parties, there is a possibility that the lenders, noteholders and the company will not be able to negotiate new debt terms that are acceptable to all parties, in which case the company will likely seek reorganization under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws, which could include a restructuring of the company's various debt obligations and could place equity holders at significant risk of losing some or all of their interests in the company.

Given that the company expected it would not meet the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement set forth in the Bank Loan Agreement, the Troms Offshore Debt and the 2013 Note Agreement during fiscal 2017, which could result in the acceleration of the debt under these agreements and the company's other Senior Notes, the report of the company's independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied the company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (the "audit opinion") contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Such going concern explanatory paragraph was required because the company's internal forecast indicated that, within fiscal 2017, the company may no longer be in compliance with the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement.

In addition, the Bank Loan Agreement and the Troms Offshore Debt require that the company receive an unqualified audit opinion from an independent certified public accountant that is not subject to a going concern or similar modification. The inability of the company to obtain an audit opinion without any modification is an independent event of default under these agreements which would allow the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness thereunder, the effect of which would be to likewise cause all of the company's Senior Notes to be in default. The explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion also references the audit opinion-related event of default under various borrowing arrangements as an uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the company's failure to receive an audit opinion with no modifications from the company's independent certified public accountants, and because the waivers are for a limited period that is less than one year, all of the company's indebtedness has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet since March 31, 2016.

As previously reported, the company obtained limited waivers from the necessary lenders which waived the unqualified audit opinion requirement and/or waived the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement until October 21, 2016.  Prior to the October 21, 2016 expiry of such limited waivers, the company obtained limited waivers from the necessary lenders and noteholders which extend the waiver of the unqualified audit opinion requirement and/or waive the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement until November 11, 2016.

The company continues to engage in discussions with its principal lenders and noteholders to amend the company's various debt arrangements in advance of the expiration of the waivers on November 11, 2016.  In its October 21, 2016 press release announcing the most recent extension, the company reported that recent industry data, including data regarding projected levels of offshore drilling activity, a primary driver of activity within the offshore service vessel industry, had led the company to conclude that important debt terms will require further negotiation.  Such negotiations, if successfully concluded, would require the company to make certain concessions under the existing agreements, such as providing collateral to secure the Bank Loan Agreement, the Troms Offshore Debt and the Senior Notes, repaying a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Bank Loan Agreement, accepting a reduction in total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, paying a higher rate of interest, issuing some form of equity or equity linked compensation enhancement, paying down a portion of the Troms Offshore Debt and/or Senior Notes, or some combination of the above. In addition, such amendments will need to address the audit opinion requirement of the Bank Loan Agreement and the Troms Offshore Debt (the waiver of which has been extended until November 11, 2016). Obtaining the covenant relief will require the company to reach an agreement that satisfies potentially divergent interests of its principal lenders and noteholders.

The company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2016 were prepared assuming the company would continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Note (A): At the beginning of fiscal 2017 the company's operations in the Mediterranean Sea (based in Egypt) were transitioned from the company's previously disclosed Middle East/North Africa operations and included with the company's previously disclosed Sub-Saharan Africa/Europe operations as a result of management realignments. As such, the company now discloses these new segments as Middle East and Africa/Europe, respectively. The company's Americas and Asia/Pacific segments are not affected by this change. The new segment alignment is consistent with how the company's chief operating decision maker reviews operating results for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. Fiscal 2016 amounts have been recast to conform to the new segment alignment.

Note (B): The following table reconciles vessel operating margin as presented above to operating profit (loss) for the quarters and six-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2016:
