HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SMHI) (the "Company” or "SEACOR Marine”), a leading provider of marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
SEACOR Marine's consolidated operating revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $68.9 million, operating loss was $6.5 million, and direct vessel profit ("DVP”)(1) was $16.0 million. This compares to consolidated operating revenues of $76.9 million, operating income of $9.8 million, and DVP of $36.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, and consolidated operating revenues of $69.9 million, operating loss of $3.9 million, and DVP of $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Notable third quarter items include:
- 10.4% decrease in revenues from the third quarter of 2023 and a 1.4% decrease from the second quarter of 2024.
- Average day rates of $18,879, a 4.6% increase from the third quarter of 2023, and a 1.4% decrease from the second quarter of 2024.
- 67% utilization, a decrease from 73% in the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease from 69% in the second quarter of 2024.
- DVP margin of 23.2%, a decrease from 47.8% in the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease from 29.1% in the second quarter of 2024, due in part to $8.3 million of drydocking and major repairs during the quarter compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, all of which are expensed as incurred.
Chief Executive Officer John Gellert commented:
"The third quarter results reflect overall lower utilization driven by our heavy 2024 maintenance schedule and softer than expected demand during the quarter, particularly in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea markets. While we made progress in remarketing and repositioning our available tonnage, these efforts reduced the utilization of these vessels during the quarter. Our utilization figures were also affected by continuing work on drydockings and major repairs, some of which experienced additional delays as a result of ongoing shipyard and vendor capacity issues. We continue to see challenges as shipyards and other vendors expand their support teams, expertise and production capacity to respond to demand growth. In addition to lower utilization, these results also reflect higher operating expenses, driven mostly by 9.9% higher crewing costs and 30.0% higher maintenance costs relative to the year to date third quarter of 2023, both of which we attribute primarily to increased industry demand and vendor capacity constraints. Nevertheless, our average day rates held steady and we continued to add charters that will contribute improvements to our utilization, with contracted revenue backlog, including options, in excess of $360.0 million.
In the near term, one of our premium liftboats located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico will return to work in early November after being in the shipyard for maintenance since April. We are also seeing a stronger volume of inquiries for decommissioning work for our liftboats in the 2025-2026 timeframe, which is coming from both the U.S. Gulf of Mexico as well as international markets. We own one of the youngest and most fuel efficient and versatile fleets of offshore vessels in the world. Although demand for our services remains highly correlated to the underlying commodity prices, which have been very volatile during 2024, we are well positioned to capture attractive opportunities servicing offshore energy.”

| (1) | Direct vessel profit (defined as operating revenues less operating costs and expenses, "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 lease vessels). DVP is also useful when comparing the Company's global fleet performance against those of our competitors who may have differing fleet financing structures. DVP has material limitations as an analytical tool in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the ownership and operation of our fleet, and it should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP. See page 4 for reconciliation of DVP to GAAP Operating Income (Loss), its most comparable GAAP measure. |
