• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $53.5 million;

• Consolidated Operating Income was $22.9 million; and

• Cash position decreased by $69.6 million, from $438 million to $368 million.

As of June 30, 2022:

• Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) fleet count was 250, Q2 utilization was 64%, and Q2 average revenue per day on hire was $8,278; and

• Manufactured Products backlog was $335 million.

Revised guidance for 2022:

• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is forecast in the range of $210 million to $240 million; and

• Free cash flow generation is forecast in the range of $25 million to $75 million.

Roderick A. Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering, stated, "I am pleased to confirm that the resurgence of offshore activity we anticipated to start in the second quarter of 2022 is materializing and beginning to be reflected in our results. Specifically, our Subsea Robotics (SSR) and Offshore Project Group (OPG) segments generated some of the highest levels of revenue and the highest operating incomes seen since the beginning of 2018, the earliest period restated to reflect our 2020 segment realignment. Our first half 2022 financial performance unfolded slightly below our expectations due to challenges in hiring offshore personnel, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), resulting in some delayed projects and missed opportunities. In addition, the Continuing Resolution earlier in the year continues to negatively impact revenue mix and timing in our Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech) segment. We see strong market dynamics supporting robust activity in our offshore markets during the second half of 2022 to be partially muted by timing uncertainties within our ADTech segment. Given our first half results and latest expectations for the second half of 2022, we are updating our adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $210 million to $240 million for the full year.

“Our second quarter 2022 results increased significantly compared to the first quarter of 2022, as we produced adjusted EBITDA of $53.5 million, which was within the guidance range provided at the beginning of the quarter. The resurgence in seasonal offshore demand led to significantly increased results from our SSR and OPG segments, which was only partially offset by the lower results from our Manufactured Products and ADTech segments. During the quarter, our cash balance declined by $69.6 million, largely due to an increase in receivables. We are concerned to see our customers extending payment terms and are actively working with them to improve this situation. We continue to expect positive free cash flow generation for 2022 but are revising our guidance range to $25 million to $75 million for the full year.

Segment Results

“Sequentially, SSR revenue and operating income both increased significantly as expected, with healthy levels of seasonal activity for ROV, survey, and tooling services. SSR EBITDA margin of 28% improved as compared to the first quarter of 2022, with the increased activity aligning with the additional costs incurred during the first quarter. We also started to realize recent pricing improvements.

"Second quarter 2022 ROV days on hire were sequentially higher for both drill support and vessel-based services. Fleet utilization rose significantly, averaging 64% for the quarter as compared to 53% during the first quarter. Our fleet use was 57% for the quarter in drill support and 43% in vessel-based activity as compared to 63% and 37%, respectively, during the first quarter. Average ROV revenue per day on hire of $8,278 for the quarter was 1% higher than the first quarter of 2022.

"Manufactured Products had a second quarter 2022 operating loss of $1.4 million on higher revenue compared to the first quarter of 2022. Revenue increased primarily due to the receipt of certain umbilical materials that did not contribute to current quarter manufacturing activity. Operating results sequentially declined due primarily to less profitable work being executed in our mobility solutions businesses. Our Manufactured Products backlog on June 30, 2022 remained flat at $335 million, compared to our March 31, 2022 backlog of $334 million. Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 1.25 for the trailing 12 months.

"Second quarter 2022 OPG revenue and operating income increased significantly compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of increased inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) and installation work in the GoM. The sequential operating income margin increase, from 1% in the first quarter of 2022 to 15% in the second quarter of 2022, reflected increased demand and significantly improved pricing for vessel-based services in the GoM.

"Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (IMDS) sequential operating income was essentially flat on a 5% increase in revenue. Higher seasonal activity contributed to the revenue increase. Operating income margin of 6% was the same as recorded for the first quarter of 2022.

"ADTech second quarter 2022 operating income declined from the first quarter of 2022 on a 5% increase in revenue. Operating income margin of 10% declined more than expected from the 15% margin achieved in the first quarter of 2022, due to changes in revenue mix and delays in certain projects where we incurred pre-contract costs. At the corporate level for the second quarter of 2022, Unallocated Expenses of $31.7 million were relatively flat as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Third Quarter Outlook

"For the third quarter, compared to the second quarter, we anticipate increased revenue and operating results in our SSR and OPG segments on continuing high levels of offshore activity. Operating income margin for Manufactured Products is projected to recover to the low-single digit range on a modest decrease in revenue. IMDS revenue is forecast to increase modestly with a slight improvement in operating income margin. We expect relatively flat operating income for ADTech on a slight improvement in revenue. Unallocated Expenses are forecast to be in the low- to mid- $30 million range. On a consolidated basis, we expect a sequential increase in third quarter 2022 results, with Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $60 million to $70 million on increased revenue.

Full Year 2022 Guidance

"For the full year of 2022, at the segment level compared to 2021, we forecast SSR operating results to improve on higher revenue, and EBITDA margin to average in the high 20% range. ROV fleet utilization is expected to be in the mid-60% range for the year. For Manufactured Products, we forecast higher operating results on a significant increase in revenue compared to 2021, with backlog additions from 2021 resulting in significantly higher revenue in the second half of this year. We expect operating margin to be in the low- to mid-single-digit range and our book-to-bill ratio to be in the range of 1.0 to 1.2 for the full year. Quotation activity is robust within our energy businesses and interest is increasing in our mobility solutions businesses. For OPG, we expect higher activity to continue for the remainder of the year, especially for installation and IMR activity in the GoM. We expect continued higher vessel utilization and pricing to sustain operating margins in the mid-teens range for the remainder of the year. For IMDS, we forecast lower operating results on higher revenue, with operating margin to decline slightly as compared to 2021. And for ADTech, we expect lower operating results on relatively flat revenue, with operating income margin improving in the fourth quarter of 2022. Unallocated Expenses are expected to average in the low- to mid-$30 million range per quarter for the remainder of 2022.

Cash and Liquidity

"As previously announced, we entered into a new revolving credit facility in April 2022, which provides access to substantial liquidity through April of 2026. This new facility, when combined with our cash balance, gives us good flexibility both to grow our businesses and to address the maturity of our 2024 notes. We expect a meaningful reversal from cash consumption during the first half of 2022 to significant cash generation during the second half of the year and now expect to generate between $25 million and $75 million of free cash flow for the full year."

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP TO GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this Press Release also includes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under SEC Regulation G). We have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share, each of which excludes the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. As a result, these amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful measures for investors to review because they provide consistent measures of the underlying results of our ongoing business. Furthermore, our management uses these measures as measures of the performance of our operations. We have also included disclosures of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA Margins, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA Estimates, and Free Cash Flow, as well as the following by segment: Adjusted Operating Income and Margins, EBITDA, EBITDA Margins, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins. We define EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins as well as Adjusted Operating Income and Margin and related information by segment exclude the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. EBITDA and EBITDA Margins, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins, and Adjusted Operating Income and Margin and related information by segment are each non-GAAP financial measures. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by operating activities less organic capital expenditures ( i.e ., purchases of property and equipment other than those in business acquisitions). We have included these disclosures in this press release because EBITDA, EBITDA Margins and Free Cash Flow are widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other companies in our industry, and the adjusted amounts thereof (as well as Adjusted Operating Income and Margin by Segment) provide more consistent measures than the unadjusted amounts. Furthermore, our management uses these measures for purposes of evaluating our financial performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, EBITDA Margins and Free Cash Flow (and the Adjusted amounts thereof) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as substitutes for our reported operating results, cash flows or any other measure prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. The tables that follow provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
