Nature of Operations

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Gulf Island,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading fabricator of complex steel structures and modules and provider of project management, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance and civil construction services. Our customers include U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers; refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial and power operators; and EPC companies. We currently operate and manage our business through two operating divisions (“Fabrication & Services” and “Shipyard”) and one non-operating division (“Corporate”), which represent our reportable segments. Our corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas and our operating facilities are located in Houma, Louisiana. On April 19, 2021, we sold our Shipyard Division operating assets and certain construction contracts (“Shipyard Transaction”) and intend to wind down our remaining Shipyard Division operations by mid-2022.  See “Basis of Presentation” below and Note 3 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) reflect all wholly owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and related footnotes included in our 2020 Annual Report.

We determined the Shipyard Division assets, liabilities and operations associated with the Shipyard Transaction, and associated with certain previously closed Shipyard Division facilities, to be discontinued operations in the second quarter 2021. Accordingly, such assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, have been classified as discontinued operations on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (“Balance Sheet”) and Consolidated Statement of Operations (“Statement of Operations”), respectively. Our classification of these operations as discontinued requires retrospective application to financial information for all prior periods presented.  Therefore, such assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, have been recast and classified as discontinued operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations, respectively.  Discontinued operations are not presented separately on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (“Statement of Cash Flows”).  Unless otherwise noted, the amounts presented throughout the notes to our Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations.  See Note 3 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction and our discontinued operations.

Operating Cycle

The duration of our contracts vary but typically extend beyond twelve months from the date of contract award. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities have been classified as current under the operating cycle concept whereby all contract-related items are classified as current regardless of whether cash will be received or paid within a twelve-month period. Assets and liabilities classified as current, which may not be received or paid within the next twelve months, include contract retainage, contract assets and contract liabilities. Variations from normal contract terms may result in the classification of assets and liabilities as long-term.

Use of Estimates

General – The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  We believe our most significant estimates and judgments are associated with:

If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which our Financial Statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ materially from those included in the Financial Statements.

Volatile Oil Prices and COVID-19 – For the last several years, the price of oil has been at depressed levels and/or experienced significant volatility, resulting in a significant and sustained reduction in capital spending and drilling activities from our traditional offshore oil and gas customer base.  Consequently, our operating results and cash flows have been negatively impacted as we experienced reductions in revenue, lower margins due to competitive pricing, significant under-utilization of our operating facilities and resources and losses on certain projects. Additionally, COVID-19 has added another layer of pressure and uncertainty on oil prices and our end markets, which has further impacted our operations. COVID-19 (including its new and emerging strains and variants) is a widespread public health crisis that continues to adversely affect global economies and financial markets.

During 2020, our operations (as well as the operations of our customers, subcontractors and other counterparties) were negatively impacted by the physical distancing, quarantine and isolation measures recommended by national, state and local authorities on large portions of the population, and mandatory business closures that were enacted in an attempt to control COVID-19. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and recognize that it could continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations during the remainder of 2021 and beyond. Even with widespread distribution of vaccines, hesitancy or resistance to the vaccines among certain groups, as well as uncertainty about their long-term efficacy or effectiveness against new COVID-19 strains and variants, remain. The extent to which our operations and financial performance will be impacted by COVID-19 during the remainder of 2021 will depend largely on future developments, including global availability and acceptance of the vaccines. Authorities in some areas of the U.S. have begun to relax COVID-19 restrictions; however, if the areas where we have our headquarters and operating facilities, or areas where our customers, subcontractors and other counterparties have operations, were to experience periods of resurgence in the numbers of cases of the virus, including through the spread of new, more contagious or deadly strains and variants of the virus, authorities may reinstate restrictions, quarantine and isolation measures. The measures taken, while intended to protect human life, have had and are expected to continue to have a serious adverse impact on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. 

The continued level of uncertainty means the ultimate business and financial impacts of COVID-19 and volatility in oil prices cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but have included, or may include, among other things, reduced bidding activity, suspension or termination of backlog, deterioration of customer financial condition, potential supply disruptions and unanticipated project costs due to project disruptions and schedule delays, lower labor productivity, increased employee and contractor absenteeism and turnover, craft labor hiring challenges, lack of performance by subcontractors and suppliers, and contract disputes. Management’s estimates in future periods will be revised for any events and changes in circumstances arising after the date of this Report for the impacts of COVID-19 and volatile oil prices.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive securities.  See Note 7 for calculations of our basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments

Cash Equivalents – We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash – At June 30, 2021, we had $10.0 million of restricted cash as security for letters of credit issued under our letter of credit facility (“LC Facility”) with Hancock Whitney Bank (“Whitney Bank”). In July 2021, $7.0 million of outstanding letters of credit expired and the associated cash restriction was released. Our restricted cash is held in an interest-bearing money market account with Whitney Bank. The classification of the restricted cash as current and noncurrent is determined by the contractual maturity dates of the letters of credit being secured, with letters of credit having maturity dates of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date classified as current, and letters of credit having maturity dates of longer than twelve months from the balance sheet date classified as noncurrent. We had no restricted cash at December 31, 2020. See Note 5 for further discussion of our cash security requirements under our LC Facility.  

Short-Term Investments – We consider investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than twelve months to be short-term investments. We had no short-term investments at June 30, 2021. At December 31, 2020, our short-term investments included U.S. Treasuries with original maturities of less than six months that were held until their maturity.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the first-in-first-out basis.  The cost of inventory includes acquisition costs, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred to bring the inventory to a current location and condition.  Net realizable value is our estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  An allowance for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based on an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, estimates of future sales and salvage value.  

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers on a short-term basis and contract receivables are generally not collateralized; however, we typically have the right to place liens on our projects in the event of nonpayment by our customers. We routinely review individual contract receivable balances for collectability and make provisions for probable uncollectible amounts as necessary. Among the factors considered in our review are the financial condition of our customer and its access to financing, underlying disputes with the customer, the age and value of the receivable balance, and economic conditions in general. See Note 2 for further discussion of our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Awards under our stock-based compensation plans are calculated using a fair value-based measurement method. We use the straight-line method to recognize share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award.  We recognize the excess tax benefit or tax deficiency resulting from the difference between the deduction we receive for tax purposes and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize for financial reporting purposes created when common stock vests, as an income tax benefit or expense on our Statement of Operations.  

Tax payments made on behalf of employees to taxing authorities in order to satisfy employee income tax withholding obligations from the vesting of shares under our stock-based compensation plans are classified as a financing activity on our Statement of Cash Flows.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. See Note 4 for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Depreciation Expense

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 25 years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the physical or economic lives of the plant or equipment, are charged to expense as incurred.

- 7 -

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and our lease assets included within other noncurrent assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If a recoverability assessment is required, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if an impairment exists. An asset group constitutes the minimum level for which identifiable cash flows are principally independent of the cash flows of other assets or asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount and the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or third-party indications of value, as appropriate. See Note 3 for further discussion of our long-lived asset impairments within our discontinued operations.

Leases

We record a right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease liability on our Balance Sheet equal to the present value of our lease payments for leases with an original term of longer than twelve months. We do not record an asset or liability for leases with an original term of twelve months or less and we do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases. Our lease assets are reflected within other noncurrent assets, and the current and noncurrent portions of our lease liabilities are reflected within accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on our Balance Sheet. For leases with escalations over the life of the lease, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value determinations for financial assets and liabilities are based on the particular facts and circumstances. Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three levels of the valuation hierarchy are as follows:

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. Our fair value assessments for determining impairments of inventory, long-lived assets and assets held for sale are non-recurring fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 4 for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

General – Our revenue is derived from customer contracts and agreements that are awarded on a competitively bid and negotiated basis using a range of contracting options, including fixed-price, unit-rate and T&M.  Our contracts primarily relate to the fabrication and construction of steel structures, modules and marine vessels, and project management services and other service arrangements. We recognize revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”).  

Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, provisions of Topic 606 specify which goods and services are distinct and represent separate performance obligations (representing the unit of account in Topic 606) within a contract and which goods and services (which could include multiple contracts or agreements) should be aggregated. In general, a performance obligation is a contractual obligation to construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized as the work progresses. Revenue for performance obligations that do not meet the criteria for over time recognition are recognized at a point-in-time when a performance obligation is complete and a customer has obtained control of a promised asset.

Fixed-Price and Unit-Rate Contracts – Revenue for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs (an input method).  Contract costs include direct costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs attributable to contract activity.  Material costs that are significant to

- 8 -

a contract and do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion are excluded from the determination of our contract progress. Revenue for such materials is only recognized to the extent of costs incurred.  Revenue and gross profit for contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method can be significantly affected by changes in estimated cost to complete such contracts. Significant estimates impacting the cost to complete a contract include: forecast costs of engineering, materials, equipment and subcontracts; forecast costs of labor and labor productivity; schedule durations, including subcontractor and supplier progress; contract disputes, including claims; achievement of contractual performance requirements; and contingency, among others.  Although our customers retain the right and ability to change, modify or discontinue further work at any stage of a contract, in the event our customers discontinue work, they are required to compensate us for the work performed to date.  The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known, including, to the extent required, the reversal of profit recognized in prior periods and the recognition of losses expected to be incurred on contracts. Due to the various estimates inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from those estimates, which could result in material changes to our Financial Statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 for further discussion of projects with significant changes in estimated margins during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

T&M Contracts – Revenue for our T&M contracts is recognized at contracted rates when the work is performed, the costs are incurred and collection is reasonably assured. Our T&M contracts provide for labor and materials to be billed at rates specified within the contract. The consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value of our performance completed at the time of invoicing.

Variable Consideration – Revenue and gross profit for contracts can be significantly affected by variable consideration, which can be in the form of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages that may not be resolved until the later stages of the contract or after the contract has been completed. We estimate variable consideration based on the amount we expect to be entitled and include estimated amounts in transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when we conclude that any significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. See Note 2 for further discussion of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages for our projects.  

Additional Disclosures – Topic 606 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. See Note 2 for required disclosures under Topic 606.

Pre-Contract Costs

Pre-contract costs are generally charged to cost of revenue as incurred, but in certain cases their recognition may be deferred if specific probability criteria are met. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no deferred pre-contract costs.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net, generally represents recoveries or provisions for bad debts, gains or losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment other than assets held for sale, and income or expense associated with certain nonrecurring items.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, other (income) expense also included a gain of $10.0 million associated with the settlement of a contract dispute in the first quarter 2020 for a project completed in 2015.

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Due to state income tax laws related to the apportionment of revenue for our projects, judgment is required to estimate the effective tax rate expected to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future.

A valuation allowance is provided to reserve for deferred tax assets (“DTA(s)”) if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the DTAs will not be realized. The realization of our DTAs depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate differs from our statutory rate as no federal benefit was recorded for losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and three months ended June 30, 2020, as a full valuation allowance was recorded against our federal deferred tax assets generated during the periods, and as no federal expense was recorded for income during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as it was fully offset by the reversal of valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. Income taxes recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 represent state income taxes.

Reserves for uncertain tax positions are recognized when we consider it more likely than not that additional tax will be due in excess of amounts reflected in our income tax returns, irrespective of whether or not we have received tax assessments.  Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are recorded within income tax expense.  

- 9 -

New Accounting Standards

Income taxes – During the first quarter 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enacted tax laws or rate changes. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

Financial instruments – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, short-term investments, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, we have not elected to early adopt the standard. The new standard is required to be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

As discussed in Note 1, we recognize revenue from our contracts in accordance with Topic 606.  Summarized below are required disclosures under Topic 606 and other relevant guidance.

Future Performance Obligations Required Under Contracts

The following table summarizes our remaining performance obligations by operating segment at June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

Contracts Assets and Liabilities

Revenue recognition and customer invoicing for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts may occur at different times. Revenue recognition is based upon our estimated percentage-of-completion as discussed in Note 1; however, customer invoicing is generally dependent upon contractual billing terms, which could provide for customer payments in advance of performing the work, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is reflected as contract assets on our Balance Sheet. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized, and accrued contract losses, are reflected as contract liabilities on our Balance Sheet. Information with respect to contracts that were incomplete at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows (in thousands):

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our provision for bad debts is included in other (income) expense, net on our Statement of Operations.  Our provision for bad debts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and our allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were not significant.

Variable Consideration

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims or incentives. However, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, certain projects reflected a reduction to our estimated contract price for liquidated damages of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  

Changes in Project Estimates

We determine the impact of changes in estimated margins on projects for a given period by calculating the amount of revenue recognized in the period that would have been recognized in a prior period had such estimated margins been forecasted in the prior period.  The total impact of changes in estimated margins for a project as disclosed on a quarterly basis may be different from the applicable year-to-date impact due to the application of the percentage-of-completion method and the changing progress of the project at each period end.  Such impacts may also be different when a project is commenced and completed within the applicable year-to-date period but spans multiple quarters.

- 11 -

Changes in Estimates for 2021 – For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, significant changes in estimated margins on projects positively impacted operating results for our Fabrication & Services Division by $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and negatively impacted operating results for our Shipyard Division by $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  The changes in estimates were associated with the following:

Shipyard Transaction 

Transaction Summary – On April 19, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we sold the operating assets and certain construction contracts of our Shipyard Division (“Shipyard Transaction”) to Bollinger Houma Shipyards, L.L.C. and Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C. (collectively, “Bollinger”) for approximately $28.6 million (“Transaction Price”) ($26.1 million, net of transaction and other costs).  We received $26.4 million of the Transaction Price on the Closing Date and the remaining $2.2 million (“Deferred Transaction Price”) will be received upon Bollinger’s collection of certain customer payments associated with the Divested Shipyard Contracts (defined below), which is anticipated to occur by the first quarter 2022. The $2.2 million receivable associated with the Deferred Transaction Price has been reflected within prepaid expenses and other assets on our Balance Sheet at June 30, 2021.

We also received $8.0 million from Bollinger on the Closing Date, representing an estimate of the change in working capital for the Divested Shipyard Contracts from December 31, 2020 through the Closing Date (the “Closing Adjustment”). The Closing Adjustment was subject to a post-closing reconciliation and true-up (the “Closing Adjustment True-Up”) based on actual changes in working capital for the Divested Shipyard Contracts from December 31, 2020 through the Closing Date compared to the Closing Adjustment. Actual changes in working capital for the Divested Shipyard Contracts from December 31, 2020 through the Closing Date totaled approximately $7.8 million ($3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 prior to the Closing Date). Accordingly, $0.2 million of the Closing Adjustment was returned to Bollinger during the three months ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the Closing Adjustment True-Up.

Included in the Shipyard Transaction were the Shipyard Division’s:

Bollinger offered employment to most of the employees of our Shipyard Division associated with the Acquired Shipyard Contracts.

Excluded from the Shipyard Transaction were the Shipyard Division’s:

We retained those employees of our Shipyard Division associated with the Retained Shipyard Contracts.

In connection with the Shipyard Transaction, we recorded a total pre-tax loss of $25.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which $23.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the impairment of our Shipyard Division’s long-lived assets (discussed further below) and transaction costs, and $1.9 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to transaction and other costs associated with the Shipyard Transaction.

At June 30, 2021, the net liabilities on our Balance Sheet associated with the Retained Shipyard Contracts and other retained Shipyard Division operations totaled $11.9 million. The wind down of the Shipyard Division operations is anticipated to occur by mid-2022.  

- 13 -

Impairment – During the first quarter 2021, events and changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of our Shipyard Division’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances were primarily attributable to a reassessment of our asset groups within our Shipyard Division as well as revisions to our probability assessment of net future cash flows of the applicable asset group based on the likelihood, that existed as of March 31, 2021, of the Shipyard Transaction occurring. Based on these assessments, we determined that an impairment of our Shipyard Division’s property, plant and equipment had occurred during the first quarter 2021.  We measured the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the applicable asset group at March 31, 2021 to an estimate of its fair value (which represents a Level 3 fair value measurement), resulting in an impairment charge of $22.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We based our fair value estimate on the Transaction Price inclusive of the Closing Adjustment and an estimate of the Closing Adjustment True-Up, associated with the Shipyard Transaction.

Discontinued Operations

The Shipyard Transaction (which included, among other things, our owned Shipyard Facility, Divested Shipyard Contracts and drydocks), and the previously disclosed fourth quarter 2020 closures of our leased Lake Charles Facility and Jennings Facility, represented the disposal and closure of a substantial portion of our Shipyard Division operations and the culmination of a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our ongoing operations and financial results. Therefore, we determined the assets, liabilities and operations associated with the Shipyard Transaction, and associated with the previously closed facilities, to be discontinued operations in the second quarter 2021. Accordingly, such assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, have been classified as discontinued operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations, respectively. Our classification of these operations as discontinued requires retrospective application to financial information for all prior periods presented.  Therefore, such assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, have been recast and classified as discontinued operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations, respectively. We are completing construction of the Retained Shipyard Contracts within our F&S Facility and are winding down our Shipyard Division operations, which is anticipated to occur by mid-2022.  The assets, liabilities and operating results attributable to the Retained Shipyard Contracts and remaining assets and liabilities of our Shipyard Division operations that were excluded from the Shipyard Transaction, and are not associated with the previously closed facilities, represent our Shipyard Segment and are classified as continuing operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations.  Discontinued operations are presented separately from continuing operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations; however, they are not presented separately on our Statement of Cash Flows.  

Statement of Operations – A summary of the operating results constituting the loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

As a result of the Shipyard Transaction and classification of certain Shipyard Division operations as discontinued operations, certain allocations that were previously reflected within our Shipyard Division have been reclassified to our Corporate Division and Fabrication & Services Division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.  Further, legal costs associated with our MPSV dispute that were previously reflected within our Corporate Division have been reclassified to our Shipyard Division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 8 for a summary of the reclassifications to our previously reported segment results and Note 6 for further discussion of our MPSV dispute.

Assets and Liabilities – A summary of the carrying values of the major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flows – A summary of the cash flows of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

Changes in Project Estimates – For the six months ended June 30, 2021, significant changes in estimated margins on projects positively impacted operating results of our discontinued operations by $8.4 million.  The impacts occurred during the first quarter 2021 and were associated with our towing, salvage and rescue ship projects, resulting from increased contract price primarily associated with an approved change order ($9.2 million impact), offset partially by increased forecast costs primarily associated with increased craft labor costs ($0.8 million impact). There were no significant changes in estimated margins on projects for our discontinued operations during the second quarter 2021.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, significant changes in estimated margins on projects negatively impacted operating results of our discontinued operations by $0.6 million.  The impacts were associated with our final two harbor tug projects in our Jennings Facility, resulting from increased forecast costs primarily associated with increased craft labor and subcontracted services costs and extensions of schedule.  

Other – Other (income) expense, net includes a gain of $0.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting from insurance recoveries associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Laura to a drydock that was sold in connection with the Shipyard Transaction.

At June 30, 2021, our assets held for sale consisted of one crawler crane within our Fabrication & Services Division.  A summary of our assets held for sale at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received proceeds of $4.5 million ($4.4 million, net of transaction and other costs) from the sale of two crawler cranes that were held for sale by our Fabrication & Services Division at December 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $1.1 million from the sale of other assets held for sale. No significant gain or loss was recognized on the assets sold as the net proceeds received approximated the carrying values of the assets. See Note 3 for discussion of impairments associated with our discontinued operations.

LC Facility

We have a letter of credit facility with Whitney Bank that provides for up to 20.0 million of letters of credit (“LC Facility”), subject to our cash securitization of the letters of credit, with a maturity date of June 30, 2023. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the LC Facility are 0.4% per annum and interest on outstanding letters of credit is 2.0% per annum. At June 30, 2021, we had $10.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility, of which $7.0 million expired in July 2021 and the associated cash restriction was released.

Loan Agreement

On April 17, 2020, we entered into an unsecured loan in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million (“PPP Loan”) with Whitney Bank pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended (“CARES Act”).  The PPP Loan, and accrued interest, were eligible to be forgiven partially or in full, if certain conditions were met.  On September 29, 2020, we submitted our application to Whitney Bank, requesting PPP Loan forgiveness of $8.9 million plus any accrued interest.  Whitney Bank approved our application for forgiveness on December 14, 2020, and our application was forwarded to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for review. Following the SBA’s approval of our application for forgiveness, on July 28, 2021, Whitney Bank received $9.1 million from the SBA, which was the amount of loan forgiveness requested, including accrued interest. On July 29, 2021, we repaid Whitney Bank the remaining balance of the PPP Loan, together with accrued interest.  The forgiveness and repayment of the PPP Loan were effective as of July 7, 2021.  

Given the PPP Loan was not forgiven as of June 30, 2021, we have recorded the full amount as debt on our Balance Sheet at June 30, 2021, with the current and noncurrent debt classification based upon the actual amounts repaid and forgiven in July 2021.  At December 31, 2020, the current and noncurrent debt classification was based on the terms and conditions of the PPP Loan and in accordance with the PPP, as amended, and timing of required repayment absent any loan forgiveness. The gain from the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and accrued interest will be reflected in the third quarter 2021.

Because the amount borrowed exceeded $2.0 million, we are required by the SBA to retain all records relating to the PPP Loan for six years from the date the loan was forgiven and permit authorized representatives of the SBA to access such records upon request.  While we believe we are a qualifying business and have met the eligibility requirements for the PPP Loan, and believe we have used the loan proceeds only for expenses which may be paid using proceeds from the PPP Loan (“Permissible Expenses”), we can provide no assurances that any potential SBA review or audit will verify the amount forgiven, in whole or in part, and we could be required to repay all or part of the forgiven amount.       

Surety Bonds

We issue surety bonds in the ordinary course of business to support our projects.  At June 30, 2021, we had $110.8 million of outstanding surety bonds, of which $50.0 million relates to our MPSV projects that are subject to dispute.  See Note 6 for further discussion of our MPSV dispute.

Mortgage Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement

On April 19, 2021, and in connection with the receipt of a consent for the Shipyard Transaction from one of our Sureties, we entered into a multiple indebtedness mortgage (the “Mortgage Agreement”) and a restrictive covenant arrangement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) with such Surety to secure our obligations and liabilities under our general indemnity agreement with the Surety associated with its outstanding surety bond obligations for our MPSV projects and two seventy-vehicle ferry projects.  The Mortgage Agreement encumbers all remaining real estate that was not sold in connection with the Shipyard Transaction and includes certain covenants and events of default.  Further, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement precludes us from making dividends or repurchasing shares of our common stock. The Mortgage Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement will terminate when the obligations and liabilities of the Surety associated with the outstanding surety bonds are discharged, or any judgment against us or the Surety arising out of litigation related to such contracts is satisfied by us.  

We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of our business, primarily involving commercial disputes and claims, workers’ compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under general maritime laws of the U.S. and the Jones Act. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

MPSV Termination Letter

During the first quarter 2018, we received notices of termination from our customer of the contracts for the construction of two MPSVs within our Shipyard Division.  We dispute the purported terminations and disagree with the customer’s reasons for such terminations. We have ceased all work and the partially completed vessels and associated equipment and materials remain in our possession in Houma, Louisiana. The customer also made claims under the performance bonds issued by the Surety in connection with the construction of the vessels, which total $50.0 million.  

On October 2, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against our customer to enforce our rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts for the two MPSVs. The lawsuit was filed in the Twenty-Second Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany, State of Louisiana and is styled Gulf Island Shipyards, LLC v. Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC. The customer responded to our lawsuit denying many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asserting a counterclaim against us. We filed a response to the counterclaim denying all of the customer’s claims. The customer subsequently filed an amendment to its counterclaim to add claims by the customer against the Surety. The customer also filed a motion for partial summary judgment with the trial court seeking, among other things, to obtain possession of the vessels, which was denied by the trial court. The customer subsequently filed a second motion for partial summary judgment re-urging its previously denied request to obtain possession of the vessels, which was again denied by the trial court. Thereafter, the customer requested that the appellate court exercise its discretion and review and reverse the trial court’s denial of the customer’s second motion, which was denied.

On May 19, 2020, the customer filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The customer’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization was subsequently confirmed by the bankruptcy court and that plan of reorganization is effective. In connection with its bankruptcy case, on June 3, 2020, the customer filed a separate bankruptcy adversary proceeding against us, in which it again sought to obtain possession of the vessels; however, the bankruptcy court’s decision was ultimately delayed to allow the parties an opportunity to mediate the dispute. The parties engaged in mediation until January 26, 2021 when the customer unilaterally and voluntarily dismissed its adversary proceeding seeking possession of the vessels. The mediation between the parties was not successful.

The lawsuit was temporarily stayed during the pendency of the customer’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case; however, the lawsuit is no longer stayed and will proceed in the ordinary course. Discovery in connection with the lawsuit is ongoing, and the trial of the case is tentatively scheduled to begin on March 6, 2023. Other trial related deadlines have been tentatively established as well. We are conferring with the Surety regarding the lawsuit.

We are unable to estimate the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome with respect to the dispute or estimate the amount of potential loss, if any, related to this matter. We can provide no assurances that we will not incur additional costs as we pursue our rights and remedies under the contracts and defend against the customer’s claims. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included a net contract asset of $12.5 million, which consisted of our contract asset, accrued contract losses, and deferred revenue balances at the time of the customer's purported terminations of the contracts. We continue to hold first priority security interests and liens against the vessels that secure the obligations owed to us by the customer.

Insurance

We may be exposed to future losses through our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to third party liability and workers' compensation.  We expect liabilities in excess of any deductibles and self-insured retentions to be covered by insurance.  To the extent we are self-insured, reserves are recorded based upon our estimates, with input from legal and insurance advisors.  Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change.  

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We obtain letters of credit under our LC Facility or surety bonds from financial institutions to provide to our customers in order to secure advance payments or guarantee performance under our contracts, or in lieu of retention being withheld on our contracts.  Letters of credit under our LC Facility are subject to cash securitization of the full amount of the outstanding letters of credit. In the event of non-performance under a contract, our cash securitization with respect to the letter of credit supporting such contract would become property of Whitney Bank. With respect to a surety bond, any payment in the event of non-performance is subject to indemnification of the Surety by us.  When a contract is complete, the contingent obligation terminates, and letters of credit or surety bonds are returned.  See Note 5 for further discussion of our LC Facility and surety bonds.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws of other countries that establish health and environmental quality standards.  These standards, among others, relate to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes.  We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or wastes.  In connection with the historical operation of our facilities, including those associated with acquired operations, substances that currently are or might be considered hazardous were used or disposed of at some sites that will or may require us to make expenditures for remediation. We believe we are in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental laws and regulations and maintain insurance coverage to mitigate exposure to environmental liabilities.  We do not believe any environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share data):

__________________

(1)   We have no dilutive securities.

We currently operate and manage our business through two operating divisions (“Fabrication & Services” and “Shipyard”) and one non-operating division (“Corporate”), which represent our reportable segments. Our two operating divisions and Corporate Division are discussed below:  

Fabrication & Services Division – Our Fabrication & Services (“F&S”) Division fabricates modules, skids and piping systems for onshore refining, petrochemical, LNG and industrial facilities and offshore facilities; fabricates foundations, secondary steel components and support structures for alternative energy developments and coastal mooring facilities; fabricates offshore production platforms and associated structures, including jacket foundations, piles and topsides for fixed production and utility platforms, as well

- 18 -

as hulls and topsides for floating production and utility platforms; fabricates other complex steel structures and components; provides services on offshore platforms, including welding, interconnect piping and other services required to connect production equipment and service modules and equipment; provides on-site construction and maintenance services on inland platforms and structures and industrial facilities; and performs municipal and drainage projects, including pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works.  These activities are performed at our F&S Facility.

Shipyard Division – Prior to the Shipyard Transaction, our Shipyard Division fabricated newbuild marine vessels and provided marine repair and maintenance services. These activities were performed at our Shipyard Facility.  As discussed in Note 3, on April 19, 2021, we completed the Shipyard Transaction, which resulted in the sale of our Shipyard Facility and the Divested Shipyard Contracts. We determined the assets, liabilities and operations associated with the Shipyard Transaction and certain previously closed facilities to be discontinued operations in the second quarter 2021. The assets, liabilities and operating results attributable to the Retained Shipyard Contracts and remaining assets and liabilities of our Shipyard Division operations that were excluded from the Shipyard Transaction, and are not associated with the previously closed facilities, represent our Shipyard Segment and are classified as continuing operations on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations.   See Note 3 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction and our discontinued operations.        

Corporate Division – Our Corporate Division includes costs that do not directly relate to our two operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs of maintaining our corporate office, executive management salaries and incentives, board of directors' fees, certain insurance costs and costs associated with overall corporate governance and being a publicly traded company. Costs incurred by our Corporate Division on behalf of our operating divisions are allocated to the operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, human resources, insurance, information technology and accounting.      

Other – As a result of the Shipyard Transaction and classification of certain Shipyard Division operations as discontinued operations, certain allocations that were previously reflected within our Shipyard Division have been reclassified to our Corporate Division and Fabrication & Services Division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.  Further, legal costs associated with our MPSV dispute that were previously reflected within our Corporate Division have been reclassified to our Shipyard Division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction and our discontinued operations and Note 6 for further discussion of our MPSV dispute.  A summary of the reclassifications to our previously reported segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):
