NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2017, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, its comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, its changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 has not been audited by the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, which was declared effective on May 11, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”).
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR Marine” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. without its consolidated subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning given those terms in the Registration Statement.
SEACOR Marine was previously a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (along with its other majority owned subsidiaries collectively referred to as “SEACOR Holdings”), which had announced its intent to spin-off SEACOR Marine. The spin-off was completed on June 1, 2017 by way of a pro rata dividend of SEACOR Marine’s common stock, all of which was held by SEACOR Holdings, to SEACOR Holdings shareholders of record as of May 22, 2017 (the “Spin-off”). SEACOR Marine entered into a series of agreements with SEACOR Holdings, including a Distribution Agreement, two Transition Services Agreements, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement, which will govern SEACOR Marine’s relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the Spin-off. Upon completion of the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine began to operate as an independent, publicly traded company.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):
 
2017
 
2016
Balance at beginning of period
$
6,953

 
$
6,953

Revenues deferred during the period
1,536

 

Balance at end of period
$
8,489

 
$
6,953

As of March 31, 2017, deferred revenues of $6.8 million related to the time charter of several offshore support vessels paid through the conveyance of an overriding royalty interest (the “Conveyance”) in developmental oil and gas producing properties operated by a customer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Payments under the Conveyance, and the timing of such payments, were contingent upon production and energy sale prices. On August 17, 2012, the customer filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Company is vigorously defending its interest in connection with the bankruptcy filing; however, payments received under the Conveyance subsequent to May 19, 2012 are subject to creditors’ claims in bankruptcy court. The Company will recognize revenues when reasonably assured of a judgment in its favor. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.
As of March 31, 2017, deferred revenues of $1.5 million related to the time charter of an offshore support vessel to a customer for which collection was not reasonably assured. The Company will recognize revenues when collected or when collection is reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to this charter were recognized as incurred.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment. Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.
As of March 31, 2017, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Offshore Support Vessels:
 
Wind farm utility vessels
10
All other offshore support vessels (excluding wind farm utility)
20
Equipment maintenance and repair costs and the costs of routine overhauls, drydockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, capitalized interest totaled $1.3 million.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying values and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized no impairment charges related to long-lived assets held for use. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million related to long-lived assets held for use.
Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value, and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 29.9% was primarily due to losses of foreign subsidiaries not benefited. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 31.7% was primarily due to non-deductible expenses associated with the Company’s participation in SEACOR Holdings share award plans.

Deferred Gains. The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies, and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gain activity related to these transactions for the three months ended March 31 was as follows (in thousands):

Loss Per Share. Basic loss per common share of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted loss per common share of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the if-converted method that assumes all common shares have been issued and outstanding during the relevant periods pursuant to the conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 4,070,500 common shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes as the conversion feature was contingent upon the Spin-off.
New Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The core principal of the new standard is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company is in the advanced stages of determining the impact, if any, the adoption of the new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Principal versus agent considerations of the new standard with respect to the Company’s vessel management services and pooling arrangements may result in a gross presentation of operating revenues and expenses compared with its current net presentation for results from managed and pooled third party equipment.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new leasing standard, which improves transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which amends or clarifies guidance on classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows, including classification of proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, debt prepayments, debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments after a business combination. This new standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company

On October 24, 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Hedges. From time to time, the Company may designate certain of its foreign currency exchange contracts as fair value hedges in respect of capital commitments denominated in foreign currencies. By entering into these foreign currency exchange contracts, the Company may fix a portion of its capital commitments denominated in foreign currencies in U.S. dollars to protect against currency fluctuations. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had euro denominated forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $1.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized immaterial gains on these contracts which was included as a decrease to the corresponding hedged equipment included in construction in progress in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company and certain of its 50% or less owned companies have interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its 50% or less owned companies have converted the variable LIBOR or EURIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate. The Company recognized immaterial losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the interest rate swaps held by the Company and its 50% or less owned companies were as follows:
The Company had two interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2021 that call for the Company to pay a fixed rate of interest of (0.03)% on the aggregate notional value of €15.0 million ($16.0 million) and receive a variable interest rate based on EURIBOR on the aggregate notional value.
MexMar had five interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2023 that call for MexMar to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.71% to 2.10% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $120.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.
Sea-Cat Crewzer II had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2019 that calls for Sea-Cat Crewzer II to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $22.7 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.
Sea-Cat Crewzer had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2019 that calls for Sea-Cat Crewzer to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $20.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.

The Company may hold positions in publicly traded equity options that convey the right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security or index. Historically, the Company’s investment in equity options has primarily included positions in energy related businesses. These contracts are typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose.
The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2017, the fair market value of the outstanding forward currency option contracts was an unrealized gain of $0.1 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve to eighteen months.
The Company and certain of its 50% or less owned companies have entered into interest rate swap agreements for the general purpose of providing protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs. As of March 31, 2017, the interest rate swaps held by the Company or its 50% or less owned companies were as follows:
The Company had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2022 that calls for the Company to pay a fixed interest rate of 2.06% on the amortized notional value of $60.9 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.
OSV Partners had two interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2020 that call for OSV Partners to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.89% to 2.27% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $36.8 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.
Dynamic Offshore had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2018 that calls for Dynamic Offshore to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.30% on the amortized notional value of $71.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2017 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Investments, at equity, and advances in 50% or less owned companies. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s partner declined to participate in a capital call from Falcon Global and, as a consequence, the Company obtained 100% voting control of Falcon Global in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement (see Note 3). Upon the change in control, the Company marked its investment in Falcon Global to fair value. Falcon Global’s primary assets consist of two newly constructed foreign-flag liftboats. The estimated fair value of the liftboats was the primary input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its investment based on a third-party valuation using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Due to limited market transactions, the primary valuation methodology applied by the appraisers was an estimated cost approach less economic obsolescence based on utilization and rates per day worked trending over the prior year in the Middle East region where the vessels are intended to operate.

Falcon Global. Falcon Global owns and operates two foreign-flag liftboats. In March 2017, the Company’s partner declined to participate in a capital call from Falcon Global and, as a consequence, the Company obtained 100% voting control of Falcon Global in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement. As a consequence, the Company has consolidated Falcon Global’s net assets of $34.7 million as of March 31, 2017 (see Note 3).
Windcat Workboats. Windcat Workboats owns and operates the Company’s wind farm utility vessels that are primarily used to move personnel and supplies in the major offshore wind markets of Europe. As of March 31, 2017, the net assets of Windcat Workboats were $20.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $0.8 million, of which $0.2 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $2.5 million, of which $0.6 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 12.5% of Windcat Workboats from noncontrolling interests for $3.7 million.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s unfunded capital commitments were $81.9 million and included six fast support vessels, three supply vessels and one wind farm utility vessel. Of these commitments, $13.8 million is payable during the remainder of 2017; $53.1 million is payable during 2018; $13.2 million is payable during 2019; and $1.8 million is payable during 2020. These commitments included $15.4 million for one supply vessel that may be assumed by a third party at their option. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company committed to acquire additional equipment for $9.7 million.
As of March 31, 2017, SEACOR Holdings has guaranteed $134.4 million on behalf of the Company for various obligations including: debt facility and letter of credit obligations; performance obligations under sale-leaseback arrangements; debt facility obligations for 50% or less owned companies; and invoiced amounts for funding deficits under the MNOPF. Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, SEACOR Holdings charges the Company a fee of 0.5% on outstanding guaranteed amounts, which declines as the obligations are settled by the Company.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time to the public constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements. Actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including decreased demand and loss of revenues as a result of a decline in the price of oil and resulting decrease in capital spending by oil and gas companies, an oversupply of newly built offshore support vessels, additional safety and certification requirements for drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and delayed approval of applications for such activities, the possibility of U.S. government implemented moratoriums directing operators to cease certain drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and any extension of such moratoriums, weakening demand for the Company’s services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels in response to a decline in the price of oil, an oversupply of newly built offshore support vessels, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company’s businesses could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act and related regulations are repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with the provision of emergency response services, such as the response to the oil spill as a result of the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, decreased demand for the Company’s services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines in valuations in the global financial markets and a lack of liquidity in the credit sectors, including, interest rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, change in laws, trade barriers, commodity prices and currency exchange fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, including as a result of the recent vote in the U.K. to leave the European Union, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, safety record requirements, compliance with U.S. and foreign government laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations and economic sanctions, the dependence on several key customers, consolidation of the Company’s customer base, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels, industry fleet capacity, restrictions imposed by the Jones Act and related regulations on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, operational risks, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, adequacy of insurance coverage, the ability to remediate the material weaknesses the Company has identified in its internal controls over financial reporting, the attraction and retention of qualified personnel by the Company, and various other matters and factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control as well as those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and other reports filed by the Company with the SEC. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the preceding should not be considered to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. It is advisable, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (if any). These statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Overview
The Company provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production facilities worldwide. The Company currently operates a diverse fleet of 186 support and specialty vessels, of which 136 are owned or leased-in, 34 are joint ventured, 13 are managed on behalf of unaffiliated third parties and three are operated under pooling arrangements. The primary users of the Company’s services are major integrated oil companies, large independent oil and gas exploration and production companies and emerging independent companies.
The Company operates its fleet in five principle geographic regions: the United States, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico; Africa, primarily in West Africa; the Middle East and Asia; Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America; and Europe, primarily in the North Sea. The Company’s vessels are highly mobile and regularly and routinely move between countries within a geographic region. In addition, the Company’s vessels are redeployed among the geographic regions, subject to flag restrictions, as changes in market conditions dictate. The number and type of vessels operated, their rates per day worked and their utilization levels are the key determinants of the Company’s operating results and cash flows. Unless a vessel is cold-stacked, there is little reduction in daily running costs and, consequently, operating margins are most sensitive to changes in rates per day worked and utilization. The Company manages its fleet utilizing a global network of shore side support, administrative and finance personnel.

Offshore oil and gas market conditions deteriorated beginning in 2014 and continued to deteriorate in 2016 when oil prices hit a twelve-year low of less than $27 per barrel (on the New York Mercantile Exchange) in February 2016. This decline in oil and gas prices led to a decrease in offshore drilling and associated activity. The Company continued to experience difficult market conditions through the first quarter of 2017 and expects those conditions to continue in the near term. The Company has experienced a modest improvement from seasonal maintenance and construction activity in the Middle East and U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Low oil prices and the subsequent decline in offshore exploration have forced many operators in the industry to restructure or liquidate assets. The Company continues to closely monitor the delivery of newly built offshore support vessels to the industry-wide fleet, which is creating situations of oversupply, thereby further lowering the demand for the Company’s existing offshore support vessel fleet. A continuation of (i) weak oil and gas prices leading to lower customer exploration and drilling activity levels, and (ii) the increasing size of the global offshore support vessel fleet as newly built vessels are placed into service could, in isolation or together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The Spin-off. SEACOR Marine was previously a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (along with its other majority owned subsidiaries collectively referred to as “SEACOR Holdings”), which had announced its intent to spin-off SEACOR Marine. The spin-off was completed on June 1, 2017 by way of a pro rata dividend of SEACOR Marine’s common stock, all of which was held by SEACOR Holdings, to SEACOR Holdings shareholders of record as of May 22, 2017 (the “Spin-off”). SEACOR Marine entered into a series of agreements with SEACOR Holdings, including a Distribution Agreement, two Transition Services Agreements, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement, which will govern SEACOR Marine’s relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the Spin-off. Upon completion of the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine began to operate as an independent, publicly traded company.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Time charter revenues were $8.0 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to reduced utilization as a consequence of cold-stacking vessels. Time charter revenues were $7.2 million lower for the anchor handling towing supply vessels, $0.9 million lower for the liftboat fleet and $0.1 million higher for the fast support vessels. Available days for fast support vessels charter were higher in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to the acquisition of eleven vessels for $10.0 million at a bankruptcy auction during the third quarter of 2016. These vessels were idle when purchased, are still not working and are therefore contributing to the overall decline in fast support vessel utilization. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 35 of 44 owned and leased-in vessels (ten anchor handling towing supply, 16 fast support, one supply, one specialty and seven liftboats) cold-stacked in the region compared with 21 of 32 owned and leased-in vessels (five anchor handling towing supply, three fast support, two supply and eleven liftboats) as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had retired and removed from service one anchor handling towing supply vessel in this region.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $4.6 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower personnel costs as a consequence of cold-stacking vessels. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company incurred operating costs of $1.6 million on the reactivation of five liftboats from cold-stack in anticipation of increased activity levels.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Time charter revenues were $5.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. On an overall basis, time charter revenues were $0.7 million lower due to a decrease in average day rates and $5.0 million lower due to reduced utilization, of which $3.2 million was a consequence of cold-stacking vessels, $1.0 million was attributable to retiring and removing vessels from service and $0.8 million was for vessels in active service. In addition, time charter revenues for anchor handling towing supply vessels were $1.7 million lower in the Current Year Quarter due to the deferral of revenue for one vessel on time charter (excluded from time charter operating data) to a customer as collection was not reasonably assured. Time charter revenues were $2.1 million higher due to fleet additions. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had one of 13 owned and leased-in vessels (specialty) cold-stacked in the region compared with three of 15 owned and leased-in vessels (two

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Time charter revenues were $2.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. On an overall basis, time charter revenues were $1.7 million lower due to reduced utilization, of which $1.5 million was a consequence of cold-stacking vessels and $0.2 million for vessels in active service, $0.5 million lower due to reduced average day rates and $0.1 million lower due to fleet dispositions. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had two of 21 owned vessels (one supply and one windfarm utility) cold-stacked in the region compared with two of 21 owned vessels (one anchor handling towing supply and one supply) as of March 31, 2016.
Other operating revenues were $3.2 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to reduced earnings from revenue pooling arrangements.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $3.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. On an overall basis, direct operating expenses were $0.3 million lower due to the effect of cold-stacking vessels, $2.4 million lower due to net fleet dispositions, and $0.8 million lower for vessels in active service. During the the Current Year Quarter, the Company incurred costs of $0.5 million for the reactivation of three cold-stack vessels prior to the commencement of new time charters.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Bareboat charter revenues were $1.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the completion of two bareboat charters in Mexico during 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had one of three owned vessels (one fast support) cold-stacked in the region compared with none of six owned and leased-in vessels as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had retired and removed from service one supply vessel in this region.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $1.9 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to crew redundancy costs incurred during the Prior Year Quarter following the change in contract status for two vessels from time charter to bareboat charter.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. For standby safety vessels, time charter revenues were $4.9 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Time charter revenues were $0.8 million lower due to reduced utilization, $0.3 million lower due to reduced average day rates, $1.8 million lower due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates and $2.0 million lower due to fleet dispositions.
For wind farm utility vessels, time charter revenues were $0.1 million lower. Time charter revenues were $0.2 million higher due to improved utilization, $0.4 million higher due to increased average day rates and $0.7 million lower due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $4.9 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. On an overall basis vessel operating expenses were $2.1 million lower due to net fleet dispositions and $2.8 million lower for vessels in active service primarily due to favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Personnel costs were $1.4 million lower primarily due to favorable changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased seafarer compensation costs for vessels in active service, and $1.7 million lower due to net fleet dispositions.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $2.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to impairment charges recognized during 2016 and net fleet dispositions.

Interest expense. Interest expense in the Current Year Quarter was higher compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower capitalized interest on the construction of vessels.
Marketable security gains (losses), net. Marketable security gains during the Current Year Quarter were primarily due to realized gains on long marketable security positions.
Derivative gains (losses), net. During the Prior Year Quarter, derivative gains, net were primarily due to unrealized gains on equity options.

Income Tax Benefit
During the Current Year Quarter, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 29.9% was primarily due to losses of foreign subsidiaries not benefited. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 31.7% was primarily due to non-deductible expenses associated with the Company’s participation in SEACOR Holdings share award plans.

MexMar. Earnings were $1.7 million lower during the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower rates per day worked for its fleet.
Falcon Global. Earnings were $0.7 million lower during the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to operating costs and depreciation for two liftboats delivered during the Current Year Quarter. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company’s partner declined to participate in a capital call from Falcon Global and, as a consequence, the Company obtained 100% voting control of Falcon Global in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement and began to consolidate Falcon Global effective March 31, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, capital commitments and its obligations to service outstanding debt. The Company may use its liquidity to fund capital expenditures, make acquisitions or to make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds and cash flows from operations. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of SEACOR Marine common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had unfunded capital commitments of $81.9 million that included six fast support vessels, three supply vessels and one wind farm utility vessel. These commitments included $15.4 million for one supply vessel

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, cash generated from operating activities, availability under existing subsidiary financing arrangements and access to the credit and capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including to support its capital expenditures program, working capital and debt service requirements. The Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. The Company’s sources of liquidity may be impacted by the general condition of the markets in which it operates and the broader economy as a whole, which may limit its access to the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10. There has been no material change in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the Current Year Quarter, except for the impact of consolidating Falcon Global’s outstanding debt of $58.3 million effective March 31, 2017, which was previously disclosed as guaranteed by the Company.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
For a discussion of the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10. There has been no material change in the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments during the Current Year Quarter.
Contingencies
As of March 31, 2017, SEACOR Holdings has guaranteed $134.4 million on behalf of the Company for various obligations including: debt facility and letter of credit obligations; performance obligations under sale-leaseback arrangements; debt facility obligations for 50% or less owned companies; and invoiced amounts for funding deficits under the MNOPF. Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, SEACOR Holdings charges the Company a fee of 0.5% on outstanding guaranteed amounts, which declines as the obligations are settled by the Company.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10. There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Year Quarter.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2017. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017 solely as a result of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting noted in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and described in detail below.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
In connection with the preparation of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, SEACOR Holdings identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Prior to the Spin-off, the Company was a consolidated subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings and its system of internal controls over financial reporting was part of the broader SEACOR Holdings control system. The following material weaknesses were identified by SEACOR Holdings and are also present in our control environment:
Manual journal entries. SEACOR Holdings and the Company’s management did not design and maintain effective controls over the review and approval of manual journal entries made to the general ledger. In addition, management did not maintain effective controls designed to limit super user access within its information technology system supporting the general ledger to appropriately address segregation of duties and to restrict financial users’ access to the ledgers, functions and data commensurate with their job responsibilities.
Impairments. SEACOR Holdings and the Company’s management concluded there were material weaknesses in the vessel impairment assessments and other-than-temporary impairment assessments for its equity method investments. For these assessments, management did not design and maintain controls over the review of assumptions, data and calculations used in the impairment analysis. Additionally, management did not maintain controls over its assessment of the qualifications of third party specialists, or review of the methodologies and assumptions they employed related to estimates of fair value used in the impairment assessments.
Management and the board of directors take the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the integrity of its financial statements seriously and continues to develop a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified. Management currently does not have an expected timetable for the execution and completion of a remediation plan, which will include an improved approval process of manual journal entries, limiting access to the Company’s information technology system and enhanced review and documentation controls relating to estimates of fair value and related impairment assessments. Management and the board of directors are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and will make every effort to ensure the material weaknesses described above are promptly remediated; however, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls are implemented and operate for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements as included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
For a discussion of the Company’s risk factors, refer to “Risk Factors” included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10.
