OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL INC

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a global technology company delivering engineered services and products and robotic solutions to the offshore energy, defense, aerospace and manufacturing industries. Oceaneering was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1969 out of the combination of three diving service companies founded in the early 1960s. Since our establishment, we have concentrated on the development and marketing of underwater services and products to meet customer needs requiring the use of advanced technology. The continued evolution of applying our advanced technologies has expanded our presence into numerous adjacent markets focused on autonomous robotics. We believe we are one of the world's largest underwater services contractors. The services and products we provide to the energy industry include remotely operated vehicles, survey and positioning services, specialty subsea hardware, engineering and project management, subsea intervention services, including manned diving and asset integrity and non-destructive testing services. Our foreign operations, principally in Africa, United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Norway, Brazil and Asia and Australia accounted for approximately 55% of our revenue, or $1.5 billion, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We operate in five business segments. Our segments are contained within two businesses—services and products provided primarily to the oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the mobility solutions and offshore renewables industries, among others (“Energy”), and services and products provided to non-energy industries (“Aerospace and Defense Technologies”). Our four segments within the Energy business are Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. We report our non-energy business, Aerospace and Defense Technologies, as one segment. Unallocated Expenses are expenses not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock units, performance units and bonuses, as well as other general expenses, including corporate administrative expenses.

We intend to continue our strategy of acquiring, as opportunities arise, additional assets or businesses, to improve our market position or expand into related service and product lines. Our most recent acquisition was in October 2024, when we acquired Global Design Innovation Ltd. (“GDi”), a U.K.-based provider of digital and software services, for approximately $33 million. This acquisition is a key step in Oceaneering’s strategy to advance its digital capabilities and broaden the solutions available to our global customers.

We continue to focus on generating significant free cash flow and spending capital prudently to leverage our core competencies in new and existing markets. We will continue to develop and deliver technologies to help our customers produce hydrocarbons in a cleaner, safer and more cost-effective manner while increasing our investments into new markets including aerospace and defense solutions, digital asset management, energy transition and mobility solutions.

Energy. The primary focus of our Energy business is to continue driving the positive momentum associated with the operational efficiency programs that leverage our asset base and capabilities for providing services and products for offshore energy operations and subsea completions. These efforts continue to benefit us during the current upstream spending cycle that is consistent with the ongoing global demand for energy. We are also focused on deploying our capabilities to grow our business in integrity management, survey services, mobile robotics, offshore wind installations, nuclear and other clean energy solutions.

Subsea Robotics. Our Subsea Robotics segment consists of our work-class remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”), survey services and ROV tooling businesses. We provide work-class ROVs, which are tethered submersible vehicles remotely operated from the surface, to customers in the offshore energy industry for drill support and vessel-based services, including subsea hardware installation, construction, pipeline inspection, survey and facilities inspection, maintenance and repair (“IMR”). We design, build, retrofit and upgrade our new and existing ROVs at in-house facilities, the largest of which is in Morgan City, Louisiana. In 2025, we retired sixteen of our conventional work-class ROV systems and replaced them with sixteen upgraded conventional work-class ROV systems.

Our work-class ROV fleet size was 250 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and included eight Isurus TM work-class ROV systems (which are capable of operating in high-current conditions and are ideal for renewables projects and high-speed surveys) and our battery-operated Liberty electric ROV (“E-ROV”) system, which we developed to address customer objectives regarding cost and personnel efficiencies, along with safety and environmental considerations. The E-ROV system allows our customers to reduce carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas“ (“GHG”) emissions associated with offshore production operations. This system does not require a dedicated vessel to be on standby during ROV operations and reduces the need for ROV and other vessel-based personnel to be transported to and from marine vessels and offshore platforms, making the system more cost-efficient and safer for our customers. Additionally, we offer Freedom, a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle (“AUV”) and ROV that can complete surveys, commissioning, inspections, maintenance, and repairs without the need for a pilot to monitor and control the entire operation. Freedom combines the data resolution and completeness of coverage in a single pass usually only obtainable using an ROV, but with the speed and efficiency of a traditional AUV. We intend to continue to expand our remote service offerings in this segment given the potentially significant savings both financially and in CO₂ emissions available from Freedom, Liberty and Isurus TM systems.

Our ROV tooling provides an operational interface between the ROV and subsea equipment. Our survey services business includes hydrographic survey and positioning services and autonomous underwater vehicles for geoscience. As part of our survey business, our C-Nav® satellite positioning services provide high-accuracy, global navigation satellite system (“GNSS”) corrections designed to support offshore navigation and marine operations with reliable and redundant positioning capability.

Manufactured Products. Our Manufactured Products segment provides distribution systems, such as production control umbilicals and connection systems made up of specialty subsea hardware, along with clamp connectors and subsea and topside control valves. We also provide turnkey solutions that include project management, engineering design, fabrication, assembly and installation of autonomous mobile robotic technology to industrial, manufacturing, healthcare and warehousing markets.

We provide various types of subsea umbilicals through our Umbilical Solutions division from facilities in the United States, Scotland and Brazil. Offshore operators use umbilicals to control subsea wellhead hydrocarbon flow rates, monitor downhole and wellhead conditions and perform chemical injection. Subsea umbilicals are also used to provide power and fluids to other subsea processing hardware, including pumps and gas separation equipment.

Offshore Projects Group. Our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”) segment provides a broad portfolio of integrated subsea project capabilities and solutions as follows:

•subsea installation and intervention, including riserless light well intervention (“RLWI”) services, IMR services, principally in the United States (“U.S.”) Gulf and offshore Africa, utilizing owned and chartered vessels;

•installation and workover control systems (“IWOCS”) and ROV workover control systems (“RWOCS”);

•diving services;

•decommissioning services;

•project management and engineering; and

•drill pipe riser services and systems and wellhead load relief solutions.

Our OPG segment provides vessel-based services principally in the U.S. Gulf and offshore Africa, utilizing a fleet consisting of two owned and five chartered dynamically positioned deepwater vessels with integrated high-specification work-class ROVs onboard, and one owned survey vessel, other spot-chartered vessels and other assets. Our owned vessels are Jones Act-compliant. The dynamically positioned vessels are equipped with thrusters that allow them to maintain a constant position at a location without the use of anchors. They are used in the IMR of subsea facilities, pipeline or flowline tie-ins, pipeline crossings and installations. These vessels can also carry and install equipment or umbilicals required to bring subsea well completions into production (tie-back to production facilities).

Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. Our Integrity Management & Digital Solutions (“IMDS”) segment provides asset integrity management, corrosion management, inspection and nondestructive testing services, principally to customers in the oil and gas, power generation and petrochemical industries. We perform these services on both onshore and offshore facilities, both topside and subsea. We also provide software, digital and connectivity solutions for the energy industry.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. Our ADTech segment provides services and products, including engineering and related manufacturing in defense and space exploration activities, principally to U.S. government agencies and their prime contractors. Many of the services and products utilized in ADTech are applied technologies based on our core competencies and knowledge derived from decades of working in the offshore markets and solving complex problems in harsh environments.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Energy. Our Energy business consists of the Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions segments. The primary focus of our Energy business is to deliver solutions for our customers, utilizing our core competencies, to provide services and products for offshore energy operations and subsea completions. We believe that ongoing global demand for energy will continue to benefit our Energy business. We also are focused on deploying our capabilities to grow our business and increase profitability in integrity management, survey services and mobile robotics.

Subsea Robotics. ROVs are tethered submersible vehicles remotely operated from the surface. We use our ROVs in the offshore energy industry to perform a variety of underwater tasks, including drill support, vessel-based IMR, installation and construction support, pipeline inspection and surveys, and subsea production facility operation and maintenance. Work-class ROVs are outfitted with manipulators, sonar and video cameras, and can operate specialized tooling packages and other equipment or features to facilitate the performance of specific underwater tasks. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 250 work-class ROVs. We believe we own and operate the largest fleet of work-class ROVs in the world and this business segment is the largest contributor to our Energy business operating income. We also believe we are the industry leader in providing ROV services for offshore drill support, with an estimated 60% market share of the 136 contracted floating drilling rigs at the end of 2025.

ROV tooling provides an operational interface between an ROV and equipment located subsea. Our survey services business provides survey, positioning and geoscience services through the use of autonomous underwater vehicles and autonomous surface vessels.

GDi’s suite of solutions, including its Vision software, complements Oceaneering’s portfolio by supporting enhanced safety, data quality and integrity, and cost efficiency for customers worldwide.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. We provide engineering services and manufacturing to the U.S. Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) and major government contractors. We work with our customers to understand their specialized requirements, identify and mitigate risks, and provide them with value-added, maintainable, safe and certified solutions. The segment's largest customer is the U.S. Government with the U.S. Navy and NASA being the primary agencies supported. For the U.S. Navy, we perform engineering services, prototype design building services and repair and maintenance services on submarines and surface ships. We support space exploration and technology development by providing our products and services to NASA, aerospace contractors and commercial space companies. Our U.S. Navy and NASA-related activities substantially depend on continued government funding.

MARKETING

Energy. Energy exploration and development expenditures fluctuate from year to year. In particular, budgetary approval for drilling and production in deepwater, an area in which we have a high degree of focus, may be postponed or suspended during periods when exploration and production companies reduce their offshore capital spending. Over the last several years, one of our focus areas has been to increase our service and product offerings toward our energy customers' operating expenditures and the offshore renewables energy market.

We market our Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, OPG and IMDS services and products to domestic, international and foreign national energy companies engaged in offshore exploration, development and production. We also provide services and products as a subcontractor to other oilfield service companies operating as prime contractors. In addition, we market our Manufactured Products mobile robotic solutions to domestic and international industrial, manufacturing, healthcare and warehousing industries. Customers for our energy services and products typically award contracts on a competitive-bid basis. These contracts can range from less than one year in duration to multi-year contracts.

In connection with the services we perform in our Energy business, we generally seek contracts that compensate us on a dayrate basis. Under dayrate contracts, the contractor provides the ROV, vessel or equipment and the required personnel to operate the unit and compensation is based on a rate per day for each day the unit is used. The typical dayrate depends on market conditions, the nature of the operations to be performed, the duration of the work, the equipment and services to be provided, the geographical areas involved and other variables. Dayrate contracts may also contain an alternate, lower dayrate that applies when a unit is moving to a new site or when operations are interrupted or restricted by equipment breakdowns, adverse weather or water conditions or other conditions beyond the contractor's control. Contracts for our product sales are generally for a fixed price.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. We market our engineered products and services primarily to U.S. government agencies and their prime contractors in defense and space exploration activities, as well as commercial space companies.

Major Customers. Our top five customers in 2025, 2024 and 2023 accounted for 31%, 31% and 36%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, four of our top five customers were oil and gas exploration and production companies served by our Energy business segments, with the other one being the U.S. Government, which is served primarily by our ADTech segment. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from one customer, the U.S. Government, accounted for 12% of our total consolidated annual revenue, and no other customer accounted for more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2024, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue from one customer, the U.S. Government, accounted for 10% of our total consolidated annual revenue, and no other customer accounted for more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue.

Although we do not depend on any one customer, the loss of one of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

RAW MATERIALS

We purchase various raw materials for use in manufacturing our products and delivering our services. The key raw materials we use include steel in various forms, polymers, copper wire, electronic components and plastics. Most of the raw materials that are critical to our business are generally readily available from multiple sources but may be subject to price volatility. In addition, global market conditions can trigger constraints in the supply of certain raw materials, and our procurement personnel are always seeking ways to ensure the availability and manage the cost of raw materials. In addition to raw materials, we also use the products and services of a number of other providers, such as forge companies, casting foundries, metal fabricators, machine shops and logistics providers, in order to produce and deliver products to our customers. Most of these materials and services are generally available from multiple sources.

COMPETITION

Our businesses operate in highly competitive industry segments.

Energy. We are one of several companies that provide underwater services and specialty subsea hardware on a worldwide basis. We compete for contracts with companies that have worldwide operations, as well as numerous others operating locally in various areas. We believe that our ability to safely provide a wide range of underwater services and products on a worldwide basis enables us to compete effectively in multiple phases of the offshore oilfield life cycle. In some cases involving projects that require less sophisticated equipment, small companies have been able to bid for contracts at prices uneconomical to us. Additionally, in some jurisdictions we are subject to foreign governmental regulations favoring or requiring the awarding of contracts to local contractors or requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These regulations may adversely affect our ability to compete.

Subsea Robotics. We believe we are the world's largest owner and operator of work-class ROVs employed in energy-related operations. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 250 work-class ROVs. We compete with several major companies on a worldwide basis and with numerous others operating locally in various areas. Competition for ROV services, including ROV tooling, historically has been based on equipment availability, location of or ability to deploy the equipment, quality of service and price. The relative importance of these factors can vary over time based on market conditions. The ability to develop improved equipment and techniques and to attract, train and retain skilled personnel is also an important competitive factor in our markets.

Our survey and positioning services operate in a competitive environment, as one of several companies that provide these services. Additionally, in recent years, we have been targeting increasing our presence in international markets through the use of simultaneous operations that have enhanced our ability to conduct remote operations.

Manufactured Products. With our manufactured products business, we are one of several companies that compete on a worldwide basis for the provision of steel tube and thermoplastic control umbilicals. Compared to current and forecasted market demand, coupled with competitors reducing supply capacity, we have seen improvements in the umbilical manufacturing and energy markets. We believe the reduction in capacity by some of our competitors over the last few years, coupled with an increase in demand, should help with balancing a historically over-supplied market.

Within our mobility solutions business, there are many niche competitors offering specialized services and products, both on a regional and a global basis.

Offshore Projects Group. We perform subsea intervention and hardware installation services, principally in the U.S. Gulf and offshore Africa, from multiservice deepwater vessels. We are one of many companies that offer these services. In general, our competitors can move their vessels to where we operate from other locations with relative ease. However, some of our competitors’ vessels are not Jones Act-compliant, which requires that vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf be built and registered in the United States and 75% U.S. owned in order to transport merchandise between points in the United States. Within our service and rental businesses, there are many competitors offering specialized services and products both on a regional and a global basis.

Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. The worldwide asset integrity and inspection markets consist of a wide range of inspection and certification requirements in many industries. We currently compete in only selected portions of this market. We are expanding our integrity management services into adjacent markets and are developing our digitization services. We believe that our broad geographic sales and operational coverage, long history of operations, technical and safety reputation, application of various inspection technologies and accreditation to international quality standards enable us to compete effectively in our selected asset integrity and inspection services market segments.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. Engineering services is a very broad market with a large number of competitors. We compete in specialized areas in which we can combine our extensive knowledge of operating in harsh environments, program management experience, mechanical engineering expertise and the capability to continue the development of conceptual project designs into the manufacture of custom equipment for customers.

SEASONALITY AND BACKLOG

We generate a material amount of our consolidated revenue from contracts for services in the U.S. Gulf within our OPG segment. This segment typically experiences higher activity levels during the second and third quarters, as compared to the rest of the year. Notably, the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 represented a positive exception to this pattern. Revenue in our Subsea Robotics segment is subject to seasonal variations in demand, with our first quarter generally being the low quarter of the year. The level of our Subsea Robotics seasonality depends on the number of ROVs we have engaged in vessel-based subsea infrastructure IMR and installation, which is more seasonal than drill support. Revenue in each of our Manufactured Products, IMDS and ADTech segments generally has not been seasonal.

The amounts for backlog orders we believed to be firm as of 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in millions):

If any of our contracts with firm orders were to be terminated, our backlog would be reduced by the expected value of the unfilled orders of such contracts.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, not included in the table above, we had unfunded (firm orders that have not yet been paid for by our customers) contracted backlog of approximately $658 million and $279 million, respectively, in our ADTech segment. Unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts are not included in backlog until the time the option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

We currently hold numerous U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications. We have acquired patents and licenses and granted licenses to others when we have considered it advantageous for us to do so. Although in the aggregate our patents and licenses are important to us, we do not regard any single patent or license or group of related patents or licenses as critical or essential to our business as a whole. In general, we depend on our technological capabilities and the application of know-how rather than patents and licenses in the conduct of our operations.

REGULATION

Our operations are affected from time to time and in varying degrees by foreign and domestic political developments and foreign, federal and local laws and regulations, including those relating to:

•operating from and around offshore drilling, production and marine facilities;

•national preference for local equipment and personnel;

•marine vessel safety;

•protection of the environment, including pollution, GHG emissions and climate change;

•workplace health and safety;

•data privacy;

•taxation (including tariffs and retaliatory tariffs);

•license requirements for importation and exportation of our equipment and technology; and

•currency conversion and repatriation.

In addition, our Energy business primarily depends on the demand for our services and products from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry generally. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing offshore exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic and other policy reasons (such as addressing concerns about climate change or banning offshore exploration and production in certain geographic areas) would adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our services. We cannot determine the extent to which new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations may affect our future operations.

Our operations and properties are subject to a wide variety of increasingly complex and stringent foreign, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing discharges into the air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous substances and the health and safety of employees. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Some environmental laws provide for strict, joint and several liability for remediation of spills and other releases of hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. In addition, companies may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances. These laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed.

Environmental laws and regulations that apply to our operations include the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (each, as amended) and similar laws that provide for responses to, and liability for, releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Environmental laws and regulations also include similar foreign, state or local counterparts to the above-mentioned federal laws, which regulate air emissions, water discharges, hazardous substances and waste, and require public disclosure related to the use of various hazardous substances. Our operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, primarily, in the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We cannot predict all of the environmental requirements or circumstances that will exist in the future but anticipate that environmental control and protection standards will become increasingly stringent and costly. Based on our experience to date, we do not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of future compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by us, which may be material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant environmental compliance costs in the future.

Our quality management systems are, at a minimum, registered as being in conformance with ISO 9001:2015, with several locations also conforming with ISO 29001:2020 and cover:

•our Subsea Robotics operations in the U.S. Gulf, the U.K., Norway, Angola, Ghana, Brazil, Canada, India, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia;

•our Manufactured Products operations in Brazil, Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Norway, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Germany and Angola;

•our Offshore Projects Group operations in the U.S. Gulf, the U.K., Norway, Angola, Ghana, Brazil, Canada, India, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia;

•our Integrity Management & Digital Solutions operations in the U.S. Gulf, the U.K., Norway, Brazil, Angola, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Azerbaijan; and

•the Oceaneering Space Systems, Oceaneering Technologies and Marine Services divisions of our Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment in the U.S.

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized system for quality management established by the International Standards Organization, and the 2015 edition emphasizes customer satisfaction, risk assessment and continual improvement.

ISO 29001 is supplemental to ISO 9001 and defines requirements for product and service supply organizations to the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries with increased focus on supply chain risks, operational efficiency, safety, and quality.
