Current report
In the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $19 million for loss on extinguishment of debt related to the repurchase of approximately $397 million principal amount of our 2028 Senior Notes. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date plus a “make-whole premium.” The make-whole premium of $1.9 million, costs associated with the Tender Offer of $7.3 million and the write-off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs of $9.8 million were recognized during the third quarter of 2026 related to the July 2026 debt repurchase, Tender Offer and redemption. These amounts were recorded in Loss on Extinguishment of Debt in our consolidated statements of operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026.
Current report
In the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we used $45 million and $36 million, respectively, of cash in financing activities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we received net proceeds of $491 million due to the issuance of our 2034 Senior Notes.

In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we used $19 million and $26 million, respectively, of cash in financing activities primarily due to the repurchase of 0.3 million shares for $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 1.0 million shares for $20 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, of our common stock along with the payment of tax withholding related to vesting of stock awards in both periods.
Reworded paragraphs (30)
Previous wording
Our diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 were $0.65 and $1.00, respectively, as compared to $0.54 and $1.03, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, increased by 11% on a 10% increase in revenue. These positive results were largely driven by improvements from our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”), where favorable project mix and operational execution drove better-than-expected revenue and profitability. More broadly, our results demonstrate continued strength across our portfolio. All of our segments generated increased revenue and operating income, except for Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (“IMDS”), which was partially impacted by the ongoing Middle East conflict. Our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, decreased by 4% on a 6% increase in revenue, driven by lower results in our IMDS segment, which was impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the unusually strong first quarter of 2025 for our OPG segment, partially offset by improved results on increased activity in our Manufactured Products segment.
Current wording
Our diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 were $0.52 and $1.53, respectively, as compared to $0.71 and $1.74, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, increased by 7% on a 6% increase in revenue. These positive results were driven by improved results in Subsea Robotics and continued improved performance from our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”). More broadly, our results demonstrate continued strength across our portfolio. All of our segments generated increased revenue and operating income, except for Integrity Management & Digital Solutions (“IMDS”), which was partially impacted by the ongoing Middle East conflict and Aerospace and Defense Technologies (“ADTech”), which was impacted by changes in contract mix, additional project-related costs and a one-time accrual recorded in connection with a previously disclosed contract dispute. Our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, were relatively flat on a 6% increase in revenue, driven by lower results in our IMDS segment, which was impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the unusually strong first quarter of 2025 for our OPG segment, partially offset by improved results on increased activity in our Manufactured Products and Subsea Robotics segments.
Previous wording
Consistent with recent years, our cash balance declined during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026. We utilized approximately $25 million of cash for maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $16 million for growth capital expenditures in the first six months of 2026 along with$10 million for the repurchase of our common stock and $8.6 million for payment of tax withholding related to vesting of stock awards. These items were the largest contributors to our $59 million cash reduction during the first six months of 2026, as compared to a $63 million cash reduction during the first half of 2025.
Current wording
In the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, we generated $163 million and $159 million, respectively, from operating activities. That compares to $101 million and $98 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. Partially offsetting this cash growth, we utilized approximately $39 million of cash for maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $22 million for growth capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2026 along with$18 million related to our third quarter debt refinancing,$15 million for the repurchase of our common stock and $8.6 million for payment of tax withholding related to vesting of stock awards. These items were the largest contributors to our $55 million increase in cash and restricted cash during the first nine months of 2026, as compared to a cash increase of $8.5 million during the first nine months of 2025.
Previous wording
During the second quarter of 2026, we initiated a series of financing transactions designed to address the maturity of our 2028 senior notes. These transactions, completed during the third quarter of 2026, included the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2034, the completion of a tender offer for the outstanding 2028 Senior Notes, and an amendment to the senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment increased commitments from $215 million to $345 million and extended the facility’s maturity to July 2031. Together, these actions extended our debt maturity profile while preserving substantial liquidity and financial flexibility.
Current wording
During the third quarter of 2026, we completed a series of financing transactions that strengthened our capital structure, including the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2034 (the “2034 Senior Notes”) and the amendment and extension of our senior secured revolving credit facility, which increased commitments to $345 million and extended the facility’s maturity to July 2031. These actions extended our debt maturity profile, reduced refinancing risk, and enhanced our long-term financial flexibility.

Our IMDS operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 were lower on decreased revenue, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to lower activity levels and related cost absorption, change in project mix, as well as increased personnel-related costs, primarily in the Americas and the Middle East.
Previous wording
Our ADTech segment revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, increased as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to increased activity in OTECH and our Marine Services Division. Our ADTech segment operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 decreased as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to a one-time accrual recorded in connection with an agreement in principle with an ADTech customer to resolve a previously disclosed contract dispute along with changes in program cost mix. In the first quarter of 2026, we recorded $6.8 million in expense and recognized related current and long‑term liabilities based on the proposed repayment schedule. Offsetting this amount was the release of a $1.3 million accrual that was recorded in a previous period related to the same matter. Although the agreement is subject to final approval by both parties, based on the information currently available, we do not expect any additional material obligations related to this matter. We anticipate settling our obligation over the life of the associated multi-year contract. In addition, our operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, was impacted by a lower margin project mix.
Current wording

Our tax provision is based on (1) our earnings for the period and other factors affecting the tax provision and (2) the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries that are subject to local income and withholding taxes. Factors that affect our tax rate include our profitability levels in general and the geographical mix of our results. The effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the geographical mix of revenue and earnings, changes in valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, changes in permanent book and tax differences, and other discrete items. We continue to make an assertion to indefinitely reinvest the unrepatriated earnings of any foreign subsidiary that would incur material tax consequences upon the distribution of such earnings.
