Current report
Our Well Intervention revenues decreased by 28% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting lower utilization on theSeawell and in the Gulf of America, offset in part by higher rates in Brazil during the second quarter 2025. Revenues decreased on theSeawell, which was warm-stacked during the second quarter 2025 as compared to being fully utilized during the second quarter 2024. Revenues were lower on the Gulf of America vessels due to fewer operational days on theQ4000, which incurred higher transit and demobilization days, and due to lower utilization on theQ5000, which underwent an approximate 57-day planned regulatory dry dock during the second quarter 2025. Revenues in Brazil increased during the second quarter 2025 as theSiem Helix 1and theSiem Helix 2 operated at higher contractual rates as compared to the second quarter 2024.

We maximize production of existing oil and gas reserves for our customers primarily in our Well Intervention segment. Historically, drilling rigs have been the asset class used for offshore well intervention work, and rig day rates are a pricing indicator for our services. Our customers have used drilling rigs on existing long-term contracts (rig overhang) to perform well intervention work instead of new drilling activities. Current volumes of work, rig utilization rates, the day rates quoted by drilling rig contractors and existing rig overhang affect the utilization and/or rates we can achieve for our assets and services.

Previous wording
Commodity prices continued to be volatile during the first quarter 2025. Oil prices dropped precipitously into the low $60s in early April 2025 following the U.S. government’s enactment of record tariffs levied globally and the announcement of significant increases in oil production by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other non-OPEC producer nations (collectively with OPEC members, “OPEC+”). These events follow increasing regulatory actions in the U.K., where the British government has enacted the Energy Profits Levy (windfall tax) and other changes that have significantly increased our customers’ costs in that region. Furthermore, there have been recent merger announcements of operators in the U.K. North Sea. Pending mergers historically result in reductions in spending during the merger process.
Current wording
Commodity prices continued to be volatile during the first half 2025 due to domestic and geopolitical events and uncertainties. Oil prices dropped precipitously into the low $60s in early April 2025 following the U.S. government’s enactment of record tariffs levied globally and the announcement of significant increases in oil production by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other non-OPEC producer nations (collectively with OPEC members, “OPEC+”). Oil prices recovered in June 2025 only to fall sharply once again following the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Previous wording
The production increases, tariffs and resulting trade wars are expected to result in slower economic growth and substantially increase the risk of a recession, both of which would reduce global demand for oil, putting further pressure on commodity prices, which is likely to result in lower customer spending for the industry. Additionally, the industry continues to be threatened by decisions from OPEC+, governmental regulations and changes thereto, geopolitical instability and uncertainty, regional conflicts, unrest in the Middle East, various governmental and customer sustainability initiatives and continued shifting of resource allocation to renewable energy. We expect these factors will continue to contribute to commodity price volatility and may prolong existing lower commodity prices with the potential to temper customer spending for offshore oil and gas projects.

Reduced global demand places further pressure on commodity prices, which is likely to result in lower customer spending for the industry. Additionally, the industry continues to be threatened by decisions from OPEC+, governmental regulations and changes thereto, including the ongoing effects of the U.K. government’s Energy Profits Levy (windfall tax), geopolitical instability and uncertainty, regional conflicts, unrest in the Middle East, customer spending declines following mergers in the U.K. North Sea, various governmental and customer sustainability initiatives and continued shifting of resource allocation to renewable energy. We expect these factors will continue to contribute to commodity price volatility and may prolong existing lower commodity prices with the potential to temper customer spending for offshore oil and gas projects.

Previous wording
Following the production increases announced by OPEC+ and the tariffs announced by the U.S. government in early April as described above, we anticipate more uncertainty and expect a more challenging spot market for Well Intervention and Shallow Water Abandonment in 2025, although our performance should be supported by our backlog from new contracting at improved rates and by increasing demand for our decommissioning services internationally, which should grow over mid- to long-term as the subsea tree base expands, as customers reduce their decommissioning obligations, and as customers shift resources to renewable energy. We expect the demand for shallow water decommissioning services in the Gulf of America to improve over the mid- to long-term as oil and gas properties revert to former owners due to bankruptcies, who are expected to address their decommissioning obligations. We expect growth in our renewables services as the global demand for energy increases and the international energy market continues offshore renewable energy developments.
Current wording
We anticipate more uncertainty and expect a more challenging spot market for Well Intervention and Shallow Water Abandonment during the remainder of 2025, although our performance should be supported by our backlog from new contracting at improved rates and by increasing demand for our decommissioning services internationally, which should grow over mid- to long-term as the subsea tree base expands, as customers reduce their decommissioning obligations, and as customers shift resources to renewable energy. We expect the demand for shallow water decommissioning services in the Gulf of America to improve over time as former owners address their decommissioning obligations related to oil and gas properties that have reverted to them following bankruptcies. We expect growth in our renewables services as the global demand for energy increases and the international energy market continues offshore renewable energy developments.

Our liquidity at March 31, 2025 included $370.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $62.7 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended ABL Facility (Note 5) and excluded $28.0 million of pledged cash. Our liquidity at December 31, 2024 included $368.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $66.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended ABL Facility and excluded $5.0 million of pledged cash.
