Operating Revenues. Charter revenues were $1.4 million higher in 2025 compared with 2024. Charter revenues were $7.9 million higher due to the repositioning of two vessels into the region subsequent to 2024. Charter revenues were $4.4 million lower for the vessels included in the results of this region in both comparative periods (as applicable to each region, the “Regional Core Fleet”), which consists of six vessels, due to lower utilization of 44% in 2025 compared to 49% in 2024 offset by higher average day rates of $25,065 in 2025 compared to $24,428 in 2024. Charter revenues were $2.1 million lower due to net asset dispositions. Other marine services were $0.9 million lower primarily due to lower management fees. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had one of seven owned vessels (one FSV) cold-stacked in this region compared with two of 10 vessels as of December 31, 2024.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $5.5 million lower in 2025 compared with 2024. Direct operating expenses were $12.8 million lower for the Regional Core Fleet primarily due to the timing of drydocking and repair expenditures and $4.3 million lower due to net asset dispositions. Direct operating expenses were $11.6 million higher due to the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions.

Operating Revenues. Charter revenues were $9.9 million lower in 2024 compared with 2023. Charter revenues were $16.9 million lower due to the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions, as such repositioned vessels had 58 days worked at an average day rate of $60,628 in 2024 compared to 515 days worked at an average day rate of $39,741 in 2023, as well as $0.7 million lower due to the disposition of one vessel in the third quarter of 2023. Charter revenues were $7.7 million higher for the vessels included in the results of this region in both comparative periods (as applicable to each region, the “Regional Core Fleet”), which consists of nine vessels, due to higher utilization of 81% for one liftboat with a higher than average day rate of $49,914, partially offset by lower utilization of 35% for the remainder of the vessels. Other marine services were $13.9 million lower primarily due to non-recurring business interruption insurance revenue recorded in 2023 and lower mobilization revenues and management fees in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had two of 10 owned vessels (one liftboat and one FSV) cold-stacked in this region compared with two of 11 vessels as of December 31, 2023.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses were $4.1 million higher in 2024 compared with 2023. Direct operating expenses were $10.2 million higher for the Regional Core Fleet primarily due to the timing of drydocking and repair expenditures, $3.3 million lower due to the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions and $2.8 million lower due to net asset dispositions.
