On March 7, 2023, we entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Vessels, Charter Parties and Other Assets, which was amended on June 30, 2023 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), with certain subsidiaries of Solstad Offshore ASA, a Norwegian public limited company (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from the Sellers (the “Solstad Acquisition”): (i) 37 platform supply vessels owned by the Sellers (the “Solstad Vessels”); and (ii) the charter parties governing certain of the Solstad Vessels.

Fuel and lube costs can fluctuate in any given period depending on the number and distance of vessel mobilizations, the number of active vessels off charter, drydockings, and changes in fuel prices. We also incur vessel operating costs aggregated as “other” vessel operating costs. These costs consist of brokers’ commissions, training costs, satellite communication fees, agent fees, port fees and other miscellaneous costs. Brokers’ commissions are incurred primarily in our non-United States operations where brokers sometimes assist in obtaining work. Brokers generally are paid a percentage of day rates and, accordingly, commissions paid to brokers generally fluctuate in accordance with vessel revenue.

Our business is exposed to numerous macro factors that influence our outlook and expectations given the current volatile conditions in the oil and gas industry. Our outlook and expectations described herein are based solely on the market as we see it today, and therefore, subject to various changing conditions that impact the oil and gas industry.

Previous wording
Oil and gas prices are affected by a host of geopolitical and economic forces, including the fundamental principles of supply and demand. Offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities generally require higher oil or gas prices to justify the much higher expenditure levels of offshore activities compared to onshore activities. Prices are subject to significant uncertainty and, as a result, are extremely volatile. Over the past several years, oil and gas commodity pricing has been affected by (i) a global pandemic, which included lock downs by major oil consuming nations; (ii) an ongoing war in eastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine which includes sanctions on Russian oil production; (iii) an Israeli/Palestinian conflict which has resulted in increased disruption of shipping in the Middle East due to military action from surrounding states; (iv) OPEC+ production quotas; (v) capital allocation and discipline within the major oil and gas companies which is limiting funds previously available for resource development; (vi) inflationary economies of major consuming nations; and (vii) increased activism related to the perceived responsibility of the oil and gas sector for climate change. These factors, as well as numerous regional conflicts in producing regions, have at various times caused or exacerbated significant swings in oil and gas pricing, which in turn has affected the capital budgets of oil and gas companies. Despite the volatility in spot oil prices seen in recent years, our customers tend to consider less volatile medium and long-term prices in making offshore investment decisions. We continue to see positive upstream investment momentum in both the international and domestic markets. We believe these markets are driven by resilient long-cycle offshore developments, production capacity expansions and increased exploration and development activities.

Total vessel utilization is calculated on all vessels in service (which includes stacked vessels, vessels held for sale and vessels in drydock). Active utilization is calculated on active vessels (which excludes vessels held for sale and stacked vessels). Average day rates are calculated based on total vessel days worked. Vessel operating costs per active days is calculated based on total available days less stacked days. Total vessels in service also includes vessels that are under bareboat charter but are not owned by us. These vessels are included in all of our vessel statistics. They are not included in the owned vessel count. We currently have three vessels under bareboat charter.

We may sell and/or recycle vessels when market conditions warrant and opportunities arise. We generally target older vessels or vessels that do not meet our strategic goals for sale, but may also sell vessels when approached by third parties with positive value propositions. From time to time, we have designated vessels for sale under formal assets held for sale programs. Under such programs, we designate specific vessels and actively market those vessels for sale within a year of designation. Assets held for sale are valued at the designation date at their net realizable value, and revalued, if necessary, each quarter until the vessel is sold. The majority of our vessels are sold to buyers who do not compete with us in the offshore energy industry. Vessel sales during the first three months of 2024 consisted of three vessels from our active fleet. We have no vessels classified as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2024.

We consider a vessel to be stacked if the vessel crew is furloughed or substantially reduced and limited maintenance is performed on the vessel. Although not currently fulfilling charters, stacked vessels are considered in service and included in the calculation of our utilization statistics. We include any vessel designated as assets held for sale in stacked vessels as they continue to incur stacking related costs. We had one and two stacked vessels at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in stacked vessels is attributable to a vessel sale. Total stacking costs included in vessel operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $289.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes restricted cash and amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which is available to us without adverse tax consequences. Included in foreign subsidiary cash are balances held in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies that await repatriation due to various currency conversion and repatriation constraints, partner and tax related matters. We currently expect earnings by our foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions to fund strategic initiatives (such as investment, expansion and acquisitions), fund working capital requirements and repay intercompany liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Moreover, we do not currently intend to repatriate earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. because cash generated from our domestic businesses and the repayment of intercompany liabilities from foreign subsidiaries are currently sufficient to fund the cash needs of our U.S. operations.

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain and preserve adequate financial resources and sufficient levels of liquidity. In addition to our cash on hand, we also have a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (RCF) that matures in 2026. No amounts have been drawn on this facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had $723.3 million of debt on our consolidated balance sheet, $103.0 million of which is due in the next twelve months. Working capital, which includes cash on hand, was $276.4 million at March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated $46.7 million in net income and $54.8 million in cash flow from operating activities, which includes our interest payments and drydock costs. With the closing of the Solstad Acquisition, we added substantially to our debt, including current maturities, drydock obligations and interest costs. However, we expect to generate sufficient operating income from the Solstad Vessels to meet the corresponding increase in our debt obligations.

We signed agreements for the construction of ten new vessels. Upon delivery of each vessel, we may enter into Facility Agreements to finance a portion of the construction and delivery costs. Four vessels have been delivered through March 31, 2024, and we entered into Facility Agreements for approximately EUR13.9 million ($15.2 million) in financing. Each of the four Facility Agreements bear interest at rates ranging from 2.7% to 6.3% and are payable in ten equal principal semi-annual installments, with the first installment commencing approximately six months following delivery of the vessel. Payments for the three of the four delivered vessels began in the fourth quarter of 2023 with the fourth vessel commencing in the second quarter of 2024. The Facility Agreements are secured by the vessels, guaranteed by Tidewater as parent guarantor and contain no financial covenants.
