Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| (1) | INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity of Tidewater Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “company”, “Tidewater”, “we”, “our”, or “us”.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended* December 31, 2023*, filed with the SEC on* February**29,* 2024. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented and arenot indicative of the results that* may*be expected for a full year.
Our quarterly results for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2024and financial position as of September 30, 2024and December 31, 2023as reported in this Quarterly Report on Form10Q* includes the results of an acquisition consummated in thethird quarter of2023. On* July 5, 2023,we finalized an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Vessels, Charter Parties and Other Assets, (Acquisition Agreement), with certain subsidiaries of Solstad Offshore ASA, a Norwegian public limited company (collectively, the Sellers), pursuant to which we acquired from the Sellers (Solstad Acquisition): (i)37 platform supply vessels owned by the Sellers (Solstad Vessels); and (ii) the charter parties governing certain of the Solstad Vessels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $594.2 million. The purchase price was funded through a combination of cash on hand and net proceeds from both the Senior Secured Term Loan and the 10.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 2028.*See “Note (8) Debt” for additional disclosure on these debt instruments. The results of operations associated with the Solstad Vessels are included in our results of operations from the date of the Acquisition Agreement.
We determined that, under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC)805, substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in similar identifiable assets and accordingly, the Solstad Acquisition is considered an asset acquisition. The cost of the asset acquisition was primarily allocated to Net Properties and Equipment in our consolidated balance sheet on the date of the Acquisition Agreement, with the remaining cost allocated, on that date, to various other individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. Under this basis of presentation, our financial statements consolidate all subsidiaries (entities in which we have a controlling financial interest), and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We use the equity method to account for equity investments over which we exercise significant influence but donot exercise control and arenot the primary beneficiary.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise specified, all per share information included in this document is on a diluted basis.
| (2) | RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In* November 2023,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2023-07, Segment Reporting, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis including significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024.*We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, Income Taxes, which requires a greater disaggregation of information in the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction to improve the transparency of the income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2024.*We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

| (3) | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES |
Expected credit losses are recognized on the initial recognition of our trade accounts receivable and contract assets. In each subsequent reporting period, even if a loss hasnot yet been incurred, credit losses are recognized based on the history of credit losses and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability. We utilize a model to estimate the expected credit losses applicable to our trade accounts receivable and contract assets. This model considers our historical performance and the economic environment, as well as the credit risk and its expected development for each segmented group of customers that share similar risk characteristics. It is our practice to write off receivables when all legal options for collection have been exhausted.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses for thenine months ended* September 30, 2024* is as follows:
| Trade | |
|---|---|

| (6) | INCOME TAXES |
Income tax rates and taxation systems in the jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries conduct business vary and our subsidiaries are frequently subjected to minimum taxation regimes. In some jurisdictions, tax liabilities are based on gross revenues, statutory deemed profits or other factors, rather than on net income. We use a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for interim periods instead of applying the annual effective tax rate to an estimate of the full fiscal year due to the level of volatility and unpredictability of earnings in our industry, both overall and by jurisdiction.
For thenine months ended* September 30, 2024*, income tax expense reflects tax liabilities in various jurisdictions based on either revenue (deemed profit regimes) or pre-tax profits.
The tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are primarily attributable to permanent establishment issues related to foreign jurisdictions, subpart F income inclusions and withholding taxes on foreign services. Penalties and interest related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. Income tax payable is included in other current liabilities.
As of* December 31, 2023*, our balance sheet reflected approximately $589.5 million of net deferred tax assets prior to a valuation allowance of $591.7 million. As of* September 30, 2024*, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $569.0 million prior to a valuation allowance of $571.3 million. The net deferred tax assets as of* September 30, 2024* include $62.4 million of deferred tax assets from the2022 Swire Pacific Offshore acquisition offset by a valuation allowance of $62.4 million.
Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to permit use of existing deferred tax assets.
With limited exceptions, we areno longer subject to tax audits by U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities for years prior to* March 2017.We are subject to ongoing examinations by various foreign tax authorities and donot* believe that the results of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan (pension plan) that was frozen in2010 covering certain U.S. employees. We havenot made contributions to the pension plan since2019.

During thesecond quarter of2023, we, as sponsor of the pension plan, entered into an agreement committing the pension plan to use a portion of its assets to purchase an annuity from an insurance company (Insurer) to transfer approximately $11.8 million of the pension plan’s pension liabilities. Under the terms of this agreement, we irrevocably transferred to the Insurer all future pension plan benefit obligations for approximately500 Tidewater participants (Transferred Participants) effective in* April 2023.This annuity transaction was funded entirely with existing pension plan assets. The Insurer assumed responsibility for administrative and customer service support, including distribution of payments to the Transferred Participants.

| (9) | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Currency Devaluation and Fluctuation Risk
Due to our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. For some of our international contracts, a portion of the revenue and local expenses are incurred in local currencies with the result that we are at risk for changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. We generally donot hedge against any foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with foreign currency contracts that arise in the normal course of business, which exposes us to the risk of exchange rate losses. To minimize the financial impact of these items, we attempt to contract a significant majority of our services in U.S. dollars. In addition, we attempt to minimize the financial impact of these risks by matching the currency of our operating costs with the currency of our revenue streams when considered appropriate. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contractsnot denominated in U.S. dollars.
Legal Proceedings
We are named defendants or parties in certain lawsuits, claims or proceedings incidental to our business and involved from time to time as parties to governmental investigations or proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, we donot expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
| (10) | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Other Financial Instruments
Our primary financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and trade payables with book values that are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. The carrying value for cash equivalents is considered to be representative of its fair value due to the short duration and conservative nature of the cash equivalent investment portfolio. In thesecond quarter of2022, we agreed with PEMEX, the Mexican national oil company, to exchange $8.6 million in accounts receivable for an equal face amount ofseven-year 8.75% PEMEX corporate bonds (PEMEX Note). In2024, $2.2 million of the PEMEX Note were sold for approximately $2.2 million. The PEMEX Notes are classified as “available for sale.” For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2024*, we recorded $0.1 and $0.3 million, respectively, in mark-to-market gains in other comprehensive income, valuing the PEMEX Notes at $6.4 million in our consolidated balance sheet, which is both its amortized cost and approximate fair value, as of* September 30, 2024*. The PEMEX Notes mark-to-market valuations are considered to be Level2.
