Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix, stated, “Our third quarter operating results held steady, benefitting from the seasonally stronger summer activity in the North Sea and continued renewables site clearance activity. During the quarter, we reduced our debt with the repayment of our Term Loan and executed with our bank group a new long-term revolving credit facility that we expect will provide us working capital liquidity and manageable financial covenants. Also during the quarter, we achieved zero net debt and ended the quarter in a negative net debt position. With our vessels primarily in the spot market with limited visibility, we expect to maintain minimal net financial leverage in the near term as we prepare for increasing activity offshore. The recent strengthening in oil prices is a promising sign, but its impact on our operations has lagged, particularly in the North Sea. As the macro environment and energy sector continue to improve and stabilize, we anticipate seeing benefits mid-2022 and beyond.”

Segment Results
Well Intervention
Well Intervention revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 1%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower utilization in Brazil and lower rates in West Africa during the third quarter 2021, offset in part by higher utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. Our third quarter revenues were negatively impacted by the completion of our long-term contract in Brazil on the Siem Helix 1 in August, which subsequently commenced its regulatory dry dock during the quarter. Overall Well Intervention vessel utilization remained flat at 72% in the second and third quarters 2021. Well Intervention net loss from operations increased to $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $6.7 million in the previous quarter. The increased loss was due to lower revenues in Brazil combined with higher variable costs associated with our increased activity in the Gulf of Mexico during the third quarter.
Well Intervention revenues decreased $9.5 million, or 7%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower rates and vessel utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, offset in part by higher utilization in the North Sea and West Africa during the third quarter 2021. Our third quarter 2021 rates and utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil were negatively impacted by the completion of our long-term contracts on the Q5000 during the second quarter 2021 and the Siem Helix 1 during the third quarter 2021. Our third quarter 2021 utilization in the North Sea and West Africa benefitted from utilization on the Seawell and the Q7000, both of which were stacked during the third quarter 2020. Well Intervention vessel utilization was 72% in the third quarter 2021 compared to 68% in the third quarter 2020. Well Intervention incurred a net loss from operations of $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021compared to operating income of $18.8 million in the third quarter 2020. The decrease was due to lower segment revenues as well as higher costs associated with our resumed activity in West Africa.
Robotics
Robotics revenues increased $11.0 million, or 35%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter. The seasonally higher revenues were driven by increased vessel days and ROV activity during the third quarter. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 included 77 spot vessel days performing ROV support work for a telecom project offshore Guyana, and 99 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work compared to 61 spot vessel days on the seabed clearance work during the second quarter 2021. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 99% in the third quarter 2021, which included 358 total vessel days, compared to 93% in the second quarter 2021, which included 236 total vessel days. ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization increased to 43% in the third quarter 2021 from 36% in the previous quarter, and trenching days in the third quarter 2021 increased to 90 days compared to 84 days in the previous quarter. Robotics operating income increased $4.7 million during the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher operating costs associated with increased spot vessel days quarter over quarter.
Robotics revenues decreased $7.2 million, or 14%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. The decrease in revenues year over year was due to fewer vessel days as well as a reduction in trenching activity compared to the third quarter 2020. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 decreased to 358 compared to 450 during the third quarter 2020, with fewer days working seabed clearance. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 included 77 spot vessel days performing ROV support work for a telecom project offshore Guyana and 99 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work , compared to 196 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work and 95 spot vessel days performing other projects during the third quarter 2020. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 99% during the third quarter 2021 compared to 95% during the third quarter 2020. Total ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization was 43% in the third quarter 2021 compared to 37% in the third quarter 2020, with 90 trenching days in the third quarter 2021 compared to 154 days in the third quarter 2020. Robotics income from operations declined $2.0 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020 due to lower revenues year over year.
Production Facilities
Production Facilities revenues increased $4.3 million, or 31%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter primarily due to higher oil and gas production and prices during the third quarter 2021. Production Facilities revenues increased $4.4 million, or 31%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020 due to higher oil and gas production and prices and higher revenues from the HFRS during the third quarter 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative and Other
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.3 million, or 7.4% of revenue, in the third quarter 2021 compared to $13.4 million, or 8.3% of revenue, in the previous quarter.
Other Income and Expenses
Other expense, net was $4.0 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to other income, net of $1.0 million in the previous quarter. Other expense, net includes unrealized foreign currency losses related to the British pound, which weakened approximately 3% during the third quarter 2021.
Cash Flows
Operating cash flows were $28.7 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $52.7 million in the previous quarter and $52.6 million in the third quarter 2020. The decrease in operating cash flows quarter over quarter was primarily due to increases working capital outflows, offset in part by tax refunds of $12.4 million related to the CARES Act received during the third quarter 2021. The decrease in operating cash flows year over year was due to lower earnings, offset in part by working capital inflows, which include the tax refund related to the CARES Act received during the third quarter 2021.
Capital expenditures totaled $0.6 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $5.4 million in the previous quarter and $1.6 million in the third quarter 2020. Free cash flow was $28.1 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $47.2 million in the previous quarter and $51.4 million in the third quarter 2020. The decreases in free cash flow quarter over quarter and year over year were due primarily to lower operating cash flows in the third quarter 2021. (Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation below.)
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $237.5 million at September 30, 2021 and excluded $71.3 million of restricted cash pledged as collateral on a short-term project-related letter of credit. During the third quarter 2021, we terminated our previous credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire December 31, 2021, and entered into an $80.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”). Available capacity under our ABL facility was $69.6 million at September 30, 2021. Long-term debt decreased to $304.5 million at September 30, 2021 from $335.7 million at June 30, 2021 following our repayment of the term loan associated with our previous credit agreement. Negative net debt at September 30, 2021 was $4.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management evaluates performance and financial condition using certain non-GAAP measures, primarily EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt to book capitalization and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, gain or loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, net other income or expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-cash impairment losses on goodwill and other long-lived assets and gains and losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable. To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the gain or loss on disposition of assets and the general provision (release) for current expected credit losses, if any. In addition, we include realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, which are excluded from EBITDA as a component of net other income or expense. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt including current maturities of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Net debt to book capitalization is calculated by dividing net debt by the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets.
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future investments and acquisitions, to plan and evaluate operating budgets, and in certain cases, to report our results to the holders of our debt as required by our debt covenants. We believe that our measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provide useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow differently from the way we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead are supplemental to, income from operations, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-cash impairment losses on goodwill and other long-lived assets and gains and losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable. To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the gain or loss on disposition of assets and the general provision (release) for current expected credit losses, if any. In addition, we include realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, which are excluded from EBITDA as a component of net other income or expense. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets. We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future investments and acquisitions, to plan and evaluate operating budgets, and in certain cases, to report our results to the holders of our debt as required by our debt covenants. We believe that our measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provide useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow differently from the way we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead are supplemental to, income from operations, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures. |
