B. POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
GENERAL
The Power Generation Systems and Equipment segment provides engineered products
and services for energy conversion worldwide. The segment supplies
individually engineered boilers, complete fossil fuel steam generating systems
and related equipment and facilities, and environmental control systems for
electric power generation and for industrial processes. It is also engaged in
the erection of electric power plants and industrial facilities and the repair
and alteration of such existing equipment. This segment provides replacement
parts and engineered plant enhancements for existing fossil fuel steam
generating systems and specially engineered accessories and components, such as
air heaters and cleaning systems for heat transfer surfaces. It also supplies
air- cooled and condensing heat exchangers for the process and power
industries.
This segment is actively involved in the market for providing power through
cogeneration, refuse-fueled power plants and other independent power producing
plants. It is participating in this market as an equipment supplier, as an
operations and maintenance contractor and through ownership interests.
The Power Generation Systems and Equipment segment provides nuclear fuel
assemblies and nuclear reactor components to the U. S. Navy for the Naval
Reactors Program. Revenues from the U. S. Government related to this activity
were approximately 10%, 9% and 8% of McDermott International's total revenues
for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This activity has made
significant contributions to the operating income of McDermott International in
all three fiscal years. B&W, in addition to its Naval Reactors Program
business, is a supplier of ordnance, missile and torpedo metal parts and other
equipment and services to the U. S. Government and is proceeding with new,
non-defense Government projects and exploring new programs which require the
technological capabilities it developed as a Government contractor for the
Naval Reactors Program. U. S. Government budget reductions, including the
cancellation of the advanced solid rocket motor and super conducting super
collider projects in prior years, have negatively affected this segment's
government operations.
B&W is a major supplier of nuclear steam generating equipment, including
critical heat exchangers and replacement recirculating steam generators, in the
Canadian, U. S. and international markets, primarily from its Cambridge,
Ontario location. Although no new contracts for nuclear steam generating
systems have been awarded in the United States for a number of years, this
facility was awarded contracts during fiscal years 1993 and 1995 valued at
approximately $430,000,000 to supply replacement recirculating steam generators
to four domestic utilities through fiscal year 1999. B&W also supplies field
repair and refurbishment services to the Canadian and international markets
from this location.
The principal plants of this segment, which are owned by B&W, are located at
Indianapolis, Indiana; West Point, Mississippi; Barberton and Lancaster, Ohio;
Beasley and Paris, Texas; Lynchburg, Virginia; and Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
Less than majority- owned (equity investees) foreign plants are located in
China, Indonesia, India and Egypt. All these plants are well maintained, have
suitable equipment and are of adequate size.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The amounts of Power Generation Systems and Equipment's revenues, including
intersegment revenues, and segment operating income derived from operations
outside of the United States, and the approximate percentages of those revenues
and segment operating income to McDermott International's total revenues and
total segment operating income, respectively, follow:
REVENUES SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME
FISCAL YEAR AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT
(Dollars in Thousands)
1995 $ 521,657 17% $ 36,354 56%
1994 372,727 12% 30,362 32%
1993 246,181 8% 11,107 9%
B&W primarily conducts its foreign business from its Cambridge, Ontario
location, which also serves the United States market. Products for
international installation are engineered and built in B&W's United States and
Canadian facilities, as well as in the facilities of less than majority-owned
joint venture companies (equity investees) in China, Indonesia, India and
Egypt.
RAW MATERIALS
The principal raw materials used by this segment to construct power generation
systems and equipment consist of carbon and alloy steels in various forms, such
as plate, forgings, structurals, bars, sheet, strip, heavy wall pipe and tubes.
Significant amounts of components and accessories are also purchased for
assembly for supplied systems and equipment. These raw materials and
components generally are purchased as needed for individual contracts.
Although shortages of certain of these raw materials have existed from time to
time, no serious shortage exists at the present time. In addition, this
segment is not sole source dependent for any significant raw materials except
for the uranium for the nuclear fuel assemblies supplied to the Naval Reactors
Program, which is furnished and owned by the U.S. Government.
CUSTOMERS AND COMPETITION
The principal customers of this segment are the electric power generation
industry (including government-owned utilities and independent power
producers), the U. S. Government (including its contractors), and the pulp and
paper and other process industries such as oil refineries and steel mills; and
other industries and institutions. The electric power generation industry
accounted for approximately 30%, 26% and 18% of McDermott International's total
revenues for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. U. S. Government
business with
4
9
this segment, excluding government-owned utilities, accounted for approximately
12%, 13% and 12% of McDermott International's total revenues for such periods.
Steam generating system orders are customarily awarded after competitive bids
have been submitted as proposals based on the estimated cost of each job.
Within the United States, a number of domestic and foreign based companies,
specializing in steam generating systems, equipment and services, compete with
B&W in the fossil fuel steam generating system business. In international
markets, these companies plus additional foreign-based companies compete with
B&W. B&W also manufactures and sells components such as replacement
recirculating steam generators, which are incorporated into nuclear steam
generating systems designed by other firms. In the sale of these nuclear steam
generating systems, B&W competes with a small number of companies. A number of
companies are in competition with B&W in environmental control equipment,
related specialized industrial equipment and the independent power producing
business. Other suppliers of fossil fuel steam systems, as well as many other
businesses, compete for replacement parts, repair and alteration, and other
services required to backfit and maintain existing systems.
In regard to the Naval Reactors Program, B&W is the sole supplier of nuclear
fuel assemblies and reactor components to the U. S. Navy. In May 1995, B&W
was awarded new orders for aircraft carrier components and prototypical steam
generation equipment for the newest submarine design. B&W is the sole supplier
to the U.S. Navy for all major nuclear steam system equipment for the Naval
Reactors Program. There are a small number of suppliers of small nuclear
components with B&W being the largest based on revenues.
BACKLOG
Backlog as of March 31, 1995 and 1994 for the Power Generation Systems and
Equipment segment was $2,058,215,000 and $2,398,285,000, or approximately 58%
and 69%, respectively, of McDermott International's backlog. Of the March 31,
1995 backlog, it is expected that approximately $1,012,915,000 will be
recognized in revenues in fiscal year 1996, $528,242,000 in fiscal year 1997
and $517,058,000 thereafter, of which approximately 71% will be recognized in
fiscal years 1998 through 2000. At March 31, 1995 this segment's backlog with
the U. S. Government was $631,578,000 (of which $21,607,000 had not yet been
funded), or approximately 18% of McDermott International's total backlog.
During fiscal year 1995, B&W was awarded a $155,000,000 contract from China
National Machinery Import & Export Corporation to supply two 600-megawatt
coal-fired boilers and auxiliary equipment for the Yangzhou Power Plant Project
in Yangzhou City, The People's Republic of China. In addition, in fiscal year
1995, B&W was also awarded a $150,000,000 contract from Israel Electric Company
to supply two 550-megawatt coal-fired boilers for the Rutenburg Station at
Ashkelon, Israel. Also during fiscal year 1995, B&W was awarded a $150,000,000
contract from Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago, Illinois to design,
manufacture and supply eight nuclear steam generators. In addition, during
fiscal year 1995, B&W obtained a letter of award amounting to $100,000,000 for
the engineering, procurement and construction of a power station in Pakistan's
Punjab province. The plant will consist of one 480- megawatt oil-fired steam
generator and a steam turbine generator.

10
If in management's judgment it becomes doubtful whether contracts will proceed,
the backlog is adjusted accordingly. If contracts are deferred or cancelled,
B&W is usually entitled to a financial settlement related to the individual
circumstances of the contract. Operations and maintenance contracts, which are
performed over an extended period, are included in backlog based upon an
estimate of the revenues from these contracts.
B&W attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes in labor, material
and service costs of long-term contracts either through an estimation of such
changes, which is reflected in the original price, or through price escalation
clauses. Most long- term contracts have provisions for progress payments.
FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND
Electric utilities in Asia and the Middle East are active purchasers of large,
new baseload generating units, due to the rapid growth of their economies and
to the small existing stock of electrical generating capacity in most
developing countries. These newly-emerging economies need power and steam
generating systems, equipment and services to build their industrial base.
Electrical consumption has grown moderately in the United States in recent
years. Electric utilities have deferred ordering large, new baseload units
because of continuing uncertainties over fuel prices, rate regulation and
environmental rules. When electric utilities are in need of peaking capacity,
many are purchasing combustion turbines with short lead-times or they are
purchasing electricity from other utilities and non-regulated sources, such as
cogenerators and independent power producers.
The current competitive economic environment for the electric power industry in
the United States has intensified, as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
has begun to implement the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which
deregulated the electric power generation industry by allowing independent
power producers and other companies access to its transmission and distribution
systems, and the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 have caused U. S. utilities
to defer ordering large new baseload power plants and to defer repairs and
refurbishments on existing plants. Most electric utilities have already
purchased equipment to comply with Phase I of the Clean Air Act, and many will
defer purchases of new equipment to comply with Phase II deadlines until after
the turn of the century.
Steam generation equipment is purchased most frequently by firms in the
energy-intensive industries, including pulp and paper, oil refining, chemicals
and primary metals. In addition, environmental regulations have required the
oil refining, pulp and paper, chemicals, and utility industries to invest in
pollution control equipment, which has limited the investment available for
additional steam generation capacity. These factors and the current economic
environment have affected demand for industrial- related product lines and
these markets are expected to remain very competitive.
With the maturing of the U. S. Navy's shipbuilding program and U. S. Government
defense budget reductions, the demand for nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor
components for the U. S. Navy has been declining since the mid-1980's.
However, B&W became the sole source provider of these assemblies in fiscal year
1991, and supplies nuclear fuel assemblies due to reload requirements. The
backlog of orders for U. S. Navy nuclear fuel assemblies and nuclear
6
11
reactor components comprised a substantial portion of this segment's backlog
with the U. S. Government at March 31, 1995 and this activity is expected to
continue to be a significant, but declining, part of such backlog. Also, U. S.
Government budget reductions, including the cancellation of the advanced solid
rocket motor and super conducting super collider projects, in prior years, have
negatively affected this segment's other government operations.
B&W has applied its technological capabilities by supplying new products for
power generation applications. It has diversified into new markets and
activities not related to power generation that require complex engineering and
machining. Examples of these markets include environmental restoration
services, computer integrated manufacturing products and services, and the
management of government owned facilities. Currently, B&W manages and operates
a government-owned facility at the Department of Energy's Idaho National
Engineering Laboratory and beginning July 1, 1995, will participate in the
management and operation of the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site near
Denver, Colorado with six other companies.
C. MARINE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
GENERAL
On January 31, 1995, McDermott International contributed substantially all of
its marine construction services business to JRM, a new company incorporated
under the laws of the Republic of Panama in 1994. Also, on January 31, 1995,
JRM acquired Offshore Pipelines, Inc. (the "Merger"), pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of June 2, 1994, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"). Prior to the Merger with Offshore Pipelines, Inc. ("OPI"), JRM
was a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott International; as a result of the
Merger, JRM is a majority owned subsidiary of McDermott International. The
business activities of this segment are conducted primarily through JRM.
The Marine Construction Services segment consists of the design, construction
and installation of specialized offshore fixed platforms and marine pipelines
used for development drilling, production and transportation of oil and gas.
Marine Construction Services also includes engineering and construction
services for oil production in shoreline and marshland areas (principally in
Louisiana and Texas); the engineering and construction of processing plants for
the oil, gas and hydrocarbon processing and mineral industries; the provision
of subsea and trenching services; the removal of offshore fixed platforms
(principally in the Gulf of Mexico); and vessel chartering operations,
principally to McDermott International's joint ventures. This segment's
shipyard facility supplies complete maintenance and construction facilities and
is a builder of a variety of marine vessels, including ferries, barges,
tugboats, container ships, bulk carriers, and other specialized vessels.
Fixed platforms, which are fastened to the seafloor by pilings driven through
their structural legs, have been installed by McDermott International in water
depths of more than 1,000 feet. These platforms have been engineered to
withstand increasingly greater weights and stresses as the search for oil and
gas has expanded into deeper water and into areas subject to severe weather
conditions. In addition, this segment is capable of fabricating and installing
tension-leg platforms, floating production systems and subsea templates.

12
In order to compete effectively in markets with overcapacity for offshore
marine construction equipment, JRM participates in joint ventures with other
marine contractors. JRM owns 50% of the HeereMac joint venture, formed with
Heerema Offshore Construction Group, Inc., to provide heavy-lift marine
installation services to the petroleum industry on a worldwide basis,
especially in harsh environments. Each party charters to the joint venture, on
a long-term basis, 2 semi-submersible derrick barges, with the largest being
McDermott International's Derrick Barge 102 ("DB-102") with a lift capacity of
13,200 tons. During March 1995, JRM contributed the DB100 semi-submersible
derrick barge and sold the DB51 to the joint venture.
JRM's joint venture with ETPM S.A. ("McDermott-ETPM") provides general marine
construction services to the petroleum industry in the Middle East, India, West
Africa and South America; it also provides offshore marine installation
services in the North Sea. JRM owns 67.2% of McDermott-ETPM East and 49.9% of
McDermott-ETPM West. McDermott-ETPM East operates in the Middle East and
India; and McDermott-ETPM West operates in the North Sea, West Africa and South
America. McDermott-ETPM utilizes 3 combination derrick- pipelaying barges and
1 semi-submersible lay barge which are owned by JRM. JRM also provides
fabrication facilities located at Jebel Ali and Ras-al-Khaimah in the U.A.E.,
and at Warri, Nigeria. ETPM S.A. charters to this joint venture 4 combination
derrick- pipelaying barges and provides fabrication facilities at Sharjah,
U.A.E. and Tchengue, Gabon.
On March 31, 1995, JRM and ETPM S.A. signed a preliminary agreement to
restructure this joint venture. The preliminary agreement calls for the
expansion of the joint venture into the Far East, the Mediterranean Sea, and
all of Africa and for ETPM S.A. to take a minority interest in a new JRM subsea
company. Final agreements are expected in the summer of 1995, subject to any
necessary government approvals or authorizations.
JRM also participates in a joint venture with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.
The joint venture was formed for the purpose of jointly pursuing marine
construction projects in India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Far
East. The joint venture, formed in September 1992, has a limited life of ten
years. JRM charters one derrick barge to the joint venture for the life of the
joint venture.
JRM has also established joint ventures in which it has a 49% interest in
Malaysia with Renong Berhad, a Malaysian industrial conglomerate and in Mexico
with CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S.A. de C.V., a marine construction
company. It also has a 70% interest a joint venture established in Angola with
Sociedade Nacional de Combustiveis de Angola, the Angolan state owned oil
company.
McDermott International also owns a 49% interest in another Mexican joint
venture, Construcciones Maritimas Mexicanas, that operates 2 self-propelled
combination derrick-pipelaying barges (1 capable of lifting 2,000 tons) and 1
pipelaying barge.
The Marine Construction Services segment has its principal domestic fabrication
yard and offshore base located on approximately 1,114 acres of land, under
lease, near Morgan City, Louisiana. This segment also owns a fabrication yard
on approximately 218 acres of land in Nueces County, Texas, and operates
fabrication yards on leased property in Indonesia at Batam Island and on
company-owned property in Scotland, near Inverness. The property in Scotland
is operated by Brown and Root McDermott Fabricators Limited, an equally owned
joint venture company formed by JRM and Halliburton Company's Brown and Root
Energy
8
13
Services business unit in February 1995. Halliburton's yard at Nigg in
Scotland is also operated by this joint venture. This segment also operates a
shipyard on approximately 58 acres of leased land near Morgan City.
The equipment used at these yards, which is capable of fabricating a full range
of offshore structures, consists principally of cranes, welding equipment,
machine tools, and robotic and other automated equipment, in addition to other
fabrication equipment, most of which is movable.
Expiration dates, including renewal options, of leases covering land for the
shipyard and fabrication yards, follow:
Ras-al-Khaimah, U.A.E. Year 1994
Morgan City, Louisiana Years 2001-2032
Jebel Ali, U.A.E. Year 2005
Batam Island, Indonesia Year 2008
Onne, Nigeria Year 2014
Warri, Nigeria Year 2065
McDermott International expects to renew the lease at Ras-al-Khaimah, U.A.E.,
which is negotiated on an annual basis.
JRM owns the largest fleet of marine equipment used in major offshore
construction. The nucleus of a "construction spread" is a large derrick barge,
pipelaying barge or combination derrick-pipelaying barge capable of offshore
operations for an extended period of time in remote locations. These barges,
which range in length from 180 feet to 677 feet, are fully equipped with
revolving cranes, auxiliary cranes, welding equipment, pile driving hammers,
anchor winches and a variety of additional gear. The largest of these vessels
are the DB-102, which is one of the world's largest semi-submersible derrick
barges in both size and lifting capacity and provides quarters for
approximately 750 workers, and a semi-submersible lay barge capable of laying
60-inch diameter pipe (including concrete coating) and operating in water
depths of up to 2,000 feet. The HeereMac joint venture has used the DB-102 for
a lift of 10,700 tons, a record module lift in the North Sea. This segment has
also installed one of the deepest pipelines in over 1,400-ft. waters in the
Gulf of Mexico.

McDermott International also owns or leases a substantial number of other
vessels, such as tugboats, utility boats and cargo barges to support the major
marine vessels. In connection with its construction and pipelaying activities,
this segment conducts diving operations which, because of the water depths
involved, require sophisticated equipment, including diving bells and an
underwater habitat.
During June 1993, the Delaware Company acquired a controlling interest in Delta
Catalytic Corporation ("DCC") in the first step of a two step transaction. The
Delaware Company and DCC of Calgary, Alberta, have reached an agreement which
accelerates from fiscal year 1997 to June 1995, the Delaware Company's purchase
of the remaining portion of DCC. DCC provides engineering, procurement,
construction and maintenance services to industries worldwide; including oil,
gas, marine construction and hydrocarbon processing.
During fiscal year 1992, McDermott International, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and
Marathon Oil Company formed a consortium to pursue and acquire hydrocarbon
rights and the right to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons in certain
oil and gas fields lying offshore Sakhalin Island, Russian Federation. In
fiscal year 1993, Shell Development Sakhalin B.V. and Mitsubishi Corporation
joined the consortium specifically to pursue the development of the Piltun
Astohskoye and Lunskoye fields. In fiscal year 1995, a Production Sharing
Contract ("PSC") was entered into by these parties and a new company, Sakhalin
Energy Investment Company, Ltd., was formed to represent the consortium's
interest in the Piltun Astohskoye and Lunskoye fields development. The
consortium is awaiting approval by the Russian Government of this PSC.
Also, in June 1993, McDermott International, Amoco Caspian Sea Petroleum
Company, BP Exploration (Caspian Sea) Limited/Den Norske Oljeselskap a.s.,
Pennzoil Caspian Corporation/Ramco Energy Limited, Unocal Khazar Limited and
Turkish Petroleum Corporation
11
16
agreed to a declaration promulgated by the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan
Republic ("SOCAR") providing for the joint development of the Guneshli, Chirag
and Azeri fields by all the companies. In September 1994, a Production
Sharing Agreement ("PSA") was signed by the oil companies, SOCAR, and the
Azerbaijan President and ratified by the Azeri government in November 1994, and
Azerbaijan International Operating Company was formed by the oil companies to
serve as the operator for the development. Delta Nimir Khazar Limited and
LUKoil Joint Stock Company have also become participants in the PSA.
In May 1994, McDermott International and SOCAR announced agreements to form two
joint ventures, both of which will be located in or near Baku, Azerbaijan. The
joint venture MacShelf Marine Construction Company, Ltd. will provide
engineering, procurement, and marine and onshore construction services to the
oil and gas industry in the Caspian Sea region. The other joint venture,
MacDock Shipyard Company, Ltd., will repair, upgrade and maintain vessels and
drill rigs. Both joint ventures are currently negotiating work in the Caspian
Sea region. The joint ventures are currently negotiating with the Azerbaijan
International Operating Company for work in the Chirag fields.
During fiscal year 1994, McDermott International and the JSC Amur Shipbuilding
Plant announced the formation of two joint ventures for marine construction,
shipbuilding and the fabrication of ship components at the Amur shipyard in the
Khabarovsk Region of the Russian Far East. The joint venture McAmur
Construction Services Company will provide fabrication services for marine
construction projects in the Russian Far East. The second joint venture,
McAmur Shipbuilding Company, will market the shipbuilding and ship component
fabrication capabilities of the Amur shipyard on a world-wide basis. The
shipyard is located in the city of Komsomolsk on the Amur River and is the
largest shipyard in the Russian Far East. These two joint ventures have not
yet begun operations.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The amount of Marine Construction Services' revenues, including intersegment
revenues, and segment operating income derived from operations outside of the
United States, and the approximate percentages of those revenues and segment
operating income to McDermott International's total revenues and total segment
operating income, respectively, follow:
REVENUES SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME
FISCAL YEAR AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT
(Dollars in thousands)
1995 $ 1,021,986 34% $ 67,812 104%
1994 1,076,610 35% 51,026 54%
1993 1,269,290 40% 59,756 48%
Revenues and segment operating income presented above do not include the
operating results of this segment's less than majority- owned joint ventures
(equity investees), which include HeereMac, McDermott-ETPM West, Offshore
Hyundai International, Ltd., CCC Fabricaciones
12
17
y Construcciones, S.A. de C.V. and its Malaysian joint venture. Equity income
recognized from the Heeremac and McDermott-ETPM West joint ventures contributed
substantially to this segment's results during fiscal years 1994 and 1993. In
fiscal year 1995, the contribution from these joint ventures was significantly
less compared to the prior two fiscal years due to lower volume and margins.
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used by this segment, such as carbon and alloy steel in
various forms, welding gases, concrete, fuel oil and gasoline, are available
from many sources and this segment is not dependent upon any single supplier or
source. Although shortages of certain of these raw materials and fuels have
existed from time to time, no serious shortage exists at the present time.
CUSTOMERS AND COMPETITION
This segment's principal customers are oil and gas companies (including foreign
government owned companies). Customers generally contract with this segment
for the design, construction and installation of specific platforms, pumping
stations, marine pipelines, and production networks and the construction of
marine vessels. Contracts are usually awarded on a competitive bid basis.
There are a number of companies which compete effectively with McDermott
International, HeereMac, McDermott-ETPM and its various other joint ventures
in each of the separate marine construction phases in various parts of the
world.
BACKLOG
As of March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Marine Construction Services' backlog
amounted to $1,510,117,000 and $1,054,142,000, or approximately 42% and 31%,
respectively, of McDermott International's total backlog. Backlog at March 31,
1995 was up from the level of backlog at March 1994, due principally to a
contract award from Britoil for the Atlantic Frontier Programme Development of
Foinaven Phase One facility. Of the March 31, 1995 backlog, it is expected
that approximately $980,384,000 will be recognized in revenues in fiscal year
1996, $400,314,000 in fiscal year 1997 and $129,419,000 thereafter.
Not included in Marine Construction Services' backlog at March 31, 1995 and
1994 was backlog relating to contracts to be performed by unconsolidated
foreign joint ventures of approximately $1,014,000,000 and $840,000,000,
respectively.
Work is performed on a fixed price, cost plus or day rate basis or combination
thereof. This segment attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes
in labor, material and service costs of long-term contracts either through an
estimation of such changes, which is reflected in the original price, or
through price escalation clauses. Most long-term contracts have provisions
for progress payments.
13
18
FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND
The activity of the Marine Construction Services' segment depends mainly on the
capital expenditures of oil and gas companies and foreign governments for
developmental construction. These expenditures are influenced by the selling
price of oil and gas along with the cost of production and delivery, the terms
and conditions of offshore leases, the discovery rates of new reserves
offshore, the ability of the oil and gas industry to raise capital, and local
and international political and economic conditions.
Oil company exploration and production budgets in calendar year 1995 are
moderately higher than 1994 expenditures. Both domestic and international
areas are expected to increase, although domestic will rise at a slower rate.
World oil prices in calendar year 1994 were below those in 1993. This has had a
negative impact on near term marine construction activities. World oil prices
in calendar year 1995 are expected to be somewhat higher than those in 1994.
The composite spot price for natural gas in the United States was substantially
lower in calendar year 1994 than in 1993 and had continued to decline through
May 1995.
This segment's markets are expected to be at a low level in the U. S. during
fiscal year 1996 while international markets are varied. In all areas, the
overcapacity of marine equipment will continue to result in a competitive
environment and put pressure on profit margins.
D. PATENTS AND LICENSES
Many U. S. and foreign patents have been issued to McDermott International and
it has many pending patent applications. Patents and licenses have been
acquired and licenses have been granted to others when advantageous to
McDermott International. While McDermott International regards its patents and
licenses to be of value, no single patent or license or group of related
patents or licenses is believed to be material in relation to its business as a
whole.
E. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
McDermott International conducts its principal research and development
activities at its research centers in Alliance, Ohio and Lynchburg, Virginia;
and also conducts development activities at its various manufacturing plants
and engineering and design offices. During the fiscal years ended March 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, approximately $64,145,000, $69,148,000 and $61,541,000,
respectively, was spent by McDermott International on research and development
activities, of which approximately $44,240,000, $48,112,000 and $42,082,000,
respectively, was paid for by customers of McDermott International. Research
and development activities were related to development and improvement of new
and existing products and equipment and conceptual and engineering evaluation
for translation into practical applications. McDermott International's new
multi-million dollar clean environment development facility in Alliance, Ohio
was completed during fiscal year 1995. The facility was constructed in
response to present and future emission pollution standards in the U. S. and
worldwide. Approximately 311 employees were engaged full time in research and
development activities at March 31, 1995.
14

F. INSURANCE
McDermott International maintains liability and property insurance that it
considers normal in the industry. However, certain risks are either not
insurable or insurance is available only at rates which McDermott International
considers uneconomical. Among such risks are war and confiscation of property
in certain areas of the world, pollution liability in excess of relatively low
limits and, in recent years, asbestos liability. Depending on competitive
conditions and other factors, McDermott International endeavors to obtain
contractual protection against uninsured risks from its customers.
McDermott International's insurance policies do not insure against liability
and property damage losses resulting from nuclear accidents at reactor
facilities of its utility customers. To protect against liability for damage
to customer's property, McDermott International has obtained waivers of
subrogation from the customer and its insurer and is generally named as an
additional insured under the utility customer's nuclear property policy. To
protect against liability from claims brought by third parties, McDermott
International is insured under the utility customer's nuclear liability
policies and has the benefit of the indemnity and limitation of any applicable
liability provision of the Price-Anderson Act, as amended (the "Act"). The Act
limits the public liability of manufacturers and operators of licensed nuclear
facilities and other parties who may be liable in respect of, and indemnifies
them against, all claims in excess of an amount which is determined by the sum
of commercially available liability insurance plus certain retrospective
premium assessments payable by operators of commercial nuclear reactors. For
those sites where McDermott International provides environmental remediation
services, it seeks the same protection from its customers as it does for its
other nuclear activities.
Although McDermott International does not own or operate any nuclear reactors,
it has coverage under commercially available nuclear liability and property
insurance for four of its five facilities which are licensed to maintain
special nuclear materials. The fifth facility operates primarily as a
conventional research center. However, this facility is licensed to possess
special nuclear material and has a small and limited amount of special nuclear
material on the premises. Two of the four owned facilities are located at
McDermott International's Lynchburg, Virginia site. These facilities are
insured under a nuclear liability policy which also insures the facility of B&W
Fuel Company ("BWFC") that was sold during fiscal year 1993. All three
facilities share the same nuclear liability insurance limit as the commercial
insurer would not allow BWFC to obtain a separate nuclear liability insurance
policy. Due to the type or quantity of nuclear material present, two of the
five facilities have the benefit of the indemnity and limitation of liability
provisions of the Act, pursuant to agreements entered into with the U. S.
Government. In addition, contracts to manufacture and supply nuclear fuel or
nuclear components to the U. S. Government generally contain contractual
indemnity clauses, which become effective at the time of shipment, whereby the
U. S. Government has assumed the risks of public liability claims.
McDermott International's offshore construction business is subject to the
usual risks of operations at sea, with additional exposure due to the
utilization of expensive construction equipment, sometimes under extreme
weather conditions, often in remote areas of the world. In addition, McDermott
International operates in many cases on or in proximity to existing
15
20
offshore facilities which are subject to damage by McDermott International and
such damage could result in the escape of oil and gas into the sea.
The insurance coverage of McDermott International for products liability and
employers' liability claims is subject to varying insurance limits which are
dependent upon the year involved. The Babcock & Wilcox Company has an
agreement with a majority of its principal insurers concerning the method of
allocation of products liability asbestos claim payments to the years of
coverage. Pursuant to the agreement, The Babcock & Wilcox Company negotiates
and settles these claims and bills these amounts to the appropriate insurers.
For financial reporting purposes, a provision has been recognized to the extent
that recovery of these amounts from McDermott International's insurers has not
been determined to be probable. Estimated liabilities for pending and future
non- employee products liability asbestos claims are derived from McDermott
International's claims history and constitute management's best estimate of
such future costs. Estimated insurance recoveries are based upon analysis of
insurers providing coverage of the estimated liabilities. Inherent in the
estimate of such liabilities and recoveries are expected trends in claim
severity and frequency and other factors, including recoverability from
insurers, which may vary significantly as claims are filed and settled.
Accordingly, the ultimate loss may differ materially from the amount provided
in the consolidated financial statements.
McDermott International has two wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. To date,
these subsidiaries have written policies concerning general and automobile
liability, builders' risk within certain limits, marine hull, and workers'
compensation for McDermott International, Inc. and its subsidiaries. No
significant amounts of insurance have been written for unrelated parties.
G. EMPLOYEES
At March 31, 1995, McDermott International employed, under its direct
supervision approximately 25,200 persons compared with 25,900 at March 31,
1994. Approximately 4,600 employees were members of labor unions at March 31,
1995 as compared with approximately 5,000 at March 31, 1994. The majority of
B&W's manufacturing facilities operate under union contracts which customarily
are renewed every two to three years. During the next twelve months, six
contracts covering approximately 2,100 of B&W's hourly workers will expire.
B&W expects to renew these contracts successfully, without incident. McDermott
International considers its relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.
H. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND MATTERS
Like other companies, McDermott International is subject to the existing and
evolving standards relating to the environment. McDermott International's
compliance with U. S. federal, state and local environmental protection
regulations necessitated capital expenditures of $1,318,000 in fiscal year
1995, and it expects to spend another $4,830,000 on capital expenditures over
the next five years. However, McDermott International cannot predict all of
the environmental requirements or circumstances which will exist in the future
but it anticipates that environmental control standards will become
increasingly stringent and costly. Complying with existing environmental
regulations resulted in a charge against income before
16
21
taxes of approximately $10,002,000 in fiscal year 1995 (excluding a provision
for the decontamination and decommissioning relating to the closing of certain
of its nuclear manufacturing facilities described below).
McDermott International has been identified as a potentially responsible party
at various cleanup sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, as amended. McDermott International has not
been determined to be a major contributor of wastes to these sites. However,
each potentially responsible party or contributor may face assertions of joint
and several liability. Generally, however, a final allocation of costs is made
based on relative contribution of wastes to each site. Based on its relative
contribution of waste to each site, McDermott International's share of the
ultimate liability for the various sites is not expected to have a material
effect on McDermott International's consolidated financial position.
Remediation projects have been or may be undertaken at certain of McDermott
International's current and former plant sites, and, during fiscal year 1995,
B&W completed subject to Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") certification,
the decommissioning and decontamination of its former nuclear fuel processing
plant at Apollo, Pennsylvania. All fabrication and support buildings have been
removed, and virtually all contaminated soil has been shipped to authorized
disposal facilities. B&W is in the final stage of obtaining approval from the
NRC to have the site released for unrestricted use.
During the March 1995 quarter, a decision was made to close certain of its
nuclear manufacturing facilities, and a provision of $41,724,000 for the
decontamination, decommissioning and the closing of these facilities was
recognized immediately. Previously, decontamination and decommissioning costs
were being accrued over the facilities' remaining expected life.
Decontamination will proceed as permitted by the existing NRC license, while
funding support will be sought and a decommissioning plan will be submitted for
review and approval as required by the NRC. B&W expects to have reached
agreement with the NRC in fiscal 1997 on the plan that will provide for the
completion of facilities dismantlement and soil restoration by the end of
fiscal year 2001. B&W expects to request approval from the NRC to release the
site for unrestricted use at that time.
The Department of Environmental Resources of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
("PADER"), by letter dated March 19, 1994, advised B&W that it will seek
monetary sanctions, and remedial and monitoring relief, related to B&W's Parks
Facilities in Parks Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The relief
sought relates to potential groundwater contamination related to the previous
operations of the facilities. B&W is currently negotiating with PADER and
expects to reach a settlement without having to resort to litigation. Any
sanctions ultimately assessed are not expected to have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements of McDermott International.
McDermott International performs significant amounts of work for the U. S.
Government under both prime contracts and subcontracts and operates certain
facilities that are licensed to possess and process special nuclear materials
and thus are subject to continuing reviews by governmental agencies, including
the Environmental Protection Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
17
22
Decommissioning regulations promulgated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission require B&W to provide financial assurance that it will be able to
pay the expected cost of decommissioning its facilities at the end of their
service lives. B&W provided financial assurance of approximately $11,000,000
during fiscal year 1995 by issuing letters of credit for the ultimate
decommissioning of all its licensed facilities, except one. This facility,
which represents the largest portion of B&W's eventual decommissioning costs,
has provisions in its government contracts pursuant to which all of its
decommissioning costs and financial assurance obligations are covered by the
U.S. Government.
Compliance with existing government regulations controlling the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment (including decommissioning), does not have, nor is it expected to
have, a material effect upon the consolidated financial position of McDermott
International.
18
23
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Due to the nature of its business, McDermott International is, from time to
time, involved in litigation. It is management's opinion that none of this
litigation will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position of McDermott International.
For a discussion of McDermott International's potential liability for
non-employee products liability asbestos claims see Item 1F and Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by
this report to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies
or otherwise.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
A significant portion of McDermott International's revenues and operating
results are derived from its foreign operations. As a result, McDermott
International's operations and financial results could be significantly
affected by international factors, such as changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. McDermott International's policy is to minimize its exposure to changes
in foreign currency exchange rates by attempting to match foreign currency
contract receipts with like foreign currency disbursements during contract
negotiations. To the extent that it is unable to match the foreign currency
receipts and disbursements related to its contracts, it enters into forward
exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions on a continuing basis
for periods consistent with its committed exposures. This practice minimizes
the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on McDermott International's
operating results.
FISCAL YEAR 1995 VS FISCAL YEAR 1994
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's revenues increased $49,029,000 to
$1,663,235,000. This was primarily due to higher revenues from fabrication and
erection of fossil fuel steam and environmental control systems, nuclear fuel
assemblies and reactor components for the U. S. Government, replacement nuclear
steam generators, repair and alteration of existing fossil fuel steam systems,
and operations and maintenance contracts for small power plants. These
increases were partially offset by lower revenues from defense and
space-related products (other than nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor
components), extended scope of supply and fabrication of industrial boilers,
and replacement parts.
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's segment operating income decreased
$29,131,000 to $20,810,000 due to provisions for the decontamination,
decommissioning and closing of certain nuclear manufacturing facilities and the
closing of a manufacturing facility ($46,489,000) and a favorable warranty
reserve recorded in the prior year ($11,000,000). Operating income increased
due to lower operating expenses (including favorable workers compensation
adjustments) and administrative expenses (including cost reduction
initiatives); higher volume and margins on operations and maintenance
contracts; and improved margins on plant enhancement projects. These increases
were partially offset by lower volume and margins on extended scope of supply
and fabrication of industrial boilers, lower volume on replacement parts, and
lower margins on nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor components for the U. S.
Government.
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's equity in income of investees
decreased $3,668,000 to $8,364,000 primarily due to a provision for loss on
discontinuing a domestic joint venture and lower operating results in a foreign
joint venture.
Backlog for this segment at March 31, 1995 was $2,058,215,000 compared to
$2,398,285,000 at March 31, 1994. At March 31, 1995 this segment's backlog
with the U.S. Government was $631,578,000 (of which $21,607,000 had not been
funded). U.S

Government budget reductions have negatively affected this segment's government
operations, and backlog at March 31, 1995 and 1994 reflects the impact of
Congressional budget reductions on the advanced solid rocket motor and super
conducting super collider projects in prior years. The current competitive
economic environment has also negatively affected demand for other industrial-
related product lines and these markets are expected to remain very
competitive.
As discussed (see Item 1F - Insurance), provisions for these estimated future
costs for non-employee products liability asbestos claims have been recognized
for financial reporting purposes during fiscal years 1995 and 1994 (see Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements and the discussion of Other-net
expense and Liquidity below). Inherent in the estimate of these liabilities
and recoveries are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other
factors, including recoverability from insurers, which may vary significantly
as claims are filed and settled.
The current competitive economic environment for the electric power industry in
the United States has intensified, as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
has begun to implement the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which
deregulated the electric power generation industry by allowing independent
power producers and other companies access to its transmission and distribution
systems, and the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 have caused U. S. utilities
to defer ordering large new baseload power plants and to defer repairs and
refurbishments on existing plants. Most electric utilities have already
purchased equipment to comply with Phase I of the Clean Air Act, and many will
defer purchases of new equipment to comply with Phase II deadlines until after
the turn of the century. Electric utilities in Asia are active purchasers of
large, new baseload generating units, due to the rapid growth of the Pacific
Rim economies and to the small existing stock of electrical generating capacity
in most developing countries.
Marine Construction Services' revenues decreased $61,578,000 to $1,390,919,000,
primarily due to lower volume in worldwide marine and domestic fabrication
operations. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of revenues
as a result of the acquisitions of Offshore Pipelines, Inc. ("OPI")
($44,439,000) on January 31, 1995 and Northern Ocean Services ("NOS")
($59,644,000 for the full fiscal year) in February 1994 (See Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements), and higher volume in foreign fabrication
and procured materials.
Marine Construction Services' segment operating income increased slightly to
$44,619,000 (including $4,993,000 from OPI) from $44,394,000 primarily due to
improved margins in foreign marine operations, inclusion of the operating
results of NOS for the full fiscal year; and higher volume of procured
materials, domestic engineering operations, and foreign fabrication. These
increases were mostly offset by higher operating expenses, lower operating
results from DCC's operations, lower margins from shipyard operations, and
start-up costs associated with new shipbuilding activities.
Marine Construction Services' equity in income of investees decreased
$82,340,000 to $25,488,000 primarily due to lower operating volume and margins
of the McDermott ETPM-West, Inc. and HeereMac joint ventures.

29
Backlog for this segment at March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $1,510,117,000
(including $46,396,000 from the acquisition of OPI) and $1,054,142,000,
respectively. Not included in backlog at March 31, 1995 and 1994 was backlog
relating to contracts to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures of
approximately $1,014,000,000 and $840,000,000, respectively.
The activity of McDermott International depends mainly on the capital
expenditures of oil and gas companies which in turn are influenced by world oil
and gas prices. World oil and gas prices are expected to remain weak in the
near term resulting in a negative impact on new business awards. In addition,
the continued overcapacity of marine equipment worldwide has resulted in a
competitive environment and put pressure on operating profit margins worldwide.
In fiscal year 1995, McDermott International's unconsolidated affiliates
performed at significantly lower levels as several large contracts were
completed in fiscal year 1994 and are expected to remain at low levels in
fiscal 1996 and 1997.
Interest income increased $13,989,000 to $52,740,000 primarily due to
recognition of interest on a receivable from an equity investee, settlement of
claims for interest relating to foreign tax refunds and contract claims, and
higher interest rates on investments in government obligations and other
investments.
Interest expense decreased $6,860,000 to $57,115,000, primarily due to a
reduction of accrued interest on proposed tax deficiencies, partially offset by
changes in debt obligations and interest rates prevailing thereon.
Minority interest expense decreased $3,084,000 to $12,167,000 primarily due to
minority shareholder participation in increased losses of DCC and JRM's losses
for the two months ended March 31, 1995. These decreases in expense were
partially offset by an increase due to minority shareholder participation in
the improved results of the McDermott-ETPM East joint venture.
Other-net expense increased $28,926,000 to $33,291,000 primarily due to a loss
related to the reduction of estimated products liability asbestos claim
recoveries from insurers, a provision for the settlement of a lawsuit and
losses on the sales of investment securities in the current period.
The provision for income taxes decreased $45,041,000 from a provision of
$24,998,000 to a benefit of $20,043,000, while income before income taxes and
cumulative effect of accounting changes decreased $124,121,000. The reduction
in income taxes is primarily due to a decrease in income from operations along
with a reduction in a provision for taxes due to a settlement of outstanding
issues and higher non-taxable earnings. In addition, McDermott International
operates in many different tax jurisdictions. Within these jurisdictions, tax
provisions vary because of nominal rates, allowability of deductions, credits
and other benefits, and even tax basis (for example, revenues versus income).
These variances, along with variances in the mix of income within
jurisdictions, are responsible for shifts in the effective tax rate. As a
result of these factors, the benefit from income taxes was 219% of pretax loss
in fiscal year 1995 compared to a provision for income taxes of 22% of pretax
income in fiscal year 1994.
25
30
Net lncome increased $19,905,000 from a loss of $10,794,000 to income of
$9,111,000 reflecting the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" of $1,765,000 in the
current year and the cumulative effect of accounting change for non-employee
products liability asbestos claims of $100,750,000 in the prior year, in
addition to other items described above.
FISCAL YEAR 1994 VS FISCAL YEAR 1993
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's revenues increased $90,730,000 to
$1,614,206,000. This was primarily due to higher revenues from fabrication and
erection of fossil fuel steam and environmental control systems, replacement
nuclear steam generators, repair and alteration of existing fossil fuel steam
systems, and nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor components for the U. S.
Government. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues from
extended scope of supply and fabrication of industrial boilers, defense and
space-related products other than nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor
components, and air cooled heat exchangers.
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's segment operating income decreased
$6,526,000 to $49,941,000. This was primarily due to lower volume and margins
on extended scope of supply and fabrication of industrial boilers as well as
defense and space-related products other than nuclear fuel assemblies and
reactor components. There were also lower margins on plant enhancements,
replacement parts, and repair and alteration of existing fossil fuel steam
systems, as well as higher royalty income recorded in the prior year. These
decreases were partially offset by higher volume and margins on replacement
nuclear steam generators, nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor components for
the U. S. Government and higher volume on fabrication and erection of fossil
fuel steam and environmental control systems. There were also lower general
and administrative expenses, and lower warranty expense primarily due to net
favorable warranty reserve adjustments.
Power Generation Systems and Equipment's equity in income of investees
increased $3,341,000 to $12,032,000 primarily due to improved results in a
foreign joint venture and in three domestic joint ventures which own and
operate a cogeneration plant and two small power plants, partially offset by
unfavorable results in another foreign joint venture.
Marine Construction Services' revenues decreased $197,156,000 to
$1,452,497,000, primarily due to lower volume in worldwide fabrication and
engineering operations, foreign marine operations and procured materials.
These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of DCC.
Marine Construction Services' segment operating income decreased $23,258,000 to
$44,394,000, primarily due to lower volume in worldwide fabrication and
engineering operations and lower volume in procured materials. These decreases
were partially offset by the acquisition of DCC, higher margins in foreign
marine operations, the accelerated depreciation and write-off of certain
fabrication facilities and marine construction equipment in the prior year, and
reduced operating costs.
26
31
Marine Construction Services' equity in income of investees increased
$22,461,000 to $107,828,000. This increase was principally due to improved
operating results of the HeereMac joint venture.
Interest income decreased $1,640,000 to $38,751,000. This decrease was
primarily due to lower interest rates on investments in government securities
and other long-term investments.
Interest expense decreased $26,365,000 to $63,975,000, primarily due to changes
in debt obligations and interest rates prevailing thereon. The decrease
reflects the redemption of high coupon debt during April and June 1993, and a
reduction in accrued interest on proposed tax deficiencies.
Minority interest expense decreased $2,952,000 to $15,251,000 primarily due to
minority shareholder participation in the losses of the McDermott-ETPM East
joint venture in the current year and income in the prior year, partially
offset by participation in the results of DCC since its acquisition in June
1993.
Other-net decreased $14,562,000 to a loss of $4,365,000 from income of
$10,197,000. This decrease was primarily due to gains on the sale of interests
in two commercial nuclear joint ventures a foreign marine asset casualty gain
and gains on the sale of nineteen tugboats, all in the prior period.
Provision for income taxes decreased $15,101,000 to $24,998,000, while income
from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, extraordinary
items, and cumulative effect of accounting changes increased $7,532,000 to
$114,954,000. The decrease in the provision for income taxes is primarily due
to a reduction in a provision for taxes of $10,000,000 due to a settlement of
outstanding issues and higher non-taxable earnings. In addition, McDermott
International operates in many different tax jurisdictions. Within these
jurisdictions, tax provisions vary because of nominal rates, allowability of
deductions, credits and other benefits, and even tax basis (for example,
revenues versus income). These variances, along with variances in the mix of
income within jurisdictions, are responsible for shifts in the effective tax
rate. During this period, these factors reduced the effective tax rate to 22%
from 37%.
Net loss decreased $177,938,000 to $10,794,000 reflecting the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting for non-employee products liability asbestos claims
of $100,750,000 in the current year and the cumulative effect of the adoption
of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," of $249,351,000 in the prior year, in addition to other items
described above.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
McDermott International's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, using historical dollar accounting
(historical cost). Statements based on historical cost, however, do not
adequately reflect the cumulative effect of increasing costs and changes in the
purchasing power of the dollar, especially during times of significant and
continued inflation.
27
32
The management of McDermott International is cognizant of the effects of
inflation and, in order to minimize the negative impact of inflation on its
operations, attempts to cover the increased cost of anticipated changes in
labor, material and service costs, either through an estimation of such
changes, which is reflected in an original price, or through price escalation
clauses in its contracts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During fiscal year 1995, McDermott International's cash and cash equivalents
decreased $47,900,000 to $85,909,000 and total debt increased $257,077,000
(including $120,200,000 assumed in the acquisition of OPI) to $986,687,000.
During this period, McDermott International used cash of $97,890,000 for
additions to property, plant and equipment; $61,827,000 for dividends on
International's common and preferred stocks; $35,553,000 for repayment of
long-term debt; $12,559,000 in operating activities; and $17,185,000 for the
repurchase of a subsidiary's preferred stock to satisfy current and future
sinking fund requirements.
Decreases in accounts payable reflect settlement of charter obligations to the
HeereMac joint venture and amounts owned to ETPM S.A. Higher payables due to
increased volume at B&W's Canadian operations and activity on the Britoil
contract for the Atlantic Frontier Programme Development of Foinaven Phase One
Facility ("Foinaven") were offset by lower volume elsewhere. Increases in Net
contracts in progress and advance billings were primarily due to the timing of
billings on the Canadian and Foinaven contracts. Lower income taxes reflects
payments made in Canada and changes in the domestic tax provision due to higher
losses in the U.S., and accrued liabilities includes a reduction of accrued
interest expense of $26,300,000 resulting from the settlement of outstanding
tax issues with the IRS.
Pursuant to an agreement with the majority of its principal insurers, McDermott
International negotiates and settles products liability asbestos claims from
non-employees and bills these amounts to the appropriate insurers. As a result
of collection delays inherent in the process, reimbursement is usually delayed
for three months or more. The number of claims had declined moderately since
fiscal year 1990, but have increased during the second half of fiscal year
1995. Management believes, based on information currently available, that the
recent increase represents an acceleration in the timing of the receipt of
these claims, but does not represent an increase in its total estimated
liability. The average amount of these claims (historical average of
approximately $4,800 per claim over the last three years) has continued to
rise. Claims paid in fiscal year 1995 were $126,151,000, of which $111,163,000
has been recovered or is due from insurers. At March 31, 1995, Accounts
receivable-other included receivables of $34,925,000 that are due from insurers
for reimbursement of settled claims. During fiscal year 1995, McDermott
International received notice that provisional liquidators have been appointed
to a London-based products liability asbestos insurer and certain of its
subsidiaries and as a result, a loss of $14,478,000 related to the reduction of
estimated products liability asbestos claim recoveries was recognized.
Estimated liabilities for pending and future non-employee products liability
asbestos claims are derived from McDermott International's claims history and
constitute management's best estimate of such future costs. Estimated
insurance recoveries are based upon analysis of insurers providing coverage of
the estimated liabilities. Inherent in the estimate of such liabilities and
recoveries are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other
factors, including recoverability from insurers, which may vary significantly
as claims are filed and
28
33
settled. Accordingly, the ultimate loss may differ materially from amounts
provided in the consolidated financial statements. Settlement of the
liability is expected to occur over approximately the next 25 years. The
collection delays, and the amount of claims paid for which insurance recovery
is not probable have not had a material adverse effect on McDermott
International's liquidity, and management believes, based on information
currently available, that they will not have a material adverse effect on
liquidity in the future.
McDermott International's expenditures for property, plant and equipment
increased $21,569,000 to $97,890,000 in fiscal year 1995. While the majority
of these expenditures were incurred to maintain and replace existing facilities
and equipment, $15,010,000 was expended for the purchase of a barge which was
formerly leased by a subsidiary of International. McDermott International has
committed to make capital expenditures of approximately $40,301,000 (including
$9,457,000 for a new pipelay system on marine equipment and $14,286,000 for the
conversion of a barge to a floating production unit) during fiscal 1996. The
barge conversion is financed by a $16,700,000 note, payable in 30 monthly
installments beginning with the completion of the conversion. Interest is at
Libor plus 2%. There were no borrowings against this facility at March 31,
1995.
At March 31, 1995 and 1994, The Babcock & Wilcox Company had sold, with limited
recourse, an undivided interest in a designated pool of qualified accounts
receivable of approximately $175,000,000 and $170,000,000, respectively, under
an agreement with a U. S. bank. The maximum sales limit available under the
agreement, which expires on December 31, 1997 is $225,000,000. (See Note 7 to
the consolidated financial statements).
At March 31, 1995 and 1994, International and its subsidiaries, had available
to them various uncommitted short-term lines of credit from banks totaling
$373,867,000 and $246,412,000, respectively. Borrowings against these lines of
credit at March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $63,025,000 and $37,512,000,
respectively. In addition, the Babcock & Wilcox Company had available to it a
$128,000,000 unsecured and committed revolving line of credit facility. Loans
outstanding under the revolving credit facility may not exceed the banks'
commitments thereunder. In addition, it is a condition to borrowing under the
revolving credit facility that the borrower's consolidated net tangible assets
exceed a certain level. There were no borrowings against this facility at
March 31, 1995 and 1994. DCC had available from a certain Canadian bank an
unsecured and committed revolving credit facility of $14,184,000 which expires
on May 31, 1997. Borrowings outstanding against this facility at March 31, 1995
were $7,420,000. There were no borrowings outstanding against this facility at
March 31, 1994. In addition, JRM had available two secured and committed
revolving credit facilities totaling $53,500,000 of which $24,500,000 was
outstanding at March 31, 1995. Loans outstanding under these facilities were
repaid and the facility terminated on May 10, 1995.
In consideration for the contribution of substantially all of McDermott
International's marine construction services business, JRM issued 3,200,000
shares of Series A $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $231,000,000
9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 and a $39,750,000 Floating Rate Note at
7.69% at the Merger Date (7.4375% at March 31, 1995) to International. The
Floating Rate Note is due January 31, 1997 or earlier upon demand. JRM expects
to pay this note during fiscal year 1996. In addition, a
29
34
subsidiary of JRM assumed all of OPI's $70,000,000 12-7/8% Guaranteed Senior
Notes due 2002. The Notes due 2002 are redeemable at the option of a
subsidiary of JRM after June 1997. On June 7, 1995, JRM entered into an
agreement with a group of banks to provide a $150,000,000 three year unsecured
and committed line of credit to support the operating requirements of its
domestic and international operations. JRM is restricted, as a result of
covenants in these agreements, in its ability to transfer funds to
International and its subsidiaries through cash dividends or through unsecured
loans or investments. As approximately $40,000,000 of its net assets were not
subject to these restrictions, they are not expected to impact JRM's ability to
make preferred dividend payments.
The Delaware Company is restricted, as a result of covenants in credit
agreements, in its ability to transfer funds to International and its
subsidiaries through cash dividends or through unsecured loans or investments.
Substantially all of the net assets of the Delaware Company is subject to such
restrictions. It is not expected that these restrictions will have any
significant effect on International's liquidity.
McDermott International maintains an investment portfolio of government
obligations and other investments which is classified as available for sale
under SFAS No. 115 (See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements). The
fair value of short-term investments and the long-term portfolio at March 31,
1995 was $715,093,000 (amortized cost $723,946,000). The net unrealized loss
on the current and long-term investment portfolio, net of income tax effect,
was $8,050,000 at March 31, 1995. At March 31, 1995, approximately
$146,142,000 fair value (amortized cost of $148,422,000) of these obligations
were pledged to secure a letter of credit in connection with a long-term loan
and certain reinsurance agreements. In addition, McDermott International had
obligations of $135,691,000 under short-term repurchase agreements which were
secured by government obligations with a fair value of $134,673,000 at March
31, 1995.
Working capital decreased $106,442,000 to a deficit of $40,790,000 at March 31,
1995 from $65,652,000 at March 31, 1994. During 1996, McDermott International
expects to obtain funds to meet capital expenditure, working capital and debt
maturity requirements from operating activities, its short-term investment
portfolio, and additional borrowings. On June 1, 1995, McDermott International
repaid its 10.25% Notes of $150,000,000 from its short-term investment
portfolio and additional borrowings from revolving lines of credit. Leasing
agreements for equipment, which are short-term in nature, are not expected to
impact McDermott International's liquidity or capital resources.
International's quarterly dividends are $0.25 per share on its Common Stock and
$0.71875 per share on its Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Delaware Company's quarterly dividends are $0.55 per share on the Series A
$2.20 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and $0.65 per share on the Series
B $2.60 Cumulative Preferred Stock. International's and the Delaware
Company's quarterly dividends were at the same rates in 1995 and 1994. JRM's
quarterly dividends on its Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are $0.5625
per share. At March 31, 1995, JRM paid dividends for a partial quarterly
period of $900,000 on its Series A Preferred Stock and on April 17, 1995 paid
$217,000 on its Series B Preferred Stock.
At March 31, 1995 the ratio of long-term debt to total stockholders' equity was
0.81 as compared with 1.23 at March 31, 1994.
30
35
McDermott International accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". This standard requires, among other things, recognition of future tax
benefits, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to deductible temporary
differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities and to tax net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards
to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
McDermott International has provided a valuation allowance ($34,943,000 at
March 31, 1995) for deferred tax assets which can not be realized through
carrybacks and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.
Management believes that remaining deferred tax assets ($675,282,000 at March
31, 1995) in all other tax jurisdictions are realizable through carrybacks and
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and, if necessary,
the implementation of tax planning strategies involving sales and
sale/leasebacks of appreciated assets. A major uncertainty that affects the
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is the possibility of declines in
value of appreciated assets involved in identified tax planning strategies.
This factor has been considered in determining the valuation allowance.
Management will continue to assess the adequacy of the valuation allowance on a
quarterly basis.

Item 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
COMPANY REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
International has prepared the consolidated financial statements and related
financial information included in this report. International has the primary
responsibility for the financial statements and other financial information and
for ascertaining that the data fairly reflects the financial position and
results of operations of McDermott International. The financial statements
were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
necessarily reflect informed estimates and judgments by appropriate officers of
McDermott International with appropriate consideration given to materiality.
McDermott International believes that it maintains an internal control
structure designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss or unauthorized use and that the financial records are adequate
and can be relied upon to produce financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The concept of reasonable assurance
is based on the recognition that the cost of an internal control structure must
not exceed the related benefits. Although internal control procedures are
designed to achieve these objectives, it must be recognized that errors or
irregularities may nevertheless occur. McDermott International seeks to assure
the objectivity and integrity of its accounts by its selection of qualified
personnel, by organizational arrangements that provide an appropriate division
of responsibility and by the establishment and communication of sound business
policies and procedures throughout the organization. McDermott International
believes that its internal control structure provides reasonable assurance that
errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are
prevented or would be detected.
McDermott International's accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been audited by its independent auditors, who provide McDermott International
with expert advice on the application of U. S. generally accepted accounting
principles to McDermott International's business and also provide an objective
assessment of the degree to which McDermott International meets its
responsibility for the fairness of financial reporting. They regularly
evaluate the internal control structure and perform such tests and other
procedures as they deem necessary to reach and express an opinion on the
fairness of the financial statements. The report of the independent auditors
appears elsewhere herein.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for McDermott International's
consolidated financial statements through its Audit Committee, which is
composed solely of directors who are not officers or employees of McDermott
International. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent
auditors and management to review matters relating to the quality of financial
reporting and internal control structure and the nature, extent and results of
the audit effort. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for
recommending the engagement of independent auditors for McDermott International
to the Board of Directors, who in turn submit the engagement to the
stockholders for their approval. The independent auditors have free access to
the Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
McDermott International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of McDermott
International, Inc. as of March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended March 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of McDermott
International, Inc. at March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
has provided for estimated future costs for non-employee products liability
asbestos claims. Inherent in the estimate of such future costs are assumptions
which may vary significantly as claims are filed and settled. Accordingly, the
ultimate loss may differ materially from amounts provided in the consolidated
financial statements.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its methods of accounting for postemployment benefits and investment
securities in 1995, recoveries of products liability claims in 1994 and income
taxes and postretirement benefits other than pensions in 1993.
