FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, the Company notes that certain statements set forth in this presentation provide other than
historical information and are forward looking. The actual achievement of any forecasted results,
or the unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way anticipated or projected by
the Company, involve numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual
performance to be materially different from that stated or implied in the forward-looking
statement. Among those risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company, include, without limitation, fluctuations in worldwide energy demand and oil and gas
prices; fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changes in capital spending by
customers in the energy industry for offshore exploration, development and production; changing
customer demands for vessel specifications, which may make some of our older vessels
technologically obsolete for certain customer projects or in certain markets; instability of global
financial markets and difficulty accessing credit or capital; acts of terrorism and piracy; significant
weather conditions; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and governmental actions, such
as expropriation, especially in higher risk countries of operations; foreign currency fluctuations;
labor influences proposed by international conventions; and enforcement of laws related to the
environment,
labor
and
foreign
corrupt
practices.
Participants
should
consider
all
of these risk
factors as well as other information contained in the Company’s form 10-K’s and 10-Q’s.

Assumptions:  1) Average 45 vessel disposals per year in future (averaged 47 per year last three years).
2) Include 36 vessels under construction ( including three purchase commitments) in year delivered 
plus additional newbuilds/acquisitions from approximately $500 million per year of future
commitments. Tidewater is not committed to spending $500 million annually, but this level is used
as an assumption in estimating average fleet age in the future.
