FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
2
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, volatility 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, field 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; uncertainty of global financial market conditions
and difficulty in 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
where we operate; foreign currency fluctuations; labor influences proposed by
international conventions; increased regulatory burdens and oversight following
the Deepwater Horizon incident; and enforcement of laws related to the
environment, labor and foreign corrupt practices. Readers should consider all of
these risk factors as well as other information contained in this report.

Assumptions:
1) Average 45 vessel disposals per year in future (versus an average of 52 vessel dispositions per year over last 3 years).
2) Includes 40 vessels under construction, including 12 vessel purchase commitments (based on current estimated delivery
schedule), plus additional newbuilds/acquisitions of ~20 vessels per year (approximately $500 million in new capital
commitments per year). Tidewater is not committed to spending $500 million annually, but we use this assumption in
estimating average fleet age in the future.
