McDermott Reports Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Approximately $66 million of Net Charges and Increased Contingency Offset Otherwise Solid Quarter

  • First Quarter 2012 Bookings Off to Strong Start with $2 Billion Inpex Award
  • Agile vessel now working on charter in Brazil; Mexican pipelay project near completion

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 29, 2012--McDermott International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) (“McDermott” or the “Company”) today reported income from continuing operations of $9.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the 2011 fourth quarter. The results of the 2011 fourth quarter compare to income from continuing operations of $45.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the corresponding period of 2010. Classified as discontinued operations, the results of McDermott’s charter fleet business are excluded from all periods presented, and The Babcock & Wilcox Company, which was spun-off to McDermott shareholders on July 30, 2010, is excluded from the 2010 and 2009 full-year results. Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 236.9 million and 237.0 million in the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

McDermott’s revenues were $816.2 million for the 2011 fourth quarter, an increase of over 51 percent compared to $539.6 million in the corresponding period of 2010. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a 134 percent increase in revenues in the Asia Pacific segment as a result of expanded scope and marine activity on a large engineering, procurement, construction and installation project, coupled with increased revenues in the Middle East and Atlantic segments.

The Company’s operating income in the 2011 fourth quarter was $31.4 million, compared to $59.3 million in the 2010 fourth quarter. Operating income in the 2011 fourth quarter was negatively affected by an aggregate of approximately $66 million (pretax and after-tax) from additional project losses and increased contingency on certain projects, primarily the nearly-complete Mexican pipelay project and the 5-year charter contract in Brazil, partially offset by one-time benefits associated with the Company’s captive insurance program, a partial recovery of exit costs on a discontinued fabrication facility and the reversal of previously accrued compensation expenses. In the Asia Pacific segment, operating income increased $70 million as compared to the 2010 fourth quarter.

“Clearly, we were disappointed to incur additional charges on the two Atlantic projects, including the need to add contingency to the Brazilian project,” said Steve M. Johnson, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. “However, we are pleased that our work with the Agile vessel in Brazil has now begun after much delay, and we expect to be complete with the Mexican pipelay project in just a matter of weeks – so the outlook has improved. Absent these issues, our execution on other projects in the fourth quarter was solid and our expectations for 2012 are higher than 2011.”


The Company’s other income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.9 million, an improvement of $9.3 million compared to the other expense of $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher foreign currency gains.

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s backlog was $3.9 billion, compared to $5.0 billion and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Of the December 31, 2011 backlog, approximately $347 million is from projects currently in a loss position, primarily the Brazilian charter, whereby future revenues are expected to equal costs when recognized. As previously announced, McDermott has received in excess of $2 billion in new awards thus far in the first quarter of 2012.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of December 31, 2011, McDermott reported total assets of approximately $3.0 billion. Included in this amount was $731.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments. Net working capital, calculated as current assets less current liabilities, was $515.4 million. Additionally, total equity was $1.7 billion, or approximately 58% of total assets, with total debt of $93.7 million.

Discontinued Operations

For the fourth quarter of 2011, McDermott recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $19.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, primarily due to a write-down on the assets held for sale based upon recent discussions with interested parties and external advisors. Including the results of discontinued operations, total net loss attributable to McDermott was approximately $10 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the 2011 fourth quarter.

Full-year 2011 Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2011, McDermott reported revenues of $3.4 billion, a record annual level for the Company, with operating income of $250.7 million and net income from continuing operations of $151.5 million, or $0.64 per fully diluted share. Included in the full year results are approximately $127 million of net charges from project losses and increased contingency, partially offset by captive insurance income, partial recovery of facility exit costs and a gain on asset sale.

Comments and outlook for 2012

“While McDermott’s results for 2011 were negatively impacted in total by certain project losses as discussed previously and herein, our outlook for 2012 reflects expected improvement in many areas,” Johnson continued. “The Company has begun the year with its largest single booking at the time of award with the Inpex Ichthys project, and we continue to see a number of new award opportunities on the horizon. We believe that McDermott has fully reflected the expected costs to complete the two challenging Atlantic projects with sufficient contingency for the future. Although we expect at this time that the first quarter of 2012 will be the trough period of the year, we do view the current range of analyst estimates for the full year ($0.70-$1.01) as reasonable bookends at this time, based on our current 2012 forecast and expected business conditions.”
