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 30 vessels under construction, including 7 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.
