HOUSTON, April 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (NYSE: HLX) reported net income of $25.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011 compared with a net loss of $17.9 million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, for the same period in 2010, and a net loss of $49.8 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix, stated, "While weakness in the subsea construction market in the Gulf of Mexico remains a challenge for our Contracting Services business,  increased oil production combined with higher oil prices resulted in increased earnings and cash flow for Helix.  Consistent with our higher earnings and cash flow, our liquidity position increased to $837 million at March 31, 2011 from $787 million at December 31, 2010.  Separately, efforts to make our containment system, the Helix Fast Response System, available to producers in the Gulf of Mexico have begun to pay off in the permitting process.  Six deepwater drilling permits referencing our containment system have been approved since late February, and we are optimistic that permitting activity will continue to increase.  Consistent with improving activity levels for our Contracting Services business as well as the higher commodity price environment, we are upgrading our earnings outlook for 2011."

Note: Footnotes listed at end of press release.

Contracting Services  

  • Subsea Construction and Robotics revenues decreased in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 attributable to a weak subsea construction market in the Gulf of Mexico. Overall, our utilization rate for our owned and chartered construction vessels decreased to 44% in the first quarter of 2011 from 84% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Further, global Robotics utilization declined to 49% in the first quarter of 2011 from 60% in the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • Well Operations revenues decreased in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 due primarily to lower overall utilization (77% compared to 90%).  The Seawell incurred 17 days of repair and maintenance downtime and the Well Enhancer incurred 40 days of maintenance downtime during the first quarter of 2011.  
  • Gross profit margins for our Contracting Services business were 8% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 1% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Gross profit margins in the first quarter of 2011 were negatively impacted by low utilization in Subsea Construction and Robotics.  Gross profit margins in the fourth quarter of 2010 were negatively impacted by the loss on the Lufeng project offshore China.

Production Facilities

  • The HP I produced the Phoenix field throughout the first quarter of 2011.

Oil and Gas

  • Oil and Gas revenues increased in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 due primarily to increased oil production and higher oil prices. Production in the first quarter of 2011 totaled 14.4 Bcfe compared to 13.7 Bcfe in the fourth quarter of 2010.  
  • The average price realized for oil, including the effects of settled oil hedge contracts, totaled $90.49 per barrel in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $80.11 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2010.  For natural gas, including the effect of settled gas hedge contracts, we realized $5.77 per thousand cubic feet of gas (Mcf) in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $6.11 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • Our April 2011 oil and gas production rate has averaged approximately 140 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfe/d) through April 22, 2011, compared to an average of 160 MMcfe/d in the first quarter of 2011 and an average of 149 MMcfe/d in the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • We currently have oil and gas hedge contracts in place totaling 19.9 Bcfe (2.1 million barrels of oil and 7.4 Bcf of gas) for the remainder of 2011 (April through December) and 7.6 Bcfe (0.6 million barrels of oil and 4.0 Bcf of gas) in 2012.

Other Expenses

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.6% of revenue in the first quarter of 2011, 9.9% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 11.4% in the first quarter of 2010 (excluding the $17.5 million pre-tax charge related to a payment to settle litigation related to a terminated 2007 international construction contract).  
  • Net interest expense and other increased to $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Net interest expense increased to $24.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $23.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting lower interest income on our invested cash due to lower interest rates.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

  • Consolidated net debt at March 31, 2011 decreased to $916 million from $967 million at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolver. Our total liquidity at March 31, 2011 was approximately $837 million, consisting of cash on hand of $441 million and revolver availability of $396 million. Net debt to book capitalization as of March 31, 2011 was 41%.  (Net debt to book capitalization is a non-GAAP measure.  See reconciliation attached hereto.)
  • As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under our various loan agreements.
  • We incurred capital expenditures (including capitalized interest) totaling $44 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $75 million in the first quarter of 2010.  

Footnotes to "Summary of Results":

(1) First quarter 2011 included $0.2 million of expense related to a weather derivative contract and $(3.6) million of net hurricane-related insurance recoveries.  First quarter 2010 included $0.3 million of expense related to a weather derivative contract and $2.1 million of hurricane-related costs. Fourth quarter 2010 included $2.3 million of expense related to a weather derivative contract and $0.1 million of hurricane-related costs.  
(2) First quarter 2010 impairments on our U.S. oil and gas properties ($7.0 million) were due primarily to the deterioration of certain fields' economics following a significant decrease in natural gas prices during the period. We also impaired our U.K. offshore property ($4.1 million) during the first quarter of 2010. The U.K. impairment was offset by a gain on the reacquisition of our 50% co-owner's interest in the U.K. field. Fourth quarter 2010 oil and gas impairments of $9.2 million were primarily related to a reduction in carrying value of certain oil and gas properties.
(3) Fourth quarter 2010 included $6.4 million of exploration costs associated with offshore lease expirations.  
(4) First quarter 2010 included a payment of $17.5 million to settle litigation related to the termination of a 2007 international construction contract.
(5) Non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation attached hereto.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management evaluates Company performance and financial condition using certain non-GAAP metrics, primarily Adjusted EBITDAX, net debt and net debt to book capitalization.  We calculate Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exploration expense.  Net debt is calculated as the sum of financial debt less cash and equivalents on hand.  Net debt to book capitalization is calculated by dividing net debt by the sum of net debt, convertible preferred stock and shareholders' equity.  These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they are widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to company, and help investors meaningfully compare our results from period to period.  Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead is supplemental to, income from operations, net income or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
