HOUSTON, April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hercules Offshore, Inc. (Nasdaq: HERO) today reported a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, on revenue of $166.2 million for the first quarter 2011, compared with a net loss of $16.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, on revenue of $150.8 million for the first quarter 2010.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050601/DAW092LOGO)

John T. Rynd, Chief Executive Officer and President of Hercules Offshore stated, "The first quarter of 2011 marks a pivotal point for the Company, starting with our investment in Discovery Offshore, followed by our agreement to acquire 20 jackup rigs from Seahawk Drilling and the amendment to our credit facility. I believe that these transactions will prove to be very timely, as newbuild prices continue to escalate and operating conditions continue to show signs of improvement."

"In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, permit activity has improved from a very slow start at the beginning of the year, with the current pace of permitting more supportive of at least maintaining current activity levels. Jackup rig availability has subsequently tightened, and dayrates have increased modestly. As we integrate the assets acquired from Seahawk into our rig fleet, we will be well-positioned to benefit from these improvements in market conditions. In international markets, we continue to have constructive dialogue with existing and potential new customers for our international rig fleet. We remain confident in our ability to find work for our rigs rolling off contract during 2011."

Offshore

Domestic Offshore revenue increased to $33.8 million in the first quarter 2011 from $29.0 million in the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per rig per day to $42,892 in the first quarter 2011 from $35,191 in the first quarter 2010. Operating expenses increased slightly to $41.0 million in the first quarter 2011 from $39.2 million in the respective 2010 period, primarily due to higher workers' compensation expense. Domestic Offshore recorded an operating loss of $25.1 million in the first quarter 2011 compared to an operating loss of $30.1 million for the first quarter 2010.

International Offshore revenue increased to $77.1 million in the first quarter 2011 from $73.4 million in the first quarter 2010. Revenue growth was driven by an increase in the number of operating days, which totaled 582 days in the first quarter 2011, up from 527 days in the prior year period, as the Hercules 185 commenced work in February 2011, but did not meet revenue recognition criteria in the first quarter 2010 and Platform 3 which was fully utilized for the 2011 period, but incurred downtime in the year-ago period. Operating expenses decreased slightly to $33.8 million in the first quarter 2011 from $34.7 million in the first quarter 2010. Segment general and administrative expenses include a $5.0 million benefit from the reversal of an allowance for doubtful accounts related to a payment received from a customer in Angola. Operating income increased to $32.7 million in the first quarter 2011 from $22.5 million in the prior year period.

Inland

Inland revenue for the first quarter 2011 was $5.5 million, an increase from $4.8 million in the first quarter 2010, due to an increase in average revenue per day per rig to $26,839 in the first quarter 2011 from $19,796 in the respective 2010 period, partially offset by a decline in utilization to 75.9%, compared to 88.9% for the same periods, respectively. Operating expenses were $7.0 million in the first quarter 2011, compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter 2010. Operating expenses in the prior year period benefitted from a $1.8 million gain from the sale of three of our retired barges. Inland segment general and administrative expense during the first quarter 2010 also benefitted from the reversal of a $3.5 million balance in allowance for doubtful accounts. This segment recorded an operating loss of $6.4 million in the first quarter 2011 versus an operating loss of $5.3 million in the first quarter 2010.

Liftboats

Domestic Liftboats generated revenue of $10.6 million in the first quarter 2011 compared to $11.4 million in the first quarter 2010. More severe seasonality and generally slower market conditions led to a decline in utilization, which averaged 38.9% during the first quarter 2011, compared to 50.5% in the first quarter 2010. Partially offsetting lower utilization was higher revenue per liftboat per day, which increased to $7,993 in the first quarter 2011 from $6,626 in the prior year period. The increase in average revenue per liftboat per day was due to higher overall pricing across each vessel class, as well as a shift in revenue mix towards the larger vessel classes that command higher dayrates. Operating expenses increased modestly to $9.9 million in the first quarter 2011 from $9.3 million in the prior year period. This segment recorded a first quarter 2011 operating loss of $3.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of the previous year.

International Liftboat revenue increased 25% to $32.3 million in the first quarter 2011 compared to $26.0 million in the first quarter 2010. Utilization improved to 67.4% from 54.4% in the first quarter 2010, and average revenue per liftboat per day increased to $23,173 from $22,114 in the same periods, respectively. Operating expenses were essentially flat at $14.7 million. As a result on the stronger revenue and relatively flat expenses, operating income more than doubled to $11.6 million during the first quarter 2011, compared to $5.3 million during the first quarter 2010.

Liquidity and Capitalization

At March 31, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $163.0 million and unused capacity of $127.8 million under its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2011, the Company's balance sheet reflects total debt of $859.2 million.

(1)  Utilization is defined as the total number of days our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, were under contract, known as operating days, in the period as a percentage of the total number of available days in the period.  Days during which our rigs and liftboats were undergoing major refurbishments, upgrades or construction, and days during which our rigs and liftboats are cold-stacked, are not counted as available days. Days during which our liftboats are in the shipyard undergoing drydocking or inspection are considered available days for the purposes of calculating utilization.    


(2)  Average revenue per rig or liftboat per day is defined as revenue earned by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of operating days for our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period.  


(3)  Average operating expense per rig or liftboat per day is defined as operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, incurred by our rigs or liftboats, as applicable, in the period divided by the total number of available days in the period.  We use available days to calculate average operating  

 expense per rig or liftboat per day rather than operating days, which are used to calculate average revenue per rig or liftboat per day, because we incur operating expenses on our rigs and liftboats even when they are not under contract and earning a dayrate. In addition, the operating expenses we incur on our rigs and liftboats per day when they are not under contract are typically lower than the per day expenses we incur when they are under contract.
