On December 1, 2021, we acquired a services and industrial staffing business (“DSS Acquisition”), which increased our skilled workforce, further diversified our customer base and expanded our service offerings for our Services Division.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) reflect all wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet (“Balance Sheet”) at December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to our 2022 Financial Statements.
Operating Cycle
The duration of our contracts vary, but may extend beyond twelve months from the date of contract award. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities have been classified as current under the operating cycle concept whereby all contract-related items are classified as current regardless of whether cash will be received or paid within a twelve-month period. Assets and liabilities classified as current, which may not be received or paid within the next twelve months, include contract retainage, contract assets and contract liabilities. Variations from normal contract terms may result in the classification of assets and liabilities as long-term.

Use of Estimates
General – The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe our most significant estimates and judgments are associated with:
If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which our Financial Statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ materially from those included in the Financial Statements.
Oil and Gas Price Volatility and Macroeconomic Conditions – Since 2008, the prices of oil and gas have experienced significant volatility, including depressed prices over extended periods, resulting in reductions in capital spending and drilling activities from our traditional offshore oil and gas customer base. Consequently, our operating results and cash flows were negatively impacted as we experienced reductions in revenue, lower margins due to competitive pricing and under-utilization of our operating facilities and resources. Beginning in 2020, the global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) added another layer of pressure and uncertainty on oil and gas prices (with oil prices reaching a twenty-year low and gas prices reaching a four-year low), which further negatively impacted certain of our end markets during the first quarter 2022. This volatility in oil and gas prices was compounded by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 (and the related European energy crisis), and the U.S. and other countries actions in response (with oil prices reaching an eight-year high and gas prices reaching a fourteen-year high), which positively impacted certain of our end markets. While oil and gas prices have somewhat stabilized, the duration of such stability is uncertain and difficult to predict.
In addition, global economic factors that are beyond our control, have and could continue to impact our operations, including, but are not limited to, supply chain disruptions (including global shipping and logistics challenges that began in 2020), inflationary pressures, economic slowdowns and recessions, bank failures, natural disasters, public health crises (such as COVID-19), and geopolitical conflicts (such as the conflict in Ukraine).
The ultimate business and financial impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions on our business and results of operations continues to be uncertain, but the impacts have included, or may continue to include, among other things, reduced bidding activity; suspension or termination of backlog; deterioration of customer financial condition; and unanticipated project costs and schedule delays due to supply chain disruptions, labor and material price increases, lower labor productivity, increased employee and contractor absenteeism and turnover, craft labor hiring challenges, increased safety incidents, lack of performance by subcontractors and suppliers, and contract disputes. We continue to monitor the impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions on our operations, and our estimates in future periods will be revised for any events and changes in circumstances arising after the date of this Report.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive securities in periods in which income is reported. See Note 5 for calculations of our basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments
Cash Equivalents – We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We hold substantially all of our cash deposits with Hancock Whitney Bank (“Whitney Bank”).
Restricted Cash – At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $
Short-term Investments – We consider investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than twelve months to be short-term investments. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our short-term investments included U.S. Treasuries with original maturities of four and six months, respectively. We intend to hold these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments prior to their maturity. The investments are stated at amortized costs, which approximates fair value due to their near-term maturities. All short-term investments are traded on active markets with quoted prices and represent Level 1 fair value measurements.
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the first-in-first-out basis. The cost of inventory includes acquisition costs, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred to bring the inventory to a current location and condition. Net realizable value is our estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. An allowance for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based on an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, estimates of future sales and salvage value.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses
As further discussed under “New Accounting Standards” below, we adopted the new accounting standard for measuring credit losses effective January 1, 2023. In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers on a short-term basis and contract receivables are generally not collateralized; however, we typically have the right to place liens on our projects in the event of nonpayment by our customers. We provide an allowance for credit losses and routinely review individual contract receivable balances and other financial assets for collectability and make provisions for probable uncollectible amounts as necessary. Among the factors considered in our review are the financial condition of our customer and its access to financing, underlying disputes with the customer, the age and value of the receivable balance, company-specific credit ratings, historical company-specific uncollectable amounts and economic conditions in general. See Note 2 for further discussion of our allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses.
Stock-Based Compensation
Awards under our stock-based compensation plans are calculated using a fair value-based measurement method. Depending on the terms of the award, we use the straight-line or graded vesting methods to recognize share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award. We recognize the excess tax benefit or tax deficiency resulting from the difference between the deduction we receive for tax purposes and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize for financial reporting purposes created when common stock vests, as an income tax benefit or expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations (“Statement of Operations”). Tax payments made on behalf of employees to taxing authorities in order to satisfy employee income tax withholding obligations from the vesting of shares under our stock-based compensation plans are classified as a financing activity on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (“Statement of Cash Flows”).
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
- 7 -
Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually at a reporting unit level, absent any indicators of impairment or when other actions require an impairment assessment (such as a change in reporting units). Our Services Division represents our only reporting unit with goodwill. We perform our annual impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of each year based upon balances as of October 1. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, we perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, and we recognize an impairment charge to the extent its carrying value exceeds its fair value. To determine the fair value of our reporting unit and test for impairment, we utilize an income approach (discounted cash flow method) as we believe this is the most direct approach to incorporate the specific economic attributes and risk profile of our reporting unit into our valuation model. We had no indicators of impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2023. If, based on future assessments, our goodwill is deemed to be impaired, the impairment would result in a charge to our operating results in the period of impairment.
Other Long-Lived Assets – Our property, plant and equipment, lease assets (included within other noncurrent assets), and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a recoverability assessment is required, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if an impairment exists. An asset group constitutes the minimum level for which identifiable cash flows are principally independent of the cash flows of other assets or asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount and the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or third-party indications of value, as appropriate. We had no indicators of impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Leases
We record a right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease liability on our Balance Sheet equal to the present value of our lease payments for leases with an original term of longer than twelve months. We do not record an asset or liability for leases with an original term of twelve months or less and we do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases. Our lease assets are reflected within other noncurrent assets, and the current and noncurrent portions of our lease liabilities are reflected within accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on our Balance Sheet. For leases with escalations over the life of the lease, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value determinations for financial assets and liabilities are based on the particular facts and circumstances. Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy are as follows:
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. Our fair value assessments for determining the impairments of inventory, goodwill and long-lived assets are non-recurring fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue Recognition
General – Our revenue is derived from customer contracts and agreements that are awarded on a competitively bid and negotiated basis using a range of contracting options, including fixed-price, unit-rate, time and materials (“T&M”) and cost-reimbursable, or a combination thereof. Our contracts primarily relate to the fabrication of steel structures and modules, and certain service arrangements. We recognize revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”).
- 8 -
Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, provisions of Topic 606 specify which goods and services are distinct and represent separate performance obligations (representing the unit of account in Topic 606) within a contract and which goods and services (which could include multiple contracts or agreements) should be aggregated. In general, a performance obligation is a contractual obligation to construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized as the work progresses. Revenue for performance obligations that do not meet the criteria for over time recognition are recognized at a point-in-time when a performance obligation is complete and the customer has obtained control of a promised asset.
Long-term Contracts Satisfied Over Time – Revenue for our long-term contracts is recognized using the POC method based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs (an input method). Fixed-price contracts, or contracts with a more significant fixed-price component, generally provide us with greater control over project schedule and the timing of when work is performed and costs are incurred, and accordingly, when revenue is recognized. Unit-rate, T&M and cost-reimbursable contracts generally have more variability in the scope of work and provide our customers with greater influence over the timing of when we perform our work, and accordingly, such contracts often result in less predictability with respect to the timing of when revenue is recognized. Contract costs include direct costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs attributable to contract activity. Material costs that are significant to a contract and do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion are excluded from the determination of our contract progress. Revenue for such materials is only recognized to the extent of costs incurred. Revenue and gross profit or loss for contracts accounted for using the POC method can be significantly affected by changes in estimated cost to complete such contracts. Significant estimates impacting the cost to complete a contract include: forecast costs of engineering, materials, equipment and subcontracts; forecast costs of labor and labor productivity; schedule durations, including subcontractor and supplier progress; contract disputes, including claims; achievement of contractual performance requirements; and contingency, among others. Although our customers retain the right and ability to change, modify or discontinue further work at any stage of a contract, in the event our customers discontinue work, they are required to compensate us for the work performed to date. The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known, including, to the extent required, the reversal of profit recognized in prior periods and the recognition of losses expected to be incurred on contracts. Due to the various estimates inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from those estimates, which could result in material changes to our Financial Statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 for further discussion of projects with significant changes in estimated margins during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Short-term Contracts and Contracts Satisfied at a Point In Time – Revenue for our short-term contracts (which includes revenue associated with our master services arrangements) and contracts that do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition over time is recognized when the work is performed or when control of the asset is transferred, the related costs are incurred and collection is reasonably assured. The consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value of our performance completed at the time of invoicing.
Variable Consideration – Revenue and gross profit or loss for contracts can be significantly affected by variable consideration, which can be in the form of unapproved change orders, claims (including amounts arising from disputes with customers), incentives and liquidated damages that may not be resolved until the later stages of the contract or after the contract has been completed. Variable consideration can also include revenue associated with work performed on a unit-rate, T&M or cost-reimbursable basis that is recognized using the POC method. We estimate variable consideration based on the amount we expect to be entitled and include estimated amounts in transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when we conclude that any significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. See Note 2 for further discussion of our unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages.
Additional Disclosures – Topic 606 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. See Note 2 for required disclosures under Topic 606.
Pre-Contract Costs
Pre-contract costs are generally charged to cost of revenue as incurred, but in certain cases their recognition may be deferred if specific probability criteria are met. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net, generally represents recoveries or provisions for bad debts and credit losses, gains or losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment, and income or expense associated with certain nonrecurring items.
- 9 -
Income Taxes
Income taxes have been provided for using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Due to state income tax laws related to the apportionment of revenue for our projects, judgment is required to estimate the effective tax rate expected to apply to tax differences that are anticipated to reverse in the future.
A valuation allowance is provided to reserve for deferred tax assets (“DTA(s)”) if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the DTAs will not be realized. The realization of our DTAs depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate differs from our statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and three months ended June 30, 2022, as
Reserves for uncertain tax positions are recognized when we consider it more likely than not that additional tax will be due in excess of amounts reflected in our income tax returns, irrespective of whether or not we have received tax assessments. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are recorded within income tax expense.
New Accounting Standards
Financial Instruments – In the first quarter 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way we evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, short-term investments, loans and other instruments, we are required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, which includes considering a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses and may potentially result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new accounting standard was adopted using the cumulative-effect transition method with any cumulative-effect adjustment being recorded to accumulated deficit on January 1, 2023. Upon adoption, we recorded a $
Business Combinations – In the first quarter 2023, we adopted ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which changes the way companies measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle of ASC 805. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

Contracts Assets and Liabilities
The timing of customer invoicing and recognition of revenue using the POC method may occur at different times. Customer invoicing is generally dependent upon contractual billing terms, which could provide for customer payments in advance of performing the work, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or billings when services are provided. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is reflected as contract assets on our Balance Sheet, or to the extent we have an unconditional right to the consideration, is reflected as contract receivables on our Balance Sheet. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized, and accrued contract losses, are reflected as contract liabilities on our Balance Sheet.

Variable Consideration
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims or incentives. However, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, certain active projects within our Shipyard Division reflected a reduction to our estimated contract price for liquidated damages of $
Changes in Project Estimates
We determine the impact of changes in estimated margins on projects for a given period by calculating the amount of revenue recognized in the period that would have been recognized in a prior period had such estimated margins been forecasted in the prior period. The total impact of changes in estimated margins for a project as disclosed on a quarterly basis may be different from the applicable year-to-date impact due to the application of the POC method and the changing progress of the project at each period end. Such impacts may also be different when a project is commenced and completed within the applicable year-to-date period but spans multiple quarters.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, significant changes in estimated margins on projects negatively impacted operating results for our Shipyard Division by $

We completed construction of the ferry in the second quarter 2023; however, in connection with the delivery and commissioning of the vessel, corrosion of the propeller blades was identified and replacement of the propeller blades may ultimately be required. Based on our preliminary estimates, we believe the incremental forecast costs associated with replacement of the propeller blades could range from $
At June 30, 2023, the vessel was substantially complete, exclusive of the potential replacement of the propeller blades. The project was in a loss position at June 30, 2023 and our reserve for estimated losses was $

The timing of payments from our insurance carriers have, and may continue to, differ from when we incur the applicable repair and cleanup costs, and accordingly, we have accounted for such differences in timing as follows:

In addition to damage to our Houma Facilities, the storm resulted in damage to one of our forty-vehicle ferry projects, the multi-purpose supply vessels (“MPSVs”) and associated equipment that are in our possession and subject to our MPSV Litigation, and certain bulkheads where the vessels were moored. We are continuing to assess the extent of the storm damage and are evaluating the extent to which any damage was the result of third-party vessels that broke free from their mooring during the storm and struck the ferry, MPSVs and bulkheads. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded charges of $

Mortgage Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement
In connection with the receipt of a consent for the Shipyard Transaction from one of our Sureties, we entered into a multiple indebtedness mortgage (“Mortgage Agreement”) and a restrictive covenant arrangement (“Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) with such Surety to secure our obligations for our MPSV projects and two forty-vehicle ferry projects. The Mortgage Agreement encumbers all remaining real estate that was not sold in connection with the Shipyard Transaction and includes certain covenants and events of default. Further, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement precludes us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares of our common stock. The Mortgage Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement will terminate when the obligations and liabilities of the Surety associated with the outstanding surety bonds are discharged, or any judgment against us or the Surety arising out of litigation related to such contracts is satisfied by us. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Routine Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of our business, primarily involving commercial disputes and claims, workers’ compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under general maritime laws of the U.S. and the Jones Act. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
MPSV Litigation
On March 19, 2018, our subsidiary, Gulf Island Shipyards, LLC (“GIS”), received termination notices from its customer, Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC (“Hornbeck”), of the contracts for the construction of
On October 2, 2018, GIS filed a lawsuit against Hornbeck to enforce its rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts for the two MPSVs. The lawsuit was filed in the Twenty-Second Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany, State of Louisiana and is styled Gulf Island Shipyards, LLC v. Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC, bearing docket number 2018-14861 (“MPSV Litigation”). Hornbeck responded to the lawsuit denying many of GIS’s allegations and asserted a counterclaim against GIS seeking damages. GIS filed a response to the counterclaim denying all of Hornbeck’s claims. Hornbeck subsequently amended its counterclaim to add claims against the Surety and additional claims against GIS.
Following previously disclosed developments in the litigation, on November 16, 2022, Hornbeck filed motions for partial summary judgment against GIS seeking the dismissal of GIS’s claim that Hornbeck wrongfully terminated the vessel construction contracts. On January 31, 2023, the trial court granted Hornbeck’s motions. GIS appealed such decision, and on March 2, 2023, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s decision, thereby reinstating GIS’s wrongful termination claim. As a result of the appellate court’s ruling, the trial, previously scheduled to begin on March 6, 2023, was rescheduled to begin on October 16, 2023. On April 3, 2023, Hornbeck filed a writ application with the Louisiana Supreme Court relating to such appellate court decision, and on May 23, 2023, the writ application was denied by the Louisiana Supreme Court.
GIS continues to believe that Hornbeck wrongfully terminated the construction contracts and is liable to GIS for damages, including amounts due to GIS for unpaid work. However, Hornbeck is seeking damages against GIS based on Hornbeck’s estimates of the cost to complete the vessels and its claims for lost profits (all of which are disputed by GIS) that together significantly exceed the face amount of the Performance Bonds. GIS believes that Hornbeck will only be entitled to recover damages if it is determined that Hornbeck rightfully terminated the construction contracts and if Hornbeck can prove it incurred damages. Further, GIS believes that Hornbeck is only entitled to recover damages for lost profits if GIS is found to have breached the construction contracts in bad faith and if the waiver of consequential damages that is included in the construction contracts is found to be ineffective. GIS also believes that Hornbeck has significantly overstated its damages, a belief that is supported by GIS and the Surety’s expert evaluations.
- 16 -
Due to inherent uncertainties of litigation, there is a range of potential favorable or unfavorable outcomes with respect to the disputed claims, and the amount of GIS’s potential recovery or loss, if any, or the timing of payment thereof, are uncertain. We can provide no assurances that GIS will not incur additional costs as it pursues its rights and remedies under the construction contracts and defends against Hornbeck’s claims. An unfavorable outcome to GIS in the litigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and would be accounted for as a reversal of previously recognized revenue with respect to the construction contracts to the extent of any loss.
At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included a net contract asset of $
Insurance
We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our business and operations. However, we may be exposed to future losses due to coverage limitations and our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to property and equipment damage, builder’s risk, third-party liability and workers’ compensation and USL&H claims. In connection with our insurance coverage renewal for our property and equipment in the second quarter 2023, we determined that the benefits of maintaining insurance coverage for our property and equipment were limited due to high premium costs and deductibles and increased coverage limitations. Accordingly, we did not renew all of our property and equipment coverage and are now generally self-insured for exposures resulting from any future damage to our property and equipment.
To the extent we have insurance coverage, we do not have an offset right for liabilities in excess of any deductibles and self-insured retentions. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for estimated amounts in excess of our deductibles and retentions, and have recorded a corresponding asset related to estimated insurance recoveries, on our Balance Sheet. Further, to the extent we are self-insured, reserves are recorded based upon our estimates, with input from legal and insurance advisors. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change. See Note 2 for discussion of insurance deductibles incurred associated with damage caused by Hurricanes Ida.
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We obtain letters of credit under our LC Facility or surety bonds from financial institutions to provide to our customers in order to secure advance payments or guarantee performance under our contracts, or in lieu of retention being withheld on our contracts. Letters of credit under our LC Facility are subject to cash securitization of the full amount of the outstanding letters of credit. In the event of non-performance under a contract, our cash securitization with respect to the letter of credit supporting such contract would become the property of Whitney Bank. With respect to surety bonds, including those relating to the construction contracts associated with our MPSV Litigation, payments by a Surety pursuant to a bond in the event of non-performance are subject to reimbursement to such Surety by us under a general indemnity agreement relating to such bond. Such indemnification obligations may include the face amount of the surety bond, or portions thereof, as well as other reimbursable items such as interest and certain investigative expenses and legal fees of the Surety. Such indemnification obligations would require us to use our cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments, and we may not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy such indemnification obligations. When a contract is complete, the contingent obligation terminates, and letters of credit or surety bonds are returned. See Note 3 for further discussion of our LC Facility and surety bonds.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws of other countries, that establish health and environmental quality standards. These standards, among others, relate to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or wastes. In connection with the historical operation of our facilities, including those associated with acquired operations, substances which currently are or might be considered hazardous were used or disposed of at some sites that will or may require us to make expenditures for remediation. We believe we are in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental laws and regulations and maintain insurance coverage to mitigate exposure to environmental liabilities. We do not believe any environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Leases
We maintain operating leases for our corporate office and certain operating facilities and equipment. See Note 1 for further discussion of our leases.

6. OPERATING SEGMENTS
We currently operate and manage our business through
Services Division – Our Services Division provides maintenance, repair, construction, scaffolding, coatings, welding enclosures and other specialty services on offshore platforms and inland structures and at industrial facilities; provides services required to connect production equipment and service modules and equipment on offshore platforms; provides project management and commissioning services; provides industrial staffing services; and performs municipal and drainage projects, including pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works. Our services activities are managed from our various Facilities and include the results of the DSS Acquisition. See Note 1 for further discussion of the DSS Acquisition.
Fabrication Division – Our Fabrication Division fabricates modules, skids and piping systems for onshore refining, petrochemical, LNG and industrial facilities and offshore facilities; fabricates foundations, secondary steel components and support structures for alternative energy developments and coastal mooring facilities; fabricates offshore production platforms and associated structures, including jacket foundations, piles and topsides for fixed production and utility platforms, as well as hulls and topsides for floating production and utility platforms; and fabricates other complex steel structures and components. Our fabrication activities are performed at our Houma Facilities.
Shipyard Division – Our Shipyard Division previously fabricated newbuild marine vessels and provided marine repair and maintenance services. However, on April 19, 2021, we sold our Shipyard Division operating assets and certain construction contracts (“Shipyard Transaction”). The Shipyard Transaction excluded the contracts and related obligations for our seventy-vehicle ferry and two forty-vehicle ferry projects (“Active Retained Shipyard Contracts”) that were under construction as of the transaction date and excluded the contracts and related obligations for the projects that are subject to our MPSV Litigation. The Active Retained Shipyard Contracts have been or will be completed at our Houma Facilities and we intend to wind down our Shipyard Division operations (which exclude the projects subject to our MPSV Litigation) by the third quarter 2023 (previously the second quarter 2023, but was delayed and is subject to the potential schedule impacts discussed in Note 2). At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the net operating liabilities on our Balance Sheet associated with our Shipyard Division operations totaled $
Corporate Division and Allocations – Our Corporate Division includes costs that do not directly relate to our operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs of maintaining our corporate office, executive management salaries and incentives, board of directors' fees, certain insurance costs and costs associated with overall corporate governance and reporting requirements for a publicly traded company. Shared resources and costs that benefit more than one operating division are allocated amongst the operating divisions based on each operating division’s estimated share of the benefit received. Such costs include, but are not limited to, human resources, insurance, information technology, accounting, business development and certain division leadership.
- 18 -
Segment Results – We generally evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our divisions based upon gross profit or loss and operating income or loss. Segment assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each division. Intersegment revenues are priced at the estimated fair value of work performed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is provided to assist readers in understanding our financial performance during the periods presented and significant trends that may impact our future performance. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. References to “Notes” relate to the Notes to our Financial Statements in Item 1. Certain terms are defined in the “Glossary of Terms” beginning on page ii.
Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information
This Report contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss our potential future performance. Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as projections or expectations relating to timing of delivery of vessels related to the Active Retained Shipyard Contracts and subsequent wind down of our Shipyard Division operations; expected exposure in the event of an adverse outcome in the MPSV Litigation; diversification and entry into new end markets; improvement of risk profile; industry outlook; oil and gas prices; timing of investment decisions and new project awards; cash flows and cash balance; capital expenditures; liquidity; and tax rates. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be,” “potential” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements.
We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include: supply chain disruptions (including global shipping and logistics challenges), inflationary pressures, economic slowdowns and recessions, banking industry disruptions, natural disasters, public health crises (such as COVID-19), labor costs and geopolitical conflicts (such as the conflict in Ukraine), and the related volatility in oil and gas prices and other factors impacting the global economy; cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry; outcome of the MPSV Litigation and our ability to resolve any other material legal proceedings; competition; reliance on significant customers; competitive pricing and cost overruns on our projects; performance of subcontractors and dependence on suppliers; timing and our ability to secure and commence execution of new project awards, including fabrication projects for refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial and sustainable energy end markets; our ability to maintain and further improve project execution; nature of our contract terms and customer adherence to such terms; suspension or termination of projects; changes in contract estimates; customer or subcontractor disputes; operating dangers, weather events and limits on insurance coverage; operability and adequacy of our major equipment; final assessment of damage at our Houma Facilities and the related recovery of any insurance proceeds; our ability to raise additional capital; our ability to amend or obtain new debt financing or credit facilities on favorable terms; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow; our ability to obtain letters of credit or surety bonds and ability to meet any indemnification obligations thereunder; consolidation of our customers; financial ability and credit worthiness of our customers; adjustments to previously reported profits or losses under the percentage-of-completion method; our ability to employ a skilled workforce; loss of key personnel; utilization of facilities or closure or consolidation of facilities; failure of our safety assurance program; barriers to entry into new lines of business; weather impacts to operations; any future asset impairments; changes in trade policies of the U.S. and other countries; compliance with regulatory and environmental laws; lack of navigability of canals and rivers; systems and information technology interruption or failure and data security breaches; performance of partners in any future joint ventures and other strategic alliances; shareholder activism; focus on environmental, social and governance factors by institutional investors and regulators; and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report as updated in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Report and as may be further updated by subsequent filings with the SEC.
Additional factors or risks that we currently deem immaterial, that are not presently known to us or that arise in the future could also cause our actual results to differ materially from our expected results. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, which we cannot control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We caution investors that we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances, or otherwise, and notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.

Overview
We are a leading fabricator of complex steel structures and modules and provider of specialty services, including project management, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance, scaffolding, coatings, welding enclosures, civil construction and staffing services to the industrial and energy sectors. Our customers include U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers; refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial and power operators; and EPC companies. We currently operate and manage our business through three operating divisions (“Services”, “Fabrication” and “Shipyard”) and one non-operating division (“Corporate”), which represent our reportable segments. Our corporate headquarters is located in The Woodlands, Texas, and our primary operating facilities are located in Houma, Louisiana (“Houma Facilities”). See Note 6 for further discussion of our reportable segments.
On April 19, 2021, we sold our Shipyard Division operating assets and certain construction contracts (“Shipyard Transaction”) and intend to wind down our remaining Shipyard Division operations (which exclude the projects that are subject to our MPSV Litigation) by the third quarter 2023 (previously the second quarter 2023, but was delayed and is subject to the potential schedule impacts discussed in Note 2). See Note 1 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction and Note 4 for discussion of our MPSV Litigation.
On December 1, 2021, we acquired a services and industrial staffing business (“DSS Acquisition,”) which increased our skilled workforce, further diversified our customer base and expanded our service offerings for our Services Division. See Note 1 for further discussion of the DSS Acquisition.
Impacts of Oil and Gas Price Volatility and Macroeconomic Conditions on Operations
Since 2008, the prices of oil and gas have experienced significant volatility, including depressed prices over extended periods, resulting in reductions in capital spending and drilling activities from our traditional offshore oil and gas customer base. Consequently, our operating results and cash flows were negatively impacted as we experienced reductions in revenue, lower margins due to competitive pricing and under-utilization of our operating facilities and resources. Beginning in 2020, the global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) added another layer of pressure and uncertainty on oil and gas prices (with oil prices reaching a twenty-year low and gas prices reaching a four-year low), which further negatively impacted certain of our end markets during the first quarter 2022. This volatility in oil and gas prices was compounded by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 (and the related European energy crisis), and the U.S. and other countries actions in response (with oil prices reaching an eight-year high and gas prices reaching a fourteen-year high), which positively impacted certain of our end markets. While oil and gas prices have somewhat stabilized, the duration of such stability is uncertain and difficult to predict.
In addition, global economic factors that are beyond our control, have and could continue to impact our operations, including, but are not limited to, supply chain disruptions (including global shipping and logistics challenges that began in 2020), inflationary pressures, economic slowdowns and recessions, bank failures, natural disasters, public health crises (such as COVID-19), and geopolitical conflicts (such as the conflict in Ukraine).
The ultimate business and financial impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions on our business and results of operations continues to be uncertain, but the impacts have included, or may continue to include, among other things, reduced bidding activity; suspension or termination of backlog; deterioration of customer financial condition; and unanticipated project costs and schedule delays due to supply chain disruptions, labor and material price increases, lower labor productivity, increased employee and contractor absenteeism and turnover, craft labor hiring challenges, increased safety incidents, lack of performance by subcontractors and suppliers, and contract disputes. We continue to monitor the impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions on our operations, and our estimates in future periods will be revised for any events and changes in circumstances arising after the date of this Report. See Note 1 for further discussion of the impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions and Note 2 for further discussion of the impacts of the aforementioned on our projects. See also “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report as updated in this Report.
Other Impacts to Operations
Hurricane Ida – On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall near Houma, Louisiana as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with high winds and heavy rains causing damage to buildings and equipment at our Houma Facilities and resulting in significant debris throughout the facility. See Note 2 for further discussion of the impacts of Hurricane Ida.
Ferry Projects – We have experienced construction challenges and cost increases on our seventy-vehicle ferry and forty-vehicle ferry projects. See Note 2 for further discussion of our project impacts.

Initiatives to Improve Operating Results and Generate Stable, Profitable Growth
We previously outlined a strategy to address our operational, market and economic challenges and position the Company to generate stable, profitable growth. Underpinning the first phase of our strategic transformation was a focus on the following initiatives:
With the significant progress achieved on these objectives, we have shifted our focus to the next phase of our strategic transformation, which is focused on generating stable, profitable growth. Underpinning this strategy is a focus on the following initiatives:
Progress on our Strategic Transformation Initiatives
Efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations and workforce – We continue to take actions to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations and maintain a safe work environment for our workforce, including maintaining protocols for handling employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have come in contact with individuals that have tested positive for COVID-19. In addition, we have protocols for employees to return to work that test positive for COVID-19, including requiring a negative COVID-19 antigen test prior to returning to work.
Efforts to reduce our risk profile – The completion of the Shipyard Transaction improved our risk profile by removing potential future risks associated with certain construction contracts that represented approximately 90% of our backlog with durations that extended through 2024. The Active Retained Shipyard Contracts have been or will be completed at our Houma Facilities and we are winding down our Shipyard Division operations, which is currently anticipated to occur by the third quarter 2023 (previously the second quarter 2023, but was delayed and is subject to the potential schedule impacts discussed in Note 2). The wind down of our Shipyard Division operations does not include our contracts and related obligations for the projects that are subject to our MPSV Litigation. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction and Note 4 for further discussion of our MPSV Litigation.

Efforts to preserve and improve our liquidity – We continue to take actions to preserve and improve our liquidity, including cost reduction initiatives, monetization of under-utilized assets and facilities, and an ongoing focus on project cash flow management. In addition, as a result of the Shipyard Transaction and anticipated wind down of our Shipyard Division operations (which exclude the projects that are subject to our MPSV Litigation), our bonding, letters of credit and working capital requirements for our remaining Shipyard Division operations were significantly reduced. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Shipyard Transaction, Note 3 for further discussion of our outstanding bonds and letters of credit and Note 4 for further discussion of our MPSV Litigation.
Efforts to improve our resource utilization and centralize key project resources – We have improved our resource utilization and centralized key project resources through the rationalization and integration of our facilities and operations.
Efforts to improve our competitiveness, project execution and bidding discipline – We have taken, and continue to take, actions to improve our competitiveness and project execution by enhancing our proposal, estimating and operations resources, processes and procedures. Our actions include strategic changes in management and key personnel, the addition of functional expertise, project management training, development of a formal “lessons learned” program, and other measures designed to strengthen our personnel, processes and procedures. Further, we are taking a disciplined approach to pursuing and bidding project opportunities, putting more rigor around our bid estimates to provide greater confidence that our estimates are achievable, increasing accountability and providing incentives for the execution of projects in line with our original estimates and subsequent forecasts, and incorporating previous experience into the bidding and execution of future projects. Additionally, we are focused on managing the risks associated with long-term fixed price contracts given the unpredictability of labor availability and labor and material costs, with a priority on increasing the mix of T&M contracts in our backlog.
Efforts to expand our skilled workforce – We are focused on ways to improve retention and enhance and add to our skilled, craft personnel, as we believe a strong workforce will be a key differentiator in pursuing new project awards given the scarcity of available skilled labor. The DSS Acquisition in the fourth quarter 2021 nearly doubled our skilled workforce and expanded our geographic footprint for skilled labor, which we believe will contribute to the retention and recruitment of personnel. We have successfully maintained our headcount levels for our Services Division and have opportunistically looked to shift our workforce to higher margin opportunities given the industry-wide labor constraints. See “Overview” above and Note 1 for further discussion of the DSS Acquisition.
- 23 -
Efforts to diversify our offshore services customer base, increase our offshore services offerings and expand our services business to include onshore facilities along the Gulf Coast – We believe diversifying and expanding our services business will deliver a more stable revenue stream while providing underpinning work to recruit, develop and retain our craft professionals. The DSS Acquisition in the fourth quarter 2021 accelerated our progress in this initiative and provides a stronger platform to continue such progress. Further, in the third quarter 2022, we made capital and other investments to expand our offshore services offering to include welding enclosures, which provide a safe environment for welding, cutting and burning without the need to shut down operations. We are also pursuing opportunities to partner with original equipment manufacturers to provide critical services to our customers along the Gulf Coast and strategic partnership opportunities with engineering companies to provide turnkey solutions. See “Overview” above and Note 1 for further discussion of the DSS Acquisition.
Efforts to pursue opportunities in our traditional offshore fabrication markets – We continue to fabricate structures associated with our traditional offshore markets, including subsea and associated structures. During the third quarter 2022, we were awarded a large contract for the fabrication of jacket foundations for an offshore project; however, the project was suspended in February 2023 and cancelled in July 2023. See “New Project Awards and Backlog” below and Note 2 for further discussion of the project cancellation.
Efforts to reduce our reliance on the offshore oil and gas construction sector, pursue new growth end markets and increase our T&M versus fixed price revenue mix – While we continue to pursue opportunities in our traditional offshore markets, we are pursuing initiatives to grow our business and diversify our revenue mix.

Operating Outlook
Our focus remains on securing profitable new project awards and backlog and generating operating income and cash flows, while ensuring the safety and well-being of our workforce. Our success, including achieving the aforementioned initiatives, will be determined by, among other things:
In addition, the near-term utilization of our Fabrication Division will be impacted by the timing of new project awards and their execution and our cancelled offshore jackets project, and our operations may continue to be impacted by inefficiencies and disruptions associated with employee turnover, craft labor hiring challenges, engineering delays, and supplier and subcontractor disruptions. Our results may also be adversely affected by (i) costs associated with the retention of certain personnel that may be temporarily under-utilized as we evaluate our resource requirements to support our future operations, (ii) investments in key personnel and process improvement efforts to support our aforementioned initiatives, and (iii) higher costs and availability of craft labor due to industry labor constraints. See Note 1 for further discussion of the impacts of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions, “Results of Operations” below and Note 2 for further discussion of our project impacts, and “New Project Awards and Backlog” below and Note 2 for further discussion of the project cancellation.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Financial Statements, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 included in our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2022.
New Project Awards and Backlog
New project awards represent expected revenue values of commitments received during a given period, including scope growth on existing commitments. A commitment represents authorization from our customer to begin work or purchase materials pursuant to a written agreement, letter of intent or other form of authorization. Backlog represents the unrecognized revenue for our new project awards and at June 30, 2023, was consistent with the value of remaining performance obligations for our contracts required to be disclosed under Topic 606 and presented in Note 2. In general, a performance obligation is a contractual obligation to construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. We believe that backlog, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors as it represents work that we are obligated to perform under our current contracts. New project awards and backlog may vary significantly each reporting period based on the timing of our major new contract commitments.
- 25 -
Projects in our backlog are generally subject to delay, suspension, termination, or an increase or decrease in scope at the option of the customer; however, the customer is required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination, suspension, or decrease in scope. Depending on the size of the project, the delay, suspension, termination or increase or decrease in scope of any one contract could significantly impact our backlog and change the expected amount and timing of revenue recognized.

See “Operating Segments” below and Note 2 for further discussion of our project impacts.
General and administrative expense – General and administrative expense for 2023 and 2022 was $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 14.0%. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal and advisory fees associated with our MPSV Litigation for our Shipyard Division. General and administrative expense included legal and advisory fees of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively, associated with our MPSV Litigation, which are reflected within our Shipyard Division. See Note 4 for further discussion of our MPSV Litigation.

Gross profit for 2023 was primarily impacted by the partial under-recovery of overhead costs due to the under-utilization of our facilities and resources due to low work hours. The gross profit for 2023 relative to the gross loss for 2022 was primarily due to:
The Fabrication Division utilization for 2022 benefited by $0.2 million from providing resources and facilities to our Shipyard Division for our seventy-vehicle ferry and forty-vehicle ferry projects. See Note 2 for further discussion of our project impacts.
General and administrative expense – General and administrative expense for 2023 and 2022 was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 17.1%. The decrease was primarily due to various cost savings.
Other (income) expense, net – Other (income) expense, net for 2023 and 2022 was income of $0.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Other income for 2023 was primarily due to miscellaneous income items. Other income for 2022 was primarily due to gains of $3.4 million related to the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida to buildings and equipment at our Houma Facilities.

References below to 2023 and 2022 refer to the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
New project awards – New project awards for 2023 and 2022 were $74.9 million and $63.1 million respectively. New project awards for both periods were primarily related to:
Revenue – Revenue for 2023 and 2022 was $101.5 million and $64.6 million, respectively, representing an increase of 57.1%. The increase was primarily due to:
Gross profit – Gross profit for 2023 and 2022 was $9.5 million (9.4% of revenue) and $1.3 million (1.9% of revenue), respectively. Gross profit for 2023 was primarily impacted by:
- 32 -
The increase in gross profit for 2023 relative to 2022 was primarily due to:
See “Operating Segments” below and Note 2 for further discussion of our project impacts.
General and administrative expense – General and administrative expense for 2023 and 2022 was $8.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of 4.1%. The increase was primarily due to higher legal and advisory fees associated with our MPSV Litigation for our Shipyard Division. General and administrative expense included legal and advisory fees of $2.3 million and $1.7 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively, associated with our MPSV Litigation, which are reflected within our Shipyard Division. See Note 4 for further discussion of our MPSV Litigation.
Other (income) expense, net – Other (income) expense, net for 2023 and 2022 was income of $0.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Other (income) expense, net generally represents recoveries or provisions for bad debts and credit losses, gains or losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment, and income or expense associated with certain nonrecurring items. Other income for 2023 was primarily due to:
Other income for 2022 was primarily due to:
See Note 2 for further discussion of the impacts of Hurricanes Ida.
Interest (expense) income, net – Interest (expense) income, net for 2023 and 2022 was income of $0.7 million and expense of $0.1 million, respectively. Interest (expense) income, net for both periods included the net impact of interest earned on our cash and short-term investment balances and interest incurred on the unused portion of our LC Facility and on our Insurance Finance Arrangements. The income for 2023 relative to expense for 2022 was primarily due to higher interest earned on our cash and short-term investment balances for the 2023 period.
Income tax (expense) benefit – Income tax (expense) benefit for 2023 and 2022 represents state income taxes. No federal income tax expense was recorded for our income for 2023 as it was fully offset by the reversal of valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets, and no federal income tax benefit was recorded for our loss for 2022 as a full valuation allowance was recorded against our net deferred tax assets generated during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Available Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and scheduled maturities of our short-term investments. At June 30, 2023, our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled $40.2 million, as follows (in thousands):

Our available liquidity is impacted by changes in our working capital and our capital expenditure requirements. Fluctuations in our working capital, and its components, are not unusual in our business and are impacted by the size of our projects and the mix of our backlog. Our working capital is particularly impacted by the timing of new project awards and related payments in advance of performing work, and the subsequent achievement of billing milestones or project progress on backlog. Working capital is also impacted at period-end by the timing of contract receivables collections and accounts payable payments on our projects.
At June 30, 2023, our working capital was $59.6 million and included $40.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. Excluding cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, our working capital at June 30, 2023 was $19.4 million, and consisted of: net contract assets and contract liabilities of $3.6 million; contract receivables and retainage of $36.3 million; inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.7 million; and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $28.2 million. The components of our working capital (excluding cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash) at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and changes in such amounts during the six months ended June 30, 2023, were as follows (in thousands):

Operating Activities – Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $2.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and was primarily due to the net impacts of the following:
2023 Activity
2022 Activity
Investing Activities – Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $6.0 million and cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.5 million. Cash used in investing activities for 2023 was primarily due to net purchases of short-term investments of $5.3 million and capital expenditures of $1.1 million, offset partially by recoveries from insurance claims and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. Cash provided by investing activities for 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from the Shipyard Transaction of $0.9 million and the sale of fixed assets, offset partially by capital expenditures of $0.5 million.
- 38 -
Financing Activities – Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for 2023 and 2022 was primarily due to payments on our Insurance Finance Arrangements of $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and tax payments made on behalf of employees from vested stock withholdings. See Note 3 for further discussion of our Insurance Finance Arrangements.
Credit Facilities
See Note 3 for discussion of our LC Facility, Surety Bonds, Insurance Finance Arrangements, Mortgage Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
Registration Statement
We have a shelf registration statement that is effective with the SEC that expires on November 27, 2023. The shelf registration statement enables us to issue up to $200.0 million in either debt or equity securities, or a combination thereof, from time to time subsequent to the filing of a prospectus supplement, which among other things, identifies the underwriter, dealer or agent, specifies the number and value of securities that may be sold, and provides a time frame over which the securities may be offered.
Liquidity Outlook
We have made significant progress in our efforts to preserve and improve our liquidity, including cost reductions, the sale of under-utilized assets and facilities, an improved overall cash flow position on our projects in backlog and the completion of the Shipyard Transaction. The primary uses of our liquidity for the remainder of 2023 and the foreseeable future are to fund:
We anticipate capital expenditures of $3.0 million to $3.5 million for the remainder of 2023, excluding any future expenditures for deductibles and uninsured losses, if any, associated with damage caused by Hurricane Ida, that may be determined to be capital items. Further investments in facilities may be required to win and execute potential new project awards, which are not included in these estimates.
- 39 -
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2023, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and satisfy any debt service obligations or other funding requirements, for at least twelve months from the date of this Report. Our evaluation of the sufficiency of our cash and liquidity is primarily based on our financial forecast for 2023 and 2024, which is impacted by our existing backlog and estimates of future new project awards and may be further impacted by the ongoing effects of oil and gas price volatility and macroeconomic conditions, as well as the outcome of our MPSV Litigation and any related indemnification obligations to the Surety, and future losses, if any, due to coverage limitations and our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to property and equipment damage, builder’s risk, third-party liability and workers’ compensation and USL&H claims. We can provide no assurances that our financial forecast will be achieved or that we will have sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet planned operating expenses and unforeseen cash requirements. Accordingly, we may be required to obtain new or additional credit facilities, sell additional assets or conduct equity or debt offerings at a time when it is not beneficial to do so.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any contract or other obligation not included on our Balance Sheet that has, or is reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
During the second quarter 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Note 4 of our Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for discussion of our legal proceedings, including our MPSV Litigation, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to our risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2022 Annual Report, except for the risk factors included below, which were previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2022 Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with such risk factors set forth therein. The following risk factors are amended and restated as follows:
We could be exposed to potentially significant liability and costs due to limits on our insurance coverage and losses for which we do not have third-party insurance coverage.
The fabrication of structures and the services we provide involves operating hazards that can cause accidents resulting in personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and suspension of operations.
In addition, due to the proximity to the GOM, our facilities are subject to the possibility of physical damage caused by hurricanes or flooding. For example, in 2021, Hurricane Ida damaged our buildings and equipment and vessels under construction and in our possession, at our Houma Facilities, which resulted in repair and replacement costs in excess of our deductible amounts. See the risk factor below titled “We are susceptible to adverse weather conditions in our market areas” for further discussion of the impacts of adverse weather conditions to our operations.
Further, our employees may engage in certain activities that are covered by the provisions of the Jones Act or USL&H, including services conducted on offshore platforms, services performed on barges owned or chartered by us, and construction activities associated with marine vessels that are performed at our facilities. These laws make the liability limits established under state workers’ compensation laws inapplicable to these employees and, instead, permit them or their representatives to pursue actions against us for damages or job-related injuries, with generally no limitations on our potential liability. Our ownership and operation of vessels and our fabrication of customer vessels can also give rise to large and varied liability risks, such as risks of collisions with other vessels or structures, sinking, fires and other marine casualties, which can result in significant claims for damages against both us and third parties. Litigation arising from any such occurrences may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.
We may be exposed to future losses due to coverage limitations and our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to property and equipment damage, builder’s risk, third-party liability and workers’ compensation and USL&H claims. For any such exposure, we will rely on existing liquidity and cash flows to meet obligations that would arise from an incident or series of events. The occurrence of a significant incident, series of events, or unforeseen liability for which we are self-insured or not fully insured, or for which insurance recovery is significantly delayed, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable or that our insurance coverages will be adequate to cover claims that may arise. Changes in the insurance industry have generally led to higher insurance costs and decreased availability of coverage. The availability of insurance that covers risks we typically insure against may decrease, and the insurance that we are able to obtain may have higher deductibles, higher premiums and more restrictive policy terms. In connection with our insurance coverage renewal for our property and equipment in the second quarter 2023, we determined that the benefits of maintaining insurance coverage for our property and equipment were limited due to high premium costs and deductibles and increased coverage limitations. Accordingly, we did not renew all of our property and equipment coverage and are now generally self-insured for exposures resulting from any future damage to our property and equipment. To the extent we are self-insured, reserves are recorded based upon our estimates, with input from legal and insurance advisors. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change. See Note 4 for further discussion of our insurance coverages.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations.
Our ability to fund operations depends on our ability to generate future cash flows from operations. This, to a large extent, is subject to conditions in the oil and gas industry, including commodity prices, demand for our services and the prices we are able to charge for our services, general economic and financial conditions, competition in the markets in which we operate, the impact of legislative and regulatory actions on how we conduct our business and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. During 2022 and 2021, we experienced negative cash flows from operations, and this trend could continue if global macroeconomic conditions continue or worsen or oil and gas prices decline significantly resulting in delayed or suspended capital expenditures by customers, or if we were to experience losses on our projects or in any pending litigation. Additionally, exposure to future losses due to coverage limitations and our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to property and equipment damage, builder’s risk, third-party liability and workers’ compensation and USL&H claims, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 2 for further discussion of our business outlook and the risk factor above titled “We could be exposed to potentially significant liability and costs due to limits on our insurance coverage and losses for which we do not have third-party insurance coverage”.
We are susceptible to adverse weather conditions in our market areas.
Our operations may be subject to seasonal variations due to weather conditions and daylight hours, and to the extent climate change results in an increase in extreme adverse weather conditions, the likelihood of a negative impact on our operations may increase. Although we have large covered fabrication facilities, a significant amount of our fabrication activities continues to take place outdoors, and accordingly, the number of labor hours worked may decline during the winter months due to unfavorable weather conditions and a decrease in daylight hours. In addition, the seasonality of oil and gas industry activity in the GOM also affects our operations. Our offshore oil and gas customers often schedule the completion of their projects during the summer months in order to take advantage of more favorable weather during such months. Further, rainy weather, tropical storms, hurricanes and other storms prevalent in the GOM and along the Gulf Coast may also affect our operations. For example, in 2021, we experienced damage to our Houma Facilities due to Hurricane Ida, which made landfall as high-end Category 4 hurricane. Beyond financial and regulatory impacts, climate change poses potential physical risks. Scientific studies forecast that these risks include increases in sea levels, stresses on water supply, rising average temperatures and other changes in weather conditions, such as increases in precipitation and extreme weather events, such as floods, heat waves, hurricanes and other tropical storms and cyclones. The projected physical effects of climate change have the potential to directly affect the operations we conduct for customers and result in increased costs related to our operations. However, because the nature and timing of changes in extreme weather events (such as increased frequency, duration, and severity) are uncertain, it is not possible for us to estimate reliably the future financial risk to our operations caused by these potential physical risks. The impact of severe weather conditions or natural disasters has included and may continue to include the disruption of our workforce; curtailment of services; weather-related damage to our facilities and equipment, for which we are generally self-insured, and impacts from infrastructure challenges in the surrounding areas, resulting in suspension of operations; inability to deliver equipment, personnel and products to project sites in accordance with contract schedules; and loss of productivity. Our suppliers and subcontractors are also subject to severe weather and natural or environmental disasters that have in the past and could in the future affect their ability to deliver products or services or otherwise perform under their contracts. Furthermore, our customers’ operations have been and in the future may be materially and adversely affected by severe weather and seasonal weather conditions, including Hurricane Ida, resulting in reduced demand for our services. See “Overview” in Item 2 and Note 2 for further discussion of the impacts of adverse weather conditions to our operations and the risk factor above titled “We could be exposed to potentially significant liability and costs due to limits on our insurance coverage and losses for which we do not have third-party insurance coverage”.
