EX-99.1 2 a5396442ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 McDermott reports First Quarter 2007 Results; Net Income of $158.1 million, $1.38 per fully diluted share Offshore Oil & Gas Construction Segment has outstanding quarter, led by international operations Government Operations & Power Generation achieved strong operating income growth HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2007--McDermott International, Inc. (NYSE:MDR) ("McDermott" or the "Company") today reported net income of $158.1 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the 2007 first quarter, compared to net income of $55.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2006. Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 114.2 million and 113.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. For the 2006 quarter, McDermott's common shares outstanding and earnings per share are adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split effected in May 2006. McDermott's revenues in the first quarter of 2007 were $1,363.4 million, compared to $644.9 million in the corresponding period in 2006. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to three months of The Babcock & Wilcox Company's ("B&W") revenues in 2007 first quarter, compared to only one month during the 2006 quarter, as B&W was reconsolidated with the Company in March last year. Additionally, revenues in the Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment increased 86 percent compared to a year ago due to strong industry demand. Operating income was $192.5 million in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $67.7 million in the 2006 first quarter. The improvement in operating income is primarily attributable to a 446 percent increase in segment income in the Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment. In addition, the Company's other segments, Government Operations and Power Generation Systems, increased segment income by 31.8 percent and 57.8 percent, respectively, while unallocated corporate expenses declined. "At McDermott, we generally avoid over-emphasizing any given quarter as our results, and the industry in general, are inherently lumpy. However, the first quarter was truly outstanding for us and is a terrific start to 2007," said Bruce W. Wilkinson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. "During the quarter, the Company experienced near flawless execution of our backlog, we delivered profits ahead of forecast and successfully realized income opportunities while mitigating risks. The combination of these factors with our active workload allowed McDermott to deliver earnings that far surpassed our own expectations." At March 31, 2007, McDermott's consolidated backlog was $7.9 billion, compared to $5.9 billion at March 31, 2006 and $7.6 billion at December 31, 2006. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2007 First Quarter Compared to 2006 First Quarter Offshore Oil & Gas Construction Segment ("J. Ray") Revenues in the Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment were $550.3 million in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $295.4 million for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in revenues resulted primarily from increased activity in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Caspian regions. Segment income for the 2007 first quarter was $121.2 million, compared to $22.2 million in the 2006 first quarter. Each major region contributed to the improvement, led by the increased activities in the Middle East. In addition, project close-outs, change orders and settlements were particularly strong during the first quarter of 2007, with J. Ray realizing approximately $40 million in segment income from these items. In the 2006 first quarter, J. Ray's segment income was reduced by a non-cash impairment of $16.4 million related to accumulated currency translation losses. At March 31, 2007, J. Ray's backlog was $4.2 billion, compared to backlog of $2.4 billion and $4.1 billion at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Power Generation Systems Segment ("B&W") Revenues in the Power Generation Systems segment for the first quarter 2007 were $655.4 million, compared to $189.0 million reported in the first quarter of 2006 which included only one month of B&W's financial results. Between February 2000 and February 2006, B&W was deconsolidated from the Company's reported financial statements. Segment income for the 2007 first quarter was $43.5 million, compared to $27.6 million in the 2006 first quarter. The improvement in segment income resulted primarily from improved margins in B&W's service and parts business, and increased activity during the 2007 first quarter for new boilers and retrofit projects. At March 31, 2007, B&W's backlog was $2.3 billion compared to backlog of $1.9 billion and $2.2 billion at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Backlog at March 31, 2007 excludes the amounts associated with three TXU boiler and SCR contracts that B&W continues to fulfill, but the respective amounts will be rebooked should a new buyer or buyers contract for one of more of these units. Government Operations Segment ("BWXT") Revenues in the Government Operations segment were $161.4 million in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $161.0 million for the same period a year ago. Segment income for the 2007 first quarter was $34.8 million, compared to $26.4 million in the 2006 first quarter. The improvement was primarily due to increased activity and higher margins from the manufacture of nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, including the recognition of savings associated with the previously announced completion of a multi-award agreement with the Department of Energy. At March 31, 2007, BWXT's backlog was $1.5 billion, compared to backlog of $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Corporate Unallocated corporate expenses were $6.9 million in the 2007 first quarter, compared to $8.4 million in the 2006 first quarter. The decrease was primarily related to lower stock based compensation expenses. Other Income and Expense The Company's other expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $1.1 million, compared to other income of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. The year-over-year variance is primarily due to a $13.2 million benefit from tax-related interest adjustments that occurred in the first quarter a year ago, partially offset by a $5.5 million improvement in net interest income/expense compared to the 2006 first quarter due to improved cash and investment balances.
