2022 Outlook 19

GRAPHIC

20 2022 OUTLOOK We continue to expect 2022 to be a transition year for Helix, where we see an improving energy environment, despite a tepid macro backdrop, with higher commodity prices as we continue to recover from the pandemic. In the second half 2022, we anticipate a stronger North Sea Well Intervention market, and we expect to redeploy the Siem Helix 1 to Brazil for Trident Energy and to transition the Q7000 to the Asia Pacific region. Our first quarter represented what we expect will be our most challenging, with regulatory inspections on four vessels, the Siem Helix 1 on reduced rates, and the seasonally slow North Sea with limited utilization on both North Sea intervention vessels during the quarter. • Q4000 and Q5000 (Gulf of Mexico) – expect strong utilization during 2022 including planned regulatory inspections for both vessels • Well Enhancer and Seawell (North Sea) –expect slowly recovering market and regulatory inspections for both vessels during first half 2022 followed by improved utilization • Q7000 (West Africa, Asia Pacific)–West Africa campaign into April followed by planned maintenance period; subsequent planned transit to Asia Pacific prior to commencement of decommissioning work offshore New Zealand • Siem Helix 1 and Siem Helix 2 (Brazil) –transition year with Siem Helix 1 contracted to resume intervention work Q4 and Siem Helix 2 on Petrobras contract at reduced rates through late 2022; both vessels have regulatory dockings in 2022 • Robotics –expect stronger 2022, similar to 2020, with expected increased trenching activity in the North Sea, increased vessel activity in the U.S. region including renewables projects, and increased ROV activity

GRAPHIC

21 2022 OUTLOOK –WELL INTERVENTION • Q4000 (Gulf of Mexico) –started regulatory inspection early April and expect to commence operations early May; contracted work in Q2 and Q3 with expected strong utilization for remainder of the year • Q5000 (Gulf of Mexico) – contracted work through Q3 with identified opportunities for remainder of the year • IRS rental units (Gulf of Mexico) –15K IRS has contracted backlog through late Q2 with visibility during remainder of the year; 10K IRS available in the spot market with limited visibility • WellEnhancer (North Sea) –contracted work beginning mid-Q2 expected into Q4 with identified opportunities during remainder of the year • Seawell (North Sea) –completed regulatory inspection early Q2; contracted work in Q2 and Q3 with scheduling gaps, with visibility during Q4 • Q7000 (West Africa, Asia Pacific) – completed Nigeria operations early Q2 and transited to Namibia for approximate 40-day maintenance period; thereafter possible additional opportunities in West Africa prior to expected transit to the Asia Pacific region with an approximate 30-day docking followed by decommissioning campaign offshore New Zealand expected to commence Q4 • Siem Helix 1 (Brazil) –working on accommodations project offshore Ghana at reduced rates expected through mid-year followed by transit to Brazil and an approximate 30-day scheduled maintenance period with identified opportunities until recommencing intervention work on two-year contract beginning Q4 • Siem Helix 2 (Brazil) –under contract for Petrobras through mid-December

GRAPHIC

22 • Grand Canyon II (Asia Pacific) –performed ROV support work for decommissioning project offshore Thailand through late April followed by transit to Taiwan for ROV support work on windfarm project expected through late Q3; expected to have high utilization in 2022 before current charter expiration date at end of the year • Grand Canyon III (North Sea) –performing short trenching scopes in April and expected to commence its seasonal trenching campaign early May into Q4; good visibility and strong utilization through year end • Renewables site clearance –participating in boulder removal project using spot vessels expected to continue into Q3; pursuing other site clearance projects for remainder of the year • Horizon Enabler (North Sea)–seasonal charter with flexible terms intended to be used as a second trenching vessel in North Sea; expected to commence trenching work late Q2 • Shelia Bordelon (U.S.) – expected to have high utilization through Q3, including at least 90 days of windfarm support work off U.S. east coast expected to begin mid to late Q2 with follow-on opportunities and good visibility for remainder of the year 2022 OUTLOOK –ROBOTICS
