Consolidated Overview

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $57.6 million, compared to $79.4 million for the fourth quarter 2019, with the year-over-year decrease primarily attributable to the Company’s Fabrication & Services Division, and to a lesser extent, its Shipyard Division. Consolidated net loss for the quarter was $15.4 million with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.2 million. Fourth quarter 2020 results were impacted by project charges for the Company’s Shipyard Division and non-cash impairments for both the Fabrication & Services and Shipyard Divisions. In addition, fourth quarter results reflected low volume for the Fabrication & Services Division and the overall under-utilization of the Company’s facilities and resources.

“In the fourth quarter, our Fabrication & Services Division realized improved results despite market headwinds from the economic impact of COVID-19 and volatile oil prices, as we further leveraged process improvement efforts and cost savings from our prior combination of the Fabrication and Services segments. However, our Shipyard Division continued to be impacted by a backlog that is largely in a loss position, as well as design and rework challenges on our two forty-vehicle ferry projects, which resulted in project charges during the quarter. We believe that any design-related impacts to the ferries are the responsibility of the customer and we will be submitting a claim to recover the costs of these items. Despite these issues, our Shipyard Division completed our final two harbor tugs and delivered the last tug in January 2021,” said Richard Heo, Gulf Island’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“In regard to our U.S. Navy contract, we negotiated an amendment to provide the Navy with data access rights for future towing, salvage and rescue ships. The change order supports the Navy’s decision not to exercise their options under our contract for the construction of three additional vessels. I believe this decision was best for both the Navy and Gulf Island, and we expect to see a net benefit to our operating results in the first quarter 2021. We are focused on completing the vessels in our backlog and working with the Navy on future newbuild opportunities.”

“With respect to our Fabrication & Services Division, project execution was solid during the quarter and we realized positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter in a row. While we did experience a negative impact from the under-utilization of our facilities due to low backlog levels, the quarter reflected a favorable margin mix on our smaller fabrication projects and offshore services work. We are also seeing increased project bidding activity and are well-positioned given the strategic initiatives implemented over the past year.”

“We continue to focus on maximizing our resource utilization by capturing further efficiencies and reducing our cost structure.  During the quarter, we completed the previously announced closure of our Jennings facility and initiated and completed the closure of our Lake Charles facility.” 

“While COVID-19 and oil price uncertainty are still weighing on customer decision-making and impacting utilization levels, we have substantially strengthened our foundation over the past year through consolidation of our resources and process improvements, implementing changes in certain management and functional leadership, and expanding our end market focus with the goal of reducing our reliance on the offshore oil and gas industry. We will continue to focus on managing those things that are within our control with continued discipline in pursuing new projects, rigorous execution and ongoing preservation of our cash. I believe we are entering 2021 better positioned to ultimately drive profitable growth,” concluded Mr. Heo.

Segment Overview

Shipyard Segment – Revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $37.2 million, a decrease of $10.5 million compared to the fourth quarter 2019, primarily due to lower revenue for the division’s harbor tug, research vessel, ice-breaker tug and towboat projects.  The revenue decrease was partially offset by higher revenue for the division’s towing, salvage and rescue ship projects. Operating loss was $11.5 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to an operating loss of $18.6 million for the fourth quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter was a loss of $9.0 million, compared to a loss of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter 2019.

Fourth quarter 2020 results included project charges of $8.8 million, primarily due to the division’s forty-vehicle ferry projects, and to a lesser extent, its seventy-vehicle ferry project, towing, salvage and rescue ship projects, and final harbor tug project.  Results also included charges of $1.6 million related to non-cash impairments of fixed assets and costs associated with closing the Company’s Jennings and Lake Charles facilities, as well as the impact of a low margin backlog and the partial under-recovery of overhead costs. 

Fabrication & Services Segment – Revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $21.2 million, a decrease of $12.0 million compared to the fourth quarter 2019, primarily due to the division’s jacket and deck and paddlewheel river boat projects, which were completed prior to the fourth quarter 2020, and a lower level of small fabrication and onshore services activity. The revenue decrease was partially offset by revenue from the division’s marine docking structures project awarded in the second quarter 2020 and offshore modules project awarded in the fourth quarter 2019. Operating loss was $1.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to an operating loss of $12.7 million for the fourth quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter was $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $2.5 million for the fourth quarter 2019.

Fourth quarter 2020 results included charges of $2.4 million related to non-cash impairments of assets held for sale and certain fixed assets associated with the relocation and consolidation of such assets to improve operational efficiency. Results also reflected the impact of low revenue and the partial under-recovery of overhead costs due to the under-utilization of the division’s facilities and resources.

Corporate Segment – Operating loss was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter 2019, with the decrease primarily due to lower legal fees and the prior year period including certain non-recurring costs of $0.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter was a loss of $2.1 million, compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the fourth quarter 2019.

Cash and Liquidity

The Company’s cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2020 totaled $51.2 million and current and long-term debt totaled $10.0 million related to proceeds received in the second quarter 2020 in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).   

On March 26, 2021, the Company amended its $40.0 million revolving credit facility and converted it into a letter of credit only facility with a capacity of $20.0 million, subject to cash securitization of the letters of credit, with a maturity date of June 30, 2023. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $10.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. 

Backlog

The Company’s backlog at December 31, 2020 was $371.6 million, with $352.2 million attributable to the Shipyard Division and $19.4 million attributable to the Fabrication & Services Division. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of Backlog.

Non-GAAP Measures

This Release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA and Backlog. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's operating results excluding the non-cash impacts of depreciation and amortization. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company’s EBITDA excluding non-cash impacts of impairments and other impacts which the Company believes are non-recurring. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure are presented under "Results of Operations by Segment" below. The Company believes Backlog is a useful supplemental measure as it represents work that the Company is contractually obligated to perform under its current contracts. Backlog represents the unearned value of new project awards and may differ from the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts as determined under GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be replacements or alternatives to GAAP measures, and investors are urged to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company may present or calculate non-GAAP measures differently from other companies.

____________

(1)	In the first quarter 2020, our former Fabrication and Services Divisions were operationally combined to form a new division called Fabrication & Services. Accordingly, segment results (including the effects of eliminations) for our former Fabrication and Services Divisions for 2019 have been combined to conform to the presentation of our reportable segments for 2020. In addition, in the first quarter 2020, management and project execution responsibility for our two forty-vehicle ferry projects was transferred from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division. Accordingly, revenue of $2.1 million and gross loss and operating loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, and revenue of $9.2 million and gross loss and operating loss of $5.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, associated with these projects was reclassified from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division to conform to the presentation of these projects for 2020.
(2)	Gross loss for the Shipyard Division includes project charges for the three months ended December 31, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, of $8.8 million, $6.7 million, $10.2 million, $16.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
