Insights

Gulf Island's Q4 and full-year 2024 results show a contrasting picture of underlying operational strength against headwinds in project timing. The company delivered Q4 consolidated revenue of $37.4 million with net income of $4.3 million, while full-year figures reached revenue of $159.2 million and net income of $14.7 million.

The robust $67.3 million cash and short-term investments position provides significant financial flexibility, especially valuable given management's guidance for lower 2025 EBITDA. This balance sheet strength is partially offset by $19 million in debt with a favorable 3% fixed interest rate.

Segment performance reveals key operational dynamics: The Fabrication division generated strong EBITDA of $4.6 million despite revenue declines, highlighting margin strength in small-scale fabrication. Meanwhile, the Services division's EBITDA margin contracted to 7.4% from 13.2% year-over-year, pressured by project delays and investments in cleaning and environmental services capabilities.

Management's cautious 2025 outlook citing "lower overall capital spending levels in the Gulf of America" suggests potential revenue pressure, though their strategic diversification beyond oil and gas toward infrastructure, government, and high-tech manufacturing should help mitigate industry cyclicality.

The company's share repurchase activity of 230,938 shares for $1.2 million demonstrates commitment to shareholder returns while maintaining strategic flexibility. The substantial cash position enables continued pursuit of organic growth initiatives and potential acquisitions despite the anticipated EBITDA contraction in 2025.

Gulf Island's strategic pivot toward more predictable revenue streams shows meaningful progress in 2024, but isn't yet fully insulating the company from market cyclicality. The fourth quarter results validate management's emphasis on three strategic pillars: small-scale fabrication expansion, diversification beyond oil and gas, and enhanced service capabilities.

The company's performance demonstrates clear execution against its durability objectives, with the small-scale fabrication business providing stability amid project delays in their Services division. However, the projected EBITDA decline in 2025 highlights the ongoing challenge of transforming while operating in cyclical markets.

Gulf Island is effectively deploying a dual-pathway growth strategy - organically developing new capabilities (evidenced by the cleaning and environmental services launch) while maintaining financial capacity for acquisitions. This approach is prudent given their operational environment, allowing them to opportunistically consolidate during industry downturns.

Their capital allocation discipline is noteworthy. Despite a nearly $5 billion market for offshore services that often tempts overexpansion, management has maintained balance sheet strength with $67.3 million in cash and investments. This provides important flexibility as customers signal reduced capital spending, while also enabling the ongoing share repurchase program that returned $1.2 million to shareholders in 2024.

Most importantly, the strategic expansion beyond traditional oil and gas into infrastructure, government, and high-tech manufacturing positions the company to capture value from industrial diversification trends. While near-term decommissioning growth opportunities in their CES business present revenue potential, the structural shift toward more diversified industrial fabrication represents the more significant long-term value driver.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“During 2024, we continued to enhance the durability and predictability of our business, driven largely by increasing our focus on small-scale fabrication, extending our fabrication focus beyond oil and gas, and expanding the capabilities of our services offerings,” said Richard Heo, Gulf Island’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have developed a strong foundation from which to grow our business, and we are well situated to continue investing in our growth initiatives and executing on our disciplined capital allocation strategy.”

“Our fourth quarter results benefited from our small-scale fabrication business, offset by project delays impacting our Services division and investments in growth initiatives, including our recently launched cleaning and environmental services (“CES”) offering,” said Heo.

“As we look to 2025, we continue to be encouraged by the bidding activity for our fabrication offerings and remain focused on expanding our presence in markets outside of oil and gas, such as infrastructure, government and high-tech manufacturing. Further, the project delays impacting our Services division appear to be subsiding and the CES business line is beginning to see increased volume as de-commissioning activity gains momentum,” continued Heo. “While these trends are encouraging, the timing of any large project award continues to be uncertain and our customers have indicated lower overall capital spending levels in the Gulf of America in 2025. Accordingly, we are currently expecting full year 2025 consolidated EBITDA to be less than our 2024 adjusted consolidated EBITDA.”

“We remain committed to our disciplined capital allocation strategy, with an emphasis on maintaining our financial flexibility,” stated Westley Stockton, Gulf Island’s Chief Financial Officer. “We ended the year with a cash and short-term investments balance of just over $67 million, providing us the capacity to continue making investments in our organic growth initiatives and pursue strategic acquisitions, while also providing opportunities for potential capital returns to our shareholders.”

“While we faced some headwinds during 2024, I am extremely proud of our continued execution against our strategic goals during the year, which combined with our strong financial position, has placed us in an attractive strategic position with meaningful options as we enter 2025. We are confident we have the right strategy in place and remain committed to our plan, with a continued focus on driving shareholder value,” concluded Heo.

DIVISION RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2024

Services Division – Revenue for the fourth quarter 2024 was $18.8 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 23.2%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower new project awards driven by lower offshore maintenance activity and delayed timing of certain project opportunities.

Operating income was $0.9 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to $2.7 million for the fourth quarter 2023. EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2024 was $1.4 million (or 7.4% of revenue), down from $3.2 million (or 13.2% of revenue) for the prior year period, primarily due to lower revenue, a less favorable project margin mix and ongoing investments associated with the start-up of the division’s CES business line for the current period. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for the Company’s definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Services division’s operating income to EBITDA.

Fabrication Division – Revenue for the fourth quarter 2024 was $18.7 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 4.9%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the prior year period including the benefit of the favorable resolution of customer change orders, offset partially by higher small-scale fabrication activity for the current period.

Operating income was $4.0 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2024 was $4.6 million, down from $5.4 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2023 excludes gains of $1.5 million from the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. The decrease in operating results for 2024 compared to 2023 (excluding the hurricane impacts) was primarily due to the prior year period including project improvements from the favorable resolution of customer change orders, offset partially by lower overhead costs, a more favorable project margin mix and improved utilization of facilities and resources for the current period associated with increased small-scale fabrication activity. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for the Company’s definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Fabrication division’s operating income to adjusted EBITDA.

Shipyard Division – Revenue for the fourth quarter 2024 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, compared to the fourth quarter 2023. Operating income was $1.1 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023. The wind down of the Shipyard division’s operations was substantially completed in the fourth quarter 2023 and final completion is anticipated to occur in March 2025 upon expiration of the final warranty period for the division’s ferry projects.

Corporate Division – Operating loss was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $2.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023. EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2024 was a loss of $2.3 million, versus a loss of $2.0 million for the prior year period. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for the Company’s definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Corporate division’s operating loss to EBITDA.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This release includes certain measures, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue, adjusted gross profit, new project awards and backlog. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company’s operating results and expectations of future performance 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 adjusted to remove certain nonrecurring items (including a gain from the sale of assets held for sale and gains from the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida) and the operating results for the Company’s Shipyard division (the wind down of which is expected to be completed in March 2025). The Company believes adjusted revenue and adjusted gross profit are useful supplemental measures as they reflect the Company’s revenue and gross profit or loss, adjusted to remove revenue and gross profit or loss, for the Company’s Shipyard division (the wind down of which is expected to be completed in March 2025). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue and adjusted gross profit to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are presented under “Consolidated Results of Operations” and “Results of Operations by Division” below.

The Company believes new project awards and backlog are useful supplemental measures as they represent work that the Company is obligated to perform under its current contracts. New project awards represent the expected revenue value of new contract commitments received during a given period, including scope growth on existing contract commitments. Backlog represents the unrecognized revenue value of new project awards, and at December 31, 2024, was consistent with 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.
