McDermott International, Inc. MDR ("McDermott" or the "Company") today announced financial and operational results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Company reported first quarter 2015 net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share including restructuring charges, compared to a net loss of $46.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Net of restructuring charges, the first quarter 2015 loss would have been reduced by $10.4 million or $0.04 per fully diluted share.
"We are very pleased to have been awarded several important new projects during the first quarter of the year. While the macro industry environment continues to be challenging, McDermott has received three new brownfield EPCI projects in the Middle East, the Marjan Power Supply System from Saudi ARAMCO, the Qatar Petroleum award for a wellhead jacket and deck, as well as a new platform and two bridges from Al-Khafji Joint Operations. As one of our core markets, these new awards reinforce the ongoing activity in the region. We have also been awarded new projects in the Americas, including the SURF scope of a greenfield development for a new customer off the coast of Brazil," said David Dickson, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. "Although we encountered the weather seasonality we anticipated during the quarter, we are committed to executing our backlog safely and efficiently. We also remain focused on prioritizing our bidding activities on opportunities where we have competitive differentiators to win new awards."
First Quarter 2015 Operating Results
The Company reported first quarter 2015 revenues of $550.5 million, a decrease of $53.3 million compared to revenues of $603.8 million for the prior-year first quarter. Revenues for the first quarter 2015 were affected by weather and third-party performance delays on the Company's INPEX project, as well as customer initiated changes on Middle East brownfield projects that impacted the timing of vessel mobilization.
The Company's operating income was $6.6 million for the first quarter 2015 and included $10.4 million of restructuring expenses. These results compare to the prior-year period first quarter operating loss of $38.2 million, which included $6.1 million of restructuring expenses. Operating income for the first quarter 2015 was positively impacted by favorable changes in cost estimates and revenue recovery, due to an ongoing focus on execution and improved customer relationships.
Cash flow from operations for the first quarter 2015 was a use of cash of $18.5 million compared to a use of cash of $22.3 million for the first quarter 2014.
Operational Update
In Americas, Europe and Africa ("AEA"), the Company's execution of the PB Litoral-A project remains on track with sail-away of the 7,200 ton structure expected to be complete in the third quarter of the year. During the quarter, McDermott's Derrick Barge 50 ("DB50") completed the successful installation of Ayatsil A for Pemex in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the Altamira fabrication yard completed its first export project for a major operator with a successful sail-away of the 2,760 ton, seven-story quarters structure to offshore Angola, West Africa in February 2015. McDermott was also awarded a second transportation and installation contract for Chevron's Jack and St. Malo fields in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico building on the execution success of the greenfield development work in 2014.
In the Middle East ("MEA"), McDermott was awarded a large contract amendment by Al-Khafji Joint Operations ("KJO") for a platform in the Hout field located in the Kuwait/Saudi Arabia neutral zone. McDermott was awarded the original work scope in 2012. In addition to significant modifications at the existing complex, the new work includes EPCI work on a new platform and two bridges with a total weight of approximately 3,300 tons. Also in the region, the Company received an EPCI contract from Qatar Petroleum's ("QP") North Field Alphafor a wellhead jacket, deck and umbilical project. McDermott last worked for QP as a prime contractor in the early 2000's. In January, McDermott was awarded "Industrial Operations Company of the Year" by Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority. As one of the first tenants of the Jebel Ali Free Zone in 1980, this award signifies McDermott's continued HSE Leadership and the ability to build long-term partnerships in the MEA region. At the end of March, the Middle East area completed 20 million man-hours without experiencing a Lost Time Incident ("LTI").
In Asia ("ASA") on the INPEX Ichthys project, McDermott has completed 10 million man-hours without a LTI and fabrication of 70% of the approximately 27,000 tons of subsea structures. The Construction Support Vessel 108 remains on schedule to begin its marine campaign at the end of the second quarter of 2015. The Company has also completed the mobilization of the installation vessels for the Brunei Shell Petroleum ("BSP") project. During April, the Derrick Barge 30 commenced the installation of approximately 64 miles of replacement pipelines in the field. In addition, BSP added further work scope that will utilize the Company's vessel, the Emerald Sea, to perform additional installation and tie in work through the fourth quarter of 2015.
Other Financial Information
As of March 31, 2015, McDermott reported total assets of $3.5 billion. Included in this amount was $800.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. At quarter end, the Company had $861.3 million in debt outstanding and total equity of $1.5 billion, or 43% of total assets.
Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 237.5 million and 237.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Common shares for the settlement of the common stock purchase contracts related to the Tangible Equity Units or "TEUs", as well as other potentially dilutive shares were not considered in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 or March 31, 2014, due to the anti-dilutive effect.
Contract Backlog Summary
As of March 31, 2015, the Company's backlog was $3.75 billion, compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2014. Of the March 31, 2015 backlog, approximately 50% related to offshore operations and approximately 50% related to subsea operations.

In total, the Company's potential revenue pipeline was $25.6 billion as of March 31, 2015.
Cost Structure Update
At the beginning of 2015, McDermott announced the results of a major review of the Company's cost structure, with a focus on driving improvements in profitability and flexibility through reducing fixed and variable costs.
The plan included three key components:
- Increased organizational efficiency, commencing in the first quarter of this year, with expected savings starting in the second quarter of 2015
- Centralization of various front- and back-office functions
- Operational cost initiatives leveraging McDermott's global scale and the outsourcing of some non-core business activities
Through the end of March, McDermott has decreased its employee count by 475 positions from increased organizational efficiencies resulting in expected 2015 cash savings of $27.6 million. Initiatives on centralization and operational costs have also commenced.
Restructuring charges for the quarter were $10.4 million, as part of the Company's previous guidance of $25 million to $35 million for the full year 2015. McDermott remains on track to achieve the expected annual cash savings of $50 million in 2015, before restructuring charges.
In addition to the profitability initiatives and as a result of the Company's regular work activity and the sequencing of projects, over 1,200 additional positions have been released from the Company. These positions are primarily related to craft labor in McDermott's fabrication yards.
