NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2009, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This standard defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. SFAS No. 160 requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the Company’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the Company’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 were applied retrospectively. Other than the change in presentation of noncontrolling interests and its inclusion in comprehensive income, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

 

2. Financial Instruments

The fair value of an asset or liability, as defined by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in

Table of Contents

active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP SFAS No. 157-2”), with no material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations. FSP SFAS No. 157-2 deferred for one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and certain nonfinancial liabilities.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

 

     Carrying

ASSETS

     

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

     872,930      887,468

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from other business ventures because the timing of settlement of these notes is not certain. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and accordingly the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Marketable Securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, marketable security gains (losses), net includes gains of $7.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, marketable security gains (losses), net includes gains of $6.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2009.

 

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosure for derivative instruments and hedging activities about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and

hedges and how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133. All of the Company’s derivative positions are stated at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133 are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recognized as corresponding increases or decreases in the fair value of the underlying hedged item to the extent they are effective, with any ineffective portion reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity to the extent they are effective and reclassified into earnings on the same line item associated with the hedged transaction and in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that are entered into by the Company’s equity method investees are also reported as a component of the Company’s other comprehensive income in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investee, with reclassifications and ineffective portions being included in equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Derivative instruments are classified as either assets or liabilities based on their individual fair values. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in other receivables and other current liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Hedges. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has designated certain of its forward currency exchange contracts with notional values of €16.0 million as fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133 in respect of capital commitments denominated in euros for assets scheduled to be delivered in 2010. By entering into these forward currency exchange contracts, the Company has fixed a portion of its euro capital commitments in U.S. dollars to protect against currency fluctuations. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company designated €15.0 million notional value of its forward currency exchange contracts as fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133, in addition to €20.0 million previously so designated as of December 31, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company no longer designated €19.0 million notional value of these contracts as fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized gains (losses) on derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Additionally, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services joint ventures has entered into an interest rate swap agreement which has also been designated as a cash flow hedge under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. These instruments call for the Company or the joint venture to pay fixed interest rates on the notional value and receive in return a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company has converted the variable LIBOR component of its outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate to protect against interest rate fluctuations. The terms of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2009 are as follows:

The Company holds positions in publicly traded equity options that convey the right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security or index. The Company’s investment in equity options primarily includes positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. These contracts are typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose of.

The Company has entered into and settled positions in various forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to the pound sterling, euro, yen, rupee, Singapore dollar, won, Taiwanese dollar, Thai baht, ringgit, dinar, renminbi, dirham, Brazilian real and rand. As of June 30, 2009, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translate to a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $5.0 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in foreign exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted in Europe, Africa, South America, the Middle East and Asia. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve months. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a $5.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent forward currency exchange contract.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements which call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.79% to 2.85% on aggregate notional values of $68.0 million and receive in return variable interest rates based on LIBOR on these notional values. These instruments mature in 2012 through 2013. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company is protecting against interest rate fluctuations on the variable LIBOR component of its outstanding or anticipated borrowings. These instruments do not currently qualify as cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements which call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 2.46% to 2.59% on aggregate notional values of $83.5 million and receive in return variable interest rates based on LIBOR on these notional values.

The Company has entered into and settled positions in various commodity swap, option and future contracts (primarily natural gas, crude oil, gasoline and ethanol). The general purpose of these transactions is to provide value to the Company should there be a sustained decline in the price of commodities that over time could lead to a reduction in the market values and cash flows of the Company’s offshore, inland river and commodity trading businesses.

The Company has also entered into and settled various future contracts with unrelated third parties to buy and sell commodities. These contracts are non-exchange traded and typically result in physical delivery of the underlying commodity. As of June 30, 2009, the Company carried ethanol inventory relating to the physical delivery of product from these transactions with a carrying value of $13.1 million.

The Company has entered into and settled various positions in U.S. treasury notes and bonds through futures or options on futures tied to U.S. treasury notes. The general purpose of these transactions is to provide value to the Company should the price of U.S. treasury notes and bonds decline, leading to generally higher interest rates, which if sustained over time, might lead to higher interest costs for the Company.

 

4. Business Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) amended the Company’s accounting policy by requiring the Company to recognize on its future acquisitions, with certain exceptions, 100 percent of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity. It establishes that shares issued in consideration for a business combination be at fair value on the acquisition date, requires the recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings, and requires recognition of pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values. It also provides for the capitalization of in-process research and development assets acquired, requires acquisition-related transaction costs to be expensed as incurred, allows for the capitalization of acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the criteria in SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, are met as of the acquisition date, and requires as an adjustment to income tax expense any changes in an acquirer’s existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals.

V & A Acquisition. On May 21, 2009, the Company acquired a controlling interest in V&A Commodity Traders, Inc. (“V&A”), a sugar trading business, for $4.0 million. The Company’s purchase price included cash consideration of $1.3 million and forgiveness of a note due from V&A of $2.7 million. The Company performed a fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values resulting in no goodwill being recorded. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired was finalized in June 2009.

SRI Acquisition. On September 7, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solid Resources, Inc. and Solid Resources, LLC (collectively referred to as “SRI”), providers of environmental services in the southeastern United States. The selling stockholder of SRI has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of up to $39.5 million based upon certain performance measures over the period from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2011, which will be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid $1.2 million of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Link Acquisition. On September 7, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Link Associates International Global Limited (“Link”), a provider of environmental services in the United Kingdom. The selling stockholder of Link has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of up to £2.8 million based upon certain performance measures during the period from the date of acquisition through May 31, 2010, which will be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid £61,560 ($0.1 million) of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

RMA Acquisition. On October 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Response Management Associates, Inc. (“RMA”), a provider of environmental consulting services. The selling stockholder of RMA has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of $8.5 million based upon certain performance measures over the period from the date of the acquisition through September 30, 2012, which will

be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid $0.5 million of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5. Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation Policy

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, capital expenditures were $77.1 million. Equipment deliveries during the period included two offshore support vessels, one inland river towboat and four helicopters.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold 14 offshore support vessels, four inland river dry cargo barges, three harbor tugs and other equipment. In addition, two helicopters were scrapped and one helicopter was declared a total loss after an accident in the North Sea. The Company received $55.5 million on the disposition of these assets, including the insurance proceeds for the helicopter, and recognized net gains of $16.7 million.

Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the point at which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.

As of June 30, 2009, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:

 

Offshore support vessels

   20

U.S.-flag tankers(1)

   25

Inland river dry cargo and deck barges

Harbor and offshore tugs(2)

   25

Ocean liquid tank barges

   25

 

(1) Subject to Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA 90”) requirements.

 

(2)

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company changed its estimated useful life for newly built harbor and offshore tugs from 40 to 25 years and reduced the remaining useful life of certain vessels within its harbor and offshore tug fleet due to the more frequent occurrence of technological advancements in vessel design. These changes in estimates did not materially impact the comparability of financial information for the periods presented.

 

6. Investments at Equity and Receivables from 50% or Less Owned Companies

Dart. On July 22, 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Era DHS LLC, acquired 49% of the capital stock of Dart Helicopter Services LLC (“Dart”) for cash consideration of $21.0 million. Dart is an international sales, marketing and manufacturing organization focusing on after-market helicopter accessories. The Company has performed a preliminary fair value analysis of Dart as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the Company’s interest in Dart’s net assets has been initially allocated to intangible assets and goodwill in the amount of $9.8 million each. The fair value analysis is not yet complete.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of offshore support vessels, helicopters, ocean liquid tank barges and inland river towboats and totaled $117.4 million, of which $48.1 million is payable during the remainder of 2009 and the balance is payable through 2011. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $20.9 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company committed to purchase additional equipment for $3.7 million, of which $1.1 million is payable during the remainder of 2009 and the balance is payable through 2011.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by one of its joint ventures under a vessel charter agreement that expires in 2011. In addition, the Company has guaranteed amounts owed under banking facilities by certain of its joint ventures and has issued a performance guarantee on behalf of one of its joint ventures. As of June 30, 2009, the total amount guaranteed by the Company under these arrangements was $24.3 million. Additionally, as of June 30, 2009, the Company had an uncalled capital commitment to one of its joint ventures for $2.8 million.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates related to these exposures could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to these prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of SEACOR acquired in July 2005, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels that called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels that called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

During 2006 and 2007, Marine Transportation Services (“MTS”) had two of its tankers retrofitted to a double-hull configuration in a foreign shipyard to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. In May 2005, MTS received a determination from the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), which administers the United States build requirements of the Jones Act, concluding the retro-fit work would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. MTS completed the retrofit work in the foreign shipyard in reliance upon the USCG’s determination, which MTS believes was correct and in accord with the USCG’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. On July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association and two operators of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade (“Shipbuilders”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al. , No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Trader Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the USCG’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retrofitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending its determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment by Shipbuilders setting aside the USCG’s determination and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement of the Seabulk Trader. On April 30, 2008, MTS appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and the lower court’s decision has been stayed pending appeal, subject to certain terms (which MTS has also separately appealed). Those terms require that MTS pay to the plaintiffs 12.5% of the revenue generated by the Seabulk Trader from November 7, 2008 in the event that the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court’s decision to revoke its coastwise endorsement. On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted in the SB Trader Litigation against MTS’s second retrofitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. MTS has intervened in the SB Challenge Litigation, which has been stayed pending the decision of the Court of Appeals in the SB Trader Litigation. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retrofitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $56.5 million as of June 30, 2009 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Under the direction of a court order, any deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating employers. The Company’s participation relates to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003, the Company was invoiced and expensed $4.4 million in

Table of Contents

2005, representing the Company’s allocated share of a total funding deficit of $412.0 million. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers and the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.6 million in March 2007 for its allocated share of the uncollectible deficit. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2006, the Company was invoiced and expensed $3.9 million in September 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will experience further funding deficits requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received. A funding update as of March 2008 indicated that an additional funding deficit of $116.2 million had developed over the two years since the last actuarial valuation in 2006. No invoices in respect of this deficit will be issued to participating employers until the results of the latest actuarial valuation, carried out in March 2009, are available. Should the deficit be maintained at current levels through the March 2009 actuarial valuation, the Company estimates its share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.5 million.

A subsidiary of the Company is a participating employer in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). The Company’s participation relates to ratings employed between 1978 and 2001 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation in March 2008, the MNRPF has an accumulated funding deficit of $284.2 million. No decision has yet been reached as to how the deficit will be recovered but the Company expects it is likely that participating employers will be invoiced for their allocated share, at which time the Company would recognize payroll related operating expenses. The Company estimates its allocated share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.0 million.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against SEACOR, Era Group Inc., Era Aviation, Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and two other defendants (collectively the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Superior Offshore International, Inc. v. Bristow Group Inc., et al., No. 09-CV-438 (D.Del.). SEACOR acquired the Era group of companies in December 2004. The complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust laws by conspiring with each other to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices for offshore helicopter services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the period January 2001 to December 2005. The purported class of plaintiffs includes all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought includes compensatory damages and treble damages. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

 

8. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $125.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility was $322.9 million, net of issued letters of credit of $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $46.7 million with various expiration dates through 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company made principal repayments of $29.4 million on its long-term debt and capital lease obligations excluding debt purchases (see note 9).

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position, Accounting Principles Board 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt to account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the issuers’ non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. Upon adopting FSP APB 14-1, the Company recorded the impact on a retrospective basis for all periods presented and adjusted previously reported equity as of December 31, 2008 by increasing additional paid-in capital $33.9 million and reducing retained earnings $18.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the impact of adopting FSP APB 14-1 on the Company’s condensed consolidated

statements of income was an additional $4.0 million and $3.7 million of pre-tax, non-cash interest expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the impact of the adoption on basic earnings per share was a reduction of $0.13 and $0.11 per share, respectively.

 

9. Stock and Debt Repurchases

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 for $3.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired for treasury 1,658,317 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $142.7 million. As of June 30, 2009, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $145.5 million.

Additionally, the Company may purchase, separate from such authorization noted above, any or all of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company purchased $1.0 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $20.2 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $58.4 million.

 

10. Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Interests

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolled subsidiary shares in a tank farm and handling facility in Sauget, Illinois and certain related leasehold improvements from a noncontrolling interest holder. The aggregate purchase price of $9.6 million included a note payable of $7.0 million, the forgiveness of a $2.3 million note receivable from the noncontrolling interest holder and cash consideration of $0.3 million.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolled subsidiary shares in an offshore marine services company for $0.9 million.

 

11. Earnings Per Common Share of SEACOR

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested, common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options and common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 821,519 and 896,874, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 571,364 and 506,274, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

14. New Accounting Pronouncement

On May 15, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective on July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in its current accounting policies and as such will have no impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

 

15. Segment Information

Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss has not changed from those previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: the unprecedented decline in valuations in the global financial markets and illiquidity in the credit sectors, including, interest rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, change in laws, trade barriers, commodity prices and currency exchange fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, loss of U.S. coastwise endorsement for the retro-fitted double-hull tankers, Seabulk Trader and Seabulk Challenge, if the Company is unsuccessful in defending litigation seeking the revocation of their coastwise charters, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, safety record requirements related to Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services and Aviation Services, decreased demand for Marine Transportation Services and Harbor and Offshore Towing Services due to construction of additional refined petroleum products, natural gas or crude oil pipelines or due to decreased demand for refined petroleum products, crude oil or chemical products or a change in existing methods of delivery, compliance with U.S. and foreign government laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, the dependence of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services and Aviation Services on several customers, consolidation of the Company’s customer base, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels and aircraft, industry fleet capacity, restrictions imposed by the Shipping Acts and Aviation Acts on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, operational risks of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services, Harbor and Offshore Towing Services and Aviation Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, future phase-out of Marine Transportation Services’ double-bottom tanker, dependence of spill response revenue on the number and size of spills and upon continuing government regulation in this area and Environmental Services’ ability to comply with such regulation and other governmental regulation, changes in National Response Corporation’s Oil Spill Removal Organization classification, liability in connection with providing spill response services, the level of grain export volume, the effect of fuel prices on barge towing costs, variability in freight rates for inland river barges, the effect of international economic and political factors in Inland River Services’ operations, adequacy of insurance coverage, the attraction and retention of qualified personnel by the Company and various other matters and factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the following should not be considered a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the Company’s businesses, particularly those mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7 on the Company’s Form 10-K and SEACOR’s periodic reporting on Form 8-K (if any), which are incorporated by reference.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues decreased by $24.7 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Time charter revenues decreased by $32.1 million and other operating revenues, including third party brokered vessel activity, bareboat charter revenues and other marine services, increased by $7.4 million.

The decrease in time charter revenues was primarily due to a 2,141 or 13% reduction in days available for charter due to net fleet dispositions. Overall fleet utilization fell to 75% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 81% in the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to increased downtime resulting from cold-stacking vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. As of June 30, 2009, 23 vessels were cold-stacked. Overall average day rates were $12,030 per day in the Current Year Quarter compared with $12,182 per day in the Prior Year Quarter, a reduction of $152 per day or 1%. In overall terms, the decrease in average day rates reduced time charter revenues by $3.6 million and the impact of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates reduced time charter revenues by a further $4.3 million. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions and changes in utilization and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $24.2 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $27.6 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to a 20% reduction in utilization. Average day rates decreased from $13,198 per day in the Prior Year Quarter to $13,064 per day in the Current Year Quarter.

Time charter revenues were higher in Mexico, Central and South America primarily due to higher utilization levels as a consequence of reduced downtime for maintenance, conversion and mobilization, and higher in Asia primarily due to mobilizing vessels from other geographic regions. Time charter revenues in West Africa were lower primarily due to net fleet dispositions and mobilizing vessels to other geographic regions and lower in the North Sea where average rates declined due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the pound sterling.

Operating Revenues – Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months. Operating revenues decreased by $14.6 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Time charter revenues decreased by $32.2 million and other operating revenues, including third party brokered vessel activity, bareboat charter revenues and other marine services, increased by $17.6 million.

The decrease in time charter revenues was primarily due to a 4,200 or 13% reduction in days available for charter due to net fleet dispositions. Overall fleet utilization was 78% in the Current Six Months compared with 79% in the Prior Six Months. Overall average day rates were $12,421 per day in the Current Six Months compared with $11,987 per day in the Prior Six Months, an increase of $434 per day or 4%. In overall terms, the improvement in average day rates increased time charter revenues by $7.2 million and the impact of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates reduced time charter revenues by $9.7 million. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions and changes in utilization and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $29.7 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $22.8 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to an 8% reduction in utilization and a decrease in average day rates from $14,495 per day to $12,922 per day.

Time charter revenues were higher in Mexico, Central and South America, primarily due to higher utilization levels as a consequence of reduced downtime for maintenance, conversion and mobilization, higher in the Middle East primarily due to improvements in average day rates and higher in Asia primarily due to mobilizing vessels from other geographic regions. Time charter revenues in West Africa were lower primarily due to net fleet dispositions and mobilizing vessels to other geographic regions and lower in the North Sea where average day rates declined due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the pound sterling.

Operating Income – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $0.4 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $14.4 million of gains in the Prior Year Quarter. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased by $3.0 million. The decrease in operating revenues noted above was partially offset by a $23.0 million reduction in operating expenses primarily due to net fleet dispositions, a reduction in the number of scheduled drydockings, lower unscheduled repair costs and cold-stacking additional vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Administrative and general expenses were $4.9 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the impact of restructuring the international group in late 2008.

Operating Income – Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months. Operating income in the Current Six Months included $14.8 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $21.5 million of gains in the Prior Six Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased by $31.6 million. The decrease in operating revenues noted above was partially offset by a $38.4 million reduction in operating expenses primarily due to net fleet dispositions, a reduction in the number of scheduled drydockings and cold-stacking additional vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Administrative and general expenses were $7.5 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the impact of restructuring the international group in late 2008.

Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity earnings increased by $1.8 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $0.5 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. The Current Year Quarter increase is primarily due to an Argentinian joint venture that began operations during July 2008. In February 2008, Offshore Marine Services recognized a gain of $1.9 million, net of tax, relating to the sale of a vessel owned by its Norwegian joint venture.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues were $4.7 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to changes in the contract status of the California Voyager from time charter to long-term bareboat charter commencing in September 2008, the Seabulk Challenge, which began a new time charter in April 2009, and the Seabulk Energy, which completed a long-term time charter in February 2009 and operated in the spot market in the Current Year Quarter. Operating revenues were higher in the Current Year Quarter for the Seabulk Arctic, which began a regulatory drydocking in the Prior Year Quarter.

Operating Revenues – Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months. Operating revenues were $7.1 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to changes in the contract status of the California Voyager and the Seabulk Energy as noted above. In addition, the Seabulk Energy was off-hire for regulatory drydocking and repairs for 28 days in the Current Six Months. Operating revenues were higher in the Current Six Months for the Seabulk Arctic and Seabulk Challenge, both of which were off-hire while undergoing regulatory drydockings in the Prior Six Months, and for the Seabulk Pride which was off-hire for repairs in the Prior Six Months.

Operating Income – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating income was $1.0 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. The reductions in operating revenues noted above were offset by lower operating expenses primarily due to changes in the contract status of the California Voyager and the Seabulk Challenge and lower voyage costs for the Seabulk America, which operated in the spot market. In addition, operating expenses were lower in the Current Year Quarter for the Seabulk Arctic which began a regulatory drydocking in the Prior Year Quarter.

Operating Income – Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months. Operating income in the Prior Six Months included gains of $3.6 million on the sale of the Seabulk Magnachem and Seabulk Power. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income was $1.7 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Operating income was lower for the Seabulk Energy due to the reduced operating revenues noted above and higher operating expenses, primarily due to its regulatory drydocking in the Current Six Months.

Operating income was lower for the California Voyager following its change in contract status from time charter to long-term bareboat charter. Operating income was higher for the Seabulk Challenge primarily due to its new time charter and higher for the Seabulk America which operated in the spot market, primarily due to lower voyage costs. Operating income was higher for the Seabulk Pride primarily due to the improved operating revenues noted above and for the Seabulk Arctic due to improved operating revenues and lower operating expenses primarily due to its regulatory drydocking in the Prior Six Months.

Fleet Count. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, Marine Transportation Services owned eight U.S.-flag product tankers operating in the domestic coastwise trade.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased by $3.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $3.7 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. In the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months operating revenues were higher in the liquid unit tow operation primarily due to the addition of two towboats and eight 30,000-barrel liquid tank barges. In addition, operating revenues were higher due to the commencement of terminal operations in Sauget, Illinois in May 2008. These increases were offset by declines in operating revenues from non-grain freight loadings and idling of a portion of the pooled fleet in the Current Year Quarter. Loadings in the Current Year Quarter were significantly lower than in the Prior Year Quarter due to weaker demand for the movement of non-grain commodities, including construction related materials and domestic coal.

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $0.4 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $1.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $2.7 million of gains on asset dispositions in the Current Six Months compared with $2.2 million in the Prior Year Six Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $0.7 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $2.5 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. The changes in operating income were generally in line with the changes in operating revenues noted above. Operating results in the pooled fleet benefited from favorable operating conditions and lower fuel prices, which resulted in lower towing, fleeting and switching costs compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues decreased by $6.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico decreased due to the loss of several short-term contracts and a cost-driven reduction in fuel sales prices. Operating revenues in Alaska also decreased due to a reduction in fuel sales volume and prices at the fixed-base operation as well as fewer aircraft supporting seasonal flightseeing operations. These reductions were partially offset by additional oil and gas support contracts in Alaska. In addition, air medical services’ operating revenues were higher due to an increase in patient transports.

Operating Revenues – Current Six Months compared with Prior Year Six Months. Operating revenues decreased by $0.5 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. Operating revenues in Alaska were significantly reduced primarily due to lower fuel sales volume and prices at the fixed base operation. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were slightly higher due to additional contracts and generally better rates with new equipment, partially offset by lower re-billable fuel revenues as a result of the decline in fuel prices. Operating revenues in air medical services were higher due to an increase in patient transports and international leasing revenues were higher as additional helicopters were placed on long-term leases and short-term contracts outside the United States.

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months included $1.1 million of losses on net asset dispositions and impairments, compared with gains of $3.2 million and $3.6 million in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, respectively. Excluding the impact of these transactions, operating income increased by $2.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $6.3 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Operating income was impacted by the decreases in operating activities noted above, lower fuel costs and the receipt of insurance proceeds in the Current Year Quarter related to damage incurred from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Operating income in the Current Six Months was impacted by the recovery of a previously reserved receivable balance from a major Alaska-based customer.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased by $4.8 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $13.1 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of operating revenues contributed from pipeline repair projects in the Republic of Georgia and Turkey in the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Six Months. In addition, operating revenues were lower in the Current Six Months due to a reduction of industrial services activity primarily on the U.S. West Coast. Operating revenues from consulting services were lower in both periods primarily due to a decrease in platform recovery, planning and public assistance recovery services. Operating revenues from response services were higher in both periods primarily due to an increase in debris monitoring activity in Kentucky and Arkansas and additional work in Louisiana relating to Hurricane Gustav.

Operating Income. Operating income increased by $0.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and decreased by $3.5 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Operating income in both periods was impacted by the changes in operating revenues noted above. Administrative and general expenses were lower in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to reductions in management bonus awards.

Foreign currency gains, net. Foreign currency gains, net were $4.9 million in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to a weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies underlying certain of the Company’s cash positions and intercompany notes receivable.

Debt extinguishment gains (losses), net. Debt extinguishment losses, net in the Current Year Quarter resulted from the Company’s purchase of $1.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024, $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $6.3 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $45.6 million at average prices above their respective principal amounts, partially offset by the recognition of unamortized net premiums. Debt extinguishment gains, net in the Current Six Months resulted from the Company’s purchase of $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024, $1.0 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $20.2 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $62.1 million at average prices below their respective principal amounts and the recognition of unamortized net premiums.

Marketable security gains (losses), net. Marketable security gains, net in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months primarily resulted from gains on long marketable security positions. Marketable security losses, net in the Prior Six Months resulted from losses on short sales of marketable securities partially offset by gains on long marketable security positions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting its capital commitments and the repayment of debt obligations. In addition, the Company may use its liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for treasury or to make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, Title XI reserve funds, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or a combination thereof.

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $188.6 million in the Current Six Months compared with $135.8 million in the Prior Six Months. Cash flows from operating activities increased primarily due to improved net income before depreciation and gains on asset dispositions and net proceeds received on marketable security transactions designated as trading in the Current Six Months.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company designated its investments in marketable equity and debt securities as trading securities from their previous available-for-sale designation. As a result, cash flows from trading securities are now reported within operating activities. Prior to this change in designation, cash flows relating to available-for-sale securities were reported within investing activities. During the Current Six Months, cash used in operating activities included $10.9 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $1.0 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Current Six Months, cash provided by operating activities included $26.7 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $1.8 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities were $10.3 million in the Current Six Months compared with cash flows used in investing activities of $113.1 million in the Prior Six Months.

During the Prior Six Months, cash used in investing activities included $126.2 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $33.6 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Prior Six Months, cash provided by investing activities included $57.5 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $26.3 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

During the Current Six Months, capital expenditures were $77.1 million.

During the Prior Six Months, capital expenditures were $233.1 million. Equipment deliveries during the Prior Six Months included six offshore support vessels, 15 inland river dry cargo barges, three inland river towboats, twelve helicopters, two ocean liquid tank barges and three harbor tugs.

During the Current Six Months, the Company sold 14 offshore support vessels, four inland river dry cargo barges, three harbor tugs and other equipment. In addition, two helicopters were scrapped and one helicopter was declared a total loss after an accident in the North Sea. The Company received $55.5 million on the disposition of these assets, including the insurance proceeds for the helicopter, and recognized net gains of $16.7 million. During the Prior Six Months, the Company sold eight offshore support vessels, two tankers, one inland river dry cargo barge, five inland river liquid tank barges, six helicopters, one harbor tug, one offshore marine construction contract and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $63.8 million and recognized net gains of $31.2 million.

As of June 30, 2009, construction reserve funds of $249.0 million are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment. During the Current Six Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $58.3 million and deposits of $19.4 million. During the Prior Six Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $171.1 million and deposits of $36.3 million.

The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of offshore support vessels, helicopters, ocean liquid tank barges and inland river towboats and totaled $117.4 million, of which $48.1 million is payable during the remainder of 2009 and the balance is payable through 2011. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $20.9 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company committed to purchase additional equipment for $3.7 million, of which $1.1 million is payable during the remainder of 2009 and the balance is payable through 2011.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were $67.3 million in the Current Six Months compared with $139.8 million in the Prior Six Months.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire Common Stock and its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. During the Current Six Months, the Company repurchased $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 for $3.7 million. During the Prior Six Months, the Company acquired for treasury 1,658,317 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $142.7 million. As of June 30, 2009, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $145.5 million.

Additionally, the Company may purchase, separate from such authorization noted above, any or all of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013. During the Current Six Months, the Company purchased $1.0 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $20.2 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $58.4 million.

During the Current Six Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $29.4 million excluding debt purchases. During the Prior Six Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $8.7 million.

During the Current Six Months, the Company drew $25.0 million under its revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility was $322.9 million, net of issued letters of credit of $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $46.7 million with various expiration dates through 2012.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

The recent economic conditions have created an unprecedented disruption in the credit and capital markets. To date, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near future. The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In support of the Company’s capital expenditure program or other liquidity requirements, the Company may use its cash balances, sell securities, utilize construction reserve funds, sell additional vessels or other equipment, enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment, borrow under its revolving credit facility, issue debt or a combination thereof.

The outstanding principal balance of the Company’s 7.2% Senior Notes is due in September 2009. The Company expects to refinance the remaining principal balance of this debt through drawdowns under its revolving credit facility.

The Company’s long-term liquidity is dependent upon its ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet its requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on shareholders’ investment. The Company believes that earning such operating profits will permit it to maintain its access to favorably priced debt, equity or off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.

Contingencies

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates related to these exposures could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to these prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of SEACOR acquired in July 2005, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels that called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels that called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

During 2006 and 2007, Marine Transportation Services (“MTS”) had two of its tankers retrofitted to a double-hull configuration in a foreign shipyard to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. In May 2005, MTS received a determination from the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), which administers the United States build requirements of the Jones Act, concluding the retro-fit work would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. MTS completed the retrofit work in the foreign shipyard in reliance upon the USCG’s determination, which MTS believes was correct and in accord with the USCG’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. On July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association and two operators of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade (“Shipbuilders”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Trader Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the USCG’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retrofitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending its determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment by Shipbuilders setting aside the USCG’s determination and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement of the Seabulk Trader. On April 30, 2008, MTS appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and the lower court’s decision has been stayed pending appeal, subject to certain terms (which MTS has also separately appealed). Those terms require that MTS pay to the plaintiffs 12.5% of the revenue generated by the Seabulk Trader from November 7, 2008 in the event that the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court’s decision to revoke its coastwise endorsement. On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted in the SB Trader Litigation against MTS’s second retrofitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. MTS has intervened in the SB Challenge Litigation, which has been stayed pending the decision of the Court of Appeals in the SB Trader Litigation. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retrofitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s

financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $56.5 million as of June 30, 2009 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Under the direction of a court order, any deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating employers. The Company’s participation relates to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003, the Company was invoiced and expensed $4.4 million in 2005, representing the Company’s allocated share of a total funding deficit of $412.0 million. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers and the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.6 million in March 2007 for its allocated share of the uncollectible deficit. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2006, the Company was invoiced and expensed $3.9 million in September 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will experience further funding deficits requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received. A funding update as of March 2008 indicated that an additional funding deficit of $116.2 million had developed over the two years since the last actuarial valuation in 2006. No invoices in respect of this deficit will be issued to participating employers until the results of the latest actuarial valuation, carried out in March 2009, are available. Should the deficit be maintained at current levels through the March 2009 actuarial valuation, the Company estimates its share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.5 million.

A subsidiary of the Company is a participating employer in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). The Company’s participation relates to ratings employed between 1978 and 2001 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation in March 2008, the MNRPF has an accumulated funding deficit of $284.2 million. No decision has yet been reached as to how the deficit will be recovered but the Company expects it is likely that participating employers will be invoiced for their allocated share, at which time the Company would recognize payroll related operating expenses. The Company estimates its allocated share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.0 million.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against SEACOR, Era Group Inc., Era Aviation, Inc., Era Helicopters LLC, and two other defendants (collectively “the Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Superior Offshore International, Inc. v. Bristow Group Inc., et al., No. 09-CV-438 (D.Del.). SEACOR acquired the Era group of companies in December 2004. The complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust laws by conspiring with each other to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices for offshore helicopter services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the period January 2001 to December 2005. The purported class of plaintiffs includes all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought includes compensatory damages and treble damages. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

New Accounting Pronouncement

On May 15, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective on July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in its current accounting policies and as such will have no impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

For discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Six Months, except as described below.

During the Current Six Months, the Company entered into several interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $118.0 million. In addition, one of the Company’s 50% owned joint ventures entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an aggregate notional value of $29.6 million. These instruments call for the Company or the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate ranging from 1.79% to 3.05% on the notional value and receive in return a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the notional value. These instruments mature in 2012 through 2014. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company is protecting against interest rate fluctuation on the variable LIBOR component of outstanding borrowings. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements with aggregate notional values of $83.5 million.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2009. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Current Year Quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
