NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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, 2011, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. 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 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, 2010.

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.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):

 

     2011     2010  

Balance at beginning of period

   $ 29,322      $ 15,015   

Revenues deferred during the period

     4,351        7,782   

Revenues recognized during the period

     (10,880     (3,493
                

Balance at end of period

   $ 22,793      $ 19,304   
                

As of June 30, 2011, deferred revenues included $15.3 million relating to the time charter of several offshore support vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that are scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of a limited net profit interest in developmental oil and gas producing properties owned by a customer. Payments from the conveyance of the limited net profit interest, and the timing of such payments, are contingent upon production and energy sale prices. Based on the current production payout estimate, the deferred revenues are expected to be paid through mid-2012. The Company expects to defer an additional $3.6 million of vessel charter hire under this arrangement through December 2011. The Company will continue to recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future payments become determinable. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2011, deferred revenues also included $6.1 million related to audit provisions in certain Environmental Services’ response service contracts. The amount of revenues ultimately recognized following the completion of the billing audits or the expiration of the audit period could differ from the amounts billed and those differences may be material.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period information. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

 

2. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability 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. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes 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 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.

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.

Fair Value Hedges. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has designated certain of its forward currency exchange contracts with notional values of €50.1 million as fair value hedges in respect of capital commitments denominated in euros for assets scheduled to be delivered in 2011 through 2012. 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, 2011, the Company designated €55.1 million notional value of its forward currency exchange contracts as fair value hedges, in addition to €56.0 million previously so designated as of December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company dedesignated €1.4 million notional value of these contracts as fair value hedges and €59.6 million notional value matured. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company dedesignated and liquidated the remaining €50.1 million notional value of these contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges. As of June 30, 2011, the Company is a party to various interest rate swap agreements, with maturities ranging from 2013 to 2014, which have been designated as cash flow hedges. These agreements call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 2.25% to 2.85% on aggregate notional values of $125.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on these notional values. As of June 30, 2011, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2015 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.48% on the amortized notional value of $20.3 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, one of the Company’s Inland River Services 50% or less owed companies had four interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2013 to 2015 that have been designated as cash flow hedges. These instruments call for the joint venture to pay fixed rates of interest ranging from 1.53% to 4.16% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $60.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its joint ventures have converted the variable LIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate.

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 forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translated into a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $87.7 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve to eighteen months. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, forward currency exchange contracts with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $3.2 million were liquidated.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2012 through 2015 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.67% to 2.59% on aggregate amortized notional values of $98.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. In addition, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50-50 joint ventures has entered into an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2014. This instrument calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 3.05% on the amortized notional value of $26.4 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the notional value. The general purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to provide protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company or its joint venture.

The Company has entered into and settled positions in various exchange and non-exchange traded commodity swap, option and future contracts. In the Company’s commodity trading and logistics business, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for ethanol and sugar are included in the Company’s non-exchange traded derivative positions. The Company enters into exchange traded positions to protect these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances from market changes. As of June 30, 2011, the net market exposure to ethanol and sugar under these contracts was not material. The Company also enters into exchange traded positions (primarily natural gas, heating oil, crude oil, gasoline, ethanol and sugar) to provide value to the Company should there be a sustained decline in the price of commodities that could lead to a reduction in the market values and cash flows of the Company’s offshore marine and inland river businesses. As of June 30, 2011, these positions were not material.

The Company has entered into and settled various positions in U.S. treasury notes and bonds through rate locks, 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 might lead to higher interest costs for the Company. As of June 30, 2011, these positions consisted primarily of treasury futures and options with a notional value of $134.6 million and a one-year rate-lock agreement with a notional value of $100.0 million. The treasury rate-lock agreement provides for a net cash settlement in October 2011 based on the then current rate on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note versus the agreement rate of 2.845%.

The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, impairment charges recognized by the Company related to long-lived assets held for use were not material.

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, 2011, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:

 

Offshore support vessels

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 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 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2009, the Company was invoiced and expensed $7.8 million in 2010, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $636.9 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 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 Company was advised that its share of a $281.0 million (£175.0 million) accumulated funding deficit was $1.0 million (£0.6 million). The accumulated funding deficit is being recovered by additional annual contributions from current employers and is subject to adjustment following the results of future tri-annual actuarial valuations. As of June 30, 2011, $0.2 million, in the aggregate, of the Company’s funding deficit had been invoiced and expensed. Depending on the results of the future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNRPF will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against the Company, Era Group Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and three 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.). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust law 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 believes that

the claims set forth in the Complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. On September 14, 2010, the Court entered an order dismissing the Complaint. On September 28, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and amendment and a motion for re-argument (the “Motions”). On November 30, 2010, the Court granted the Motions, amended the Court’s September 14, 2010 Order to clarify that the dismissal was without prejudice, permitted the filing of an Amended Complaint, and authorized limited discovery with respect to the new allegations in the Amended Complaint. Following the completion of such limited discovery, on February 11, 2011, the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the Amended Complaint with prejudice. On June 23, 2011, the Court granted summary judgment for the Defendants. On July 22, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

On July 14, 2010, a group of individuals and entities purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Terry G. Robin, et al. v. Seacor Marine, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:10-cv-01986 (E.D. La.), in which they assert that support vessels, including vessels owned by the Company, responding to the explosion and resulting fire that occurred aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, were negligent in their efforts to save lives and put out the fire and contributed to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation (“MDL”), In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, exemplary, and other damages. The Company believes that this lawsuit brought by class action lawyers targeting emergency responders, acting under the direction of the U.S. Coast Guard, has no merit and will seek its dismissal. The Company also recently filed petitions seeking exoneration from, or limitation of liability in relation to, any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire. Pursuant to the Limitation of Liability Act, those petitions impose an automatic stay on the Robin case, and the court set a deadline of April 20, 2011 for individual claimants to assert claims in the limitation cases. Approximately 66 claims were submitted by the deadline in all of the limitation actions. On June 8, 2011, the Company moved to dismiss these claims (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee) on various legal grounds. Oral argument on the motion is scheduled for August 24, 2011.

On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by O’Brien’s Response Management Inc. (“O’Brien’s), a subsidiary of SEACOR. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP’s Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experience injuries similar to Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will seek its dismissal. Pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend O’Brien’s in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL.

On December 15, 2010, SEACOR subsidiaries O’Brien’s and National Response Corporation (“NRC”) were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The master complaint naming O’Brien’s and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a punitive class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically. By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint. The Company believes that the claims asserted against its subsidiaries in the master complaint have no merit and will seek dismissal of the master complaint against both O’Brien’s and NRC. In addition to the indemnity provided to O’Brien’s, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed,

 

17


Table of Contents

subject to certain potential limitation, to indemnify and defend O’Brien’s and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. On February 28, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on various legal grounds. The motions were argued before the Court on May 26, 2011 and a decision on the motions is pending.

Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, four additional individual civil actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, O’Brien’s and/or NRC as defendants and are part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. On April 8, 2011, O’Brien’s was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 15, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against O’Brien’s and NRC (and the other defendants). By court order, all four of these additional individual cases have been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.

On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named O’Brien’s and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179, tendering to O’Brien’s and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against O’Brien’s and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, and Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. have also filed cross-claims against O’Brien’s and NRC for contribution should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean’s Limitation of Liability Act action. Furthermore, certain defendants in the Transocean limitation action asserted cross-claims against O’Brien’s and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity and O’Brien’s and NRC asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief.

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

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company received notice from the Internal Revenue Service of $12.6 million in proposed penalties regarding Marine Transportation Services’ informational excise tax filings for prior years. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed penalties are erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received a Notice of Infringement (the “Notice”) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office. The Notice alleged the Company had imported a number of vessels into Brazil without properly completing the required importation documents and levied an assessment of $25.7 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed assessment is erroneous and

believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations. Of the levied assessment, $19.3 million relates to managed vessels whose owner would be responsible for any potential payment.

 

9. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $125.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility was $323.5 million, net of issued letters of credit of $1.5 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $45.1 million with various expiration dates through 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company made scheduled payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $6.5 million and made net borrowings on inventory financing arrangements of $5.8 million.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the Company to purchase any or all of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased $1.0 million, in principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million.

 

10. Stock 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”), which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not acquire any Common Stock for treasury. As of June 30, 2011, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $113.0 million.

 

11. Earnings Per Common Share of SEACOR

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 method. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested and common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 333,819 and 254,230, 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, 2010, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 894,714 and 878,807, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average outstanding common shares of SEACOR was as follows:

14. 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. An operating business segment has 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 is as previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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: decreased demand and loss of revenues as a result of U.S. government implemented moratoriums directing operators to cease certain drilling activities and any extension of such moratoriums (the “Moratoriums”), weakening demand for the Company’s services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters and aviation equipment or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels and aviation equipment in response to Moratoriums, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company’s businesses could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with providing spill and emergency response services, including the Company’s involvement in response to the oil spill as a result of the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, decreased demand for the Company’s services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines 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, 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, 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.

Table of Contents

$13,906 per day, a decrease of $2,764 per day or 20%. Lower utilization decreased time charter revenues by $18.5 million. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $20.3. In overall terms, lower average day rates decreased time charter revenues by $8.1 million while the impact of favorable changes in currency exchange rates increased time charter revenues by $1.5 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $44.2 million lower due to softer market conditions attributable to the ongoing slowdown in the issuance of drilling permits by the Bureau of Ocean Energy in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. During the Prior Year Quarter, incremental charters in support of the oil spill response contributed $27.1 million of additional time charter revenues. During the Current Year Quarter, lower utilization and lower average day rates reduced time charter revenues by $10.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Vessels that mobilized out of the region, other changes in fleet mix and net fleet dispositions decreased time charter revenues by $20.7 million and a net increase in cold-stacked vessels further decreased time charter revenues by $7.5 million. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had seven vessels cold-stacked in this region compared with four as of June 30, 2010.

In West Africa, time charter revenues were $3.7 million lower, of which $3.2 million was due to reduced utilization and $0.5 million was due to lower average day rates.

In the United Kingdom, time charter revenues were $3.4 million higher, of which $2.4 million was due to improved average day rates and favorable changes in the USD/pound sterling exchange rate, and $1.0 million was due to incremental time charter revenues from a vessel that mobilized into the region.

Revenues from brokered vessel activity were $4.4 million lower due to reduced activity in West Africa and the Middle East. Other marine services revenues were $2.9 million lower primarily due to the impact in the Prior Year Quarter of technical services provided in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.

Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses were $4.8 million lower due to net fleet dispositions, $3.2 million lower due to a larger number of vessels being held in cold-stack status during the Current Year Quarter, and $3.3 million lower due to reduced brokered vessel activity in West Africa and the Middle East.

Personnel costs were $1.2 million lower primarily due to net fleet dispositions and additional cold-stacked vessels. Repair and maintenance expenses were $3.7 million lower due to net fleet dispositions, additional cold-stacked vessels and the impact of expenditures incurred in the Prior Year Quarter related to technical services provided in support of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Drydocking expenses were $1.6 million lower primarily due to reduced activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the United Kingdom and West Africa.

Gains on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, net. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold four offshore support vessels for net proceeds of $11.8 million and recognized current and previously deferred gains on dispositions of $3.6 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold one offshore support vessel for net proceeds of $1.5 million and recognized current and previously deferred gains on dispositions of $2.0 million.

Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months

Operating Revenues. Time charter revenues were $73.0 million lower. Overall fleet utilization was 68% compared with 74%. The number of days available for charter was 21,814 compared with 24,471, a 2,657 day or 11% reduction, due to net fleet dispositions. Overall average day rates were $10,655 per day compared with $12,672 per day, a decrease of $2,017 per day or 16%. Lower utilization decreased time charter revenues by $33.8 million. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $27.5 million. In overall terms, lower average day rates decreased time charter revenues by $13.6 million while the impact of favorable changes in currency exchange rates increased time charter revenues by $1.9 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $64.5 million lower due to softer market conditions attributable to the ongoing slowdown in the issuance of drilling permits by the Bureau of Ocean Energy in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. During the Prior Six Months, incremental charters in support of the oil spill response contributed $27.1 million of additional time charter revenues. Time charter revenues were lower for all classes of vessels. During the Current Six Months, lower utilization and lower average day rates reduced time charter revenues by $19.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Net fleet dispositions, vessels that mobilized out of the region and other changes in fleet mix decreased time charter revenues by $24.8 million and a net increase in cold-stacked vessels further decreased time charter revenues by $11.5 million.

In West Africa, time charter revenues were $4.5 million lower, of which $3.8 million was due to reduced utilization and $1.2 million was due to lower average day rates. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing from other geographic regions and other changes in fleet mix increased time charter revenues by $0.5 million.

In the United Kingdom, time charter revenues were $4.2 million higher, of which $3.2 million was due to improved average day rates and favorable changes in the USD/pound sterling exchange rate, and $2.0 million was due to the impact of a vessel that mobilized into the region. These increases were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease due to reduced fleet utilization.

In Asia, time charter revenues were $6.8 million lower, of which $4.9 million was due to fleet dispositions, and the impact of vessels mobilizing out of the region and other changes in fleet mix, $0.9 million was due to reduced utilization and $1.0 million was due to lower average day rates.

Revenues from brokered vessel activity were $3.8 million lower due to reduced activity in West Africa and the Middle East. Other marine services revenues were $2.7 million lower primarily due to the impact in the Prior Year Quarter of technical services provided in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.

Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses were $8.3 million lower due to net fleet dispositions, $2.6 million lower due to the effect of vessels mobilizing between regions, $6.8 million lower due to a greater number of vessels being held in cold-stack status, and $3.0 million lower due to reduced brokered vessel activity in West Africa and the Middle East.

Personnel costs were $6.3 million lower primarily due to net fleet dispositions and additional cold-stacked vessels. Repair and maintenance expenses were $5.3 million lower due to net fleet dispositions, additional cold-stacked vessels and expenditures incurred in the Prior Year Quarter related to technical services provided in support of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Drydocking expense was $3.9 million lower primarily due to reduced activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and Mexico, Central and South America. Fuel, lubes and supplies expense was $1.2 million lower primarily due to net fleet dispositions.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues from leasing activities were $5.7 million higher primarily due to additional helicopters being placed on long-term leases in foreign jurisdictions and the impact of a full quarter of activity on maintenance support contracts for helicopters operating in Brazil, which began at various times in the first half of 2010. As of June 30, 2011, 48 aircraft were dedicated to leasing activities compared with 38 as of June 30, 2010. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were $0.7 million higher primarily due to the impact of search and rescue activities, which commenced in the third quarter of 2010 partially offset by a reduction of activity in support of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. As of June 30, 2011, Aviation Services had two aircraft assigned to search and rescue activities compared with none in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from Alaska were $1.1 million lower primarily due to a reduced number of aircraft on contract with a major oil and gas customer due to the completion of certain drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Operating Expenses. Personnel expenses were $0.7 million higher primarily due to pilot pay scale adjustments implemented in June 2010. Repair and maintenance expenses were $1.4 million lower primarily due to the timing of aircraft repairs offset by additional helicopters placed in power-by-hour maintenance programs. Insurance and loss reserves were $0.4 million higher primarily due to fleet additions. Fuel expenses were $1.1 million higher primarily due to higher prices. Other operating expenses were $1.1 million higher primarily due to the cost of contract medical support personnel assigned to search and rescue aircraft based in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.7 million higher due to the placement of additional helicopters into service.

Gains on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold equipment for proceeds of $6.9 million and recognized current and previously deferred gains on dispositions and impairments of $6.2 million.

Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues from leasing activities were $10.1 million higher primarily due to additional helicopters being placed on long-term leases in foreign jurisdictions and the impact of a full six months of activity on maintenance support contracts for helicopters operating in Brazil, which began at various times in the first half of 2010. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were $1.2 million higher primarily due to the impact of search and rescue activities which commenced in the third quarter of 2010 partially offset by a reduction of activity in support of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Operating revenues from Alaska were $1.2 million lower primarily due to a reduced number of aircraft on contract with a major oil and gas customer due to the completion of certain drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Operating Expenses. Personnel expenses were $1.6 million higher primarily due to pilot pay scale adjustments implemented in June 2010. Repair and maintenance expenses were $0.3 million lower primarily due to the timing of aircraft repairs partially offset by additional helicopters placed in power-by-hour maintenance programs. Insurance and loss reserves were $0.3 million lower primarily due to a “good experience” premium adjustment in the first quarter partially offset by increases due to the addition of new aircraft to the fleet. Fuel expenses were $2.1 million higher primarily due to higher prices. Other operating expenses were $0.3 million higher primarily due to the cost of contract medical support personnel assigned to search and rescue aircraft based in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and expenses related to an increase in parts sold to customers. These increases were partially offset by the first quarter receipt of insurance proceeds of $1.9 million related to hurricane damages sustained in 2005.

Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $1.8 million higher primarily due to higher wage and benefit costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.1 million higher due to the placement of additional helicopters into service.

Gains on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net. During the Current Six Months, the Company sold equipment for proceeds of $9.7 million and recognized current and previously deferred gains on dispositions an impairments of $8.4 million.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $6.8 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $19.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to a larger fleet following the addition of newly constructed dry cargo barges and the addition of dry cargo and 10,000 barrel liquid tank barges previously included in the Seaspraie joint venture. These increases were partially offset by lower operating revenues in the liquid unit tow operation primarily due to lower contract rates and reduced utilization of equipment. Operating revenues from inland river towboat operations and other activities were $1.3 million higher in the Current Six Months primarily due to improved utilization.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $7.2 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $15.5 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to increased barge logistic expenses as a result of the larger fleet, higher fuel prices and high-water towing escalators as a result of difficult operating conditions. In the Current Year Quarter, heavy rains in the Mid-South and the lower Ohio Valley produced severe flood conditions that caused periodic river closures and restricted tow sizes.

G&G Shipping Acquisition. In April, Marine Transportation Services acquired real property, eight foreign flag Roll-on/Roll-off (“RORO”) vessels and a 70% interest in an operating company engaged in the shipping trade between the United States, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. The operating company leases-in the real property and the RORO vessels from the Company. In the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, this operation contributed operating revenues of $6.8 million and reported an operating loss of $0.4 million. The operating loss was primarily due to drydocking costs for one RORO vessel and charter-in expenses to cover that vessel’s out-of-service time.

Operating Revenues. The changes in time charter and bareboat charter revenues in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months were primarily due to the change in contract status from time charter to long-term bareboat charter for one of the Company’s U.S.-flag product tankers effective August 2010. Excluding the revenues contributed by G&G Shipping, contract of affreightment and other revenues were lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to the lay-up of the Seabulk America in August 2010.

Operating Expenses. Excluding the impact of G&G Shipping, operating expenses were lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to the lay-up of the Seabulk America and an additional U.S.-flag product tanker operating under a long-term bareboat charter. Drydocking costs were lower in the Current Six Months due to the drydocking of the Seabulk Challenge and Seabulk Trader in the first quarter of 2010.

Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to G&G Shipping.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to the sale-leaseback of two vessels during the fourth quarter of 2010 and the write-down of the Seabulk America to fair value in the third quarter of 2010, partially offset by additional depreciation expenses from G&G Shipping.

Fleet Count

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, Marine Transportation Services’ fleet included eight U.S.-flag product tankers operating in the domestic coastwise trade. As of June 30, 2011, six of the U.S.-flag product tankers were owned and two were leased-in, of which four were operating under long-term bareboat charters, three were operating under time charters and one was laid-up. As of June 30, 2011, Marine Transportation Services’ fleet also included eight owned foreign flag RORO vessels operating in the shipping trade between the United States, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Response. Environmental Services’ operating results in the Prior Year Quarter were impacted by oil spill response activities relating to the BP Macondo well incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico following the sinking of the semi-submersible drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in April 2010 (the “Oil Spill Response”). Environmental Services’ provided vessels, equipment and people to support clean-up activities both on shore and at sea, professional assistance, consulting services and software systems in support of incident management activities.

Operating Revenues. The reductions in operating revenues from response services and project management in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months were the result of a reduction in the level of services provided in support of the Oil Spill Response. Operating revenues from project management were also lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due to the completion of a project in American Samoa during the Prior Year Quarter.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to the reduction in response services and project management activities as discussed above.

Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to higher wage and benefits costs and higher legal fees as a result of litigation arising from the Oil Spill Response.

In the Company’s energy and sugar trading businesses, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for ethanol and sugar are included in derivative positions at fair value. The Company routinely enters into exchange traded derivative positions to offset its net commodity market exposure on these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances. As a result, derivative gains (losses), net recognized during any period are predominately offset by fair value adjustments included in operating revenues and expenses on completed transactions, subject to certain timing differences on the delivery of physical inventories. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the net market exposure to ethanol and sugar under its contracts and inventory balances was not material.

Derivative losses, net.     Derivative losses, net of $6.6 million in the Current Year Quarter and $5.5 million in the Current Six Months were primarily due to losses on U.S. treasury notes, rate-locks and bond future and option contracts resulting from declines in market interest rates partially offset by gains on forward currency exchange, option and future contracts due to movements in the underlying currencies.

Foreign currency gains (losses), net. Foreign currency gains, net of $1.5 million in the Current Year Quarter and $5.5 million in the Current Six Months were primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months primarily due to the reduction in principal balances following the purchase or redemption of certain of the Company’s Senior Notes and Title XI Bonds.

Marketable security losses, net.     Marketable security losses, net in the Current Year Quarter were primarily the result of a reduction in the market value of the Company’s long equity positions partially offset by reductions in the market value of the equities underlying the Company’s short marketable security positions. Marketable security losses, net in the Current Six Months were primarily attributable to increases in the market value of equities underlying the Company’s short 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 its Common Stock, preferred stock or a combination thereof.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s unfunded capital commitments consisted primarily of offshore support vessels, helicopters, an interest in a dry-bulk articulated tug-barge, an interest in a river grain terminal and other property equipment. These commitments totaled $318.2 million, of which $153.0 million is payable during the remainder of 2011 with the balance payable through 2013. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $48.2 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages on $1.4 million.

As of June 30, 2011, construction reserve funds of $305.1 million were 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.

Operating income before depreciation and gains on asset dispositions and impairments, net was $88.4 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to higher operating results in the Prior Six Months from Oil Spill Response activities. See “Consolidated Results of Operations” included above for a discussion of the results of each of the Company’s business segments.

During the Current Six Months, changes in operating assets and liabilities before interest and income taxes used cash flows of $9.6 million. Increases in working capital employed by Commodity Trading and Logistics due to higher trading activities were offset by decreases by Environmental Services from the reduction in the level of services provided in support of the Oil Spill Response. During the Prior Six Months, changes in operating assets and liabilities before interest and income taxes used cash flows of $40.3 million primarily due to a general increase in working capital employed across the Company’s Offshore Marine Services, Inland River Services, Marine Transportation Services and Environmental Services business segments.

During the Current Six Months, cash used in operating activities included $21.2 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $33.4 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Current Six Months, cash provided by operating activities included $65.5 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $68.6 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

During the Prior Six Months, cash used in operating activities included $50.3 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $5.1 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Prior Six Months, cash provided by operating activities included $24.5 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $3.7 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

Investing Activities

During the Current Six Months, net cash used in investing activities was $173.3 million primarily as follows:

The acquired company had $1.6 million in cash at the time of acquisition.

During the Prior Six Months, net cash used in investing activities was $4.4 million primarily as follows:

 

   

Capital expenditures were $115.0 million. Equipment deliveries included one offshore support vessel, 38 inland river dry cargo barges and three helicopters.

Financing Activities

During the Current Six Months, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 million. The Company:

 

   

purchased $1.0 million, in principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million;

acquired for Treasury 1,615,900 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $120.0 million.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents

During the Current Six Months, the effect of exchange rate changes increased cash and cash equivalents by $5.7 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and pound sterling.

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, and borrow under its revolving credit facility, issue debt or a combination thereof.

Table of Contents

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

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 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 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2009, the Company was invoiced and expensed $7.8 million in 2010, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $636.9 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 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 Company was advised that its share of a $281.0 million (£175.0 million) accumulated funding deficit was $1.0 million (£0.6 million). The accumulated funding deficit is being recovered by additional annual contributions from current employers and is subject to adjustment following the results of future tri-annual actuarial valuations. As of June 30, 2011, $0.2 million, in the aggregate, of the Company’s funding deficit had been invoiced and expensed. Depending on the results of the future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNRPF will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against the Company, Era Group Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and three 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.). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust law 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 believes that the claims set forth in the Complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. On September 14, 2010, the Court entered an order dismissing the Complaint. On September 28, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and amendment and a motion for re-argument (the “Motions”). On November 30, 2010, the Court granted the Motions, amended the Court’s September 14, 2010 Order to clarify that the dismissal was without prejudice, permitted the filing of an Amended Complaint, and authorized limited discovery with respect to the new allegations in the Amended Complaint. Following the completion of such limited discovery, on February 11, 2011, the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the Amended Complaint

with prejudice. On June 23, 2011, the Court granted summary judgment for the Defendants. On July 22, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

On July 14, 2010, a group of individuals and entities purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Terry G. Robin, et al. v. Seacor Marine, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:10-cv-01986 (E.D. La.), in which they assert that support vessels, including vessels owned by the Company, responding to the explosion and resulting fire that occurred aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, were negligent in their efforts to save lives and put out the fire and contributed to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation (“MDL”), In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, exemplary, and other damages. The Company believes that this lawsuit brought by class action lawyers targeting emergency responders, acting under the direction of the U.S. Coast Guard, has no merit and will seek its dismissal. The Company also recently filed petitions seeking exoneration from, or limitation of liability in relation to, any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire. Pursuant to the Limitation of Liability Act, those petitions impose an automatic stay on the Robin case, and the court set a deadline of April 20, 2011 for individual claimants to assert claims in the limitation cases. Approximately 66 claims were submitted by the deadline in all of the limitation actions. On June 8, 2011, the Company moved to dismiss these claims (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee) on various legal grounds. Oral argument on the motion is scheduled for August 24, 2011.

On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by O’Brien’s Response Management Inc. (“O’Brien’s), a subsidiary of SEACOR. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP’s Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experience injuries similar to Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will seek its dismissal. Pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend O’Brien’s in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL.

On December 15, 2010, SEACOR subsidiaries O’Brien’s and National Response Corporation (“NRC”) were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. The master complaint naming O’Brien’s and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a punitive class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically. By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint. The Company believes that the claims asserted against its subsidiaries in the master complaint have no merit and will seek dismissal of the master complaint against both O’Brien’s and NRC. In addition to the indemnity provided to O’Brien’s, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitation, to indemnify and defend O’Brien’s and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. On February 28, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on various legal grounds. The motions were argued before the Court on May 26, 2011 and a decision on the motions is pending.

Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, four additional individual civil actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, O’Brien’s and/or NRC as defendants and are part of the overall

multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179. On April 8, 2011, O’Brien’s was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 15, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, O’Brien’s and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against O’Brien’s and NRC (and the other defendants). By court order, all four of these additional individual cases have been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.

On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named O’Brien’s and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179, tendering to O’Brien’s and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against O’Brien’s and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, and Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. have also filed cross-claims against O’Brien’s and NRC for contribution should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean’s Limitation of Liability Act action. Furthermore, certain defendants in the Transocean limitation action asserted cross-claims against O’Brien’s and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity and O’Brien’s and NRC asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief.

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

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company received notice from the Internal Revenue Service of $12.6 million in proposed penalties regarding Marine Transportation Services’ informational excise tax filings for prior years. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed penalties are erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received a Notice of Infringement (the “Notice”) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office. The Notice alleged the Company had imported a number of vessels into Brazil without properly completing the required importation documents and levied an assessment of $25.7 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed assessment is erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations. Of the levied assessment, $19.3 million relates to managed vessels whose owner would be responsible for any potential payment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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, 2010. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Six Months, except as described below.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company maintained cash balances of €13.9 million. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate on euro denominated cash balances would reduce net income by $1.3 million, net of tax.

The Company has entered into and settled positions in euro based forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges for capital purchase commitments. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had capital purchase commitments of €129.1 million ($185.8 million) and forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges of €50.1 million ($72.1 million). An adverse change of 10% in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate would increase the U.S. dollar equivalent of the non-hedged purchase commitment by $11.3 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the foreign currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges of €50.1 million were dedesignated and liquidated.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company held marketable securities with a fair value of $105.6 million, including $66.7 million in fixed income investments consisting of corporate debt securities, municipal bonds, and foreign government bonds, and $38.9 million in equity securities. As of June 30, 2011, a 10% decline in the value of the Company’s investments in marketable securities would reduce income by $6.9 million, net of tax.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company held positions in short sales of marketable equity securities with a fair value of $74.9 million. The Company’s short sales of marketable equity securities primarily include positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. A 10% increase in the value of equity securities underlying the short sale positions of the Company as of June 30, 2011 would reduce income by $4.9 million, net of tax.

The Company has entered into and settled various positions in U.S. treasury notes and bonds through rate locks, futures or options on futures tied to U.S. treasury notes. As of June 30, 2011, these positions consist primarily of treasury futures with a notional value of $134.6 million and a one-year rate lock agreement with a notional value of $100.0 million. The treasury rate lock agreement provides for a net cash settlement in October 2011 based on the then current rate on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note versus the agreement rate of 2.845%. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of these positions was a recorded asset of $3.0 million. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying treasury rate would reduce income by $3.8 million, net of tax.

 

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, 2011. 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, 2011.

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.
