Nature Of Operations And Accounting Policies



1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Segmentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”). The Company provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production facilities worldwide. The Company and its joint ventures operate a diverse fleet of offshore support and specialty vessels that (i) deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations, (ii) handle anchors and mooring equipment required to tether rigs to the seabed, (iii) tow rigs and assist in placing them on location and moving them between regions, (iv) provide construction, well work-over and decommissioning support and (v) carry and launch equipment used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance, inspection and repair. Additionally, the Company’s vessels provide accommodations for technicians and specialists, safety support and emergency response services.

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 assessing performance. The Company has identified the following five principal geographic regions as its reporting segments:

United States, primarily Gulf of Mexico. The Company’s vessels in this market support deepwater anchor handling, fast cargo transport, general cargo transport, well intervention, work-over, decommissioning, and diving operations.

Africa, primarily West Africa. The Company’s vessels in this area generally support projects for major oil companies, primarily in Angola. Other vessels in this region operate in the Republic of the Congo and Mauritania.

Middle East and Asia. The Company’s vessels in this area generally support exploration, personnel transport and seasonal construction activities in Azerbaijan, Egypt, Israel, Indonesia, India and countries along the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America. Through the Company’s 49% noncontrolling interest in Mantenimiento Express Maritimo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MexMar”), the Company’s vessels in Mexico provide support for exploration and production activities in Mexico. In addition, the Company has vessels in Brazil. From time to time, the Company’s vessels have worked in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Colombia and Venezuela.

Europe, primarily North Sea. Demand for standby services developed in 1991 after the United Kingdom passed legislation requiring offshore operators to maintain higher specification standby safety vessels. The legislation requires a vessel to “stand by” to provide a means of evacuation and rescue for platform and rig personnel in the event of an emergency at an offshore installation. In addition, through the Company’s 87.5% controlling interest in Windcat Workboats Holdings Limited (“Windcat Workboats”), the owner of the wind farm utility fleet, the Company supports the construction and maintenance of offshore wind turbines. In the past, the Company has operated supply and anchor handling towing supply vessels in this region.

The Spin-off. SEACOR Marine was previously a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (along with its consolidated subsidiaries, other than SEACOR Marine, collectively referred to as “SEACOR Holdings”). On June 1, 2017, SEACOR Holdings completed a spin-off of SEACOR Marine by way of a pro rata dividend of SEACOR Marine’s Common Stock, all of which was then held by SEACOR Holdings, to SEACOR Holdings’ shareholders of record as of May 22, 2017 (the “Spin-off”). SEACOR Marine entered into certain agreements with SEACOR Holdings to govern SEACOR Marine’s relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the Spin-off, including a Distribution Agreement, two Transition Services Agreements, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement. Immediately following the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine began to operate as an independent, publicly traded company.

Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine and its controlled subsidiaries. Control is generally deemed to exist if the Company has greater than 50% of the voting rights of a subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the combination and consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of equity. The Company reports consolidated net income (loss) inclusive of both the Company’s and the noncontrolling interests’ share, as well as the amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to each of the Company and the noncontrolling interests. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control, any retained noncontrolled equity investment in the former controlled subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) based on such fair value. If a subsidiary is consolidated upon a change in control, any previous noncontrolled equity investment in the subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) based on such fair value.

The Company employs the equity method of accounting for investments in 50% or less owned companies that it does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the business venture. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of a business venture, but may exist when the Company’s ownership percentage is less than 20%. In certain circumstances, the Company may have an economic interest in excess of 50% but may not control and consolidate the business venture. Conversely, the Company may have an economic interest less than 50% but may control and consolidate the business venture. The Company reports its investments in and advances to these business ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as investments, at equity, and advances to 50% or less owned companies. The Company reports its share of earnings from investments in 50% or less owned companies in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss as equity in earnings (losses) of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax.

The Company employs the cost method of accounting for investments in 50% or less owned companies it does not control or exercise significant influence. These investments in private companies are carried at cost and are adjusted only for capital distributions and other-than-temporary declines in fair value.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include those related to deferred revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, impairments, income tax provisions and certain accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from estimates and those differences may be material.

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 for the years ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):



	2017			2016		2015
Balance at beginning of year	$	6,953		$	6,953	$	6,794
Revenues deferred during the year	4,699			—		159
Revenues recognized during the year	(1,548		)	—		—
Balance at end of year	$	10,104		$	6,953	$	6,953

As of December 31, 2017, the Company deferred revenues of $6.8 million related to the time charter of several offshore support vessels scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of an overriding royalty interest (the “Conveyance”) in developmental oil and natural gas producing properties operated by a customer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Payments under the Conveyance, and the timing of such payments, were contingent upon production and energy sale prices. On August 17, 2012, the customer filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Company is vigorously defending its interest in connection with the bankruptcy filing; however, payments received under the Conveyance subsequent to May 19, 2012 are subject to creditors’ claims in bankruptcy court. The Company will recognize revenues when reasonably assured of a judgment in its favor. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company deferred revenues of $3.2 million related to the time charter of an offshore support vessel to a customer from which collection was not reasonably assured. The Company will recognize revenues when collected or when collection is reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to this charter were recognized as incurred.

The Company earns revenues primarily from the time charter and bareboat charter of vessels to customers based upon daily rates of hire. Therefore, vessel revenues are recognized on a daily basis throughout the contract period. Under a time charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer and is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel. Under a bareboat charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and all risk of operation. In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter durations and rates are typically established in the context of master service agreements that govern the terms and conditions of the charter. From time to time, the Company may also participate in pooling arrangements whereby the time charter revenues of certain of the Company’s vessels are shared with the time charter revenues of certain vessels of similar type owned by non-affiliated vessel owners based upon an agreed formula.

Contract or charter durations may range from several days to several years. Longer duration charters are more common where equipment is not as readily available or specific equipment is required. In the North Sea, multi-year charters have been more common and constitute a significant portion of that market. Time charters in Asia have historically been less common and generally contracts or charters have terms of less than two years. In the Company’s other operating areas, charters vary in length from short-term to multi-year periods, many with cancellation clauses and no early termination penalty. As a result of options and frequent renewals, the stated duration of charters may have little correlation with the length of time the vessel is actually contracted to provide services to a particular customer.

Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of U.S. treasury securities, money market instruments, time deposits and overnight investments.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash primarily related to banking facility requirements.

Marketable Securities. Marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values and debt securities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as marketable securities. These investments are stated at fair value, as determined by their market observable prices, with both realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss as marketable security losses, net. Short sales of marketable securities are stated at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with both realized and unrealized losses reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss as marketable security gains (losses), net. Marketable securities are classified as trading securities for financial reporting purposes with gains and losses reported as operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Trade and Other Receivables. Customers are primarily major integrated national and international oil companies and large independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. Trade customers are granted credit on a short-term basis and related credit risks are considered minimal. Other receivables consist primarily of operating expenses incurred by the Company related to vessels it manages for others and insurance and income tax receivables. The Company routinely reviews its receivables and makes provisions for probable doubtful accounts; however, those provisions are estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. Trade receivables are deemed uncollectible and removed from accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted.

Derivative Instruments. The Company accounts for derivatives through the use of a fair value concept whereby all of the Company’s derivative positions are stated at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss 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 consolidated statements of loss 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 loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss 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 portions of cash flow hedges are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss 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 50% or less owned companies are also reported as a component of the Company’s other comprehensive loss in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage, with reclassifications and ineffective portions being included in equity in earnings (losses) of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. The Company is exposed to concentrations of credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, construction reserve funds and derivative instruments. The Company minimizes its credit risk relating to these positions by monitoring the financial condition of the financial institutions and counterparties involved and by primarily conducting business with large, well-established financial institutions and diversifying its counterparties. The Company does not currently anticipate nonperformance by any of its significant counterparties. The Company is also exposed to concentrations of credit risk relating to its receivables due from customers described above. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support its outstanding receivables. The Company minimizes its credit risk relating to receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, to date, credit losses have not been material.

Inventories. Inventories, which consist of fuel and supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company records write-downs, as needed, to adjust the carrying amount of inventories to the lower of cost or market. There were no inventory write-downs during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

Property and Equipment. 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 offshore support vessels, the estimated useful life is typically based upon a newly built vessel being placed into service and represents the point at which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the vessel in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older vessels that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such vessels based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next regulatory survey or certification date.

As of December 31, 2017, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new offshore support vessels was as follows:



Offshore Support Vessels:
Wind farm utility vessels	10
All other offshore support vessels (excluding wind farm utility)	20

(1)	Includes property and equipment acquired in business acquisitions at acquisition date fair value, and net of the impact of recognized impairment charges.


(2)	Includes land, buildings, leasehold improvements, vehicles and other property and equipment.

Depreciation expense totaled $62.8 million, $58.0 million and $60.8 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Equipment maintenance and repair costs and the costs of routine overhauls, drydockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of vessels, as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties, are capitalized.

Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of vessels are capitalized as part of the vessels’ carrying values and are amortized over such vessels’ estimated useful lives. Capitalized interest totaled $3.6 million, $7.0 million and $4.4 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Intangible Assets. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company wrote-off its intangible assets as part of recognized impairment charges associated with its liftboat fleet (see Impairment of Long-Lived Assets below). During the years ended 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized amortization expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying values and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value.

As a result of the difficult conditions experienced in the offshore oil and natural gas markets beginning in the second half of 2014 and the corresponding reductions in utilization and rates per day worked of its fleet, the Company identified indicators of impairment and recognized impairment charges primarily associated with its anchor handling towing supply fleet, its liftboat fleet, certain specialty vessels, vessels removed from service and goodwill. When reviewing its fleet for impairment, the Company groups vessels with similar operating and marketing characteristics, including cold-stacked vessels expected to return to active service, into vessel classes. All other vessels, including vessels retired and removed from service, are evaluated for impairment on a vessel by vessel basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded impairment charges of $27.5 million primarily associated with its anchor handling towing supply vessels, one leased-in supply vessel removed from service as it is not expected to be marketed prior to the expiration of its lease, one owned fast support vessel removed from service and two owned in-service specialty vessels. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded impairment charges of $119.7 million primarily associated with its anchor handling towing supply fleet, its liftboat fleet and one specialty vessel. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.1 million primarily related to the suspended construction of two fast support vessels and the removal from service of one leased-in supply vessel. Estimated fair values for the Company’s owned vessels were established by independent appraisers and other market data such as recent sales of similar vessels (see Note 10). If market conditions further decline from the depressed utilization and rates per day worked experience over the last three years, fair values based on future appraisals could decline significantly.

The Company’s other vessel classes and other individual vessels in active service and cold-stacked status, for which no impairment was deemed necessary, have generally experienced a less severe decline in utilization and rates per day worked based on specific market factors. The market factors include vessels with more general utility to a broad range of customers (e.g., fast support vessels), vessels required for customers to meet regulatory mandates and operating under multiple year contracts (e.g., standby safety vessels) or vessels that service customers outside of the offshore oil and natural gas market (e.g., wind farm utility vessels).

For vessel classes and individual vessels with indicators of impairment but not recently impaired as of December 31, 2017, the Company has estimated that their future undiscounted cash flows exceed their current carrying values. The Company’s estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective as utilization and rates per day worked are uncertain, including the timing of an estimated market recovery in the offshore oil and natural gas markets and the timing and cost of reactivating cold-stacked vessels. If market conditions decline further, changes in the Company’s expectations on future cash flows may result in recognizing additional impairment charges related to its long-lived assets in future periods.

Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value, and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment charges of $8.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively, net of tax, related to its 50% or less owned companies (see Note 4). The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a $13.4 million impairment charge to fully impair all of its previously recorded goodwill.

Business Combinations. The Company recognizes 100% of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity. Shares issued in consideration for a business combination, contingent consideration arrangements and pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies are all measured and recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are generally reflected in earnings. Acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred and any changes in an acquirer’s existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals are recorded as an adjustment to income tax expense. The operating results of entities acquired are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss from the date of acquisition (see Note 2).

Debt Discount and Issue Costs. Debt discounts and costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method for term loans and straight-line method for revolving credit facilities and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss.

Self-insurance Liabilities. The Company maintains marine hull, liability and war risk, general liability, workers compensation and other insurance customary in the industry in which it operates. Both the marine hull and liability policies have annual aggregate deductibles. Marine hull annual aggregate deductibles are accrued as claims are incurred while marine liability annual aggregate deductibles are accrued based on historical loss experience. Exposure to the health benefit plans are limited by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. To the extent that estimated self-insurance losses, including the accrual of annual aggregate deductibles, differ from actual losses realized, the Company’s insurance reserves could differ significantly and may result in either higher or lower insurance expense in future periods.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been provided in recognition of the income tax effect attributable to the book and tax basis differences of assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are provided using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which they are expected to be settled or realized. Interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions are recognized in interest expense and administrative and general, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Prior to the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine was included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of SEACOR Holdings. SEACOR Holdings’ policy for allocation of U.S. federal income taxes required its domestic subsidiaries included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return to compute their provision for U.S. federal income taxes on a separate company basis and settle with SEACOR Holdings.

In the normal course of business, the Company or SEACOR Holdings may be subject to challenges from tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due for the Company. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions. As part of the calculation of income tax expense, the Company determines whether the benefits of its tax positions are at least more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained, the Company accrues the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained. Such accruals require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of its tax benefits and actual results could vary materially from these estimates.

Deferred Gains - Vessel Sale-Leaseback Transactions and Financed Vessel Sales. From time to time, the Company enters into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies or provides seller financing on sales of its vessels to third parties or to 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions is not immediately recognized in income and has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in deferred gains and other liabilities. In sale-leaseback transactions, gains are deferred to the extent of the present value of future minimum lease payments and are amortized as reductions to rental expense over the applicable lease terms. In financed vessel sales, gains are deferred to the extent that the repayment of purchase notes is dependent on the future operations of the sold vessels and are amortized based on cash received from the buyers. Deferred gain activity related to these transactions for the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands):

Deferred Gains – Vessel Sales to the Company’s 50% or Less Owned Companies. A portion of the gains realized from non-financed sales of the Company’s vessels to its 50% or less owned companies has been deferred and recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in deferred gains and other liabilities. In most instances, the sale of a Company vessel to a 50% or less owned company is considered a sale of a business in which the Company relinquishes control to its 50% or less owned company resulting in gain recognition; however, the Company defers gains to the extent of any uncalled capital commitment it has with the 50% or less owned company. Deferred gain activity related to these transactions for the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands):



	2017			2016			2015

Foreign Currency Translation. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain consolidated subsidiaries are measured using their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary foreign economic environment in which they operate. Upon consolidating these subsidiaries with the Company, their assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at currency exchange rates as of the consolidated balance sheet dates and their revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating these subsidiaries’ financial statements are reported in other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Foreign Currency Transactions. Certain consolidated subsidiaries enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from changes in currency exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated are included in foreign currency losses, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss in the period in which the currency exchange rates change.

______________________


(1)	For the year ended December 31, 2017, income tax expense included income tax provisions of $4.5 million recognized as a result of new U.S. tax legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017.

Loss Per Share. Basic loss per common share of the Company is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted loss per common share of the Company is 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 the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, diluted loss per common share of the Company excluded 4,070,500 shares issuable upon the conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive or were contingent upon the Spin-off. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2017, diluted loss per common share of the Company excluded 121,693 shares of restricted stock and 613,700 outstanding stock options as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The core principal of the new standard is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company has determined that adopting the new accounting standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any of its revenue streams.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new leasing standard, which improves transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and will use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company expects the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, although it has not yet determined the extent of the impact.

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which amends or clarifies guidance on classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows, including classification of proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, debt prepayments, debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments after a business combination. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and does not expect the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 24, 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects the impact of the adoption of the new standard to result in a reduction of $12.1 million to the Company’s opening retained earnings.

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The new guidance also conforms the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets with the model in the new revenue standard. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5.	CONSTRUCTION RESERVE FUNDS

The Company has established, pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, construction reserve fund accounts subject to agreements with the Maritime Administration. In accordance with this statute, the Company is permitted to deposit proceeds from the sale of certain vessels into the construction reserve fund accounts and defer the taxable gains realized from the sale of those vessels. Qualified withdrawals from the construction reserve fund accounts are only permitted for the purpose of acquiring qualified U.S.-flag vessels as defined in the statute and approved by the Maritime Administration. To the extent that sales proceeds are reinvested in replacement vessels, the carryover depreciable tax basis of the vessels originally sold is attributed to the U.S.-flag vessels acquired using such qualified withdrawals. The construction reserve funds must be committed for expenditure within three years of the date of sale of the equipment, subject to two one-year extensions that can be granted at the discretion of the Maritime Administration, or be released for the Company’s general use as nonqualified withdrawals. For nonqualified withdrawals, the Company is obligated to pay taxes on the previously deferred gains at the prevailing statutory tax rate plus penalties and interest thereon for the period such taxes were deferred.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s construction reserve funds are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. On December 1, 2015, the Company issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) to investment funds managed and controlled by the Carlyle Group. Interest on the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2016. Upon consummation of a fundamental change in the Company, as more fully described in the indenture, the Company may redeem all the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, or the fair value of consideration the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes would have received if exchanged or converted into the Company immediately prior to the fundamental change (the “Fundamental Change Call”).

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of SEACOR Marine Holdings common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion rate of 23.26 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes only if certain conditions are met, as more fully described in the indenture. The Company, at its option, may under certain circumstances settle any of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes submitted for conversion into its Common Stock through the issuance of an equal number of warrants in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the Jones Act. The warrants, if issued, would entitle their holders to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share upon the resolution of any Jones Act compliance issues. The Company has reserved the maximum number of shares of Common Stock needed upon conversion of the notes and potential exercise of warrants, or 4,070,500 shares, as of December 31, 2017. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may require the Company to purchase for cash all or part of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, only if certain conditions are met, as more fully described in the indenture, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

On November 30, 2015, SEACOR Holdings and the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes also entered into an exchange agreement whereby the holders could have elected to exchange the principal amount of their outstanding notes, in whole or in part, into shares of SEACOR Holdings’ common stock (the “Exchange Option”). The fair value of the financial support received by the Company upon SEACOR Holdings’ issuance of the Exchange Option was recorded as an equity contribution from SEACOR Holdings with a corresponding debt discount to the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The Company had no obligations to SEACOR Holdings or the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes under the Exchange Option. The debt discount of $8.5 million and issue costs of $6.4 million was being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the two year period for which the debt was expected to be outstanding for an overall effective interest rate of 8.7%. Upon completion of the Spin-off, the Exchange Option terminated.

Upon completion of the Spin-off, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option liability of $27.3 million from the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and recorded an additional debt discount (see Notes 9 and 10). The adjusted unamortized debt discount and issue costs are being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the remaining maturity of the debt for an overall effective interest rate of 7.95% and the changes in the fair value of the bifurcated derivative is recorded as derivative income or loss.

For the year ending December 31, 2017, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 63.6% was higher than the Company’s statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to income tax benefits of $43.7 million recognized as a result of new U.S. tax legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017. The majority of the income tax benefits recognized were due to a reduction in U.S. tax rates from 35% to 21% applied to the Company’s domestic basis differences and the elimination of previously accrued deferred taxes on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The components of net deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31 were as follows (in thousands):



	2017			2016
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property and equipment	$	55,262		$	98,654
Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries	—			24,084

Total deferred tax assets	9,915			15,256
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	55,506		$	124,945

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s valuation allowance of $0.6 million related to various state net operating loss carryforwards.

The estimated impact of the new U.S. tax legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017 is based on management’s current knowledge and assumptions. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards excluded unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million as a result of uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the new tax law. The recognition of these unrecognized tax benefits, as well as any other items identified upon the Company’s further analysis of the new tax law, will affect the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods, which could be materially different from the current estimates recorded.

(2)	Included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, except for the conversion option liability on the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

Fair Value Hedges. From time to time, the Company may designate certain of its foreign currency exchange contracts as fair value hedges in respect of capital commitments denominated in foreign currencies. By entering into these foreign currency exchange contracts, the Company may fix a portion of its capital commitments denominated in foreign currencies in U.S. dollars to protect against currency fluctuations. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized gains of $0.1 million and losses of $0.8 million, respectively, on these contracts which were recognized to the corresponding hedged equipment included in construction in progress in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company and certain of its 50% or less owned companies have interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its 50% or less owned companies have converted the variable LIBOR or EURIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate. The Company recognized gains on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and losses of $2.5 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively, as a component of other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2017, the interest rate swaps held by the Company and certain of the Company’s 50% or less owned companies were as follows:


•	Windcat Workboats had two interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2021 that call for the Company to pay a fixed rate of interest of (0.03)% on the aggregate notional value of €15.0 million ($18.0 million) and receive a variable interest rate based on EURIBOR on the aggregate notional value.


•	Sea-Cat Crewzer II had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2019 that calls for Sea-Cat Crewzer II to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $20.9 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.


•	Sea-Cat Crewzer had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2019 that calls for Sea-Cat Crewzer to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $18.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.


•	MexMar had five interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2023 that call for MexMar to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.71% to 2.10% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $110.8 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.

Other Derivative Instruments. The Company recognized gains (losses) on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31 as follows (in thousands):



	Derivative gains (losses), net
	2017			2016			2015
Conversion option liability on 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes	$	20,422		$	—		$	—

The conversion option liability relates to the bifurcated embedded conversion option in the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (See Notes 7 and 10).

The Company and certain of the Company’s 50% or less owned companies have entered into interest rate swap agreements for the general purpose of providing protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs. As of December 31, 2017, the interest rate swaps held by the Company or its 50% or less owned companies were as follows:


•	Falcon Global had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2022 that calls for Falcon Global to pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.06% on the amortized notional value of $56.3 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.


•	OSV Partners had two interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2020 that call for OSV Partners to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.89% to 2.27% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $33.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.


•	Dynamic Offshore Drilling had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2018 that calls for Dynamic Offshore Drilling to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.30% on the amortized notional value of $64.2 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.

Prior to 2017, the Company held 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 included positions in energy related businesses. These contracts were typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in market value of marketable security positions that the Company was either about to acquire, had acquired or was about to dispose.

The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. 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. There are no outstanding contracts at December 31, 2017.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements



10.	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. 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 financial assets and liabilities as of December 31 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Derivative instruments (included in other receivables)	$	—	$	419	$	—

Level 3 Measurement. The fair value of the conversion option liability on the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes is estimated with significant inputs that are both observable and unobservable in the market and therefore is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company used a binomial lattice model that assumes the holders will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between redeeming at the redemption price or exchanging into shares of Common Stock. This model estimates the fair value of the conversion option as the differential in the fair value of the notes including the conversion option compared with the fair value of the notes excluding the conversion option. The significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the price of Common Stock and the risk free interest rate. The significant unobservable inputs are the estimated Company credit spread and Common Stock volatility, which were based on comparable companies in the marine transportation and energy industries.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities as of December 31 were as follows (in thousands):



	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
2017
ASSETS
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	112,551	$	112,551	$	—	$	—
Investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies (included in other assets)	132		see below
LIABILITIES
Long-term debt, including current portion	314,899		—		291,932		—
2016
ASSETS
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	118,771	$	118,771	$	—	$	—
Investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies (included in other assets)	132		see below
LIABILITIES
Long-term debt, including current portion	238,205		—		242,404		—

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 by using discounted cash flow analysis 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 a quoted market price and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. 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.

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the years ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
2017

Property and equipment:
Anchor handling towing supply	$	—	$	12,400	$	—

Investments, at equity, in 50% or less owned companies	—		—		18,539
Notes receivable from third parties (included in other assets)	—		—		11,900

Property and equipment. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment charges of $27.5 million and $119.7 million, respectively, associated with certain offshore support vessels (see Note 1). The Level 2 fair values were determined based on the contracted sales prices of the property and equipment, sales prices of similar property and equipment or scrap value, as applicable. The Level 3 fair values were determined based on third-party valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. Due to limited market transactions, the primary valuation methodology applied by the appraisers was an estimated cost approach less estimated economic depreciation for comparably aged and conditioned assets less estimated economic obsolescence based on market data or utilization and rates per day worked trending of the vessels since 2014.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the anchor handling towing supply fleet during 2016 were the estimated construction costs for similar new equipment of $364.0 million, estimated economic fleet depreciation of 55% based on average expected remaining useful life and estimated economic obsolescence of 74%.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the liftboat fleet during 2016 were the estimated construction costs for similar new equipment of $279.0 million, estimated economic fleet depreciation of 42% based on average expected remaining useful life and estimated average economic obsolescence of 61%.

Investments, at equity, in 50% or less owned companies. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company marked its investments to fair value in certain of its 50% or less owned companies. The Level 2 fair values were determined based on the purchase price of acquired interests or sales prices of similar equipment held in the venture. The Level 3 fair values were determined based on third-party valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. The significant Level 3 valuations were as follows:

•

The Company’s partner declined to participate in a capital call from Falcon Global during 2017 and, as a consequence, the Company obtained 100% voting control of Falcon Global in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement (see Note 4). Upon the change in control, the Company’s investment in Falcon Global was deemed to approximate fair value as a result of its recent impairment (see below).

•

The Company identified indicators of impairment in its investment in Falcon Global during 2016 as a result of continuing weak market conditions and, as a consequence, recognized a $6.4 million impairment charge, net of tax, for an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Falcon Global’s primary assets consist of two liftboats in the final stages of construction and the estimated fair value of the liftboats was the primary input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its investment (see Note 4) and resulting impairment charge. The fair value of the liftboats was determined based on a third-party valuation using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Due to limited market transactions, the primary valuation methodology applied by the appraisers was an estimated cost approach less economic obsolescence based on utilization and rates per day worked trending over the prior year in the Middle East region where the vessels are intended to operate. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement were the estimated construction costs of similar new equipment and economic obsolescence of 25%.

Notes receivable from third parties. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $1.8 million reserve for its note receivable from a third party following non-performance and a decline in the underlying collateral value. The reserve was based on a third-party valuation of the underlying collateral using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. Due to limited market transactions, the primary valuation methodology applied by the appraisers was an estimated cost approach less estimated economic depreciation for comparably aged assets and less estimated economic obsolescence. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement were the estimated construction costs of similar new equipment and estimated economic depreciation of 33% and estimated obsolescence of 56% (see Note 6).

11.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On January 1, 2015, SEACOR Holdings contributed all of its majority-owned subsidiaries that provide offshore marine services to SEACOR Marine, except for an immaterial energy logistics business that was liquidated in December 2015. Any subsidiaries not providing offshore marine services and previously owned by the contributed subsidiaries were distributed to, or purchased by, SEACOR Holdings prior to the contribution. The Company received $6.9 million from SEACOR Holdings relating to the purchase of certain of these subsidiaries at carrying value, which was recorded as a capital contribution at the formation of SEACOR Marine.

On December 1, 2015, SEACOR Holdings issued the Exchange Option in support of the Company’s issuance of its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The fair value of the financial support received by the Company was $5.5 million, net of tax, and was recorded as an equity contribution from SEACOR Holdings. The Company had no obligations to SEACOR Holdings or the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes in respect of the Exchange Option (see Note 7).

The Company paid cash dividends of $1.8 million to SEACOR Holdings during the year ended December 31, 2015.

In March 2017, the Company’s partner declined to participate in a capital call from Falcon Global and, as a consequence, the Company obtained 100% voting control of Falcon Global in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement and began consolidating Falcon Global’s net assets effective March 31, 2017 (see Note 4). As of December 31, 2017, the net assets of Falcon Global were $24.2 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 (the period which Falcon Global has been consolidated into the Company’s financial statements), the net loss of Falcon Global was $10.6 million, of which $5.3 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that the formation and capitalization of a joint venture between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Montco Offshore, LLC (“MOI”, an affiliate of our partner in Falcon Global) was consummated on February 8, 2018. In connection therewith and MOI’s plan of reorganization, which was confirmed on January 18, 2018, MOI emerged from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. In accordance with the terms of a Joint Venture Contribution and Formation Agreement, the Company and MOI contributed certain liftboat vessels and other related assets, including each partner’s 50% interest in Falcon Global, to Falcon Global Holdings LLC (“FGH”) and its designated subsidiaries, and FGH and its designated subsidiaries assumed certain operating liabilities and indebtedness associated with the liftboat vessels and related assets. On February 8, 2018, Falcon Global USA LLC (“FGUSA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FGH, paid $15.0 million of MOI’s debtor-in-possession obligations and entered into a $131.1 million credit agreement comprised of a $116.1 million term loan and a $15.0 million revolving loan facility (the “FGUSA Credit Facility”). The full amount of the term loan and other amounts paid by affiliates of MOI satisfied in full the amounts outstanding under MOI’s pre-petition credit facilities. The FGUSA Credit Facility, apart from a guarantee of certain interest payments and participation fees for two years after the closing of the transactions, is non-recourse to SEACOR Marine and its subsidiaries other than FGUSA. The Company will consolidate FGH as the Company holds approximately 72% of the equity interest in FGH and is entitled to appoint a majority of the board of managers of FGH. Immediately following the capitalization of FGH, the Company borrowed $5.0 million under the revolving loan facility for working capital purposes.

Windcat Workboats. Windcat Workboats owns and operates the Company’s wind farm utility vessels that are primarily used to move personnel and supplies in the major offshore wind markets of Europe. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 12.5% of Windcat Workboats from noncontrolling interests for $3.7 million. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the net assets of Windcat Workboats were $20.8 million and $21.1 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $2.1 million, of which $0.4 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $4.5 million, of which $1.1 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the net income of Windcat Workboats was $1.6 million, of which $0.4 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Savings Plans And Multiemployer Pension Plans



13.	SAVINGS AND MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

SEACOR Marine Savings Plan. On January 1, 2016, the Company’s eligible U.S. based employees were transferred to the “SEACOR Marine 401(k) Plan,” a new Company sponsored defined contribution plan. The Company currently does not contribute to the SEACOR Marine 401(k) Plan. The SEACOR Marine 401(k) Plan costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were not material. Prior to January 1, 2016, the Company participated in a SEACOR Holdings sponsored defined contribution plan for its eligible U.S. based employees (the “Savings Plan”). The Company’s contribution to the Savings Plan was limited to 3.5% of an employee’s wages depending upon the employee’s level of voluntary wage deferral into the Savings Plan and was subject to annual review by the Board of Directors of SEACOR Holdings. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s contribution to the Savings Plan was $1.3 million.

MNOPF and MNRPF. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are participating employers in two industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension funds in the United Kingdom: the MNOPF and the MNRPF. The Company’s participation in the MNOPF and MNRPF began with the acquisition of the Stirling group of companies in 2001 and relates to the current and former employment of certain officers and ratings by the Company and/or Stirling’s predecessors from 1978 through today. Both of these plans are in deficit positions and, depending upon the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the plans could experience funding deficits that will require the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

Under the direction of a court order, any funding deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating current and former employers. Prior to 2015, the Company was invoiced and expensed $19.4 million for its allocated share of the then cumulative funding deficits, including portions deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain former employers.

The cumulative funding deficits of the MNRPF were being recovered by additional annual contributions from current employers that were subject to adjustment following the results of future tri-annual actuarial valuations. Prior to 2015, the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.4 million for its allocated share of the then cumulative funding deficits. On February 25, 2015, the High Court approved a new deficit contribution scheme, whereby any funding deficit of the MNRPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating current and former employers, in a manner similar to the operation of the MNOPF. Based on an actuarial valuation in 2014, the potential cumulative funding deficit of the MNRPF was $491.7 million (£325.0 million). On August 28, 2015, the Company was invoiced and recognized payroll related operating expenses of $6.9 million (£4.5 million) for its allocated share of the cumulative funding deficit, including portions deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain former employers. The invoiced amounts are payable in four installments, beginning in October 2015.

Other Plans. Certain employees participate in other defined contribution plans in various international regions including the United Kingdom and Singapore. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred costs of $0.7 million per annum in the aggregate related to these plans, primarily from employer matching contributions.

Share Based Compensation



14.	SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan. During 2017, the Company adopted the SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee, or another committee designated by the Board and made up of two or more non-employee directors and outside directors, to provide equity-based or other incentive-based compensation for the purpose of attracting and retaining the Company and its affiliates’ directors, employees and certain consultants, and providing those directors, employees and consultants incentive opportunities and rewards for superior performance. The Board has authorized the issuance of 2,174,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with awards pursuant to the 2017 Plan, which is equal to 10% of the total number shares of SEACOR Marine Common Stock. The types of awards under the 2017 Plan may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2017, a total of 1,556,300 shares remained available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

Restricted stock typically vests from one to four years after the date of grant and options to purchase shares of Common Stock typically vest and become exercisable from one to four years after date of grant. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under the 2017 Plan expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. In the event of a participant’s death, retirement, termination by the Company without cause or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Plan, restricted stock vests immediately and options to purchase shares of Common Stock vest and become immediately exercisable.

Distribution of SEACOR Marine Restricted Stock by SEACOR Holdings. Certain officers and employees of the Company previously received compensation through participation in SEACOR Holdings share award plans. Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, participating Company personnel vested in all outstanding SEACOR Holdings share awards upon the Spin-off and received SEACOR Marine restricted stock from the Spin-off distribution in connection with outstanding SEACOR Holdings restricted stock held. As a consequence, the Company paid SEACOR Holdings $2.7 million upon completion of the Spin-off for the distribution of 120,693 shares of SEACOR Marine restricted stock, which is being amortized over the participants’ remaining original vesting periods (see Note 15).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During 2017, the Company adopted the SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Marine ESPP”). The Marine ESPP, if implemented by the Company’s board of directors, will permit the Company to offer shares of its Common Stock for purchase by eligible employees at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of a share of its Common Stock on the first day of the offering period or (ii) the fair market value of a share of its Common Stock on the last day of the offering period. There are 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Marine ESPP during the ten years following its adoption.

Share Award Transactions. The following transactions have occurred in connection with the Company’s share based compensation under the 2017 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2017:

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized $0.8 million of compensation expense related to stock awards, restricted stock and stock options granted to employees and directors under the 2017 Plan and $0.6 million of compensation expense related to SEACOR Marine restricted stock distributed to employees by SEACOR Holdings in connection with the Spin-off (collectively referred to as “share awards”). As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in total unrecognized compensation costs of which $1.7 million and $1.4 million are expected to be recognized in 2018 and 2019, respectively, with the remaining balance recognized through 2021.

The weighted average value of restricted stock granted under the 2017 Plan was $12.50 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The weighted average value and exercise price of stock options granted under the 2017 Plan was $6.41 and $12.50, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The fair value of each option granted during the year ended December 31, 2017 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (a) no dividend yield; (b) weighted average expected volatility of 52.5%; (c) weighted average discount rate of 2.22% and (d) expected life of 6.00 years. As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average remaining contractual term for total outstanding stock options was 9.90 years. As of December 31, 2017, there was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding.

15.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company provided services of $0.1 million to SEACOR Holdings during each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

On December 1, 2015, the Company purchased a third party note receivable from SEACOR Holdings secured by offshore marine equipment for $13.6 million (see Note 6).

On December 1, 2015, the Company purchased $36.6 million of marketable securities from SEACOR Holdings.

In connection with the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine entered into certain agreements with SEACOR Holdings that govern SEACOR Marine’s relationship with SEACOR Holdings following the Spin-off, including a Distribution Agreement, two Transition Services Agreements, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement.

As of December 31, 2017, SEACOR Holdings has guaranteed $69.1 million for various obligations of the Company, including: BNDES Equipment Construction Finance Notes (see Note 7); letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company; performance obligations under sale-leaseback arrangements (see Note 16); and invoiced amounts for funding deficits under the MNOPF (see Note 13). Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, SEACOR Holdings charges the Company a fee of 0.5% on outstanding guaranteed amounts, which declines as the guaranteed obligations are settled by the Company. The Company recognized guarantee fees in connection with sale-leaseback arrangements of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as additional leased-in equipment operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss. Guarantee fees paid to SEACOR Holdings for all other obligations are recognized as SEACOR Holdings guarantee fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss.

Pursuant to one of the Transitions Services Agreements with SEACOR Holdings, the Company is obligated to reimburse SEACOR Holdings up to 50% of the severance and restructuring costs actually incurred by SEACOR Holdings as a result of the Spin-off up to, but not in excess of, $6.0 million (such that the Company shall not be obligated to pay more than $3.0 million). As of December 31, 2017, the Company has reimbursed SEACOR Holdings severance and restructuring costs of $0.7 million recognized as additional administrative and general expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss.

Immediately preceding the Spin-off and pursuant to an Investment Agreement dated November 30, 2015 with the holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company reimbursed SEACOR Holdings for the final settlement of non-deductible Spin-off related expenses of $3.4 million recognized as additional administrative and general expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss.

Following the completion of the Spin-off, the Company is no longer charged for management fees or shared services allocation (see below) for administrative support by SEACOR Holdings; however, the Company continues to be supported by SEACOR Holdings for corporate services for a net fee of $6.3 million per annum pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements with SEACOR Holdings. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred fees of $3.3 million for these services that were recognized as additional administrative and general expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss. The fees incurred will decline as the services and functions provided by SEACOR Holdings are terminated and replicated within the Company.

Prior to the Spin-off, certain costs and expenses of the Company were borne by SEACOR Holdings and charged to the Company. These costs and expenses are included in both operating and administrative and general expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and are summarized as follows for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):



	2017		2016		2015
Payroll costs for SEACOR Holdings personnel assigned to the Company	$	—	$	—	$	57,939

•	Actual payroll costs of SEACOR Holdings personnel assigned to the Company were charged to the Company. On January 1, 2016, the Company hired all of its employees directly and no longer had seconded personnel from SEACOR Holdings.


•	SEACOR Holdings maintained self-insured health benefit plans for participating employees, including those of the Company, and charged the Company for its share of total plan costs incurred based on the percentage of its participating employees. Following the Spin-off, the Company no longer participates in SEACOR Holdings’ self-insured health benefit plans.

•

SEACOR Holdings provided a defined contribution plan for participating U.S. employees, including those of the Company, and charged the Company for its share of employer matching contributions, which was limited to 3.5% of an employee’s wages depending upon the employee’s level of voluntary wage deferral contributed to the plan. On January 1, 2016, the Company’s eligible U.S. based employees were transferred to the SEACOR Marine 401(k) Plan.

•

Certain officers and employees of the Company received compensation through participation in SEACOR Holdings’ share award plans. The Company paid SEACOR Holdings for the fair value of its employees’ share awards. Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement with SEACOR Holdings, participating Company personnel vested in all outstanding SEACOR Holdings share awards upon the Spin-off and received SEACOR Marine restricted stock from the Spin-off distribution in connection with outstanding SEACOR Holdings restricted stock held. As a consequence, the Company paid SEACOR Holdings $9.4 million upon completion of the Spin-off, including $2.7 million for the distribution of 120,693 shares of SEACOR Marine restricted stock (see Note 14), which is being amortized over the participants’ remaining original vesting periods, and $6.7 million on the accelerated vesting of SEACOR Holdings share awards, which was immediately recognized. In addition, the Company recognized and paid share award expense of $1.7 million through the date of the Spin-off.

•

Prior to the Spin-off, SEACOR Holdings provided certain administrative support services to the Company under a shared services arrangement, including but not limited to payroll processing, information systems support, benefit plan management, cash disbursement support and treasury management. The Company was charged for its share of actual costs incurred generally based on volume processed or units supported.

Prior to the Spin-off, SEACOR Holdings incurred various corporate costs in connection with providing certain corporate services, including, but not limited to, executive oversight, risk management, legal, accounting and tax, and charged quarterly management fees to the Company in order to fund its corporate overhead to cover such costs. Total management fees charged by SEACOR Holdings to the Company included actual corporate costs incurred plus a mark-up and were generally allocated within the consolidated group using income-based performance metrics reported by an operating segment in relation to SEACOR Holding’s other operating segments. On November 30, 2015, contemporaneously with the issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company and SEACOR Holdings entered into an agreement for SEACOR Holdings to provide these services at a fixed rate of $7.7 million per annum beginning December 1, 2015 until the Spin-off. The Company’s incurred management fees from SEACOR Holdings were settled on a monthly basis and reported as SEACOR Holdings management fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss.

Prior to the Company’s issuance of its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes on December 1, 2015, the Company participated in a cash management program whereby certain operating and capital expenditures of the Company were funded through advances from SEACOR Holdings and certain cash collections of the Company were forwarded to SEACOR Holdings. Net amounts under this program were reported as advances from SEACOR Holdings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company earned interest income on outstanding advances to SEACOR Holdings and incurred interest expense on outstanding advances from SEACOR Holdings, both being reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss as interest expense on advances and notes with SEACOR Holdings, net. Interest was calculated and settled on a quarterly basis using interest rates set at the discretion of SEACOR Holdings.

SEACOR Holdings also issued notes to fund the working capital needs or acquisitions of the Company, generally to the Company’s international entities. The terms of these notes varied including periodic principal and interest payments, periodic interest only payments with balloon principal payment due at maturity, or balloon principal and interest payments due at maturity. As circumstances warrant, SEACOR Holdings had changed or extended the terms of these notes at its discretion. Interest expense incurred under these arrangements is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss as interest expense on advances and notes with SEACOR Holdings, net. All of the Company’s notes payable due SEACOR Holdings were settled during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Charles Fabrikant (Non-Executive Chairman of SEACOR Marine), John Gellert (President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of SEACOR Marine), other members of the Company’s management and board of directors and other unaffiliated individuals indirectly invested in OSV Partners by purchasing interests from two unaffiliated limited partners of OSV Partners who wished to dispose of their interests. As of December 31, 2017, limited liability companies controlled by management and directors of the Company had invested $1.5 million, or 3.9%, and $0.3 million, or 5.0%, in the limited partner interests and preferred interests of OSV Partners, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies



16.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had capital commitments of $66.7 million that included four fast support vessels, three supply vessels and two wind farm utility vessels. The delivery dates and payment of certain costs (originally scheduled for payment in 2018, 2019 and 2020) for two of the fast support vessels are uncertain as the Company, at its option, may defer their construction for an indefinite period of time. The Company’s capital commitments by year of expected payment are as follows (in thousands):



2018	$	13,435
2019	21,919
2020	10,696
Deferred (estimated based on current construction pricing)	20,697
	$	66,747

Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company committed an additional $11.0 million ($10.1 million to be paid in 2018 and $0.9 million to be paid in 2019) to acquire two additional wind farm utility vessels and convert two of its existing supply vessels to a standby safety configuration.

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 that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company leases seven offshore support vessels and certain facilities and other equipment. These leasing agreements have been classified as operating leases for financial reporting purposes and related rental fees are charged to expense over the lease terms. The leases generally contain purchase and lease renewal options or rights of first refusal with respect to the sale or lease of the equipment. The lease terms range in duration from one to four years. Certain of the equipment leases are the result of sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies and certain of the gains arising from such sale-leaseback transactions have been deferred in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized as reductions in rental expense over the lease terms (see Note 1).

Total rental expense for the Company’s operating leases in 2017, 2016 and 2015 totaled $14.5 million, $19.4 million and $24.5 million, respectively. Future minimum payments in the years ended December 31 under operating leases that have a remaining term in excess of one year as of December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

17.	MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, Perenco UK Limited was responsible for $26.8 million or 15.2% and $28.4 million or 13.2%, respectively, of the Company’s total consolidated operating revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2015, no single customer was responsible for more than 10% of the Company’s operating revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the ten largest customers of the Company accounted for approximately 59%, 58% and 55%, respectively, of the Company’s operating revenues. The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, approximately 87%, 85% and 68%, respectively, of the Company’s operating revenues and $1.9 million, $(4.2) million and $8.6 million, respectively, of equity in earnings (losses) from 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, were derived from its foreign operations.

The Company’s offshore support vessels are highly mobile and regularly and routinely move between countries within a geographic region of the world. In addition, these vessels may be redeployed among the geographic regions, subject to flag restrictions, as changes in market conditions dictate. Because of this asset mobility, operating revenues and long-lived assets in any one country and capital expenditures for long-lived assets and gains or losses on asset dispositions and impairments in any one geographic region are not considered meaningful.

The following tables summarize (in thousands) the operating results and property and equipment of the Company’s reportable segments. Direct vessel profit is the Company’s measure of segment profitability, a key metric in assessing the performance of its fleet. Direct vessel profit is defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses excluding leased-in equipment expense. The Company utilizes direct vessel profit as its primary financial measure to analyze and compare the operating performance of its individual vessels, fleet categories, regions and combined fleet.
