SEACOR MARINE HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, its comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 has not been audited by the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm. 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 Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, which was declared effective on May 11, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”).
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR Marine” refers to SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. without its consolidated subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning given those terms in the Registration Statement.
SEACOR Marine was previously a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (along with its other majority owned subsidiaries 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, par value $0.01 per share (“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. Following the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine began to operate as an independent, publicly traded company.
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 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):
 
2017
 
2016
Balance at beginning of period
$
6,953

 
$
6,953

Revenues deferred during the period
2,337

 

Balance at end of period
$
9,290

 
$
6,953

As of June 30, 2017, deferred revenues of $6.8 million related to the time charter of several offshore support vessels paid through the conveyance of an overriding royalty interest (the “Conveyance”) in developmental oil and 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 June 30, 2017, deferred revenues of $2.3 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.

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 each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond 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, 2017, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Offshore Support Vessels:
 
Wind farm utility vessels
10
All other offshore support vessels (excluding wind farm utility)
20
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 equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, capitalized interest totaled $2.3 million.
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 the estimated 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. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. 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, 2017, the Company recognized impairment charges of $5.7 million primarily associated with one leased-in supply vessel removed from service as it is not expected to be marketed prior to being returned to its owner.
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 that 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 27.2% was primarily due to non-deductible Spin-off-related expenses reimbursed to SEACOR Holdings and losses of foreign subsidiaries not benefited. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 32.8% was primarily due to non-deductible expenses associated with the Company’s participation in SEACOR Holdings’ share award plans and losses of foreign subsidiaries not benefited.

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 method. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested and common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR Marine excluded 4,070,500 common shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR Marine also excluded 120,693 shares of restricted stock 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 new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company is currently determining the impact, if any, the adoption of the new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Principal versus agent considerations of the new standard with respect to the Company’s vessel management services and pooling arrangements may result in a gross presentation of operating revenues and expenses compared with its current net presentation for results from managed and pooled third party equipment.
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 new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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. This new standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have 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 new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

As of June 30, 2017, the remaining principal amount outstanding under the facility was $31.8 million. The Company has recently participated in a $6.0 million preferred equity offering of OSV Partners and invested $2.3 million ($1.8 million in June 2017 and an additional $0.5 million in August 2017) in support of the venture. The lenders to OSV Partners have no recourse to the Company for outstanding amounts under the facility, and the Company is not obligated to any future fundings to OSV Partners.

Falcon Global Term Loan Facility. On August 3, 2015, Falcon Global entered into a term loan facility to finance the construction of two foreign-flag liftboats. The facility consisted of two tranches: (i) a $62.5 million facility to fund the construction costs of the liftboats (“Tranche A”) and (ii) a $18.0 million facility for certain project costs (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the facility bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 2.9%, or an average rate of 3.97% as of June 30, 2017. The facility is secured by the liftboats and is repayable over a five year period beginning the earlier of either six months after completion of the construction of the liftboats or June 30, 2017 and matures no later than June 30, 2022. 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. The Company has consolidated into its financial statements Falcon Global’s debt under this facility of $58.3 million, net of issue costs of $1.0 million, effective March 31, 2017 (see Note 4). During April 2017, the Tranche B facility was canceled prior to any funding. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, Falcon Global made scheduled payments of $1.5 million under Tranche A. As of June 30, 2017, the remaining principal amount outstanding under the facility was $57.8 million and is fully guaranteed by SEACOR Marine.
Falcon Global is currently not in compliance with certain financial maintenance covenants in the facility, including its debt service coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and minimum liquidity covenant and has received waivers from its lenders for these financial covenants for testing periods through and including December 31, 2017. The current waiver would not apply to the testing period ended March 31, 2018. The waiver agreement requires that SEACOR Marine provide a $14.5 million subordinated working capital loan to Falcon Global with the amount being fully funded by December 31, 2017. Falcon Global has one liftboat under charter, subject to customer approval, with several prospects developing for its second liftboat. Given the uncertainties surrounding the future financial performance of the two newly delivered liftboats and Falcon Global’s ability to meet its financial covenants for the next twelve months, the Company has classified the outstanding amounts due under the term loan facility as current obligations.
Sea-Cat Crewzer II. On April 28, 2017, the Company acquired a 100% controlling interest in Sea-Cat Crewzer II through the acquisition of its partners’ 50% ownership interest (see Notes 2 and 4). Sea-Cat Crewzer II has a term loan facility that matures in 2019 which is secured by a first preferred mortgage on its vessels. The facility calls for quarterly payments of principal and interest with a balloon payment of $17.3 million due at maturity. The interest rate is fixed at 1.52%, inclusive of an interest rate swap, plus a margin ranging from 2.10% to 2.75% subject to the level of funded debt (overall rate of 4.27% as of June 30, 2017). The balance of this facility as of June 30, 2017 was $22.1 million.

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. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had euro denominated forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $1.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized gains of $0.1 million on these contracts which were included as decreases 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 losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of $0.4 million and $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate swaps held by the Company and its 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 ($17.1 million) and receive a variable interest rate based on EURIBOR on the aggregate 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 $117.2 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.
Sea-Cat Crewzer II had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2019 that calls for the Company to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $22.1 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 the Company to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.52% on the amortized notional value of $19.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.

The conversion option liability relates to the bifurcated embedded conversion option in the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (see Note 5).
The Company may hold 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. Historically, the Company’s investment in equity options has primarily included positions in energy 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.
The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2017, the fair market value of the outstanding forward currency exchange, option and future contracts was an unrealized gain of $0.1 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.
The Company and certain of its 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 June 30, 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 the Company to pay a fixed interest rate of 2.06% on the amortized notional value of $59.4 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 $35.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.
Dynamic Offshore had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2018 that calls for Dynamic Offshore to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.30% on the amortized notional value of $69.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value.

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.

Marketable security gains (losses), net include unrealized losses of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2017.
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 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 certain 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. 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.

Investments, at equity, and advances in 50% or less owned companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company marked its investments in Sea-Cat Crewzer and Sea-Cat Crewzer II to fair value upon the acquisition of 100% controlling interests in the companies. The fair values were determined based on the purchase price of the acquired interests.

During the six months ended June 30, 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 (see Note 4). Upon the change in control, the Company marked its investment in Falcon Global to fair value. Falcon Global’s primary assets consist of two newly constructed foreign-flag liftboats. The estimated fair value of the liftboats was the primary input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its investment 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.

Falcon Global. Falcon Global owns and operates two foreign-flag liftboats. 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 June 30, 2017, the net assets of Falcon Global were $29.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the net loss of Falcon Global was $5.0 million, of which $2.5 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.
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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 12.5% of Windcat Workboats from noncontrolling interests for $3.7 million. As of June 30, 2017, the net assets of Windcat Workboats were $21.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $0.7 million, of which $0.2 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $3.3 million, of which $0.8 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.
9.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with 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.
Following the completion of the Spin-off, the Company is no longer charged management fees by SEACOR Holdings for their corporate costs. However, the Company continues to be supported by SEACOR Holdings for corporate services provided post Spin-off for a fixed net fee of $6.3 million per annum pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements with SEACOR Holdings. The fees incurred will decline as the services and functions provided by SEACOR Holdings are terminated and replicated within the Company. Fees incurred by the Company pursuant to the Transition Services Agreements are recognized as additional administrative and general expenses in the accompanying statements of loss.
As of June 30, 2017, SEACOR Holdings has guaranteed $107.7 million for various obligations of the Company, including: debt facility and letter of credit obligations; performance obligations under sale-leaseback arrangements; and invoiced amounts for funding deficits under the MNOPF. 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 its sale-leaseback arrangements of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 as additional leased-in equipment operating expenses in the accompanying statements of loss. Guarantee fees paid to SEACOR Holdings for all other obligations are recognized as SEACOR Holdings guarantee fees in the accompanying statements of loss.

Certain officers and employees of the Company 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 $9.4 million upon completion of the Spin-off, including $2.7 million for the distribution of SEACOR Marine restricted stock, which is amortized over the participants’ remaining vesting periods, and $6.7 million on the accelerated vesting of SEACOR Holdings share awards, which was immediately recognized as additional administrative and general expenses in the accompanying 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 June 30, 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 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 statements of loss.
10.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had unfunded capital commitments of $76.4 million that included six fast support vessels, three supply vessels and one wind farm utility vessel. These commitments included $15.4 million for one supply vessel that may be assumed by a third party at their option.

Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company committed to acquire additional equipment for $12.3 million.
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 would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time to the public constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview
The Company provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production facilities worldwide. The Company currently operates a diverse fleet of 182 support and specialty vessels, of which 138 are owned or leased-in, 28 are joint ventured, 13 are managed on behalf of unaffiliated third parties and three are operated under pooling arrangements. The primary users of the Company’s services are major integrated oil companies, large independent oil and gas exploration and production companies and emerging independent companies.
The Company operates its fleet in five principle geographic regions: the United States, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico; Africa, primarily in West Africa; the Middle East and Asia; Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America; and Europe, primarily in the North Sea. The Company’s vessels are highly mobile and regularly and routinely move between countries within a geographic region. In addition, the Company’s vessels are redeployed among the geographic regions, subject to flag restrictions, as changes in market conditions dictate. The number and type of vessels operated, their rates per day worked and their utilization levels are the key determinants of the Company’s operating results and cash flows. Unless a vessel is cold-stacked, there is little reduction in daily running costs and, consequently, operating margins are most sensitive to changes in rates per day worked and utilization. The Company manages its fleet utilizing a global network of shore side support, administrative and finance personnel.

Offshore oil and gas market conditions deteriorated beginning in 2014 and continued to deteriorate in 2016 when oil prices hit a twelve-year low of less than $27 per barrel (on the New York Mercantile Exchange) in February 2016. This decline in oil and gas prices led to a decrease in offshore drilling and associated activity. The Company continued to experience difficult market conditions through the second quarter of 2017 but has experienced a modest improvement from seasonal maintenance and construction activity in the Middle East and U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Low oil prices and the subsequent decline in offshore exploration have forced many operators in the industry to restructure or liquidate assets. The Company continues to closely monitor the delivery of newly built offshore support vessels to the industry-wide fleet, which is creating situations of oversupply, thereby further lowering the demand for the Company’s existing offshore support vessel fleet. A continuation of (i) weak oil and gas prices leading to lower customer exploration and drilling activity levels, and (ii) the increasing size of the global offshore support vessel fleet as newly built vessels are placed into service could, in isolation or together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The Spin-off. SEACOR Marine was previously a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (along with its other majority owned subsidiaries 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, par value $0.01 per share (“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. Following the Spin-off, SEACOR Marine began to operate as an independent, publicly traded company.
