COVINGTON, La., April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS, OTCQB:HOSS) (the "Company") announced today that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a restructuring support agreement (the "Restructuring Support Agreement") with secured lenders holding approximately 83% of the Company's aggregate secured indebtedness and unsecured noteholders holding approximately 79% of the Company's aggregate unsecured notes outstanding related to a balance sheet restructuring of the Company expected to be implemented through a voluntary pre-packaged Chapter 11 case in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in the coming weeks with a targeted completion date prior to the end of the second quarter of 2020.
The Restructuring Support Agreement contemplates a $75 million debtor-in-possession term loan facility provided by existing creditors and permitted use of existing cash on hand and cash generated from operations to support the business during the financial restructuring process, which will enable the Company to operate in the ordinary course of business without disruption to its customers, vendors and workforce. The Restructuring Support Agreement provides for payment in full of all vendors and employees.
In addition, pursuant to the reorganization contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Company will achieve long term enterprise benefits including (i) a significant de-levering of its capital structure; (ii) post-emergence access to $100 million of new equity capital through a common stock rights offering, fully-backstopped by existing creditors and (iii) the ability to arrange additional post-emergence financings for certain purposes, including strategic initiatives.
The parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement agreed to other customary terms and conditions including certain transfer restrictions, releases of all claims and interests that are treated in the plan of reorganization, and termination rights upon the occurrence of certain events, including the failure of the Company to achieve certain milestones, which milestones may be extended with the consent of the holders of a requisite amount of secured and unsecured indebtedness and the Company.
The Company expects the pre-packaged Chapter 11 reorganization to be completed very quickly with the support of its creditors. Both prior to and subsequent to the expected Chapter 11 filing, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to continue operations, meet all operational payment obligations and support its business, and will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business without disruption to its customers, vendors and workforce. The Company remains focused on executing on its strategic priorities and is committed to maintaining safe, efficient and responsive operations during the reorganization with its vessels available and service delivery continuing as normal.
Commenting on the Company's plans, Todd M. Hornbeck, Chairman, President and CEO stated, "The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent drop in oil prices due to an acute global supply-demand imbalance have significantly impacted the industries we serve, making an already challenging environment for the Company even more difficult. The shared objectives of the Company and our creditors are to meaningfully reduce the Company's financial leverage on a consensual basis and source new capital to position the Company for future growth. I want to thank our secured lenders and unsecured noteholders for joining together with us on a game plan for an expedited court-supervised financial restructuring process. This consensual approach to reorganization and recapitalization is in the best long-term interest of our Company, as it will enable us to take advantage of new opportunities while continuing to support our customers, retain our employees and pay our vendors."
As previously reported, on March 31, 2020, the Company entered into agreements pursuant to which requisite majorities of the Company's secured lenders and unsecured noteholders agreed to forbear from exercising certain of their rights and remedies with respect to certain defaults by the Company. Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, these forbearances are extended contemporaneously to the relevant dates in the Restructuring Support Agreement.
Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Winstead PC and Jackson Walker LLP are serving as legal counsel to the Company, Guggenheim Securities, LLC is acting as financial advisor, Portage Point Partners, LLC is serving as restructuring advisor and Stretto is serving as claims and noticing agent.

COVINGTON, La., Feb. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS, OTCQB:HOSS) (the "Company") announced today that with the support of a super-majority of the holders of the Company's Existing Notes (defined below) and a majority of the Company's stockholders, it has commenced private offers to exchange (the "Exchange Offers") any and all of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and 5.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes" and, together with the 2020 Notes, the "Existing Notes") for a combination of its newly issued 10.000% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes") and 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2023 Senior Notes, the "New Notes") and a private offer to purchase (the "Cash Tender Offer" and, together with the Exchange Offers, the "Offers") for cash up to $66.7 million in aggregate principal amount (the "Tender Cap") of Existing Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in a confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated February 14, 2020 (the "Offering Memorandum").
The Company has also entered into a Transaction Support Agreement, dated February 14, 2020 (the "Transaction Support Agreement") with holders (the "Supporting Holders") of approximately 80% of the $224.3 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2020 Notes and 89% of the $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2021 Notes. Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, the Supporting Holders have agreed to (i) validly tender their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers, (ii) deliver their consents and agreed waiver and releases in connection with the consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitations" and such consents, the "Consents") described below, (iii) not to withdraw or revoke any Existing Notes tendered and any Consents delivered in the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations; and (iv) cooperate with and support the Company's efforts to consummate the Offers and Consent Solicitations.
In connection therewith, the Company has also received advance stockholder support agreements from approximately 52% of the holders of its outstanding common stock to vote in favor of certain proposals contained in a proxy solicitation required as a condition to the Exchange Offers. The proposals will require approval of 66 2/3% of the Company's stockholders.
In addition to extending the Company's upcoming debt maturities, if the Exchange Offers are consummated, the Company will contribute certain vessels and related assets to one or more "unrestricted subsidiaries" that are not subject to most of the restrictions under the indentures governing the New Notes or the Company's existing credit facilities. The Company and certain Supporting Holders (the "Backstop Lenders") have entered into a Letter Agreement Regarding Proposed Backstop Financing, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Backstop Lenders have agreed to pursue in good faith a financing described therein to a to-be-formed unrestricted subsidiary of the Company (the "Borrower") in the form of a senior secured loan (the "New Secured Loan") in a principal amount of not less than $200,000,000, the proceeds of the which are intended to fund the acquisition of certain assets. The Borrower is not required to draw on the New Secured Loan, and this structure will permit the Company to immediately seek separate financings through these unrestricted subsidiaries, increasing liquidity and providing flexibility for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities. As of the date hereof, there are no agreements or arrangements with respect to the acquisition of any specific assets.

COVINGTON, La., Dec. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today that it expects its common stock to commence trading on the OTC Pink marketplace ("OTC Pink"), effective December 23, 2019. OTC Markets Group Inc. operates the world's largest electronic marketplace for broker-dealers to trade unlisted stocks, including the OTC Pink.
The transition to the OTC Pink comes after the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE" or "Exchange") announced that trading of the Company's common stock was suspended after the market closed on December 20, 2019. Trading was suspended because the Company did not maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15 million over a consecutive 30-trading-day period, as required by NYSE continued listing standards.
The Company intends to appeal the NYSE's determination to commence proceedings to delist the Company's common stock on the NYSE and will request a review of its appeal by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange (the "Committee"). The Company's timely appeal will stay the delisting but will not stay the suspension of trading of its shares on the NYSE pending completion of the Committee review process. Meanwhile, the Company intends to apply for the trading of its stock on the OTCQX Marketplace and, upon commencement of trading on such marketplace, it is anticipated that the shares of its common stock would continue trading under the symbol "HOSS".
The transition to the OTC Pink, and upon trading thereon, the OTCQX Marketplace, does not change the Company's obligation to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under applicable federal securities laws. In addition, the transition of the Company's stock to the OTC Pink, and upon trading thereon, to the OTCQX Marketplace, will have no effect on its shares of common stock. The Company's stockholders remain owners of the common stock and are expected to be able to trade the common stock on the OTC Pink as of December 23, 2019 and, subsequently, on the OTCQX Marketplace, pending the Company's appeal of its delisting on the NYSE.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about the Company's plans and intentions regarding its appeal of the delisting determination and suspension of trading of its common stock on the NYSE, whether or not such appeal will be successful and expected trading on the OTC Pink and the OTCQX Marketplace. These statements are based on the Company's current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events, which it believes to be reasonable. However, the Company can provide no assurance that its common stock will maintain its listing on the NYSE or commence or continue to trade on any OTC marketplace.

COVINGTON, La., Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2019 of $(41.4) million, or $(1.09) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(31.2) million, or $(0.83) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018; and a net loss of $(31.9) million, or $(0.84) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. Diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2019 were 38.0 million compared to 37.6 million and 37.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2019, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2019 was $(1.9) million compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $52.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 9.7%, from $58.5 million for the third quarter of 2018; and a decrease of $4.0 million, or 7.0%, from $56.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease in revenues resulted from continuing soft market conditions for the Company's vessels. The sequential decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in revenues from the Company's OSVs, partially offset by improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 37 vessels stacked, comprised of 35 OSVs and two MPSVs. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had an average of 37.0 vessels stacked compared to 40.7 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 37.8 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(30.2) million, or (57.2)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $(22.4) million, or (38.3)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(24.8) million, or (43.6)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2019. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2019 were $19,750 compared to $19,446 for the same period in 2018 and $18,198 for the second quarter of 2019. New generation OSV utilization was 23.4% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 26.1% for the year-ago quarter and 32.3% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 49.9%, 65.4% and 70.4% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2019 were $4,622 compared to $5,075 for the same period in 2018 and $5,878 for the second quarter of 2019.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $41.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $2.9 million, or 7.6%, from $38.2 million for the third quarter of 2018; and an increase of $0.9 million, or 2.2%, from $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. The year-over-year and sequential increases in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $13.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, and $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease was due to lower long-term incentive compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Long-term incentive compensation expense was higher in the prior-year quarter primarily due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment on cash-settled stock-based awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during such quarter. Nearly all of these cash-settled share-based awards were modified to settle in stock during the second quarter of 2019 at a price that was lower than such awards were valued during the three months ended September 30, 2018. This favorable variance was partially offset by higher bad debt reserves.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, or $1.0 million higher than the year-ago quarter and $0.2 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense was in-line with the year-ago and sequential quarters. The year-over-year increase in amortization expense of $1.3 million is primarily due to costs associated with the initial special surveys for vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program and costs associated with the drydocking of two vessels that were acquired in the second quarter of 2018. Amortization expense is expected to increase temporarily whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert to historical average levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $22.3 million during the third quarter of 2019, which was $5.8 million higher than the same period in 2018 and $2.3 million higher than the sequential quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to additional interest expense associated with the issuance of additional first-lien and second-lien term loans, as well as loans under the Senior Credit Facility, since September 30, 2018.
Nine Month Results
Revenues for the first nine months of 2019 increased 3.3% to $163.7 million compared to $158.5 million for the same period in 2018. Operating loss was $(81.7) million, or (49.9)% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $(71.8) million, or (45.3)% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net loss for the first nine months of 2019 increased $15.1 million to a net loss of $(110.0) million, or $(2.90) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(94.9) million, or $(2.53) per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2018. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2019 decreased 65.2% to $3.2 million compared to $9.2 million for the first nine months of 2018. The year-over-year increase in vessel revenues is attributable to modestly improved market conditions for the Company's OSVs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had an average of 36.2 active vessels compared to 29.8 active vessels in the prior-year period.
Recent Developments
Outcome of Shipyard Arbitration Proceedings. On January 22, 2016, the Company initiated an arbitration demand in accordance with the vessel construction agreement dated November 14, 2011 with VT Halter Marine, Inc. ("Halter") to construct ten 300 class OSVs as part of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program. On October 21, 2019, the arbitration panel awarded damages in the amount of $18.0 million related to the Company's claims, offset by $2.1 million awarded to Halter for its counterclaims. Terms for the award require payment to be made within 60 days to avoid interest charges. Limited appeal rights are available to the parties.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed market conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and the Company's expectations related to the planned capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds now projected to be delivered during fiscal 2021, as discussed further below. With an average of 35.3 new generation OSVs and 2.1 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 30.7 new generation OSVs and 5.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 34.0 new generation OSVs and 1.0 MPSV projected to be stacked during fiscal 2020, the Company's active fleet for fiscal 2020 is expected to be comprised of an average of 32.0 new generation OSVs and 7.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $40.0 million to $45.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and $161.7 million to $166.7 million for the full-year 2019. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2019, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company plans to reactivate one 265 class OSV during the fourth quarter of 2019 and one MPSV during the first quarter of 2020. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $12.0 million to $14.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019; and $50.4 million to $52.4 million for the full fiscal year 2019.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income tax refunds, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2019 are projected to be $24.3 million, $4.7 million, $18.6 million, $(4.0) million, $19.2 million, 38.0 million and 40.9 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 20.0% and 25.0% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. The Company has worked with the performance bond surety and will select and contract with a shipyard that can finish construction and deliver such vessels. On October 2, 2018, the shipyard filed suit against the Company in the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany in the State of Louisiana. The Company has responded to the suit and has alleged counter-claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend the shipyard's claims and considers them to be without merit. The surety has authorized the Company to select a completion yard and, subject to a reservation of rights, has offered to fund the cost to complete the vessels in excess of their contract price of up to the full amount of the performance bond. However, the surety's offer is not in compliance with the terms of the performance bond as the surety has offered to indemnify the Company for payments it makes in excess of the contract price, rather than to pay the completion yard directly. Consequently, the Company has initiated legal proceedings against the surety as a third-party claim in the shipyard litigation.
As of the date of the contract termination, the two remaining vessels, both of which are domestic 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. These projected delivery dates were subsequently amended, for guidance purposes, to be the second and third quarters of 2020. Due to the continued uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, the Company is now updating its forward guidance for the delivery dates related to these vessels to be the second and third quarters of 2021, respectively. For guidance purposes, the Company has tentatively projected to incur the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021, as set forth below. However, the timing of the remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any further changes in the delivery dates of such vessels.
As noted above, the Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of September 30, 2019. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight MPSVs as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2021. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $2.2 million and $22.9 million are currently expected to be incurred in the fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further changes in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels, as discussed above. From the inception of this program through September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred $1,276.3 million, or 95.6%, of total project costs. The Company does not expect to incur any newbuild project costs during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $35.5 million and $16.1 million for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over 750 and 228 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2019 and 2020, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $136.4 million, which represents a sequential decrease of $6.3 million. The Company also had a restricted cash balance of $56.5 million. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least March 31, 2020. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from currently projected levels, coupled with the refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to fully repay the remaining balance of its 5.875% Senior Notes and its 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from changes in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weakness in capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to honor the bond contract or to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the U.S. government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; disputes with vendors; bureaucratic, administrative, operating or court-imposed barriers that prevent or delay vessels in foreign markets from going or remaining on-hire; administrative, judicial or political barriers to exploration and production activities in Mexico, Brazil or other foreign locations; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities or changes in law or governmental policy in Mexico that restricts or slows the pace of further development of its offshore oilfields; changes in law or governmental policy or judicial action in Mexico affecting the Company's Mexican registration of vessels; administrative or other legal changes in Mexican cabotage laws; other legal or administrative changes in Mexico that adversely impact planned or expected offshore energy development; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the Greater GoM Operating Region and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing any of the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2020 and 2021; the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt permitted under the Company's senior notes indentures and term loan agreements; or an adverse decision in any potential dispute involving the permissibility of the exchange of 2020 senior notes for second-lien term loans due February 2025. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, lack of liquidity in the capital markets or an increase in interest rates, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations, if and when required. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 | Due to net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 4,683, 3,659, 529, 602 and 2,439 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 | The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of September 30, 2019, including the four OSVs acquired from Aries Marine in May 2018. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned OSVs operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. |
4 | In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 | Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 | Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 | Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 | Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 | Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |
10 | Non-GAAP Financial Measure |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear,
| |
• EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels,
| |
• EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and
| |
• EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |
11 | Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. |
12 | The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. |
13 | As of October 30, 2019, the Company's inactive fleet of 35 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: ten 200 class OSVs, twenty-two 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to reactivate one 265 class OSV during the fourth quarter of 2019. |
14 | The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. |
15 | Interest on the Company's first-lien term loans and Senior Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of October 30, 2019. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on the Company's second-lien term loans, 2020 senior notes and 2021 senior notes are at fixed rates of 9.5%, 5.875% and 5.0%, respectively. |
16 | Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. |
17 | Represents the non-cash recognition of the $21.4 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's first-lien term loans and the $21.3 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's second-lien term loans. Such amounts are being deferred and amortized prospectively as yield adjustments to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. |

COVINGTON, La., July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2019 of $(31.9) million, or $(0.84) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(25.1) million, or $(0.67) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018; and a net loss of $(36.6) million, or $(0.97) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. Diluted common shares for the second quarter of 2019 were 37.9 million compared to 37.5 million and 37.8 million for the second quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2019 was $3.6 million compared to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2019. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $56.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 2.7%, from $58.4 million for the second quarter of 2018; and an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.2%, from $54.0 million for the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease in revenues primarily resulted from decreased revenues from the Company's MPSVs partially offset by improved market conditions for the Company's OSVs and the full-quarter contribution from four high-spec OSVs acquired in May 2018. The sequential increase in revenues resulted from increased revenues from the Company's MPSVs and from other non-vessel services. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 37 vessels stacked, comprised of 35 OSVs and two MPSVs. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had an average of 37.8 vessels stacked compared to 42.0 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 38.5 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(24.8) million, or (43.6)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $(15.6) million, or (26.7)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(26.7) million, or (49.4)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2019. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2019 were $18,198 compared to $19,566 for the same period in 2018 and $18,156 for the first quarter of 2019. New generation OSV utilization was 32.3% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 27.0% for the year-ago quarter and 32.5% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 70.4%, 76.0% and 72.1% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2019 were $5,878 compared to $5,283 for the same period in 2018 and $5,901 for the first quarter of 2019.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $5.3 million, or 15.2%, from $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2018; and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.5%, from $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, and $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2019. The sequential increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to higher legal fees recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, or $1.5 million higher than the year-ago quarter and in-line with the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense was in-line with the year-ago and sequential quarter. The year-over-year increase in amortization expense of $1.5 million is primarily due to costs associated with the initial special surveys for vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, costs associated with the drydocking of two vessels that were acquired in the second quarter of 2018 and the amortization of an intangible asset that was included with the acquisition of four OSVs in the second quarter of 2018. Amortization expense is expected to increase temporarily whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert to historical average levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $20.0 million during the second quarter of 2019, which was $3.6 million higher than the same period in 2018 and in-line with the sequential quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to additional interest expense associated with the issuance of additional first-lien and second-lien term loans since June 30, 2018.
Recent Developments
New Senior Credit Facility. On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a new $100.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, or the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic and foreign subsidiaries and contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. The fully-funded Senior Credit Facility is secured by first-priority liens on certain eligible receivables, certain restricted cash amounts and related assets. The Senior Credit Facility is comprised of two tranches that will rebalance each month based on a variable receivables-backed borrowing base. The unrestricted receivables-backed tranche will mature in 2022, whereas the restricted cash-backed tranche will mature in 2025. The receivables-backed tranche may be used, subject to the completion of applicable eligibility review procedures, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the refinancing or repayment of existing debt, subject to, among other things, compliance with certain requirements. The cash-backed tranche may, over time, rebalance to the receivables-backed tranche as eligible receivables increase and may be refinanced over time.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility accrue interest at a floating-rate LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 5.00% for the life of the facility. The Company may, at its option from time to time, prepay loans under either tranche of the Senior Credit Facility. Fifty percent of such loans available under the Senior Credit Facility is subject to a prepayment premium (i) at 103% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs on or prior to June 28, 2020; (ii) at 102% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs on or prior to June 28, 2021; (iii) at 101% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs on or prior to December 28, 2021 and (iv) at 100% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs after December 28, 2021, with such premiums subject to adjustments downward under certain circumstances. The other fifty percent of such loans may be repaid at any time without prepayment penalty.
As of June 30, 2019, the $100.0 million funded under the Senior Credit Facility was presented as restricted cash on the balance sheet, pending completion of certain post-closing undertakings. The Company considers cash as restricted when there are legal or contractual restrictions on its withdrawal or usage. On July 30, 2019, the Company met the post-closing conditions precedent required by the Senior Credit Facility resulting in $44.0 million of restricted cash related to the eligible receivables-backed tranche of the Senior Credit Facility being transferred by the Agent to the Company's unrestricted cash account on July 31, 2019. On July 31, 2019, the Company's restricted cash balance under the Senior Credit Facility was correspondingly reduced to $56.0 million.
The foregoing is only a summary and is not necessarily complete. For further details, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 5, 2019.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed market conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and the Company's expectations related to the planned capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of June 30, 2019, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds projected to be delivered during fiscal 2020, as discussed further below. With an average of 35.5 new generation OSVs and 2.1 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 30.5 new generation OSVs and 5.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 35.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2020, the Company's active fleet for fiscal 2020 is expected to be comprised of an average of 31.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $40.0 million to $45.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, and $160.0 million to $170.0 million for the full-year 2019. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company reactivated one 200 class OSV during the second quarter of 2019. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $12.0 million to $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2019; and $48.0 million to $53.0 million for the full fiscal year 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company modified its expected settlement method for nearly all of its outstanding long-term incentive compensation awards, and such awards are now expected to be settled in shares. These awards were previously accounted for as liabilities as the awards were expected to be settled in cash. On June 20, 2019, the Company received stockholder approval to increase the maximum number of shares available under the Company's long-term incentive compensation plan, and such shares will be used to settle these awards. As a result of this modification, the stock-based compensation expense will be fixed in future periods and the Company's G&A expense will not vary quarterly due to "mark-to-market" adjustments based on its stock price as required by GAAP on cash-settled awards.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2019 are projected to be $24.6 million, $4.4 million, $16.3 million, $0.5 million, $24.7 million, 38.0 million and 43.1 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 20.0% and 25.0% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. The Company has worked with the performance bond surety and will select and contract with a shipyard that can finish construction and deliver such vessels. On October 2, 2018, the shipyard filed suit against the Company in the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany in the State of Louisiana. The Company has responded to the suit and has alleged counter-claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend the shipyard's claims and considers them to be without merit. The surety has authorized the Company to select a completion yard and, subject to a reservation of rights, has offered to fund the cost to complete the vessels in excess of their contract price of up to the full amount of the performance bond. However, the surety's offer is not in compliance with the terms of the performance bond as the surety has offered to indemnify the Company for payments it makes in excess of the contract price, rather than to pay the completion yard directly. Consequently, the Company is evaluating its legal options in light of the surety's offer.
As of the date of the contract termination, the two remaining vessels, both of which are domestic 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, in February 2019, the Company changed its forward guidance for the delivery dates related to these vessels to be the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. However, the timing of the remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any further delays in the delivery dates of such vessels. The Company will not update its prior guidance related to the delivery dates and the timing of the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, as set forth below, until it has more reliable information upon which to base any further changes.
As noted above, the Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of June 30, 2019. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $22.7 million and $38.2 million are currently expected to be incurred in the fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further delays in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels, as discussed above. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2019, the Company has incurred $1,276.3 million, or 95.6%, of total project costs. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $9.4 million during the third quarter of 2019.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $35.0 million and $21.0 million for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over 544 and 321 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2019 and 2020, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $142.7 million, which represents a sequential decrease of $31.9 million. As discussed above, as of June 30, 2019, the $100.0 million of new money funded under the Senior Credit Facility was presented as restricted cash on the balance sheet. On July 31, 2019, the amount of the restricted cash tranche under the Senior Credit Facility was reduced from $100.0 million to $56.0 million and the amount of the unrestricted (receivables-backed) tranche under the Senior Credit Facility was increased from zero to $44.0 million, resulting in a corresponding increase in the Company's unrestricted cash balance. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least March 31, 2020. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from currently projected levels, coupled with the refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to fully repay the remaining balance of its 5.875% Senior Notes and its 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from changes in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the U.S. government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; disputes with vendors; bureaucratic, administrative, operating or court-imposed barriers that prevent or delay vessels in foreign markets from going or remaining on-hire; administrative, judicial or political barriers to exploration and production activities in Mexico, Brazil or other foreign locations; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities or changes in law or governmental policy in Mexico that restricts or slows the pace of further development of its offshore oilfields; changes in law or governmental policy or judicial action in Mexico affecting the Company's Mexican registration of vessels there; administrative or other legal changes in Mexican cabotage laws; other legal or administrative changes in Mexico that adversely impact planned or expected offshore energy development; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing any of the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2020 and 2021; the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt permitted under the Company's senior notes indentures and term loan agreements; or an adverse decision in any potential dispute involving the permissibility of the exchange of 2020 senior notes for second-lien term loans due February 2025. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, lack of liquidity in the capital markets or an increase in interest rates, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations, if and when required. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 | Due to net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 2,439, 2,195, 529, 639 and 404 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 | The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of June 30, 2019, including the four OSVs acquired from Aries Marine in May 2018. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned OSVs operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. |
4 | In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 | Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 | Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 | Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 | Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 | Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |
10 | Non-GAAP Financial Measure |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |
11 | Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. |
12 | The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. |
13 | As of July 31, 2019, the Company's inactive fleet of 35 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: ten 200 class OSVs, twenty-two 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSVs. |
14 | The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. |
15 | Interest on the Company's first-lien term loans and Senior Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of July 31, 2019. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on the Company's second-lien term loans, 2019 convertible senior notes, 2020 senior notes and 2021 senior notes are at fixed rates of 9.5%, 1.5%, 5.875% and 5.0%, respectively. |
16 | Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. |
17 | Represents the non-cash recognition of the $21.4 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's first-lien term loans and the $21.3 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's second-lien term loans. Such amounts are being deferred and amortized prospectively as yield adjustments to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. |
18 | Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) ("the Company") announced today that on June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a new $100 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The fully-funded Senior Credit Facility is secured by first priority liens on certain eligible receivables, certain restricted cash amounts and related assets.
The Senior Credit Facility enhances the Company's financial flexibility and is comprised of two tranches that will rebalance each month based on the variable eligible receivables-backed borrowing base. The unrestricted receivables-backed tranche will mature in 2022, and the restricted cash-backed tranche will mature in 2025. The receivables-backed tranche may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the repayment or refinancing of existing debt, subject to, among other things, compliance with certain requirements. The cash-backed tranche may, over time, rebalance to the receivables-backed tranche as eligible receivables increase and may be refinanced over time.
Loans under the Senior Credit Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a floating-rate spread of 5.00% for the life of the facility.
The Administrative and Collateral Agent of the Senior Credit Facility is CIT Northbridge Credit LLC. The Company's exclusive financial advisor in connection with the transaction and the sole lead arranger of the facility was Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and the Company's legal advisors were Latham & Watkins LLP and Winstead PC.
The foregoing is only a summary, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified by the full text of the Senior Credit Agreement and the Guaranty and Security Agreement, which were filed as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K related to this matter on Friday, July 5, 2019.

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about the Company's plans and intentions with regard to the Senior Credit Facility and potential uses of proceeds. These statements are based on the Company's current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that the expectations will prove to be correct, including whether and to what extent the Company will arrange any additional tranches of debt facilities or whether it will be able to gain full access to the restricted cash-backed tranche or refinance the Senior Credit Facility on more favorable terms prior to its scheduled maturity.

COVINGTON, La., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the first quarter of 2019 of $(36.6) million, or $(0.97) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(38.7) million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018; and a net loss of $(24.2) million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Included in the Company's fourth quarter 2018 results was a $7.1 million decrease in G&A expense due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled stock-based incentive compensation awards to reflect the decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended December 31, 2018. Excluding the net impact of this reconciling item, net loss and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2018 would have been $(29.6) million and $(0.79) per diluted share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the first quarter of 2019 were 37.8 million compared to 37.3 million and 37.6 million for the first quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.5 million compared to $(7.2) million for the first quarter of 2018 and $12.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the "mark-to-market" adjustments to G&A expense discussed above, fourth quarter 2018 EBITDA would have been $4.9 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $54.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $12.4 million, or 29.9%, from $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2018; and an increase of $0.1 million from $53.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in revenues primarily resulted from improved market conditions for the Company's OSVs and the contribution from four high-spec OSVs acquired in May 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 36 OSVs and two MPSVs stacked. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had an average of 38.5 vessels stacked compared to 44.0 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 39.0 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(26.7) million, or (49.4)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $(33.9) million, or (81.4)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(15.5) million, or (28.8)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the aforementioned $7.1 million "mark-to-market" adjustment to G&A expense, the fourth quarter 2018 operating loss would have been $(22.6) million, or (41.9)% of revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2019 were $18,156 compared to $17,985 for the same period in 2018 and $19,272 for the fourth quarter of 2018. New generation OSV utilization was 32.5% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 20.7% for the year-ago quarter and 30.8% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 72.1%, 71.3% and 71.7% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2019 were $5,901 compared to $3,723 for the same period in 2018 and $5,936 for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $4.4 million, or 12.2%, from $36.0 million for the first quarter of 2018; and an increase of $1.8 million, or 4.7%, from $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, and $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The sequential increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to higher long-term and short-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation expense was lower during the fourth quarter of 2018 due to a $7.1 million "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company's 10-day trailing average stock price of $1.41 as of March 31, 2019 was roughly in-line with the average stock price of $1.54 as of year-end, resulting in a sequential stock-based compensation adjustment of only $(0.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, or $1.8 million higher than the year-ago quarter and $0.8 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense increased by $0.2 million and amortization expense increased by $1.6 million from the year-ago quarter. The increase in amortization expense is primarily related to the amortization of a commercial-related intangible asset associated with the May 2018 acquisition of four high-spec OSVs from Aries Marine Corporation. Amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 and in fiscal 2020 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special surveys. The Company expects amortization expense to increase further whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert to historical average levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $19.7 million during the first quarter of 2019, which was $5.8 million higher than the same period in 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a higher blended-average cash coupon and an increase in the Company's outstanding debt balance since March 31, 2018. Also, the Company did not capitalize any construction period interest during the first quarter of 2019 compared to capitalizing $2.3 million, or roughly 14%, of its total interest costs for the year-ago quarter.
Recent Developments
Liability Management Transactions. On February 7, 2019, the Company closed on a private exchange offer of $131.6 million in face value of its 5.875% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") that were tendered in exchange for $111.9 million in second-lien term loans due 2025, which are collateralized by a second-priority security interest in 48 domestic high-spec OSVs and MPSVs (including two pending MPSV newbuilds) and seven foreign high-spec OSVs, and associated personalty, as well as by certain deposit and securities accounts.
On March 1, 2019, the Company borrowed an additional $50.0 million of first-lien term loans under its First Lien Term Loan Agreement, comprised of $30.1 million of loans for new cash and $19.9 million of loans for exchanged notes. Approximately $21.0 million in face value of its 1.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") were exchanged in a privately negotiated debt-for-debt exchange for such $19.9 million of additional first-lien term loans.
In addition, on March 5, 2019, the Company effected a privately negotiated exchange of $11.0 million in face value of its 2020 Notes for an incremental $9.4 million of second-lien term loans under its Second Lien Term Loan Agreement.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, these debt-for-debt exchanges will be accounted for as debt modifications, requiring the Company to defer the $1.0 million gain on the first-lien term loans and the $21.4 million gain on the second-lien term loans. Such gain on the exchange of first-lien term loans was reduced by $0.4 million of original issue discount that was associated with the 2019 Notes. These net credits will be amortized prospectively as yield adjustments to interest expense over the life of the first-lien and second-lien term loans.
In a series of private transactions, the Company eliminated approximately $73.9 million in principal amount of 2019 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $67.2 million, consisting of approximately $47.3 million of cash repurchases and the debt-for-debt exchange of approximately $19.9 million of incremental first-lien term loans discussed above, plus payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees and expenses.
After giving effect to these recent transactions, the aggregate balance outstanding under the Company's (i) first-lien term loans due 2023 increased from $300.0 million to $350.0 million; (ii) second-lien term loans due 2025 in the amount of $121.2 million were incurred; (iii) 2019 Notes decreased from $99.6 million to $25.8 million; and (iv) 2020 Notes decreased from $366.9 million to $224.3 million.
From June 15, 2017 through March 31, 2019, the Company has now refinanced approximately 91% and 40% of the face value of its 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes that were outstanding on March 31, 2017, respectively. The cumulative effect of these liability management efforts to-date has resulted in the aggregate refinancing of nearly $425 million in near-term debt, including $87 million of discount capture.
The foregoing is only a summary and is not necessarily complete. For further details, please see the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 8, 2019, and March 6, 2019, respectively.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed market conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and the Company's expectations related to the planned capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds projected to be delivered during fiscal 2020, as discussed further below. With an average of 36.1 new generation OSVs and 2.1 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 29.9 new generation OSVs and 5.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 36.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2020, the Company's active fleet for fiscal 2020 is expected to be comprised of an average of 30.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $40.0 million to $45.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, and $155.0 million to $170.0 million for the full-year 2019. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2019, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company reactivated one 240 class OSV and one MPSV during the first quarter of 2019. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2019; and $45.0 million to $50.0 million for the full fiscal year 2019, inclusive of $3.6 million of estimated annual stock-based compensation expense valued at the Company's 10-day trailing stock price of $1.41 as of March 31, 2019. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price, which can be highly volatile, will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end. In its recently filed Proxy statement, the Company is seeking stockholder approval for additional shares under its long-term incentive compensation plan that would allow, if approved, settlement of currently outstanding awards with shares of common stock and, thus, avoid future volatility in G&A expense caused by mark-to-market requirements of GAAP for cash-settled awards, as well as the preservation of cash liquidity for more strategic purposes, including debt retirement. See the Company's Proxy statement for further details.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2019 are projected to be $24.7 million, $3.5 million, $19.4 million, $1.3 million, $17.3 million, 37.9 million and 38.0 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 15.0% and 20.0% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. As of the date of the contract termination, the two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, these vessels are currently projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. The Company has conservatively projected to incur the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, as set forth below. On October 2, 2018, the shipyard filed suit for wrongful termination against the Company in the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany in the State of Louisiana. In December 2018, the Company responded to the lawsuit and asserted its own claims. The Company has responded to the suit and has alleged counter-claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend the shipyard's claims and considers them to be without merit. As previously reported, the Company intends to work with the performance bond surety to select and contract with a mutually acceptable shipyard that can finish construction and deliver such vessels.
As noted above, the Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of March 31, 2019. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $22.7 million and $38.2 million are currently expected to be incurred in the fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further delays in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels, as discussed above. From the inception of this program through March 31, 2019, the Company has incurred $1,274.1 million, or 95.4%, of total project costs. The Company does not expect to incur any newbuild project costs during the second quarter of 2019.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $36.5 million and $21.3 million for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over 473 and 337 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2019 and 2020, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $174.6 million, which represents a sequential decrease of $50.3 million. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least March 31, 2020. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from currently projected levels, coupled with the refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to fully repay the remaining balance of its 5.875% Senior Notes and its 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from changes in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; disputes with vendors; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative or political barriers to exploration and production activities in Mexico, Brazil or other foreign locations; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities or changes in law or policy in Mexico that restricts further development of its offshore oilfields; changes in law or policy in Mexico affecting the Company's Mexican registration of vessels there; administrative or legal changes in Mexican cabotage laws; other legal or administrative changes in Mexico that adversely impact planned or expected offshore energy development; age or other restrictions imposed on the Company's vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing any of the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2020 and 2021; the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt permitted under the Company's senior notes indentures and term loan agreements; or an adverse decision in any potential dispute involving the permissibility of the exchange of 2020 senior notes for second-lien term loans due February 2025. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, lack of liquidity in the capital markets or an increase in interest rates, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations, if and when required. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 | Due to net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019, three months ended March 31, 2018, and the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 404, 750, and 529 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 | The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of March 31, 2019, including the four OSVs acquired from Aries Marine in May 2018. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. |
4 | In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 | Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 | Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 | Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 | Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 | Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |
10 | Non-GAAP Financial Measure |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |
11 | Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. |
12 | The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. |
13 | As of May 1, 2019, the Company's inactive fleet of 36 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: eleven 200 class OSVs, twenty-two 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSVs. |
14 | The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. |
15 | The Company's forward guidance for general and administrative expense includes an estimate of stock-based compensation expense for outstanding share-settled and cash-settled awards. Such expense for outstanding cash-settled awards is re-measured quarterly based on either a 10-day trailing average stock price prior to each quarter-end or a Black-Scholes value at quarter-end. As of March 31, 2019, the 10-day trailing average stock price was $1.41 per share and the Black-Scholes value was $0.97. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price can be highly volatile and will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end. |
16 | Interest on the Company's first-lien term loans is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of May 1, 2019. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on the Company's second-lien term loans, 2019 convertible senior notes, 2020 senior notes and 2021 senior notes are at fixed rates of 9.5%, 1.5%, 5.875% and 5.0%, respectively. |
17 | Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. |
18 | Represents the non-cash recognition of the $21.4 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's first-lien term loans and the $21.3 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's second-lien term loans. Such amounts are being deferred and amortized prospectively as yield adjustments to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. |
19 | Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) (the "Company") announced today that, on March 1, 2019, it borrowed an additional $50.0 million of first-lien term loans under its First Lien Term Loan Agreement, comprised of $30.1 million in cash of new financing and $19.9 million of exchanged loans. Approximately $21.0 million in face value of its 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") were exchanged in a privately negotiated debt-for-debt exchange for such $19.9 million of additional first-lien term loans. In addition, on March 5, 2019, the Company effected a privately negotiated exchange of $11.0 million in face value of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") for an additional $9,350,000 of second-lien term loans under its Second Lien Term Loan Agreement.
In a series of recent private transactions, the Company eliminated approximately $73.9 million in principal amount of 2019 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $67.2 million, consisting of approximately $47.3 million of cash repurchases and a debt-for-debt exchange of approximately $19.9 million of incremental first-lien term loans, plus payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees and expenses.
After giving effect to the first-lien term loan expansion and the note repurchases and exchanges, the aggregate balance outstanding under the Company's (w) first-lien term loans due 2023 have increased from $300.0 million to $350.0 million; (x) second-lien term loans due 2025 have increased from $111.9 million to $121.2 million; (y) 2019 Notes have decreased from $99.6 million to $25.8 million; and (z) 2020 Notes have decreased from $235.1 million to $224.3 million.
When combined with the Company's February 7, 2019 private debt-for-debt exchange of $131.6 million of its 2020 senior notes for $111.9 million of second-lien term loans, the Company has now refinanced approximately 73% and 39% of the face value of its 2019 convertible notes and 2020 senior notes that were outstanding on December 31, 2018, respectively. The cumulative effect of these actions resulted in extinguishing or refinancing approximately $216.5 million in near-term debt, while using only $19.5 million of cash, excluding legal and other advisory fees.
For further details, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 1, 2019 filed with the SEC today, March 6, 2019.
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. acted as Exclusive Financial Advisor on the privately negotiated exchange and follow-on transactions.

COVINGTON, La., Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $(24.2) million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, compared to net income of $93.8 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017; and a net loss of $(31.2) million, or $(0.83) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018. Included in the Company's fourth quarter 2018 results is a $7.1 million decrease in G&A expense due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended December 31, 2018. Excluding the net impact of this reconciling item, net loss and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2018 would have been $(29.6) million and $(0.79) per diluted share, respectively. Included in the Company's fourth quarter 2017 results is a $125.2 million tax benefit related to U.S. tax reform legislation that was enacted in December 2017, partially offset by $14.2 million of tax expense due to valuation allowances related to tax credits that may expire prior to being utilized and a $1.7 million non-cash write-off of goodwill. Excluding the net impact of these reconciling items, net loss and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2017 would have been $(16.1) million and $(0.44) per diluted share, respectively. Included in the Company's third quarter 2018 results is a $2.2 million increase in G&A expense due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the net impact of this item, net loss and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2018 would have been $(29.4) million, and $(0.78) per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the fourth quarter of 2018 were 37.6 million compared to 37.9 million and 37.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2018, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $12.0 million compared to $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the "mark-to-market" adjustments to G&A expense discussed above, fourth quarter 2018 and third quarter 2018 EBITDA would have been $4.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $53.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 4.1%, from $56.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017; and a decrease of $4.6 million, or 7.9%, from $58.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. The year-over-year and sequential decrease in revenues primarily resulted from a decrease in effective MPSV dayrates due to soft market conditions for such vessels, partially offset by improved market conditions for the Company's OSVs. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 37 OSVs and three MPSVs stacked. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company had an average of 39.0 vessels stacked compared to 43.5 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 40.7 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(15.5) million, or (28.8)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(14.3) million, or (25.4)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(22.4) million, or (38.3)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the "mark-to-market" adjustment reflected in G&A expense discussed above, fourth quarter 2018 operating loss would have been $(22.6) million, or (41.9)% of revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $19,272 compared to $18,964 for the same period in 2017 and $19,446 for the third quarter of 2018. New generation OSV utilization was 30.8% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 24.1% for the year-ago quarter and 26.1% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 71.7%, 81.0% and 65.4% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $5,936 compared to $4,570 for the same period in 2017 and $5,075 for the third quarter of 2018.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of $7.4 million, or 23.7%, from $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017; and an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.0%, from $38.2 million for the third quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended December 31, 2018.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, and $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2018. The year-over-year and sequential decrease in G&A expense was primarily attributable to downward adjustments to long-term incentive compensation and short-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation was lower due to a $7.1 million "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $27.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, or $0.8 million lower than the year-ago quarter and in-line with the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense increased by $0.1 million and amortization expense decreased by $0.9 million from the year-ago quarter. The decrease in amortization expense is primarily related to the non-cash write-off of goodwill in the prior-year quarter, partially offset by increased amortization of a commercial-related intangible asset associated with the May 2018 acquisition of four high-spec OSVs from Aries Marine Corporation. Amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 and in fiscal 2020 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special surveys. The Company expects amortization expense to increase whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $16.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, which was $4.5 million higher than the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the Company not capitalizing any construction period interest during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to capitalizing $2.6 million, or roughly 18%, of its total interest costs for the year-ago quarter.
Twelve Month Results
Revenues for fiscal 2018 increased 11.0% to $212.4 million compared to $191.4 million for fiscal 2017. Operating loss was $(87.4) million, or (41.1)% of revenues, for fiscal 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(88.7) million, or (46.3)% of revenues, for the prior-year. Net loss for fiscal 2018 decreased $146.5 million to a net loss of $(119.1) million, or $(3.18) per diluted share, compared to a net income of $27.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for fiscal 2017. EBITDA for fiscal 2018 decreased 44.2% to $21.3 million compared to $38.2 million for fiscal 2017. Included in the Company's results for fiscal 2017 was (i) a net $111.0 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter primarily related to the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017, (ii) a $15.5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, and (iii) a $1.7 million charge for the write-off of goodwill. Excluding the impact of these reconciling items, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for fiscal 2017 would have been $(91.9) million, $(2.49) per share and $22.8 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in vessel revenues is attributable to improved market conditions for the Company's vessels and to four OSVs added to the Company's fleet during the second quarter of 2018. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company had an average of 41.4 vessels stacked compared to 43.6 vessels stacked in the prior-year.
Recent Developments
2020 Notes Exchange Offer. On February 7, 2019, the Company closed on a private exchange offer of $131.6 million of its 5.875% senior notes due 2020 that were tendered in exchange for $111.9 million in second-lien term loans due 2025 (the "Transaction"). The second-lien term loans are collateralized by a second-priority security interest in 48 domestic high-spec OSVs and MPSVs (including two pending MPSV newbuilds) and seven foreign high-spec OSVs, and associated personalty, as well as by certain deposit and securities accounts. Subject to the foregoing and certain limitations, the Company's other assets that do not arise from, are not required for use in connection with, and are not necessary for, the operation of mortgaged vessels are unencumbered by liens, including 10 low-spec domestic OSVs and 11 foreign-flagged vessels. Borrowings under the second-lien term loans accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.50% per annum. The second-lien term loans may be prepaid (i) at 100% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs on or prior to August 7, 2019; (ii) at 101% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs after August 7, 2019 but on or prior to August 7, 2020 and (iii) at 100% of the principal amount repaid if such repayment occurs after August 7, 2020. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, this debt-for-debt exchange will be accounted for as a debt modification, requiring the Company to defer the $19.7 million gain, which will be amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense over the life of the second-lien term loans. Also, in accordance with such guidance the Company will record a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 related to third-party fees and expenses related to this exchange. The foregoing is only a summary, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified by the full text of the Second-Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Second-Lien Guaranty and Collateral Agreement and the Second-Lien Intercreditor Agreement, which were filed as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2019. Prior to closing the Transaction, the Company was notified by counsel to an ad hoc committee of certain of its 2020 and 2021 senior noteholders (the "Ad Hoc Committee") that the Ad Hoc Committee did not believe the Transaction was permissible under the governing debt instruments. Management believes that the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and, on advice of counsel, concluded that the Transaction was permissible. On January 10, 2019, the Company issued a Current Report on Form 8-K that in part addressed the issue raised by the Ad Hoc Committee. See Q.2 and A.2 of the "Frequently Asked Questions" in that Form 8-K.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and the Company's expectations related to the planned capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the four-vessel OSV acquisition that was completed in May 2018 and two MPSV newbuilds projected to be delivered during fiscal 2020, as discussed further below. With an average of 36.1 new generation OSVs and 2.1 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 29.9 new generation OSVs and 5.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 36.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2020, the Company's active fleet for fiscal 2020 is expected to be comprised of an average of 30.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $36.0 million to $41.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, and $155.0 million to $170.0 million for the full-year 2019. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company reactivated one 240 class OSV and one MPSV during the first quarter of 2019. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $11.5 million to $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, and $45.0 million to $50.0 million for the full fiscal year 2019, inclusive of $5.8 million of stock-based compensation expense valued at our year-end 2018 10-day trailing stock price of $1.54. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price, which can be highly volatile, will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net interest expense, cash income tax refunds, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2019 are projected to be $24.7 million, $3.6 million, $2.5 million, $18.3 million, $(0.2) million, $21.4 million, 37.8 million and 38.0 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 15.0% and 20.0% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. As of the date of termination, these two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, these vessels are currently projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. The Company has conservatively projected to incur the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, as set forth below. On October 2, 2018, the shipyard filed suit for wrongful termination against the Company in the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany in the State of Louisiana. In December 2018, the Company responded to the lawsuit and asserted its own claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position and considers the shipyard's claims to be without merit. As previously reported, the Company remains in discussions with the surety of the shipyard contracts to facilitate the completion of the construction of the vessels at a completion yard under the surety's performance bonds.
The Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of December 31, 2018. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $22.7 million and $38.2 million are currently expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further delays in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels, as discussed above. From the inception of this program through December 31, 2018, the Company has incurred $1,274.1 million, or 95.4%, of total project costs. The Company does not expect to incur any newbuild project costs during the first quarter of 2019.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $36.0 million and $21.6 million for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over 449 and 337 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2019 and 2020, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $224.9 million, which represents a sequential increase of $116.8 million, and reflects the year-end draw of the remaining $136.7 million available under the Company's first-lien term loan agreement. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least March 31, 2020. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels, coupled with the refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the remaining balance of its 5.875% Senior Notes and its 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from changes in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative or political barriers to exploration and production activities in Mexico or Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities or changes in law or policy in Mexico that restricts further development of its offshore oilfields; age or other restrictions imposed on the Company's vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing any of the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; changes in law or policy in Mexico affecting the Company's Mexican registration of vessels there; administrative or legal changes in Mexican cabotage laws; other changes in Mexico as a result of the recent Presidential election there; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021; the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt permitted under the Company's senior notes indentures and term loan agreements; or an adverse decision in any potential dispute involving the permissibility of the recent exchange of 2020 senior notes for second-lien term loans due February 2025. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, lack of liquidity in the capital markets or an increase in interest rates, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's current or future debt facilities, if and when required. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 | Due to net losses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 529, 583, and 529 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the company had 185 anti-dilutive stock options. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of the options is greater than the average market price of the common stock for the period or when the results from operations are a net loss. As of December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 | The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of December 31, 2018, including the four OSVs acquired from Aries Marine in May 2018. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. | |
4 | In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 | Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 | Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 | Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 | Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 | Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 | Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• | EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• | EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• | EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• | EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 | Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |
12 | The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |
13 | As of February 13, 2019, the Company's inactive fleet of 36 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: eleven 200 class OSVs, twenty-two 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSVs. | |
14 | The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | |
15 | The Company's forward guidance for general and administrative expense includes an estimate of stock-based compensation expense for outstanding equity-settled and cash-settled awards. Such expense for outstanding cash-settled awards is re-measured quarterly based on a 10-day trailing average stock price prior to each quarter-end. As of December 31, 2018, the 10-day trailing average stock price was $1.54 per share. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price can be highly volatile and will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end. | |
16 | Interest on the Company's first-lien term loan is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of February 13, 2019. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on all of the Company's other funded debt is fixed at rates set forth in the indentures governing such notes. | |
17 | Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | |
18 | Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's first-lien term loan and the $19.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's second-lien term loan. Such amounts are being deferred and amortized prospectively as yield adjustments to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. | |
19 | Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) (the "Company") announced today the early tender results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2019 (the "Early Tender Time") of the previously announced offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") certain of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") for new Second Lien Term Loans due 2025 (the "Term Loans") of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC (the "Co-Borrower"), and a solicitation of consents ("Consents") to certain proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") with respect to the Notes (the "Consent Solicitation").
According to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Information and Exchange Agent in connection with the Exchange Offer, as of the Early Tender Time, more than one-third of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and had consented to the Proposed Amendments to the indenture governing the Notes. The Total Consideration (which is equal to the Clearing Price) payable for Notes validly tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer was determined pursuant to a modified "Dutch Auction" as described in the Offer to Exchange Statement. Based on the Bid Amounts at which Notes were validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time, the Clearing Price determined by the Company for the Notes is $850 in principal amount of Term Loans per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer at or prior to the Expiration Time (including Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time, which will have priority over any Notes tendered after January 18, 2019).
The Company also announced today that it is amending certain terms of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. The amended terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation are set forth in Supplement No. 1 (the "Offer to Exchange Supplement") to the confidential offer to exchange and consent solicitation statement, dated January 7, 2019 and a related letter of transmittal (together, the "Offer to Exchange Statement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Exchange Statement, as supplemented by the Offer to Exchange Supplement.
As set forth in the Offer to Exchange Supplement, the Company:
As previously announced, the Expiration Time for the Exchange Offer is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange after the Early Tender Time will be deemed to have been tendered with a Bid Amount equal to the Clearing Price or the Increased Total Consideration, as applicable, and (ii) Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will have priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time. Accordingly, all Notes validly tendered as of the Early Tender Time will be exchanged at the Clearing Price or the Increased Total Consideration, as applicable, before any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time are accepted for exchange.
Holders of Notes may not tender Notes without delivering the related Consents to the Proposed Amendments and Holders that tender Notes prior to the Expiration Time will be deemed automatically to have delivered a Consent to the Proposed Amendments. Notwithstanding the elimination of the Proposed Amendment Requisite Consent Condition, if the Company receives Consents by Holders representing not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to adopt the Proposed Amendments related to the elimination of substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions contained in the Indenture governing the Notes, the Company, the guarantors party to the Indenture and the Trustee will enter into a supplemental Indenture to such Indenture, to give effect to the Proposed Amendments.
The Company reserves the right to waive or modify any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer, in its absolute and sole discretion.
Except as set forth herein and in the Offer to Exchange Supplement, the complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer remain the same as set forth and detailed in the Offer to Exchange Statement, copies of which may be obtained by Holders of the Notes by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information and exchange agent in connection with the Exchange Offer, at (866) 470-3700 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or by visiting the Information and Exchange Agent's website at http://gbsc-usa.com/Hornbeck.

COVINGTON, La., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) (the "Company") announced today that it has commenced a private offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $200 million aggregate principal amount (the "Tender Cap") of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") for new Second Lien Term Loans due 2025 (the "Term Loans") of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC (the "Co-Borrower"), upon the terms and conditions set forth in a confidential offer to exchange and consent solicitation statement dated January 7, 2019 and a related letter of transmittal (together, the "Offer to Exchange Statement").
In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Statement, the Company is soliciting consents ("Consents") from holders of the Notes ("Holders") to certain proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indenture governing the Notes, dated as of March 16, 2012 (the "Indenture"), which will become effective with respect to the Indenture if Consents by Holders representing not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes are received to adopt the Proposed Amendments (the "Proposed Amendment Requisite Consents").
A summary of the Exchange Offer is outlined below:
Notes to be | CUSIP | Outstanding | Tender Cap | Early Participation | Total Consideration |
5.875% Senior | 440543AL0 | $366,942,000 | $200,000,000 | $20 in Term Loans | $760 to $850 in Term Loans |
(1) | Aggregate principal amount outstanding as of January 7, 2019. |
(2) | The Total Consideration includes the Early Participation Premium, which consists of $20 in Term Loans per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in excess of the amount of $740 to $830 in Term Loans per $1,000 principal amount of Notes included in the Exchange Consideration (as defined below). |
(3) | The Total Consideration or Exchange Consideration, as applicable, will be paid for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange. In addition, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Notes exchanged in the Exchange Offer, up to, but not including, the Settlement Date. |
(4) | Each Term Loan dollar figure represents the principal amount of such Term Loan being exchanged for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. |
The Company is offering to exchange Notes up to the Tender Cap, in accordance with the modified Dutch Auction procedures, described below and as more fully set forth in the Offer to Exchange Statement.
The Term Loans will be made pursuant to a second lien term loan agreement (the "Second Lien Term Loan Agreement") to be entered into by the Company, the Co-Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, respectively, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Term Loans will have a maturity date of the sixth anniversary of the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Exchange Statement) and will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum of 9.50%. The Term Loans will be guaranteed by certain of the Company's present and future domestic subsidiaries and secured on a second lien basis, subject to certain permitted liens, by a second-priority interest in the collateral securing the Company's existing $300 million first-lien delayed-draw term loan facility, dated June 15, 2017, which was fully drawn as of December 31, 2018.
The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2019, unless extended by the Company (the "Expiration Time"). For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2019 (as it may be extended, the "Early Tender Time") and accepted for exchange by the Company, Holders will be eligible to receive the "Total Consideration" set forth in the table above, which includes an early participation premium of $20 in principal amount of the Term Loans per $1,000 of Notes. For each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for exchange by the Company, Holders will be eligible to receive only the "Exchange Consideration" set forth in the footnotes to the table above.
Promptly following the Early Tender Time (the "Early Acceptance Date"), whether or not the Exchange Offer is fully subscribed, the Company will determine the Total Consideration for the Notes and intends to accept for exchange Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, subject to the Tender Cap, proration and the other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer.
If the Exchange Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, the Company intends to accept for exchange promptly following the Expiration Time (the "Final Acceptance Date") any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time, subject to the Tender Cap, proration and the other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer. The exchange of consideration for such Notes, if any, will be made on or promptly following the Final Acceptance Date (such date of exchange, the "Settlement Date") and will be equal to the Exchange Consideration. The "Exchange Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be equal to the Total Consideration (which will be equal to the Clearing Price (as defined below)) less the Early Participation Premium.
All accrued and unpaid interest on Notes exchanged in the Exchange Offer from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Settlement Date will be paid in cash. Interest on the Term Loans will accrue from the Settlement Date.
The Exchange Offer is conditioned on a minimum of a majority (or greater than $183,838,000) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes being validly tendered and accepted for exchange by the Company in the Exchange Offer (the "Minimum Tender Condition"). The consummation of the Exchange Offer is also subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set out in the Offer to Exchange Statement, including the receipt of the Proposed Amendment Requisite Consents. The Company reserves the right to waive or modify any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the Minimum Tender Condition and receipt of the Proposed Amendment Requisite Consents, in its absolute and sole discretion. The consummation of the Exchange Offer is also subject to the Company's right to amend the Exchange Offer prior to the Expiration Time. Tenders may not be withdrawn.
The Exchange Offer is being conducted as a modified "Dutch Auction." Holders who elect to participate must specify the principal amount of Term Loans they would be willing to accept in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes they choose to tender in the Exchange Offer. The principal amount of Term Loans that Holders specify for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes must be in increments of $5.00, and must be within a range of $760.00 (the "Minimum Bid Amount") to $850.00 (the "Maximum Bid Amount") per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Holders who tender their Notes but do not specify a Bid Amount will be deemed to have specified a Bid Amount equal to the Minimum Bid Amount in respect of Notes tendered and to accept the Clearing Price (as described below) determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. Tenders of Notes for which a price is specified below the Minimum Bid Amount or in excess of the Maximum Bid Amount will not be accepted and will not be used for the purpose of determining the Clearing Price. Tenders of Notes not submitted in whole increments of $5.00 will be rounded down to the nearest $5.00 increment.
Subject to the Tender Cap, proration and the other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, the Company anticipates accepting Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer in the order of the lowest to the highest Bid Amounts specified by tendering Holders (in increments of $5.00), and on the Early Acceptance Date will select the single lowest Bid Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Clearing Price") to enable the Company to exchange the principal amount of Notes equal to the Tender Cap (or, if Notes in a principal amount less than the Tender Cap are validly tendered, all Notes so tendered). The Bid Amount at which Notes were validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Time (which includes the Early Participation Premium) will be used for the purpose of determining the Clearing Price and proration, as described below, on the Early Acceptance Date.
The Company will exchange the same consideration (subject to adjustment, as described below) for all Notes validly tendered at or below the Clearing Price and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Consideration exchanged for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be reduced by the Early Participation Premium. In addition, Holders whose Notes are validly tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will receive a cash payment representing the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date for such Notes preceding the Settlement Date (October 1, 2018) to, but not including, the Settlement Date.
If at the Early Tender Time the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered at or below the Clearing Price exceeds the Tender Cap, then on the Early Acceptance Date, the Company anticipates accepting for exchange (subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer), first, Notes validly tendered at Bid Amounts (in increments of $5.00) below the Clearing Price and, thereafter, Notes validly tendered at the Clearing Price on a prorated basis according to the principal amount of such Notes such that the Company exchanges an aggregate principal amount of Notes up to the Tender Cap. All Notes not accepted on the Early Acceptance Date as a result of proration and all Notes tendered at Bid Amounts in excess of the Clearing Price will be rejected from the Exchange Offer and will be returned to tendering Holders.
Any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time may be accepted subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer in the event that the aggregate principal amount of all Notes validly tendered as of the Expiration Time would exceed the Tender Cap. Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will have priority over Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time.
In order for a Holder of the Notes (or its designee) to receive Term Loans, such Holder of the Notes must provide an executed signature page to the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement and meet certain administrative requirements (including completing an administrative questionnaire and IRS Form W-9 or the applicable Form W-8). Holders are encouraged to contact the information and exchange agent as early as possible (even before tendering Notes) using the email address on the back cover of the Offer to Exchange Statement to furnish such documentation to the information and exchange agent.
The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, as well as the terms of the Term Loans, are described in the Offer to Exchange Statement, copies of which may be obtained by Holders of the Notes by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information and exchange agent in connection with the Exchange Offer, at (866) 470-3700 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or by visiting the information and exchange agent's website at http://gbsc-usa.com/Hornbeck.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to exchange, nor a solicitation of an offer to exchange any security. The Exchange Offer is being made only by the Offer to Exchange Statement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
Subject to certain restrictions on the Company designed to protect Holders that participate in the Exchange Offer from being treated less favorably than non-participating Holders or holders of the Company's 5.000% Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") in any subsequent exchanges of Notes or 2021 Notes during the 90 days following the Effective Date, from time to time following the Exchange Offer, the Company or any of its affiliates may purchase additional Notes that remain outstanding in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or may redeem or defease the Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. Any future purchase may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders than the terms of the Exchange Offer. Any future purchases by the Company will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) the Company will pursue in the future.

COVINGTON, La., Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2018 of $(31.2) million, or $(0.83) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(19.0) million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017; and a net loss of $(25.1) million, or $(0.67) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. Included in the Company's third quarter 2018 results is a $2.2 million increase in G&A due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the net impact of this item, net loss and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2018 would have been $(29.4) million, and $(0.78) per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2018 were 37.6 million compared to 37.0 million and 37.5 million for the third quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2018, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was $5.2 million compared to $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2017 and $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the additional G&A expense discussed above, third quarter 2018 EBITDA would have been $7.4 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $58.5 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $4.8 million, or 8.9%, from $53.7 million for the third quarter of 2017; and an increase of $0.1 million from $58.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in revenues primarily resulted from an increased number of active vessels, including the four high-spec OSVs purchased from Aries Marine in the second quarter of 2018, and, to a lesser extent, improved market conditions for the Company's OSVs and MPSVs. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 39 OSVs and one MPSV stacked. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had an average of 40.7 vessels stacked compared to 43.0 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 42.0 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(22.4) million, or (38.3)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(16.7) million, or (31.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(15.6) million, or (26.7)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the additional G&A expense discussed above, third quarter 2018 operating loss would have been $(20.2) million, or (34.6)% of revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2018 were $19,446 compared to $18,483 for the same period in 2017 and $19,566 for the second quarter of 2018. New generation OSV utilization was 26.1% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 26.3% for the year-ago quarter and 27.0% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 65.4%, 85.8% and 76.0% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2018 were $5,075 compared to $4,861 for the same period in 2017 and $5,283 for the second quarter of 2018.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $38.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $8.1 million, or 26.9%, from $30.1 million for the third quarter of 2017; and an increase of $3.3 million, or 9.5%, from $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year and sequential increases in operating expenses were primarily due to a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2017; and $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to long-term incentive compensation and short-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation was higher due to a $2.2 million "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The sequential increase in G&A expense was primarily due to higher long-term incentive compensation expense resulting from the "mark-to-market" adjustment on cash-settled awards.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $27.6 million for the third quarter of 2018, or $0.4 million higher than the year-ago quarter and $0.7 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense was in-line with the prior-year and sequential quarters. Amortization expense increased by $0.3 million from the year-ago quarter and $0.4 million from the sequential quarter, respectively, primarily related to the amortization of a commercial-related intangible asset associated with the acquisition of four high-spec OSVs from Aries Marine Corporation. Amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special surveys. The Company also expects amortization expense to increase whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $16.5 million during the third quarter of 2018, which was $4.6 million higher than the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the Company not capitalizing any construction period interest during the third quarter of 2018 compared to capitalizing $2.7 million, or roughly 18%, of its total interest costs for the year-ago quarter.
Nine Month Results
Revenues for the first nine months of 2018 increased 17.2% to $158.5 million compared to $135.2 million for the same period in 2017. Operating loss was $(71.8) million, or (45.3)% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(74.5) million, or (55.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net loss for the first nine months of 2018 increased $28.6 million to a net loss of $(94.9) million, or $(2.53) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(66.3) million, or $(1.80) per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2017. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2018 decreased 62.3% to $9.2 million compared to $24.4 million for the first nine months of 2017. Excluding the impact of the previously mentioned $2.2 million of additional G&A expense in the third quarter of 2018, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first nine months of 2018 would have been $(93.1) million, $(2.49) per share and $11.4 million, respectively. Included in the Company's results for the first nine months of 2017 was (i) a $15.5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) a $9.4 million redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs, and (iii) a $3.8 million increase in G&A expense resulting from additional bad debt reserves. Excluding the impact of these reconciling items, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 would have been $(80.7) million, $(2.19) per share and $3.3 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in vessel revenues is attributable to improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs and OSVs added to the Company's fleet during the second quarter of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had an average of 42.2 vessels stacked compared to 43.4 vessels stacked in the prior-year period.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and planned capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of September 30, 2018, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the four-vessel OSV acquisition that was completed in May 2018 and two MPSV newbuilds now projected to be delivered during fiscal 2020, as discussed further below. With an average of 40.7 new generation OSVs and 0.7 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 23.8 new generation OSVs and 7.3 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 37.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 29.0 new generation OSVs and 8.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $38.0 million to $43.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, and $147.0 million to $152.0 million for the full-year 2018. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2018, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company has reactivated one 240 class OSV during the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $12.5 million to $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, and $52.8 million to $54.8 million for the full fiscal year 2018. Included in this full-year estimate is the $2.2 million increase in G&A expense in the third quarter of 2018 due to the previously mentioned "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price can be highly volatile and will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income tax refunds, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2018 are projected to be $24.8 million, $3.5 million, $16.1 million, $1.3 million, $14.5 million, 37.6 million and 37.9 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 18.0% and 20.0% for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. The Company intends to work with the performance bond surety to find a shipyard that can finish construction and deliver such vessels. As of the date of termination, these two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, these vessels are now projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. The Company has conservatively projected to incur the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during the fourth quarter of 2018 and fiscal 2019, as set forth below. On October 2, 2018, the shipyard filed suit against the Company in the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany in the State of Louisiana. The Company intends to vigorously defend the shipyard's claims, considers them to be without merit, and will respond to the lawsuit in due course.
The Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of September 30, 2018. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight, eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $3.4 million and $58.9 million are currently expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further delays in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels as discussed above. From the inception of this program through September 30, 2018, the Company has incurred $1,274.1 million, or 95.4%, of total project costs, including $0.9 million that was spent during the third quarter of 2018. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $2.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $24.8 million and $33.9 million for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 501 and 466 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2018 and 2019, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of September 30, 2018, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $244.8 million, comprised of $108.1 million of cash and $136.7 million of availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility, which represents a sequential decrease of $1.0 million. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and remaining availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least March 31, 2020. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels, coupled with a refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements, including any that may occur due to the results of the pending mid-term U.S. congressional elections on November 6, 2018; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities or changes in law or policy due to the results of the last presidential election; age or other restrictions imposed on the Company's vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing any of the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021; or the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt under the Company's senior notes indentures and the existing Credit Facility. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's existing Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 | Due to net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 529, 602, 992, 988, and 529 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 | The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of September 30, 2018, including the four OSVs recently acquired from Aries Marine. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. | |
4 | In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 | Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 | Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 | Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 | Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 | Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 | Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | ||
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 | Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |
12 | The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |
13 | As of October 31, 2018, the Company's inactive fleet of 38 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: twelve 200 class OSVs, twenty-three 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSVs. | |
14 | The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | |
15 | The Company's forward guidance for general and administrative expense includes an estimate of stock-based compensation expense for outstanding equity-settled and cash-settled awards. Such expense for outstanding cash-settled awards is re-measured quarterly based on a 10-day trailing average stock price prior to each quarter-end. As of September 30, 2018, the 10-day trailing average stock price was $4.79 per share. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price can be highly volatile and will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled awards are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end. | |
16 | Interest on the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of October 31, 2018. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on all of the Company's other funded debt is fixed at rates set forth in the indentures governing such notes. | |
17 | Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | |
18 | Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. | |
19 | Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2018 of $(25.1) million, or $(0.67) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(19.5) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017; and a net loss of $(38.7) million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. Included in the Company's year-ago quarter results is a $15.5 million ($10.5 million after-tax or $0.29 per diluted share) net gain on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the repurchase of a portion of the Company's 1.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020, offset in part by the write-off of certain related deal costs, unamortized financing costs and original issue discount. Excluding the impact of such net gain on early extinguishment of debt, net loss and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2017 would have been $(30.0) million and $(0.82) per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the second quarter of 2018 were 37.5 million compared to 36.8 million and 37.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 was $11.2 million compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $(7.2) million for the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the net gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017, prior-year EBITDA would have been $(3.3) million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $58.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $21.0 million, or 56.1%, from $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2017; and an increase of $16.8 million, or 40.4%, from $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in revenues primarily resulted from improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs and, to a lesser extent, increased revenues from its OSVs. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher average dayrates and utilization across the Company's active fleet of OSVs and, to a lesser extent, seasonally-improved market conditions for the MPSV fleet. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 40 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had an average of 42.0 vessels stacked compared to 42.5 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 44.0 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(15.6) million, or (26.7)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(31.3) million, or (83.7)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(33.9) million, or (81.4)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2018. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2018 were $19,566 compared to $17,202 for the same period in 2017 and $17,985 for the first quarter of 2018. New generation OSV utilization was 27.0% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 22.3% for the year-ago quarter and 20.7% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 76.0%, 66.6% and 71.3% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2018 were $5,283 compared to $3,836 for the same period in 2017 and $3,723 for the first quarter of 2018.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $3.5 million, or 11.1%, from $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2017; and a decrease of $1.1 million, or 3.1%, from $36.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to four vessels that were acquired in the second quarter of 2018 and a higher number of active vessels in the Company's fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The sequential decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower contract-specific cost-of-sales expenses associated with the Company's MPSV fleet and lower maintenance and repair expense, partially offset by costs related to vessels added to its fleet during the second quarter of 2018.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2017; and $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The year-over-year increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to higher professional fees, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation was higher due to a "mark-to-market" adjustment required by GAAP on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2017. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by lower bad debt reserves. The sequential decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to lower long-term incentive compensation expense resulting from a change in mix of cash-settled versus equity-settled long-term incentive awards and accelerated expense for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in the first quarter of 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $26.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, or $1.0 million lower than the year-ago quarter and $0.3 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense was in-line with the prior-year and sequential quarters. Amortization expense decreased by $1.0 million from the year-ago quarter, driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Amortization expense increased $0.3 million from the sequential quarter, primarily related to the amortization of commercial-related intangible assets associated with the acquisition of four high-spec OSVs from Aries Marine Corporation. However, amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special survey. The Company also expects amortization expense to increase whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels and, thereafter, to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $16.4 million during the second quarter of 2018, which was $3.0 million higher than the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the Company not capitalizing any construction period interest during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $2.5 million, or roughly 16%, of its total interest costs for the year-ago quarter.
Six Month Results
Revenues for the first six months of 2018 increased 22.7% to $100.0 million compared to $81.5 million for the same period in 2017. Operating loss was $(49.4) million, or (49.4)% of revenues, for the first six months of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(57.8) million, or (70.9)% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net loss for the first six months of 2018 increased $16.3 million to a net loss of $(63.7) million, or $(1.70) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(47.4) million, or $(1.29) per diluted share, for the first six months of 2017. EBITDA for the first six months of 2018 decreased 71.0% to $4.0 million compared to $13.8 million for the first six months of 2017. Included in the Company's results for the first six months of 2017 was (i) a $15.5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) a $9.4 million redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs, and (iii) a $3.8 million increase in G&A expense resulting from additional bad debt reserves. Excluding the net impact of these three items, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first six months of 2017 would have been $(61.8) million, $(1.69) per share and $(7.3) million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in vessel revenues is attributable to seasonally-improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs and, to a lesser extent, increased revenues from its OSVs. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had an average of 43.0 vessels stacked compared to 44.2 vessels stacked in the prior-year period.
Recent Development Update
On May 18, 2018, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of four high-spec OSVs from Aries Marine Corporation and certain of its affiliates for $40.9 million in cash, inclusive of $4.3 million of related vessel equipment, certain commercial-related intangibles, the cost of fuel and lube inventory and transaction fees. The acquired vessels are 100% U.S.-flagged and are comprised of two 280 class OSVs and two 300 class OSVs, all of which have a DP-2 designation. The two 280 class OSVs were built in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and have capacities of approximately 3,800 DWT and 13,000 barrels of liquid mud. The two 300 class OSVs were built in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and have capacities of approximately 5,500 DWT and 19,500 barrels of liquid mud. The acquisition was fully funded with cash on hand. In accordance with the terms of the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, the vessels were pledged as additional collateral against that facility.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of June 30, 2018, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the four-vessel acquisition discussed above and the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2019, as discussed below. With an average of 40.7 new generation OSVs and 0.7 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 23.8 new generation OSVs and 7.3 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 38.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 28.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $35.0 million to $40.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, and $140.0 million to $150.0 million for the full-year 2018. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2018, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company plans to reactivate one 300 class OSV during the third quarter of 2018 and one 240 class OSV during the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $12.0 million to $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, and $48.0 million to $53.0 million for the full fiscal year 2018.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2018 are projected to be $24.8 million, $2.6 million, $13.5 million, $0.1 million, $15.6 million, 37.6 million and 37.9 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 18.0% and 20.0% for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that it was terminating the construction contracts for the final two vessels under the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program due to performance issues at the shipyard. The Company continues to work with the issuer of the shipyard's performance bonds in order to complete the construction of the vessels at a completion yard. As of the date of termination, these two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. In the event that the Company is unable to reach an agreement on completion of these vessels promptly, delivery dates may be extended beyond the current projections. The remaining shipyard contract price to be paid by the Company as of the date of termination for both vessels was approximately $53.7 million, before application of liquidated damages and other deductions allowed by the contracts. The Company also expects to incur an additional $8.1 million of budgeted project costs post-delivery for final outfitting of the vessels and for installation and commissioning of the cranes.
The Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of June 30, 2018. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $17.5 million and $44.8 million are currently expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. However, the timing of these remaining construction draws remains subject to change commensurate with any potential further delays in the delivery dates of the final two newbuild vessels as discussed above. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2018, the Company has incurred $1,273.2 million, or 95.4%, of total project costs, including $0.1 million that was spent during the second quarter of 2018. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $9.5 million during the third quarter of 2018.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $22.2 million and $29.7 million for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 371 and 497 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2018 and 2019, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of June 30, 2018, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $245.8 million, comprised of $109.1 million of cash and $136.7 million of availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility, which represents a decrease of $61.7 million, or 20.1%, from the end of the first quarter. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and remaining availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least December 31, 2019. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels, coupled with a refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; any negative impact on the Company's ability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time or on-budget; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities due to the results of the recent presidential election or changes in law or policy; age or other restrictions imposed on the Company's vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting the Company's MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021; or the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt under the Company's senior notes indentures and the New Credit Facility. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's New Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 529, 639, 992, 988, and 750 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 |
The Company owned 66 new generation OSVs as of June 30, 2018, including the four OSVs recently acquired from Aries Marine. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. | |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |
13 |
As of August 1, 2018, the Company's inactive fleet of 40 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: twelve 200 class OSVs, twenty-four 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and one 300 class OSV. In addition, the Company plans to reactivate one 300 class OSV during the third quarter of 2018 and one 240 class OSV during the fourth quarter of 2018. | |
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | |
15 |
The Company's forward guidance for general and administrative expense includes an estimate of stock-based compensation expense for outstanding equity-settled and cash-settled awards. Such expense for outstanding cash-settled awards is re-measured quarterly based on a 10-day trailing average stock price prior to each quarter-end. As of June 30, 2018, the 10-day trailing average stock price was $3.49 per share. Future increases or decreases in such average stock price can be highly volatile and will commensurately impact stock-based compensation expense (and thus G&A expense) as cash-settled units are required to be marked-to-market with cumulative catch-up adjustments at each quarter-end. | |
16 |
Interest on the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of August 1, 2018. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on all of the Company's other funded debt is fixed at rates set forth in the indentures governing such notes. | |
17 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | |
18 |
Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. | |
19 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the first quarter of 2018 of $(38.7) million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(27.9) million, or $(0.76) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017; and net income of $93.8 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. Included in the Company's year-ago quarter results was a $9.4 million redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs and $3.8 million of G&A expense resulting from additional bad debt reserves due to an unfavorable ruling in bankruptcy proceedings related to a receivable from a former customer. Excluding the net impact of these two items, net loss and diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2017 would have been $(31.7) million, and $(0.87) per share, respectively. Included in the Company's sequential quarter results was a $125.2 million tax benefit related to U.S. tax reform legislation that was enacted in December 2017, partially offset by $14.2 million of tax expense due to valuation allowances related to tax credits that may expire prior to being utilized and a $1.7 million non-cash write-off of goodwill. Excluding the net impact of these reconciling items, net loss and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2017 would have been $(16.1) million and $(0.44) per diluted share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the first quarter of 2018 were 37.3 million compared to 36.6 million and 37.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2017, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2018 was $(7.2) million compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 5.7%, from $44.1 million for the first quarter of 2017; and a decrease of $14.6 million, or 26.0%, from $56.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in revenues primarily resulted from a redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs that was recognized during the first quarter of 2017. The sequential decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lower effective dayrates for the MPSV fleet. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 44 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had an average of 44.0 vessels stacked compared to 45.9 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 43.5 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(33.9) million, or (81.4)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2018 compared to an operating loss of $(26.5) million, or (60.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(14.3) million, or (25.4)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the goodwill write-off discussed above, fourth quarter 2017 operating loss would have been $(12.6) million, or (22.4)% of revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2018 were $17,985 compared to $27,767 for the same period in 2017 and $18,964 for the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the aforementioned redelivery fee, average new generation OSV dayrates would have been $19,221 for the prior-year quarter. New generation OSV utilization was 20.7% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 19.7% for the year-ago quarter and 24.1% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 71.3%, 67.5% and 81.0% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2018 were $3,723 compared to $5,470 for the same period in 2017 and $4,570 for the fourth quarter of 2017.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $36.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $8.1 million, or 29.0%, from $27.9 million for the first quarter of 2017; and an increase of $4.8 million, or 15.4%, from $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher contract-specific cost-of-sales expenses associated with our MPSV fleet, a higher active vessel count during the first quarter of 2018 and increased maintenance and repair expense. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher maintenance and repair expense, contract-specific cost-of-sales and insurance expense.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2017; and $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expense was primarily attributable to lower bad debt reserves due to the unfavorable ruling in a bankruptcy proceeding related to a receivable from a former customer during the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense and higher legal costs. The sequential increase in G&A expense was primarily due to higher long-term incentive compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $26.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, or $1.8 million lower than each of the year-ago and sequential quarters. Depreciation expense was in-line with the prior-year and sequential quarters. Amortization expense decreased by $1.7 million from the year-ago quarter, driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Amortization expense decreased $1.7 million from the sequential quarter, wholly attributable to the fourth quarter 2017 goodwill charge previously mentioned. However, amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special survey. The Company also expects amortization expense to increase whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels, and thereafter to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.9 million during the first quarter of 2018, which was in-line with the same period in 2017. The Company recorded $2.3 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 14% of its total interest costs, for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $2.4 million, or roughly 15% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Recent Development
On April 13, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive vessel purchase agreement with Aries Marine Corporation and certain of its affiliates to acquire four high-spec OSVs and related equipment for $36.6 million in cash, plus the cost of fuel and lube inventory. The acquired vessels are 100% U.S.-flagged and are comprised of two 280 class OSVs and two 300 class OSVs, all of which have a DP-2 designation. The two 280 class OSVs were built in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and have capacities of approximately 3,800 DWT and 13,000 barrels of liquid mud. The two 300 class OSVs were built in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and have capacities of approximately 5,500 DWT and 19,500 barrels of liquid mud. The Company expects to close the transaction, subject to customary conditions, during the second quarter of 2018. The acquisition will be fully funded with cash on hand. In accordance with the terms of the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, the vessels will be pledged as additional collateral against that facility.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of March 31, 2018, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the four-vessel acquisition discussed above and the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2019, as discussed below. With an average of 41.2 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 23.3 new generation OSVs and 8.0 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 40.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 26.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Inclusive of the four-vessel acquisition discussed above, aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $35.0 million to $40.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, and $145.0 million to $160.0 million for the full-year 2018. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2018, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, and $45.0 million to $50.0 million for the full fiscal year 2018.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2018 are projected to be $24.7 million, $2.3 million, $16.0 million, $0.1 million, $14.1 million, 37.5 million and 37.8 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 18.0% and 20.0% for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that it was terminating the construction contracts for the final two vessels under the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program due to performance issues at the shipyard. The Company is now working with the issuer of the shipyard's performance bonds in order to complete the construction of the vessels at a completion yard. These two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, are expected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. The remaining shipyard contract price to be paid by the Company as of the date of termination for both vessels was approximately $53.8 million, before application of liquidated damages and other deductions allowed by the contracts. The Company also expects to incur an additional $8.1 million of budgeted project costs post-delivery for final outfitting of the vessels and for installation and commissioning of the cranes.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of March 31, 2018. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company now expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $17.6 million and $44.7 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. From the inception of this program through March 31, 2018, the Company has incurred $1,273.1 million, or 95.4%, of total expected project costs, including $0.4 million that was spent during the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect to incur any newbuild project costs during the second quarter of 2018.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $22.4 million and $27.6 million for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 319 and 445 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2018 and 2019, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related capital expenditures, including vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and commercial-related intangibles; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related capital expenditures and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $5.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of March 31, 2018, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $307.5 million, comprised of $170.8 million of cash and $136.7 million of availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility, which represents a decrease of $16.0 million, or 5%, from the end of the fourth quarter. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and remaining availability under its First-Lien Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments, including the pending $36.6 million four-vessel acquisition, through at least December 31, 2019. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels coupled with a refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; any negative impact on the Company's ability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time; the inability to successfully integrate the pending acquisition of four high-spec OSVs; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the possible loss or material limitation of the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes due to a change in control, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021; or the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt under the Company's senior notes indentures and the New Credit Facility. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's New Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 750 and 978 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the company had 185 anti-dilutive stock options. As of March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of March 31, 2018. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. Also excluded are the four vessels included in the pending acquisition from Aries Marine expected to close in the second quarter of 2018. |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |
| |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. |
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. |
13 |
As of May 2, 2018, the Company's inactive fleet of 40 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: twelve 200 class OSVs, twenty-four 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and one 300 class OSV. |
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. |
15 |
Interest on the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release related to such facility is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of May 2, 2018. Actual results may differ from this estimate. Interest expense on all of the Company's other funded debt is fixed at rates set forth in the indentures governing such notes. |
16 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. |
17 |
Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. |
18 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., Feb. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 of $93.8 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(19.2) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(19.0) million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017. Included in the Company's fourth quarter 2017 results is a $125.2 million tax benefit related to U.S. tax reform legislation that was enacted in December 2017, partially offset by $14.2 million of tax expense due to valuation allowances related to tax credits that may expire prior to being utilized and a $1.7 million non-cash write-off of goodwill. Excluding the net impact of these reconciling items, net loss and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2017 would have been $(16.1) million and $(0.44) per diluted share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the fourth quarter of 2017 were 37.9 million compared to 36.4 million and 37.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2017, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $13.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2017. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $56.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $14.3 million, or 34.1%, from $41.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016; and an increase of $2.5 million, or 4.7%, from $53.7 million for the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily due to improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs, partially offset by weak OSV market conditions worldwide. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher effective dayrates for the MPSV fleet. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 42 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had an average of 43.5 vessels stacked compared to 46.5 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 43.0 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(14.3) million, or (25.4)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(27.5) million, or (65.6)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(16.7) million, or (31.1)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the goodwill write-off discussed above, fourth quarter 2017 operating loss would have been $(12.6) million, or (22.4)% of revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $18,964 compared to $24,212 for the same period in 2016 and $18,483 for the third quarter of 2017. New generation OSV utilization was 24.1% for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to 20.0% for the year-ago quarter and 26.3% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 81.0%, 74.5% and 85.8% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $4,570 compared to $4,842 for the same period in 2016 and $4,861 for the third quarter of 2017.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $3.7 million, or 13.5%, from $27.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016; and an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.7%, from $30.1 million for the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher average number of active vessels in the Company's fleet. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel expenses.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016; and $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expense was primarily attributable to lower long-term incentive compensation and lower short-term incentive compensation, partially offset by higher professional fees related to the Company's on-going liability management activities. The sequential decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to lower long-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation was lower than the prior-year period and sequential quarter due to a "mark to market" adjustment on cash-settled share-based awards to reflect the decrease in the Company's stock price during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, or $0.2 million lower than the year-ago quarter and $1.2 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation expense decreased by $0.1 million over the year-ago quarter. Amortization expense also decreased by $0.1 million over the year-ago quarter, driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs, partially offset by the $1.7 million goodwill charge. Depreciation expense was in-line with the sequential quarter; however, amortization expense was $1.2 million higher, wholly attributable to the goodwill charge previously mentioned. Amortization expense is expected to decrease further in fiscal 2018 as a result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked. However, amortization expense is expected to increase in fiscal 2019 as a result of currently active vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program commencing their initial intermediate drydock or special survey. The Company also expects amortization expense to increase whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels, and thereafter to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $12.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, or $1.6 million lower than the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense associated with the debt exchange and debt repurchases, as well as the termination of the then-existing credit facility, all of which were completed during the second quarter of 2017. The Company recorded $2.6 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 18% of its total interest costs, for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $2.4 million, or roughly 15% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Twelve Month Results
Revenue for fiscal 2017 decreased 14.7% to $191.4 million compared to $224.3 million for fiscal 2016. Operating loss was $(88.7) million, or (46.4)% of revenues, for fiscal 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(64.2) million, or (28.6)% of revenues, for the prior-year. Net income for fiscal 2017 increased $91.2 million to $27.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(63.8) million, or $(1.76) per diluted share, for fiscal 2016. EBITDA for fiscal 2017 decreased 25.7% to $38.2 million compared to $51.4 million for fiscal 2016. Included in the Company's results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 are a net $111.0 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily related to the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017, a $15.5 million net gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017 and a $1.7 million charge for the write-off of goodwill. Excluding the impact of these reconciling items, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for fiscal 2017 would have been $(91.9) million, $(2.49) per diluted share and $22.8 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from weak market conditions worldwide and the repricing or stacking of six vessels, which concluded long-term contracts at dayrates above current market levels. For fiscal 2017, the Company had an average of 43.6 vessels stacked compared to 41.6 vessels stacked in fiscal 2016.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further change in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of December 31, 2017, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds now expected to be delivered during fiscal 2019, as discussed below. With an average of 42.9 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 19.1 new generation OSVs and 8.0 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 43.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2019, the Company's active fleet for 2019 is expected to be comprised of an average of 19.0 new generation OSVs and 9.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $32.0 million to $37.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, and $130.0 million to $145.0 million for the full-year 2018. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of vessels on various dates from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2017, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company plans to stack one 240 class OSV during the remainder of the first quarter of 2018. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, and $45.0 million to $50.0 million for the full-year 2018.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2018 are projected to be $24.6 million, $2.1 million, $13.2 million, $0.2 million, $15.1 million, 37.3 million and 37.9 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax benefit rate is expected to be between 20.0% and 22.0% for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The two remaining vessels under the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, are now expected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of December 31, 2017. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company now expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $18.4 million and $43.9 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. From the inception of this program through December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $1,272.7 million, or 95.3%, of total expected project costs, including $3.2 million that was spent during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2018.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $19.4 million and $24.2 million for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 329 and 435 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2018 and 2019, respectively, during which the applicable vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of December 31, 2017, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $323.5 million, comprised of $186.8 million of cash and $136.7 million of availability under the First-Lien Credit Facility, which represents an increase of $7.0 million, or 2%, from the end of the third quarter. Included in the Company's year-end cash balance was the minimum required draw of an additional $67.0 million of the delayed-draw "use-it-or-lose-it" commitments under the First-Lien Credit Facility. The next such minimum draw of $68.0 million isn't required until December 31, 2018. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and remaining availability under the First-Lien Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least December 31, 2019. However, absent the combination of a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels coupled with a refinancing and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; any negative impact on the Company's ability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire; administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021; or the potential for any impairment charges that could arise in the future and that would reduce the Company's consolidated net tangible assets which, in turn, would further limit the Company's ability to grant certain liens, make certain investments, and incur certain debt under the Company's senior notes indentures and the New Credit Facility. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's New Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the company had 185 anti-dilutive stock options. Due to net losses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 981, 975 and 990 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of December 31, 2017. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. | |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |
13 |
As of February 7, 2018, the Company's inactive fleet of 44 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: twelve 200 class OSVs, twenty-five 240 class OSVs, four 265 class OSVs and three 300 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to stack one 240 class OSV during the first quarter of 2018. | |
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | |
15 |
Interest on the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of February 7, 2018. Actual results may differ from this estimate. | |
16 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | |
17 |
Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. | |
18 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2017 of $(19.0) million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, compared to $(16.5) million, or $(0.45) per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and $(19.5) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017. Included in the Company's second quarter 2017 results is a $15.5 million ($10.5 million after-tax or $0.29 per diluted share) net gain on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the repurchase of a portion of the Company's 1.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020, offset in part by the write-off of certain related deal costs, unamortized financing costs and original issue discount. Excluding the impact of such net gain on early extinguishment of debt, net loss and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2017 would have been $(30.0) million and $(0.82) per share, respectively. After adjusting for these reconciling items included in the second quarter of 2017, the third quarter net loss and diluted EPS would have been $11.0 million and $0.31 per share higher than the sequential quarter, respectively. Diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2017 were 37.0 million compared to 36.3 million and 36.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 was $10.6 million compared to $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the net gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017, sequential EBITDA would have been $(3.3) million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $53.7 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.8 million, or 3.5%, from $51.9 million for the third quarter of 2016; and an increase of $16.3 million, or 43.6%, from $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily due to improved market conditions for the Company's MPSVs, partially offset by weak market conditions worldwide and the repricing or stacking of four OSVs, which concluded long-term contracts that were working at dayrates above current market levels. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher average dayrates for our MPSV fleet and seasonally higher utilization across the Company's active fleet of OSVs in the GoM. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 44 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had an average of 43.0 vessels stacked compared to 44.1 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 42.5 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(16.7) million, or (31.1)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(14.4) million, or (27.8)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(31.3) million, or (83.7)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2017. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2017 were $18,483 compared to $25,639 for the same period in 2016 and $17,202 for the second quarter of 2017. New generation OSV utilization was 26.3% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 22.0% for the year-ago quarter and 22.3% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 85.8%, 76.3% and 66.6% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2017 were $4,861 compared to $5,641 for the same period in 2016 and $3,836 for the second quarter of 2017.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $30.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.4%, from $29.4 million for the third quarter of 2016; and a decrease of $1.3 million, or 4.1%, from $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a higher average number of active vessels in the Company's fleet. The sequential decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower maintenance and repair expenses.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2016; and $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to higher professional fees related to the Company's on-going liability management activities, short-term incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and bad debt expense. The sequential increase in G&A expense was primarily due to an increase in fees associated with the Company's on-going liability management activities and higher long-term incentive compensation expense. Long-term incentive compensation was higher than the prior-year period and sequential quarter due to a "mark to market" adjustment on cash-settled awards to reflect the increase in the Company's stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, or $0.9 million and $0.8 million lower than the year-ago quarter and sequential quarter, respectively. Depreciation increased by $1.2 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the addition of two vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since June 30, 2016. The depreciation increase was more than offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $2.1 million, which was mainly driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Amortization expense is expected to decrease further in the near term as a result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked. The Company expects amortization expense to increase temporarily whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels, and thereafter to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $12.0 million during the third quarter of 2017, or $0.9 million lower than the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the write-off of fees associated with the amendment to the Company's revolving credit facility during the year-ago period and lower interest expense associated with the debt exchange and termination of the then-existing credit facility that was completed during the sequential quarter. These favorable differences were partially offset by a decrease in capitalized interest during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company recorded $2.7 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 18% of its total interest costs, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $4.2 million, or roughly 25% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Nine Month Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2017 decreased 25.9% to $135.2 million compared to $182.4 million for the same period in 2016. Operating loss was $(74.5) million, or (55.1)% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(36.7) million, or (20.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net loss for the first nine months of 2017 increased $21.7 million to a net loss of $(66.3) million, or $(1.80) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(44.6) million, or $(1.23) per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2016. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 decreased 51.5% to $24.4 million compared to $50.3 million for the first nine months of 2016. Included in the Company's results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are revenues of $9.4 million for a vessel redelivery fee and $3.8 million of additional bad debt expense in the first quarter of 2017 and a $15.5 million net gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of these reconciling items, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 would have been $(80.7) million, $(2.19) per share and $3.3 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from soft market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack an average of 3.5 incremental vessels on various dates from December 2015 through September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had an average of 43.4 vessels stacked compared to 39.9 vessels stacked in the prior-year period.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and the currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of September 30, 2017, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2018, as discussed below. With an average of 43.2 new generation OSVs and 0.8 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 18.8 new generation OSVs and 7.2 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 45.0 new generation OSVs and no MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 17.0 new generation OSVs and 8.6 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $30.0 million to $35.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, and $119.4 million to $124.4 million for the full-year 2017. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company since the fourth quarter of 2014 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of new generation OSVs and MPSVs on various dates from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. Since the end of the third quarter of 2017, the Company has activated one 240 class OSV. Additionally, the Company plans to stack two 240 class OSVs during the remainder of the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, and $47.6 million to $49.6 million for the full-year 2017. This full-year G&A range includes the $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserve recorded during the first quarter of 2017.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2017 are projected to be $24.7 million, $2.2 million, $12.0 million, $(10.1) million, $12.6 million, 37.0 million and 37.9 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be between 32.0% and 34.0% for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The two remaining vessels under the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program, which are 400 class MPSVs, are currently expected to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of September 30, 2017. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 8.6 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $10.3 million and $60.7 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through September 30, 2017, the Company has incurred $1,269.5 million, or 95.1%, of total expected project costs, including $2.6 million that was spent during the third quarter of 2017. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $4.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $10.5 million and $16.1 million for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 243 and 217 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2017 and 2018, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $3.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 36 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2017, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Liquidity Outlook
As of September 30, 2017, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $316.5 million, comprised of $112.8 million of cash and $203.7 million of availability under the First-Lien Credit Facility, which represents a decrease of $12.0 million, or 4%, from the end of the second quarter. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and availability under the First-Lien Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments through at least December 31, 2019. However, absent a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low or further declines in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in the timing and/or extent of Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's New Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 990, 988, 988, 974 and 992 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of September 30, 2017. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company and four non-owned vessels operated by the Company for the U.S. Navy. | |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses (gains) on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |
13 |
As of November 1, 2017, the Company's inactive fleet of 43 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: twelve 200 class OSVs, twenty-four 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and four 300 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to stack two 240 class OSVs during the fourth quarter of 2017. | |
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | |
15 |
Interest on the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of November 1, 2017. Actual results may differ from this estimate. | |
16 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | |
17 |
Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's First-Lien Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. | |
18 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

The Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2017 of $(19.5) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, compared to $(20.6) million, or $(0.57) per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and $(27.9) million, or $(0.76) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017. Included in the Company's second quarter 2017 results is a $15.5 million ($10.5 million after-tax or $0.29 per diluted share) net gain on early extinguishment of debt resulting from the repurchase of a portion of the Company's 1.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019, or Convertible Notes, and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020, or 5.875% Senior Notes, offset in part by the write-off of certain related deal costs, unamortized financing costs and original issue discount. Excluding the impact of such net gain on early extinguishment of debt, net loss and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2017 would have been $(30.0) million and $(0.82) per share, respectively. Included in the Company's first quarter 2017 results was a $9.4 million redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs. Also included in the Company's first quarter 2017 results was a $3.8 million increase in G&A expense resulting from additional bad debt reserves due to an unfavorable ruling in recent bankruptcy proceedings related to a receivable from a former customer. Excluding the net impact of these two items, net loss and diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2017 would have been $(31.7) million, and $(0.87) per share, respectively. After adjusting for these reconciling items included in the second quarter of 2017 and the sequential quarter, the second quarter net loss and diluted EPS would have been $1.7 million and $0.05 per share higher than the sequential quarter, respectively. Diluted common shares for the second quarter of 2017 were 36.8 million compared to 36.2 million and 36.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 was $12.2 million compared to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2017. Excluding such gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017, EBITDA would have been $(3.3) million. Excluding such redelivery fee and such additional bad debt reserves in the first quarter of 2017, EBITDA would have been $(3.9) million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of $16.3 million, or 30.4%, from $53.7 million for the second quarter of 2016; and a decrease of $6.7 million, or 15.2%, from $44.1 million for the first quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to weak market conditions worldwide and the repricing of four OSVs, which concluded long-term contracts that were working at dayrates above current market levels. Included in the sequential quarter revenue was a $9.4 million redelivery fee. Excluding this fee from the first quarter, revenue for the second quarter was $2.7 million, or 7.8%, higher than the sequential quarter. The sequential increase in adjusted revenue was primarily attributable to higher average dayrates for our MPSV fleet. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 42 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had an average of 42.5 vessels stacked compared to 41.9 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 45.9 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(31.3) million, or (83.7)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(21.5) million, or (40.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and an operating loss of $(26.5) million, or (60.1)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2017. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2017 were $17,202 compared to $26,642 for the same period in 2016 and $27,767 for the first quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the redelivery fee, average new generation OSV dayrates would have been $19,221 for the first quarter of 2017. New generation OSV utilization was 22.3% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 23.9% for the year-ago quarter and 19.7% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 66.6%, 73.8% and 67.5% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2017 were $3,836 compared to $6,367 for the same period in 2016 and $5,470 for the first quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the redelivery fee, utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2017 would have been $3,787.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 8.5%, from $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2016; and an increase of $3.5 million, or 12.5%, from $27.9 million for the first quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a reduction in mariner pay and other operating expenses. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel expenses driven by a higher average number of active vessels.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2016; and $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expense was primarily attributable to lower long-term incentive compensation expense and lower bad debt reserves. Long-term incentive compensation was lower due to a "mark to market" adjustment on cash-settled awards to reflect the decline in the Company's stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The sequential decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserves in the first quarter of 2017 related to a former customer's bankruptcy proceedings.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, or $0.5 million lower than both the year-ago quarter and sequential quarter. Depreciation increased by $2.0 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the addition of two vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since March 31, 2016. The depreciation increase was offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $2.5 million, which was mainly driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Amortization expense is expected to decrease further in the near term as a result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked. The Company expects amortization expense to increase temporarily whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels, and thereafter to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.4 million during the second quarter of 2017, or $2.4 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's nearly completed newbuild program. The Company recorded $2.5 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 16% of its total interest costs, for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $5.1 million, or roughly 32% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt. On June 15, 2017, the Company terminated its existing revolving credit facility and replaced it with a new $300 million first-lien delayed-draw credit facility. The Company concurrently arranged for the repurchase of $73.3 million in face value of its outstanding Convertible Notes and $8.1 million in face value of its 5.875% Senior Notes for an aggregate total of $54.1 million of cash. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, this repurchase of debt with cash has been accounted for as a debt extinguishment, which resulted in the Company recording a net gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $15.5 million ($10.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share after-tax). The accounting for this transaction was comprised of a $27.2 million gain on the repurchase of its Convertible Notes and 5.875% Senior Notes, offset in part by the write-off of $2.3 million of deal costs and unamortized financing costs related to the credit facilities and $9.4 million of original issue discount, deal costs and unamortized financing costs related to the bond repurchases.
Six Month Results
Revenue for the first six months of 2017 decreased 37.5% to $81.5 million compared to $130.5 million for the same period in 2016. Operating loss was $(57.8) million, or (70.9)% of revenues, for the first six months of 2017 compared to an operating loss of $(22.3) million, or (17.1)% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net loss for the first six months of 2017 increased $19.3 million to a net loss of $(47.4) million, or $(1.29) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(28.1) million, or $(0.78) per diluted share, for the first six months of 2016. EBITDA for the first six months of 2017 decreased 60.7% to $13.8 million compared to $35.1 million for the first six months of 2016. Excluding the impact of the previously mentioned $9.4 million redelivery fee and $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserves in the first quarter of 2017 and $15.5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017, net loss, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first six months of 2017 would have been $(61.8) million, $(1.69) per share and $(7.3) million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from soft market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack an average of 6.4 incremental vessels on various dates from December 2015 through June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had an average of 44.2 vessels stacked compared to 37.8 vessels stacked in the prior-year period.
Recent Developments
New First-Lien Credit Facility. On June 15, 2017, the Company closed on a new $300 million first-lien delayed-draw term loan credit facility, or the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility refinanced the Company's then-existing $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Old Credit Facility. The six-year term of the New Credit Facility extends the maturity of the Old Credit Facility from February 2020 to June 2023.
The New Credit Facility enhanced the Company's financial flexibility by increasing liquidity, extending the maturity date and eliminating all of the existing financial ratio maintenance covenants and the anti-cash hoarding provision of the Old Credit Facility. The Company can use the amounts it draws under the New Credit Facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of distressed assets and/or the refinancing of existing debt, subject to, among other things, compliance with certain covenants requiring the Company to maintain access to liquidity (cash and credit availability) of $25.0 million at all times. The minimum liquidity level required for prepayment of the Company's existing indebtedness and/or certain other restricted payments is $65.0 million. The Company is required to draw on a cumulative basis (i) at least $68 million of the delayed-draw commitments under the New Credit Facility by December 31, 2017, (ii) at least $136 million of such commitments by December 31, 2018, and (iii) the full amount of the remaining $203.7 million of such commitments by September 1, 2019. The right to borrow any amount of the delayed-draw commitments not drawn by the respective minimum funding dates will be terminated.
The New Credit Facility is collateralized by 51 domestic high-spec OSVs and MPSVs, including a security interest in two pending MPSV newbuilds, and associated personalty, as well as by certain deposit and securities accounts. The Company's other assets that do not arise from, are not required for use in connection with, and are not necessary for, the operation of mortgaged vessels are unencumbered by liens, including ten low-spec domestic OSVs and eleven foreign-flagged vessels.
The Company also has the option, exercisable anytime or from time-to-time during the six-year term of the loan, of paying interest on the New Credit Facility "in-kind" (accruing to the outstanding principal of the loan, or PIK Interest), subject to a 100 basis-point step-up in interest rate and a minimum 3% cash-pay coupon for so long as the Company elects to pay PIK Interest, subject to any and all debt incurrence and permitted lien restrictions then in effect under any outstanding loan agreements or bond indentures as of the time of such increase in principal. The New Credit Facility may be prepaid at 102% of the principal amount repaid in year one, 101% of the principal amount repaid in year two, and at par thereafter.
Upon closing of the New Credit Facility, $95.3 million of debt under such facility was exchanged for $127.1 million in face value of the Convertible Notes. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, this debt-for-debt exchange has been accounted for as a debt modification, requiring the Company to defer the $31.8 million gain. Such gain was reduced by $11.1 million of original issue discount that was associated with the Convertible Notes. This net credit of $20.7 million will be deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense over the life of the New Credit Facility.
The foregoing is only a summary, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified by the full text of the First Lien Term Loan Agreement and the First Lien Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, which were filed as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2017.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 13 and 14 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 10 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of June 30, 2017, the Company's fleet of owned vessels consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2018, as discussed below. With an average of 43.4 new generation OSVs and 0.8 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 18.6 new generation OSVs and 7.2 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 45.0 new generation OSVs and no MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 17.0 new generation OSVs and 8.6 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $31.0 million to $36.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, and $120.0 million to $130.0 million for the full-year 2017. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company in 2015 and 2016 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of new generation OSVs and MPSVs on various dates from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. Since the end of the quarter, the Company has stacked one 200 class OSV and has activated two 300 class OSVs. Additionally, the Company plans to stack two 200 class OSVs and two 240 class OSVs during the remainder of the third quarter of 2017. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $10.0 million to $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, and $45.0 million to $48.0 million for the full-year 2017. This full-year G&A range includes the $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserve recorded during the first quarter of 2017.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2017 are projected to be $24.7 million, $2.5 million, $11.7 million, $0.7 million, $13.8 million, 37.0 million and 37.8 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018 is provided on page 14 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be between 32.0% and 34.0% for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The two remaining vessels under the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program, which are 400 class MPSVs, are currently expected to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of June 30, 2017. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 8.6 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $19.8 million and $51.2 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2017, the Company has incurred $1,266.9 million, or 94.9%, of total expected project costs, including $1.6 million that was spent during the second quarter of 2017. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $6.1 million during the third quarter of 2017.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 13 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $8.7 million and $15.3 million for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 206 and 188 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2017 and 2018, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 13 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of June 30, 2017, the Company's total liquidity (cash and credit availability) was $328.5 million, comprised of $124.8 million of cash and $203.7 million of availability under the New Credit Facility, which represents an increase of $44.4 million, or 16%, from the end of the first quarter. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's total liquidity was $284.1 million, comprised of $209.1 million of cash and $75.0 million of availability under the Old Credit Facility. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand and availability under the New Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments at least through December 31, 2019. However, absent a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels and/or further management of its funded debt obligations, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes as they mature in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. The recently completed New Credit Facility was the first step in addressing the maturities of its unsecured notes. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low or further declines in oil and natural gas prices; continued weakness in demand for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; disruption in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire certain funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual lenders to provide funding under the Company's New Credit Facility, if and when required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's existing indebtedness. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 992, 988, 992, 966 and 978 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2016, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of June 30, 2017. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company. |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services related to non-owned vessels, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |

The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes EBITDA provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |
In addition, the Company has also historically made certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that such ratios can, at times, be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. |
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. |
13 |
As of August 2, 2017, the Company's inactive fleet of 41 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: ten 200 class OSVs, twenty-three 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and five 300 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to stack two 200 class OSVs and two 240 class OSVs during the third quarter of 2017. |
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. |
15 |
Interest on the Company's New Credit Facility is variable based on changes in LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance included in this press release is based on industry estimates of LIBOR in future periods as of August 2, 2017. Actual results may differ from this estimate. |
16 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. |
17 |
Represents the non-cash recognition of the $20.7 million gain on the debt-for-debt exchange associated with the Company's New Credit Facility, which is being deferred and amortized prospectively as a yield adjustment to interest expense as required by GAAP under debt modification accounting. |
18 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) ("the Company") announced today that the Company has refinanced its existing $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility") with a new first-lien delayed-draw credit facility providing for up to $300 million of term loans (the "New Credit Facility"). The six-year term of the New Credit Facility extends the maturity of the Old Credit Facility from February 2020 to June 2023.
The New Credit Facility enhances the Company's financial flexibility by (i) increasing liquidity from the currently applicable borrowing base of $75 million under the Old Credit Facility, (ii) extending the maturity date that existed under the Old Credit Facility by over three years, and (iii) eliminating all of the existing financial ratio maintenance covenants and the anti-cash hoarding provision of the Old Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of distressed assets and/or the refinancing of existing debt, subject to, among other things, compliance with certain minimum liquidity (cash and credit availability) requirements.
Borrowings under the New Credit Facility accrue interest, at the Company's option, at either the LIBOR rate or Base Rate. The cash-pay LIBOR spread for floating-rate funded borrowings under the New Credit Facility is L+600 in year one, L+650 in year two, L+700 in year three, L+725 in year four and L+750 thereafter; subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor. The Base Rate spreads are 100 bps less than the LIBOR rate spreads for each respective year. The New Credit Facility is pre-payable at 102% of principal in year one, 101% of principal in year two, and at par thereafter.
The Company focused its efforts on lowering the interest rate in, and limiting the call protection to, the first two years. Should industry market conditions improve sufficiently by year three, the Company may be able to refinance the New Credit Facility on more favorable terms at such time.
The Company also has the option, exercisable anytime or from time-to-time during the six-year term of the loan, of paying interest on the New Credit Facility "in-kind" (accruing to the outstanding principal of the loan, or PIK Interest), subject to a 100 basis-point step-up in interest rate and a minimum 3% cash-pay coupon for so long as the Company elects to pay PIK Interest, subject to any and all debt incurrence and permitted lien restrictions then in effect under any outstanding loan agreements or bond indentures as of the time of such increase in principal.
The Company's exclusive financial advisor in connection with the transaction was PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance, LLC and the Company's legal advisors were Latham & Watkins, LLP and Winstead PC.
The foregoing is only a summary, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified by the full text of the First Lien Term Loan Agreement and the First Lien Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, which will be filed as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K related to this matter, expected to be filed today.
Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. is a leading provider of technologically advanced, new generation offshore service vessels primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and Latin America.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about the Company's plans and intentions with regard to the New Credit Facility, the availability of the delayed draws and potential uses of proceeds. These statements are based on the Company's current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that the expectations will prove to be correct, including whether and to what extent the Company will arrange any additional tranches of debt facilities or whether it will be able to refinance the New Credit Facility on more favorable terms prior to its scheduled maturity.

COVINGTON, La., May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the first quarter of 2017 of $(27.9) million, or $(0.76) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(7.5) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(19.2) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016. Included in the Company's first quarter 2017 results is a $9.4 million redelivery fee related to the completion of a long-term contract for one of the Company's OSVs. Also included in the Company's first quarter 2017 results is a $3.8 million increase in G&A expense resulting from additional bad debt reserves due to an unfavorable ruling in recent bankruptcy proceedings related to a receivable from a former customer. Excluding the net impact of these two items, net loss and diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2017 would have been $(31.7) million, and $(0.87) per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the first quarter of 2017 were 36.6 million compared to 36.1 million and 36.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2016, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million compared to $28.2 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the net impact of the two items discussed above, first quarter 2017 EBITDA would have been $(3.9) million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $44.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $32.7 million, or 42.6%, from $76.8 million for the first quarter of 2016; and an increase of $2.2 million, or 5.3%, from $41.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to weak market conditions worldwide, which led to the Company's decision to stack 18 incremental vessels on various dates since December 31, 2015. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the redelivery fee mentioned above. Excluding this fee, adjusted revenue was $34.7 million, a decrease of $42.1 million, or 54.8% from the prior-year quarter and a decrease of $7.2 million, or 17.2% from the sequential quarter. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 44 OSVs and two MPSVs stacked. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had an average of 45.9 vessels stacked compared to 33.7 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 46.5 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. Operating loss was $(26.5) million, or (60.1)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to operating loss of $(0.8) million, or (1.0)% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and operating loss of $(27.5) million, or (65.6)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the net impact of the two items discussed above, first quarter 2017 operating loss would have been $(32.0) million, or (92.3)% of adjusted revenues. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2017 were $27,767 compared to $24,601 for the same period in 2016 and $24,212 for the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the redelivery fee, average new generation OSV dayrates would have been $19,221 for the first quarter of 2017. New generation OSV utilization was 19.7% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 35.1% for the year-ago quarter and 20.0% for the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to weak market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 67.5%, 77.4% and 74.5% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2017 were $5,470 compared to $8,635 for the same period in 2016 and $4,842 for the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the redelivery fee, utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2017 would have been $3,787.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $27.9 million for the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $12.5 million, or 30.9%, from $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2016; and an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.5%, from $27.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company removed from its active fleet count through its stacking strategy since December 31, 2015, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount, mariner pay cuts and reductions in other operating expenses.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expense was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2016; and $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to the $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserves previously mentioned and, to a lesser extent, $1.0 million of higher short-term incentive compensation expense and $0.8 million of long-term incentive compensation expense. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by $1.0 million of lower shoreside compensation expense due to workforce reductions that were implemented during fiscal 2016. In addition, the first quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by $2.0 million of lower long-term stock-based incentive compensation expense and $1.1 million of lower short-term incentive compensation expense. After adjusting for these reconciling items, G&A expense for the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2016 were comparable at $11.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.4 million for the first quarter of 2017, or $0.1 million and $0.2 million lower than the year-ago quarter and sequential quarter, respectively. Depreciation increased by $2.5 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of four vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since December 31, 2015. The depreciation increase was offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $2.6 million, which was mainly driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Amortization expense is expected to decrease further in the near term as a result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked. The Company expects amortization expense to increase temporarily whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels, and thereafter to revert back to historical levels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.8 million during the first quarter of 2017, or $2.7 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's nearly completed newbuild program. The Company recorded $2.4 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 15% of its total interest costs, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $5.0 million, or roughly 31% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Income Taxes. The Company's income tax benefit rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 30.6%. This was below the Company's historical tax rate due to the adoption of a new accounting standard effective January 1, 2017, which requires the tax impact of stock-based compensation arrangements to be recorded as a discrete item within the provision for income taxes, whereas it was previously recorded in additional paid-in capital. This standard will cause volatility in the Company's effective tax rates in the periods when outstanding stock options are exercised or restricted stock awards vest.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially, particularly given the volatility inherent in, and currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's fleet consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2018, as discussed below. With an average of 44.8 new generation OSVs and 1.9 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 17.2 new generation OSVs and 6.1 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 46.0 new generation OSVs and 2.0 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 16.0 new generation OSVs and 7.3 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $30.0 million to $35.0 million for the second quarter of 2017, and $115.0 million to $130.0 million for the full-year 2017. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated continuing results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company in 2015 and 2016 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 46 new generation OSVs, including five 300 class OSVs, and two MPSVs on various dates from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2017, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company plans to stack four OSVs during the second quarter of 2017 and one additional OSV during the third quarter of 2017. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expense. G&A expense is expected to be in the approximate range of $10.5 million to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, and $45.0 million to $50.0 million for the full-year 2017. This full-year G&A range includes the $3.8 million of additional bad debt reserve recorded during the first quarter of 2017.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2017 are projected to be $24.7 million, $3.6 million, $13.8 million, $0.3 million, $11.3 million, 36.8 million and 37.6 million, respectively. As a reminder, please note that GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be between 34.0% and 35.0% for fiscal 2017 and between 36.0% and 38.0% for fiscal 2018.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of May 3, 2017, the Company has placed 22 vessels in service under this program. The two remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program, which are 400 class MPSVs, are currently expected to be delivered in the first and third quarters of 2018, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of March 31, 2017. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.3 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $26.1 million and $44.9 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through March 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $1,265.3 million, or 94.8%, of total expected project costs, including $1.3 million that was spent during the first quarter of 2017. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $4.6 million during the second quarter of 2017.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $9.3 million and $14.5 million for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 206 and 228 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2017 and 2018, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $209.1 million. Based on the Company's results for the trailing four quarters, including the first quarter of 2017, the Company designated the interest coverage holiday permitted by the revolving credit facility to commence, effective April 27, 2017, for the four-quarter period ending December 31, 2017, unless rescinded sooner. As a result, the borrowing base will be capped at $75 million during the period of the holiday and the LIBOR spreads for funded borrowings will be increased by an additional 50 basis points during and after the holiday. While the Company remains in compliance with all covenants under the undrawn facility, its ability to access the full, currently applicable, $75 million borrowing base is subject to an anti-cash hoarding provision that, pro forma for deployment of the use of proceeds, limits the Company's cash balance to $50 million at any time the facility is drawn. The Company projects that, even with the currently depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments at least through the end of its current guidance period ending December 31, 2018. However, absent a significant recovery of market conditions such that cash flow from operations were to increase materially from projected levels, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the full amount of its three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding as they mature in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, without refinancing part or all of such debt. Refinancing in the current climate is not likely to be achievable on terms that are in-line with the Company's historic cost of debt capital. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low or further declines in oil and natural gas prices; continued weakness in demand for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; recent disruption in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over-capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; other industry risks; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's currently undrawn revolving credit facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

2 |
Due to net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2016, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 978, 981 and 939 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2016, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of March 31, 2017. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned by the Company. | |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 |
Average utilization rates are based on a 365-day year for all active and stacked vessels. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the average new generation utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that these ratios can be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
•EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | ||
• EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | ||
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||

COVINGTON, La., Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $(19.2) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(16.5) million, or $(0.45) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016. Diluted common shares for the fourth quarter of 2016 were 36.4 million compared to 35.9 million and 36.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2016, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million compared to $32.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2016. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $41.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of $46.8 million, or 52.8%, from $88.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $10.0 million, or 19.3%, from $51.9 million for the third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to weak market conditions worldwide, which led to the Company's decision to stack 25 incremental vessels on various dates since September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 44 OSVs and two MPSVs stacked. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company had an average of 46.5 vessels stacked compared to 26.8 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 44.1 vessels stacked in the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $3.4 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of five vessels that were placed in service since September 30, 2015 under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program. Operating loss was $(27.5) million, or (65.6)% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to operating income of $4.5 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and operating loss of $(14.4) million, or (27.8)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2016. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $24,212 compared to $24,033 for the same period in 2015 and $25,639 for the third quarter of 2016. New generation OSV utilization was 20.0% for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 46.3% for the year-ago quarter and 22.0% for the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to weak market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 74.5%, 84.4% and 76.3% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $4,842 compared to $11,127 for the same period in 2015 and $5,641 for the third quarter of 2016.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $27.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of $17.9 million, or 39.4%, from $45.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $1.9 million, or 6.5%, from $29.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company removed from its active fleet count through its stacking strategy since September 30, 2015, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount, mariner pay cuts and reductions in other operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by $1.9 million of operating costs related to the full or partial-period contribution from newbuilds added to the Company's fleet since September 30, 2015.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses were $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015; and $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2016. The sequential increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in short-term incentive compensation expense, long-term stock-based incentive compensation expense and, to a lesser extent, an increase in bad debt reserves. These increases were partially offset by lower base compensation expense for shoreside personnel. Stock-based compensation expense can fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the result of volatility in the Company's stock price. Shoreside compensation expense was lower due to workforce reductions and pay-cuts that were implemented in late 2015 and in 2016.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, or $0.9 million and $0.5 million higher than the year-ago quarter and sequential quarter, respectively. Depreciation increased by $3.3 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of five vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since September 30, 2015. The depreciation increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $2.5 million, which was driven lower by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Depreciation expense is expected to increase from current levels when the two remaining MPSVs under the current newbuild program are placed in service during 2018. Amortization expense is expected to decrease in the near term as a result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked. The Company expects amortization expense to revert back to historical levels whenever market conditions warrant reactivation of currently stacked vessels, which will then require the Company to drydock such vessels.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, or $4.2 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's nearly completed newbuild program. The Company recorded $2.4 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 15% of its total interest costs, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $6.5 million, or roughly 40% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Annual Results for Fiscal 2016
Revenue for fiscal 2016 decreased 52.9% to $224.3 million compared to $476.1 million for fiscal 2015. Operating loss was $(64.2) million, or (28.6)% of revenues, for 2016 compared to operating income of $143.5 million, or 30.2% of revenues, for the prior year. The Company reported a net loss for fiscal 2016 of $(63.8) million, or $(1.76) per diluted share, compared to net income of $66.8 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for the prior year, which was a decrease of $130.7 million. EBITDA for fiscal 2016 decreased 79.7% to $51.4 million compared to $253.6 million for fiscal 2015. The Company recorded a $44.1 million ($27.6 million after-tax or $0.76 per diluted share) gain on sale of assets during fiscal 2015. This gain resulted from the February 2015 and August 2015 sales of four 250EDF class OSVs previously chartered to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, operating income, net income, diluted EPS and EBITDA for fiscal 2015 would have been $99.4 million, $39.2 million, $1.08 per share and $209.5 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from weak market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack an additional 39 OSVs and two MPSVs on various dates from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2016. For fiscal 2016, the Company had an average of 41.3 OSVs and 0.3 MPSVs stacked compared to 18.0 OSVs and no MPSVs stacked in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $12.7 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of eight vessels that were placed in-service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program during fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12 of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially given the volatility inherent in, and currently depressed conditions of, the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; any additional stacking or reactivation of vessels; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible share or note repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's fleet consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the two MPSV newbuilds expected to be delivered during fiscal 2018, as discussed below. With an average of 45.1 new generation OSVs and 2.0 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 16.9 new generation OSVs and 6.0 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 46.0 new generation OSVs and 2.0 MPSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2018, the Company's active fleet for 2018 is expected to be comprised of an average of 16.0 new generation OSVs and 7.3 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $28.0 million to $33.0 million for the first quarter of 2017, and $115.0 million to $130.0 million for the full-year 2017. Reflected in the cash opex guidance ranges above are the anticipated results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company in 2015 and 2016 due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 44 new generation OSVs, including five 300 class OSVs, and two MPSVs on various dates from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company plans to stack one OSV during the second quarter of 2017 and one additional OSV during the third quarter of 2017. The Company may choose to stack or reactivate additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expenses. G&A expenses are expected to be in the approximate range of $12.0 million to $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2017, and $43.0 million to $48.0 million for the full-year 2017.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2017 are projected to be $24.7 million, $3.7 million, $13.7 million, $0.4 million, $13.8 million, 36.6 million and 37.4 million, respectively. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be between 34.0% and 35.0% for fiscal 2017 and between 34.0% and 38.0% for fiscal 2018. These ranges do not include the anticipated impact from the adoption in 2017 of new accounting guidance related to the income tax treatment of compensation from share-based awards. This new accounting standard will cause volatility in the Company's effective tax rates in the periods when outstanding stock options are exercised or restricted stock awards vest.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of February 15, 2017, the Company has placed 22 vessels in service under this program. The two remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program, which are 400 class MPSVs, are currently expected to be delivered in the first and third quarters of 2018, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of December 31, 2016. Based on the projected MPSV in-service dates, the Company expects to own eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 8.0, 9.3 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $26.0 million and $45.0 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through December 31, 2016, the Company has incurred $1,264.0 million, or 94.7%, of total expected project costs, including $1.0 million that was spent during the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2017.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $8.4 million and $14.5 million for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 186 and 228 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2017 and 2018, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers, and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $217.0 million. In addition, the Company has an undrawn revolving line of credit with a current borrowing base of $200 million, which, under certain circumstances, is likely to be capped at $75 million during a portion of fiscal 2017. This credit facility is available for all uses of proceeds, including working capital, if necessary. While the Company remains in compliance with all covenants under the facility, its ability to access the full amount of the borrowing base is subject to an anti-cash hoarding provision that, pro forma for deployment of the use of proceeds, limits the Company's cash balance to $50 million at any time the facility is drawn. The Company projects that, even with the current depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments at least through the end of its current guidance period ending December 31, 2018. However, the Company does not currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay its three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding that mature in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, as they come due, absent a refinancing or restructuring of such debt. Refinancing in the current climate is not likely to be achievable on terms that are in-line with the Company's historic cost of debt capital. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and continues to review its capital structure and assess its strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low or further declines in oil and natural gas prices; continued weakness in demand for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters, vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; industry risks; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; recent disruption in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over capacity for existing demand levels in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or adverse changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect common stock or note repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's currently undrawn revolving credit facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

COVINGTON, La., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of 2016 of $(16.5) million, or $(0.45) per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(20.6) million, or $(0.57) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. Included in the Company's third quarter 2015 net income was a gain of $11.0 million ($6.7 million after-tax or $0.19 per diluted share) related to the August 2015 sale of the fourth and final 250EDF class OSV to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2015 would have been $7.7 million, and $0.21 per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2016 were 36.3 million compared to 36.4 million and 36.2 million for the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was $15.2 million compared to $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the third quarter 2015 gain on sale of assets, EBITDA for such quarter would have been $49.3 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $51.9 million for the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $64.4 million, or 55.3%, from $116.3 million for the third quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $1.8 million, or 3.4%, from $53.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to soft market conditions worldwide, which led to the Company's decision to stack 28 incremental OSVs on various dates since June 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 45 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had an average of 44.1 vessels stacked compared to 18.1 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 41.9 vessels in the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $3.0 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of five vessels that were placed in service since June 2015 under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program. Operating loss was $(14.4) million, or (27.8)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to operating income of $32.8 million, or 28.2% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and operating loss of $(21.5) million, or (40.1)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2016. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2016 were $25,639 compared to $25,699 for the same period in 2015 and $26,642 for the second quarter of 2016. New generation OSV utilization was 22.0% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 50.3% for the year-ago quarter and 23.9% for the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to soft market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 76.3%, 72.2% and 73.8% for the same periods, respectively. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the third quarter of 2016 were $5,641 compared to $12,927 for the same period in 2015 and $6,367 for the second quarter of 2016.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $29.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $25.6 million, or 46.5%, from $54.9 million for the third quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $4.9 million, or 14.3%, from $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company removed from its active fleet count through its stacking strategy since June 2015, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount, mariner pay cuts and reductions in other operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by $3.7 million of operating costs related to the full or partial-period contribution from newbuilds added to the Company's fleet since June 2015.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses were $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $12.2 million for the third quarter of 2015; and $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to lower shoreside compensation expense and to a lesser extent a decrease in bad debt reserves. Shoreside compensation expense was lower due to workforce reductions that were implemented in late 2015 and during the first nine months of 2016, as well as lower long-term and short-term incentive compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, or $0.7 million higher than the year-ago quarter and $0.4 lower than the sequential quarter. Depreciation increased by $2.5 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of five vessels that were placed in service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since June 2015. The depreciation increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $1.8 million, which was mainly driven lower by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Depreciation expense is expected to increase from current levels as the vessels under the Company's current newbuild program are placed in service. Amortization expense is expected to decrease as the result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked.
Gain on Sale of Assets. Included in third quarter 2016 net income was an $81,000 ($53,000 after-tax or $0.00 per diluted share) gain on the sale of certain vessel-related equipment for cash consideration of $0.1 million. Included in third quarter 2015 net income was an $11.0 million ($6.7 million after-tax and $0.19 per diluted share) gain on the sale of one 250EDF class OSV to the U.S. Navy, which closed on August 28, 2015 for cash proceeds to the Company of $38.0 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $12.8 million during the third quarter of 2016, or $3.1 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's nearly completed newbuild program. The Company recorded $4.2 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 25% of its total interest costs, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $6.3 million, or roughly 39% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Nine Month Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2016 decreased 52.9% to $182.4 million compared to $387.4 million for the same period in 2015. Operating loss was $(36.7) million, or (20.1)% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2016 compared to operating income of $139.1 million, or 35.9% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net income for the first nine months of 2016 decreased $114.1 million to a net loss of $(44.6) million, or $(1.23) per diluted share, compared to net income of $69.5 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2015. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2016 decreased 77.3% to $50.3 million compared to $221.4 million for the first nine months of 2015. The Company recorded a $36,000 ($23,000 after-tax or $0.00 per diluted share) pre-tax gain on sale of assets during the first nine months of 2016. This gain resulted from the sale of the Company's last remaining non-core conventional OSV, the Cape Breton, and certain vessel-related equipment. The Company recorded a $44.1 million ($27.6 million after-tax or $0.76 per diluted share) pre-tax gain on sale of assets during the first nine months of 2015. This gain resulted from the February 2015 and August 2015 sales of four 250EDF class OSVs previously chartered to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, operating income, net income, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first nine months of 2015 would have been $95.0 million, $41.9 million, $1.16 per share and $177.3 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from soft market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack 40 OSVs on various dates from December 2014 through September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had an average of 39.9 vessels stacked compared to 15.1 vessels stacked in the prior-year period. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by $13.3 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of eight vessels that were placed in-service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since December 2014.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 11 and 12. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially given the volatility inherent in the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible additional share repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's fleet consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the fiscal 2016 and 2018 MPSV newbuild deliveries discussed below. With an average of 41.5 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2016, the Company's active fleet for 2016 is expected to be comprised of an average of 20.4 new generation OSVs and 6.7 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 48.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 14.0 new generation OSVs and 8.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $29.0 million to $34.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, and $133.0 million to $138.0 million for the full-year 2016. Reflected in the cash opex guidance range above are the anticipated results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 48 new generation OSVs, including eight 300 class OSVs, on various dates from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. Since the end of the quarter, the Company has stacked one 240 class OSV and plans to stack two additional OSVs, including one 300 class OSV, during the fourth quarter of 2016 and may choose to stack additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expenses. G&A expenses are expected to be in the approximate range of $10.0 million to $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, and $40.0 million to $41.0 million for the full-year 2016.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2016 are projected to be $24.7 million, $3.9 million, $13.6 million, $1.2 million, $11.3 million, 36.4 million and 37.2 million, respectively. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be between 40.0% and 45.0% for fiscal 2016 and 34.5% for fiscal 2017.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of November 2, 2016, the Company has placed 22 vessels in service under this program. The two remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program are currently expected to be delivered in the first and third quarters of 2018, respectively.
The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs, including two newbuilds delivered in the first quarter of 2016. These vessel deliveries result in an average new generation OSV fleet complement of 61.9 and 62.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016 and 2017, of which 41.5 and 48.0 vessels are projected to be stacked, respectively. Based on the projected vessel in-service dates and recent deliveries during the third quarter of 2016, the Company expects to own and operate eight, eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 6.7, 8.0, 9.3 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $68.2 million, $21.8 million and $43.3 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through September 30, 2016, the Company has incurred $1,263.0 million, or 94.6%, of total expected project costs, including $6.8 million that was spent during the third quarter of 2016. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $6.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $10.8 million and $7.7 million for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 204 and 121 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016 and 2017, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers, and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $17.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 353 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Liquidity Outlook
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $225.5 million. The Company projects that, even with the current depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments at least through the end of its current guidance period. The Company has three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding that mature in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and existing covenants in its revolving credit agreement constrain the Company's ability to access that undrawn facility. The Company remains fully cognizant of the challenges currently facing the offshore oil and gas industry and is proactively taking steps to protect the business enterprise. Accordingly, the Company has engaged the advisory firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance, LLC to begin the process of independently reviewing its capital structure and assessing strategic options.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained or further declines in oil and natural gas prices; a sustained weakening of demand for the Company's services; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters, vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance ("O&M") contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; industry risks; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; recent disruption in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over capacity in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate or acquire; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; or fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect share repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's recently amended and currently undrawn revolving credit facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 988, 974 and 992 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. Stock options representing rights to acquire 317 and 326 shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, because the effect was antidilutive after considering the exercise price of the options in comparison to the average market price, proceeds from exercise, taxes and related unamortized compensation. As of September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016, and September 30, 2015, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of September 30, 2016. Excluded from this data are eight MPSVs owned and operated by the Company. | |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | |
5 |
Average utilization rates are average rates based on a 365-day year. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the utilization rate for the respective period. | |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | |
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that these ratios can be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• |

COVINGTON, La., Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. Following is an executive summary for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2016 of $(20.6) million, or $(0.57) per diluted share, compared to net income of $19.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(7.5) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. Diluted common shares for the second quarter of 2016 were 36.2 million compared to 36.3 million and 36.1 for the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was $6.9 million compared to $66.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $28.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $53.7 million for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $82.7 million, or 60.6%, from $136.4 million for the second quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $23.1 million, or 30.1%, from $76.8 million for the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to soft market conditions worldwide, which led to the Company's decision to stack 31 incremental OSVs on various dates since March 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 44 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had an average of 41.9 vessels stacked compared to 17.6 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 33.7 vessels in the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $4.5 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of four vessels that were placed in service since March 2015 under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program. Operating loss was $(21.5) million, or (40.1)% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to operating income of $39.4 million, or 28.8% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter; and operating loss of $(0.8) million, or (1.0)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2016. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2016 were $26,642 compared to $28,178 for the same period in 2015 and $24,601 for the first quarter of 2016. New generation OSV utilization was 23.9% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 56.2% for the year-ago quarter and 35.1% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 73.8%, 79.9% and 77.4% for the same periods, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to soft market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the second quarter of 2016 were $6,367 compared to $15,836 for the same period in 2015 and $8,635 for the first quarter of 2016.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $23.2 million, or 40.3%, from $57.5 million for the second quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $6.1 million, or 15.1%, from $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company removed from its active fleet count through its stacking strategy since March 2015, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount, mariner pay cuts and reductions in other operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by $3.3 million of operating costs related to the full or partial-period contribution from newbuilds added to the Company's fleet since March 2015.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses of $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2016 were 23.1% of revenues compared to $13.1 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2015; and $8.7 million, or 11.3% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to lower shoreside compensation expense. Shoreside compensation expense was lower due to workforce reductions that were implemented in late 2015 and during the first half of 2016, as well as lower short-term incentive compensation expense. This favorable variance was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in bad debt reserves. The sequential increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to an incremental $1.1 million in bad debt reserves, offset in part by $0.6 million of lower short-term incentive compensation expense related to the 2016 plan year. In addition, the first quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by $2.0 million of lower long-term stock-based incentive compensation expense and $1.1 million of lower short-term incentive compensation expense related to the 2015 plan year. After adjusting for these reconciling items, G&A expenses for the first two quarters of 2016 were comparable at $11.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, or $2.0 million higher than the year-ago quarter and in line with the sequential quarter. Depreciation increased by $2.5 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of four HOSMAX vessels that were placed in service since March 2015. The depreciation increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $0.5 million, which was mainly driven lower by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Depreciation expense is expected to increase from current levels as the vessels under the Company's current newbuild program are placed in service. Amortization expense is expected to decrease as the result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.0 million during the second quarter of 2016, or $1.1 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's newbuild program. The Company recorded $5.1 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 32% of its total interest costs, for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $6.1 million, or roughly 38% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Six Month Results
Revenue for the first six months of 2016 decreased 51.9% to $130.5 million compared to $271.1 million for the same period in 2015. Operating loss was $(22.3) million, or (17.1)% of revenues, for the first six months of 2016 compared to operating income of $106.3 million, or 39.2% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net income for the first six months of 2016 decreased $83.2 million to a net loss of $(28.1) million, or $(0.78) per diluted share, compared to net income of $55.1 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2015. EBITDA for the first six months of 2016 decreased 78.2% to $35.1 million compared to $161.1 million for the first six months of 2015. The Company recorded a $33.1 million ($20.7 million after tax and $0.57 per diluted share) pre-tax gain on sale of assets during the first six months of 2015. This gain resulted from the February 2015 sale of three 250EDF class OSVs previously chartered to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, operating income, net income, diluted EPS and EBITDA for the first six months of 2015 would have been $73.2 million, $34.4 million, $0.95 per share and $128.0 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in vessel revenues primarily resulted from soft market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack 39 OSVs on various dates from December 2014 through June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had an average of 37.8 vessels stacked compared to 13.5 vessels stacked in the prior-year period. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by $11.6 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of six vessels that were placed in-service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since December 2014.
Recent Developments
Revolving Credit Facility Amendment. On July 29, 2016, the Company amended its existing revolving credit facility as discussed below. The amended facility provides continued access to a reduced level of standby liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, newbuild and conversion programs and other capital expenditures. The borrowing base was reduced from $300 million to $200 million. The unused commitment fee was increased to 50 basis points for all pricing levels. The LIBOR spread for funded borrowings was increased by 25 basis points for all pricing levels, resulting in a new range of L+225 to L+325. The minimum collateral-to-loan value ratio under the amended facility was restored to its prior level of 200% of the borrowing base, which had been reduced to 150% of the borrowing base when the facility was amended and extended in February 2015. Accordingly, the number of vessels pledged as collateral was increased from 10 OSVs valued in excess of $450 million to 12 OSVs valued in excess of $400 million. None of the Company's remaining assets have been granted as security. The amended credit facility reduces the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.00x to 1.00x with step-ups to 1.25x in the third quarter of 2018 and 1.50x in the first quarter of 2019 and delays the step-down in the total debt-to-capitalization ratio from 55% to 50% by six quarters to the third quarter of 2018. The Company has the option of making a one-time election to suspend the interest coverage ratio for a holiday period of no more than four quarters, ending no later than the fourth quarter of 2017, with a single permitted rescission. If the Company elects to exercise the interest coverage holiday, then the borrowing base will be capped at $75 million during the period of the holiday and the LIBOR spreads for funded borrowings will be increased by an additional 50 basis points during and after the holiday. The Company's amended revolving credit facility also limits the Company's cash balance to $50 million at any time the facility is drawn, increases the minimum liquidity (cash and revolver availability) level required for prepayment of the Company's 2019 convertible senior notes, 2020 senior notes, and 2021 senior notes from $100 million to $150 million, and increases the minimum liquidity level required to permit a merger, formation or acquisition of a subsidiary or an investment (other than certain permitted investments) from $20 million to $100 million. However, the foregoing is only a summary of some of the more significant amendments, is not necessarily complete, and is qualified by the full text of the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which will be included as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K related to this matter dated July 29, 2016, expected to be filed on or about August 4, 2016. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of its existing revolving credit facility for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and through the date of the First Amendment, and remains in compliance thereafter. Such Amendment was effective July 29, 2016, but is generally applicable commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 and August 3, 2016, there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facility.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events during the Company's guidance period as set forth on pages 12 and 13. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially given the volatility inherent in the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, modifications or divestitures, business combinations, possible additional share repurchases or financings that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of June 30, 2016, the Company's fleet consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and six MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the anticipated fiscal 2016 and 2018 MPSV newbuild deliveries discussed below. With an average of 42.5 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2016, the Company's active fleet for 2016 is expected to be comprised of an average of 19.4 new generation OSVs and 6.7 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 48.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 14.0 new generation OSVs and 8.0 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $30.0 million to $35.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, and $135.0 million to $145.0 million for the full-year 2016. Reflected in the cash opex guidance range above are the anticipated results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 48 new generation OSVs, including eight 300 class OSVs, on various dates since October 1, 2014, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. Since the end of the quarter, the Company has stacked one 300 class OSV and plans to stack three additional OSVs, including one 300 class OSV, during the third quarter of 2016 and may choose to stack additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expenses. G&A expenses are expected to be in the approximate range of $10.0 million to $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, and $40.0 million to $43.0 million for the full-year 2016.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2016 are projected to be $23.6 million, $4.2 million, $13.9 million, $0.5 million, $13.8 million, 36.3 million and 37.3 million, respectively. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be roughly 35.0% for fiscal 2016 and 34.5% for fiscal 2017.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company also announced today that it has reached an agreement with the shipyard to postpone the delivery of the final two MPSVs to be delivered under this program to the first and second quarters of 2018 without any additional cost to the Company. In addition, the payment terms for the remainder of the contract were adjusted to shift $43.3 million of construction milestone draws from the remainder of 2016 and 2017 into 2018. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of August 3, 2016, the Company has placed 20 vessels in-service under this program. The four remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program are currently expected to be delivered in accordance with the table below:

The Company owns 62 new generation OSVs, including two newbuilds delivered in the first quarter of 2016. These vessel deliveries result in an average new generation OSV fleet complement of 61.9 and 62.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016 and 2017, of which 42.5 and 48.0 vessels are projected to be stacked, respectively. Based on the above schedule of projected vessel in-service dates, the Company expects to own and operate eight, eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 6.7, 8.0, 9.4 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $67.7 million, $22.3 million and $43.3 million are expected to be incurred in the full fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2016, the Company has incurred $1,256.2 million, or 94.1%, of total expected project costs, including $25.0 million that was spent during the second quarter of 2016. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $9.2 million during the third quarter of 2016.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $10.8 million and $7.7 million for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 211 and 120 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016 and 2017, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers, and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $16.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 248 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Liquidity Outlook
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $224.5 million and an undrawn $300.0 million revolving credit facility. On July 29, 2016, the Company amended the terms of its existing revolving credit facility. Among the amended terms, the borrowing base was reduced from $300 million to $200 million. The Company projects that, even with the current depressed operating levels, cash generated from operations together with cash on hand should be sufficient to fund its operations and commitments at least through the end of its current guidance period without drawing on its revolving credit facility. The Company has three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding that mature in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company anticipates addressing each of these tranches of debt well in advance of their respective maturities, either by refinancing or otherwise retiring such debt. While the Company has an authorized share repurchase program, it will continue to prioritize its usage of cash appropriate to the current market cycle and its longer term commitments.

The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained or further declines in oil and natural gas prices; a sustained weakening of demand for the Company's services; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters, vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance ("O&M") contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; industry risks; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; recent disruption in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; sustained vessel over capacity in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; upon a return to improved operating conditions, the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active vessels or vessels the Company may reactivate; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; or fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs; the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits; or the inability of the Company to refinance or otherwise retire funded debt obligations that come due in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect share repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's recently amended and currently undrawn revolving credit facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 992, 966 and 939 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. Stock options representing rights to acquire 326 and 332 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, because the effect was antidilutive after considering the exercise price of the options in comparison to the average market price, proceeds from exercise, taxes and related unamortized compensation. As of June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, and June 30, 2015, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. | ||
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of June 30, 2016. Excluded from this data are six MPSVs owned and operated by the Company. | ||
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. | ||
5 |
Average utilization rates are average rates based on a 365-day year. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. | ||
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. | ||
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. | ||
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the utilization rate for the respective period. | ||
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. | ||
10 |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure | ||
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | |||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | |||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | |||
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that these ratios can be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | |||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | |||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | ||
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | |||
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | ||
12 |
The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | ||
13 |
As of August 3, 2016, the Company's inactive fleet of 45 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: eleven 200 class OSVs, twenty-four 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and seven 300 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to stack two 240 class OSVs and one 300 class OSV during the third quarter of 2016. | ||
14 |
The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur. | ||
15 |
Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019. | ||
16 |
Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53. |

COVINGTON, La., May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Following are highlights for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the first quarter of 2016 of $(7.5) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, compared to net income of $35.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and a net loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. Included in the Company's first quarter 2015 net income was a gain of $33.1 million ($20.7 million after-tax or $0.57 per diluted share) related to the February 2015 sale of three 250EDF class OSVs to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, net income and diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2015 would have been $15.2 million, and $0.42 per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the first quarter of 2016 were 36.1 million compared to 36.1 million and 35.9 for the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2015, respectively. GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 was $28.2 million compared to $94.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $32.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the first quarter 2015 gain on sale of assets, EBITDA for such quarter would have been $61.7 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $76.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $57.8 million, or 42.9%, from $134.6 million for the first quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $11.9 million, or 13.4%, from $88.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to soft market conditions worldwide, which led to the Company's decision to stack 32 incremental OSVs on various dates since December 2014. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 37 OSVs stacked. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had an average of 33.7 vessels stacked compared to 9.5 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 26.8 in the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $9.8 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of six vessels that were placed in service since December 2014 under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program and a newbuild HOSMAX 300 class OSV that was converted into a HOSMAX 300 class MPSV and returned to service during the second quarter of 2015. Operating loss was $(0.8) million, or (1.0)% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2016, compared to operating income of $33.8 million, or 25.1% of revenues, for the comparably calculated prior-year quarter; and operating income of $4.5 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2015. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2016 were $24,601 compared to $26,705 for the same period in 2015 and $24,033 for the fourth quarter of 2015. New generation OSV utilization was 35.1% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 64.7% for the year-ago quarter and 46.3% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 77.4%, 76.6% and 84.4% for the same periods, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to soft market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the first quarter of 2016 were $8,635 compared to $17,278 for the same period in 2015 and $11,127 for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 34.2%, from $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2015; and a decrease of $5.0 million, or 11.0%, from $45.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company removed from its active fleet count since December 2014, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount and other operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by $3.8 million of operating costs related to the full or partial-period contribution from newbuilds added to the Company's fleet since December 2014.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses of $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2016 were 11.3% of revenues compared to $11.9 million, or 8.8% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2015; and $11.2 million, or 12.6% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to lower short-term and long-term shoreside incentive compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, or $1.0 million and $0.8 million higher than the year-ago quarter and sequential quarter, respectively. Depreciation increased by $2.2 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of six HOSMAX vessels that were placed in service since December 2014 and the MPSV conversion of one HOSMAX 300 class OSV. The depreciation increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $1.2 million, which was mainly driven by postponed recertifications for certain of the Company's stacked OSVs. Depreciation expense is expected to increase from current levels as the vessels under the Company's current newbuild program are placed in service. Amortization expense is expected to decrease as the result of the deferral of regulatory recertification activities for vessels that have been stacked.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets. Included in first quarter 2016 results was a $45,000 ($31,000 after-tax or $0.00 per diluted share) loss on the sale of the Company's last remaining non-core conventional OSV, the Cape Breton, which closed on March 30, 2016. Included in first quarter 2015 results was a $33.1 million ($20.7 million after-tax and $0.57 per diluted share) gain on the sale of three 250EDF class OSVs, the HOS Arrowhead, the HOS Eagleview and the HOS Westwind, to the U.S. Navy, which closed on February 27, 2015.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2016, or $0.8 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period driven by a lower average construction work-in-progress balance under the Company's newbuild program. The Company recorded $5.0 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 31% of its total interest costs, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $5.8 million, or roughly 36% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially given the volatility inherent in the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions or divestitures, business combinations, possible additional share repurchases, financings or the unannounced expansion of existing newbuild programs that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 8 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of March 31, 2016, the Company's fleet consisted of 62 new generation OSVs and six MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the anticipated fiscal 2016 and 2017 MPSV newbuild deliveries discussed below. With an average of 42.1 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2016, the Company's active fleet for 2016 is expected to be comprised of an average of 19.8 new generation OSVs and 6.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 46.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 16.0 new generation OSVs and 8.7 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $37.0 million to $42.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, and $150.0 million to $165.0 million for the full-year 2016. Reflected in the cash opex guidance range above are the anticipated results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 42 new generation OSVs, including five 300 class OSVs, on various dates since October 1, 2014, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company currently plans to stack four additional OSVs, including one 300 class OSV, during the second quarter of 2016 and may choose to stack additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expenses. G&A expenses are expected to be in the approximate range of $11.0 million to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, and $42.0 million to $47.0 million for the full-year 2016.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2016 are projected to be $22.8 million, $5.8 million, $11.7 million, $0.5 million, $11.3 million, 36.2 million and 37.0 million, respectively. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017 is provided on page 12 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be roughly 31.5% for fiscal 2016 and 33.0% for fiscal 2017.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of May 4, 2016, the Company has placed 20 vessels in-service under this program. The four remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program are currently expected to be delivered in accordance with the table below:

Based on recent deliveries during the first quarter of 2016, the Company now owns 62 new generation vessels. These vessel deliveries result in an average new generation OSV fleet complement of 61.9 and 62.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016 and 2017, of which 42.1 and 46.0 vessels are projected to be stacked, respectively. Based on the above schedule of projected vessel in-service dates, the Company expects to own and operate eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2016, and 2017, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 6.9, 8.7 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $98.3 million and $35.0 million are expected to be incurred in fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. From the inception of this program through March 31, 2016, the Company has incurred $1,231.2 million, or 92.2%, of total expected project costs, including $29.5 million that was spent during the first quarter of 2016. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $41.8 million during the second quarter of 2016.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $9.8 million and $20.3 million for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 130 and 312 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016 and 2017, respectively, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 11 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers, and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $15.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. These cash outlays are expected to be incurred over approximately 185 days of aggregate commercial downtime in 2016, during which the vessels will not earn revenue.
Liquidity Outlook
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $255.8 million and an undrawn $300.0 million revolving credit facility. Together with cash on-hand, the Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover all of its growth capital expenditures for the remaining four HOSMAX vessels under construction, commercial-related capital expenditures, and all of its annually recurring cash debt service, maintenance capital expenditures and cash income taxes through the completion of the newbuild program, as well as discretionary share repurchases from time to time, without ever having to use its currently undrawn revolving credit facility. The Company has three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding that mature in fiscal 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. While the Company has an authorized share repurchase program, it will continue to prioritize its usage of cash appropriate to the current market cycle.

The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low oil and natural gas prices; significant and sustained or additional declines in oil and natural gas prices; a sustained weakening of demand for the Company's services; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters, vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance ("O&M") contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; industry risks; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; less than expected growth in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; the level of fleet additions by the Company and its competitors that could result in vessel over capacity in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active and newly constructed vessels; the inability of the Company to obtain amendments under its revolving credit facility on terms acceptable to the Company; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; or fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs or the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect share repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of the Company's currently undrawn revolving credit facility, which would require an amendment of such facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

Due to net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company excluded the dilutive effect of equity awards representing the rights to acquire 939 and 894 shares of common stock, respectively, because the effect was anti-dilutive. Stock options representing rights to acquire 337 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, because the effect was antidilutive after considering the exercise price of the options in comparison to the average market price, proceeds from exercise, taxes and related unamortized compensation. As of March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2015, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes. |
3 |
The Company owned 62 new generation OSVs as of March 31, 2016. Excluded from this data are six MPSVs owned and operated by the Company. |
4 |
In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period. |
5 |
Average utilization rates are average rates based on a 365-day year. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues. |
6 |
Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days. |
7 |
Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues. |
8 |
Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the utilization rate for the respective period. |
9 |
Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measure |
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. | ||
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. | ||
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. | ||
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that these ratios can be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility. | ||
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities. | ||
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its vessels, | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the Company will eventually have to pay once it is no longer in an overall tax net operating loss position, as applicable, and | |
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working capital position. | |
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results. | ||
11 |
Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another. | |

The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable. | |

As of May 4, 2016, the Company's inactive fleet of 42 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: eleven 200 class OSVs, twenty-three 240 class OSVs, three 265 class OSVs and five 300 class OSVs. In addition, the Company plans to stack three 240 class OSVs and one 300 class OSV during the remainder of the second quarter of 2016. | |

COVINGTON, La., Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE:HOS) announced today results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015. Following are highlights for this period and the Company's future outlook:
The Company recorded a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 of $(2.7) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the year-ago quarter; and net income of $14.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. Included in the Company's third quarter 2015 net income was a gain of $11.0 million ($6.7 million after-tax or $0.19 per diluted share) related to the August 2015 sale of the final 250EDF class OSV to the U.S. Navy. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2015 would have been $7.7 million, and $0.21 per share, respectively. Diluted common shares for the fourth quarter of 2015 were 35.9 million compared to 36.4 million for each of the fourth quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015. The fourth quarter 2015 share count was lower because GAAP requires the use of basic shares outstanding for diluted EPS when reporting a net loss. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $32.2 million compared to $67.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the third quarter 2015 gain on sale of assets, EBITDA for the third quarter would have been $49.3 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the accompanying data tables.
Revenues. Revenues were $88.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of $71.5 million, or 44.6%, from $160.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014; and a decrease of $27.6 million, or 23.7%, from $116.3 million for the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily due to soft market conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, or GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack 28 OSVs on various dates between October 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015. Post quarter-end, the Company has stacked an additional five new generation OSVs to-date and has one additional vessel pending to be stacked during the remainder of the first quarter of 2016. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company had an average of 26.8 vessels stacked compared to 3.3 vessels stacked in the prior-year quarter and 18.1 in the sequential quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was partially offset by $7.1 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of seven vessels that were placed in service since September 2014 under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program. Operating income was $4.5 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $36.7 million, or 22.9% of revenues, for the comparably calculated prior-year quarter; and $21.8 million, or 18.7% of revenues, for the comparably calculated third quarter of 2015. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $24,033 compared to $27,623 for the same period in 2014 and $25,699 for the third quarter of 2015. New generation OSV utilization was 46.3% for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 75.7% for the year-ago quarter and 50.3% for the sequential quarter. Excluding stacked vessel days, the Company's new generation OSV effective utilization was 84.4%, 80.0% and 72.2% for the same periods, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in utilization is primarily due to soft market conditions for high-spec OSVs operating in the GoM and the incremental vessels that were stacked. Utilization-adjusted, or effective, new generation OSV dayrates for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $11,127 compared to $20,911 for the same period in 2014 and $12,927 for the third quarter of 2015.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $45.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of $34.7 million, or 43.3%, from $80.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014; and a decrease of $9.5 million, or 17.3%, from $54.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to vessels that the Company stacked since late 2014, which resulted in a substantial reduction in mariner headcount and other operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by $2.6 million of operating costs related to the full or partial-period contribution from vessels added to the Company's fleet since September 2014.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses of $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 were 12.6% of revenues compared to $13.9 million, or 8.7% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2014; and $12.2 million, or 10.5% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to lower shoreside personnel expense and incentive compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $27.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, or $1.8 million lower than the prior-year quarter and $0.4 million higher than the sequential quarter. Depreciation increased by $2.2 million over the year-ago quarter primarily due to the contribution of seven new HOSMAX vessels that were placed in service on various dates since September 2014. The depreciation increase was more than offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $4.0 million, which was primarily due to five vessels sold on various dates since October 2014 and the deferral of planned drydockings for stacked vessels. Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to increase from current levels as the vessels under the Company's current newbuild program are placed in service and when any newly constructed vessels undergo their initial 30-month and 60-month recertifications.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $9.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, or $0.9 million higher than the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Company capitalizing a lower percentage of interest compared to the prior-year period. The Company recorded $6.5 million of capitalized construction period interest, or roughly 40% of its total interest costs, for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $7.3 million, or roughly 46% of its total interest costs, for the year-ago quarter.
Annual Results For Fiscal 2015
Revenue for fiscal 2015 decreased 25.0% to $476.1 million compared to $634.8 million for fiscal 2014. Operating income was $143.5 million, or 30.1% of revenues, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $169.4 million, or 26.7% of revenues, for the prior year. Net income for fiscal 2015 decreased $21.1 million to $66.8 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, compared to $87.9 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, for the prior year. EBITDA for fiscal 2015 decreased 11.1% to $253.6 million compared to $285.4 million for fiscal 2014. However, the Company recorded a $44.1 million ($27.6 million after tax and $0.76 per diluted share) gain on sale of assets during fiscal 2015 compared to $0.8 million ($0.5 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) gain on the sale of assets in the prior year. The fiscal 2015 gain resulted from the February 2015 and August 2015 sales of four 250EDF class OSVs previously chartered to the U.S. Navy for aggregate cash proceeds to the Company of $152 million. Excluding the impact of such gain on sale of assets, operating income, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS and EBITDA for fiscal 2015 would have been $99.4 million, 20.9%, $39.2 million, $1.08 per share and $209.5 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in revenues primarily resulted from soft market conditions in the GoM, which led to the Company's decision to stack 28 new generation OSVs on various dates between October 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company had an average of 18.0 vessels stacked compared to 0.8 vessels stacked in the prior year. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by $54.0 million in revenue earned from the full or partial-period contribution of 14 vessels that were placed in-service under the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program since December 2013.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future operating results and certain events. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially given the volatility inherent in the Company's industry. Other than as expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any significant further decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas; any additional future repositioning voyages; unexpected vessel repairs or shipyard delays; or future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions or divestitures, business combinations, possible additional stock buy-backs, financings or the unannounced expansion of existing newbuild programs that may be commenced after the date of this disclosure. Additional cautionary information concerning forward-looking statements can be found on page 9 of this news release.
Forward Guidance
The Company's forward guidance for selected operating and financial data, outlined below and in the attached data tables, reflects the current state of depressed commodity prices and planned decreases in the capital spending budgets of its customers.
Vessel Counts. As of December 31, 2015, excluding one inactive non-core conventional OSV, the Company's fleet consisted of 60 new generation OSVs and six MPSVs. The forecasted vessel counts presented in this press release reflect the anticipated fiscal 2016 and 2017 MPSV newbuild deliveries discussed below. With an average of 33.6 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2016, the Company's active fleet for 2016 is expected to be comprised of an average of 28.3 new generation OSVs and 6.9 MPSVs. With an assumed average of 34.0 new generation OSVs projected to be stacked during fiscal 2017, the Company's active fleet for 2017 is expected to be comprised of an average of 28.0 new generation OSVs and 8.7 MPSVs.
Operating Expenses. Aggregate cash operating expenses are projected to be in the range of $41.0 million to $46.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $170.0 million to $185.0 million for the full-year 2016. Not included in these costs is the expected lost revenue related to vessels during approximately 156 days of aggregate commercial-related downtime. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for commercial-related downtime (in days) for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Reflected in the cash opex guidance range above are the anticipated results of several cost containment measures initiated by the Company due to prevailing market conditions, including, among other actions, the stacking of 33 new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014, as well as company-wide headcount reductions and across-the-board pay-cuts for shoreside and vessel personnel. The Company currently plans to stack one additional high-spec OSV during the first quarter of 2016 and may choose to stack additional vessels as market conditions warrant. The cash operating expense estimate above is exclusive of any additional repositioning expenses the Company may incur in connection with the potential relocation of more of its vessels into international markets or back to the GoM, and any customer-required cost-of-sales related to future contract fixtures that are typically recovered through higher dayrates.
G&A Expenses. G&A expenses are expected to be in the approximate range of $11.5 million to $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $47.0 million to $52.0 million for the full-year 2016.
Other Financial Data. Quarterly depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes, cash interest expense, weighted-average basic shares outstanding and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2016 are projected to be $22.4 million, $6.4 million, $11.7 million, $1.5 million, $13.8 million, 36.1 million and 36.8 million, respectively. Guidance for depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, cash income taxes and cash interest expense for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017 is provided on page 13 of this press release. The Company's annual effective tax rate is expected to be roughly 30.0% for fiscal 2016 and 37.0% for fiscal 2017.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. The Company also announced today upgrades to the four remaining MPSVs under construction at two shipyards as part of its ongoing newbuild program. The modifications to the first two MPSVs, which are expected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2016, will increase the berthing capacity, expand the cargo-carrying capabilities and expand the work area for ROVs. The modifications to the other two MPSVs will include the addition of a 60-foot mid-body plug, installation of an additional crane, increased berthing capacity, expanded cargo-carrying capacities and expanded work areas for ROVs. These latter two MPSVs have been upgraded to a 400 class designation and are scheduled to deliver in the second and fourth quarters of 2017. The aggregate cost of these four conversions will be approximately $70.0 million and will extend the deliveries by an aggregate of 730 additional vessel-days. The Company's fifth OSV newbuild program now consists of four 300 class OSVs, five 310 class OSVs, ten 320 class OSVs, three 310 class MPSVs and two 400 class MPSVs. As of February 17, 2016, the Company has placed 20 vessels in-service under this program. The four remaining vessels under this 24-vessel domestic newbuild program are currently expected to be delivered in accordance with the table below:

Based on the updated schedule above of projected vessel in-service dates, the Company now expects to own 62 new generation OSVs as of December 31, 2016. These vessel additions result in a projected average new generation OSV fleet complement of 61.9 and 62.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016 and 2017, of which 33.6 and 34.0 vessels are projected to be stacked, respectively. Based on the foregoing, the Company now expects to own and operate eight and ten MPSVs as of December 31, 2016, and 2017, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average MPSV fleet complement of 6.9, 8.7 and 10.0 vessels for the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is now expected to be approximately $1,335.0 million, of which $86.4 million and $46.9 million are expected to be incurred in fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. From the inception of this program through December 31, 2015, the Company has incurred $1,201.7 million, or 90.0%, of total expected project costs, including $32.3 million that was spent during the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company expects to incur newbuild project costs of $36.5 million during the first quarter of 2016.
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data table on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period and by vessel type, of historical and projected data for drydock downtime (in days) and maintenance capital expenditures for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Maintenance capital expenditures, which are recurring in nature, primarily include regulatory drydocking charges incurred for the recertification of vessels and other vessel capital improvements that extend or maintain a vessel's economic useful life. The Company expects that its maintenance capital expenditures for its fleet of vessels will be approximately $21.5 million and $24.9 million for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Update on Other Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached data tables on page 12 of this press release for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for other capital expenditures, for each of the quarterly and/or annual periods presented for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Other capital expenditures, which are generally non-recurring, are comprised of the following: (i) commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment, or the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers, and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another; and (ii) non-vessel related capital expenditures, including costs related to the Company's shore-based facilities, leasehold improvements and other corporate expenditures, such as information technology or office furniture and equipment. The Company expects miscellaneous incremental commercial-related vessel improvements and non-vessel capital expenditures to be approximately $14.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, for the full fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Liquidity Outlook
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $259.8 million and an undrawn $300.0 million revolving credit facility. Together with cash on-hand, the Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover all of its growth capital expenditures for the remaining four HOSMAX vessels under construction, commercial-related capital expenditures, and all of its annually recurring cash debt service, maintenance capital expenditures and cash income taxes through the completion of the newbuild program, as well as discretionary share repurchases from time to time, without ever having to use its currently undrawn revolving credit facility. The Company has three tranches of funded unsecured debt outstanding that mature in fiscal 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. While the Company has an authorized share repurchase program, it will continue to prioritize its usage of cash appropriate to the current market cycle.

The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including sustained low oil and natural gas prices; significant and sustained or additional declines in oil and natural gas prices; a sustained weakening of demand for the Company's services; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters, vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; sustained or further reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; fewer than anticipated deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the effect of inconsistency by the United States government in the pace of issuing drilling permits and plan approvals in the GoM or other drilling regions; the Company's inability to successfully complete the remainder of its current vessel newbuild program on-time and on-budget, which involves the construction and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in the United States or another offshore drilling region that could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements; environmental litigation that impacts customer plans or projects; disputes with customers; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties or deductions imposed by foreign customers; industry risks; the impact stemming from the reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for or administrative barriers to exploration and production activities in Brazil; less than expected growth in Mexican offshore activities; age or other restrictions imposed on our vessels by customers; unanticipated difficulty in effectively competing in or operating in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure and field development demand in the GoM and other markets affecting our MPSVs; the level of fleet additions by the Company and its competitors that could result in vessel over capacity in the markets in which the Company competes; economic and geopolitical risks; weather-related risks; the shortage of or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, when needed, including vessel personnel for active and newly constructed vessels; any success in unionizing the Company's U.S. fleet personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act or changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents, pollution incidents, or other events resulting in lost revenue, fines, penalties or other expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; or fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs or the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the Company, such as the failure of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations or the failure by individual banks to provide funding under the Company's credit agreement, if required. Further, the Company can give no assurance regarding when and to what extent it will effect share repurchases. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and, if sufficiently severe, could result in noncompliance with certain covenants of our currently undrawn revolving credit facility. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filing, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

1 Represents other income and expenses, including equity in income from investments and foreign currency transaction gains or losses.
2 For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had 308, 322 and 317 anti-dilutive stock options, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Company had no anti-dilutive stock options. As of December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the 1.500% convertible senior notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock was less than the effective conversion price of $68.53 for such notes.
3 The Company owned 60 new generation OSVs as of December 31, 2015. Excluded from this data is one stacked conventional OSV that the Company considers to be a non-core asset. Also excluded from this data are six MPSVs owned and operated by the Company.
4 In response to weak market conditions, the Company elected to stack certain of its new generation OSVs on various dates since October 1, 2014. Active new generation OSVs represent vessels that are immediately available for service during each respective period.
5 Average utilization rates are average rates based on a 365-day year. Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues.
6 Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which excludes the impact of stacked vessel days.
7 Average new generation OSV dayrates represent average revenue per day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs generated revenues.
8 Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the utilization rate for the respective period.
9 Represents revenues from shore-based operations, vessel-management services, including from the O&M contract with the U.S. Navy, and ancillary equipment rentals, including from ROVs.
10 Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year.
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness.
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or Adjusted EBITDA, to internally evaluate its performance based on the computation of ratios used in certain financial covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders. The Company believes that these ratios can be material components of financial covenants and, when applicable, failure to comply with such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility.
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities.
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement the Company's GAAP results.
11 Commercial-related Downtime results from commercial-related vessel improvements, such as the addition of cranes, ROVs, helidecks, living quarters and other specialized vessel equipment; the modification of vessel capacities or capabilities, such as DP upgrades and mid-body extensions, which costs are typically included in and offset, in whole or in part, by higher dayrates charged to customers; and the speculative relocation of vessels from one geographic market to another.
12 The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are anticipated cash outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as applicable.
13 As of February 17, 2016, the Company's inactive fleet of 33 new generation OSVs that were "stacked" was comprised of the following: seven 200 class OSVs, twenty-three 240 class OSVs and three 265 class OSV. In addition, the Company plans to stack one 240 class OSV during the remainder of the first quarter of 2016.
14 The "low" and "high" ends of the guidance ranges set forth in this table are not intended to cover unexpected variations from currently anticipated market conditions. These ranges provide only a reasonable deviation from the conditions that are expected to occur.
15 Represents incremental imputed non-cash OID interest expense required by accounting standards pertaining to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019.
16 Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes. Warrants related to the Company's 1.500% convertible senior notes become dilutive when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective conversion price for such notes of $68.53.
