# LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Before beginning my commentary to shareholders, I would like to express my sympathy to all those affected by the pandemic.

Now to my remarks. Our initial expectations for 2020 were for higher activity and meaningful improvement in our financial results. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting degradation of the global energy market, we remained sharply focused on improving our future financial position. Through continued adherence to established COVID-19 protocols, we were able to minimize employee and customer workplace exposure while maintaining business continuity. As a result, the cost and process improvement program that enhanced the performance of our businesses enabled us to attain results within our original guidance range.

I am very proud of what we accomplished in 2020. With all of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the crude oil demand destruction and resulting pricing collapse in the first half of the year, and the many challenges faced in protecting our workforce and customers, Oceanering delivered improved consolidated adjusted operating results and adjusted EBITDA as compared to 2019. Despite the headwinds of lower activity in our energy segments, consolidated 2020 adjusted operating results and EBITDA improved year over year, led by our Manufactured Products and ADTech segments. In 2020, each of our segments, with the exception of Offshore Projects Group, contributed positive adjusted operating income, and all of our segments contributed positive adjusted EBITDA.

We generated $137 million in cash flow from operations and invested $61 million on capital expenditures during the year. This resulted in delivering meaningful free cash flow during the year, with our cash balance increasing by $78 million, from $374 million at December 31, 2019 to $452 million at December 31, 2020.

In 2020, we achieved significant improvement in our IMDS business, with adjusted operating results improving substantially over 2019. Our Subsea Robotics business, a recognized leader in work class ROV services, secured contracts with projected revenues totaling more than $225 million during the fourth quarter 2020. Our ADTech business met its performance targets established at the beginning of 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. The business also recorded several important incremental contract wins, including partnering with Dynetics to support their design of the Human Lunar Landing System for NASA; and a contract to operate and maintain the U.S. Navy’s submarine rescue systems, with potential revenue up to $119 million, assuming annual renewals over a five-year period. We also maintained our commitment and focus on safety, with our team continuing to identify high-hazard tasks and developing engineered solutions to mitigate risks.

We made meaningful progress on our sustainability efforts, through various environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. During 2020, we published our first sustainability report using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosure methodology.

- From an environmental perspective, we continued to advance our capabilities as a technology delivery company and to develop clean-energy technologies to assist our customers in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and meet their reduced emission goals. We also continued implementing measures to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from our own operations, including facility consolidations, employee remote work options, and increased recycling efforts.

- From a social perspective, we continue to explore new ways to make positive contributions in the communities where we operate, and to increase workforce diversity within our company.
- From a governance perspective, we are taking action at the board level as well. We announced the addition of two new board members and formalized our ESG reporting through our Board of Directors Nominating and Corporate Governance committee.

Coming into 2021, several industry projections pointed to continued headwinds for the offshore oil and gas market, with flattish activity as compared to 2020, due to the low level of project sanctioning over the last year, and continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. Recent actions by OPEC+ have been supportive of crude oil prices and provide us with some cautious optimism that activity levels could improve in the back half of this year. Regardless of the trajectory in activity levels, we are confident that the cost improvement measures and segment realignment implemented in 2020 have positioned us to succeed in the coming year. Energy transition will continue to be an important focus for us in 2021.

Our management and employees exhibited strength and resilience in their determination to perform, despite the unprecedented industry challenges of 2020. I thank this great group of talented people for their significant contributions. While we still have much work ahead to adapt and transition our businesses for further success, I am excited for the challenge and confident about our prospects for 2021.
And, to our shareholders, thank you for your continued support of Oceanering.

## Item 1. Business.

## GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Oceaneering International, Inc. is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry. Oceaneering also serves the offshore renewables, defense, aerospace and commercial theme park industries. Oceaneering was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1969 out of the combination of three diving service companies founded in the early 1960s. Since our establishment, we have concentrated on the development and marketing of underwater services and products to meet customer needs requiring the use of advanced technology. We believe we are one of the world's largest underwater services contractors. The services and products we provide to the energy industry include remotely operated vehicles, specialty subsea hardware, engineering and project management, subsea intervention services, including manned diving, survey and positioning services, seabed preparation and asset integrity and nondestructive testing services. Our foreign operations, principally in the North Sea, Africa, Brazil, Australia and Asia, accounted for approximately 53% of our revenue, or $967 million, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

## Realignment of Reportable Segments

As described in Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, in the third quarter of 2020, we changed our organizational structure as part of the transformation to realign our businesses to achieve greater cost efficiencies and to bring together business units that frequently work together and promote increased synergies in bidding, project management and the use of offshore technicians. As a result, information that our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we are reporting our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments and have recast certain prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally manage our businesses and monitor segment performance. Our new structure aligns our company around five reportable segments: (1) Subsea Robotics; (2) Manufactured Products; (3) Offshore Projects Group; (4) Integrity Management & Digital Solutions; and (5) Aerospace and Defense Technologies.

Our business segments are contained within two businesses – services and products provided primarily to the oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the offshore renewables and mobility solutions industries (“Energy Services and Products”) and services and products provided to non-energy industries (“Aerospace and Defense Technologies”). Our four business segments within the Energy Services and Products business are Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. We report our Aerospace and Defense Technologies business as one segment. Unallocated Expenses are expenses not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and bonuses, as well as other general expenses.

Energy Services and Products. The primary focus of our Energy Services and Products business over the last several years has been toward leveraging our asset base and capabilities for providing services and products for offshore energy operations and subsea completions, inclusive of our customers' operating expenses and the offshore renewable energy market.

Subsea Robotics. Our Subsea Robotics segment consists of our Remotely Operated Vehicles (“ROVs”), survey services and ROV tooling businesses, merging our underwater robotics and automation capabilities with our subsea delivery systems. Our Subsea Robotics segment consists of our prior ROV segment, and ROV tooling (previously in our Subsea Products segment) and survey services (previously in our Subsea Projects segment).

We provide ROVs, which are tethered submersible vehicles remotely operated from the surface, to customers in the energy industry for drilling support and vessel-based services, including subsea hardware installation, construction, pipeline inspection, survey and facilities inspection, maintenance and repair (“IMR”). We design, build, retrofit and upgrade our new and existing ROVs at in-house facilities, the largest of which is in Morgan City, Louisiana. In 2020, we added three ROVs to our fleet and retired three. Our work-class ROV fleet size was 250 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 275 as of December 31, 2018.



Manufactured Products. Our Manufactured Products segment consists of our manufactured products business (previously in our Subsea Products segment), as well as theme park entertainment systems and automated guided vehicles (“AGV”) (both previously in our Advanced Technologies segment).

Our Manufactured Products segment provides distribution systems such as production control umbilicals and connection systems made up of specialty subsea hardware, and provides turnkey solutions that include program management, engineering design, fabrication/assembly and installation to the commercial theme park industry and mobile robotics solutions, including AGV technology to a variety of industries.

We provide various types of subsea umbilicals through our Umbilical Solutions division from plants in the United States, Scotland and Brazil. Offshore operators use umbilicals to control subsea wellhead hydrocarbon flow rates, monitor downhole and wellhead conditions and perform chemical injection. Subsea umbilicals are also used to provide power and fluids to other subsea processing hardware, including pumps and gas separation equipment.

Offshore Projects Group. Our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”) segment consists of: (1) our prior Subsea Projects segment, less survey services and global data solutions; and (2) our service and rental business, less ROV tooling (previously in our Subsea Products segment). This combination brings together business units that frequently work together and promotes increased efficiency in bidding, project management, and the use of offshore technicians.

Our OPG segment provides a broad portfolio of integrated subsea project capabilities and solutions. Our OPG segment provides the following:

- subsea installation and intervention, including riserless light well intervention (“RLWI”) services and inspection, maintenance and repair (“IMR”) services, utilizing owned and chartered vessels;

• installation and workover control systems (“IWOCS”) and ROV workover control systems (“RWOCS”);

• project management and engineering; and

- seabed preparation, route clearance and trenching services for submarine cables for the renewable energy markets.

Our OPG segment provides services principally in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and offshore Angola, utilizing a fleet consisting of three owned and three chartered dynamically positioned deepwater vessels with integrated high-specification work-class ROVs onboard, and two owned shallow water diving support and survey vessels, other spot-chartered vessels and other assets. Our owned vessels are Jones Act-compliant. The dynamically positioned vessels are equipped with thrusters that allow them to maintain a constant position at a location without the use of anchors. They are used in the IMR of subsea facilities, pipeline or flowline tie-ins, pipeline crossings and installations. These vessels can also carry and install equipment or umbilicals required to bring subsea well completions into production (tie-back to production facilities). With our acquisition of Ecosse Subsea Limited (“Ecosse”) in 2018, further described below, we provide route clearance and trenching services.

We previously had several deepwater vessels under long-term charter. The last of our long-term charters expired in March 2018. With the current vessel market conditions, we have entered into some minimum-day, short-term, time charter party agreements and, for specific projects, we continue to charter on a back-to-back basis with the vessel owners. This generally minimizes our contract exposure by closely matching our obligations with our revenue.

In March 2018, we acquired Ecosse for approximately $68 million. Ecosse builds and operates tools for seabed preparation, route clearance and trenching for the installation of submarine cables and pipelines. These services are offered on an integrated basis that includes vessels, ROVs and survey services. Enabling technologies acquired in the transaction include Ecosse's modular seabed system, capable of completing the entire trenching work scope (route preparation, boulder clearance, trenching and backfill), and its newly developed trenching system. These systems primarily serve the shallow water offshore renewables market.

In the second quarter of 2019, we placed our new-build, Jones Act-compliant, multiservice vessel (“MSV”), the Ocean Evolution, into service. The Ocean Evolution is U.S.-flagged and documented with a coastwise endorsement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The vessel has an overall length of 353 feet, a Class 2 dynamic positioning system, accommodations for 110 personnel, a helideck, a 250-ton active heave-compensated crane, a working moonpool, and two of our high specification 4,000 meter work-class ROVs. The vessel has five low-emission Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) Tier 4 diesel engines. The Tier 4 rating is the EPA’s strictest emission requirements for non-road diesel engines. The vessel is also equipped with a satellite communications system capable of transmitting streaming video for real-time work observation by shore-based personnel. The vessel is being used to



augment our ability to provide subsea intervention services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. These services are required to perform IMR projects and hardware installations.

Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. Our IMDS segment consists of our prior Asset Integrity segment plus our global data solutions ("GDS") and maritime shipping businesses (both previously in our Subsea Projects segment). The inclusion of GDS in this segment facilitates optimized digital and software solutions to our integrity management services. Maritime shipping, an emerging business in GDS, provides essential vessel asset, scheduling and transportation data required by customers shipping cargo by sea to make informed, value-added decisions.

Through our IMDS segment, we provide asset integrity management, corrosion management, inspection and non-destructive testing services, principally to customers in the oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical industries. We perform these services on both onshore and offshore facilities, both topside and subsea. We also provide software, digital and connectivity solution for the energy industry and software and analytical solutions for the bulk cargo maritime industry.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. Our Aerospace and Defense Technologies (“ADTech”) segment consists of our government business (previously in our Advanced Technologies segment), focused on defense subsea technologies, marine services, and space systems.

Our ADTech segment provides government services and products including engineering and related manufacturing in defense and space exploration activities, principally to U.S. government agencies and their prime contractors.

General. During the last five years, we have also made several small acquisitions to add complementary technology or serve niche markets. We intend to continue our strategy of acquiring, as opportunities arise, additional assets or businesses, to improve our market position or expand into related service and product lines. However, our primary focus continues to be on capital discipline and generating positive free cash flows.

## DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

## MARKETING

Energy Services and Products. Oil and gas exploration and development expenditures fluctuate from year to year. In particular, budgetary approval for more expensive drilling and production in deepwater, an area in which we have a high degree of focus, may be postponed or suspended during periods when exploration and production companies reduce their offshore capital spending. In recent years, we have focused on increasing our service and product offerings toward our oil and gas customers' operating expenses and the offshore renewable energy market.

We market our Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions services and products to domestic, international and foreign national oil and gas companies engaged in offshore exploration, development and production. We also provide services and products as a subcontractor to other oilfield service companies operating as prime contractors. In addition, we market our



Manufactured Products mobile robotic solutions to domestic and international theme park operators, automotive manufacturers and retail warehousing operators. Customers for these services typically award contracts on a competitive-bid basis. These contracts are typically less than one year in duration, although we enter into multi-year contracts from time to time.

In connection with the services we perform in our Energy Services and Products business, we generally seek contracts that compensate us on a dayrate basis. Under dayrate contracts, the contractor provides the ROV, vessel or equipment and the required personnel to operate the unit and compensation is based on a rate per day for each day the unit is used. The typical dayrate depends on market conditions, the nature of the operations to be performed, the duration of the work, the equipment and services to be provided, the geographical areas involved and other variables. Dayrate contracts may also contain an alternate, lower dayrate that applies when a unit is moving to a new site or when operations are interrupted or restricted by equipment breakdowns, adverse weather or water conditions or other conditions beyond the contractor's control. Contracts for our product sales are generally for a fixed price.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. We market our engineered products and services primarily to U.S. government agencies and their prime contractors in defense and space exploration activities.

Major Customers. Our top five customers in 2020, 2019 and 2018 accounted for 32%, 32% and 39%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, four of our top five customers were oil and gas exploration and production companies served by our Energy Services and Products business segments, with the other one being the U.S. Navy or other parts of the U.S. Government, which is served by our Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue during 2020. During 2019, revenue from one customer, BP plc and subsidiaries, accounted for 10% of our total consolidated annual revenue. During 2018, revenue from Royal Dutch Shell and subsidiaries accounted for 10% of our total consolidated annual revenue.

Although we do not depend on any one customer, the loss of one of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

## RAW MATERIALS

Most of the raw materials we use in our manufacturing operations, such as steel in various forms, copper, electronic components and plastics, are available from many sources. However, some components we use to manufacture subsea umbilicals are available from limited sources. With the exception of certain kinds of steel tube, where we are limited in the number of available suppliers, we can offer alternative materials or technologies in many cases, which depends on the requisite approval of our customers. We believe we have secured a sufficient amount of steel tubes to satisfy existing backlog and anticipated orders to be produced in 2021.

## COMPETITION

Our businesses operate in highly competitive industry segments.

## Energy Services and Products

We are one of several companies that provide underwater services and specialty subsea hardware on a worldwide basis. We compete for contracts with companies that have worldwide operations, as well as numerous others operating locally in various areas. We believe that our ability to safely provide a wide range of underwater services and products on a worldwide basis enables us to compete effectively in all phases of the offshore oilfield life cycle. In some cases involving projects that require less sophisticated equipment, small companies have been able to bid for contracts at prices uneconomical to us. Additionally, in some jurisdictions we are subject to foreign governmental regulations favoring or requiring the awarding of contracts to local contractors or requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These regulations may adversely affect our ability to compete.

The adverse impacts of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the resulting supply and demand imbalance along with lower crude oil prices are resulting in lower levels of activity and profitability. As we expect a recovery will take time to restore profitability and generate satisfactory returns, we have been reviewing our cost structure and aggressively implementing cost improvement initiatives.



Subsea Robotics. We believe we are the world's largest owner/operator of work-class ROVs employed in energy related operations. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 250 work-class ROVs. We compete with several major companies on a worldwide basis and with numerous others operating locally in various areas. Competition for ROV services, including ROV tooling, historically has been based on equipment availability, location of or ability to deploy the equipment, quality of service and price. The relative importance of these factors can vary over time based on market conditions. The ability to develop improved equipment and techniques and to train and retain skilled personnel is also an important competitive factor in our markets.

Our survey and positioning services, along with our seabed preparation, route clearance and trenching services, operate in a competitive environment as one of several companies that provide these services.

Manufactured Products. With our manufactured products business, we are one of several companies that compete on a worldwide basis for the provision of steel tube and thermoplastic control umbilicals, and, compared to current and forecasted market demand for the currently foreseeable future, we are faced with some overcapacity in the umbilical manufacturing market.

Within our mobility solutions businesses, there are many competitors offering specialized services and products, both on a regional and global basis.

Offshore Projects Group. We perform subsea intervention and hardware installation services, principally in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and offshore Angola, from multiservice deepwater vessels. We are one of many companies that offer these services. In general, our competitors can move their vessels to where we operate from other locations with relative ease. We also have many competitors that supply commercial diving services to the oil and gas industry in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Within our service and rental business, there are many competitors offering specialized services and products both on a regional and global basis.

Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. The worldwide asset integrity and inspection markets consist of a wide range of inspection and certification requirements in many industries. We currently compete in only selected portions of this market. We are expanding our integrity management services into adjacent markets and are developing our digitization services. We believe that our broad geographic sales and operational coverage, long history of operations, technical and safety reputation, application of various inspection technologies and accreditation to international quality standards enable us to compete effectively in our selected asset integrity and inspection services market segments.

## Aerospace and Defense Technologies

Engineering services is a very broad market with a large number of competitors. We compete in specialized areas in which we can combine our extensive program management experience, mechanical engineering expertise and the capability to continue the development of conceptual project designs into the manufacture of custom equipment for customers.

## SEASONALITY AND BACKLOG

We generate a material amount of our consolidated revenue from contracts for services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in our Offshore Projects Group segment, which is usually more active in the second and third quarters, as compared to the rest of the year. The European operations of our Integrity Management & Digital Solutions segment are also seasonally more active in the second and third quarters. Revenue in our Subsea Robotics segment is subject to seasonal variations in demand, with our first quarter generally being the low quarter of the year. The level of our Subsea Robotics seasonality depends on the number of ROVs we have engaged in vessel-based subsea infrastructure IMR and installation, which is more seasonal than drilling support. Revenue in each of our Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments generally has not been seasonal.

No material portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts by the U.S. Government.

## PATENTS AND LICENSES

We currently hold numerous U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications. We have acquired patents and licenses and granted licenses to others when we have considered it advantageous for us to do so. Although in the aggregate our patents and licenses are important to us, we do not regard any single patent or license or group of related patents or licenses as critical or essential to our business as a whole. In general, we depend on our technological capabilities and the application of know-how rather than patents and licenses in the conduct of our operations.

## REGULATION

Our operations are affected from time to time and in varying degrees by foreign and domestic political developments and foreign, federal and local laws and regulations, including those relating to:

• operating from and around offshore drilling, production and marine facilities;

• national preference for local equipment and personnel;

• marine vessel safety;

• protection of the environment, including pollution and climate change;

• workplace health and safety;

• data privacy;

• taxation;

• license requirements for exportation of our equipment and technology; and

• currency conversion and repatriation.

In addition, our Energy Services and Products business primarily depends on the demand for our services and products from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry generally. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing offshore exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic and other policy reasons would adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our services. We cannot determine the extent to which new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations may affect our future operations.

Our operations and properties are subject to a wide variety of increasingly complex and stringent foreign, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing discharges into the air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous substances and the health and safety of employees. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Some



environmental laws provide for strict, joint and several liability for remediation of spills and other releases of hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. In addition, companies may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances. These laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed.

Environmental laws and regulations that apply to our operations include the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (each, as amended) and similar laws that provide for responses to, and liability for, releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Environmental laws and regulations also include similar foreign, state or local counterparts to the above-mentioned federal laws, which regulate air emissions, water discharges, hazardous substances and waste, and require public disclosure related to the use of various hazardous substances. Our operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, primarily, in the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We cannot predict all of the environmental requirements or circumstances that will exist in the future but anticipate that environmental control and protection standards will become increasingly stringent and costly. Based on our experience to date, we do not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of future compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by us, which may be material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant environmental compliance costs in the future.

Our quality management systems are registered as being in conformance with ISO 9001:2015 and cover:

- our Subsea Robotics operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Norway, Angola, Ghana, Brazil, Canada, India, the Middle East, Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia;

- our Integrity Management & Digital Solutions operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the U.K., Norway, Angola, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia;

- our Offshore Projects Group operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the U.K., Norway, Brazil, Canada, India, the Middle East, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia;

- our Manufactured Products operations in Brazil, Canada, the U.S., the Netherlands, including (1) Rotator in Norway and (2) Grayloc in the United States, Canada, the U.K. and Malaysia; and

- the Oceaneering Space Systems, Oceaneering Technologies and Marine Services divisions of our Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment.

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized system for quality management established by the International Standards Organization, and the 2015 edition emphasizes customer satisfaction, risk assessment and continual improvement.

## HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 8,300 employees, of whom approximately 40% were employed in the United States and approximately 60% were employed outside of the United States. Our workforce varies seasonally and typically peaks during the second and third quarters of each year. In 2020, we worked in approximately 50 countries across six continents and employed people representing over 100 different nationalities.

We believe that our future success largely depends on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. We provide our employees with competitive compensation packages, development programs that enable continued learning and growth, and comprehensive and competitive benefit packages worldwide. Our compensation and benefits arrangements generally are tailored to local markets of operation. Employee benefits, therefore, typically depend on role and work location.

As part of our retention and promotion efforts, we invest in ongoing leadership development. We have a strong history of internal promotion. We regularly provide our employees with training, including health, safety and



environmental (“HSE”) awareness training, technical courses, management development seminars, and leadership and supervisory training.

Our core values and culture reflect our commitments to safety, diversity and inclusion, human health, the environment, ethical business practices and responsible corporate citizenship in the communities in which we live and work around the world. All employees are responsible for upholding our core values. We believe our core values and culture foster employee engagement and innovation, and allow us to draw on our employees' skills and aspirations in a mutually beneficial way.

Safety is a key focus of all Oceaneering operations. We have a strong HSE program that includes processes implemented by our operating groups that are aimed at preventing injuries to our employees and others with whom we work, as well as preventing damage to equipment and the environment. We hold our employees, and those of our subcontractors and vendors who appear in our workplaces or job sites, accountable for compliance with our safety standards.

As a global company, much of our success is rooted in the diversity of our workforce and our commitment to inclusion. We value diversity at all levels and continue to focus on extending our diversity and inclusion initiatives across our entire workforce. We have established an internal Diversity & Inclusion Council, made up of 19 employees, to listen, guide and support our efforts in this area.

## CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future orders, revenue, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “budget,” “goal,” “may,” “should,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.

In addition, various statements this report contains, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention are forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements appear in Part I of this report in Item 1—“Business,” Item 2—“Properties” and Item 3—“Legal Proceedings” and in Part II of this report in Item 7

—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Item 7A

—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated into Item 8 and elsewhere in this report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, we disclaim any obligation to update these statements, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:

• factors affecting the level of activity in the energy industry, including worldwide demand for and prices of oil and natural gas, oil and natural gas production growth and the supply and demand of offshore drilling rigs;

• actions by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other oil exporting countries;

• decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas exploration, development and production companies;

• decisions about offshore developments to be made by offshore renewables companies;

• the use of subsea completions and our ability to capture our share of the associated market;

• factors affecting the level of activity in each of our government and entertainment businesses, including decisions on spending and funding by the U.S. Government and capital expenditure decisions by entertainment business customers, such as theme park operators;



- general economic and business conditions and industry trends, including the ongoing transition to alternative sources of energy to reduce worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases”;

• the strength of the industry segments in which we are involved;

- the continuing effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the governmental, customer, supplier and other responses to the pandemic;

- cancellations of contracts, change orders and other contractual modifications and the resulting adjustments to our backlog;

• collections from our customers;

• our future financial performance, including as a result of the availability, terms and deployment of capital;

• the consequences of significant changes in currency exchange rates;

• the volatility and uncertainties of credit markets;

- our ability to comply with covenants in our credit agreements and other debt instruments and the availability, terms and deployment of capital;

• changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretation by taxing authorities;

- changes in, or our ability to comply with, other laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to the environment (including pollution and climate change);

• the continued availability of qualified personnel;

• our ability to obtain raw materials and parts on a timely basis and, in some cases, from limited sources;

• operating risks normally incident to offshore exploration, development and production operations;

• hurricanes and other adverse weather and sea conditions;

• cost and time associated with drydocking of our vessels;

• the highly competitive nature of our businesses;

• adverse outcomes from legal or regulatory proceedings;

• the risks associated with integrating businesses we acquire;

• the risks associated with the transition to a more remote workforce;

- the risks associated with the use of complex information technology systems, including cybersecurity risks and the risks associated with failures to protect data privacy in accordance with applicable legal requirements and contractual provisions binding upon us;

• rapid technological changes; and

- social, political, military and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business and the possibilities of civil disturbances, war, other armed conflicts or terrorist attacks.

We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. We have discussed most of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this report. These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises. We advise our security holders that they should (1) be aware that important factors we do not refer to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

## Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The following summarizes the risks and uncertainties that we consider to be material and that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and the market value of our securities. Investors in our company should consider these matters, in addition to the other information we have provided in this report and the documents we incorporate by reference.

## Business and Operational Risks

We derive most of our revenue from companies in the offshore oil and gas industry, a historically cyclical industry with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and volatility of oil and gas prices.

We derive most of our revenue from customers in the offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production industry. The offshore oil and gas industry is a historically cyclical industry characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and gas prices, and market expectations of potential changes in those prices, significantly affect the levels of those activities. Worldwide political, economic and military events have contributed to oil and gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Since the general decline in the price of oil from mid-2014, many oil and gas companies made significant reductions in their capital and operating expenditures, which have adversely impacted demand for the services and products provided by our Energy Services and Products business. During this period, exploration expenditures in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, particularly in deepwater sectors, have dropped significantly. This situation was exacerbated in 2020 by further reductions in expenditures by oil and gas companies due to the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the resulting significant reduction in global demand for oil and natural gas, coupled with the sharp decline in oil prices following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, as discussed below. So far in 2021, although oil and gas prices have recovered somewhat, there is new uncertainty regarding the long-term outlook for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, as a result of a temporary ban on leasing of U.S. federal lands imposed by the new administration. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and gas prices, limitations on access to capital for such activities, governmental actions or regulatory developments or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in our operating segments within our Energy Services and Products business. Some factors that have affected and are likely to continue affecting oil and gas prices and the level of demand for our services and products include the following:

• worldwide demand for oil and gas;

• general economic and business conditions and industry trends;

• the ability of OPEC to set and maintain production levels;

• the level of production by non-OPEC countries, including U.S. shale oil;

• the ability of oil and gas companies to generate funds for capital expenditures;

• the cost of exploring for, developing and producing oil and gas;

• domestic and foreign tax policy;

- laws and governmental regulations that restrict exploration and development of oil and gas in various offshore jurisdictions;

• technological changes;

• the political environment of oil-producing regions;

• the changing environmental and social landscape; and

• the price and availability of alternative energy.

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations.



The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic and the U.S. Government declared a national emergency in March 2020, has resulted in widespread adverse impacts on the global economy and financial markets, and on our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we have business relations. We have experienced some resulting disruptions to our business operations. For example, since mid-March, we have had to restrict access to our administrative offices around the world and quarantine personnel and assets as required by various governmental authorities, our customers' and our own safety protocols. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 and its variants will continue to spread, the widespread availability and efficacy of vaccines and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business and government shutdowns. Restrictions of this nature have caused, and may continue to cause, us, our suppliers and other business counterparties to experience operational delays, delays in the delivery of materials and supplies that are sourced from around the globe, and have caused, and may continue to cause, milestones or deadlines relating to various projects to be missed. Further, the impact of the pandemic, including the resulting significant reduction in global demand for oil and natural gas, coupled with the sharp decline in oil prices following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries has led to significant global economic contraction generally and in our industry in particular. Despite recent improvements in commodity prices, oil and natural gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of these events and the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, and as changes in oil and natural gas inventories, industry demand and economic performance are reported. We cannot predict whether and the extent to which prices will continue to improve and stabilize.

We have modified certain business and workforce practices (including those related to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented new protocols to promote social distancing and enhance sanitary measures in our offices and facilities to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities. However, the quarantine of personnel or the inability to access our facilities or customer sites could adversely affect our operations. Also, we have a limited number of highly skilled employees for some of our operations. If a large proportion of our employees in those critical positions were to contract COVID-19 or be quarantined as a result of the virus, at the same time, we would rely upon our business continuity plans in an effort to continue operations at our facilities and customer sites and onboard our vessels, but there is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the adverse impact to our operations that could result from shortages of highly skilled employees. Many of our suppliers and other business counterparties have made similar modifications. The resources available to those of our employees who are working remotely may not enable them to maintain the same level of productivity and efficiency, and those and other employees may face additional demands on their time, such as increased responsibilities resulting from school closures or the illness of family members. Although we have experienced only limited absenteeism from employees who are required to be on-site to perform their jobs, absenteeism may increase in the future and may harm our productivity. Further, our increased reliance on remote access to our information systems increases our exposure to potential cybersecurity breaches. We may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and other business counterparties. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, in which case our employees or other individuals may become sick, our ability to perform critical functions could be harmed, and we may be unable to respond to some of the needs of our global business.

We have also received various notices from some of our suppliers and other business counterparties, and provided notices to several customers, regarding performance delays resulting from the pandemic. These actions may result in some disputes and could strain our relations with customers and others. If and to the extent these actions were to result in material modifications or cancellations of the underlying contracts, we could experience reductions in our currently reported backlog and in the anticipated conversion of backlog into revenue in future periods. In addition, worsening economic conditions could result in reductions in backlog over time, which would impact our future financial performance.

Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, certain projects that were in process have been delayed in our Manufacturing Products segment. As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding accounts receivable and contracts assets of approximately $51 million for these projects. We continue to believe these accounts receivable and contract assets are realizable and the projects will resume.

Additionally, to the extent that access to the capital and other financial markets is adversely affected by the effects of COVID-19, we may need to consider alternative sources of funding for some of our operations and for working capital, which may increase our cost of, as well as adversely impact our access to, capital. These uncertain



economic conditions may also result in the inability of our customers and other counterparties to make payments to us, on a timely basis or at all, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot predict the full impact that COVID-19 or the significant disruption and volatility currently being experienced in the oil and natural gas markets will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations at this time, due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments beyond our control, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, among others, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the consequences of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus, the ongoing development and distribution of vaccines and therapeutic treatments, the duration of the pandemic, actions taken by members of OPEC and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers and other third parties, workforce availability, and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume.

## Our international operations involve additional risks not associated with domestic operations.

A significant portion of our revenue is attributable to operations in foreign countries. These activities accounted for approximately 53% of our consolidated revenue in 2020. Risks associated with our operations in foreign areas include risks of:

• regional and global economic downturns;

- public health threats, such as COVID-19, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, severe influenza and other highly communicable viruses or diseases, that could limit access to customers', vendors' or our facilities or offices, impose travel restrictions on our personnel or otherwise adversely affect our operations or demand for our services;

• disturbances or other risks that may limit or disrupt markets;

• expropriation, confiscation or nationalization of assets;

• renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts;

• foreign exchange restrictions;

• foreign currency fluctuations, particularly in countries highly dependent on oil revenue;

• foreign taxation, including the application and interpretation of tax laws;

• the inability to repatriate earnings or capital;

- uncertainties relating to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, including uncertainties about applicable future laws, regulations and treaties regarding tax and free trade agreements, intellectual property rights and supply chain logistics, as well as environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws, employment laws, and other rules that could apply to us and our subsidiaries;

• changing political conditions;

• changing foreign and domestic monetary policies; and

- social, political, military and economic situations in foreign areas where we do business and the possibilities of civil disturbances, war, other armed conflict, terrorist attacks or acts of piracy.

Additionally, in some jurisdictions we are subject to foreign governmental regulations favoring or requiring the awarding of contracts to local contractors or requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These regulations may adversely affect our ability to compete.

Our exposure to the risks we described above varies from country to country. In recent periods, economic conditions, political instability and civil unrest in Africa and Azerbaijan have been among our greatest concerns. There is a risk that a continuation or worsening of these conditions could materially and adversely impact our future business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.

## Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenue and earnings.

There can be no assurance that the revenue included in our backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. Because of project cancellations or potential changes in the scope or schedule of our customers' projects, we cannot predict with certainty when or if backlog will be realized. Material delays, suspensions, cancellations or payment defaults could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may be at risk of delays, suspensions and cancellations in the current market environment.



Reductions in our backlog due to cancellation by a customer or for other reasons would adversely affect, potentially to a material extent, the revenue and earnings we actually receive from contracts included in our backlog. Many of our ROV contracts have 30-day notice termination clauses. Some of the contracts in our backlog provide for cancellation fees in the event customers cancel projects. These cancellation fees usually provide for reimbursement of our out-of-pocket costs, revenue for work performed prior to cancellation and a varying percentage of the profits we would have realized had the contract been completed. However, under limited circumstances, such as certain bankruptcy events, no cancellation fee would be owed to us. Further, even if a cancellation fee is owed to us, a customer may be unable or may refuse to pay the cancellation fee. We typically have no contractual right upon cancellation to the total contract revenue as reflected in our backlog. If we experience significant project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to contracts reflected in our backlog, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.

## Our offshore oilfield operations involve a variety of operating hazards and risks that could cause losses.

Our operations are subject to the hazards inherent in the offshore oilfield business. These include blowouts, explosions, fires, collisions, capsizzings and severe weather conditions. These hazards could result in personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations. We may incur substantial liabilities or losses as a result of these hazards. While we maintain insurance protection against some of these risks, and seek to obtain indemnity agreements from our customers requiring the customers to hold us harmless from some of these risks, our insurance and contractual indemnity protection may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against or the failure of a customer to meet its indemnification obligations to us could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

## Legal and Regulatory Risks

## Our operations could be adversely impacted by the effects of new regulations.

During 2010, the U.S. Government established new regulations relating to the design of wells and testing of the integrity of wellbores, the use of drilling fluids, the functionality and testing of well control equipment, including blowout preventers, and other safety and environmental regulations. The U.S. Government requires that operators demonstrate their compliance with those regulations before commencing deepwater drilling operations. In addition, increasing attention to issues concerning climate change as a result of the emission of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" may result in the imposition of additional environmental or other legislation or regulations that seek to restrict, or otherwise impose limitations or costs upon, the emission of greenhouse gases. We cannot predict when or whether any of these various legislative and regulatory proposals may be enacted or adopted or what their effects will be on us or our customers, particularly with respect to offshore oil and gas exploration and development projects. These and other legislative or regulatory developments could increase costs for us and our customers or, in some cases, prevent projects from going forward, thereby potentially reducing the need for our products and services.

## Employee, agent or partner misconduct or our overall failure to comply with laws or regulations could weaken our ability to win contracts, which could result in reduced revenue and profits.

Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by one or more of our employees, agents or partners could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct could include the failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), which prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials, as well as the failure to comply with government procurement regulations, regulations on lobbying or similar activities, regulations pertaining to the internal controls over financial reporting and various other applicable laws or regulations, including the U.K. Bribery Act. We operate in some countries that international corruption monitoring groups have identified as having high levels of corruption. Our activities create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees or agents that could be in violation of the FCPA or other applicable anti-corruption laws. The precautions we take to prevent and detect misconduct, fraud or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to fines, penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Laws and governmental regulations may add to our costs or adversely affect our operations.



Our business is affected by changes in public policy and by federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the offshore oil and gas industry. Offshore oil and gas exploration and production operations are affected by tax, environmental, safety and other laws, by changes in those laws, application or interpretation of existing laws, and changes in related administrative regulations. It is also possible that these laws and regulations may in the future add significantly to our operating costs or those of our customers or otherwise directly or indirectly affect our operations.

Environmental laws and regulations can increase our costs, and our failure to comply with those laws and regulations can expose us to significant liabilities.

Risks of substantial costs and liabilities related to environmental compliance issues are inherent in our operations. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment. Permits are required for the operation of various facilities, and those permits are subject to revocation, modification and renewal. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations are subject to fines, injunctions or both. In some cases, those governmental requirements can impose liability for the entire cost of cleanup on any responsible party without regard to negligence or fault and impose liability on us for the conduct of or conditions others have caused, or for our acts that complied with all applicable requirements when we performed them. It is possible that other developments, such as stricter environmental laws and regulations, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations, would result in substantial costs and liabilities. In particular, increasing attention to issues concerning climate change as a result of the emission of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases” may result in the imposition of additional environmental legislation or regulations that seek to restrict, or otherwise impose limitations or costs upon, the emission of greenhouse gases. We cannot predict when or whether any of these various legislative and regulatory proposals may become law or what their effect will be on us or our customers. Such legislation or regulations could increase costs for us and our customers or, in some cases, prevent projects from going forward, thereby potentially reducing the need for our products and services. Our insurance policies and the contractual indemnity protection we seek to obtain from our customers may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks involving compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

## Financial Risks

## Foreign exchange risks and fluctuations may affect our profitability on certain projects.

We operate on a worldwide basis with substantial operations outside the U.S. that subject us to U.S. dollar translation and economic risks. In order to manage some of the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, we may enter into foreign currency derivative (hedging) instruments, especially when there is currency risk exposure that is not naturally mitigated via our contracts. However, these actions may not always eliminate all currency risk exposure, in particular for our long-term contracts. A disruption in the foreign currency markets, including the markets with respect to any particular currencies, could adversely affect our hedging instruments and subject us to additional currency risk exposure. Based on fluctuations in currency, the U.S. dollar value of our backlog may from time to time increase or decrease significantly. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Our operational cash flows and cash balances, though predominantly held in U.S. dollars, may consist of different currencies at various points in time in order to execute our contracts globally. Non-U.S. asset and liability balances are subject to currency fluctuations when measured period to period for financial reporting purposes in U.S. dollars.

Maintaining adequate letter of credit and bonding capacity is necessary for us to successfully bid on and win various contracts.

In line with industry practice, we are often required to post standby letters of credit to customers or enter into surety bond arrangements in favor of customers. Those letters of credit and surety bond arrangements generally protect customers against our failure to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. However, the terms of those letters of credit, including terms relating to the customer's ability to draw upon the letter of credit and the amount of the letter of credit required, can vary significantly. If a letter of credit or surety bond is required for a particular project and we are unable to obtain it due to insufficient liquidity or other reasons, we may not be able to pursue that project. We have limited capacity for letters of credit, and we rely substantially on bilateral letters of credit from various issuing banks in a number of markets. Moreover, due to events that affect the credit markets generally, letters of credit may be more difficult to obtain in the future or may only be available at significant additional cost. Letters of credit, including through our bilateral arrangements (which are cancelable in the discretion



of the issuing banks), may not continue to be available to us on reasonable terms. Our inability to obtain adequate letters of credit and surety bonds and, as a result, to bid on new work could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in the method of determining the U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest rates and increase our cost of capital.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark rate by the end of 2021. On November 30, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the current administrator of LIBOR, announced that it intends to cease publication of 1-week and 2-month LIBOR at the end of 2021 and, subject to compliance with applicable regulations, including as to representativeness, it does not intend to cease publication of the remaining tenors until June 30, 2023. However, it is possible that LIBOR's regulator may determine to cease publication as of an earlier date, if the information used to calculate LIBOR degrades to the degree that it is no longer representative of the underlying market. We expect that different benchmark rates used to price indebtedness will continue to be developed over time. Revolving credit borrowings under our principal credit agreement, which is described in Part II of this report in Item 7—“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (the “Credit Agreement”), bear interest at rates tied to LIBOR. In the future, we may need to renegotiate the Credit Agreement or incur indebtedness under other credit arrangements, and the phase-out of LIBOR may negatively impact the terms of such indebtedness. We have not yet pursued an amendment of the Credit Agreement or other contractual alternative to address this matter and are currently evaluating the impact of the potential replacement of LIBOR. If no such amendment or other contractual alternative is established on or prior to the phase-out of LIBOR, interest on revolving credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement may bear interest at higher rates based on the prime rate, which could increase our cost of capital in the event we borrow against the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the overall financial market may be disrupted as a result of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption in the financial market could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

A global financial crisis could impact our business and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

A recurrence of the credit crisis and related turmoil in the global financial system that occurred in 2008 and 2009 could have an impact on our business and our financial condition. In particular, the cost of capital increased substantially while the availability of funds from the capital markets diminished significantly. Although the capital markets have recovered, in a recurrence, our ability to access the capital markets in the future could be restricted or be available only on terms we do not consider favorable. Limited access to the capital markets could adversely impact our ability to take advantage of business opportunities or react to changing economic and business conditions and could adversely impact our ability to continue our growth strategy. Ultimately, we could be required to reduce our future capital expenditures substantially. Such a reduction could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. A recurrence of such a global financial crisis could have further impacts on our business that we currently cannot predict or anticipate.

A global financial crisis or economic recession could have an impact on our suppliers and our customers, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, income from operations and cash flows.

If one or more of the lenders under our revolving credit facility were to become unable or unwilling to perform their obligations under that facility, our borrowing capacity could be reduced. Our inability to borrow under our revolving credit facility could limit our ability to fund our future operations and growth.

In addition, we maintain our cash balances and short-term investments primarily in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located principally in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, and some of those accounts hold deposits that exceed available insurance. It is possible that one or more of the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and investments could become subject to bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. As a result, we could be at risk of not being able to access material amounts of our cash, which could result in a temporary liquidity crisis that could impede our ability to fund operations.



## Strategic Risks Related to our Business

Our business strategy contemplates future acquisitions. Acquisitions of other businesses or assets present various risks and uncertainties.

We may pursue growth through the acquisition of businesses or assets that will enable us to broaden our service and product offerings and expand into new markets. We may be unable to implement this element of our growth strategy if we cannot identify suitable businesses or assets, reach agreement on potential strategic acquisitions on acceptable terms or for other reasons. Moreover, acquisitions involve various risks, including:

• difficulties relating to the assimilation of personnel, services and systems of an acquired business and the assimilation of marketing and other operational capabilities;

• challenges resulting from unanticipated changes in customer and other third-party relationships subsequent to acquisition;

• additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning, treasury management, financial reporting and internal controls;

• assumption of liabilities of an acquired business, including liabilities that were unknown at the time the acquisition transaction was negotiated;

• possible liabilities under the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws;

• diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations;

• failure to realize anticipated benefits, such as cost savings and revenue enhancements;

• potentially substantial transaction costs associated with acquisitions; and

• potential impairment resulting from the overpayment for an acquisition.

Future acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on attractive terms. Moreover, to the extent an acquisition transaction financed by non-equity consideration results in goodwill, it will reduce our tangible net worth, which might have an adverse effect on credit availability.

Additionally, an acquisition may bring us into businesses we have not previously conducted and expose us to additional business risks that are different from those we have previously experienced.

Our business strategy also includes development and commercialization of new technologies to support our growth. The development and commercialization of new technologies require capital investment and involve various risks and uncertainties.

Our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to innovate by developing and commercializing new service and product offerings. Investments in new technologies involve varying degrees of uncertainties and risk. Commercial success depends on many factors, including the levels of innovation, the development costs and the availability of capital resources to fund those costs, the levels of competition from others developing similar or other competing technologies, our ability to obtain or maintain government permits or certifications, the effectiveness of production, distribution and marketing efforts, and the costs to customers to deploy and provide support for the new technologies. We may not achieve significant revenue from new service and product investments for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new services and products may not be profitable, and, even if they are profitable, our operating margins from new services and products may not be as high as the margins we have experienced historically.

The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract, assimilate and retain trained personnel in the future, could disrupt our operations and result in loss of revenue.

Our success depends on the continued active participation of our executive officers and key operating personnel. The unexpected loss of the services of any one of these persons could adversely affect our operations.

Our operations require the services of employees having the technical training and experience necessary to obtain the proper operational results. As a result, if we should suffer any material loss of personnel to competitors or be unable to employ additional or replacement personnel with the requisite level of training and experience to adequately operate our equipment, our operations could be adversely affected. A significant increase in the wages paid by other employers could result in a reduction in our workforce, increases in wage rates, or both.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.



Our businesses operate in highly competitive industry segments. Some of our competitors or potential competitors have greater financial or other resources than we have. Our operations may be adversely affected if our current competitors or new market entrants introduce new products or services with better features, performance, prices or other characteristics than those of our services and products. This factor is significant to our segments' operations, particularly in the operating segments within our Energy Services and Products business, where capital investment is critical to our ability to compete.

## Risks Related to Intellectual Property, Information Technology and Data Privacy

We rely on intellectual property law and confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property. We also rely on intellectual property we license from third parties. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or our inability to obtain or renew licenses to use intellectual property of third parties, could adversely affect our business.

We rely on a variety of intellectual property rights that we use in our services and products, and our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary information and other intellectual property. Our intellectual property could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may be limited or unavailable in some foreign countries where we operate.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in the loss of valuable technologies or adversely affect our competitive business position. We rely significantly on proprietary technology, information, processes and know-how that are not subject to patent or copyright protection. We seek to protect this information through trade secret or confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, subcontractors or other parties, as well as through other security measures. These agreements and security measures may be inadequate to deter or prevent misappropriation of our confidential information. In the event of an infringement of our intellectual property rights, a breach of a confidentiality agreement or divulgence of proprietary information, we may not have adequate legal remedies to protect our intellectual property.

In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of third parties. However, it is possible that the tools, techniques, methodologies, programs and components we use to provide our services or products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. In the future, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. Royalty payments under licenses from third parties, if available, or developing non-infringing technologies could materially increase our costs. Additionally, if a license or non-infringing technology were not available, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation to determine the scope of intellectual property rights, even if ultimately successful, could be costly and could divert management's attention away from other aspects of our business. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

Our information technology systems are subject to interruption and cybersecurity risks that could adversely impact our operations.

Our operations (both onshore and offshore) are highly dependent on information technology systems, including systems that collect, organize, store or use personally identifiable data and other sensitive information about our customers, employees, suppliers and others. Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow. In addition, breaches to our systems or third-party systems utilized by us could go unnoticed for some period of time. Risks associated with these threats include disruptions of certain systems on our vessels or utilized to operate our ROVs; other impairments of our ability to conduct our operations; loss of or damage to intellectual property, proprietary information or employee or customer data; disruption of our customers' operations; loss or damage to our customer data delivery systems; damage to our reputation or customer or other business relationships; regulatory investigations or other actions by governmental authorities and associated costs, fines or penalties; and increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity incidents. If such a cyber incident were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

While we continue to evaluate potential replacements or upgrades of existing key information technology systems, the implementation of new information technology systems or upgrades to existing systems subjects us to inherent costs and risks associated with replacing or changing these systems, including potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and other risks. Our possible new



information technology systems implementations or upgrades may not result in productivity improvements at the levels anticipated, or at all. In addition, the implementation of new or upgraded information technology systems may cause disruptions in our business operations. Any such disruption, and any other information technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

## Changes in data privacy laws, regulations and standards may cause our business to suffer.

Personal privacy and data security have become significant regulatory issues and the subject of rapidly evolving laws globally and in the United States. For example, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) went into effect in 2018 and enforcement is still evolving. Furthermore, federal, state and local government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, more laws and regulations affecting data privacy. For example, the state of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and California voters recently approved the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). The CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, creates individual privacy rights for California residents and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling certain personal data of consumers or households, including new disclosures and protections to California residents. The CPRA modifies the CCPA and imposes additional data protection obligations on companies doing business in California. GDPR and the CCPA and other data privacy regulations may significantly impact our business activities and require substantial compliance costs that adversely affect business, operating results, prospects and financial condition.

Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies that are applicable to our business may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our solutions. If we are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations and standards related to privacy or security, our business may be harmed.

In addition, the regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is evolving and can be subject to significant change. New laws and regulations relating to data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and recent legislation and regulations adopted in various U.S. jurisdictions, pose complex compliance challenges and may result in increased costs, and any failure to comply with those laws and regulations (or contractual provisions requiring similar compliance), including as a result of security and privacy breaches, could result in negative publicity and significant penalties or other liabilities. Additionally, if we acquire an entity that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data privacy and protection laws or regulations (or contractual provisions), we may experience similar adverse consequences.

## Risks Related to our Organization and Structure

## We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional and other rights, including preferences over our common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our common stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our shareholders.

The existence of some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our shareholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make acquiring control of our company difficult, including:

• provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors;

• provisions regulating the ability of our shareholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our shareholders;



• provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business combination transactions with related persons; and

• the authorization given to our board of directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock.

In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.

## General Risks

## Our internal controls may not be sufficient to achieve all stated goals and objectives.

Our internal controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. The design of any system of internal controls and procedures is based, in part, on various assumptions about the likelihood of future events. We cannot assure that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

## The use of estimates could result in future adjustments to our assets, liabilities and results of operations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

## Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

## Item 2. Properties.

We maintain office, shop and yard facilities in various parts of the world to support our operations. We consider these facilities, which we describe below, to be suitable for their intended use and adequate for our current operations. In these locations, we typically own or lease office facilities for our administrative and engineering staff, shops equipped for fabrication, testing, repair and maintenance activities and warehouses and yard areas for storage and mobilization of equipment to work sites. All sites are available to support any of our business segments as the need arises. The groupings that follow associate our significant offices with the primary business segment they serve.

Energy Services and Products. In general, our Energy Services and Products business segments share facilities. Our location in Morgan City, Louisiana consists of ROV manufacturing and training facilities, vessel docking facilities, open and covered warehouse space and offices. The Morgan City facilities primarily support operations in the United States. We have regional support offices for our North Sea, Africa, Brazil and Southeast Asia operations in: Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger and Bergen, Norway; Abu Dhabi and Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Rio de Janeiro and Macaé, Brazil; Luanda, Angola; Chandigarh, India; Perth, Australia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Baku, Azerbaijan; and Singapore. We also have operational bases in various other locations.

We use workshop and office space in Houston, Texas in our Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions business segments. Our principal manufacturing facilities for our Manufactured Products segment are located in or near: Houston, Texas; Panama City, Florida; Aberdeen and Rosyth, Scotland; Nodeland and Stavanger, Norway; Perth, Australia; Luanda, Angola; the Netherlands; and Niterói and Macaé, Brazil. We also have an office in Orlando, Florida, which supports our commercial theme park animation activities. Each of these manufacturing facilities is suitable for its intended purpose and has sufficient capacity to respond to increases in demand for our subsea and theme park products and that may be reasonably anticipated in the foreseeable future.

For a description of the vessels we use in our Offshore Projects Group operations, see the discussion in Item 1. "Business" under the heading "GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS—Energy Services and Products—Offshore Projects Group."

Aerospace and Defense Technologies. Our primary facilities for our Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment are leased offices and workshops in Hanover, Maryland. We have regional offices in Chesapeake, Virginia; Bremerton, Washington; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Cataumet, Massachusetts; Charleston, South Carolina; and San



Diego, California, which support our services for the U.S. Navy. We also have facilities in Houston, Texas, to support our space industry activities.

## Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

For information regarding legal proceedings, see the discussion under the caption “Litigation” in Note 10—“Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, which discussion we incorporate by reference into this Item.

## Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.



## Part II

## Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol OII. Our company website address is www.oceaneering.com

On February 19, 2021, there were 474 holders of record of our common stock. On that date, the closing sales price, as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, was $9.95. Our Board has not declared quarterly dividends since 2017, after considering the need to focus our resources on growth and positioning us for the future. Although we will continue to review our dividend position on a quarterly basis, we do not anticipate our Board reinstating a quarterly cash dividend until we see a significant improvement in both our market outlook and projected free cash flow.

In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 10 million shares of our common stock on a discretionary basis. The program calls for the repurchases to be made in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of these factors. We expect that any shares repurchased under the program will be held as treasury stock for future use. The new program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares. Under the program, we had repurchased 2.0 million shares of our common stock for $100 million through December 31, 2015. We have not repurchased any shares under the program since December 31, 2015.

## Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Certain statements in this annual report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements regarding the following matters, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

• our business strategy;

• industry conditions;

• seasonality;

- the impacts of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the U.S. and global economy, as well as on our business;

- our expectations about 2021 results of operations, items below the operating income line and segment operating results, and the factors underlying those expectations, including our expectations about demand and pricing for our energy services and products as a result of the factors we specify in “Overview” and “Results of Operations” below;

• the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and other tax refunds;

• our backlog;

• projections relating to floating rig demand and subsea tree installations;

- the adequacy of our liquidity, cash flows and capital resources to support our operations and internally generated growth initiatives;

• our projected capital expenditures for 2021;

- our plans for future operations (including planned additions to and retirements from our remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) fleet;

• our ability and intent to redeem Angolan bonds and repatriate cash;

• our expectations regarding shares that may be repurchased under our share repurchase plan;

- our expectations regarding the implementation of new accounting standards and related policies, procedures and controls;

• our expectations about our ROV fleet utilization in the future; and

• our expectations regarding the effect of inflation in the near future.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we refer to under the headings “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Part I of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information.

## Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and Our Business

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic and the U.S. Government declared a national emergency in March 2020, has resulted in widespread adverse impacts on the global economy and financial markets, and on our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we have business relations. We have experienced some resulting disruptions to our business operations. For example, since mid-March, we have had to restrict access to our administrative offices around the world and quarantine personnel and assets as required by various governmental authorities, our customers' and our own safety protocols.

Our first priority in our response to this crisis has been the health and safety of our employees and those of our customers and other business counterparties. We have implemented preventative measures and developed corporate and regional response plans to minimize unnecessary risk of exposure and prevent infection, while supporting our customers' global operations to the best of our ability in the circumstances. Our preventative measures and response plans were developed based on guidance received from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, International SOS and our corporate medical advisor. We have modified certain business and workforce practices (including those related to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented new



protocols to promote social distancing and enhance sanitary measures in our offices and facilities to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 and its variants will continue to spread, the widespread availability and efficacy of vaccines and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business and government shutdowns. Restrictions of this nature have caused, and may continue to cause, us, our suppliers and other business counterparties to experience operational delays, delays in the delivery of materials and supplies that are sourced from around the globe, and milestones or deadlines relating to various projects to be missed.

We have also received various notices from some of our suppliers and other business counterparties, and provided notices to several customers, regarding performance delays resulting from the pandemic. These actions may result in some disputes and could strain our relations with customers and others. If and to the extent these actions were to result in material modifications or cancellations of the underlying contracts, we could experience reductions in our currently reported backlog and in the anticipated conversion of backlog into revenue in future periods. In addition, worsening economic conditions could result in reductions in backlog over time, which would impact our future financial performance.

One of the impacts of the pandemic has been a significant reduction in global demand for oil and natural gas. This significant decline in demand was met with a sharp decline in oil prices following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), and other foreign, oil-exporting countries. The resulting supply/demand imbalance has had, and is continuing to have, disruptive impacts on the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry and on other industries that serve exploration and production companies. OPEC and other foreign, oil-producing countries implemented production cuts during the second quarter and, though somewhat eased in August, extended the production cuts in the third quarter, in an effort to address the supply/demand imbalance. As a result, crude oil prices improved somewhat. However, as noted by the International Energy Agency, global crude oil demand for the full year of 2020 fell by approximately 8.8 million barrels per day compared to 2019. Recent increases in COVID-19 cases in various regions around the world and the resulting governmental and other restrictions imposed in response to those increases, have resulted in more volatility and less predictability in industry conditions. These conditions have led to significant global economic contraction generally and in our industry in particular.

Despite recent improvements in commodity prices, we expect to see continued volatility in oil and natural gas prices for the foreseeable future, which could, over the long term, adversely impact our business. A significant decline in exploration and development activities and related spending by our customers, whether due to decreases in demand or prices for oil and natural gas or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

As of the date of this report, our efforts to respond to the challenges presented by the conditions described above and minimize the impacts to our business have yielded results, as we have largely been able to maintain operational continuity on a worldwide basis. Our manufacturing, services operations, and other operating facilities have remained operational and our vessels have continued to perform. We have moved quickly to reduce costs, increase operational efficiencies and lower our capital spending. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, we had $452 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet and our $500 million revolving credit facility was undrawn and remains available to support our operations. We have not required any loans under any COVID-19-related program, and we do not expect to have to utilize any such loans. We have experienced some increased absenteeism in our hourly workforce, but, so far, we have not experienced any resulting problems that have been unmanageable. We are continuing to address concerns to protect the health and safety of our employees and those of our customers and other business counterparties, which includes implementing changes as needed to comply with health-related guidelines as they may be modified and supplemented from time to time.

We cannot predict the full impact that COVID-19 or the significant disruption and volatility currently being experienced in the oil and natural gas markets will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations at this time, due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments beyond our control, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the efficacy of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus, the ongoing development and distribution of vaccines and therapeutic treatments, the duration of the pandemic, actions taken by members of OPEC and other foreign oil-exporting countries,



governmental authorities, customers, suppliers and other thirds parties, workforce availability, and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume.

## Overview of our Results and Guidance

The table that follows sets out our revenue and operating results for 2020, 2019 and 2018.

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(dollars in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue</td><td>$ 1,827,889</td><td>$ 2,048,124</td><td>$ 1,909,482</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Margin</td><td>163,941</td><td>98,244</td><td>129,226</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Margin %</td><td>9 %</td><td>5 %</td><td>7 %</td></tr><tr><td>Operating Income (Loss)</td><td>(446,079)</td><td>(290,713)</td><td>(145,482)</td></tr><tr><td>Operating Income (Loss) %</td><td>(24)%</td><td>(14)%</td><td>(8)%</td></tr><tr><td>Net Income (Loss)</td><td>(496,751)</td><td>(348,444)</td><td>(212,327)</td></tr></table>

Our business segments are contained within two businesses - services and products provided primarily to the oil and gas industry and, to a lesser extent, the offshore renewables industry (“Energy Services and Products”) and services and products provided to non-energy industries (“Aerospace and Defense Technologies”). Our four business segments within the Energy Services and Products business are Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”) and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions (“IMDS”). We report our Aerospace and Defense Technologies (“ADTech”) business as one segment. Unallocated Expenses are expenses not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and bonuses, as well as other general expenses.

Our business primarily depends on the level of spending on offshore developments and related operating activities by our customers in the energy industry. During 2020, we generated approximately 81% of our revenue from services and products we provide to the energy industry. Our results for 2020 reflect the impact of pre-tax charges of $467 million recognized during the year, most notably in the first quarter. Activity levels and operating performance within our energy segments were lower than expected. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted operator investments in oil and gas projects, due to a decline in crude oil demand and pricing, and entertainment business spending, due to limited theme park attendance. Activity levels and performance within our ADTech segment met expectations for the year. Overall, our 2020 revenue decreased 11% to $1.8 billion, with revenue decreases in each of our four energy segments being partially offset by a revenue increase in our ADTech segment.

In 2020, on a consolidated level, we had a net loss of $497 million, or diluted loss of $5.01 per share, compared to net loss of $348 million, or diluted loss of $3.52 per share, in 2019. The $148 million increase in net loss as compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to pre-tax charges of $467 million recorded in 2020 for impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and inventory, and other expenses, most notably in our Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products, OPG and IMDS segments. This compares to pre-tax charges recorded in 2019 of $252 million, for impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and inventory, and other expenses, most notably in our Subsea Robotics, OPG and IMDS segments.

We had operating losses of $446 million and $291 million, including charges of $467 million and $252 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. More information about these charges is described below. Due to lower profit contributions for our Manufactured Products, Subsea Robotics and IMDS segments, partially offset by increased profit contributions from our OPG and ADTech segments, operating results decreased $155 million from 2019. The changes in operating results occurred in our:

- Subsea Robotics segment, which had a $77 million decrease in operating results, primarily as a result of charges of $122 million in 2020 as compared to charges of $31 million in 2019. These charges were principally due to a goodwill impairment in 2020 of $102 million, largely based on market conditions and lower pricing levels. Both 2020 and 2019 charges included asset write-offs and inventory write-downs, largely resulting from impairment and obsolescence.

- Manufactured Products segment, which had a $94 million decrease in operating results, primarily as a result of charges of $116 million in 2020 as compared to charges of $3.3 million in 2019. These charges in 2020 included impairments and write-downs of certain equipment of $61 million and goodwill impairments of



$52 million, both largely based on market conditions and lower pricing levels. This compared with long-lived assets write-offs of $0.5 million and inventory write-downs of $2.1 million in 2019.

- OPG segment, which had a $64 million increase in operating results, primarily as a result of decrease in charges from $168 million in 2019 to $100 million in 2020. The long-lived asset impairment charges of $161 million in 2019 were principally the result of several vessel impairments, as market conditions no longer supported the prior valuations for these assets. This compared with a goodwill impairment of $66 million and long-lived asset impairments and write-offs of $25 million in 2020.

- IMDS segment, which had a $69 million decrease in operating results, primarily as a result of charges of $128 million in 2020 as compared to charges of $49 million in 2019. These charges in 2020 included a goodwill impairment of $123 million, largely based on market conditions and lower pricing levels. This compared with charges including impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets and inventory write-downs of $32 million and a goodwill impairment of $15 million in 2019.

- ADTech segment, which had an $13 million increase in operating income on higher levels of revenue in both defense subsea technologies and space systems.

In 2020, 2019 and 2018 we incurred charges of $467 million, $252 million and $84 million, respectively, primarily due to market conditions that no longer supported the prior valuations. Additionally, we recognized other costs, as we adapted our geographic footprint and staffing levels to the conditions of the markets we serve, along with asset write-downs relating to the retirement of 30 ROVs from our fleet in 2019. Charges for 2020, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

We expect our 2021 operating results to approximate those of 2020. Based on our backlog as of December 31, 2020 and anticipated order intake, we anticipate generally flat consolidated revenue, with higher revenue in ADTech and IMDS to offset substantially lower revenue from our Manufactured Products segment. We expect relatively flat revenue in our Subsea Robotics and OPG segments assuming no significant incremental COVID-19 impacts and generally stable oil and gas prices. We expect positive operating income contributions from each of our operating segments. Apart from seasonality, we generally view pricing and margins in the current energy markets to be stable. We anticipate improved annual operating results in our Subsea Robotics, OPG, IMDS and ADTech segments, and lower operating results in our Manufactured Products segments.

We use our ROVs to provide drilling support, vessel-based inspection, maintenance and repair, subsea hardware installation, construction, and pipeline inspection services to customers in the energy industry. Most of our ROVs have historically been used to provide drill support services. Therefore, the contracted number of floating drilling rigs is a leading market indicator for this business. The following table shows average floating rigs under contract and our ROV utilization.



<table><tr><td></td><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Average number of floating rigs under contract</td><td>139</td><td>154</td><td>148</td></tr><tr><td>ROV days on hire (in thousands)</td><td>54</td><td>58</td><td>52</td></tr><tr><td>ROV utilization</td><td>59%</td><td>58%</td><td>51%</td></tr></table>

Demand for floating rigs is the primary leading indicator of the strength of the deepwater market. According to industry data published by IHS Petrodata, excluding rigs under construction, at the end of 2020 there were 212 floating drilling rigs in operation or available for work throughout the world, with 129 of those rigs under contract. The average contracted offshore floating rig count in 2020 declined to approximately 139 rigs.

In addition to floating rig demand, the number of subsea tree orders and installations is another leading indicator, and the primary demand driver for our Manufactured Products lines. According to data published by Rystad Energy in December 2020, there are projected to be 277 subsea tree installations in 2021, compared to 296 in 2020, 286 in 2019 and 280 in 2018.

In 2021, we expect interest expense, net of interest income, to be approximately $40 million. We do not anticipate capitalizing interest on any long-lived assets in 2021.

In 2021, our income tax payments, estimated to total between $35 million and $40 million, are expected to relate primarily to taxes incurred in countries that impose tax on the basis of in-country revenue, without regard to the profitability of such operations. These cash tax payments do not include the impact of approximately $28 million of CARES Act tax refunds expected to be received in 2021.

## Results of Operations

Realignment of Reportable Segments. In the third quarter of 2020, we changed our organizational structure as part of the transformation to realign our businesses to achieve greater cost efficiencies and to bring together business units that frequently work together and promote increased synergies in bidding, project management and the use of offshore technicians. As a result, information that our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we are reporting our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments and have recast certain prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally manage our businesses and monitor segment performance. Our new structure aligns our company around five reportable segments: (1) Subsea Robotics; (2) Manufactured Products; (3) Offshore Projects Group; (4) Integrity Management & Digital Solutions; and (5) Aerospace and Defense Technologies. Additional information on our business segments is shown in Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Energy Services and Products. The table that follows sets out revenue and profitability for the business segments within our Energy Services and Products business. In the Subsea Robotics section of the table that follows, “ROV Days Available” includes all days from the first day that an ROV is placed in service until the ROV is retired. All days in this period are considered available days, including periods when an ROV is undergoing maintenance or repairs. Our ROVs do not have scheduled maintenance or repair that requires significant time when the ROVs are not available for utilization.

Subsea Robotics. Historically, we built new ROVs to increase the size of our fleet in response to demand to support deepwater drilling and vessel-based IMR and installation work. These vehicles are designed for use around the world in water depths of 10,000 feet or more. In 2015, as a result of declining market conditions, we began building fewer ROVs, generally limiting additions to meet contractual commitments. We added three, 13 and six ROVs in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, while retiring 51 units over the three-year period. Our ROV fleet size was 250 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 275 as of December 31, 2018. We have decreased our ROV fleet size since 2015 in response to lower market demand.

We believe we are the world's largest provider of ROV services and, generally, this business segment has been the largest contributor to our Energy Services and Products business operating income. Our Subsea Robotics segment revenue reflects the utilization percentages, fleet sizes and average pricing in the respective periods. Our survey



services business provides survey and positioning, and geoscience services. The following table presents revenue from ROV services as a percentage of total Subsea Robotics revenue:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019  \( {}^{*} \)</td><td>2018  \( {}^{*} \)</td></tr><tr><td>ROV</td><td>81 %</td><td>77 %</td><td>77%</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>19 %</td><td>23 %</td><td>23%</td></tr></table>

 \( ^{*} \)  Recast to reflect segment changes.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, our Subsea Robotics operating income decreased as compared to 2019, primarily due to charges of $122 million and $31 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for goodwill impairment, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets and inventory, and other expenses. Exclusive of those charges, Subsea Robotics operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year on higher margins and improved cost controls. We had a 7% decrease in days on hire and year-over-year decreases in both drill support and vessel support days. Dayrates and costs per day on hire decreased on a slight increase in utilization.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our Subsea Robotics operating income increased compared to 2018. We generated higher revenue, due to a 12% increase in days on hire and year-over-year increases in both drill support and vessel support days. Both dayrates and costs per day on hire increased slightly on increased utilization. The operational benefits of this increased activity were offset by $31 million of charges for write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets, inventory, and other expenses. 2018 operating results included $52 million of charges primarily for goodwill impairment.

For our Subsea Robotics in 2021, we expect improved results based on essentially flat ROV days on hire with higher vessel-based service days balancing a decline in drill support days, minor shifts in geographic mix and generally stable pricing. Results for tooling-based services are expected to be flat, with activity levels generally following ROV days on hire. Survey operating results are expected to improve on higher geoscience activity. We project fewer installations and demobilizations in 2021, which should lower operating costs as compared to 2020. Our overall ROV fleet utilization is expected to be in the mid- to high-50% range for the full year of 2021, with higher seasonal activity during the second and third quarters. Subject to quarterly variances, we continue to expect our drill support market share to generally approximate 60%.

Manufactured Products. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our Manufactured Products operating results decreased, as compared to 2019, primarily due to charges in 2020 of $116 million for asset and goodwill impairments, and other expenses as compared to $3.3 million of charges in 2019 for write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets and inventory, and other expenses. Exclusive of charges, Manufactured Products adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Our energy-related businesses year over year had increased volume and operating margins due to better execution and improved operating efficiencies. Our mobility solutions businesses had significantly less volume and lower operating margins as a result of declines in activity attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our Manufactured Products operating results decreased, on higher revenue as compared to 2018, as a result of an increase in subsea umbilical and hardware awards and related throughput, partially offset by lower revenue and operating results from our mobility solutions businesses. Operating results in 2019 and 2018 were partially offset by $3.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of charges for write-offs of certain equipment and inventory, and other expenses.

We expect our Manufactured Products segment operating results in 2021 to decline, primarily as a result of the decreased order intake in our energy businesses during 2020. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our mobility solutions businesses, and currently expect to see marginally higher activity and contribution from these businesses in 2021. Our Manufactured Products backlog was $266 million as of December 31, 2020, a $282 million, or 51%, decrease over December 31, 2019.

Offshore Projects Group. Our OPG operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased as compared to 2019 primarily due to decreased charges in 2020 of $100 million for vessel and other asset impairments and write-offs, goodwill impairment, and other charges as compared to 2019 charges of $168 million for vessel and intangible impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment and inventory, and other



expenses. Exclusive of those charges, our OPG operating results were lower for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the prior year, on lower revenue due to reduced activity levels in the areas of IMR, decommissioning and intervention services.

Our OPG operating results for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased on lower revenue as compared to 2018 primarily due to 2019 charges of $168 million for vessel and intangible impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment and inventory, and other expenses. This segment's 2018 results included charges of $23 million related to goodwill impairment and write-offs of obsolete equipment and intangible assets associated with exiting the land survey business.

In 2021, we expect operating results for our OPG segment to improve, on generally stable offshore activity and margins as compared to the last half of 2020. Operating results are expected to improve largely due to the efficiency and cost improvement measures implemented in 2020 and improved year-over-year contribution from our Angola riserless light well intervention campaign. Vessel day rates remain competitive but stable, and we expect to see opportunities for pricing improvements during periods of higher activity. We also anticipate reduced charter obligations and increased flexibility on third-party vessels combined with an overall improvement in fleet utilization.

Integrity Management & Digital Solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 2019, our IMDS operating results were lower primarily due to 2020 charges of $128 million for goodwill impairment, asset impairment and write-offs, and other expenses as compared to 2019 charges of $49 million for goodwill and asset impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets and inventory, and other expenses. Exclusive of those charges, operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were higher, as compared to the prior year, due to improved operating efficiencies instituted in the fourth quarter of 2019 and in the first three quarters of 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 2018, our IMDS operating results were lower, primarily due to 2019 charges of $49 million for goodwill and asset impairments, write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment, intangible assets and inventory, and other expenses. 2018 operating income included charges of $7.5 million for write-down of intangible assets.

We anticipate our 2021 operating results for IMDS to improve on higher revenue, with operating income margins averaging in the high-single digit range for the year as compared to 2020. Good order intake at the end of 2020 is expected to begin benefiting the business in the second quarter of 2021.

## Aerospace and Defense Technologies.

Revenue, gross margin and operating income information for our ADTech segment are as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(dollars in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019  \( {}^{*} \)</td><td>2018  \( {}^{*} \)</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue</td><td>341,073</td><td>319,070</td><td>277,149</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Margin</td><td>71,794</td><td>60,462</td><td>51,045</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Margin %</td><td>21 %</td><td>19 %</td><td>18 %</td></tr><tr><td>Operating Income</td><td>56,023</td><td>42,574</td><td>32,734</td></tr><tr><td>Operating Income %</td><td>16 %</td><td>13 %</td><td>12 %</td></tr></table>

 \( ^{*} \)  Recast to reflect segment changes.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 2019, our ADTech segment operating results were higher on higher levels of revenue due to increased activity in both defense subsea technologies and space systems.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 2018, our ADTech segment operating results were higher on higher levels of revenue.

We project our ADTech 2021 revenue to be higher, producing improved results with operating income margins consistent with those achieved in 2020. Growth in this segment is expected to be broad-based, with revenue growth in our government-focused businesses.

Unallocated Expenses. Our unallocated expenses, (i.e., those not associated with a specific business segment), within gross margin consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including



restricted stock units, performance units and bonuses, as well as other general expenses. Our unallocated expenses within operating expenses consist of those expenses within gross margin plus general and administrative expenses related to corporate functions.

The following table sets forth our unallocated expenses for the periods indicated:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(dollars in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Gross margin expenses</td><td>$ (80,804)</td><td>$ (88,384)</td><td>$ (66,960)</td></tr><tr><td>% of revenue</td><td>4 %</td><td>4 %</td><td>4 %</td></tr><tr><td>Operating expenses</td><td>(120,677)</td><td>(128,104)</td><td>(109,309)</td></tr><tr><td>% of revenue</td><td>7 %</td><td>6 %</td><td>6 %</td></tr></table>

Our unallocated expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased compared to 2019, primarily as a result of reduced accruals in 2020 for incentive-based compensation.

Our unallocated expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased compared to 2018, primarily due to higher 2019 expenses related to both short- and long-term performance based incentive compensation expense.

We anticipate unallocated expenses in 2021 to average in the low- to mid-$30 million range per quarter, as we forecast higher accrual rates for projected short- and long-term performance-based incentive compensation expense, as compared to 2020.

Other. The following table sets forth our significant financial statement items below the income (loss) from operations line:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(dollars in thousands)</td><td colspan="4">Year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Interest income</td><td>$ 3,083</td><td>$ 7,893</td><td>$ 9,962</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized</td><td>(43,900)</td><td>(42,711)</td><td>(37,742)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Equity earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates</td><td>2,268</td><td>1,331</td><td>(3,783)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Other income (expense), net</td><td>(14,269)</td><td>(6,621)</td><td>(8,788)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Provision (benefit) for income taxes</td><td>(2,146)</td><td>17,623</td><td>26,494</td><td></td></tr></table>

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased as compared to 2019, primarily due to lower interest rates. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased as compared to 2018, primarily due to lower amounts held in Angolan bonds in 2019.

Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019, and for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018, due to a decrease in our capitalized interest. We capitalized none, $3.4 million, and $7.3 million of interest in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with the new-build vessel, the Ocean Evolution, described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

In addition to interest on borrowings, interest expense includes amortization of loan costs and hedge accounting adjustments, fees for lender commitments under our revolving credit agreement and fees for standby letters of credit and bank guarantees that banks issue on our behalf for performance bonds, bid bonds and self-insurance requirements.

In 2021, we expect interest expense, net of interest income, to be approximately $40 million. We do not anticipate capitalizing interest on any long-lived assets in 2021.

Included in other income (expense), net are foreign currency transaction losses of $14 million, $6.3 million, and $18 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The currency losses in 2020 primarily related to the Angolan kwanza and Brazilian real. Foreign currency losses in 2020 related to the Angolan kwanza were primarily due to declining exchange rates for the Angolan kwanza, which devalued its currency by 36%. Foreign currency losses in 2020 related to the Brazilian real were primarily due to the remeasurement of our U.S. dollar denominated liability balances to the Brazilian real. The currency losses in 2019 and 2018 primarily related to declining exchange rates for the Angolan kwanza, which devalued its currency by 55% and 46% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. We could incur further foreign currency exchange losses in Angolan kwanza, the Brazilian real and other currencies, if currency devaluations occur.



In 2018, other income (expense), net also included a pre-tax gain of $9.3 million resulting from the sale of our cost method investment in ASV Global, LLC in September 2018. The total consideration from the sale was $15 million.

Our tax provision is based on (1) our earnings for the period and other factors affecting the tax provision and (2) the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries that are subject to local income and withholding taxes. Factors that affect our tax rate include our profitability levels in general and the geographic mix in the sources of our results. The effective tax rate for the 12-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the 2020 enactment of the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), the geographic mix of operating revenue and results, and changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete items. Therefore, we do not believe a discussion of the annual effective tax rate is meaningful. We continue to make an assertion to indefinitely reinvest the un repatriated earnings of any foreign subsidiary that would incur incremental tax consequences upon the distribution of such earnings.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law in the United States. In accordance with the recently established rules and procedures under the CARES Act, we filed a 2014 refund claim to carry back our U.S. net operating loss generated in 2019 and amended our 2012 and 2013 federal income tax returns impacted by the net operating loss carryback. Prior to enactment of the CARES Act, such net operating losses could only be carried forward. As a result, we expect to receive combined refunds of approximately $33 million, of which we have received $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The remaining refunds are classified as accounts receivable, net, in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. We also realized a non-cash tax benefit of $8.4 million due to the carryback provision of the CARES Act recognized as a reduction in long-term liabilities.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") was enacted, most notably reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and creating a quasi-territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory transition tax on applicable previously-deferred earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In 2018, based on regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and additional accounting analysis, we reflected the effects of the Tax Act in our financial statements to include the tax impact of $8.8 million related to the one-time mandatory transition tax. In 2019, we identified additional available business credits, which are reflected in our 2018 income tax return as filed, thereby reducing the effects of the Tax Act in our financial statements by $8.2 million, for a total liability of $0.6 million.

We determined it was more likely than not that we would not be able to utilize our remaining unvalued deferred tax assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we recorded an increase in income tax expense of $315 million and $74 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.

In 2021, our income tax payments, estimated to total between $35 million and $40 million, are expected to relate primarily to taxes incurred in countries that impose tax on the basis of in-country revenue, without regard to the profitability of such operations. These cash tax payments do not include the impact of approximately $28 million of CARES Act tax refunds expected to be received in 2021.

## Liquidity and Capital Resources

We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our operations and growth initiatives. As of December 31, 2020, we had working capital of $733 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $452 million. Additionally, we had $500 million available through our revolving credit facility under a credit agreement further described below.

Our nearest maturity of indebtedness is our $500 million of 2024 Notes (as defined below) due in November 2024. Given that the 2024 Notes are currently trading at a market discount to principal amount, we may, from time to time, complete limited repurchases of the 2024 Notes, via open-market or privately negotiated repurchase transactions or otherwise, prior to their maturity date. We can provide no assurances as to the timing of any such repurchases or whether we will complete any such repurchases at all. We do not intend to disclose further information regarding any such repurchase transactions, except to the extent required in our subsequent periodic filings on Forms 10-K or 10-Q, or unless otherwise required by applicable law.

## Operating activities

Our principal source of cash from operating activities is our net income (loss), adjusted for noncash items. Our primary sources and uses of cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Cash Flows from Operating Activities:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net income (loss)</td><td>$ (496,751)</td><td>$ (348,444)</td><td>$ (212,327)</td></tr><tr><td>Noncash adjustments:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Depreciation and amortization, including goodwill impairment</td><td>528,895</td><td>263,427</td><td>293,590</td></tr><tr><td>Loss on impairment of long-lived assets</td><td>70,445</td><td>159,353</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Deferred income tax provision (benefit)</td><td>(4,158)</td><td>(12,268)</td><td>11,912</td></tr><tr><td>Inventory write-downs</td><td>7,038</td><td>21,285</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Other noncash</td><td>6,167</td><td>7,419</td><td>3,405</td></tr><tr><td>Total noncash adjustments</td><td>608,387</td><td>439,216</td><td>308,907</td></tr><tr><td>Accounts receivable and contract assets</td><td>125,541</td><td>(17,561)</td><td>(86,724)</td></tr><tr><td>Inventory</td><td>26,466</td><td>(11,777)</td><td>(12,485)</td></tr><tr><td>Current liabilities</td><td>(138,932)</td><td>76,552</td><td>25,968</td></tr><tr><td>Other changes</td><td>11,936</td><td>19,583</td><td>13,228</td></tr><tr><td>Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities</td><td>$ 136,647</td><td>$ 157,569</td><td>$ 36,567</td></tr></table>

Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 of $137 million, $158 million and $37 million, respectively, was affected by the following:

• Accounts receivable and contract assets - The increase in cash related to accounts receivable and contract assets in 2020 reflects the timing of project milestones and customer payments. The decrease in cash related to accounts receivable and contract assets in 2019 and 2018 reflects higher business activity in the fourth quarter of both years due to commencement of new projects, along with timing of project milestones and customer payments.

• Inventory - The increase in cash related to inventory as of December 31, 2020 corresponds with a decrease in our backlog. The decrease in cash related to inventory as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was primarily due to increases in Manufactured Products' inventory related to increases in backlog.

- Current liabilities - The decrease in cash related to changes in current liabilities in 2020 reflects the timing of vendor payments, lower contract liabilities due to a decrease in deferred customer prepayments, and the annual employee incentive payments related to attainment of specific performance goals in prior periods. The increase in cash related to changes in current liabilities in 2019 reflected higher business activity in the fourth quarter and primarily the timing of vendor payments for related goods and services. The increase in cash in 2018 reflected timing of vendor payments.



## Investing activities

In 2020, we used $53 million in net investing activities, primarily for capital expenditures of $61 million. Our 2020 capital expenditures included $34 million in our Offshore Projects Group segment to add capabilities and maintain current operations and $15 million in our Subsea Robotics segment to upgrade our fleet of work-class ROVs.

In 2019, we used $135 million in net investing activities, primarily for capital expenditures of $148 million. Our 2019 capital expenditures included $73 million in our Subsea Robotics segment to upgrade our fleet of work-class ROVs, adding 13 ROVs to our fleet, $18 million in our Manufactured Products segment to add capabilities and maintain current operations and $42 million in our Offshore Projects Group segment, which included completion of the MSV Ocean Evolution, which was placed in service in the second quarter of 2019.

In 2018, we used $99 million in net investing activities. We used $109 million for capital expenditures and $69 million for business acquisitions, totaling $178 million in investments. These investments included $51 million in our Subsea Robotics segment, $9 million in our Manufactured Products segment and $111 million in our Offshore Projects Group segment, including the acquisition of Ecosse for approximately $68 million. Ecosse builds and operates seabed preparation, route clearance and trenching tools for submarine cables and pipelines on an integrated basis that includes vessels, ROVs and survey services. Enabling technologies acquired in the transaction include Ecosse's modular seabed system, capable of completing the entire trenching work scope (route preparation, boulder clearance, trenching and backfill), and its newly developed trenching system. These systems primarily serve the shallow water offshore renewables market. We also received $70 million of proceeds from maturities and redemptions of Angolan bonds and $15 million of proceeds from the sale of a cost method investment, partially offset by the use of $10 million for the purchase of Angolan central bank bonds indexed to the U.S. dollar.

Our priority continues to be generating cash. In 2021, we expect our organic capital expenditures to total between $50 million and $70 million, exclusive of business acquisitions. This includes approximately $35 million to $40 million of maintenance capital expenditures and $15 million to $30 million of growth capital expenditures. We remain committed to maintaining strong liquidity and believe that our cash position, undrawn revolving credit facility, and debt maturity profile should provide us ample resources and time to address potential future opportunities to improve our returns.

Our capital expenditures during 2020, 2019 and 2018 included $15 million, $73 million and $51 million, respectively, in our Subsea Robotics segment, principally for upgrades to our ROV fleet and to replace certain units we retired. We currently plan to add new ROVs only to meet contractual commitments. We added three, 13 and six ROVs to our fleet and retired three, 38 and 10 units during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulting in a total of 250 work-class systems in our fleet as of December 31, 2020. Over the past three years, we retired a greater number of ROVs than we have added due to market conditions and outlook.

We previously had several deepwater vessels under long-term charter. The last of our long-term charters expired in March 2018. With the current market conditions, our philosophy is to attempt to charter vessels for specific projects on a back-to-back basis or short-term time charter party arrangements with the vessel owners. This generally minimizes our contract exposure by closely matching our obligations with our revenue.

We placed our new-build, Jones Act-compliant, MSV Ocean Evolution into service during the second quarter of 2019. The Ocean Evolution is U.S.-flagged and documented with a coastwise endorsement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The vessel has an overall length of 353 feet, a Class 2 dynamic positioning system, accommodations for 110 personnel, a helideck, a 250-ton active heave-compensated crane, a working moonpool, and two of our high specification 4,000 meter work-class ROVs. The vessel has five low-emission Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") Tier 4 diesel engines. The Tier 4 rating is the EPA's strictest emission requirements for non-road diesel engines. The vessel is also equipped with a satellite communications system capable of transmitting streaming video for real-time work observation by shore-based personnel. The vessel is being used to augment our ability to provide subsea intervention services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. These services are required to perform IMR projects and hardware installations. Due to market conditions that no longer support the prior valuation for this asset, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we determined that the carrying amount of the Ocean Evolution exceeded the fair value and recorded impairment expense of $101 million.

In 2010, we acquired a vessel, which we renamed the Ocean Patriot, and converted it to a dynamically positioned saturation diving and ROV service vessel. We installed a 12-man saturation ("SAT") diving system and one work-class ROV on the vessel, and we placed the vessel into service in December 2011. Due to market conditions that no longer support the prior valuation for this asset, in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the 1st quarter of 2020, we



determined that the carrying amount of the Ocean Patriot exceeded the fair value and recorded impairment expense of $31 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

## Financing activities

In 2020 and 2019, we used $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in financing activities. In 2018, we used $5.6 million in financing activities, with $300 million for a repayment of the term loan facility, substantially offset by $296 million of the proceeds received from the issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes, net of issuance costs.

In November 2014, we completed the public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.650% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Senior Notes"). We pay interest on the 2024 Senior Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2024 Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on November 15, 2024.

In February 2018, we completed the public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes"). We pay interest on the 2028 Senior Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 2028 Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2028. We used the net proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes to repay our term loan indebtedness described further below.

We may redeem some or all of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) at specified redemption prices.

In October 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a group of banks. The Credit Agreement initially provided for a $500 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Subject to certain conditions, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to $300 million at any time upon agreement between us and existing or additional lenders. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement also provided for a $300 million term loan, which we repaid in full in February 2018, using net proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Senior Notes referred to above, and cash on hand.

In February 2018, we entered into Agreement and Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”). Amendment No. 4 amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to January 25, 2023 with the extending lenders, which represent 90% of the existing commitments of the lenders, such that the total commitments for the Revolving Credit Facility will be $500 million until October 25, 2021, and thereafter $450 million until January 25, 2023.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an Adjusted Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (both as defined in the Credit Agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin based on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and, at our election, based on the ratings of our senior unsecured debt by designated ratings services, thereafter to be based on such debt ratings. The applicable margin varies: (1) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, from 0.125% to 0.750%; and (2) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, from 1.125% to 1.750%. The Adjusted Base Rate is the highest of (1) the per annum rate established by the administrative agent as its prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the daily one-month LIBOR plus 1%. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.300% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on our Leverage Ratio. The commitment fees are included as interest expense in our consolidated financial statements.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our subsidiaries to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets and enter into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to a maximum adjusted total Capitalization Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 55%. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and associated remedies. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

We had two interest rate swaps in place relating to a total of $200 million of the 2024 Senior Notes for the period to November 2024. The agreements swapped the fixed interest rate of 4.65% on $100 million of the 2024 Senior Notes to the floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.426% and on another $100 million to one-month LIBOR plus 2.823%. In March 2020, we settled both interest rate swaps with the counterparty for cash proceeds of $13 million. The settlement resulted in a $13 million adjustment to increase our long-term debt balance that will be amortized to interest expense prospectively through the maturity date for the 2024 Senior Notes using the effective interest method. As a result, we amortized $2.0 million to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note



9—"Debt" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a description of these interest rate swaps.

We incurred $6.9 million and $4.2 million of issuance costs related to the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, respectively, and $3.0 million of new loan costs, including costs of the amendments prior to Amendment No. 4, related to the Credit Agreement. These costs, net of accumulated amortization, are included as a reduction of long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as they pertain to the Senior Notes, and in other noncurrent assets as they pertain to the Credit Agreement. We are amortizing these costs to interest expense through the respective maturity dates for the Senior Notes and to January 2023 for the Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

Our maximum outstanding indebtedness during 2020 under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes was $800 million, and our total interest costs, including commitment fees, were $44 million.

We have not guaranteed any debt not reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined by SEC rules.

In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 10 million shares of our common stock on a discretionary basis. The program calls for the repurchases to be made in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of these factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares. Under this program, in 2015, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of our common stock for $100 million. We have not repurchased any shares under the program since 2015. As of December 31, 2020, we retained 11.5 million of the shares we had repurchased through this and a prior repurchase program. We expect to hold the shares repurchased as treasury stock for future use. We account for the shares we hold in treasury under the cost method, at average cost.

Because of our significant foreign operations, we are exposed to currency fluctuations and exchange rate risks. We generally minimize these risks primarily through matching, to the extent possible, revenue and expense in the various currencies in which we operate. Cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2020 relate primarily to our net investments in, including long-term loans to, our foreign subsidiaries. A stronger U.S. dollar against the U.K. pound sterling, Norwegian kroner and Brazilian real could result in lower operating income. See Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

## Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have based the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make various estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods we present. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates; however, our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following discussion summarizes the accounting policies we believe (1) require our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and (2) are the most critical to our reporting of results of operations and financial position.

Revenue Recognition. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which implemented Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). We applied the modified retrospective method to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018, and utilized the practical expedient to reflect the effect on contract modifications in the aggregate. The adoption of this ASU resulted in an after-tax cumulative effect adjustment of $0.5 million recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The comparative information with respect to prior periods has not been retrospectively restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

All of our revenue is realized through contracts with customers. We recognize our revenue according to the contract type. On a daily basis, we recognize service revenue over time for contracts that provide for specific time, material



and equipment charges, which we bill periodically, ranging from weekly to monthly. We use the input method to faithfully depict revenue recognition, because each day of service provided represents value to the customer. The performance obligations in these contracts are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as the work is performed. We have used the expedient available to recognize revenue when the billing corresponds to the value realized by the customer where appropriate.

We account for significant fixed-price contracts, mainly relating to our Manufactured Products segment, and to a lesser extent in our Offshore Projects Group and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments, by recognizing revenue over time using an input, cost-to-cost measurement percentage-of-completion method. We use the input cost-to-cost method to faithfully depict revenue recognition. This commonly used method allows appropriate calculation of progress on our contracts. A performance obligation is satisfied as we create a product on behalf of the customer over the life of the contract. The remainder of our revenue is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, thus satisfying the performance obligation.

We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping as an expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by us from customers, are excluded from revenue.

In our service-based business lines, which principally charge on a dayrate basis for services provided, there is no significant impact in the pattern of revenue and profit recognition as a result of implementation of ASC 606. In our product-based business lines, we have seen impacts on the pattern of our revenue and profit recognition in our contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, as a result of the requirement to exclude uninstalled materials and significant inefficiencies from the measure of progress. This occurs predominantly in our Manufactured Products segment.

We apply judgment in the determination and allocation of transaction price to performance obligations, and the subsequent recognition of revenue, based on the facts and circumstances of each contract. We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and, where required, reflect revisions to profitability in earnings immediately. If an element of variable consideration has the potential for a significant future reversal of revenue, we will constrain that variable consideration to a level intended to remove the potential future reversal. If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the projected loss in full when we determine it. In prior years, we have recorded adjustments to earnings as a result of revisions to contract estimates; however, we did not have any material adjustments during the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 or 2019. There could be significant adjustments to overall contract costs in the future, due to changes in facts and circumstances.

In general, our payment terms consist of those services billed regularly as provided and those products delivered at a point in time, which are invoiced after the performance obligation is satisfied. Our product and service contracts with milestone payments due at agreed progress points during the contract are invoiced when those milestones are reached, which may differ from the timing of revenue recognition. Our payment terms generally do not provide financing of contracts to customers, nor do we receive financing from customers as a result of these terms.

Goodwill. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, macro and reporting unit specific economic factors (for example, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities and acts by governments and courts.

In our evaluation of goodwill, we perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. Under the qualitative approach, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we are required to perform the quantitative analysis to determine the fair value for the reporting unit. Thereafter, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We also consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill.

Our estimates of fair values for our reporting units require us to use significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 fair value measurement, including assumptions related to future performance, risk-adjusted discount rates, future commodity prices and demand for our services and estimates of expected realizable values.



In the years ending December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, as a result of our goodwill impairment testing, we recognized aggregate losses of $344 million, $15 million and $76 million, respectively. See Note 5—“Impairments” and Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area” in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of these impairments.

Property and Equipment, Long-lived Intangible Assets and Right-of-Use Operating Lease Assets. We periodically and upon the occurrence of a triggering event review the realizability of our property and equipment, long-lived intangible assets and right-of-use operating lease assets to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we base our evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefits of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flows analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.

Our estimates of fair values for our asset groups require us to use significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, including assumptions related to future performance, risk-adjusted discount rates, future commodity prices and demand for our services and estimates of expected realizable value.

In the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized long-lived asset impairment losses of $70 million and $159 million, respectively. See Note 5—“Impairments” and Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area” in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of these impairments.

For assets held for sale or disposal, the fair value of the asset is measured using fair market value less cost to sell. Assets are classified as held-for-sale when we have a plan for disposal of certain assets and those assets meet the held for sale criteria.

We charge the costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment to operations as incurred, while we capitalize the costs of improvements that extend asset lives or functionality.

Income Taxes. Our tax provisions are based on our expected taxable income, statutory rates and tax-planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of taxable income in any jurisdiction requires the interpretation of the related tax laws. We are at risk that a taxing authority's final determination of our tax liabilities may differ from our interpretation.

We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes on our financial statements. Current income tax expense represents either nonresident withholding taxes or the liabilities expected to be reflected on our income tax returns for the current year, while the net deferred income tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities as reported on our balance sheet.

We establish valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. Provisions for valuation allowances impact our income tax provision in the period in which such adjustments are identified and recorded.

For a summary of our major accounting policies and a discussion of recently adopted accounting standards, please see Note 1—“Summary of Major Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

## Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by SEC rules.



## Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2020, we had payments due under contractual obligations as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(dollars in thousands)</td><td colspan="6">Payments due by period</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>2021</td><td>2022-2023</td><td>2024-2025</td><td>After 2025</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Long-term Debt</td><td>$ 800,000</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 500,000</td><td>$ 300,000</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Operating Lease Liabilities</td><td>239,101</td><td>28,892</td><td>49,082</td><td>38,534</td><td>122,593</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Purchase Obligations</td><td>165,682</td><td>161,374</td><td>2,932</td><td>838</td><td>538</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Other Long-term Obligations reflected on our Balance Sheet under U.S. GAAP</td><td>38,884</td><td>81</td><td>195</td><td>247</td><td>38,361</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>TOTAL</td><td>$ 1,243,667</td><td>$ 190,347</td><td>$ 52,209</td><td>$ 539,619</td><td>$ 461,492</td><td></td></tr></table>

Pursuant to a service agreement we entered into with our Chairman of the Board of Directors, we are obligated to provide for medical coverage on an after-tax basis to him, his spouse and two adult children for their lives. Our total accrued liabilities, current and long-term, under this post-employment benefit were $1.8 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

## Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, using historical U.S. dollar accounting, or historical cost. Statements based on historical cost, however, do not adequately reflect the cumulative effect of increasing costs and changes in the purchasing power of the dollar, especially during times of significant and continued inflation.

In order to minimize the negative impact of inflation on our operations, we attempt to cover the increased cost of anticipated changes in labor, material and service costs, either through an estimate of those changes, which we reflect in the original price, or through price escalation clauses in our contracts. Our success in achieving price escalation clauses has become more challenging, due to the protracted downturn and over-capacity in the energy market in which we compete. Inflation has not had a material effect on our revenue or income from operations in the past three years, and no such effect is expected in the near future.



## Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are currently exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal course of business. These risks relate to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Except for our exposure in Angola, we do not believe these risks are material. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for speculative or trading purposes. When we have a significant amount of borrowings, we typically manage our exposure to interest rate changes through the use of a combination of fixed- and floating-rate debt. See Note 9—“Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a description of our revolving credit facility and interest rates on our borrowings. We had two interest rate swaps in place relating to a total of $200 million of the 2024 Senior Notes. These agreements swapped the fixed interest rate of 4.650% on $100 million of the 2024 Senior Notes to the floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.426% and on another $100 million to one-month LIBOR plus 2.823%. In March 2020, we terminated these interest rate swaps. See Note 9—“Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information regarding these interest rate swaps. We believe significant interest rate changes would not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows.

Because we operate in various regions in the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for most of our international operations is the applicable local currency. A stronger U.S. dollar against the U.K. pound sterling, the Norwegian kroner and the Brazilian real could result in lower operating income. We manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally through arranging compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible currency and, to the extent possible, by limiting compensation received in other currencies to amounts necessary to meet obligations denominated in those currencies. We use the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date to translate assets and liabilities when the functional currency is the local currency, resulting in translation adjustments that we reflect as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the equity section of our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded net adjustments to our equity accounts of $(25) million, $5.3 million and $(47) million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Negative adjustments reflect the net impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies for locations where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Conversely, positive adjustments reflect the effect of a weakening U.S. dollar.

We recorded foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $(14) million, $(6.3) million and $(18) million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We recorded foreign currency transaction losses related to the Angolan kwanza and Brazilian real as a component of other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in those respective periods. Foreign currency gains (losses) related to the Brazilian real of $(7.3) million, $(0.7) million and $0.6 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were primarily due to the remeasurement of our U.S. dollar denominated liability balances to the Brazilian real. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) related to the Angolan kwanza of $(2.8) million, $(4.8) million and $(19) million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were primarily due to the remeasurement of our Angolan kwanza cash balances to U.S. dollars. Angola devalued its currency by 36%, 55% and 46% in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Any conversion of cash balances from kwanza to U.S. dollars is controlled by the central bank in Angola. During 2020 and 2019, we were able to repatriate $11 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of cash from Angola.

As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had the equivalent of approximately $4.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of kwanza cash balances in Angola, reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

To mitigate our currency exposure risk in Angola, we have used kwanza to purchase equivalent Angolan central bank (Banco Nacional de Angola) bonds. The bonds are denominated as U.S. dollar equivalents, so that, upon payment of semi-annual interest and principal upon maturity, payment is made in kwanza, equivalent to the respective U.S. dollars at the then-current exchange rate. During 2018, we received a total of $70 million in proceeds from maturities and redemptions of Angolan bonds and reinvested $10 million of the proceeds in similar assets. Because we intend to sell the bonds if we are able to repatriate the proceeds, we have classified these bonds as available-for-sale securities, and they are recorded in other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We estimated the fair market value of the Angolan bonds to be $10 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 using quoted market prices. Since the market for the Angolan bonds is not an active market, the fair value of the Angolan bonds is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP.



## Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

In this report, our consolidated financial statements and supplementary data appear following the signature page to this report and are incorporated into this item by reference.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

## Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

## Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We developed our internal control over financial reporting through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of various controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of controls is based in part on various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any system of controls will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). This evaluation included a review of the documentation surrounding our financial reporting controls, an evaluation of the design effectiveness of these controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of these controls and an evaluation of our overall control environment. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements, has audited our internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report that follows.



# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Oceanering International, Inc.

## Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Oceanering International, Inc. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Oceanering International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and our report dated February 26, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

## Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Oceaneering International, Inc.

## Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oceaneering International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 26, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

## Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.



## Valuation of long-lived assets

Description of the
Matter
As discussed in Note 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and increase in the supply of crude oil in 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators, determined that certain assets were not recoverable and were impaired. To determine the fair value of these assets, the Company utilized a combination of market and cost valuation methods. As a result, the Company recognized a $69 million impairment loss, which is the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of these assets.

Auditing the Company’s impairment measurement involved significant judgment to assess the appropriateness of the valuation method or methods and a high degree of subjectivity as estimates underlying the determination of fair value were based in part on assumptions of economic obsolescence and future performance.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s long-lived impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the significant judgments and assumptions described above.

To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s asset groups, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies utilized and testing the key assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We involved a valuation specialist to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s model, valuation methodology, significant assumptions and perform corroborative calculations. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, historical results, and other relevant factors. We reviewed for contrary evidence related to the determination of the fair value of the asset groups, including reviewing relevant market data, historical cost data, and internal Company forecasts.

## Revenues recognized over-time utilizing cost to cost inputs

Description of the
Matter
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized 24% of its revenues utilizing the cost-to-cost input method. As discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements, the Company generally recognizes estimated contract revenue based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs.

Auditing management’s calculation of revenues recognized under the cost to cost method was complex and subjective due to the significant estimation required in determining the estimated costs remaining on the project. In particular, the estimates of remaining costs associated with materials and labor are sensitive and may be impacted by factors outside of the Company’s control.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process for revenues utilizing the cost to cost input method, including management’s review of the estimated costs to complete and associated revenues.

To test the estimated costs to complete, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the appropriate application of the revenue recognition method utilized, and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its estimation process. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to external and internal information, such as vendor quotes and invoices, manufacturing schedules, purchase orders, engineering design requirements, manufacturing bills of lading, and other similar support. Additionally, we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates through a lookback analysis of prior estimates of costs to complete compared to actual results.

# NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

## 1. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering," "we" or "us") and our 50% or more owned and controlled subsidiaries. We also consolidate entities that are determined to be variable interest entities if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary; otherwise, we account for those entities using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method to account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies of which we own an equity interest of between 20% and 50% and as to which we have significant influence, but not control, over operations. We use the cost method for all other long-term investments. Investments in entities that we do not consolidate are reflected on our balance sheet in other non-current assets. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information. In the third quarter of 2020, we changed our organizational structure as part of the transformation to realign our businesses to achieve greater cost efficiencies and to bring together business units that frequently work together and promote increased synergies in bidding, project management and the use of offshore technicians. As a result, information that our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews changed. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we are reporting our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments and have recast certain prior period amounts to conform to the way we now manage our businesses and monitor segment performance as described in Note 3—“Revenue” and Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area.” We also changed our reporting units to realign with the changes in our operating segments and reassessed impairments for long-lived assets and goodwill as described in Note 5—“Impairments.”

Reclassifications. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of investment.

Allowance for Credit Loss—Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Costs. On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as amended (“ASC 326”), which introduces a new credit reserving methodology known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including accounts receivable, contract assets and held-to-maturity loan receivables. Under the CECL model, we identify allowances for credit loss based on future expected losses when accounts receivable, contract assets or held-to-maturity loan receivables are created rather than when losses are probable.

We use the loss-rate method in developing the allowance for credit losses, which involves identifying pools of assets with similar risk characteristics, reviewing historical losses within the last five years and consideration of reasonable supportable forecasts of economic indicators. Changes in estimates, developing trends and other new information could have material effects on future evaluations.

We monitor the credit quality of our accounts receivable and other financing receivable amounts by frequent customer interaction, following economic and industry trends and reviewing specific customer data. Our other receivable amounts include contract assets and held-to-maturity loans receivable, which we consider to have a low risk of loss.

We are monitoring the impacts from the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak and volatility in the oil and natural gas markets on our customers and various counterparties. We have considered the current and expected economic and



market conditions, as a result of COVID-19, in determining credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As a result of the adoption of ASC 326, we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.3 million as of January 1, 2020, which decreased retained earnings and increased the allowance for credit losses. We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method. Prior periods were not restated. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2019, which we determined using the specific identification method, in accordance with previously applicable U.S. GAAP. As of December 31, 2020, our allowance for credit losses was $3.9 million for accounts receivable and $0.6 million for other receivables.

Financial assets are written off when deemed uncollectible and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we wrote off accounts receivable of $11 million of which approximately 50% previously had been reserved.

We have elected to apply the practical expedient available under ASC 326 to exclude the accrued interest receivable balance that is included in our held-to-maturity loans receivable. The amount excluded as of December 31, 2020 was $1.5 million.

Accounts receivable are considered to be past-due after the end of the contractual terms agreed to with the customer. There were no material past-due amounts that we consider uncollectible for our financial assets as of December 31, 2020. We generally do not require collateral from our customers.

See Note 2—“Accounting Standards Update” for more information on our adoption of our adoption of ASC 326.

Inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost using the weighted-average method. We periodically review the value of items in inventory and record write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on our assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of services and products. In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded inventory write-offs of $7.0 million and $21 million, respectively.

Property and Equipment, Long-Lived Intangible Assets and Right-of-Use Operating Lease Assets. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of eight years for Remotely Operated Vehicles (“ROVs”), three to 25 years for marine services equipment (such as vessels and diving equipment) and three to 25 years for buildings, improvements and other equipment.

Long-lived intangible assets, primarily acquired in connection with business combinations, include trade names, intellectual property and customer relationships and are being amortized with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 3 years.

For information regarding right-of-use operating lease assets, see “Leases” below.

We charge the costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment to operations as incurred, while we capitalize the costs of improvements that extend asset lives or functionality.

We capitalize interest on assets where the construction period is anticipated to be more than three months. We did not capitalize interest in 2020 as compared to $3.4 million and $7.3 million of interest in 2019 and 2018, respectively. We do not allocate general administrative costs to capital projects. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved and any resulting gain or loss is included as an adjustment to cost of services and products.

Our management periodically, and upon the occurrence of a triggering event, reviews the realizability of our property and equipment, long-lived intangible assets and right-of-use operating lease assets to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we base our evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefits of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flows analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. For additional information regarding write-downs and write-offs of property and equipment, long-lived intangible assets and right-of-use operating lease assets in the years ended



December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 see Note 5—“Impairments” and Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area.”

For assets held for sale or disposal, the fair value of the asset is measured using fair market value less estimated costs to sell. Assets are classified as held-for-sale when we have a plan for disposal of certain assets and those assets meet the held for sale criteria.

Goodwill. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In our annual evaluation of goodwill, we perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. Under the qualitative approach, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we are required to perform the quantitative analysis to determine the fair value for the reporting unit. We then compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We also consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. For additional information regarding impairments of goodwill in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, see Note 5—“Impairments” and Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area.”

Business Acquisitions. We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, with acquisition prices being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition.

In March 2018, we acquired Ecosse Subsea Limited (“Ecosse”) for $68 million in cash. Headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, Ecosse builds and operates tools for seabed preparation, route clearance and trenching for the installation of submarine cables and pipelines. These services are offered on an integrated basis that includes vessels, ROV’s and survey services. We have accounted for this acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. We have included Ecosse’s operations in our consolidated financial statements starting from the date of closing, and its operating results are reflected in our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”) segment.

Dispositions. In September 2018, we consummated the sale of our cost method investment in ASV Global, LLC for $15 million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $9.3 million, which is reflected in other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue Recognition. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which implemented Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). We applied the modified retrospective method to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018, and utilized the practical expedient to reflect the effect on contract modifications in the aggregate. The adoption of this ASU resulted in an after-tax cumulative effect adjustment of $0.5 million recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

All of our revenue is realized through contracts with customers. We recognize our revenue according to the contract type. On a daily basis, we recognize service revenue over time for contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which we bill periodically, ranging from weekly to monthly. We use the input method to faithfully depict revenue recognition, because each day of service provided represents value to the customer. The performance obligations in these contracts are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as the work is performed. When appropriate, we apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the amount invoiced when the invoice corresponds directly to the value of our performance to date.

We account for significant fixed-price contracts, mainly relating to our Manufactured Products segment, and to a lesser extent in our OPG and Aerospace and Defense Technologies (“ADTech”) segments, by recognizing revenue over time using an input, cost-to-cost measurement percentage-of-completion method. In 2020 and 2019, we accounted for 24% and 21%, respectively, of our revenue using the input, cost-to-cost measurement percentage-of-completion method. We use the input cost-to-cost method to faithfully depict revenue recognition. This commonly used method allows appropriate calculation of progress on our contracts. A performance obligation is satisfied as we create a product on behalf of the customer over the life of the contract. The remainder of our revenue is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, thus satisfying the performance obligation.



We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping as an expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by us from customers, are excluded from revenue.

In our service-based business lines, which principally charge on a dayrate basis for services provided, there is no significant impact in the pattern of revenue and profit recognition as a result of implementation of ASC 606. In our product-based business lines, predominantly in our Manufactured Products segment, we have seen impacts on the pattern of our revenue and profit recognition in our contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, as a result of the requirement to exclude uninstalled materials and significant inefficiencies from the measure of progress.

We apply judgment in the determination and allocation of transaction price to performance obligations, and the subsequent recognition of revenue, based on the facts and circumstances of each contract. We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and, where required, reflect revisions to profitability in earnings immediately. If an element of variable consideration has the potential for a significant future reversal of revenue, we will constrain that variable consideration to a level intended to remove the potential future reversal. If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the projected loss in full when we determine it. In prior years, we have recorded adjustments to earnings as a result of revisions to contract estimates; however, we did not have any material adjustments during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. However, there could be significant adjustments to overall contract costs in the future, due to changes in facts and circumstances.

In general, our payment terms consist of those services billed regularly as provided and those products delivered at a point in time, which are invoiced after the performance obligation is satisfied. Our product and service contracts with milestone payments due at agreed progress points during the contract are invoiced when those milestones are reached, which may differ from the timing of revenue recognition. Our payment terms generally do not provide financing of contracts to customers, nor do we receive financing from customers as a result of these terms.

See Note 3—“Revenue” for more information on our revenue from contracts with customers.

Leases. Effective as of January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities for virtually all leases and updates previous accounting standards for lessors to align certain requirements of the new leases standard and the revenue recognition accounting standard. We elected to apply the transition method that allowed us to apply this update at the adoption date and adopted the practical expedients that permitted us to retain the identification and classification of leases made under the previously applicable accounting standards. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2019 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $5.9 million recorded to retained earnings, with corresponding adjustments to increase ROU assets and lease liabilities by $185 million and $191 million, respectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially affect our net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. Comparative information with respect to prior periods has not been retrospectively restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception, whether as a lessee or a lessor. We take into consideration the elements of an identified asset, right to control and the receipt of economic benefit in making those determinations.

As a lessor, we lease certain types of equipment along with the provision of services and utilize the expedient allowing us to combine the lease and non-lease components into a combined component that is accounted for (1) under ASC 842, when the lease component is predominant, and (2) under the accounting standard “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), when the service component is predominant. In general, when we have a service component, it is typically the predominant element and leads to accounting under ASC 606.

As a lessor, we lease certain types of equipment, often providing services at the same time. These leases can be priced on a dayrate or lump-sum basis for periods ranging from a few days to multi-year contracts. These leases are negotiated on commercial terms at market rates and many carry standard options to extend or terminate at our customer's discretion. These leases generally do not contain options to purchase, material restrictions or covenants that impact our accounting for leases.

As a lessee, we lease land, buildings, vessels and equipment for the operation of our business and to support some of our service line revenue streams. These generally carry lease terms that range from days for operational and support equipment to 15 years for land and buildings. These leases are negotiated on commercial terms at market rates and many carry standard options to extend or terminate at our discretion. When the exercise of those options



is reasonably certain, we include them in the lease assessment. Our leases do not contain material restrictions or covenants that impact our accounting for them, nor do we provide residual value guarantees.

As a lessee, we utilize the practical expedients to not recognize leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet and to combine lease and non-lease components together and account for the combined component as a lease for all asset classes, except real estate.

Right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement or modification date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of future payments. In determining the incremental borrowing rate, we considered our external credit ratings, bond yields for us and our identified peers, the risk-free rate in geographic regions where we operate, and the impact associated with providing collateral over a similar term as the lease for an amount equal to the future lease payments. Our right-of-use operating lease assets also include any lease prepayments made and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 4—“Leases” for more information on our operating leases and Note 5—“Impairments” for more information on determination of impairment indicators for our right-of-use assets.

Stock-Based Compensation. We recognize all share-based payments to directors, officers and employees over their vesting periods in the income statement based on their estimated fair values. For more information on our employee benefit plans, see Note 12—“Employee Benefit Plans.”

Income Taxes. We provide income taxes at appropriate tax rates in accordance with our interpretation of the respective tax laws and regulations after review and consultation with our internal tax department, tax advisors and, in some cases, legal counsel in various jurisdictions. We provide for deferred income taxes for differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and provide a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

We recognize an expense or benefit for an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the uncertain tax position is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that we believe is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We account for any applicable interest and penalties on these uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes on our financial statements.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) made prospective changes beginning in 2018, including a base erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). We have elected to account for GILTI as a current period expense when incurred.

For more information on income taxes, see Note 7—“Income Taxes.”

Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for several of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation adjustments are recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders' equity. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded $14 million, $6.3 million, and $18 million of foreign currency transaction losses in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and those amounts are included as a component of other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Earnings (Loss) per Share. For each year presented, the only difference between our annual calculated weighted average basic and diluted number of shares outstanding is the effect of outstanding restricted stock units.

Repurchase Plan. In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 10 million shares of our common stock on a discretionary basis. The program calls for the repurchases to be made in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as



amended, subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of these factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular number of shares. Under the program, in 2015, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of our common stock for $100 million. We have not repurchased any shares under the program since 2015. As of December 31, 2020, we retained 12 million of the shares we had repurchased through this and a prior repurchase program. We expect to hold the shares repurchased as treasury stock for future use. We account for the shares we hold in treasury under the cost method, at average cost.

Financial Instruments. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether a derivative instrument is designated as part of a hedge relationship and, if it is, the type of hedge relationship. See Note 9—“Debt” for information relative to the interest rate swaps we had in effect.

## 2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, which introduces a new credit reserving model known as the CECL model. The adoption of ASC 326 did not materially affect our net earnings and had no impact on our cash flows. Comparative information with respect to prior periods has not been retrospectively restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). This standard eliminated the prior requirement to disclose the amount or reason for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the requirement to disclose the valuation methodology for level 3 fair value measurements. The standard added disclosure requirements for level 3 fair value measurements, including the requirement to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income during the period and the disclosure of other relevant quantitative information for certain unobservable inputs. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, did not have a material impact on our disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on applying contract modifications and hedge accounting to facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is scheduled to be phased out in 2021, to alternate rates such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). This ASU was effective upon issuance and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate the impact and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

## Contract Balances

Our contracts with milestone payments have, in the aggregate, a significant impact on the contract asset and the contract liability balances. Milestones are contractually agreed with customers and relate to significant events across the contract lives. Some milestones are achieved before revenue is recognized, resulting in a contract liability, while other milestones are achieved after revenue is recognized resulting in a contract asset.



The following table provides information about contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="2">December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>Contract assets</td><td>$ 221,997</td><td>$ 221,288</td></tr><tr><td>Contract liabilities</td><td>50,046</td><td>117,342</td></tr></table>

Our payment terms consist of those services billed regularly as provided and those products delivered at a point in time, which are invoiced after the performance obligation is satisfied. Our product and service contracts with milestone payments due at agreed progress points during the contract are invoiced when those milestones are reached, which may differ from the timing of revenue recognition.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, contract assets increased by $0.7 million from its opening balance, due to the amounts billed of $1.7 billion slightly exceeding revenue recognized. Contract liabilities decreased $67 million from its opening balance, due to revenue recognition of $97 million exceeding deferrals of milestone payments and billings totaling $30 million.

## Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of December 31, 2020 are noted above. In arriving at this value, we have used two practical expedients available to us and are not disclosing amounts in relation to performance obligations: (1) that are part of contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less; or (2) on contracts where we recognize revenue in line with the billing.

Due to the nature of our service contracts in our Subsea Robotics, OPG, Integrity Management & Digital Solutions ("IMDS") and ADTech segments, the majority of our contracts either have initial contract terms of one year or less or have customer option cancellation clauses that lead us to consider the original expected duration of one year or less.

In our Manufactured Products and ADTech segments, we have long-term contracts that extend beyond one year, and these make up the majority of the performance obligations balance reported as of December 31, 2020. We also have shorter-term product contracts with an expected original duration of one year or less that have been excluded.

As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $217 million. In arriving at this value, we have used two expedients available to us and are not disclosing amounts in relation to performance obligations: (1) that are part of contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less; or (2) on contracts where we recognize revenue in line with the billing. Of this amount, we expect to recognize revenue of $173 million over the next 12 months and substantially all of the remaining balance of $44 million will be recognized within the next 24 months.

Where appropriate, we have made estimates within the transaction price of elements of variable consideration within the contracts and constrained those amounts to a level where we consider it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The amount of revenue recognized in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 that was associated with performance obligations completed or partially completed in prior periods was not significant.

As of December 31, 2020, there were no significant outstanding liability balances for refunds or returns due to the nature of our contracts and the services and products we provide. Our warranties are limited to assurance warranties that are of a standard length and are not considered to be material rights. The majority of our contracts consist of a single performance obligation. When there are multiple obligations, we look for observable evidence of stand-alone selling prices on which to base the allocation. This involves judgment as to the appropriateness of the observable evidence relating to the facts and circumstances of the contract. If we do not have observable evidence, we estimate stand-alone selling prices by taking a cost-plus-margin approach, using typical margins from the type of product or service, customer and regional geography involved.



## Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

In line with the available practical expedient, we capitalize costs to obtain a contract when those amounts are significant and the contract is expected at inception to exceed one year in duration. Otherwise, the costs are expensed in the period when incurred. Costs to obtain a contract primarily consist of bid and proposal costs, which are incremental to our fixed costs. There were no balances or amortization of costs to obtain a contract in the current reporting periods.

Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of certain mobilization costs incurred to provide services or products to our customers. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance. The closing balance of costs to fulfill a contract was $8.3 million and $15 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recorded amortization expense of $6.6 million, $8.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively. No impairment costs were recognized.

## 4. Leases

We adopted the new lease standard, Topic 842, on January 1, 2019. Supplemental information about our operating leases follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="2">December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>Assets:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Right-of-use operating lease assets</td><td>$ 141,206</td><td>$ 163,238</td></tr><tr><td>Liabilities:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Current</td><td>$ 18,798</td><td>$ 19,863</td></tr><tr><td>Noncurrent</td><td>156,074</td><td>160,988</td></tr><tr><td>Lease liabilities</td><td>$ 174,872</td><td>$ 180,851</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="2">December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>Lease Term and Discount Rate:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)</td><td>10</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Weighted-average discount rate</td><td>6.1 %</td><td>6.2 %</td></tr></table>

During the first quarter of 2020, we determined there were impairment indicators present for reporting units in our Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax right-of-use operating lease impairments of $17 million. In the year ended December 31, 2019, we determined there were impairment indicators present for our Asset Integrity reporting unit and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax right-of-use operating lease asset impairment of $5.4 million. See Note 5—“Impairments” for more information on determination of impairment indicators for our right-of-use assets.

Operating lease cost reflects the lease expense resulting from amortization over the respective lease terms of our operating leases with initial lease terms greater than 12 months. Our short-term lease cost consists of expense for our operating leases with initial lease terms of 12 months or less that are not recorded on our balance sheet. The components of lease cost are as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="2">Year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>Lease Cost:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Operating lease cost</td><td>$ 34,030</td><td>$ 40,310</td></tr><tr><td>Short-term lease cost</td><td>52,886</td><td>73,005</td></tr><tr><td>Total Lease Cost</td><td>$ 86,916</td><td>$ 113,315</td></tr></table>



As of December 31, 2020, future maturities of lease liabilities for our operating leases with an initial lease term of more than 12 months were as follows:

<table><tr><td colspan="2">Maturities of Lease Liabilities (in thousands)</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">For the year ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2021</td><td>$ 28,892</td></tr><tr><td>2022</td><td>26,740</td></tr><tr><td>2023</td><td>22,342</td></tr><tr><td>2024</td><td>19,424</td></tr><tr><td>2025</td><td>19,110</td></tr><tr><td>Thereafter</td><td>122,593</td></tr><tr><td>Total lease payments</td><td>239,101</td></tr><tr><td>Less: Interest</td><td>(64,229)</td></tr><tr><td>Present Value of Lease Liabilities</td><td>$ 174,872</td></tr></table>

## 5. IMPAIRMENTS

## Goodwill

During the first quarter of 2020, due to the protracted energy downturn compounded by demand destruction resulting from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and insufficient control of crude oil supply levels during the quarter, as well as our customers' continued focus on cost discipline, we determined that impairment indicators were present and we were required to perform a quantitative analysis for our Subsea Products–Service, Technology and Rentals (“ST&R”), Subsea Products–Manufactured Products, Subsea Projects, Asset Integrity and Advanced Technologies–Commercial reporting units. Based on these quantitative analyses, the fair value was determined to be less than the carrying value for each of those reporting units, with the exception of Subsea Products–Manufactured Products. As a result, for our Subsea Products–ST&R, Subsea Projects, Asset Integrity and Advanced Technologies–Commercial reporting units, we recorded pre-tax goodwill impairment losses of $51 million, $130 million, $111 million and $11 million, respectively. For our ROVs and Advanced Technologies–Government reporting units, qualitative assessments were performed; and we concluded that it was more likely than not the fair value of each of those reporting units was more than the carrying value of the reporting unit and, therefore, no impairments were recorded for those reporting units.

Our third quarter 2020 change in our operating segments resulted in one reporting unit for each of our new segments. The following table reflects goodwill impairments as recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, and allocated, based on historical cost, in the third quarter of 2020 to the reporting segments in our new organizational structure:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="8">Three Months Ended March 31, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>As originally recorded</td><td colspan="7">As recast to reflect segment changes</td></tr><tr><td>Segment/Reporting Unit</td><td>Goodwill Impairment</td><td>Subsea Robotics</td><td>Manufactured Products</td><td>OPG</td><td>IMDS</td><td>Total</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Products/ST&amp;R</td><td>$ 51,302</td><td>$ 17,457</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 33,845</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 51,302</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Projects/Subsea Projects</td><td>129,562</td><td>84,661</td><td>—</td><td>32,440</td><td>12,461</td><td>129,562</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Asset Integrity/Asset Integrity</td><td>110,753</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>110,753</td><td>110,753</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Advanced Technologies/Commercial</td><td>11,388</td><td>—</td><td>11,388</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>11,388</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Total goodwill impairment</td><td>$ 303,005</td><td>$ 102,118</td><td>$ 11,388</td><td>$ 66,285</td><td>$ 123,214</td><td>$ 303,005</td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>

After reallocation of our goodwill to our new segments in the third quarter of 2020, we determined that impairment indicators were present and performed quantitative analyses for our Subsea Robotics and Manufactured Products reporting units. Based on these quantitative analyses, the fair value was determined to be less than the carrying value for our Manufactured Products unit, but not for our Subsea Robotics reporting unit. As a result, for our Manufactured Products unit, we recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $41 million.



Our estimates of fair values for our reporting units determined in the first and third quarters of 2020 required us to use significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, including assumptions related to future performance, risk-adjusted discount rates, future commodity prices and demand for our services and estimates of expected realizable values. For our cash flow projections in each of those periods, we utilized a weighted-average cost of capital ranging from 11% to 15% and a terminal value based on the Gordon Growth Model, assuming an expected long-term growth rate of 2%.

In our 2020 annual goodwill evaluation, we performed qualitative assessments for our two reporting units, Subsea Robotics and ADTech, with remaining goodwill balances. We concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of these reporting units was more than the carrying value of the reporting unit.

In our 2019 annual goodwill evaluation, we performed quantitative assessments for (1) our Subsea Projects reporting unit, due to its fair value being less than carrying value in the prior year, and (2) our Asset Integrity reporting unit, due to deterioration in its business environment. In our quantitative analyses for the Subsea Projects and Asset Integrity reporting units, we estimated the fair values by weighting the results from the income approach and the market approach. These valuation approaches considered a number of factors that included prospective financial information, operating margins, growth rates, terminal values, discount rates and comparable multiples of similar companies in our industry and required us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability of our business. Based on these quantitative tests, we determined that the fair value for our Subsea Projects reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount and there was no impairment. For our Asset Integrity reporting unit, the fair value was less than the carrying value and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $15 million. For the remaining reporting units, qualitative assessments were performed, and we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each such reporting unit was more than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Our third quarter 2020 change in our operating segments resulted in goodwill impairment as recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 to our Asset Integrity reporting unit, to be allocated, based on historical cost, to our IMDS reporting segment and unit in our new organizational structure.

In our 2018 annual goodwill evaluation, we performed a qualitative assessment for our Subsea Projects reporting unit. Due to the protracted downturn in survey and vessel activity, we determined that it was more likely than not the fair value was less than the carrying amount. As a result, we determined that a quantitative assessment was necessary for our Subsea Projects reporting unit. In our 2018 quantitative analysis for the Subsea Projects reporting unit, we estimated the fair value by weighting the results from the income approach and the market approach. These valuation approaches considered a number of factors that included prospective financial information, operating margins, growth rates, terminal values, discount rates and comparable multiples of similar companies in our industry and required us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability of our business. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that the fair value for Subsea Projects was less than the carrying value and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $76 million in the Subsea Project reporting unit. The goodwill impairment was included as a component of “Income (loss) from operations” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the remaining reporting units, qualitative assessments were performed, and we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each such reporting unit was more than the carrying value of the reporting unit.

Our third quarter 2020 change in our operating segments resulted in one reporting unit for each of our new segments. The following table reflects goodwill impairments as recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 to our Subsea Projects reporting unit, and allocated, based on historical cost, in the third quarter of 2020 to the applicable reporting segments in our new organizational structure:

## Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets

After reallocation of our long-lived assets to our new segments in the third quarter of 2020, we determined that impairment indicators were present and performed a quantitative assessment for our Manufactured Products asset groups. Based on that assessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the asset groups within Manufactured Products was more than the carrying value of each asset group and, therefore, no impairment was required. We did not identify any triggering events for our asset groups other than those included in Manufactured Products during the third quarter of 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, due to the protracted energy downturn compounded by demand destruction resulting from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and insufficient control of crude oil supply levels during the quarter, as well as our customers' continued focus on cost discipline, we determined that impairment indicators were present within certain of our asset groups. To measure fair value for these asset groups, we used the following approaches:

- Subsea Distribution Solutions U.K. - We utilized the cost approach and considered economic obsolescence under the income approach to determine fair value of the property and equipment.

- Subsea Distribution Solutions Brazil and Angola - We utilized a combination of market and cost approaches to measure fair values.

- Shallow Water vessels - We utilized the cost approach and considered historical, current and anticipated dayrates and utilization to measure market value.

- Renewables and Special Projects - We utilized a combination of market and cost approaches to measure fair values.

- Oceanearing Entertainment Systems and Oceanearing AGV Systems - We utilized a combination of market and cost approaches to measure fair value.

Our estimates of fair value for these asset groups determined in the first quarter of 2020 required us to use significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, including assumptions related to future performance, risk-adjusted discount rates, future commodity prices and demand for our services and estimates of expected realizable value. Our cash flow projections utilized a weighted-average cost of capital ranging from 12% to 15% and a terminal value based on the Gordon Growth Model, assuming an expected long-term growth rate of 2%.

As a result, we determined that the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values and recorded impairments as noted below. Our third quarter 2020 change in operating segments did not result in any changes in our asset groups. Our reporting units with long-lived asset impairments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, were realigned into our new reporting segments as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="5">Three Months Ended March 31, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>As originally recorded</td><td colspan="4">As recast to reflect segment changes</td></tr><tr><td>Segment/Reporting Unit</td><td>Long-lived Asset Impairments</td><td>Manufactured Products</td><td>OPG</td><td>IMDS</td><td>Total</td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Products</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Distribution Solutions U.K.</td><td>$ 6,543</td><td>$ 6,543</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 6,543</td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Distribution Solutions Brazil</td><td>9,834</td><td>9,834</td><td></td><td></td><td>9,834</td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Distribution Solutions Angola</td><td>38,482</td><td>38,482</td><td></td><td></td><td>38,482</td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Projects</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Shallow Water vessels</td><td>3,894</td><td></td><td>3,894</td><td></td><td>3,894</td></tr><tr><td>Renewables and Special Projects Group</td><td>3,628</td><td></td><td>3,628</td><td></td><td>3,628</td></tr><tr><td>Global Data Solutions</td><td>167</td><td></td><td></td><td>167</td><td>167</td></tr><tr><td>Advanced Technologies</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Oceanearing Entertainment Systems</td><td>5,065</td><td>5,065</td><td></td><td></td><td>5,065</td></tr><tr><td>Oceanearing AGV Systems</td><td>1,150</td><td>1,150</td><td></td><td></td><td>1,150</td></tr><tr><td>Total long-lived asset impairments</td><td>$ 68,763</td><td>$ 61,074</td><td>$ 7,522</td><td>$ 167</td><td>$ 68,763</td></tr></table>



In the fourth quarter of 2019, due to the protracted energy downturn and our customers' continued focus on cost discipline, we determined that impairment indicators were present within certain of our asset groups in our Subsea Projects and Asset Integrity segments. For our Subsea Projects segment, impairment indicators were present in our Deepwater and Shallow Water vessel asset groups and in our Ecosse asset group. For the Deepwater and Shallow Water vessel asset groups, we utilized the cost approach and considered historical, current and anticipated dayrates and utilization to measure market value. For our Ecosse asset group, we utilized a combination of income and market approaches, using projected discounted cash flows and the estimated expected realizable value in the market. Our Asset Integrity segment consists of one asset group. We measured the fair value of the Asset Integrity asset group by applying the income approach, using projected discounted cash flows. Our estimates of fair values for the asset groups in our Subsea Projects and Asset Integrity segments required us to use significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 fair value measurements, including assumptions related to future performance, risk-adjusted discount rates, future commodity prices and demand for our services and estimates of expected realizable value.

As a result, we determined that the carrying values exceeded the estimated fair values and recorded impairments as noted below. Our third quarter 2020 change in operating segments did not result in any changes in our asset groups. Our reporting units with long-lived asset impairments in the year ended December 31, 2019, were realigned into our new reporting segments as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="5">Year Ended December 31, 2019</td></tr><tr><td>As originally recorded</td><td colspan="4">As recast to reflect segment changes</td></tr><tr><td>Segment/Reporting Unit</td><td>Long-lived Asset Impairments</td><td>OPG</td><td>IMDS</td><td>Total</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Subsea Projects</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Deepwater and Shallow Water vessel asset groups</td><td>$ 131,894</td><td>$ 131,894</td><td></td><td>$ 131,894</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Ecosse asset group</td><td>10,721</td><td>10,721</td><td></td><td>10,721</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Asset Integrity</td><td>16,738</td><td></td><td>16,738</td><td>16,738</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Total long-lived asset impairments</td><td>$ 159,353</td><td>$ 142,615</td><td>$ 16,738</td><td>$ 159,353</td><td></td></tr></table>

In 2020, we also recorded $24 million for write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment and intangible assets associated with equipment obsolescence.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we also recorded $45 million for write-downs and write-offs of certain equipment and intangible assets, including asset write-downs relating to the retirement of 30 ROVs, and some of the IWOCS equipment in our Subsea Products segment. In 2018, we recorded the write-offs of certain equipment and intangible assets associated with exiting the land survey business and equipment obsolescence of $7.7 million. See Note 11—“Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area” for information regarding the realignment into our new reporting segments in the third quarter of 2020.

## 7. INCOME TAXES

In December 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Act, which included a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that have an impact on our income tax provision, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and the creation of a quasi-territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory transition tax on applicable previously deferred earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Act also made prospective changes beginning in 2018, including BEAT and GLITI taxes, additional limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction. We have elected to account for GLITI as a current period expense when incurred.

In 2018, based on regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and additional accounting analysis, we completed our accounting on the effect of the Tax Act and reflected the effects in our financial statements to include the tax impact of $8.8 million related to the one-time mandatory transition tax. In 2019, we identified additional available business credits, which are reflected in our 2018 income tax return as filed, thereby reducing the effects of the Tax Act in our financial statements by $8.2 million, for a total liability of $0.6 million.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law in the U.S. In accordance with the recently established rules and procedures under the CARES Act, we filed a 2014 refund claim to carry back our U.S. net operating loss generated in 2019 and amended 2012 and 2013 income tax returns impacted by the net operating loss carryback. Prior to enactment of the CARES Act, such net operating losses could only be carried forward. As a result, we expect to receive combined refunds of approximately $33 million, of which we have received $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The remaining refunds are classified as accounts receivable, net, in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. We also realized a non-cash tax benefit of $8.4 million due to the carryback provision of the CARES Act recognized as a reduction in long-term liabilities.

Our provisions (benefit) for income taxes and our cash taxes paid are as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Current:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Domestic</td><td>$ (32,743)</td><td>$ (7,571)</td><td>$ (1,564)</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign</td><td>34,755</td><td>37,462</td><td>16,146</td></tr><tr><td>Total current</td><td>2,012</td><td>29,891</td><td>14,582</td></tr><tr><td>Deferred:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Domestic</td><td>(9,192)</td><td>(10,860)</td><td>(22,905)</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign</td><td>5,034</td><td>(1,408)</td><td>34,817</td></tr><tr><td>Total deferred</td><td>(4,158)</td><td>(12,268)</td><td>11,912</td></tr><tr><td>Total provision (benefit) for income taxes</td><td>$ (2,146)</td><td>$ 17,623</td><td>$ 26,494</td></tr><tr><td>Cash taxes paid, net</td><td>$ 26,264</td><td>$ 29,806</td><td>$ 29,737</td></tr></table>

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $480 million of deferred tax assets related to net operating and other loss carryforwards that were generated in various worldwide jurisdictions. The carryforwards include $163 million that do not expire and $317 million that will expire from 2021 through 2040. We have recorded a total valuation allowance of $592 million on operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, as well as other deferred tax assets, as our management believes that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our deferred tax assets include approximately $269 million of foreign net operating losses and other deferred tax assets included on tax returns filed in 2020 that management believes will never be realized based on the nature of the loss and our current organizational structure.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of our valuation allowances:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Balance at beginning of year</td><td>$ (277,258)</td><td>$ (203,040)</td><td>$ (206,586)</td></tr><tr><td>Increase due principally to net operating losses</td><td>(300,748)</td><td>(59,596)</td><td>(38,415)</td></tr><tr><td>Increase due to foreign tax and business credit carryforwards</td><td>(14,510)</td><td>(14,622)</td><td>(14,065)</td></tr><tr><td>Reduction due to utilization of foreign tax credits generated in prior years</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>56,026</td></tr><tr><td>Balance at end of year</td><td>$ (592,516)</td><td>$ (277,258)</td><td>$ (203,040)</td></tr></table>

The 2018 utilization of the foreign tax credits generated in prior years was a result of the mandatory repatriation requirements of the Tax Act.



Following is a reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for 2020, 2019 and 2018 to income (loss) before income taxes and our reported provision (benefit) for income taxes:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Income tax provision (benefit) at the U.S. statutory rate</td><td>$ (104,769)</td><td>$ (69,472)</td><td>$ (39,025)</td></tr><tr><td>Tax Act - net mandatory repatriation tax</td><td>—</td><td>(8,220)</td><td>8,790</td></tr><tr><td>CARES Act</td><td>(4,681)</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Permanent differences for goodwill impairments</td><td>50,435</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Valuation allowances</td><td>46,650</td><td>74,553</td><td>38,415</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign tax rate differential</td><td>6,088</td><td>18,439</td><td>475</td></tr><tr><td>Stock compensation</td><td>1,032</td><td>989</td><td>2,135</td></tr><tr><td>Uncertain tax positions</td><td>(5,939)</td><td>3,046</td><td>12,644</td></tr><tr><td>Other items, net</td><td>9,038</td><td>(1,712)</td><td>3,060</td></tr><tr><td>Total provision (benefit) for income taxes</td><td>$ (2,146)</td><td>$ 17,623</td><td>$ 26,494</td></tr></table>

We recognize the expense or benefit for an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the uncertain tax position is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that we believe is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We account for any applicable interest and penalties on these positions as a component of our provision for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross uncertain tax positions, not including associated foreign tax credits and penalties and interest, is as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Balance at beginning of year</td><td>$ 16,911</td><td>$ 14,971</td><td>$ 5,339</td></tr><tr><td>Additions based on tax positions related to the current year</td><td>2,229</td><td>3,662</td><td>445</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for expiration of statutes of limitations</td><td>(628)</td><td>(2,835)</td><td>(260)</td></tr><tr><td>Additions (reductions) based on tax positions related to prior years</td><td>1,830</td><td>2,060</td><td>10,540</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years</td><td>(68)</td><td>(563)</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Settlements</td><td>(188)</td><td>(384)</td><td>(1,093)</td></tr><tr><td>Balance at end of year</td><td>$ 20,086</td><td>$ 16,911</td><td>$ 14,971</td></tr></table>

We account for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes on our financial statements. We increased/(decreased) income tax expense by 1.2 million and 1.4 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions, which brought our total liabilities for penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions to 4.5 million and 5.7 million on our balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All additions or reductions to those liabilities would affect our effective income tax rate in the periods of change.

We believe approximately $2.0 million of gross uncertain tax positions will be resolved within the next 12 months. Including associated foreign tax credits and penalties and interest, we have accrued a net total of $15 million and $21 million in other long-term liabilities on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for uncertain tax positions.

We continue to make an assertion to indefinitely reinvest the un repatriated earnings of any foreign subsidiary that would incur incremental tax consequences upon the distribution of such earnings. As of December 31, 2020, we did not provide for deferred taxes on earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. If we were to make a distribution from the unremitted earnings of these subsidiaries, we could be subject to taxes in various jurisdictions. However, it is not practical to estimate the amount of tax that could ultimately be due if such earnings



were remitted. If our expectations were to change regarding future tax consequences, we may be required to record additional deferred taxes that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities in multiple jurisdictions. These audits often take years to complete and settle. The following table lists the earliest tax years open to examination by tax authorities where we have significant operations:

<table><tr><td>Jurisdiction</td><td>Periods</td></tr><tr><td>United States</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>United Kingdom</td><td>2018</td></tr><tr><td>Norway</td><td>2015</td></tr><tr><td>Angola</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Brazil</td><td>2016</td></tr><tr><td>Australia</td><td>2015</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td rowspan="2">(in thousands)</td><td colspan="2">December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2020</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>4.650% Senior Notes due 2024</td><td>$ 500,000</td><td>$ 500,000</td></tr><tr><td>6.000% Senior Notes due 2028</td><td>300,000</td><td>300,000</td></tr><tr><td>Fair value of interest rate swaps on $200 million of principal</td><td>—</td><td>3,235</td></tr><tr><td>Interest rate swap settlements</td><td>10,870</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Unamortized debt issuance costs</td><td>(5,619)</td><td>(6,719)</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term Debt</td><td>$ 805,251</td><td>$ 796,516</td></tr></table>

In November 2014, we completed the public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.650% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Senior Notes"). We pay interest on the 2024 Senior Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2024 Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on November 15, 2024.

In February 2018, we completed the public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes"). We pay interest on the 2028 Senior Notes on February 1 and August 1



of each year. The 2028 Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2028. We used the net proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes to repay our term loan indebtedness described further below.

We may redeem some or all of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") at specified redemption prices.

In October 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a group of banks. The Credit Agreement initially provided for a $500 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Subject to certain conditions, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to $300 million at any time upon agreement between us and existing or additional lenders. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement also provided for a $300 million term loan, which we repaid in full in February 2018, using net proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Senior Notes referred to above, and cash on hand.

In February 2018, we entered into Agreement and Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”). Amendment No. 4 amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to January 25, 2023 with the extending lenders, which represent 90% of the existing commitments of the lenders, such that the total commitments for the Revolving Credit Facility will be $500 million until October 25, 2021, and thereafter $450 million until January 25, 2023. As of December 31, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an Adjusted Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (both as defined in the Credit Agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin based on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and, at our election, based on the ratings of our senior unsecured debt by designated ratings services, thereafter to be based on such debt ratings. The applicable margin varies: (1) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, from 0.125% to 0.750% and (2) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, from 1.125% to 1.750%. The Adjusted Base Rate is the highest of (1) the per annum rate established by the administrative agent as its prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the daily one-month LIBOR plus 1%. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.300% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on our Leverage Ratio. The commitment fees are included as interest expense in our consolidated financial statements.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our subsidiaries to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets and enter into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to a maximum adjusted total Capitalization Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 55%. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and associated remedies. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

We had two interest rate swaps in place relating to a total of $200 million of the 2024 Senior Notes for the period to November 2024. The agreements swapped the fixed interest rate of 4.65% on $100 million of the 2024 Senior Notes to the floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.426% and on another $100 million to one-month LIBOR plus 2.823%. In March 2020, we settled both interest rate swaps with the counterparty for cash proceeds of $13 million. The settlement resulted in a $13 million adjustment to increase our long-term debt balance that will be amortized to interest expense prospectively through the maturity date for the 2024 Senior Notes using the effective interest method. As a result, we amortized $2.0 million to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

We incurred $6.9 million and $4.2 million of issuance costs related to the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, respectively, and $3.0 million of new loan costs, including costs of the amendments prior to Amendment No. 4, related to the Credit Agreement. These costs, net of accumulated amortization, are included as a reduction of long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as they pertain to the Senior Notes, and in other noncurrent assets, as they pertain to the Credit Agreement. We are amortizing these costs to interest expense through the respective maturity dates for the Senior Notes and to January 2023 for the Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

We made cash interest payments of $44 million, $46 million and $37 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.



## 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

## Lease Commitments

As of December 31, 2020, we occupied several facilities under noncancellable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2035. See Note 4—“Leases” for more information on our operating leases.

## Insurance

The workers' compensation, maritime employer's liability and comprehensive general liability insurance policies that we purchase each include a deductible layer, for which we would be responsible, that we consider financially prudent. Insurance above the deductible layers can be by occurrence or in the aggregate. We determine the level of accruals for claims exposure by reviewing our historical experience and current year claim activity. We do not record accruals on a present-value basis. We review larger claims with insurance adjusters and establish specific reserves for known liabilities. We establish an additional reserve for incidents incurred but not reported to us for each year using our estimates and based on prior experience. We believe we have established adequate accruals for expected liabilities arising from those obligations. However, it is possible that future earnings could be affected by changes in our estimates relating to these matters.

## Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we are, from time to time, involved in litigation or subject to disputes, governmental investigations or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things:

• performance- or warranty-related matters under our customer and supplier contracts and other business arrangements; and

• workers’ compensation claims, Jones Act claims, occupational hazard claims, premises liability claims and other claims.

Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe that our ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these other actions and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings and, in some cases, the availability and amount of potentially available insurance, we can provide no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the fiscal period in which that resolution occurs.

## Letters of Credit

We had $51 million and $49 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which related to self-insurance requirements and various bid and performance bonds, which are usually for the duration of the applicable contract.

## Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration

In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a variety of strategies, including the use of hedging transactions. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivative instruments unless we have an underlying exposure. Other financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the underlying instruments. Accounts receivable are generated from a broad group of customers, primarily from within the energy industry, which is our major source of revenue. Due to their short-term nature, carrying values of our accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair market values.

We estimated the aggregate fair market value of the Senior Notes to be $723 million as of December 31, 2020 based on quoted prices. Since the market for the Senior Notes is not an active market, the fair value of the Senior Notes is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full terms for the assets or liabilities).

Foreign currency gains (losses) related to the Angolan kwanza of $(2.8) million, $(4.8) million and $(19) million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, were primarily due to the remeasurement of our Angolan



kwanza cash balances to U.S. dollars. Foreign currency gains (losses) related to the Brazilian real of $(7.3) million, $(0.7) million and $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, were primarily due to the remeasurement of our U.S. dollar denominated liability balances to the Brazilian real. We recorded foreign currency transaction losses related to the Angolan kwanza and Brazilian real as a component of other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Any conversion of cash balances from kwanza to U.S. dollars is controlled by the central bank in Angola. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had the equivalent of approximately $4.7 million and $6.2 million of kwanza cash balances, respectively, in Angola reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

To mitigate our currency exposure risk in Angola, we have used kwanza to purchase equivalent Angolan central bank (Banco Nacional de Angola) bonds. The bonds are denominated as U.S. dollar equivalents, so that, upon payment of semi-annual interest and principal upon maturity, payment is made in kwanza, equivalent to the respective U.S. dollars at the then-current exchange rate. During 2018, we received a total of $70 million in proceeds from maturities and redemptions of Angolan bonds and reinvested $10 million of the proceeds in similar assets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $10 million of Angolan bonds on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because we intend to sell the bonds if we are able to repatriate the proceeds, we have classified these bonds as available-for-sale securities, and they are recorded in other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We estimated the fair market value of the Angolan bonds to be $10 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 using quoted market prices. Since the market for the Angolan bonds is not an active market, the fair value of the Angolan bonds is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP.

Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, certain projects that were in process have been delayed in our Manufacturing Products segment. As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding accounts receivable and contracts assets of approximately $51 million for these projects. We continue to believe these accounts receivable and contract assets are realizable and the projects will resume.

## 11. OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA

## Business Segment Information

We are a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. Through the use of our applied technology expertise, we also serve the defense, aerospace and commercial theme park industries.

* Recast to reflect segment changes.

We determine income from operations for each business segment before interest income or expense, other income (expense) and provision for income taxes. We do not consider an allocation of these items to be practical.

## Revenue

No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue during 2020. During 2019, revenue from one customer, BP plc and subsidiaries, accounted for 10% of our total consolidated annual revenue. During 2018, revenue from Royal Dutch Shell and subsidiaries, accounted for 10% of our total consolidated annual revenue.

## 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

## Retirement Investment Plans

We have several employee retirement investment plans that, taken together, cover most of our full-time employees. The Oceaneering Retirement Investment Plan is a 401(k) plan in which U.S. employees may participate by deferring a portion of their gross monthly salary and directing us to contribute the deferred amount to the plan. We match a portion of the employees' deferred compensation. Our contributions to the 401(k) plan were $14 million, $19 million and $18 million for the plan years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We also make matching contributions to foreign employee savings plans similar in nature to a 401(k) plan. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, these contributions, principally related to plans associated with U.K. and Norwegian subsidiaries, were $11 million, $12 million and $11 million, respectively.

The Oceaneering International, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan covers selected key management employees and executives, as approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). Under this plan, we accrue an amount determined as a percentage of the participant's gross monthly salary and the amounts accrued are treated as if they are invested in one or more investment vehicles pursuant to this plan. Expenses related to this plan during 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $1.9 million, $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

## Incentive Plan

Under our Second Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan and our 2020 Incentive Plan (together the “Incentive Plans”), shares of our common stock are made available for awards to employees and nonemployee members of our Board of Directors.

The Incentive Plans are administered primarily by the Compensation Committee; however, the full Board of Directors makes determinations regarding awards to nonemployee directors under the Incentive Plans. The Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors, as applicable, determines the type(s) of award(s) to be made to each participant and sets forth in the related award agreement the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each award. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock and cash awards may be made under the Incentive Plans. There are no options outstanding under either Incentive Plan. We have not granted any stock options since 2005 and the Compensation Committee has expressed its intention to refrain from using stock options as a component of employee compensation for our executive officers and other employees for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Board of Directors has expressed its intention to refrain from using stock options as a component of nonemployee director compensation for the foreseeable future.



In 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Compensation Committee granted awards of performance units to certain of our key executives and employees. The performance units awarded are scheduled to vest in full on the third anniversary of the applicable award dates, or pro rata over three years if the participant meets certain age and years of service requirements. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved specific financial goals and measures (as defined), for each of the three-year periods ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 to be used as the basis for the final value of the performance units. The final value of the performance unit granted may range from $0 to $200 in each of 2020, 2019 and 2018. Upon vesting and determination of value, the value of the performance units will be payable in cash. Compensation expense related to the performance units was $7.6 million, $9.7 million and $3.9 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there were 280,978 performance units outstanding.

During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Compensation Committee granted restricted units of our common stock to certain of our key executives and employees. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, our Board of Directors granted restricted common stock to our nonemployee directors. Over 80%, 80% and 85% of the grants made to our employees in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, conditional upon continued employment. The remainder of the grants made to employees vest pro rata over three years, as these participants meet certain age and years-of-service requirements. For the grants of restricted stock units to each of the participant employees, the participant will be issued one share of our common stock for each of the participant's vested restricted stock units at the earlier of three years or, if the participant vested earlier after meeting the age and service requirements, following termination of employment or service. The grants of restricted stock to our nonemployee directors vest in full on the first anniversary of the applicable award dates, conditional upon continued service as a director.

The Compensation Committee has a policy that Oceanearing will not provide U.S. federal income tax gross-up payments to any of its directors or executive officers in connection with future awards of restricted stock or stock units.

The additional tax charge realized from tax deductions less than the financial statement expense of our restricted stock grants was $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $2.1 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2020, 2019 and 2018 charges were recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following is a summary of our restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity for 2020, 2019 and 2018:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Number</td><td>Weighted Average Fair Value</td><td>Aggregate Intrinsic Value</td></tr><tr><td>Balance as of December 31, 2017</td><td>1,181,805</td><td>32.84</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>653,286</td><td>18.05</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Issued</td><td>(320,147)</td><td>47.62</td><td>$ 5,993,000</td></tr><tr><td>Forfeited</td><td>(71,047)</td><td>24.87</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Balance as of December 31, 2018</td><td>1,443,897</td><td>23.27</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>957,734</td><td>18.12</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Issued</td><td>(495,527)</td><td>48.65</td><td>$ 8,154,000</td></tr><tr><td>Forfeited</td><td>(164,769)</td><td>22.86</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Balance as of December 31, 2019</td><td>1,741,335</td><td>22.62</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>1,007,383</td><td>10.23</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Issued</td><td>(489,035)</td><td>25.55</td><td>$ 5,821,000</td></tr><tr><td>Forfeited</td><td>(304,337)</td><td>18.13</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Balance as of December 31, 2020</td><td>1,955,346</td><td>16.20</td><td></td></tr></table>

The restricted stock units granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 carry no voting rights and no dividend rights. Each grantee of shares of restricted common stock is deemed to be the record owner of those shares during the restriction period, with the right to vote and receive any dividends on those shares.

Grants of restricted stock units are valued at their estimated fair values as of their respective grant dates. The grants in 2020, 2019 and 2018 were subject only to vesting conditioned on continued employment or service as a nonemployee director; therefore, these grants were valued at the grant date fair market value using the closing price of our stock on the New York Stock Exchange.



Compensation expense under the restricted stock plans was $7.5 million, $10 million and $10 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had $8.6 million of future expense to be recognized related to our restricted stock unit plans over a weighted average remaining life of 1.6 years.

## Post-Employment Benefit

Pursuant to a service agreement we entered into with our Chairman of the Board of Directors, we are obligated to provide for medical coverage on an after-tax basis to him, his spouse and two adult children for their lives. Our total accrued liabilities, current and long-term, under this post-employment benefit were $1.8 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
