SEACOR Holdings Announces First Quarter Results

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 26, 2007 -- SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CKH) announced net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $38.2 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $310.8 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, net income was $50.1 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $305.9 million.

For the preceding quarter ended December 31, 2006, net income was $58.4 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $337.2 million.

Highlights for the Quarter

Offshore Marine Services - Operating income in the first quarter was $56.7 million on operating revenues of $170.9 million compared to operating income of $75.2 million on operating revenues of $174.8 million in the preceding quarter. First quarter results included $8.3 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $13.8 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The number of days available for charter in the first quarter decreased by 860 or 4.4% as a result of a net decrease in fleet count and a shorter quarter. Overall utilization fell from 82.3% to 79.2% primarily due to a higher level of downtime for repairs and dockings than in the preceding quarter, predominantly in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The resulting decline in operating revenues was partially offset by an improvement in overall average day rates from $10,447 to $11,209 per day.

Operating income was also adversely affected by higher repair and maintenance costs, mainly in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, increased mobilization costs and higher insurance costs.

Marine Transportation Services - Marine Transportation Services reported an operating loss in the first quarter of $1.6 million on operating revenues of $30.6 million compared to operating income of $2.2 million on operating revenues of $34.4 million in the preceding quarter.

Operating results in the first quarter were significantly affected by three vessels being off-hire for various periods. Two vessels were undergoing conversion to a double-hull configuration, one of which was off-hire for the entire quarter while the other was off-hire beginning in early March. These vessels are expected to return to service in April and September, respectively. The remaining vessel was off-hire while undergoing survey and repairs prior to commencing a multi-year bareboat charter in March.

Inland River Services - Operating income in the first quarter was $13.7 million on operating revenues of $26.7 million compared to operating income of $16.1 million on operating revenues of $37.8 million in the preceding quarter. First quarter results included $3.6 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $0.1 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The decrease in operating income was due to lower spot rates for grain and non-grain cargoes and fewer barges in service following the disposition of equipment. In addition, extremely cold conditions resulted in ice delays and closures on the upper river systems for much of February resulting in fewer tons loaded.

Aviation Services - Aviation Services reported an operating loss in the first quarter of $1.2 million on operating revenues of $45.4 million compared to operating income of $3.4 million on operating revenues of $38.9 million in the preceding quarter. First quarter results included $0.2 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $7.1 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The increase in operating revenues was primarily due to the addition of a medical flight services business which contributed $7.6 million. Operating revenues from the support of oil and gas activities decreased due to fewer flight hours as a consequence of adverse weather conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Excluding gains on asset dispositions in the current and preceding quarters, operating results improved primarily due to lower repair and maintenance costs.

Environmental Services - Environmental Services reported an operating loss in the first quarter of $0.5 million on operating revenues of $26.5 million compared to operating income of $4.6 million on operating revenues of $40.8 million in the preceding quarter.

The decrease in operating results was primarily due to a reduction in project management and spill response activity. In addition, operating results were impacted by lower revenues from retainer service contracts, consulting activity and equipment sales.

Derivative Transactions - Derivative transactions, primarily consisting of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts, resulted in gains of $0.1 million in the first quarter compared to gains of $3.3 million in the preceding quarter.

Marketable Security Transactions - Marketable security transactions resulted in losses of $4.7 million in the first quarter compared to losses of $6.6 million in the preceding quarter.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of 50% or Less Owned Companies - Equity earnings from joint ventures were $2.4 million in the first quarter compared to losses of $0.2 million in the preceding quarter.

Capital Commitments - The Company's unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2007, consisted primarily of marine service vessels, harbor tugs, helicopters, barges and capital improvements to certain of the existing marine transportation fleet and totaled $560.1 million, of which $290.0 million is payable during the remainder of 2007 and the balance payable through 2009. Of these commitments, approximately $159.3 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company committed to purchase additional property and equipment for $26.5 million. As of March 31, 2007, the Company held balances of Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Securities, Construction Reserve Funds and Title XI Reserve Funds totaling $815.9 million.
