Highlights for the Quarter

Offshore Marine Services - Operating income was $21.2 million on operating revenues of $134.3 million compared with operating income of $0.8 million on operating revenues of $123.3 million in the preceding quarter. 

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, operating income was $13.3 million higher in the third quarter, of which $9.1 million was due to an increased contribution from the Company's liftboat fleet and $4.6 million was due to gains on asset dispositions, of which $4.1 million had been deferred in prior periods. The liftboat fleet contributed an additional $6.8 million of time charter revenues primarily due to reduced drydocking activity and the positive impact of seasonal market conditions. Time charter revenues for the other vessel classes declined by $0.8 million in total during the current quarter. In overall terms including liftboats, fleet utilization was 77.3% compared with 71.1% in the preceding quarter and average day rates increased from $12,610 per day to $13,394 per day. During the quarter, the Company cold-stacked three anchor handling towing supply vessels. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no vessels in cold-stack. Operating expenses were $3.0 million lower primarily due to reduced drydocking activity.

In international regions, operating income was $7.1 million higher in the third quarter, including higher gains on asset dispositions of $1.4 million. Time charter revenues were $5.0 million higher primarily due to a seasonal time charter in Asia and reduced drydocking activity during the third quarter. Excluding the Company's fleet of wind farm utility vessels, utilization was 86.3% compared with 83.3% in the preceding quarter and average day rates increased from $11,631 per day to $12,162 per day. Operating expenses were $2.2 million lower primarily due to decreased drydocking activity and the cost of vessel mobilizations between geographic regions during the preceding quarter.

In the third quarter, the total number of days available for charter for the Company's fleet, excluding the wind farm utility vessels, decreased by 197 days, or 2% primarily due to net fleet dispositions. Overall utilization increased from 77.4% to 82.0% and overall average day rates increased by 5% from $12,068 per day to $12,718 per day. Time charter operating data by vessel class is presented in the table included herein. During the third quarter, drydocking costs were $4.3 million compared with $10.8 million in the preceding quarter.

Administrative and general expenses were $1.6 million higher in the third quarter primarily due to increased management bonus accruals and higher legal expenses, and an allowance for doubtful accounts provided in connection with a customer bankruptcy.

Aviation Services - Operating income was $11.1 million on operating revenues of $78.0 million compared with operating income of $7.4 million on operating revenues of $63.0 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results included $0.6 million in gains on asset dispositions compared with $1.1 million in gains in the preceding quarter. 

Operating revenues were $15.0 million higher primarily due to the recognition of $6.2 million of previously deferred revenues, additional charter flights in response to hurricane activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, additional helicopters placed on contract and seasonal activity in Alaska. 

Operating expenses were $7.2 million higher in the third quarter primarily due to the recognition of $4.9 million in power-by-hour credits in the preceding quarter and higher fuel, insurance and other operating costs in line with increased activity levels.

Administrative and general expenses were $3.1 million higher in the third quarter primarily due to an allowance for doubtful accounts provided in connection with a customer bankruptcy. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $10.9 million in the third quarter, an increase of $0.4 million primarily due to net fleet additions.

Inland River Services - Operating income was $7.7 million on operating revenues of $53.3 million compared with operating income of $5.7 million on operating revenues of $53.3 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results included $3.5 million in gains on asset dispositions compared with $0.9 million in gains in the preceding quarter. Operating conditions for the pooled hopper barge fleet continued to be difficult in the third quarter primarily due to poor river conditions and continuing weak demand for barge freight primarily for grain exports. During the third quarter, Inland River Services recognized $2.2 million of equity in losses of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, primarily from its Argentinian joint venture as a result of difficult operating conditions and provisions for uncertain insurance recoveries related to facility damage sustained in 2011.

Marine Transportation Services - Operating income was $2.0 million on operating revenues of $27.4 million compared with operating income of $0.5 million on operating revenues of $25.8 million in the preceding quarter. Operating results for Marine Transportation Services' U.S.-flag product tanker fleet were $2.3 million higher in the third quarter primarily due to less out-of-service time and lower repair and maintenance expenses. Operating results for its foreign flag Roll-on/Roll-off vessels were $0.8 million lower primarily due to the settlement of a legal dispute.

Emergency and Crisis Services - As noted above, the Company sold part of its Environmental Services business segment in March 2012. The remaining business within the segment, renamed Emergency and Crisis Services, reported an operating loss of $1.3 million on operating revenues of $9.3 million compared with an operating loss of $2.1 million on operating revenues of $8.4 million in the preceding quarter. The improvement in operating results was primarily due to higher exercise and training activities.

Commodity Trading and Logistics - Segment profit was $0.1 million on operating revenues of $145.7 million compared with segment profit of $3.0 million on operating revenues of $206.7 million in the preceding quarter. Segment profit decreased in the third quarter primarily due to lower results from merchandising and trading activities.

Other - Other reported a segment profit of $6.6 million on operating revenues of $18.0 million compared with segment profit of $2.6 million on operating revenues of $17.6 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results included a termination payment of $7.0 million received from one of Harbor and Offshore Towing Services customers following the cancellation of a long-term charter, partially offset by a $1.2 million impairment charge for an aircraft included in the Company's lending and leasing activities.

Corporate and Eliminations - Administrative and general expenses were $8.4 million compared with $7.5 million in the preceding quarter. The increase was primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the Company's recently announced intention to spinoff of its Aviation Services business segment.

Stock Repurchases - During the third quarter, the Company purchased 130,368 shares of its common stock at an average price of $86.61 per share. As of September 30, 2012, 20,850,751 shares of SEACOR's common stock remained outstanding.

5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 - On September 28, 2012, the Company made an irrevocable deposit of $171.0 million to its trustee for the extinguishment of the Company's 5.875% Senior Notes at their scheduled maturity on October 1, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the irrevocable deposit held by the trustee was included in restricted cash.

Equipment Acquisitions - During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, capital expenditures were $257.0 million. Equipment deliveries during that period included two offshore support vessel, one wind farm utility vessel, three inland river dry cargo barges, four liquid tank barges, two inland river towboats and seventeen helicopters.

Capital Commitments - The Company's unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2012 were $365.0 million and consisted of: twelve offshore support vessels for $131.4 million; an interest in a jack-up drilling rig for $30.3 million; twelve helicopters for $138.3 million; seven inland river tank barges for $15.1 million; three inland river towboats for $9.4 million; four harbor tugs for $23.0 million; and other equipment and improvements for $14.9 million. In addition, the Company notified the lessee of its intent to purchase two harbor tugs currently operating under capital leases for $2.6 million. Of these commitments, $58.6 million is payable during 2012 with the balance payable through 2016 and $125.0 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.3 million. As of September 30, 2012, the Company held balances of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash (excluding an irrevocable deposit held by the Company's trustee of $171.0 million), marketable securities, construction reserve funds and Title XI reserve funds totaling $430.4 million.
