FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - July 26, 2007) - SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CKH) announced net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $65.3 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $325.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net income was $103.4 million, or $3.80 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $636.2 million.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, net income was $62.8 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $331.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net income was $112.9 million, or $4.04 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $636.9 million.

For the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2007, net income was $38.2 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $310.8 million.

Highlights for the Quarter

Offshore Marine Services -- Operating income in the second quarter was $95.0 million on operating revenues of $171.4 million compared to operating income of $56.7 million on operating revenues of $170.9 million in the preceding quarter. Second quarter results included $38.5 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $8.3 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The number of days available for charter in the second quarter decreased 752, or 4.0%, primarily as a result of a net decrease in fleet count. Overall average day rates decreased from $11,209 to $10,948 per day. Overall utilization increased from 79.2% to 84.0%.

Operating expenses were lower primarily as a result of fewer dockings in the second quarter, lower expenditures for vessel mobilizations and lower depreciation expense reflecting the impact of vessel sales and certain Seabulk vessels having been fully depreciated.

Marine Transportation Services -- Marine Transportation Services reported an operating loss in the second quarter of $8.0 million on operating revenues of $25.9 million compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million on operating revenues of $30.6 million in the preceding quarter.

Operating results in the second quarter were significantly impacted by three vessels being off-hire for various periods. Two vessels were undergoing a retrofit to a double-hull configuration, one of which was off-hire for the entire preceding quarter and a portion of the second quarter prior to returning to service in early June. The other was off-hire beginning in early March and is expected to return to service in the fourth quarter. Additionally, one vessel reached its OPA 90 mandated retirement date at the end of the preceding quarter.

Inland River Services -- Operating income in the second quarter was $11.2 million on operating revenues of $28.0 million compared to operating income of $13.7 million on operating revenues of $26.7 million in the preceding quarter. Second quarter results included $2.6 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $3.6 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The decline in operating income before gains on asset dispositions was primarily due to reduced activity on the river, manifested in lower rates for shipping grain and reduced demurrage revenues. In addition, fewer covered hopper barges were in service during the period following their sale or contribution to joint ventures. These declines were partially offset by higher revenues attained on equipment leased to third parties.

Aviation Services -- Operating income in the second quarter was $5.1 million on operating revenues of $55.9 million compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million on operating revenues of $45.4 million in the preceding quarter. Second quarter results included $1.5 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to $0.2 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

The improvement in operating results was primarily due to increased flight hours in support of increased oil and gas activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Alaska and the resumption of flightseeing activity in Alaska.

Environmental Services -- Operating income in the second quarter was $3.0 million on operating revenues of $32.2 million compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million on operating revenues of $26.5 million in the preceding quarter.

The improvement in operating results was primarily due to increased retainer service contracts, project management services, consulting activity and equipment sales.

Marketable Security Transactions -- Marketable security transactions resulted in losses of $9.4 million in the second quarter compared to losses of $4.7 million in the preceding quarter.

Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies -- Equity earnings from joint ventures were $7.8 million in the second quarter compared to earnings of $2.4 million in the preceding quarter. The increase is primarily due to the Company's gain of $4.1 million, net of tax, relating to the sale of its Offshore Marine Services' joint venture in Egypt and improved earnings in an Inland River Services' joint venture.

Capital Commitments -- The Company's unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2007 consisted primarily of marine service vessels, harbor tugs, helicopters, barges and capital improvements to certain of its existing marine transportation fleet and totaled $516.4 million, of which $178.8 million is payable during the remainder of 2007 and the balance payable through 2010. Of these commitments, approximately $152.4 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $2.5 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company committed to purchase additional property and equipment for $102.5 million and sold certain purchase contracts reducing its unfunded capital commitments by $12.3 million. As of June 30, 2007, the Company held balances of Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Securities, Construction Reserve Funds and Title XI Reserve Funds totaling $921.6 million.

Other -- As described in our press release dated June 28, 2007 SEACOR Holdings Inc. and Nabors Industries Ltd. signed a letter of intent to form a new company to own and operate a fleet of 20 offshore support vessels currently owned by a Nabors affiliate. The letter of intent is no longer in effect as the parties were unable to agree on the terms of a material definitive agreement for the new company.
