SEACOR Holdings Announces Second Quarter Results
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2005--SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CKH) announced net earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $25.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $177.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net earnings were $43.7 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $343.0 million.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2004, net earnings were $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $97.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net losses were $2.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $193.4 million.
For the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company reported net earnings of $18.6 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, on operating revenues of $165.2 million.
Financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2005 were impacted by a variety of factors highlighted below.
-- Increased operating revenues. Operating revenues for the quarter were $177.8 million, an increase of $12.6 million from the previous quarter. Results improved due primarily to increased flight hours in Helicopter Services that included seasonal flight-seeing activities in Alaska, higher rates per day worked and utilization for vessels in Offshore Marine Services and fleet growth in Inland River Services. Operating revenues earned by Environmental Services remained constant between quarters.
-- Decreased operating income. Operating income for the quarter was $24.6 million, a decrease of $1.7 million from the previous quarter. This decline was largely due to $11.7 million less in gain on asset sales, primarily related to the disposition of offshore support vessels.
In the second quarter, improved results from helicopter and vessel operations, excluding the effect of asset sales, were partly offset by reduced earnings in environmental and inland river transportation activities. Results of Helicopter Services improved due to increased flight activities and decreased maintenance expenses. Cost and expenses of Offshore Marine Services remained steady against rising revenues. Spill response profit margins declined in Environmental Services. Margins for Inland River Services declined from the prior quarter in keeping with typical seasonal patterns. Revenues did increase due to the addition of small numbers of barges, but rates did not compensate for increased expenses.
-- Decreased derivative losses, net. Derivative transactions, primarily consisting of foreign currency contracts, resulted in losses for the current quarter of $0.2 million as compared to losses for the prior quarter of $1.6 million.
-- Increased foreign currency transaction gains, net. Foreign currency transaction gains for the current quarter were $4.4 million as compared to losses of $0.5 million in the previous quarter. Gains and losses resulted from the effect of currency exchange rate changes with respect to loans between SEACOR and certain of its foreign subsidiaries and other transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of various subsidiaries.
-- Increased marketable securities sale gains, net. Marketable securities sale transactions resulted in net gains of $8.5 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the previous quarter.
As previously announced, on July 1, 2005, the Company acquired Seabulk International, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 16, 2005, among the Company, SBLK Acquisition Corp., CORBULK LLC, and Seabulk International, Inc.

The Company also sold its "fixed wing" operations which were previously held for sale through the sale of all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Era Aviation, Inc. to Era Aviation Investment Group LLC for $15 million in cash.
During the quarter, the Company purchased additional dry cargo covered hopper barges, chemical tank barges and offshore support vessels for aggregate consideration of $107.3 million. At June 30, 2005, capital commitments for helicopters, dry cargo covered hopper barges, offshore support vessels and other equipment aggregated $342.7 million. In addition, the Company placed revocable orders for additional helicopters.
At June 30, 2005, the Company's cash, marketable securities and construction reserve funds totaled $533.4 million, a decrease of $82.0 million from the prior quarter, and long-term debt totaled $597.5 million. The Company has remaining authority of $37.7 million available for future purchases of the Company's common stock and its 5.875% and 7.2% notes.
