Comparison of results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 with the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2009 is included in the discussion below.

Highlights for the Quarter

Offshore Marine Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $30.0 million on operating revenues of $129.8 million compared with operating income of $40.5 million on operating revenues of $146.5 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results included $3.9 million in gains on asset dispositions compared with $0.4 million in gains in the preceding quarter. Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions, operating income was $14.0 million lower in the third quarter.

Overall operating revenues were $16.6 million lower in the third quarter reflecting continuing soft market conditions, particularly in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico where the Company had 26 vessels cold-stacked as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, $12.6 million of vessel charter hire billed to three customers has been deferred due to uncertainty of collection. The Company's policy is to recognize the deferred amounts as operating revenues if and when collection is reasonably assured. Overall operating expenses were $4.6 million lower in the third quarter primarily due to decreased repair and maintenance costs and reductions in operating expenses due to the effect of cold-stacking vessels, partially offset by higher mobilization costs. Administrative and general expenses increased primarily due to higher legal, audit and professional fees.

The number of days available for charter in the third quarter decreased by 311, or 2.2%. Overall utilization decreased from 75.0% to 67.4% and overall average day rates, based on time charter revenues recognized, decreased by 1.3% from $12,030 per day to $11,880 per day.

Marine Transportation Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $1.4 million on operating revenues of $21.7 million compared with operating income of $3.4 million on operating revenues of $24.1 million in the preceding quarter.

The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the temporary lay-up of the Seabulk Trader for 53 days during the third quarter and lower utilization and higher repair and maintenance costs for the Seabulk America, which operated in the spot market. Operating income was higher for the Seabulk Challenge, due to higher utilization and lower drydocking costs.

Inland River Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $7.8 million on operating revenues of $34.3 million compared with operating income of $5.7 million on operating revenues of $30.2 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results included $0.8 million in gains on asset dispositions compared with $0.4 million in gains in the preceding quarter.

Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions, operating income was $1.6 million higher in the third quarter primarily due to higher freight rates and increased activity on the lower Mississippi River in support of the beginning of the harvest season.

Aviation Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $10.3 million on operating revenues of $64.3 million compared with operating income of $4.6 million on operating revenues of $57.7 million in the preceding quarter. Third quarter results include $1.1 million in net gains on asset dispositions and impairments compared with net losses on asset dispositions and impairments of $1.1 million in the preceding quarter.

Excluding the impact of asset dispositions and impairments, operating income was $3.6 million higher in the third quarter. The improvement was primarily due to newly delivered aircraft placed on international leases, additional contracts in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Alaska as well as seasonal flightseeing and firefighting activity. Depreciation expense increased as new assets were placed in service.

Environmental Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $2.7 million on operating revenues of $33.8 million compared with operating income of $1.8 million on operating revenues of $33.2 million in the preceding quarter. The improvement in operating income was primarily due to an increase in retainer and standby services and higher margins on project activities.

Commodity Trading -- Commodity Trading reported an operating loss in the third quarter of $3.8 million on operating revenues of $150.9 million compared with operating income of $3.2 million on operating revenues of $85.9 million in the preceding quarter. Derivative gains were $1.7 million in the third quarter compared with gains of $0.6 million in the preceding quarter. Overall losses in the third quarter, including the impact of derivative transactions, were primarily attributable to provisions for doubtful accounts.

Harbor and Offshore Towing Services -- Operating income in the third quarter was $2.0 million on operating revenues of $15.6 million compared with operating income of $3.2 million on operating revenues of $16.2 million in the preceding quarter. The reduction in operating income was primarily due to fewer harbor jobs and higher drydocking and mobilization expenditures.

Debt Extinguishment -- During the third quarter, the Company recorded gains of $2.8 million on the purchase of $17.4 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes and the call of $81.7 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes. The gains in the third quarter were primarily the result of calling the Company's 9.5% Senior Notes.

Marketable Securities -- Marketable security gains were $6.9 million in the third quarter compared with gains of $11.8 million in the preceding quarter.

Derivatives -- Derivative gains were $2.3 million in the third quarter compared with gains of $3.8 million in the preceding quarter.

Foreign Currencies -- Foreign currency losses were $0.9 million in the third quarter compared with gains of $6.8 million in the preceding quarter. The gains in the preceding quarter were primarily due to a weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies underlying certain of the Company's cash positions and intercompany notes receivable.

Debt Issuance -- During the third quarter, the Company issued $250.0 million of 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019 and drew $33.5 million on its revolving credit facility. On October 2, 2009, the Company repaid $33.5 million on its revolving credit facility.

Capital Commitments -- The Company's unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of offshore marine vessels, helicopters, inland river dry cargo barges and an inland river towboat and totaled $123.1 million, of which $53.1 million is payable during 2009 and the balance payable through 2011. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $20.7 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2009, the Company held balances of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, construction reserve funds and title XI reserve funds totaling $993.2 million.

ASC 470-20 -- Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which includes the rules formerly referred to as Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, Accounting Principles Board 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). ASC 470-20 requires issuers of convertible debt to account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the issuers' non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. Upon adopting ASC 470-20, the Company recorded the impact on a retrospective basis for all relevant periods and adjusted previously reported equity as of December 31, 2008 by increasing additional paid-in capital $33.9 million and reducing retained earnings $18.9 million. Previously reported diluted earnings per common share remained unchanged.
