NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) announced today a third quarter net loss for the period ended December 31, 2014, of $160.7 million, or $3.31 per common share, on revenues of $387.6 million. Included in the current fiscal quarter's net loss is a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $283.7 million ($214.9 million after tax, or $4.43 per share) resulting from the Company's annual goodwill impairment assessment. This period's goodwill impairment assessment took into account the significant recent reductions in oil and natural gas prices, the expected impact that a continuation of these lower oil and natural gas prices will have on levels of exploration and production spending by our customers globally, and the resulting expected negative impact that lower customer spending levels will have on future average day rates and utilization of the company's vessels.
For the same quarter last year, net earnings were $12.6 million, or $0.25 per common share, on revenues of $365.2 million. Included in the prior fiscal year's net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $56.3 million ($43.4 million after tax, or $0.87 per share) resulting from the Company's annual goodwill assessment performed during that quarter. As a result of the general reduction in the level of business in the Company's Asia/Pacific region last year, the entire amount of goodwill previously allocated to the Asia/Pacific region was impaired during the December 2013 quarter. The immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2014, had net earnings of $60.9 million, or $1.22 per common share, on revenues of $397.5 million.
As previously announced, Tidewater will hold a conference call to discuss December quarterly earnings on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. Central time. Investors and interested parties may listen to the teleconference via telephone by calling 1-888-771-4371 if calling from the U.S. or Canada (1-847-585-4405 if calling from outside the U.S.) and ask for the "Tidewater" call just prior to the scheduled start. A replay of the conference call will be available beginning at 12:00 p.m. Central time on February 10, 2015, and will continue until 11:59 p.m. Central time on February 12, 2015. To hear the replay, call 1-888-843-7419 (1-630-652-3042 if calling from outside the U.S.). The conference call ID number is 38860031.
A simultaneous webcast of the conference call will be available online at the Tidewater Inc. website, (http://www.tdw.com). The online replay will be available until March 10, 2015.
The conference call will contain forward-looking statements in addition to statements of historical fact. The actual achievement of any forecasted results or the unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way anticipated or projected by the Company involve numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual performance to be materially different from that stated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks associated with the general nature of the oilfield service industry and other factors discussed within the "Risk Factors" section of Tidewater's recent Forms 10-Q and 10-K.
Tidewater is the leading provider of Offshore Service Vessels (OSVs) to the global energy industry.
Note: all per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.
