The company had a revenue backlog of $232.4 million and a labor backlog of approximately 1.9 million hours at December 31, 2015, including commitments received through February 19, 2016, compared to a revenue backlog of $135.1 million and a labor backlog of 1.3 million hours reported as of September 30, 2015.

  • Included in the net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were the following:

- $10.3 million ($6.7 million after-tax, or $0.46 per share) related to a decrease in the contract price due to final weight re-measurements and our inability to date to recover certain costs on disputed change orders related to a large deepwater project which was recently delivered.

- $7.6 million ($5.0 million after-tax, or $0.34 per share) increased contract losses resulting from increases in our projected unit labor rates for one of our fabrication facilities. Our increases in unit labor rates were driven by our expected inability to absorb fixed costs due to decreases in expected oil and gas fabrication activity.

- $0.6 million ($0.4 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) for a non-cash asset impairment charge related to equipment that was held for sale at December 31, 2015 and sold during the first quarter of 2016.

  • Due to the severity of the industry downturn, management has recommended and our board of directors has approved a reduction of our quarterly dividend from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share and a temporary suspension of our stock repurchase program in an effort to conserve cash.
  • Our balance sheet position remains stable with $34.8 million in cash, no debt, and working capital of $78.0 million. We will continue to monitor and maintain a conservative capital structure as we navigate through the current oil and gas downturn.
