1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Gulf Island,” "the Company," "we," "us" and "our") is a leading fabricator of complex steel structures, modules and marine vessels, and a provider of project management, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance and civil construction services. Our customers include United States ("U.S.") and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers; refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial, power and marine operators; EPC companies; and certain agencies of the U.S. government. We operate and manage our business through two operating divisions ("Shipyard" and "Fabrication & Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our reportable segments. Our corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas, with operating facilities located in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana.  See Note 7 for discussion of our realigned reportable segments and discussion of our anticipated closure of the Jennings Yard.

Significant projects in our backlog include the fabrication of an offshore jacket and deck as well as modules for an offshore facility; material supply for an offshore jacket and deck; and construction of three harbor tug vessels, three regional class research vessels, three vehicle ferries, an ice-breaker tug, and five towing, salvage and rescue ships.  Projects completed in recent years include the expansion of a paddle wheel riverboat; fabrication of petrochemical modules as well as a meteorological tower and platform for an offshore wind project; and construction of seven harbor tug vessels and two towboats. Other completed projects include the fabrication of wind turbine foundations for the first offshore wind project in the U.S.; and construction of two technologically-advanced OSVs, two of the largest liftboats servicing the Gulf of Mexico ("GOM"), one of the deepest production jackets in the GOM, and the first single point anchor reservoir ("SPAR") hull fabricated in the U.S.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements ("Financial Statements") reflect all wholly owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial statements, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Our Consolidated Balance Sheet ("Balance Sheet") at December 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and related footnotes included in our 2019 Annual Report.

Liquidity Outlook

In recent years our operating results and cash flows have been impacted by lower margins due to competitive pricing, a significant underutilization of our facilities and losses on certain projects.  As a result, we implemented initiatives to improve and maintain our liquidity (including reducing the compensation of our executive officers and directors and reducing the size of our board), reduce our reliance on the fabrication of structures and marine vessels associated with the offshore oil and gas sector, improve our resource utilization and centralize our key project resources, and improve our competitiveness and project execution.  These initiatives are ongoing, and while we can provide no assurances that the initiatives will achieve our desired results, we believe our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and availability under our Credit Agreement (defined in Note 4), will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and satisfy any debt service obligations or other funding requirements, for at least twelve months from the filing date of this Report.

- 5 -

Operating Cycle

The durations of our contracts vary, but typically extend beyond twelve months from the date of contract award. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities have been classified as current under the operating cycle concept whereby all contract-related items are classified as current regardless of whether cash will be received or paid within a twelve-month period. Assets and liabilities classified as current which may not be received or paid within the next twelve months include contract retainage, contract assets and contract liabilities. Variations from normal contract terms may result in the classification of assets and liabilities as long-term.

Use of Estimates

General - The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  We believe our most significant estimates and judgments are associated with revenue recognition for our contracts, including application of the percentage-of-completion method, estimating costs to complete each contract and the recognition of incentives, unapproved change orders, claims and liquidated damages; fair value and recoverability assessments that must be periodically performed with respect to long-lived assets and our assets held for sale; determination of deferred income tax assets, liabilities and related valuation allowances; reserves for bad debts; liabilities related to self-insurance programs; and the impacts of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and low oil prices on our business, estimates and judgments as discussed further below. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which our Financial Statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ materially from those included in the Financial Statements.

COVID-19 and Low Oil Prices - COVID-19 is a widespread public health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the U.S. President has announced a national emergency relating to COVID-19. National, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed, or are considering, quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, have had and are expected to continue to have a significant impact on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including proposed government payments to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain. Due to COVID-19 and related measures, there has been a decline in the demand for, and thus prices of, oil and these declines have been exacerbated by a market share dispute between the world’s largest oil producers.  Some economists are predicting the U.S. may enter a recession of unknown duration. The extent to which COVID-19 and low oil prices may adversely impact our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows depends on future developments that are highly uncertain and unpredictable.  As a result of this current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 and low oil prices, the related business and financial impacts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, and may include, among other things, unanticipated project costs due to project disruptions and schedule delays, lower labor productivity, lack of performance by subcontractors and suppliers, and contract disputes, including claims. Events and changes in circumstances arising after this Report resulting from the impacts of COVID-19, if any, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive securities.  See Note 6 for calculations of our basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash Equivalents - We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments - We consider investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than twelve months to be short-term investments. At March 31, 2020, our short-term investments include U.S. Treasuries with original maturities of less than six months.  We intend to hold these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that we would be required to sell the investments prior to their maturity.  The investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their near-term maturities. All short-term investments are traded on active markets with quoted prices and represent level 1 fair value measurements.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the first-in-first-out basis.  The cost of inventory includes acquisition costs, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred to bring the inventory to a current

- 6 -

location and condition.  Net realizable value is our estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  An allowance for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based on an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, estimates of future sales and salvage value.  

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers on a short-term basis and contract receivables are generally not collateralized; however, we typically have the right to place liens on our projects in the event of nonpayment by our customers. We routinely review individual contract receivable balances for collectibility and make provisions for probable uncollectible amounts as necessary. Among the factors considered in our review are the financial condition of our customer and its access to financing, underlying disputes with the customer, the age and value of the receivable balance, and economic conditions in general. See Note 2 for further discussion of our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Awards under our stock-based compensation plans are calculated using a fair value-based measurement method. We use the straight-line method to recognize share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award.  We recognize the excess tax benefit or tax deficiency resulting from the difference between the deduction we receive for tax purposes and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize for financial reporting purposes created when common stock vests, as an income tax benefit or expense on our Statement of Operations.  

Tax payments made on behalf of employees to taxing authorities in order to satisfy employee income tax withholding obligations from the vesting of shares under our stock-based compensation plans are classified as a financing activity on our Statement of Cash Flows.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. See Note 3 for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Depreciation Expense

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 25 years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the physical or economic lives of the plant or equipment, are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and our lease assets included within other noncurrent assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If a recoverability assessment is required, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if an impairment exists. An asset group constitutes the minimum level for which identifiable cash flows are principally independent of the cash flows of other assets or asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount and recording the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its fair value as an impairment charge. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or third-party indications of value, as appropriate.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value determinations for financial assets and liabilities are based on the particular facts and circumstances. Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three levels of the valuation hierarchy are as follows:

- 7 -

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. See Note 3 for discussion of our assets held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

General - Our revenue is derived from customer contracts and agreements that are awarded on a competitively bid and negotiated basis using a range of contracting options, including fixed-price, unit-rate and T&M.  Our contracts primarily relate to the fabrication and construction of steel structures, modules and marine vessels, and project management services and other service arrangements. We recognize revenue for our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("Topic 606").  

Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, provisions of Topic 606 specify which goods and services are distinct and represent separate performance obligations (representing the unit of account in Topic 606) within a contract and which goods and services (which could include multiple contracts or agreements) should be aggregated. In general, a performance obligation is a contractual obligation to construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized as the work progresses. Revenue for performance obligations that do not meet the criteria for over time recognition are recognized at a point-in-time when a performance obligation is complete and a customer has obtained control of a promised asset.

Fixed-Price and Unit-Rate Contracts - Revenue for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs (an input method).  Contract costs include direct costs, such as materials and labor, and indirect costs attributable to contract activity.  Material costs that are significant to a contract and do not reflect an accurate measure of project completion are excluded from the determination of our contract progress. Revenue for such materials is only recognized to the extent of costs incurred.  Revenue and gross profit for contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method can be significantly affected by changes in estimated cost to complete such contracts. Significant estimates impacting the cost to complete a contract include: costs of engineering, materials, components, equipment, labor and subcontracts; labor productivity; schedule durations, including subcontractor and supplier progress; contract disputes, including claims; achievement of contractual performance requirements; and contingency, among others.  Although our customers retain the right and ability to change, modify or discontinue further work at any stage of a contract, in the event our customers discontinue work, they are required to compensate us for the work performed to date.  The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the period in which these changes become known, including, to the extent required, the reversal of profit recognized in prior periods and the recognition of losses expected to be incurred on contracts. Due to the various estimates inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from those estimates, which could result in material changes to our Financial Statements and related disclosures.  See Note 2 for further discussion of projects with significant changes in estimated margins during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

T&M Contracts - Revenue for our T&M contracts is recognized at contracted rates when the work is performed, the costs are incurred and collection is reasonably assured. Our T&M contracts provide for labor and materials to be billed at rates specified within the contract. The consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value of our performance completed at the time of invoicing.

Variable Consideration - Revenue and gross profit for contracts can be significantly affected by variable consideration, which can be in the form of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages that may not be resolved until the later stages of the contract or after the contract has been completed. We estimate variable consideration based on the amount we expect to be entitled and include estimated amounts in transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when we conclude that any significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. See Note 2 for further discussion of unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages.  

Additional Disclosures - Topic 606 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. See Note 2 for required disclosures under Topic 606.

Pre-Contract Costs

Pre-contract costs are generally charged to cost of revenue as incurred, but in certain cases their recognition may be deferred if specific probability criteria are met. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no deferred pre-contract costs.

- 8 -

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net, generally represents recoveries or provisions for bad debts, gains or losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment other than assets held for sale, and income or expense associated with certain nonrecurring items.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, other (income) expense also includes a gain of approximately $10.0 million associated with the settlement of a contract dispute for a project completed in 2015.

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Due to changing tax laws, significant judgment is required to estimate the effective tax rate expected to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future.

A valuation allowance is provided to reserve for deferred tax assets ("DTA(s)") if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the DTAs will not be realized. The realization of our DTAs depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate jurisdictions.

Reserves for uncertain tax positions are recognized when we consider it more likely than not that additional tax will be due in excess of amounts reflected in our income tax returns, irrespective of whether or not we have received tax assessments.  Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are recorded within income tax expense.  

New Accounting Standards

Financial instruments - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, short-term investments, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, we have not elected to early adopt the standard. The new standard is required to be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

Income taxes - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes,” to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and simplify areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enacted tax laws or rate changes. The new standard will be effective for us in the first quarter 2021. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

2. REVENUE, CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND OTHER CONTRACT MATTERS

As discussed in Note 1, we recognize revenue for our contracts in accordance with Topic 606.  Summarized below are required disclosures under Topic 606 and other relevant guidance.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables summarize revenue for each of our operating segments, disaggregated by contract type, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

- 9 -

Future Performance Obligations Required Under Contracts

The following table summarizes our remaining performance obligations by operating segment at March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

We expect to recognize revenue for our remaining performance obligations at March 31, 2020, in the following periods (in thousands):

Contracts Assets and Liabilities

Revenue recognition and customer invoicing for our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts may occur at different times. Revenue recognition is based upon our estimated percentage-of-completion as discussed in Note 1; however, customer invoicing is generally dependent upon contractual billing terms, which could provide for customer payments in advance of performing the work, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is reflected as contract assets on our Balance Sheet. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized, and accrued contract losses, are reflected as contract liabilities on our Balance Sheet. Information with respect to uncompleted contracts at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

- 10 -

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our provision for bad debts is included in other (income) expense, net on our Statement of Operations. Our provision for bad debts for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and our allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were not significant.

Variable Consideration

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims or incentives. However, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, certain projects reflected a reduction to our estimated contract price for liquidated damages of $11.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of which $11.2 million was recorded during 2017.

Changes in Project Estimates

Changes in Estimates for 2020 - For the three months ended March 31, 2020, significant changes in estimated margins on projects negatively impacted operating results for our Shipyard Division by $1.2 million and benefited operating results for our Fabrication & Services Division by $0.9 million.   The changes in estimates were associated with the following:

Shipyard Division

Fabrication & Services Division

Changes in Estimates for 2019 - For the three months ended March 31, 2019, individual projects with significant changes in estimated margins did not have a material net impact on our operating results.

Other Project Matters

Project Tariffs - Certain imported materials used, or forecast to be used, for our projects are currently subject to existing, new or increased tariffs or duties. We believe such amounts, if incurred, are recoverable from our customers under the contractual provisions of our contracts; however, we can provide no assurances that we will successfully recover such amounts.

Other – At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included $3.0 million of retention for a previously completed project in our Fabrication & Services Division for the fabrication of petrochemical modules. This retention is billable to the customer upon expiration of the contractual warranty period, which is expected to occur in the second quarter 2020. In January 2020, the customer entered into a restructuring through a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy process and received court approval in March 2020.  The restructuring is intended to enable the customer to fulfill its commitments to suppliers, including payment of our retention; however, it could delay the timing of collection of the retention.  

- 11 -

3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Our assets held for sale at March 31, 2020, primarily consisted of three 660-ton crawler cranes and a deck barge.  A summary of our assets held for sale at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we received proceeds of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the sale of assets that were held for sale.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, no gain or loss was recognized on the asset sales as the proceeds approximated the carrying value of the assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a gain of $0.4 million on the asset sales and recorded impairments of $0.3 million related to other assets that were held for sale.

4. CREDIT FACILITIES

Credit Agreement

We have a $40.0 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) with Hancock Whitney Bank ("Whitney Bank") that can be used for borrowings or letters of credit that matures June 9, 2021. On February 28, 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement to amend our financial covenants. Our amended quarterly financial covenants at March 31, 2020, and for the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, are as follows:

Our Credit Agreement also includes restrictions regarding our ability to: (i) grant liens; (ii) make certain loans or investments; (iii) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee other indebtedness in excess of specified levels; (iv) make any material change to the nature of our business or undergo a fundamental change; (v) make any material dispositions; (vi) acquire another company or all or substantially all of its assets; (vii) enter into a merger, consolidation, or sale leaseback transaction; or (viii) declare and pay dividends if any potential default or event of default occurs.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be designated, at our option, as either the Wall Street Journal published Prime Rate (3.3% at March 31, 2020) or LIBOR (1.0% at March 31, 2020) plus 2.0% per annum. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement are 0.4% per annum and interest on outstanding letters of credit is 2.0% per annum. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets with a negative pledge on our real property.

At March 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $9.8 million of outstanding letters of credit to support our projects, providing $30.2 million of available capacity. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants, with a tangible net worth of $159.3 million (as defined by the Credit Agreement); total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $68.6 million; a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.80 to 1.00; and a ratio of funded debt to tangible net worth of 0.06:1.00.

Surety Bonds

We issue surety bonds in the ordinary course of business to support our projects.  At March 31, 2020, we had $411.8 million of outstanding surety bonds.

- 12 -

Loan Agreement

On April 17, 2020, we entered into an unsecured loan in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million (“PPP Loan”) with Whitney Bank pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is sponsored by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), and is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).  We received a consent from Whitney Bank that allows the PPP Loan to be included as permitted debt under our debt covenants in our Credit Agreement and is subject to, among other things, compliance with the CARES Act and use of the PPP Loan proceeds only for permissible purposes and in a manner intended to maximize our entitlement to forgiveness of the PPP Loan. See Note 8 for further discussion of the PPP Loan.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of our business, primarily involving commercial disputes and claims, workers’ compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under general maritime laws of the U.S. and the Jones Act. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

MPSV Termination Letter

During the first quarter 2018, we received notices of termination of the contracts for the construction of two MPSVs from one of our Shipyard Division customers.  We dispute the purported terminations and disagree with the customer’s reasons for such terminations. Pending the resolution of the dispute, we have ceased all work and the partially completed vessels and associated equipment and materials remain at our facility in Houma, Louisiana. The customer also made claims under the bonds issued by the Surety in connection with the construction of the vessels. We have discussed with the Surety our disagreement with the customer's purported terminations and its claims and continue to confer with the Surety regarding the dispute with the customer.

On October 2, 2018, we filed a lawsuit against the customer to enforce our rights and remedies under the applicable construction contracts. Our lawsuit disputes the propriety of the customer’s purported terminations of the construction contracts and seeks to recover damages associated with the customer’s actions. The customer filed its response to our lawsuit denying many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asserting a counterclaim against us seeking, among other things, declaratory judgment as to the validity of the customer’s purported terminations of the construction contracts and other purported claims for which the customer is seeking damages in an unspecified amount.  We have filed a response to the counterclaim denying all of the customer’s claims.  The customer subsequently filed an amendment to its counterclaim to add claims by the customer against the Surety. The customer also filed a motion for partial summary judgment with the trial court seeking, among other things, to obtain possession of the vessels. A hearing on the motion was held on May 28, 2019, and the customer's request to obtain possession of the vessels was denied by the trial court.  The customer subsequently filed a second motion for partial summary judgment re-urging its previously denied request to obtain possession of the vessels.  A hearing on the second motion was held on November 5, 2019, and the customer’s request to obtain possession of the vessels was again denied by the trial court.  Thereafter, the customer requested that the appellate court exercise its discretion and review the trial court’s denial of the customer’s second motion.  We have opposed the discretionary appellate review request of the customer and the appellate matter is pending.  Discovery in connection with the lawsuit is ongoing.  

We are unable to estimate the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome with respect to the dispute or estimate the amount of potential loss, if any, related to this matter. We can provide no assurances that we will not incur additional costs as we pursue our rights and remedies under the contracts and defend against the customer’s claims. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheet included a net contract asset of $12.5 million, which consisted of our contract asset, accrued contract losses, and deferred revenue balances at the time of the customer's purported terminations of the contracts. In April 2020, the customer announced it was entering into a restructuring through a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. However, as of the filing date of this Report, the customer had not filed for Chapter 11.  We hold first priority security interests and liens against the MPSVs that secure the obligations owed to us by the customer.

Insurance

We may be exposed to future losses through our use of deductibles and self-insured retentions for our exposures related to third party liability and workers' compensation.  We expect liabilities in excess of any deductibles and self-insured retentions to be covered by insurance.  To the extent we are self-insured, reserves are recorded based upon our estimates, with input from legal and insurance advisors.  Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We obtain letters of credit under our Credit Agreement or surety bonds from financial institutions to provide to our customers in order to secure advance payments or guarantee performance under our contracts, or in lieu of retention being withheld on our

- 13 -

contracts.  With respect to a letter of credit under our Credit Agreement, any payment in the event of non-performance under a contract would become a borrowing under our Credit Agreement and thus a direct obligation. With respect to a surety bond, any payment in the event of non-performance is subject to indemnification of the Surety by us, which may require us to borrow under our Credit Agreement.  When a contract is complete, the contingent obligation terminates, and letters of credit or surety bonds are returned.  See Note 4 for further discussion of our Credit Agreement and surety bonds.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive and changing U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws of other countries, that establish health and environmental quality standards.  These standards, among others, relate to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes.  We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or wastes.  In connection with the historical operation of our facilities, including those associated with acquired operations, substances which currently are or might be considered hazardous were used or disposed of at some sites that will or may require us to make expenditures for remediation. We believe we are in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental laws and regulations and maintain insurance coverage to mitigate exposure to environmental liabilities.  We do not believe any environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

6. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) We have no dilutive securities.

7. OPERATING SEGMENTS

During 2019, we operated and managed our business through three operating divisions ("Fabrication," "Shipyard" and "Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represented our reportable segments. In the first quarter 2020, our Fabrication and Services Divisions were operationally combined to form an integrated new division called Fabrication & Services.  The operational combination will enable us to capitalize on the best practices and execution experience of the former divisions and maximize the utilization of our resources. As a result, we currently operate and manage our business through two operating divisions ("Shipyard" and "Fabrication & Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our reportable segments. Accordingly, the segment results (including the effects of eliminations) for our Fabrication and Services Divisions for 2019 were combined to conform to the presentation of our reportable segments for 2020. In addition to the division combination, in the first quarter 2020, management and project execution responsibility for our two, forty-vehicle ferry projects was transferred from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division to better align the supervision and construction of these vessels with the capabilities and expertise of our Shipyard Division. Accordingly, results for these projects for 2019 were reclassified from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division to conform to the presentation of these projects for 2020.  Our two operating divisions and Corporate Division are discussed below:  

Shipyard Division - Our Shipyard Division fabricates newbuild marine vessels, including OSVs, MPSVs, research vessels, tugboats, salvage vessels, towboats, barges, drydocks, anchor handling vessels, and lift boats; provides marine repair and maintenance services, including steel repair, blasting and painting services, electrical systems repair, machinery and piping system repairs, and propeller, shaft, and rudder reconditioning; and performs conversion projects to lengthen vessels and modify vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity or enhance their capacity or functionality. These activities are performed at our facilities in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana. In the first quarter 2020, we announced our intent to close the Jennings Yard upon completion of our harbor tug projects, which is forecast to occur in the third quarter 2020.  

- 14 -

Fabrication & Services Division - Our Fabrication & Services (“F&S”) Division fabricates modules, skids and piping systems for onshore refining, petrochemical, LNG and industrial facilities and offshore facilities; fabricates foundations, secondary steel components and support structures for alternative energy developments and coastal mooring facilities; fabricates offshore production platforms and associated structures, including jacket foundations, piles and topsides for fixed production and utility platforms, as well as hulls and topsides for floating production and utility platforms; fabricates other complex steel structures and components; provides services on offshore platforms, including welding, interconnect piping and other services required to connect production equipment and service modules and equipment; provides on-site construction and maintenance services on inland platforms and structures and industrial facilities; and performs municipal and drainage projects, including pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works. These activities are performed at our facility in Houma, Louisiana.

Corporate Division - Our Corporate Division includes costs that do not directly relate to our two operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs of maintaining our corporate office, executive management salaries and incentives, board of directors' fees, litigation related costs, and costs associated with overall corporate governance and being a publicly traded company. Costs incurred by our Corporate Division on behalf of our operating divisions are allocated to the operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, human resources, insurance, sales and marketing, information technology and accounting.

We generally evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our divisions based upon gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss). Segment assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each division. Intersegment revenues are priced at the estimated fair value of work performed. Summarized financial information for our segments as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are as follows (in thousands):

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As discussed in Note 4, on April 17, 2020, we entered into the PPP Loan with Whitney Bank for proceeds of $10.0 million pursuant to the PPP, which is sponsored by the SBA and is part of the CARES Act.  The PPP provides for loans to qualifying businesses, the proceeds of which may only be used for payroll costs, rent, utilities, mortgage interest, and interest on other pre-existing indebtedness (the “permissible expenses”).  The PPP Loan matures on April 17, 2022, bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.0 percent per annum, and is payable in monthly installments commencing on November 17, 2020.  The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.  The PPP Loan, and accrued interest, may be forgiven partially or in full, if certain conditions are met.  The most significant of the conditions are:

- 15 -

In order to obtain full forgiveness of the PPP Loan, we must request forgiveness and provide satisfactory documentation in accordance with applicable SBA guidelines.  We will be obligated to repay any portion of the principal amount of the PPP Loan that is not forgiven, together with accrued interest. We intend to use the PPP Loan proceeds for only permissible purposes; however, we can provide no assurances that we will be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, in whole or in part.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is provided to assist readers in understanding our financial performance during the periods presented and significant trends that may impact our future performance. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the related notes thereto.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

This Report contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss our potential future performance. Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as projections or expectations relating to oil and gas prices, operating cash flows, capital expenditures, liquidity and tax rates. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be,” “potential” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements.

We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include the duration and scope of, and uncertainties associated with, the COVID-19 pandemic and related contraction in oil demand and the dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of OPEC and the impact thereof on our business and the global economy, which are evolving and beyond our control, our ability to secure new project awards, including fabrication projects for refining, petrochemical, LNG and industrial facilities and offshore wind developments, our ability to improve project execution, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, competition, consolidation of our customers, timing and award of new contracts, reliance on significant customers, financial ability and credit worthiness of our customers, nature of our contract terms, competitive pricing and cost overruns on our projects, adjustments to previously reported profits or losses under the percentage-of-completion method, weather conditions, changes in backlog estimates, suspension or termination of projects, our ability to raise additional capital, our ability to amend or obtain new debt financing or credit facilities on favorable terms, our ability to remain in compliance with our covenants contained in our Credit Agreement, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow, our ability to sell certain assets, any future asset impairments, utilization of facilities or closure or consolidation of facilities, customer or subcontractor disputes, our ability to resolve the dispute with a customer relating to the purported terminations of contracts to build two MPSVs, operating dangers and limits on insurance coverage, barriers to entry into new lines of business, our ability to employ skilled workers, loss of key personnel, performance of subcontractors and dependence on suppliers, changes in trade policies of the U.S. and other countries, compliance with regulatory and environmental laws, lack of navigability of canals and rivers, shutdowns of the U.S. government, systems and information technology interruption or failure and data security breaches, performance of partners in any future joint ventures and other strategic alliances, shareholder activism, focus on environmental, social and governance factors by institutional investors and other factors described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report as may be updated by subsequent filings with the SEC.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the forward-looking statements are made, which we cannot control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We caution investors that we do not intend to update forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview

Certain terms are defined in the “Glossary of Terms” beginning on page ii.

We are a leading fabricator of complex steel structures, modules and marine vessels, and a provider of project management, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance and civil construction services. Our customers include United States ("U.S.") and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers; refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial, power, and marine operators; EPC companies; and certain agencies of the U.S. Government.

During 2019, we operated and managed our business through three operating divisions ("Fabrication," "Shipyard" and "Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represented our reportable segments. In the first quarter 2020, our Fabrication and Services Divisions were operationally combined to form an integrated new division called Fabrication & Services. As a result, we operate and manage our business through two operating divisions ("Shipyard" and "Fabrication & Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our reportable segments. Accordingly, the segment results (including the effects of eliminations) for our Fabrication and Services Divisions for 2019 were combined to conform to the presentation of our reportable segments for 2020. In addition to the division combination, in the first quarter 2020, management and project execution responsibility for our two, forty-vehicle ferry projects were transferred from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division. Accordingly,

- 17 -

results for these projects for 2019 were reclassified from our former Fabrication Division to our Shipyard Division to conform to the presentation of these projects for 2020 (the projects had no significant gross profit for 2019). See Note 7 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of our realigned operating divisions.

Our corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas, with operating facilities located in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana. In the first quarter 2020, we announced our intent to close the Jennings Yard upon completion of our harbor tug projects, which is forecast to occur in the third quarter 2020.  See Note 7 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of our anticipated closure of the Jennings Yard.

Beginning in late 2014, a decline in oil and gas prices led to a significant and sustained reduction in capital spending and drilling activities from our traditional offshore oil and gas customer base.  Consequently, our operating results and cash flows were negatively impacted as we experienced reductions in revenue, lower margins due to competitive pricing, significant underutilization of our operating facilities and losses on certain projects.  During the first quarter 2020, we again experienced a significant decline in oil prices to historical lows due to a decline in demand for oil resulting from an unprecedented global health crisis due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related economic crisis compounded by a market share dispute between the world’s largest oil producers.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the U.S. President declared a national emergency relating to COVID-19.  National, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed, or are considering, quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, have had and are expected to continue to have a significant impact on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including proposed government payments to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain. Some economists are predicting the U.S. may enter a recession of unknown duration.

The decline in oil prices and COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty for our oil and gas related customer base.  Certain of our customers have requested to renegotiate pricing and suspended contracts in our backlog, and bidding activities for several new project opportunities have been suspended.  Given that we operate in a critical infrastructure industry as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, we have continued to operate our facilities.  However, we are being impacted by employee absenteeism and the effects on productivity and utilization from mitigation measures put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees and contractors (as discussed further below) and by the effects of COVID-19 on our suppliers, subcontractors and customers.  See Item1A and Note 1 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic and developments in the global oil markets. We are addressing these operational, market and economic challenges through a strategy focused on the following initiatives to:

Progress on our Initiatives

Efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations, employees and contractors – We are taking actions to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations while ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and contractors.  

Efforts to preserve and improve our liquidity – We continue to take actions to preserve and improve our liquidity. At March 31, 2020 our cash and short-term investments totaled $68.6 million and availability under our Credit Agreement totaled $30.2 million. Our liquidity reflects our cost reduction initiatives (including reducing the compensation of our executive officers and directors and reducing the size of our board), the sale of underutilized assets and facilities and an ongoing focus on project cash flow management. In addition to our cash and short-term investments, at March 31, 2020, our assets held for sale totaled $8.1 million.  Further, as discussed above, we entered into a loan agreement in April 2020 pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act.  

Efforts to improve our resource utilization and centralize our key project resources – We are improving our resource utilization and centralizing our key project resources through the rationalization and integration of our facilities and operations.

Efforts to improve our competitiveness and project execution – We have taken, and continue to take, actions to improve our competitiveness and project execution by enhancing our proposal, estimating and operations resources, processes and procedures.  Such actions include strategic changes in management and key personnel, the addition of functional expertise and other measures designed to strengthen our personnel, processes and procedures.  Further, we are taking a more disciplined approach to pursuing and bidding project opportunities, putting more rigor around our bid estimates to provide greater confidence that our estimates are achievable, increasing accountability and providing incentives for the execution of projects in line with our original estimates and subsequent forecasts, and incorporating recent lessons learned into the bidding and execution of future projects.  

Efforts to reduce our reliance on the offshore oil and gas sector – We are pursuing several initiatives to reduce our reliance on the fabrication of structures and marine vessels associated with the offshore oil and gas sector.

Operating Outlook

Our focus remains on securing profitable new project awards and backlog in the near-term and generating operating income and cash flows in the longer-term, while ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and contractors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our success, including achieving the aforementioned initiatives, will be determined by, among other things:

In addition, in the near-term: (i) the utilization of our Shipyard Division will be impacted by temporary delays in construction activities for our three research vessel projects until engineering achieves further completion and disruptions caused by the closure of our Jennings Yard, (ii) the utilization of our newly integrated Fabrication & Services Division will be impacted by the delay in timing of new project awards and suspension of work on certain projects in backlog and (iii) the utilization of both divisions will be impacted by inefficiencies associated with COVID-19 related employee absenteeism and mitigation measures. Our near-term results may also be impacted by costs associated with investments in key personnel and process improvement efforts to support our aforementioned initiatives. In addition, our gross profit for both divisions will be impacted in the near-term as certain projects within our backlog are in a loss position and a majority of our remaining backlog is at, or near, break-even gross profit.  Specifically, due to previous project awards bid at competitive pricing (including the option exercises by our customer in the first quarter 2020 for two additional towing, salvage and rescue ships) and project charges in 2019, approximately 5% of our backlog is in a loss position (excluding our MPSV projects), 75% of our backlog is at, or near, break-even, and our remaining backlog is at a low gross profit margin.   Accordingly, this backlog will result in future revenue with low or no gross profit; however, we continue to focus on improvements to our people, processes and procedures to improve project gross profit.  See Item1A and Note 1 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic and developments in the global oil markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Financial Statements, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 included in our 2019 Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019.

New Awards and Backlog

New project awards represent expected revenue values of commitments received during a given period, including scope growth on existing commitments. A commitment represents authorization from our customer to begin work or purchase materials pursuant to a written agreement, letter of intent or other form of authorization. Backlog represents the unrecognized revenue for our new project awards and may differ from the value of future performance obligations for our contracts required to be disclosed under Topic 606 and presented in Note 2 of our Financial Statements in Item 1. In general, a performance obligation is a contractual obligation to construct and/or transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Backlog includes our performance obligations at March 31, 2020, plus signed contracts that are temporarily suspended or under protest that may not meet the criteria to be reported as future performance obligations under Topic 606 but represent future work that we believe will be performed. We believe that backlog, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors. New project awards and backlog may vary significantly each reporting period based on the timing of our major new contract commitments.

Projects in our backlog are generally subject to delay, suspension, termination, or an increase or decrease in scope at the option of the customer; however, the customer is required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination, suspension, or decrease in scope. Depending on the size of the project, the delay, suspension, termination or increase or reduction in scope of any one contract could significantly impact our backlog and change the expected amount and timing of revenue recognized.

New project awards by Division for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are as follows (in thousands):

A reconciliation of our remaining performance obligations under Topic 606 (the most comparable GAAP measure as presented in Note 2 of our Financial Statements in Item 1) to our reported backlog is provided below (in thousands).

Backlog by Division at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is as follows (in thousands):

- 21 -

Backlog at March 31, 2020 is expected to be recognized as revenue in the following periods (in thousands):

Our contracts for the construction of five towing, salvage and rescue ships contain options which grant our customer (the U.S. Navy) the right, if exercised, for the construction of three additional vessels at contracted prices. We do not include options in our backlog. If all options under our current contracts were exercised by such customer, our backlog would increase by approximately $203.0 million. We have not received any commitments from such customer related to the exercise of these options, and we can provide no assurances that any options will be exercised. We believe disclosing these options provides investors with useful information to evaluate additional potential work that we would be contractually obligated to perform under our current contracts as well as the potential significance of these options, if exercised.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands in each table, except for percentages):

In the comparative tables below, percentage changes that are not considered meaningful (generally when the prior period amount is immaterial or when the percentage change is significantly greater than 100%) are shown below as "nm" (not meaningful).

Consolidated

New Project Awards – New project awards for 2020 and 2019 were $141.6 million and $45.8 million, respectively.  Significant new project awards for 2020 relate to the exercise of options by the U.S. Navy for the construction of two additional towing, salvage and rescue ships within our Shipyard Division.  Significant new project awards for 2019 relate to our offshore jacket and deck and subsea components projects within our Fabrication & Services Division.  

Revenue - Revenue for 2020 and 2019 was $78.6 million and $67.6 million, respectively, representing an increase of 16.2%. The increase was primarily due to:

Gross profit (loss) - Gross profit (loss) for 2020 and 2019 was a gross loss of $0.3 million (0.3% of revenue) and gross profit of $0.6 million (0.8% of revenue), respectively. Gross loss for 2020 was primarily due to:

The gross loss for 2020 relative to gross profit for 2019 was primarily due to:

- 23 -

General and administrative expense - General and administrative expense for 2020 and 2019 was $3.7 million (4.8% of revenue) and $3.8 million (5.7% of revenue), respectively, representing a decrease of 2.3%. The decrease was primarily due to:

The customer disputes relate primarily to a contract dispute for a completed project that was settled during the first quarter 2020, and our MPSV projects which are subject to purported termination and for which construction has been suspended.  Legal and advisory fees related to such disputes totaled $0.6 million and $0.1 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are reflected within our Corporate Segment. See Note 1 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of our settlement of the contract dispute and Note 5 for further discussion of our MPSV dispute.  

Impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale – Impairments and (gain) loss on assets held for sale for 2019 was a gain of $0.1 million. See Note 3 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of our assets held for sale.

Other (income) expense, net - Other (income) expense, net for 2020 and 2019 was income of $9.9 million and expense of $0.1 million, respectively. Other (income) expense, net generally represents recoveries or provisions for bad debts, gains or losses associated with the sale or disposition of property and equipment other than assets held for sale, and income or expense associated with certain nonrecurring items. The income for 2020 was due to a gain of approximately $10.0 million associated with the settlement of a contract dispute for a project completed in 2015.  See Note 1 of our Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of our settlement of the contract dispute.

Interest (expense) income, net - Interest (expense) income, net for 2020 and 2019, was income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The net interest income for both periods was primarily due to interest earned on our cash and short-term investment balances, offset partially by interest on the unused portion of our Credit Agreement and interest amortization associated with our long-term lease liability. The decrease in interest income for 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in interest rates.

Income tax (expense) benefit - Income tax (expense) benefit for 2020 and 2019, was expense of $0.1 million and $22,000, respectively. Our income tax expense for both periods represents state income taxes. No federal income tax expense was recorded for our 2020 net income as it was fully offset by the reversal of valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. No federal income tax benefit was recorded for our 2019 net loss as a full valuation allowance was recorded against our net deferred tax assets generated during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Available Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, scheduled maturities of our short-term investments, and availability under our Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2020, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $68.6 million, and availability under our Credit Agreement was $30.2 million as follows (in thousands):

_______________

Working Capital
