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

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

Disaggregation of Revenue

Future Performance Obligations

Contracts Assets and Liabilities

The timing of customer invoicing and recognition of revenue using the POC method may occur at different times. 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 billings when services are provided. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is reflected as contract assets on our Balance Sheet, or to the extent we have an unconditional right to the consideration, is reflected as contract receivables 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 contracts that were incomplete at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, is as follows (in thousands):

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses

Our provision for bad debts and credit losses is included in other (income) expense, net on our Statement of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized income of $0.2 million associated with revisions to our allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, changes were not significant. Our allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses at June 30, 2023 was $0.4 million, and it was not significant at December 31, 2022. We recorded a $0.6 million increase to beginning accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2023, in connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-13. We had no significant write-offs or recoveries of previously recorded bad debts during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. See “New Accounting Standards” in Note 1 for further discussion of our adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Variable Consideration

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no material amounts in revenue related to unapproved change orders, claims or incentives. However, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, certain active projects within our Shipyard Division reflected a reduction to our estimated contract price for liquidated damages of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Changes in Project Estimates

We determine the impact of changes in estimated margins on projects for a given period by calculating the amount of revenue recognized in the period that would have been recognized in a prior period had such estimated margins been forecasted in the prior period. The total impact of changes in estimated margins for a project as disclosed on a quarterly basis may be different from the applicable year-to-date impact due to the application of the POC method and the changing progress of the project at each period end. Such impacts may also be different when a project is commenced and completed within the applicable year-to-date period but spans multiple quarters.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, significant changes in estimated margins on projects negatively impacted operating results for our Shipyard Division by $0.8 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, individual projects with significant changes in estimated margins did not have a material net impact on our operating results. The changes in estimates for the 2023 periods were associated with the following:

Shipyard Division

We completed construction of the ferry in the second quarter 2023; however, in connection with the delivery and commissioning of the vessel, corrosion of the propeller blades was identified and replacement of the propeller blades may ultimately be required. Based on our preliminary estimates, we believe the incremental forecast costs associated with replacement of the propeller blades could range from $1.5 million to $2.0 million, with the schedule for replacement and total cost being highly dependent on the timing of receipt of the propeller blades. Additional schedule related costs could be incurred if the customer refuses to take possession of the vessel until after the propeller blade replacement. We believe the customer is responsible for the cost of the propeller blade replacement given that the customer specified the materials and the equipment manufacturers required to be used for the propulsion system and the cathodic protection to be used to mitigate corrosion. Accordingly, our forecasts at June 30, 2023 do not reflect the estimated costs to replace the propeller blades or any potential schedule related costs. The customer has not accepted responsibility for the replacement of the propeller blades and we are having ongoing correspondence with the customer regarding a path forward for the vessel.

At June 30, 2023, the vessel was substantially complete, exclusive of the potential replacement of the propeller blades. The project was in a loss position at June 30, 2023 and our reserve for estimated losses was $0.1 million. If future subcontractor availability or costs differ from our current estimates or we are unable to achieve our progress estimates, our schedule is further extended or we incur additional liquidated damages, or we experience challenges during sea trials or commissioning of the vessel, or we are unable to recover the costs of the propeller blades replacement or schedule related impacts from our customer, the project would experience further delays and losses.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our operating results were negatively impacted by $0.2 million for our remaining forty-vehicle ferry project, resulting primarily from increased subcontracted services and duration related costs due to extensions of schedule, including forecast liquidated damages. The impacts were primarily due to delays in the receipt of certain equipment and subcontractor delays.

As discussed in our 2022 Financial Statements, we have experienced rework, construction and commissioning challenges on the two ferries, resulting in forecast cost increases and liquidated damages and the need to fabricate a new hull for the vessel that is still under construction. Accordingly, during 2021 we submitted claims to our customer, and subsequently filed a lawsuit, to extend our project schedules and recover the cost impacts of the design deficiencies. The customer denied all liability. Further, during the fourth quarter 2022 and early 2023, we received correspondence from our customer indicating that the new hull for the remaining ferry under construction is exhibiting deformation issues that are potentially beyond the customer’s desired tolerance levels. Our subsequent evaluation does not support the customer’s conclusions and we are continuing construction of the vessel as designed.

At June 30, 2023, the remaining vessel under construction was approximately 95% complete and is forecast to be completed in the third quarter 2023 (previously the second quarter 2023, but was delayed due to the aforementioned impacts). The project was in a loss position at June 30, 2023 and our reserve for estimated losses was $0.5 million. Our forecast costs and scheduled completion date for the remaining vessel are based on the current vessel design and reflect our best estimates; however, such estimates may be impacted by any future challenges with the vessel design deficiencies, including the final resolution of the aforementioned design and deformation issues in dispute. If future craft labor productivity or subcontractor availability or costs differ from our current estimates or we are unable to achieve our progress estimates, our schedule is further extended or we incur additional liquidated damages, we experience challenges during sea trials, commissioning or delivery of the remaining vessel, or other challenges associated with the design deficiencies, including unanticipated warranty costs for either vessel, and are unable to recover associated costs from our customer, or the customer rejects delivery and/or final acceptance of the remaining vessel due to the design dispute, the project would experience further delays and losses. Our forecasts at June 30, 2023 do not reflect potential future benefits, if any, from the favorable resolution of the aforementioned lawsuit and we can provide no assurance that we will be successful recovering previously incurred costs.

Other Operating and Project Matters

Hurricane Ida – On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall near Houma, Louisiana as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with high winds and heavy rains causing damage to buildings and equipment at our Houma Facilities and resulting in significant debris throughout the facility. Our insurance coverages in effect at the time of the storm generally specify coverage amounts for each of our buildings (including contents) and major equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received insurance payments of $0.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, from our insurance carriers associated with interruptions to our operations and damage to buildings and equipment. In addition, we have received payments from our insurance carriers during other periods subsequent to the storm associated with interruptions to our operations and damage to buildings and equipment. Such payments are nonrefundable, and with respect to our buildings, represent the insurance carriers’ estimate of the damage to each building based on the estimated depreciated value of such buildings plus repair costs incurred by us in excess of such estimates for certain buildings. To the extent we incur further repair costs for a building in excess of the amounts received, we may receive additional insurance proceeds up to the limits of our insurance coverage for such building. The classification of insurance proceeds within our Statement of Cash Flows is based on our use or intended use of the proceeds. Proceeds used or intended to be used for repairs that are not deemed to be capital in nature, and proceeds associated with interruptions to our operations, are reflected within operating activities. Proceeds used or intended to be used for repairs that are deemed capital in nature, or proceeds in excess of anticipated repair costs, are reflected within investing activities.

The timing of payments from our insurance carriers have, and may continue to, differ from when we incur the applicable repair and cleanup costs, and accordingly, we have accounted for such differences in timing as follows:

Based on the above, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded gains of $0.2 million (related to interruptions to our operations), $3.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. The gains are included in other (income) expense, net on our Statement of Operations and are reflected within our Fabrication Division. In addition, at June 30, 2023, we had total insurance receivables on our Balance Sheet of $1.3 million. We are continuing to assess our restoration plans and repair efforts are ongoing. We expect to incur future repair costs of approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million associated with previously received insurance payments for certain buildings and equipment. Further, we expect to incur future repair costs in excess of previously received insurance payments for certain buildings and equipment; however, we believe that recovery of insurance proceeds for such costs is probable.

In addition to damage to our Houma Facilities, the storm resulted in damage to one of our forty-vehicle ferry projects, the multi-purpose supply vessels (“MPSVs”) and associated equipment that are in our possession and subject to our MPSV Litigation, and certain bulkheads where the vessels were moored. We are continuing to assess the extent of the storm damage and are evaluating the extent to which any damage was the result of third-party vessels that broke free from their mooring during the storm and struck the ferry, MPSVs and bulkheads. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded charges of $0.3 million, and during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded charges of $0.2 million, associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. See Note 4 for further discussion of our MPSV Litigation.

Offshore Jackets Project – As discussed above, in February 2023, we received direction from our customer to suspend all activities on our offshore jackets project for our Fabrication Division, and in July 2023, the customer cancelled the contract. At June 30, 2023, we had $11.3 million of accounts receivable on our Balance Sheet related to the project, primarily associated with obligations incurred by us for procurement activities. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we received payments of $1.0 million related to such accounts receivable and we have received a payment guarantee bond as security for the remaining accounts receivable amounts. Although such amounts are not in dispute, we have received indications from the customer that we may not receive material additional payments until the end of the third quarter 2023.
