“We are very pleased with our fourth quarter and 2015 full year-results, as they reflect the impact of all the initiatives we have worked on to date, and clearly demonstrate the operational and financial turnaround that began in 2014. The Company has been significantly strengthened, not only in terms of backlog and operating income, but also in terms of its capabilities and its competencies in an extremely challenging market.  Of special note this quarter, all Areas were operationally profitable on an adjusted basis,” said

David Dickson, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott.  “Our success in winning the ONGC Vashishta award in addition to a sizeable transportation and installation (“T&I”) contract offshore Trinidad demonstrates our continued focus on customer engagement and the realization of our strong brand reputation.  It also demonstrates our ability to balance the geographic portfolio while remaining a leader in the Middle East.  Additionally, our recently announced long-term, mutually exclusive consortium with Larsen & Toubro further strengthens our relationship, provides customers with our combined capabilities and provides a unique solution for the offshore and deepwater India market.  Our commitment to excellence in project execution was also evident during the quarter, as our marine campaign on INPEX Ichthys remained on schedule, and we successfully completed the offshore installation and hook up of the PB Litoral Jacket and Topsides ahead of schedule.  Subsequent to year end we announced the April naming ceremony of our new flagship derrick lay vessel, the DLV 2000, and its secured scope as part of our current work schedule in INPEX Ichthys as well as the new award of Greater Western Flank Phase 2, which builds on our leading position in Australia and provides the DLV 2000 with its first pipelay scope.  Despite the current macro outlook we hold greater than 80% of expected 2016 revenue in backlog, our bidding activity remains high and we continue to anticipate a good revenue opportunity pipeline.  In addition, as we move into 2016, we welcome

Erich Kaeser to McDermott’s Board of Directors, whose experience and insights will complement the current Board. ”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Results

The Company realized fourth quarter 2015 adjusted net income of \\$16.0 million, or \\$0.06 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of \\$8.7 million and the year-end non-cash mark-to-market pension charge of \\$26.0 million, compared to an adjusted net income of \\$11.2 million, or \\$0.04 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of \\$6.0 million and the year-end non-cash mark-to-market pension gain of \\$2.9 million in the prior-year fourth quarter.  Fourth quarter 2015 earnings per share attributable to McDermott stockholders on a consolidated basis prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) was a net loss of \\$18.7 million, or \\$0.08 per fully diluted share, compared to earnings of \\$8.2 million, or \\$0.03 per fully diluted share for the prior-year quarter.

The Company reported fourth quarter 2015 revenues of \\$667.4 million, a decrease of \\$139.0 million, compared to revenues of \\$806.4 million for the prior-year fourth quarter.  The INPEX Ichthys project drove the decrease in revenue as it had comparatively lower activity than the prior-year fourth quarter which included significant marine activities, including the installation of the riser support structure and the reeled pipe lay scope.  The key projects contributing to revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 were INPEX Ichthys, Aramco Safaniya Phase 2, ADMA 4 Gas Injection, Brunei Shell pipeline replacement and PB Litoral.

The Company’s adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter 2015 was \\$48.2 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 7.2%, excluding the adjustments mentioned above. These results compare to the 2014 fourth quarter adjusted operating income of \\$29.0 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 3.6%, excluding the adjustments mentioned above.  Operating income for the fourth quarter 2015 was positively impacted by the successful negotiation and agreement of weather related recoveries in the Middle East, a change order on the INPEX Ichthys contract, cost reductions as a result of the McDermott Profitability Initiative (“MPI”), reversal of liquidated damage reserves related to a schedule extension on PB Litoral and better than expected utilization. These positive impacts were partially offset by idle costs associated with some of our marine vessels and fabrication facilities due to project sequencing and seasonality.

Cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter 2015 was \\$60.6 million, a decrease compared to the \\$119.3 million provided in the fourth quarter 2014.  The fourth quarter 2015 was negatively impacted by Pemex unilaterally extending payment terms to its suppliers, including McDermott.    

Full-Year 2015 Operating Results

For the full-year ended December 31, 2015, the Company realized adjusted net income of \\$65.5 million, or \\$0.23 per adjusted fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of \\$40.8 million, a legal settlement of \\$16.7 million and the year-end non-cash mark-to-market pension charge of \\$26.0 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of \\$60.8 million, or \\$0.26 per fully diluted share, excluding restructuring charges of \\$18.1 million and the year-end non-cash mark-to-market pension gain of \\$2.9 million in the prior-year.  Consolidated GAAP full-year 2015 results were a net loss of \\$18.0 million, or \\$0.08 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of \\$76.0 million, or \\$0.32 per fully diluted share in the prior-year.

The Company reported revenues of \\$3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of \\$0.8 billion, compared to \\$2.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to progress on INPEX Ichthys, Brunei Shell pipeline replacement and PB Litoral. 

The Company reported full-year adjusted operating income of \\$174.7 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 5.7%, excluding the adjustments mentioned above. These results compare to the full-year 2014 adjusted operating income of \\$23.7 million, or an adjusted operating margin of 1.0%, excluding the adjustments mentioned above and including \\$46.2 million of gains on asset sales.  Operating income for the full-year was positively impacted by significantly improved project execution, including on the INPEX Ichthys project, where activities remained on schedule, continued progress made on multiple Saudi Aramco projects and installation and hook up of the PB Litoral facilities ahead of schedule. 

Cash provided by operating activities in the full-year 2015 was \\$55.3 million, an increase compared to the \\$7.0 million provided in the full-year 2014. 

The calculations of total and per share adjusted net income and adjusted operating income are shown in the appendix titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Americas, Europe and Africa (“AEA”) new orders increased from the sequential quarter, mainly due to two SURF awards, one in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (“GoM”) and one offshore Trinidad.  The Area’s revenue was primarily driven by high activity on PB Litoral.  The installation of the PB Litoral facilities was completed offshore Mexico with the installation of the 7200-ton main deck marking the first use of the ‘floatover’ method for installation in Mexico by the Company, which was successfully completed without incident. The final hookup, commissioning and start-up is ongoing and is expected to be complete during the first quarter of 2016. Material deliveries for Ayatsil ‘C’ have started to arrive in the Altamira fabrication yard and assembly activities for the jacket have commenced. During the fourth quarter the Company’s spoolbase facility in Gulfport, Mississippi was handed over to operations for the LLOG Otis pipelines. On the Exxon Julia project, McDermott’s North Ocean 102 (“NO 102”) vessel successfully executed the umbilical and power cable installation phase and the Derrick Barge 50 (“DB50”) completed the second phase of structure installations. The final phase of the Exxon Julia project is well progressed and the DB50 is scheduled to return to the field early in the first quarter of 2016 for the final installation work. 

Middle East (“MEA”) new orders decreased from the sequential quarter, due to the Aramco Lump Sum mega award in the third quarter 2015.  The Saudi Aramco Karan 45 project has progressed ahead of schedule and the Abu Ali cables project completed ahead of schedule, earning both project teams special commendations from the customer.  The Manifa Field Development project offshore installation scope was also successfully completed in the period. Execution of the lump sum project awarded under the second, recently executed Saudi Aramco Long Term Agreement (LTA II) is now proceeding according to schedule. Fabrication of the 12 Jackets remained on track with timely completion and load-out of three jackets ready for installation in the first quarter of 2016. Following the successful loadout and trans-spooling of the longest (54 miles) 115kV submarine composite cable in the area for the Marjan Power Systems project, installation is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2016. Notable achievements in safety were the Jebel Ali yard reaching 30 million man hours lost time incident (“LTI”) free earlier in 2015, and HSES performance levels remaining high through the fourth quarter with zero LTIs to report, both onshore and offshore.

Asia (“ASA”) new orders increased from the sequential quarter, primarily due to the Company’s re-entry into the deepwater, subsea market in India with the ONGC Vashishta award to a consortium with Larsen & Toubro (“L&T”) which is expected to provide the best in-market execution solution. In addition, subsequent to year-end we entered into a long-term, mutually exclusive agreement with L&T which will provide a strategic relationship to address significant offshore and deepwater opportunities in offshore India.  On our existing project, INPEX Ichthys, we achieved all of the agreed-upon milestones during the quarter with the project remaining on schedule.  In addition, the Company has completed the majority of the INPEX Ichthys project fabrication in the Company’s Batam yard.  The project’s HSE performance continues to be strong, achieving over 700 thousand man-hours in the fourth quarter without an LTI. The Company has successfully completed all of the offshore works on the complex Brunei Shell pipeline replacement project. The Derrick Barge 30 (“DB30”) completed 7.8 miles of the operationally challenging Corrosion Resistant Alloy (“CRA”) pipelaying including all the pre-commissioning work. The Emerald Sea completed laying, termination and testing of all subsea umbilicals (total 8.0 miles) and subsea cable (total 6.8 miles). All the marine vessel spreads were demobilized in December 2015. The project required over 2.5 million man-hours and involved approximately 2,800 people working offshore for the 2015 campaign. In the Batam yard, the Company has commenced fabrication of the Yamal LNG onshore modules weighing 22,000 tons. 

The DLV 2000 is scheduled for delivery early April with a naming ceremony planned in mid-April at Keppel’s Singmarine Shipyard in Singapore.  The vessel has secured scope as part of the current McDermott work schedule for over eighty days on the 2016 marine campaign on the INPEX Ichthys project.  In addition, the Company was recently awarded the Woodside Greater Western Flank Phase 2 transportation and installation project, on which the DLV 2000 will perform its first pipelay work.

Cost Structure Progress

McDermott Profitability Initiative (“MPI”) was substantially completed during the fourth quarter 2015, with the move from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and finalizing of sourcing initiatives due to be completed in the first half of 2016.  MPI achieved 2015 in-year cash savings of approximately \\$115 million, with future annual cash savings expected to be at least \\$150 million. 

In addition, the Company continued its efforts to proactively improve its cost structure by initiating the efficiency driven Additional Overhead Reduction (“AOR”) program during fourth quarter 2015.  AOR actions are expected to be substantially complete in the first quarter of 2016, and include personnel reductions affecting direct operating expense and SG&A.  Similar to MPI, the objective of AOR is to further address fixed costs while maintaining the capability and capacity potential of the Company.  The Company anticipates annualized cash savings of approximately \\$25 million, and restructuring costs of \\$5 million in 2016.

The Company’s restructuring costs for the fourth quarter 2015 were \\$8.7 million and are expected to be approximately \\$10 million for the full-year 2016 as a result of remaining MPI actions as well as the AOR program.  The Company has successfully amended its principal credit facility to allow for the add-back of post 2015 restructuring costs in the calculation of covenant EBITDA up to a maximum of \\$25 million.

Our full-year 2016 guidance is based on our current view of the business outlook; however, given the macro commodity environment we may see pressure from potential customer capital expenditure spending delays, stronger competitive pricing pressure given contraction in certain markets and lower utilization of our assets.  For now, McDermott will continue to concentrate on our highest value proposition opportunities, executing well our existing backlog, customer alignment, our asset utilization and cost/liquidity management.  The Company previously provided 2016 guidance in connection with our Investor Day held in November; however, the guidance given at that time was on a GAAP basis, and did not include savings and charges expected to be realized in connection with the Company’s AOR program.

Other Financial Information

Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 238.7 million and 284.1 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and 238.2 million and 237.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Common shares for the settlement of the common stock purchase contracts related to the Tangible Equity Units (“TEUs”) representing 40.9 million additional shares, as well as other potentially dilutive shares, were not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, as well as the year ended December 31, 2014, due to their anti-dilutive effect.   For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the TEUs and other dilutive shares were included in the fully diluted share count due to the Company’s positive net income position.  For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 and the quarter ended December 31, 2014 the TEUs and other dilutive shares were included in the fully diluted share count for adjusted earnings per share measures.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, the TEUs and other dilutive shares were not included in the fully diluted share count due to their anti-dilutive effect.

1Non-GAAP measures are comprised of the total and diluted per share amounts of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the Company and adjusted operating income, in each case excluding the impact of certain identified items. We believe that adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted operating income are useful measure for investors to review because they provide a consistent measure of the underlying results of our ongoing business. Furthermore, our management uses adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted operating income as a measure of the performance of our operations. However, Non-GAAP measures should not considered as substitutes for operating income, net income or other data prepared  and reported in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance  with GAAP.

2Restructuring charges are primarily associated with workforce reductions, facility closures, consultant fee, contract terminations and asset impairments.

3Non-cash actuarial loss (gain) on benefit plans represents mark-to-market adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of each respective year.

4Costs related to a legal settlement of \\$16.7 million were recorded during the third quarter of 2015.
