MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We made critical headway in our strategic transformation in recent months with the settlement of the MPSV litigation and progress towards the completion of the shipyard wind down," said Richard Heo, Gulf Island's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The resolution of the MPSV litigation is a positive outcome for all of our stakeholders as it eliminates ongoing legal and vessel holding costs, removes the risk of a potential adverse outcome and avoids a potential appeals process which could have been long and costly. We have significantly improved the risk profile of Gulf Island, which was a key initiative of the first phase of our strategic transformation, and we are excited to focus all of our efforts on pursuing profitable growth for our remaining business going forward."

"Our third quarter results once again highlight the stable and profitable baseline business we have established through the expansion of our Services Division and growth in our small-scale fabrication business," continued Heo. "Our Services Division continued its strong momentum, with operating income growing almost 8% year-over-year, and our small-scale fabrication business generated another steady quarter of results. The bidding environment for large projects continues to be favorable and we are pursuing several attractive opportunities, which we hope will result in a large fabrication project award in the near-term."

"We generated strong operating results during the third quarter and improved our working capital position, resulting in a quarter-end cash balance of almost $42 million," stated Westley Stockton, Gulf Island's Chief Financial Officer. "While the resolution of our MPSV litigation will result in a $20 million obligation, our annual payments extend over 15 years at a fixed interest rate of 3.0%, providing for a long-term obligation with an estimated present value of less than $13 million. Accordingly, we maintain a strong financial position following the settlement that enables us to pursue our growth objectives, which include attractive organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Based on our expectations of strong operating results for the fourth quarter 2023 and additional improvements in working capital, we expect to end 2023 with a cash balance of approximately $45 million."

"This is a pivotal time in the history of Gulf Island, and we are extremely excited by our strategic positioning and the opportunities that lie ahead for the Company," noted Heo. "We have removed the significant overhangs and distractions from our business, our execution and operations are strong, our end markets are favorable and we are in a solid financial position. We look forward to finishing the year on a strong note and anticipate fourth quarter operating results for both Fabrication and Services to improve relative to the third quarter 2023. We are optimistic that 2024 will be an even stronger year for Gulf Island," concluded Heo.

RESOLUTION OF MPSV LITIGATION

As previously disclosed, on October 4, 2023, the Company's lawsuit relating to the construction of two multi-purpose supply vessels ("MPSV Litigation") was dismissed in full with prejudice at the request of the parties to the litigation. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with the issuer (the "Surety") of the performance bonds for the MPSV construction contracts, pursuant to which the Surety released the Company from all of its obligations under the performance bonds and the associated general indemnity agreements related to the performance bonds, and the Company agreed to release possession of the MPSVs to the Surety. Further, the Company entered into a promissory note ("Note Agreement") payable to the Surety in the principal amount of $20.0 million. The Note Agreement bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum commencing on January 1, 2024, with principal and interest payable in 15 equal annual installments of approximately $1.7 million, beginning on December 31, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2038. The Company and the Surety have agreed to the form of all documents necessary to effectuate the terms of the Agreement and the Note Agreement, which are in the process of being executed. As a result of the resolution of the MPSV Litigation, during the third quarter 2023, the Company's Shipyard Division recorded a charge of $32.5 million, consisting of a non-cash charge of $12.5 million associated with the write-off of a noncurrent net contract asset related to the MPSV construction contracts, and a charge of $20.0 million associated with recording a liability resulting from the Note Agreement. Because the Note Agreement was entered into subsequent to September 30, 2023, the liability has been reflected as a noncurrent contract liability at September 30, 2023, and will be reclassified as long-term debt in the fourth quarter 2023. The estimated present value of the Note Agreement amount is $12.6 million based on an estimated market rate of interest. The charge was reflected as a reduction to previously recognized revenue on the MPSV construction contracts, resulting in a negative revenue amount for the Shipyard Division for the third quarter 2023.

STRATEGIC UPDATE

During the third quarter, Gulf Island continued to execute on the second phase of its strategic transformation, which is focused on generating stable, profitable growth based on pursuing new growth end markets, growing and diversifying its services business, further strengthening project execution, and expanding its skilled workforce, while continuing to pursue opportunities in its traditional offshore markets. Some of the key highlights during the third quarter 2023 are as follows:

Pursue traditional offshore markets – Bidding activity for both services and fabrication projects remains active in the Gulf of Mexico, driven by stable and relatively higher oil prices and healthy customer balance sheets.

Pursue new growth end markets – Gulf Island has a strong foundation to pursue new growth opportunities in its core Gulf Coast region, primarily in the LNG, petrochemical, and energy transition markets, and bidding activity on large fabrication project opportunities remains active, driven by strong industry fundamentals combined with limited industry capacity.

Grow and diversify services business – Gulf Island continues to expand its Services business with third quarter revenues growing compared to the prior year, driven by the contribution of Spark Safety, the Services Division's welding enclosures business line.

Further strengthen project execution and maintain bidding discipline – Project execution and bidding discipline remain a key priority given inflationary pressures and challenges with the availability of skilled labor. The recent margin improvement in Services and Fabrication demonstrates the Company's strong project execution and focus on maintaining discipline in pursuing projects that provide adequate risk-adjusted returns.

Expand skilled workforce – A strong skilled workforce is critical to success in the services and fabrication markets, particularly given the current competitive industry-wide labor environment. Gulf Island has successfully maintained its skilled labor headcount in Services and has proven its ability to ramp up headcount in Fabrication to support new project awards, which places the Company in a strong position to continue to grow the business. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its skilled labor headcount given the favorable demand trends, including strategic acquisitions to increase craft labor headcount.

SEGMENT RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2023

Services Segment – Revenue for the third quarter 2023 was $23.0 million, an increase of 1.8% compared to the third quarter 2022, due primarily to incremental revenue associated with the division's new Spark Safety business line. Revenues for the third quarter 2023 were lower than the second quarter 2023 due to the timing of project activity.

New project awards were $22.8 million for the third quarter 2023, representing a 3.0% year-over-year increase, and backlog totaled $0.9 million at September 30, 2023. The new award growth was driven primarily by the Spark Safety business line. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards and backlog.

Operating income was $2.6 million for the third quarter 2023, compared to $2.4 million for the third quarter 2022. EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 was $3.1 million (or 13.4% of revenue), versus $2.8 million (or 12.3% of revenue) for the prior year period. The improved operating results for 2023 compared to 2022 were the result of higher revenue and a more favorable project margin mix, including the benefit of the division's Spark Safety business line. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Services Division operating income to EBITDA.

Fabrication Segment – Revenue for the third quarter 2023 was $15.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to the third quarter 2022, due primarily to lower revenue for the division's large fabrication contract (that was cancelled in July 2023), offset partially by higher small-scale fabrication activity.

New project awards were $16.6 million for the third quarter 2023, representing an 85.8% year-over-year decrease, and backlog totaled $11.5 million at September 30, 2023. New awards for the third quarter 2023 were related to small-scale fabrication work. The prior year period included a new award associated with a large fabrication contract for an offshore project (that was cancelled in July 2023). See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards and backlog.

Operating income was $0.9 million for the third quarter 2023, compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 was $1.4 million, versus $1.6 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 and 2022 exclude gains of $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. The decrease in operating results for 2023 compared to 2022 (excluding the Hurricane Ida impacts) was due to an increase in the under-recovery of overhead costs associated with lower utilization of facilities and resources resulting from the cancellation of the division's large fabrication contract in July 2023, offset partially by a more favorable project margin mix. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Fabrication Division operating income to adjusted EBITDA.

Shipyard Segment – Revenue for the third quarter 2023 was negative $32.7 million due primarily to the reversal of previously recognized revenue resulting from the resolution of the Company's MPSV Litigation (discussed above). Excluding the impacts of the revenue reversal, revenue for the third quarter 2023 and 2022 related entirely to the division's seventy-vehicle ferry and forty-vehicle ferry projects.

Operating loss was $35.1 million for the third quarter 2023, compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million for the third quarter 2022. Operating results for the third quarter 2023 included charges of $32.5 million associated with the aforementioned revenue reversal associated with the Company's previous MPSV Litigation, $1.5 million associated with the division's seventy-vehicle ferry project and remaining forty-vehicle ferry project, and $0.1 million associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. Operating results for the third quarter 2023 and 2022 also included vessel holding costs and legal and advisory fees of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, associated with the Company's previous MPSV Litigation.

Corporate Segment – Operating loss was $2.0 million for the third quarter 2023, compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million for the third quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2023 was a loss of $1.9 million, versus a loss of $1.9 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2022 excludes a non-cash charge of $0.5 million associated with the partial impairment of the underlying lease asset for the Company's corporate office, resulting from a sublease arrangement with a third-party.

Segment Descriptions – The Company's divisions represent its reportable segments which are "Services", "Fabrication", "Shipyard" and "Corporate". The Services Segment includes offshore and onshore services work performed at customer facilities, including offshore platforms. The Fabrication Segment includes all fabrication work performed on-site at the Company's facilities, including pull-through fabrication work for the Services Segment. The Shipyard Segment includes two ferries under construction that are nearing completion and charges, vessel holding costs and legal fees associated with the Company's previous MPSV Litigation (discussed above). The Company intends to wind down its Shipyard Segment operations by the fourth quarter 2023. The Corporate Segment includes costs that are not directly related to the Company's operating segments, including the costs of being a publicly traded company.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash and short-term investments balance at September 30, 2023 was $41.8 million, including $1.2 million of restricted cash associated with outstanding letters of credit. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a noncurrent contract liability of $20.0 million associated with the resolution of its MPSV Litigation, which will be reclassified as long-term debt in the fourth quarter 2023. See "Resolution of MPSV Litigation" above for discussion of the noncurrent contract liability and reclassification of such liability as long-term debt.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue, new project awards and backlog. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's operating results excluding the non-cash impacts of depreciation and amortization. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's EBITDA adjusted to remove certain nonrecurring items (including the impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida and certain non-cash impairment charges) and the operating results of the Company's Shipyard Division (including the impact of certain nonrecurring items related to the resolution of the MPSV Litigation), which the Company intends to wind down by the fourth quarter 2023. The Company believes adjusted revenue is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's revenue adjusted to remove revenue for the Company's Shipyard Division (including the impact of certain nonrecurring items related to the resolution of the MPSV Litigation), which the Company intends to wind down by the fourth quarter 2023. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted revenue to the most comparable GAAP measure are presented under "Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Results of Operations by Segment" below.

The Company believes new project awards and backlog are useful supplemental measures as they represent work that the Company is obligated to perform under its current contracts. New project awards represent the expected revenue value of contract commitments received during a given period, including scope growth on existing contract commitments. Backlog represents the unrecognized revenue value of new project awards, and at September 30, 2023, was consistent with the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts as determined under GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be replacements or alternatives to GAAP measures, and investors are urged to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company may present or calculate non-GAAP measures differently from other companies.
