SEACOR HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. without its consolidated subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning given those terms in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered certified public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2019, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, its comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, its changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”) using a modified prospective approach and implemented internal controls and systems to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption. The Company elected the available practical expedients permitted under the guidance including the option to not separate lease and nonlease components in calculating the right-of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities and to not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases (leases that have a duration of twelve months or less at lease inception). Generally, it was not possible for the Company to determine the interest rate implicit in each of its operating leases and therefore used its incremental borrowing rate in calculating operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company assigned its leases to portfolios based on the remaining term at the time of adoption and applied a single rate to each portfolio of leases as the result was not materially different than using a specific discount rate for each individual lease. The Company included renewal options that were reasonably certain of being exercised in determining the lease term. Upon adoption, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $174.6 million for certain of its equipment, office and land leases (see Note 5). In addition, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $25.4 million, net of tax, to the opening balance of retained earnings primarily for previously deferred gains related to sale leaseback transactions.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intercompany asset sales other than inventory until the transferred assets are sold to a third party or recovered through use. As a result of the adoption of the standard, the deferred tax charges previously recognized from those sales resulted in a decrease in deferred tax assets and a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $2.5 million in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of changes in equity as of January 1, 2018.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers control of the promised goods or services to its customers. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Ocean Services primarily earns revenues from voyage charters, contracts of affreightment, tariff based port and infrastructure services, unit freight logistics services, and technical ship management agreements with vessel owners (see Note 12). Ocean Services transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Voyage charters are contracts to carry cargoes on a single voyage basis for a predetermined price, regardless of time to complete. Contracts of affreightment are contracts for cargoes that are committed on a multi-voyage basis for various periods of time, with minimum and maximum cargo tonnages specified over the period at a fixed or escalating rate per ton. Tariff based port and infrastructure services typically include operating harbor tugs alongside oceangoing vessels to escort them to their berth, assisting with the docking and undocking of these oceangoing vessels and escorting them back out to sea. They are contracted using prevailing port tariff terms on a per-use basis. In the unit freight logistics trade, transportation services typically include transporting shipping containers, rail cars, project cargoes, automobiles and U.S. military vehicles and are generally contracted

6


on a per unit basis for the specified cargo and destination, typically in accordance with a publicly available tariff rate or based on a negotiated rate when moving larger volumes over an extended period. Managed services include technical ship management agreements whereby Ocean Services provides technical ship management services to third-party customers for a predetermined price over a specified period of time, typically a year or more.
Inland Services primarily earns revenues from contracts of affreightment, terminal operations, fleeting operations and repair and maintenance services (see Note 12). Inland Services transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Contracts of affreightment are contracts whereby customers are charged an established rate per ton to transport cargo from point-to-point. Terminal operations includes tank farms and dry bulk and container handling facilities that are marketed under contractual rates and terms driven by throughput volume. Fleeting operations includes fleeting services whereby barges are held in fleeting areas for an agreed-upon day rate and shifting services whereby harbor boats are used to pick up and drop off barges to assist in assembling tows and to move barges to and from the dock for loading and unloading at predetermined per-shift fees. Other operations primarily include a machine shop specializing in towboat and barge cleaning, repair and maintenance services that are charged on an hourly or a fixed fee basis depending on the scope and nature of the work.
Witt O’Brien’s primarily earns revenues from time and material and retainer contracts (see Note 12). Witt O’Brien’s transfers control of the service to the customer and satisfies its performance obligation over the term of the contract, and therefore recognizes revenue over the term of the contract while related costs are expensed as incurred. Time and material contracts primarily relate to emergency response, debris management or consulting services that Witt O’Brien’s performs for a predetermined fee. Retainer contracts, which are nearly all with vessel services operators and oil companies, are contracted based on agreed-upon rates.
The Company’s Other business segment includes CLEANCOR Energy Solutions LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Cleancor”), which primarily earns revenues from the sale of liquefied natural gas (see Note 12). Under these arrangements, control of the goods are transferred to the customer and performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery while any related costs are expensed as incurred.
Contract liabilities from contracts with customers arise when the Company has received consideration prior to performance and are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s contract liability activity for the three months ended March 31 was as follows (in thousands):
 
2019
Balance at beginning of period
$
968

Contract liabilities arising during the period
7,351

Revenue recognized upon completion of performance obligations during the period
(408
)
Balance at end of period
$
7,911

Lease Revenues. The Company’s lease revenues are primarily from time charters, bareboat charters and non-vessel rental arrangements. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. The lease terms are included in the charter and rental arrangements, and the determination of whether those arrangements contain a lease generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments and are recognized ratably over the lease term as services are provided, typically on a per day basis.
Under a time charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel. The non-lease components included in time charter rates are typically crewing, maintenance and insurance for the vessel over the term of the lease. Under a bareboat charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer for a set term and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and risks of operation. Under non-vessel rental arrangements, the Company provides non-vessel property or equipment to a customer for a set term and the customer assumes responsibility for all operating expenses and risks of operation. There are no non-lease components for bareboat charters and non-vessel rental arrangements.
Lease revenues are generated from owned equipment as well as equipment that is leased-in from other equipment owners or financial institutions. Lease revenues from equipment that is leased-in are included in sublease income for the Company’s lessee disclosures (see Note 5). The Company’s leases generally do not provide an option for customers to purchase the leased equipment and lessees do not provide residual value guarantees. The Company expects to derive significant benefits from its equipment following the end of the lease terms.
Property and Equipment. Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets

7


that have already exceeded their useful life as set forth in the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.
As of March 31, 2019, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Petroleum and chemical carriers - U.S.-flag
25
Bulk carriers - U.S.-flag
25
Harbor and offshore tugs
25
Ocean liquid tank barges
25
Short-sea container/RORO(1) vessels
20
Inland river dry-cargo and specialty barges

Roll On/Roll Off.
Equipment maintenance and repair costs including the costs of routine overhauls, dry-dockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s construction in progress totaling $9.6 million primarily consisted of the construction of and upgrades to inland river towboats and the construction of other Inland Services equipment, and is included in historical cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the amount of capitalized interest was not material.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying value and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective and actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets held for use.
Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 12.4% was primarily due to foreign sourced income not subject to U.S. tax, taxes not provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests and income subject to tonnage tax, partially offset by foreign taxes not creditable against U.S. income tax (see Note 6).

Deferred Gains. The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies, and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share of SEACOR is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested, common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options and common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable

9


information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards, which simplified wording and removed step two of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform step two of the goodwill test. The new standard is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value includes the embedded conversion options on the Company’s 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes and 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and notes receivable from third parties was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

9. MULTI-EMPLOYER AND DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
AMOPP. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company received notification from the AMOPP that the Company’s withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2018 would have been $28.1 million based on an actuarial valuation performed as of that date. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company committed to purchase additional equipment for $1.5 million.
During 2012, the Company sold National Response Corporation (“NRC”), NRC Environmental Services Inc., SEACOR Response Ltd., and certain other subsidiaries to J.F. Lehman & Company, a private equity firm (the “SES Business Transaction”).
On December 15, 2010, O’Brien’s Response Management L.L.C. (“ORM”) and NRC were named as defendants in one of the several “master complaints” filed in the overall multi-district litigation relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico (the “DWH Response), which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “MDL”). The “B3” master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserted various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally and the use of dispersants specifically. Both prior to and following the filing of the aforementioned “B3” master complaint, individual civil actions naming the Company, ORM, and/or NRC alleging B3 exposure-based injuries and/or damages were consolidated with the MDL and stayed pursuant to court order. On February 16, 2016, all but eleven “B3” claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed with prejudice (the “B3 Dismissal Order”). On August 2, 2016, the Court granted an omnibus motion for summary judgment as it concerns ORM and NRC in its entirety, dismissing the remaining eleven plaintiffs’ claims against ORM and NRC with prejudice (the “Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order”). The deadline to appeal both of these orders has expired. At present, there is only one remaining claim. On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al., No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.) (the “Fitzgerald Action”), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. While the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action’s claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed by virtue of the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, the claim as against the Company remains stayed. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, to the extent it remains viable, but believes it is without merit and does not expect that it will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the “B3” master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Various contribution and indemnity cross-claims and counterclaims involving ORM and NRC were subsequently filed. The Company believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting therefrom has been reduced as a result of the various developments in the MDL, including the B3 Dismissal Order and Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and Production Inc. (“BPXP”) and BP America Production Company (“BP America,” and with BPXP, “BP”) and the Plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, Plaintiffs’ economic loss and property damage claims and clean-up related claims against BP. The Company, ORM, and NRC had no involvement in negotiating or agreeing to the terms of either settlement, nor are they parties or signatories thereto. The BP settlement pertaining to personal injury claims (the “Medical Settlement”) purported to resolve the “B3” claims asserted against BP and also established a right for class members to pursue individual claims against BP (but not ORM or NRC) for “later-manifested physical conditions,” defined in the Medical Settlement to be physical conditions that were “first diagnosed” after April 16, 2012 and which are claimed to have resulted from exposure during the DWH Response. The back-end litigation-option (“BELO”) provision of the Medical Settlement has specifically-delineated procedures and limitations, should any “B3” class member seek to invoke their BELO right. For example, there are limitations on the claims and defenses that can be asserted, as well as on the issues, elements, and proofs that may be litigated at any trial and the potential recovery for any Plaintiff. Notwithstanding that the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed on the Medical Settlement’s release as to claims asserted by Plaintiffs, the Medical Settlement still permits BP to seek indemnity from any party, to the extent BP has a valid indemnity right. The Medical Settlement was approved by the Court on January 11, 2013 and made effective on February 12, 2014. As of mid-April 2019, BP has tendered approximately 2,250 claims pursued pursuant to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision for indemnity to ORM and approximately 210 such claims to NRC. ORM and NRC have rejected all of BP’s indemnity demands relating to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision and on February 14, 2019 commenced a legal action against BPXP and BP America with respect to same. That action, captioned O’Brien’s Response Management, L.L.C. et al. v. BP Exploration & Production Inc. et al., Case No. 2:19-CV-01418-CJB-JCW (E.D. La.) (the “Declaratory Judgment Action”), seeks declaratory relief that ORM and NRC owe BP no indemnity with respect to the exposure-based claims expressly contemplated by the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision, nor any contribution, in light of BP’s own actions and conduct over the past nine years (including its complete failure to even seek indemnity) and the resultant prejudice to ORM and NRC; that any indemnity or contribution rights BP may have once had with respect to these personal injury and exposure claims were extinguished once the Medical Settlement was approved by the MDL Court in 2013; and that the immunity already afforded to ORM and NRC via the B3 Dismissal Order and the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order operates to bar any indemnity or contribution claims against them by BP.  BP’s responsive pleading to the Complaint in the Declaratory Judgment Action is due on May 7, 2019.

15


The Court has also ordered the parties to participate in early mediation per BP’s request. Mediation is schedule for June 21, 2019 and the parties are in the process of exchanging information in advance of those proceedings.
BP has also similarly recently tendered personal injury claims to ORM and NRC that are being pursued by Plaintiffs who opted out of the Medical Settlement and who are thus proceeding with their “B3” claims in their ordinary course (as opposed to pursuant to the Medical Settlement’s BELO provision). Generally speaking, the Company, ORM, and NRC believe that BP’s indemnity demands with respect to any “B3” claims, including those involving Medical Settlement class members invoking BELO rights and those involving Medical Settlement opt-out Plaintiffs, are untimely and improper, and intend to vigorously defend their interests. Moreover, ORM has contractual indemnity coverage for the above-referenced claims through its separate agreements with sub-contractors that worked for ORM during the DWH Response and have preserved their rights in that regard while the Declaratory Judgment Action is pending. Overall, however, the Company believes that both of BP’s settlements have reduced the potential exposure in connection with the various cases relating to the DWH Response. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims, but does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it may agree to indemnify its counterparty to an agreement. If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement. Indemnification agreements generally, but not always, are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for work performed in connection with the DWH Response. Pursuant to the agreement governing the sale, the Company’s potential liability to the purchaser may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction. The Company is currently indemnified under contractual agreements with BP for the potential “B3” liabilities relating to the DWH Response; this indemnification is unrelated to, and thus not impacted by, the indemnification BP has demanded and discussed above.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss is as previously defined in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accounting standards also require companies to disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into categories to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables summarize the operating results, capital expenditures assets and disaggregated revenues of the Company’s reportable segments.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters.

Includes MSP revenues of $3.1 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $6.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from bulk transportation services were $3.7 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from petroleum and chemical transportation were $2.0 million lower primarily due to the return of one previously leased-in U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and the sale of another U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Prior Year Quarter. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the time charter rate for one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and a change in contract status from voyage charter to time charter in the fourth quarter of 2018 for another U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier.
Operating revenues from dry bulk transportation were $1.7 million lower primarily due to out-of-service time for repairs of one U.S.-flag bulk carrier.
Operating revenues from port and infrastructure services were $2.9 million higher primarily due to an increase in harbor towing tariff revenues primarily due to higher port traffic.
Operating revenues from logistics services were $7.6 million higher primarily due to an increase in military and commercial cargo activity and an increase in unit freight shipping demand.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $4.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the regulatory dry-docking of one PCTC and one short-sea container/RORO vessel, higher voyage costs for PCTCs and higher leased-in equipment costs for harbor tugs associated with the increased revenues. These increases were partially offset by the return of one leased-in U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter, the sale of one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Prior Year Quarter and lower dry-docking activity for U.S.-flag bulk carriers.
Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $0.4 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower legal and professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the U.S.-flag bulk carriers being fully depreciated during 2018.

23


Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier, one U.S.-flag harbor tug and other equipment for net proceeds of $5.0 million and gains of $1.9 million.
Operating Income. Excluding gains on asset dispositions, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 17% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 13% in the Prior Year Quarter. The improvement was primarily due to an increase in the time charter rate for one U.S.-flag petroleum and chemical carrier in the Current Year Quarter and higher revenues for PCTCs, partially offset by higher regulatory dry-docking costs.

Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 includes $20.2 million and $15.4 million, respectively, attributable to third-party barge owners participating in dry-cargo barge pools managed by the Company.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $9.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenues from bulk transportation services were $9.4 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from the dry-cargo barge pools were $8.9 million higher primarily due to higher freight rates and more demurrage and storage revenues as a consequence of difficult operating conditions on the U.S. inland waterways resulting from ice and high water. In addition, the dry-cargo barge pools increased the number of barges chartered out to third parties that were used to move frac sand. Operating revenues from boat, specialty barge and other operations were $0.7 million higher primarily due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
Operating revenues from port and infrastructure services were $0.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from terminal operations were $0.4 million lower primarily due to the expiration of a long-term liquid terminal contract during the third quarter of 2018.
Operating revenues from logistics services were $0.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to an increase in container movements.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $6.1 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Barge logistics expenses were $0.5 million lower primarily due to lower towing and switching costs as a consequence of poor operating conditions on the U.S. Inland Waterways. Repairs and maintenance costs were $0.3 million lower primarily due to fewer unscheduled repairs in the Current Year Quarter. Insurance and loss reserves were $0.4 million higher primarily due to higher insurance claims deductibles accrued in the Current Year Quarter. Leased-in equipment expense was $1.7 million higher primarily due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. Other operating expenses were $0.8 million higher primarily due to increased container movements.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $0.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter as a result of certain liquid terminal assets being fully depreciated during 2018.
Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.3 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold 32 dry-cargo barges, two specialty barges and other equipment for net proceeds of $10.8 million and gains of $4.6 million, all of which were recognized currently. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.5 million.
Operating Income. Excluding gains on asset dispositions, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 3% in the Current Year Quarter compared with operating loss as a percentage of operating revenues of 3% in the Prior Year Quarter. The improvement was primarily due to higher earnings from the dry-cargo barge pools.

26


Foreign currency gains, net. During the Current Year Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, foreign currency gains were primarily due to a strengthening of the Colombian peso in relation to the U.S. dollar underlying certain of the Company’s intercompany lease obligations.

The Company may use its liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for treasury, repurchase its outstanding notes or make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, cash flows from operations and availability under the SEACOR Revolving Credit Facility. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.

In addition, as of March 31, 2019, the Company guaranteed payments on behalf of SEACOR Marine totaling $36.6 million, under certain sale-leaseback transactions, equipment financing and multi-employer pension obligations.

The Company earns a fee from SEACOR Marine of 0.5% per annum on the amount of the obligations under these guarantees.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In support of the Company’s capital expenditure program and debt service requirements, the Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, cash generated from operating activities, funding available under the SEACOR Revolving Credit Facility and existing subsidiary financing arrangements as well as access to the credit and capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. The Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. The Company’s sources of liquidity may be impacted by the general condition of the markets in which it operates and the broader economy as a whole, which may limit its access to the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There has been no material change in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the Current Year Quarter. In addition, the Company has issued letters of credit or guaranteed the payments of amounts owed under certain sale-leaseback transactions, equipment financing and multi-employer pension obligations on behalf of SEACOR Marine.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Year Quarter.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2019. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the addition of certain controls in connection with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard Board Topic 842, Leases, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
