spk02: Thank you, Cindy. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our third quarter results conference call. I'm happy to be here with you this afternoon, and I hope that each of you and your families are continuing to stay healthy and safe. During today's call, we'll provide an update on the impact of Hurricane Ida, the progress we've made on our strategic priorities, including an update on the next phase of our business transformation, in-market opportunities and the status of our key projects, and wind down of the shipyard business. Wes will then discuss our quarter results in greater detail. We'll then open up the call for questions and conclude with some closing remarks. Before getting to our results, I want to first provide an update on the impact of Hurricane Ida and the status of our business restart. Hurricane Ida made landfall on August 29th, delivering winds of 150 miles per hour, just shy of being classified as a Category 5 storm. Our facility in Houma, Louisiana was in a direct path, and our facility and the surrounding communities suffered significant wind and rain damage. Almost a million residents in Louisiana lost power, and our facility in Houma and many of the local surrounding communities did not have power restored for almost a month after Ida made landfall. Gulf Island has a long history of conducting operations in South Louisiana and substantial experience managing through catastrophic weather events and their aftermath. I have referenced many times the resilience and dedication of our people, and I got to see this firsthand after the storm. I visited the community and our facility a few days after Ida made landfall and witnessed the destruction firsthand. I saw 100-year-old oak trees and a majority of the power lines down, and more tragically, complete loss of homes. The devastation was significant, but our employees were back to work as quickly as they were able, focusing on the cleanup and rebuild of our facility. I am grateful for their sacrifice and contribution. This was a devastating storm, but through the hard work and dedication of our employees, I am happy to report that we currently have over 90% of the pre-hurricane headcount back to work. and we're delivering on our commitments to our clients. As we will discuss shortly, despite the challenges, we were able to report another quarter of solid execution in our fabrication and services division, which highlights the strong foundation we are building in this business. In addition, we are also able to continue making meaningful progress on our strategic transformation, which I will now discuss. As I highlighted last quarter, we have made considerable progress on the first phase of our strategic plan, which included improving our risk profile, strengthening our liquidity, improving our resource utilization and project execution, and reducing our reliance on offshore oil and gas. We'll continue to build on these initiatives, but we have now shifted our focus to the next phase of our strategic plan, which is centered on generating predictable and profitable growth. We will accomplish this goal by focusing on the following additional initiatives. Pursuing new growth in markets, diversifying and growing our services business, further strengthening project execution, and expanding our skilled craft workforce. I will now provide an update on the progress we have made on these four key objectives over the last three months. First, in terms of our new growth in markets, The company is focusing its near-term business development efforts on higher growth in markets such as LNG and petrochemicals. New business activity is robust, and a number of large projects are moving toward final investment decisions over the next three to six months. In addition, we are beginning to see increased inquiries and bidding activity in hydrogen and renewable fuels related to rapidly growing energy transition initiatives. Given our capabilities and geographic location, we are strategically situated to pursue these market opportunities along the Gulf Coast, and we are excited about our prospects. Second, we have already seen our efforts in diversifying and expanding our services business pay off. We have expanded our customer base for our existing offshore services business with new crews serving new customers. In addition, we are making progress in our efforts to build relationships with the OEMs of specialized equipment readily used by our customers. We have already established a framework with an OEM to train our service professionals on their equipment. And while not yet significant, we will see revenue in the fourth quarter from this key partnership. We expect this initiative to gain momentum as our customers continue to evaluate ways to consolidate their contractor base and reduce their overall cost of operation. Third, Our Fabrication Services Division continues to make significant progress on their project execution, which was all the more impressive this quarter given the impacts of Hurricane Ida. The Division's projects continue to deliver better than their household estimates and exceeded my expectations for the quarter. Without the impacts of Hurricane Ida, which negatively impacted our utilization levels and productivity for much of September, our results for the division would have further exceeded expectations. We're focused on the continued strengthening of our project management processes and procedures, which will drive higher margins and improve new award win rates. Lastly, we're focused on finding ways to expand our skilled craft workforce. Similar to other industries that rely on skilled labor, we are faced with the challenges of attracting strong craft professionals and are continuing to look for creative ways to retain and to expand our skilled labor. Our existing workforce is incredibly loyal, and we are using the base of employees to attract new customers and employees. In addition, the expansion of our services business should also benefit our efforts to attract new craft labor. The services business is more predictable and provides the assurance of underpinning work providing more certainty for our skilled craft labor, which helps drive recruitment and retention. Moving on, I'd like to provide additional detail on activity we are seeing in our fabrication and services in markets. We are extremely encouraged by the trends in our targeted markets, as bidding activity has continued to gain momentum in recent months. There will be a significant number of large projects coming to market in the coming months and years, And given the scarcity of labor in our strategic positioning, we are excited about the opportunities this presents for Gulf Island. The LNG market continues to represent our most attractive near-term opportunity. As we have discussed before, there are a number of large LNG projects in Texas and in Louisiana that could provide attractive opportunities for the company. And we have recently seen a significant pickup in bidding activity. Given the scale of these projects, we are often bidding on numerous scopes to different contractors for the entire complex, providing us flexibility and multiple potential awards on these larger capital projects. We continue to be excited about the prospects for the LNG market, and we hope to have some good news to share in the coming quarters. While LNG and petrochemical represent our most attractive near-term opportunities for new awards, we believe the energy transition movement will provide a significant opportunity for growth in the coming years. Although given the rapidly evolving trends in these markets, the opportunities may not be as far off as they seemed just a few months ago. We are seeing bidding activity in sustainable energy and markets pick up, and we have started to engage the end users and licensors to demonstrate Golf Island's value proposition to their projects. Many of the customers see our ability to scale up and our proximity to project locations and nearby ports as opportunities where we bring value. Specifically, we are seeing activity and interest in hydrogen projects and other sustainable technologies such as carbon capture and renewable fuels. There have been recent announcements of large capital projects in Louisiana focused on these green initiatives, and we are well positioned to participate as these prospects further develop in our backyard. With continued robustness in the crude and natural gas markets, we're also starting to see capital spending being discussed by customers in our traditional markets. As such, we'll continue our business development efforts on our existing customer base, as well as expanding into adjacent end markets focused on customers who value our geographic location, key resources in our home or yard, and our skilled craft labor force. With respect to our services business, we are very encouraged with the early progress we have made in growing this business, which is a key part of our growth strategy given the more stable and predictable nature of this business. Given the strength in crude oil and gas prices, we have begun to see an increase in activity from our existing offshore customer base and are also seeing opportunities with new customers. However, Similar to the rest of our business, the biggest hurdle for success may be the availability of craft labor. We're working with local trade schools to ensure that we have a quality pipeline of the next generation craft professionals, along with investing opportunities to tap into other geographic markets and recruit seasoned craft professionals looking to capitalize on the anticipated near-term growth. I've mentioned scarcity of labor a couple of times, so I do want to be clear about how we are thinking about the challenges of labor availability and how we are incorporating this into our strategy and bidding on new projects. Large fabrication projects can often have durations of 18 to 24 months and are typically bid at a fixed price. As a result, future projects will likely be executed in an even more difficult labor environment. At the same time, we are fully aware that labor availability will be at a premium in the coming years as a significant number of projects will be coming to market, so we want to remain patient with our most critical asset, our people. This is all to say that we may lose some project opportunities in the near term, but we will maintain our discipline in pricing the labor risks in our estimates, make sure we receive an adequate return on our projects, and consider the opportunity costs of each project. We have worked hard to improve our project execution in recent years, and we will continue to adhere to the significant new policies and procedures we put in place that drove these improvements to ensure we remain disciplined during this important time in the company's transformation. Now turning to the Shipyard Division, our 70 vehicle ferry project for the Texas Department of Transportation was impacted by increased forecast cost and forecast liquidated damages, primarily associated with extension of schedule and associated duration related costs, including supervision and subcontracted services costs. The impacts were primarily due to lower than anticipated progress on the project due in part to COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida. We have submitted claims to our customers to extend Our project schedule and recover the increased forecast costs associated with the impacts of previous customer-directed changes and COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida. We're continuing to work with the customer to reach a favorable resolution. The ferry is currently scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. The continued delays and increased costs on Texas DOT are disappointing, but they remain manageable. As we move out of the construction phase and into outfitting and get closer to completing the final contract obligations, I'm confident we have the right team and plan to successfully drive this project to completion. With respect to our 240 vehicle ferry projects, our teams continue to make good progress. The second ferry is undergoing piping modifications directed by the customer to address the previously mentioned design challenges as we work toward her commissioning and delivery in December. We have seen positive progress on the construction of the first ferry and look to build on this progress to deliver her in the third quarter of 2022. As previously discussed, in July, we filed a lawsuit in North Carolina for a breach of contract based on the deficiencies in design in an attempt to recover the increased costs and extensions of schedule resulting from the design-related impacts. I feel we have a strong case and look forward to a favorable outcome for Gulf Island. Overall, I'm very pleased with the progress we have made on our strategic plan and how Gulf Island is positioned for the future. It is very early, and we're not prepared to provide a detailed outlook for 2022, but we are encouraged by what we are seeing in our markets. I believe we're in a very good position to take advantage of the improving market trends, which combined with the significant progress we have made on our internal initiatives should position the company for improved results in 2022. I will now turn the call over to Wes to discuss our quarterly results in greater detail.
spk00: Thanks, Richard, and good afternoon, everyone. I will discuss our consolidated results and then provide some additional details regarding our segment results. putting in context the factors mentioned by Richard and their impact on the quarter. I will then conclude with the discussion of our liquidity. Please note that unless otherwise specified, all financial information reference relates only to our continuing operations. Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $19.6 million, a 19% sequential decrease compared to the second quarter of 2021, and a 23% decline from the third quarter of 2020. with the year-over-year decrease primarily attributable to our shipyard division. Consolidated operating loss for the third quarter was $3.7 million, and EBITDA was a loss of $2.6 million, representing a positive contribution from our fabrication and services division that was offset by losses attributable to our retained shipyard operations. Specifically for the fabrication and services division, revenue for the third quarter 2021 was $17.3 million, a decrease of $952,000 compared to the third quarter 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of two large projects and lower revenue for our marine docking structures project, partially offset by higher small-scale fabrication and offshore services activity. Fabrication and services EBITDA for the third quarter was $1.4 million, despite the year-over-year revenue decline, with EBITDA benefiting from a favorable margin mix and strong project performance, including project improvements of $1.1 million on two projects, one of which is now complete. While project execution for the division was solid, these benefits were partially offset by low volume levels and the underutilization of the division's facilities and resources. Division's utilization for the third quarter was negatively impacted relative to the sequential quarter due to the temporary closure of our facilities for much of September due to Hurricane Ida. Despite the impacts of the storm, overall utilization for the third quarter was comparable to the prior year period, with higher offshore services activity being offset by lower fabrication activity. We expect improvements in utilization in the fourth quarter 2021 relative to the third quarter due to an anticipated rebound in activity following Hurricane Ida. However, the improvement will be modest, as low fabrication backlog and the typical seasonality impacting fourth quarter services activity will weigh on utilization levels. As in recent quarters, although the Division's overall utilization continues to be challenged, our cost reduction initiatives and consolidation efforts have enabled us to partially mitigate the impact of the low utilization rates, allowing us to generate year-over-year margin improvement despite lower revenue volume. We continue to look for additional opportunities to improve execution and reduce overhead costs to improve our operating leverage as volumes recover. Now turning to our shipyard division, revenue was 2.3 million for the third quarter and relates entirely to our three ferry projects. Operating loss for the quarter was 1.9 million and included net project charges of 1.3 million associated primarily with our 70 vehicle ferry project and vessel holding costs and legal fees of approximately 400,000 associated with our NPSB contract dispute. The third quarter also included charges of approximately 400,000 associated with deductibles and other costs related to damage caused by Hurricane Ida to our second 40-vehicle ferry project, and the MPSVs that are in our possession and certain bulkheads where the vessels were moored. For our corporate division, operating loss for the third quarter was $2.2 million and was impacted by costs to pursue initiatives to diversify and enhance our business and the temporary underutilization of our resources as we evaluate our resource requirements to support future operations. With respect to our liquidity, during the third quarter, we received forgiveness of $8.9 million of our PPP loan plus accrued interest and repaid the remaining balance. And accordingly, we ended the quarter with a cash balance of almost $74 million and no debt. At quarter end, we continue to have approximately $11 million of net liabilities attributable to our shipyard operations. We expect to satisfy most of these liabilities over the next nine months as we wind down our shipyard operations. Partially offsetting this anticipated use of cash for the shipyard wind down will be an additional $2.2 million of deferred transaction consideration due from Bollinger related to the shipyard transaction, of which $1.3 million was received in October, and the remainder is expected to be received in the first quarter of 2022. As it relates to Hurricane Ida and its future cash flow impacts, we continue to work with our insurance providers and advisors to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the storm and evaluate our insurance coverage amounts. Currently, we expect a future use of cash associated with deductibles and other costs related to damage caused to buildings and equipment and the previously mentioned vessels and bulkheads. These deductible amounts range from approximately $3 million to $4.5 million in the aggregate. Finally, turning to our outlook for the remainder of 2021, we continue to be encouraged by the progress of our strategic initiatives and are optimistic about new award opportunities given the current bidding environment. But in the near term, given our current low backlog and the uncertainties around the timing of new awards, we continue to anticipate sequentially lower fourth quarter revenue for our fabrication and services divisions. which combined with the continued near-term underutilization of our facilities and resources, will result in operating losses for the fourth quarter. However, we continue to be well-positioned to pursue our growth strategy, as we expect to exit the year with a cash balance of $60 to $65 million, which is consistent with our previous expectations. This concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, you may now open the line for questions.
spk06: Thank you. The question and answer session will be conducted electronically. If you would like to ask a question, please do so by pressing the star key followed by the digit 1 on your touchtone phone. If you're using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. We will proceed in the order that you signal us, and we'll take as many questions as time permits. And we'll go to our first question from JP Gagan of Global Value Investment Corporation.
spk04: Thank you, and good afternoon, gentlemen. It seems like the business is reaching an inflection point, and although that's not been borne out in your financial results yet, from some of the comments you made in your press release and your prepared remarks regarding your service arrangements and smaller fabrication projects, it seems like we're right on the precipice of that. As you reflect on how the business has developed over the past four to six quarters, What has really moved the needle?
spk02: Good afternoon, JP. I really think it's all about discipline. Knowing what we're bidding and having a plan on that execution plan and executing to our plan. I think our team has done a fantastic job of recognizing the things that we are estimating in terms of new awards and And they're executing to our plan. And so you've seen here quarter after quarter, the projects that we bid under my watch, they're executing, you know, to their plan and delivering better than the absolute estimate. So I'm really excited about the execution now. It's just a matter of bringing in bigger volume of new awards and continuing to execute.
spk04: You've talked at length about LNG and petrochemical projects on the Gulf Coast. It seemed from your prepared remarks that hydrogen and perhaps even wind power might be factoring in to your future expectations in a more expedient manner than previously thought. Can you characterize your bidding activities or, if not bidding activities, at least early customer engagement by type of end project generally? What do you mean by end project generally, JP? Are you most active in LNG or hydrogen or wind or whatever it be? Or what is kind of the breadth of your engagement currently look like?
spk02: Yeah, I would say the big immediate volume of work in the next 18 to 24 months that will be material and impactful for our business is going to be around LNG and petrochemicals. Just because of the sheer size of a project that those prospects are tied to. As far as the hydrogen and some of the sustainable energies that we're chasing, those are still further out. While they have made announcements in the news with regard to project development, They're still, in my opinion, far away from FID. So those prospects are probably more two to three years out. And we are engaging with engineering companies and licensors and developers on those prospects. So if I look at it from a kind of a chronological order, the LNG and petrochemicals are the near term, which will impact our business in the next 18 to 24 months. You know, the sustainable, more specifically hydrogen projects that we are chasing, those are probably 24 to 36 months out.
spk04: Okay. Of course, your geographic location and the scale of your facilities positions you well for competitively bidding LNG and PET chem projects. Do you think those same competitive advantages apply here? to other areas like hydrogen or wind that you might be looking at?
spk02: Yes. For example, we had an interesting customer conversation last week where basically this customer has a technology where they're smaller modules, what we call truckable or skittable modules in kind of our industry. And they've gone to a more private, smaller mom-and-pop fabricator The problem is that now they're starting to look at scale. That market has picked up so much that they're going to have to build a lot more of these. Well, the contractors that they went to can't provide that capacity. And so another way to say it is that we're now, because of the size of our asset, we have the ability to go after smaller modules, but a much larger volume, which gives these licensors and engineering companies some surety of inventory and schedule of production.
spk04: Got it. Thanks. Final question, and this is really on your cash balance or perhaps capital allocation in general. You talked about some of the near-term uses of cash and anticipate ending the year with $60 to $65 million. in cash. Of course, in a business like yours, some amount of that needs to be tied up for working capital, given the types of projects in which you engage. But can you more generally talk about use of cash in the medium to long term and capital allocation in general?
spk00: Sure, JP. So we will use some of that cash in 2022 to fund the deductibles associated with the hurricane Ida impacts. We're not anticipating much of that in the fourth quarter. I think most of that will come in 2022. So that would be a bit of it. Obviously, we've got to wind down the shipyard operations. And in my prepared remarks, I mentioned that that liability sets right around $11 million, or I guess $9 million net of the proceeds that we still do from Bollinger. And then beyond that, as we've mentioned on previous calls, We do have some limitations on what we can do with the cash. It can't be used because of our mortgage agreement. With our surety, it can't be used for dividends or buying back stock. But what it can be used for is to grow the business and invest in other opportunities, even inorganic opportunities to grow the business or invest in technology or other things to make us more efficient. That's our plan. That's, you know, we're looking for opportunities of best use for that cash and in the near term here. And in the long term, you know, kind of the same model will apply. Great.
spk08: Thanks. I appreciate the additional comments. Okay. Thanks, JP.
spk07: And we'll hear next from Tony Christ, Odyssey Investments. Tony, your line is open. Please go ahead. It looks like Tony has removed himself from the queue.
spk06: We'll go next to John Disher of Pinnacle.
spk01: Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon, John. Looks like you're making solid progress. I just wanted to circle back for a second to Ida. and make sure I understand the status there. You mentioned 90% of the headcount is back to work. Is all of the equipment functional? In other words, some serious water issues. Is power back on? In other words, are you back to being 100% operational from an equipment standpoint?
spk02: We're essentially 100% operational from an equipment standpoint, John. Luckily, we did not have severe flood damage in our facility. It was mostly wind. And so we do have some minor damage on certain equipment that we are having to consider repairing. But functionally, I would say we are close to 100%. up and running on the equipment. The infrastructure is a different story. As you can imagine, the buildings in of itself in terms of shells and structure, we are assessing those damages, working with insurance companies and prioritizing their repair or the degree of repair as we look at the workload coming forward. So right now, none of that is getting in the way of any of the commitments to our customers. And from a headcount standpoint, as we stated in our prepared remarks, the majority of the employees are back in the office working or in the shops working.
spk01: Okay, good. That's encouraging. Go ahead.
spk00: John, sorry. Just the way that's going to manifest itself as you think about the fourth quarter and going into 2022 from a P&L perspective, you know, I talked to the cash implications of that. As it relates to... The deductibles associated with the vessels and the bulkheads, those deductibles range from about a million to a million and a half, and we expensed about $400,000 of that this quarter. The rest of that, if we were to incur those deductibles, we would expense when we incur those. The other deductibles associated with the building and equipment that Richard just mentioned, those run $2 million to $3 million in the aggregate. And whether or not that manifests itself as an income statement item or capital item will largely depend on the nature of the capital. If we significantly extend the useful life of an asset, for example, that would be a capital item. If it's more akin to a typical maintenance or repair, then we'll expense it. So I just want to give some insights that we will have some ongoing impacts on our income statement related to this. But obviously, we view these as one-time items that we hope we won't see again here in the near term.
spk01: All right. All right. Let's hope so. Have you actually made claims to the insurance company yet?
spk00: Yes, sir. Yeah, we're working through that. As you can just imagine, with the devastation in the region, everyone's busy. Our adjusters are busy. So we've been working with them from day one. So it's just a process we're going through.
spk01: All right. Okay. So... It's not going to be resolved by year end, but most likely in Q1, do you think?
spk00: I think that's a reasonable estimation. That's what we would hope to do. We'll hope to have as much finality as we can by year end, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of that rolled over into the first quarter.
spk01: Right. Okay. Yeah, it would be helpful to have a range of estimates at year end that we can use going forward if possible. That's all I have.
spk08: Thanks. Thanks, John.
spk07: And we'll go to Tony Christ with Odyssey Investments.
spk03: Hello. Hello, fellas. Great job with the hurricane and everything. Richard, I wanted to know if you can give any more color regarding our bids, the contracts we're bidding for. In particular, like the size of them. I think in a previous conversation, you said you're striving to get about a 10% gross margin. And anything else you can, I know you can't give too much because they're competitive and others are bidding them too. But I guess just the size and the number of contracts that we have in the mill would be helpful.
spk02: Yeah, thanks for that, Tony. So what I would like to clarify is that when Tony asks, I guess you're asking, Tony, more about our fabrication business, the larger module. Well, one thing that I will note is our services business, which gets underserved, I guess, in terms of the Q&A, because it just doesn't have the large volume. It's doing really well. I mean, we We're at a point where we could use more craft. And I know our HR team's listening. They've got the heavy burden of going and looking for craft laborers to service all these accounts that need our expertise. And so that business in 22 and 23 at what the oil price is today in the Gulf of Mexico is a growth trend. growth engine. We are highly bullish on that services business, albeit top line in terms of volume. It's slower than fabrication. That is a business that we will see strong 2020-23 performance. On the larger fabrication, just to give you some perspective, and as we answered for JB, really, The next 18 to 24 months is going to be impacted by LNG and petrochemical. And just to give you some context, as you guys have seen that follow this market, there's a lot of large developers working on offtake agreements with LNG, and they are moving toward FID. And I believe that if not one or two of these projects are going to move to FID, hopefully by the end of the year or the first quarter. On an LNG project, just to give you some frame of reference, we're talking about, you know, just from a module standpoint, 50,000 tons, just ballpark, number of modules. Our capacity on an annualized basis is only 10,000. And so it really does give you some context. One large LNG project can satisfy the capacity of me and three other competitors, you know, ballpark. And we're only talking about modules that are on the process side. They're structural steel associated with mooring, civil structures, and then also highly technical process modules from specialty contractors. So really what I'm trying to convey is that there is going to be, if any of these large LNG projects move forward, which I expect them to do here in a very short fashion, there's going to be ample opportunity for Gulf Island to get their fair share.
spk03: And would that represent just in dollars 100, 200 million? Or if you can give some rough idea, I'm not going to hold anyone to anything.
spk02: I know you said they're very large. Yeah, top line, they're in that $50 to $100 million contract value, top line value.
spk03: Great. Well, great. Thank you. Thank you so much. Keep it up.
spk08: Thank you.
spk03: Thank you, Tony. Yep.
spk08: Bye.
spk06: And so this concludes today's questions and answers session. At this time, I would like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Hung for any additional comments.
spk02: Thank you. In closing, I want to thank our customers and shareholders for their continued support as well as recognize our employees who continue to demonstrate a commitment to Gulf Island success. I saw this firsthand this quarter, and I am excited about our future with such a dedicated team. As in markets continue to improve, I'm confident that we will win our fair share of project opportunities. For those on the call, thanks again for your interest. I look forward to speaking with you on our fourth quarter results conference call and updating you on our progress. Be safe and take care.
spk06: And this concludes today's Gulf Island call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
