(1) | INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented herein have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at the dates and for the periods indicated as required by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S‑X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the respective full years. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tidewater Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We use the equity method to account for equity investments over which we exercise significant influence but do not exercise control and are not the primary beneficiary. Unless otherwise specified, all per share information included in this document is on a diluted earnings per share basis.

On November 15, 2018 (the Merger Date), we completed our business combination with GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (GulfMark) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of the Merger dated July 15, 2018. GulfMark’s balances and results are included in our consolidated financial statements and disclosures beginning on the Merger Date. Therefore, our balances and results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 include GulfMark’s operations while our balances and results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 do not include GulfMark’s operations.

(2) | ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of January 1, 2019. We adopted this guidance retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. We applied the practical expedient available in this guidance, which allows us not to restate prior year balances. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right of use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 of approximately $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The adoption of the new standard did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings. The standard did not impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. We elected not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing lease and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases. Refer to Note (4) for further details.

As a lessor our recognition of vessel and other operating revenues remains consistent with previous guidance under Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In July 2018, the FASB issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Leases – Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11). ASU 2018-11 provides a practical expedient, which allows lessors to combine the lease component with the related non-lease component if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the lease and non-lease component and if the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The single combined component is accounted for under the leasing standard if the lease component is the predominant component and is accounted for under ASC 606 if the non-lease component is the predominant component. We elected this practical expedient to combine our lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets and expect to account for the combined component under ASC 606 for revenue contracts qualifying for this practical expedient because we have concluded that the non-lease component is the predominant component in our current revenue contracts. The lease components are the vessels leased to our customers. The non-lease components consist of the services provided by the crews manning the vessels. These initial conclusions will continue to be assessed on an ongoing basis for future revenue contracts with customers.

(3) | REVENUE RECOGNITION

Refer to Note (13) for the amount of revenue by segment and in total for the worldwide fleet.

Contract Balances

At March 31, 2019, we had $2.1 million of deferred mobilization costs included within other current assets and $0.3 million of deferred mobilization revenue included within other current liabilities.

(4) | LEASES

We have operating leases primarily for office space, temporary residences, automobiles and office equipment. Contracts containing assets that we benefit from and control are recognized on our balance sheet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We combine the lease and non-lease components for all of our lease agreements.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion, and lease renewal options are not included in our lease terms if they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants or options to purchase the leased property.

Total lease liabilities |  |  |  | $ | 5,077 |  |

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 for operating leases that began prior to that date.

Dilutive Equity Instruments

We had 4,327,358 and 6,255,686 incremental "in-the-money" warrants and restricted stock awards and units at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Basic weighted average shares outstanding includes 0 and 108,044 shares issuable upon the exercise of New Creditor Warrants held by U.S. citizens at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Common shares and new creditor warrants and the sum of common shares and New Creditor Warrants outstanding at March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 37,381,954, 4,117,258, 41,499,212 and 23,988,075, 6,021,696, 30,009,771, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we also had 5,923,399 and 5,062,089 shares of “out-of- the-money” warrants outstanding at the end of each period, respectively.

(6) | INCOME TAXES

We use a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for interim periods instead of applying the annual effective tax rate to an estimate of the full fiscal year due to the level of volatility and unpredictability of earnings in our industry, both overall and by jurisdiction.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, reflects tax liabilities in various jurisdictions that are either based on revenue (deemed profit regimes) or pre-tax profits.

The tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are primarily attributable to permanent establishment issues related to a foreign joint venture, subpart F income inclusions and withholding taxes on foreign services. Penalties and interest related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. Income tax payable is included in other current liabilities.

As of December 31, 2018, our balance sheet reflected approximately $104.9 million of net deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $106.4 million. As of March 31, 2019, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $109.1 million prior to a valuation allowance analysis.

Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to estimate the company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character, and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, to permit use of existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is a cumulative loss incurred over a three-year period in a taxing jurisdiction. Prevailing accounting practice is that such objective evidence would limit the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth.

On the basis of this evaluation, a valuation allowance of $110.7 million has been recorded against net deferred tax assets which are more likely than not to be unrealized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted if future estimates of U.S. taxable income change, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and subjective evidence, such as financial projections for future growth and tax planning strategies, are given additional weight.

With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to tax audits by U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities for years prior to 2013. We are subject to ongoing examinations by various foreign tax authorities and do not believe that the results of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amounts due from Sonatide

Amounts due from Sonatide represent cash received by Sonatide from customers and due to us, amounts due from customers that are expected to be remitted to us by Sonatide and costs incurred by us on behalf of Sonatide.

| (A) | We reduced the respective due from affiliates and due to affiliates balances each period through netting transactions based on agreement with the joint venture.

The obligation to us from Sonatide is denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the underlying third-party customer payments to Sonatide were satisfied, in part, in Angolan kwanzas. We and Sonangol, our partner in Sonatide, have had discussions regarding how the net losses from the devaluation of certain Angolan kwanza denominated accounts should be shared

After offsetting the amounts due to Sonatide, the net amount due from Sonatide was approximately $63 million. Sonatide had approximately $50 million of cash on hand (approximately $20 million denominated in Angolan kwanzas) at March 31, 2019 plus approximately $14 million of net trade accounts receivable to satisfy the net due from Sonatide. Given prior discussions with our partner regarding how the net losses from the devaluation of certain Angolan kwanza denominated accounts should be shared, we continue to evaluate our net due from Sonatide balance for potential impairment based on available liquidity held by Sonatide.

Sonatide Operations

Sonatide’s principal earnings are from the commissions paid by us to the joint venture for company vessels chartered in Angola. In addition, Sonatide owns three vessels (one of which is currently stacked) that may generate operating income and cash flow.

Company operations in Angola

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our Angolan operations generated vessel revenues of approximately $15 million, or 13%, of our consolidated vessel revenue, from an average of approximately 35 company-owned vessels that are marketed through the Sonatide joint venture (14 of which were stacked on average during the three months ended March 31, 2019). For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our Angolan operations generated vessel revenues of approximately $14 million, or 16%, of our consolidated vessel revenue, from an average of approximately 40 company-owned vessels that are marketed through the Sonatide joint venture (18 of which were stacked on average during the three months ended March 31, 2018).

(8) | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We have a defined benefit pension plan (pension plan) that covers certain U.S. citizen employees and other employees who are permanent residents of the United States. Benefits are based on years of service and employee compensation. The Board of Directors amended the pension plan to discontinue the accrual of benefits once the plan was frozen on December 31, 2010. We did not contribute to the pension plan during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and are not required to contribute to the pension plan during the remaining quarters of calendar year 2019; however, we may, at our discretion, make contributions to the plan in order to manage our plan expenses.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

We also support a non-contributory, defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan (supplemental plan) that provided pension benefits to certain employees in excess of those allowed under our tax-qualified pension plan. Effective March 4, 2010, the supplemental plan was closed to new participants. The supplemental plan is a non-qualified plan and, as such, we are not required to make contributions to the supplemental plan. We contributed an immaterial amount to the supplemental plan during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and do not expect contributions to the supplemental plan to be material during the remaining quarters of 2019. Our obligations under the supplemental plan were $20.5 million and $21.4 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and are included in “accrued costs and expenses” and “other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet.

12

Other Defined Benefit Pension Plans

We also have defined benefit pension plans that covers certain Norwegian citizen employees and other employees who are permanent residents of Norway. Benefits are based on years of service and employee compensation. We did not contribute to the Norwegian defined benefit pension plans during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively and we do not expect to make any contributions during the remainder of calendar year 2019.

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

| (A) | As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the fair value (Level 2) of the Secured Notes was $360.4 million and $359.4 million, respectively.

| (B) | In December 2018, we commenced an offer to repurchase up to $25.4 million of the Secured Notes. In January 2019, we repurchased $160,000 of the Secured Notes in accordance with this tender offer obligation. The $7.0 million restricted cash on the balance sheet at March 31, 2019, represents proceeds from asset sales since the date of the December 2018 tender offer and is restricted as of that date by the terms of the Indenture.

| (C) | We pay principal and interest on these notes semi-annually. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value (Level 2) of the Troms Offshore borrowings was $80.6 million and $81.5 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Troms Offshore borrowings as of March 31, 2019 was 5.00%.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

(10) | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Currency Devaluation and Fluctuation Risk

Due to our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and exchange rate risks on all charter hire contracts denominated in foreign currencies. For some of our international contracts, a portion of the revenue and local expenses are incurred in local currencies with the result that we are at risk for changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge against any foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with foreign currency contracts that arise in the normal course of business, which exposes us to the risk of exchange rate losses. To minimize the financial impact of these items, we attempt to contract a significant majority of our services in U.S. dollars. In addition, we attempt to minimize the financial impact of these risks by matching the currency of our operating costs with the currency of our revenue streams when considered appropriate. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in U.S. dollars.

Arbitral Award for the Taking of Our Venezuelan Operations

Committees formed under the rules of the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) have awarded two of our subsidiaries compensation for the expropriation of the investments of the two subsidiaries by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The nature of the investments expropriated and the progress of the ICSID proceeding were previously reported by us in prior filings. The final aggregate award is $58.7 million as of March 31, 2019 and accrues interest at approximately $0.6 million per quarter. The committees’ decisions are not subject to any further ICSID review, appeal or other substantive proceeding or any stay of enforcement.

We are committed to taking appropriate steps to enforce and collect the award, which is enforceable in any of the 150 member states that are party to the ICSID Convention. As initial steps, we have had the award recognized and entered as a judgment by each of (a) the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and (b) the High Court of Justice of England and Wales. In April 2019, we had the District of Columbia judgment entered in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Even with the recognition by the courts in the United States and the United Kingdom, we recognize that collection of the award presents significant practical challenges. We are accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies.

Legal Proceedings

Various legal proceedings and claims are outstanding which arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(1 1) | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Other Financial Instruments

Our primary financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and trade payables with book values that are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. We periodically utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge against foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, currency commitments, or to lock in desired interest rates. These transactions are generally spot or forward currency contracts or interest rate swaps that are entered into with major financial institutions. Derivative financial instruments are intended to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. We enter into derivative instruments only to the extent considered necessary to address our risk management objectives and do not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The derivative instruments are recorded at fair value using quoted prices and quotes obtainable from the counterparties to the derivative instruments.

Cash Equivalents. Our cash equivalents, which are securities with maturities less than 90 days, are held in money market funds, commercial paper or time deposit accounts with highly rated financial institutions. The carrying value for cash equivalents is considered to be representative of its fair value due to the short duration and conservative nature of the cash equivalent investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $346.6 and $327.5 million of cash equivalents.

14

Spot Derivatives. Spot deri vative financial instruments are short-term in nature and generally settle within two business days. The fair value of spot derivatives approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of this instrument, and as a result, no gains or losses are recognized.

For disclosures related to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis refer to Note (14).

| (A) | Prior to January 1, 2019, we allocated the costs of certain marine operations related to general and administrative functions, such as marine management, engineering, supply chain management, risk management, fleet human resources and health and safety to the segment general and administrative expenses. Beginning on January 1, 2019 our management elected to modify that process in order to better analyze costs and better align the policies of the two combined companies such that all costs related to those previously allocated functions will remain as corporate general and administrative expenses. This change is reflected in the table above for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

| (B) | Included in corporate expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $3.7 million of merger and integration costs related to the business combination with GulfMark.

Amount of impairment incurred |  | $ | — |  |  |  | 6,186 |

As of March 31, 2019, we performed an evaluation to determine whether conditions existed that would indicate potential impairment in the value of our assets. Our evaluation did not indicate any indicators of impairment that would require us to perform additional analyses and, consequently, we have recorded no impairment charges in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

(15)RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we finalized plans to abandon duplicate office facilities in St. Rose and New Orleans, Louisiana, Houston, Texas and Aberdeen, Scotland. These closures resulted in a fourth quarter 2018 $5.5 million lease exit charge and a $1.8 million severance charge for employees at these duplicate locations.

Activity for the lease exit and severance liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows:

About Tidewater

Our vessels and associated vessel services provide support for all phases of offshore oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. These services include towing of, and anchor handling for, mobile offshore drilling units; transporting supplies and personnel necessary to sustain drilling, workover and production activities; offshore construction and seismic and subsea support; and a variety of specialized services such as pipe and cable laying. In addition, we have one of the broadest geographic operating footprints in the offshore vessel industry. Our global operating footprint allows us to react quickly to changing local market conditions and to be responsive to the changing requirements of the many customers with which we believe we have strong relationships. We are also one of the most experienced international operators in the offshore energy industry with over 60 years of international experience.

On July 31, 2017, we successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and adopted fresh-start accounting. Refer to Notes (4) and (5) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further details on our Chapter 11 bankruptcy and emergence and the adoption of fresh-start accounting.

At March 31, 2019, we owned or chartered 241 vessels with an average age of 10.4 years (excluding four joint venture vessels, but including 71 stacked vessels) available to serve the global energy industry. The average age of our 170 active vessels at March 31, 2018 is 9.6 years.

On November 15, 2018 (the “Merger Date”), we completed our merger with GulfMark Offshore, Inc. (“GulfMark”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of the Merger dated July 15, 2018. GulfMark’s balances and results are included in our consolidated financial statements and disclosures beginning on the Merger Date. Therefore, our balances and results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 include GulfMark’s operations while our balances and results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 do not include GulfMark’s operations.

Principal Factors That Drive Our Results

Our revenues, net earnings and cash flows from operations are largely dependent upon the activity level of our offshore marine vessel fleet. As is the case with the numerous other vessel operators in our industry, our business activity is largely dependent on the level of exploration, field development and production activity of our customers. Our customers’ business activity, in turn, is dependent on current and expected crude oil and natural gas prices, which fluctuate depending on expected future levels of supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and on estimates of the cost to find, develop and produce crude oil and natural gas reserves.

Our revenues in all segments are driven primarily by our fleet size, vessel utilization and day rates. Because a sizeable portion of our operating and depreciation costs do not change proportionally with changes in revenue, our operating profit is largely dependent on revenue levels.

Operating costs consist primarily of crew costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance costs and loss reserves, fuel, lube oil and supplies costs and other vessel operating costs. Fleet size, fleet composition, geographic areas of operation, supply and demand for marine personnel, and local labor requirements are the major factors which affect overall crew costs in all segments. In addition, our newer, more technologically sophisticated vessels generally require a greater number of specially trained, more highly compensated fleet personnel than our older, smaller and less sophisticated vessels. Crew costs may increase if competition for skilled personnel intensifies, though a weaker offshore energy market should somewhat mitigate any potential inflation of crew costs.

Costs related to the recertification of vessels are deferred and amortized over 30 months on a straight-line basis. Maintenance costs incurred at the time of the recertification drydocking that are not related to the recertification of the vessel are expensed as incurred. Costs related to vessel improvements that either extend the vessel’s useful life or increase the vessel’s functionality are capitalized and depreciated.

20

Insurance and loss reserves costs are dependent on a variety of facto rs, including our safety record and pricing in the insurance markets, and can fluctuate over time. Our vessels are generally insured for up to their estimated fair market value in order to cover damage or loss resulting from marine casualties, adverse weat her conditions, mechanical failure, collisions, and property losses to the vessel. We also purchase coverage for potential liabilities stemming from third-party losses with limits that we believe are reasonable for our operations, but do not generally purc hase business interruption insurance or similar coverage. Insurance limits are reviewed annually, and third-party coverage is purchased based on the expected scope of ongoing operations and the cost of third-party coverage.

Fuel and lube costs can also fluctuate in any given period depending on the number and distance of vessel mobilizations, the number of active vessels off charter, drydockings, and changes in fuel prices. We also incur vessel operating costs that are aggregated as “other” vessel operating costs. These costs consist of brokers’ commissions, including commissions paid to unconsolidated joint venture companies, training costs, satellite communication fees, agent fees, port fees and other miscellaneous costs. Brokers’ commissions are incurred primarily in our non-United States operations where brokers sometimes assist in obtaining work. Brokers generally are paid a percentage of day rates and, accordingly, commissions paid to brokers generally fluctuate in accordance with vessel revenue.

Sonatide Joint Venture

We previously disclosed the significant financial and operational challenges that we confront with respect to operations in Angola, as well as steps that we have taken to address or mitigate those risks. Most of our attention has been focused in three areas: (i) reducing the net receivable balance due from Sonatide, our Angolan joint venture with Sonangol, for vessel services; (ii) reducing the foreign currency risk created by virtue of provisions of Angolan law that require that payment for a portion of the services provided by Sonatide be paid in Angolan kwanza; and (iii) optimizing opportunities, consistent with Angolan law, for services provided by us to be paid for directly in U.S. dollars.

Refer to Note (7) of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on the Sonatide joint venture.

Industry Conditions and Outlook

Our business is directly impacted by the level of activity in worldwide offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production, which in turn is influenced by trends in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, oil and natural gas prices are affected by a host of geopolitical and economic forces, including the fundamental principles of supply and demand. In particular, the oil price is significantly influenced by actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. Beginning in late 2014, the oil and gas industry experienced a significant decline in the price of oil causing an industry-wide downturn that continues into 2019. Beginning in late 2014, oil prices declined significantly from early year levels of over $100 per barrel. Prices continued to decline throughout 2015 and into 2016, reaching a low of less than $30 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016. Prices began to recover over the remainder of 2016, increasing to over $50 per barrel by year end. Prices are subject to significant uncertainty and continue to be volatile, declining again in early 2017, recovering to over $60 per barrel in January 2018 and then declining again to below $50 per barrel by late 2018. In 2019, prices have moved up again to over $60 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate and above $70 per barrel for Brent Crude. The downturn of the last few years coupled with volatility in pricing has significantly impacted the operational plans for exploration and production companies, resulting in reduced expenditures for exploration and production activities, and consequently has adversely affected the drilling and support service industry. The ongoing and sustained decline in the price of oil that began in 2014 has materially and adversely affected our results of operations. These lower commodity prices have negatively impacted our revenues, earnings and cash flows, and further sustained low oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Deepwater activity is a significant segment of the global offshore crude oil and natural gas markets, and a significant component of our business. Development typically involves significant capital investment and multi-year development plans. Such projects are generally underwritten by the participating exploration, field development and production companies using relatively conservative crude oil and natural gas pricing assumptions. Although these projects are generally less susceptible to short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas, deepwater exploration and development projects can be more costly relative to other onshore and offshore exploration and development. As a result, generally depressed crude oil prices have caused, and may continue to cause, many of our customers and potential customers to reevaluate their future capital expenditures in regards to deepwater projects.

Results of Operations

Revenues earned for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were $122.1 million and $91.5 million, respectively. Quarterly revenues have increased as compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year primarily as a result of the business combination with GulfMark. Incremental revenues as a result of this business combination for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $25.5 million.

Vessel operating costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $82.2 million and $61.4 million, respectively. Incremental vessel operating costs as a result of the GulfMark business combination for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $18.2 million.

Depreciation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $22.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Depreciation expense was higher in the current quarter because of an $8.1 million increase as a result of the GulfMark business combination and a $3.3 million increase in amortization of deferred drydocking and survey costs.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were $27.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year and included incremental GulfMark general and administrative costs of $3.8 million and severance and similar costs of $3.7 million related to the integration of the two companies which were partially offset by the company’s continuing efforts to further streamline shore based-operations.

Included in gain on asset dispositions, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, are $1.3 million of net gains from the sale of 16 vessels and other assets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we recognized net gains of $1.9 million related to the sale of 20 vessels and other assets.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These foreign exchange losses were primarily the result of the revaluation of our Norwegian kroner-denominated debt to our U.S. dollar reporting currency.

Prior to January 1, 2019, we allocated the costs of certain marine operations related to general and administrative functions, such as marine management, engineering, supply chain management, risk management, fleet human resources and health and safety to the segment general and administrative expenses. Beginning on January 1, 2019 our management elected to modify that process in order to better analyze costs and bette r align the policies of the two combined companies such that all costs related to those previously allocated functions will remain as corporate general and administrative expenses. This change is reflected in the tables below for the three month period en ded March 31, 2019.

The following table presents general and administrative expenses in our four geographic segments both individually and in total and the related general and administrative expenses as a percentage of the vessel revenues of each segment and in total for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Results for three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018

Americas Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Americas segment increased 35%, or $9.2 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. This increase is the result of the twelve average active additional vessels added to the fleet resulting from the GulfMark business combination. Overall Americas segment utilization increased from 42.7% during the first quarter of 2018 to 48.4% during the first quarter of 2019, however, average day rates during these same periods decreased 21% which is generally reflective of a greater portion of the segment’s vessels contracted at current prevailing day rates which are lower than those experienced during the first quarter of 2018.

Operating loss for the Americas segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, was $1.0 million and operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was $4.9 million. The decreases in operating income is primarily related to the increase in vessel operating costs primarily related to requirements for increased local crewing on vessels operating in Brazil and additional vessels working in the US Gulf, some of which required additional repairs and maintenance during the March 2019 quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, incremental increases related to the addition of GulfMark vessels to the Americas fleet included vessel operating expenses of $6.8 million, depreciation of $2.4 million and general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million. Offsetting these expense increases is a reduction to general and administrative expenses as a result of our new policy beginning on January 1, 2019 to discontinue the allocation of certain corporate general and administrative expenses.

Middle East/Asia Pacific Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Middle East/Asia Pacific segment increased 11%, or $2.1 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Middle East/Asia Pacific vessel fleet increased by one active vessel on a net basis and three active vessels were incrementally added to the area as a result of the business combination with GulfMark. Middle East/Asia Pacific segment utilization increased from 44.9% during the first quarter of 2018 to 61.5% during the first quarter of 2019, however, average day rates during these same periods decreased 11%. Operating loss for the Middle East/Asia Pacific segment decreased 48%, or $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The reduction in the operating loss was primarily related to the increase in revenues which was partially offset by increases in vessel costs and depreciation primarily related to the additional incremental GulfMark vessels.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, incremental increases related to the addition of GulfMark vessels to the Middle East/Asia Pacific vessel fleet included vessel operating expenses of $1.2 million, depreciation of $0.7 million and general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million. Overall reductions to general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to our new policy beginning on January 1, 2019 to discontinue the allocation of certain corporate general and administrative expenses.

25

Europe/Mediterranean Sea Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Europe/Mediterranean Sea segment increased 197%, or $18.9 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Europe/Mediterranean Sea vessel fleet increased by 18 active vessels on a net basis, 15 of which were incrementally added to the area as a result of the business combination with GulfMark. Europe/Mediterranean Sea segment utilization increased modestly from 57.1% during the first quarter of 2018 to 6 0.1% during the first quart er of 2019, and average day rates during these same period s also increased 2 3%. These increases in vessels, utilization and day rates are due to the increasing demand for vessels in the North Sea and Mediterranean. Operating loss for the Europe/Mediterrane an Sea segment decreased 7%, o r $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, incremental increases related to the addition of GulfMark vessels to the Europe/Mediterranean Sea vessel fleet included vessel operating expenses of $10.2 million, depreciation of $4.8 million and general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million. Offsetting these expense increases is a reduction to general and administrative expenses as a result of our new policy beginning on January 1, 2019 to discontinue the allocation of certain corporate general and administrative expenses.

West Africa Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the West Africa segment increased 6%, or $2.0 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The West Africa vessel fleet decreased by one active vessel during the comparative periods. West Africa segment utilization increased from 42.2% during the first quarter of 2018 to 49.4% during the first quarter of 2019, and average day rates increased slightly during these same periods. These increases in revenue was generally due to the mix of higher spec vessels working in the segment and more spot market activity in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Operating profit for the West Africa segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, was $8.1 million, and the operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was $1.8 million. This increase in profitability is due to an increase in revenue with corresponding decreases in vessel costs, primarily as a result of the devaluation of a currency which was used to pay a portion of crew costs, and general and administrative expenses. The reductions to general and administrative expenses are primarily, the result of our new policy beginning on January 1, 2019 to discontinue the allocation of certain corporate general and administrative expenses.

Vessel Utilization and Average Day Rates by Segment

Vessel utilization is determined primarily by market conditions and to a lesser extent by drydocking requirements. Vessel day rates are determined by the demand created largely through the level of offshore exploration, field development and production spending by energy companies relative to the supply of offshore support vessels. Specifications of available equipment and the scope of service provided may also influence vessel day rates. Vessel utilization rates are calculated by dividing the number of days a vessel works during a reporting period by the number of days the vessel is available to work in the reporting period. As such, stacked vessels depress utilization rates because stacked vessels are considered available to work, and are included in the calculation of utilization rates. Average day rates are calculated by dividing the revenue a vessel earns during a reporting period by the number of days the vessel worked in the reporting period.

Vessel utilization and average day rates are calculated on all vessels in service (which includes stacked vessels and vessels in drydock) but do not include vessels owned by joint ventures (four vessels at March 31, 2019).

Average stacked vessels |  |  | (85 | ) |  |  | (79 | )
Average active vessels |  |  | 168 |  |  |  | 138 |

Average active vessels exclude stacked vessels. We consider a vessel to be stacked if the vessel crew is furloughed or substantially reduced and limited maintenance is being performed on the vessel. We reduce operating costs by stacking vessels when management does not foresee opportunities to profitably or strategically operate the vessels in the near future. Vessels are stacked when market conditions warrant and they are no longer considered stacked when they are returned to active service, sold or otherwise disposed. When economically practical marketing opportunities arise, the stacked vessels can be returned to active service by performing any necessary maintenance on the vessel and either rehiring or returning fleet personnel to operate the vessel. Although not currently fulfilling charters, stacked vessels are included in the calculation of utilization statistics.

We had 71, and 70 stacked vessels at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

Availability of Cash

At March 31, 2019, we had $398.0 million in cash and cash equivalents (including $7.0 million of restricted cash), of which $109.0 million was held by foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which is available to us without adverse tax consequences. Included in foreign subsidiary cash are balances held in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies that await repatriation due to various currency conversion and repatriation constraints, partner and tax related matters, prior to the cash being made available for remittance to our domestic accounts. We currently intend that earnings by foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions in order to fund strategic initiatives (such as investment, expansion and acquisitions), fund working capital requirements and repay debt (both third-party and intercompany) of our foreign subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Moreover, we do not currently intend to repatriate earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the United States because cash generated from our domestic businesses and the repayment of intercompany liabilities from foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be sufficient to fund the cash needs of our operations in the United States.

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain adequate financial resources and access to sufficient levels of liquidity. We do not have a revolving credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents and future net cash provided by operating activities provide us, in our opinion, with sufficient liquidity to meet our liquidity requirements.

Debt

Refer to Note (9) of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on our indebtedness.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
