(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 statement 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, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021, as amended on April 30, 2021.

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.

(2) | RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-05, Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, which amends Topic 842, Accounting for Leases, to require a lessor to classify a lease with entirely or partially variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if another classification (i.e. sales-type or direct financing) would trigger a Day 1 loss. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Although we are presently evaluating the effect of the standard, we do not expect its adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU-2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Although we are presently evaluating the effect of the standard, we do not expect its adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit plans or other postretirement plans. This ASU removes certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of certain other disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our related disclosures.

(3) | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Expected credit losses are recognized on the initial recognition of our trade accounts receivable and contract assets. In each subsequent reporting period, even if a loss has not yet been incurred, credit losses are recognized based on the history of credit losses and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability. We developed an expected credit loss model applicable to our trade accounts receivable and contract assets that considers our historical performance and the economic environment, as well as the credit risk and its expected development for each segmented group of customers that share similar risk characteristics. It is our practice to write off receivables when all legal options for collection have been exhausted.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

|  | Trade |  |  | Due |
|  | and Other |  |  | from |

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

Contract Balances

At September 30, 2021, we had $0.9 million and $4.1 million of deferred mobilization costs included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively.

At September 30, 2021, we have $0.7 million of deferred mobilization revenue, included within accrued expenses, related to unsatisfied performance obligations which will be recognized during the remainder of 2021 and 2022.

Dilutive Equity Instruments

We had 2,648,775 and 2,488,752 incremental "in-the-money" warrants, restricted stock units and stock options at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are as follows:

Total shares outstanding including warrants, restricted stock units and stock options |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | September 30, 2020 |
Common shares outstanding |  |  | 41,277,377 |  |  |  | 40,460,982 |
New creditor warrants (strike price $0.001 per common share) |  |  | 635,663 |  |  |  | 761,395 |

Total |  |  | 43,926,152 |  |  |  | 42,949,734 |

We also had 5,923,399 shares of “out-of-the-money” warrants outstanding at both September 30, 2021 and 2020. Included in these “out-of-the-money” warrants are Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and GLF Equity Warrants which have exercise prices of $57.06, $62.28, and $100.00, respectively. No warrants or restricted stock units, whether in the money or out of the money, are included in our loss per share calculations because the effect of such inclusion is antidilutive.

(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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 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, 2020, our balance sheet reflected approximately $137.0 million of net deferred tax assets prior to a valuation allowance analysis, with a valuation allowance of $140.4 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $162.1 million prior to a valuation allowance analysis of $165.7 million.

Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to permit use of existing deferred tax assets.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions, that are available to us, that, among other things, would allow businesses to carry back net operating losses arising after 2017 to the five prior tax years. Considering the available carryback, in the second quarter of 2020, we recorded an account receivable tax benefit totaling $6.9 million related to the realization of net operating loss deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance was previously recorded. We collected this receivable in the first quarter of 2021.

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 2014. 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.

(7) | AFFILIATES BALANCES

We maintained the following balances with our unconsolidated affiliates:

Net due from affiliates |  | $ | 8,646 |  |  | $ | 8,856 |

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. The following table displays the activity in the due from affiliate account related to Sonatide for the period indicated:

|  | Nine Months |
|  | Ended |
(In thousands) |  | September 30, 2021 |
Due from Sonatide at December 31, 2020 |  | $ | 41,623 |
Revenue earned by the company through Sonatide |  |  | 29,096 |
Less amounts received from Sonatide |  |  | (19,275 | )
Less amounts used to offset due to Sonatide obligations |  |  | (5,177 | )
Other |  |  | 984 |
Total due from Sonatide at September 30, 2021 |  | $ | 47,251 |

The amounts due from Sonatide are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the underlying third-party customer payments to Sonatide were satisfied, in part, in Angolan kwanzas. In late 2019, we were informed that, as part of a broad privatization program, Sonangol, our partner in Sonatide, intends to seek to divest itself from the Sonatide joint venture.

In the second quarter of 2020, Sonatide declared a $35.0 million dividend. On September 22, 2020, Sonangol received $17.8 million and we received $17.2 million. All of our share of the dividend is reflected as dividend income from unconsolidated company in the consolidated statement of operations because (i) our investment in the Sonatide joint venture had previously been written down to zero, (ii) the distributions are not refundable and (iii) we are not liable for the obligations of or committed to provide financial support to the Sonatide joint venture. In addition, as a result of the aforementioned dividend payment, the cash balances of the joint venture were significantly reduced and we determined that, as a result, a significant portion of our net due from Sonatide balance was compromised. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $41.5 million credit loss impairment expense.

After offsetting the amounts due to Sonatide, the net amount due from Sonatide at September 30, 2021 was approximately $8.6 million. Sonatide had approximately $11.2 million of cash on hand at September 30, 2021 plus approximately $9.5 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 possible additional changes in future periods based in part on available liquidity held by Sonatide. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $1.0 million credit to the credit loss impairment account.

Amounts due from DTDW

We own 40% of DTDW. Our partner, who owns 60%, is a Nigerian national. DTDW owns one offshore service vessel. We also, from time to time, operate company owned vessels in Nigeria for which our partner receives a commission. As of September 30, 2021, we had no company owned vessels operating in Nigeria and the DTDW owned vessel was not employed. As a result, the near-term cash flow projections indicate that DTDW does not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations to us or its vendors. Based on current situations, operations in Nigeria have been severely impacted and we have effectively ceased activity. We have created a fully reserved position in our consolidated balance sheet to account for our expected liabilities related to certain obligations of the joint venture. In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded an affiliate credit loss impairment expense for the entire net due from DTDW balance as of September 30, 2020 totaling $12.1 million.

Previously, DTDW had long-term debt of $4.7 million which was secured by the vessel owned by DTDW and guarantees from the DTDW partners (in proportion to their ownership interests). On April 22, 2021, we paid approximately $2.0 million, which was fully reserved during 2020, that represented our portion of the joint venture debt guarantee and our partner assumed the remaining joint venture debt which represented his portion of the guarantee.

(8) | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We have a defined benefit pension plan (pension plan) that covers certain U.S. employees. The pension plan was frozen during 2010. We have not made contributions to the pension plan since 2019. Actuarial valuations are performed annually and an assessment of the future pension obligations and market value of the assets will determine if contributions are made in the future.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

We also support a non-contributory and non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement plan (supplemental plan) which was closed to new participants during 2010. We contributed $1.2 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect to contribute $0.4 million to the supplemental plan during the remainder of 2021. Our obligations under the supplemental plan were $22.8 million for both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in “accrued expenses” and “other liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

The net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit pension plans and supplemental plan (referred to collectively as “Pension Benefits”) is comprised of the following components:

| (A) | As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the fair value (Level 2) of the Senior Secured Notes was $136.4 million and $141.4 million, respectively.
| (B) | The $24.1 million restricted cash on the balance sheet at September 30, 2021, represents approximately 65% of net proceeds from asset dispositions since the date of the last tender offer and is restricted by the terms of the Indenture.
| (C) | During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased $11.8 million of the Senior Secured Notes at a premium of $0.1 million in open market transactions.
| (D) | We pay principal and interest on these notes semi-annually. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value (Level 2) of the Troms Offshore borrowings was $23.6 million and $51.6 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Troms Offshore borrowings as of September 30, 2021 was 5.0%.

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, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions, one or more additional offers, 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.

An amendment and restatement of the Troms Offshore credit agreement was executed in December 2020 whereby the financial covenants were conformed to match the November 2020 amendments to the covenants governing the Senior Secured Notes, and included an obligation to prepay (1) the amounts deferred in the 2017 amendment and restatement and (2) an additional amount that will not exceed $45 million representing a percentage of Senior Secured Notes prepayments. The prepayment associated with this amendment made during the nine months of 2021 totaled $23.3 million. Additional prepayment obligations of $3.4 million are due in the fourth quarter of 2021, and are reflected in current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the third quarter of 2021, we reclassified the Senior Secured Notes to current portion of long-term debt as the notes mature in August 2022. Our current Senior Secured Notes and Troms Offshore borrowings are expected to be redeemed with proceeds from our new Nordic Bond Offering as described below. The funding of the new notes will not take place until after the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q as noted below.

Subsequent Event

On October 8, 2021, we announced the contemplated private offering of USD $175.0 million in 5-year senior secured bonds in the Nordic bond market, subject to market and other conditions (the Nordic Bond Offering). On October 15, 2021, we announced the completion of pricing and terms of the Nordic Bond Offering. We anticipate that funding of the Nordic Bond Offering will occur on November 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The bonds will mature in November 2026 and have a coupon rate of 8.5% per annum. The net proceeds from the Nordic Bond Offering will be employed to repay the existing Senior Secured Notes and the Troms Offshore borrowings in full, including contractual make-whole premiums, with any remaining part thereof, applied for general corporate purposes.

(10) | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Currency Devaluation and Fluctuation Risk

Due to our international operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. 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.

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.

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. 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. In addition, we disclose the fair value of our long-term debt in Note 9 and the fair value of our assets held for sale in Note 15.

(15) | ASSET DISPOSITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we evaluated our fleet, primarily vessels that had been stacked for an extended period, for vessels to be considered for disposal and identified 46 vessels to be classified as held for sale. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, the industry and world economies were affected by a global pandemic and a concurrent reduction in the demand for and the price of crude oil. The pandemic and oil price impact severely affected the oil and gas industry which caused us to re-evaluate the remainder of our stacked vessel fleet and expand our disposal program to include more vessels. In 2020, we added 32 vessels to our assets held for sale, sold 53 of the vessels that were classified as held for sale, and had 23 vessels, valued at $34.4 million, remaining in the held for sale account as of December 31, 2020. During the nine months of 2021, we added two vessels to assets held for sale, sold nine of our vessels held for sale, and re-activated two vessels from assets held for sale back into the active fleet, leaving 14 vessels, valued at $17.9 million, remaining in the held for sale account as of September 30, 2021. In addition, we sold 10 vessels from our active fleet in the nine month period of 2021 and three vessels from our active fleet in the nine month period of 2020. One of the active vessel sales in 2021 was to a third-party operator which has a person in senior management who is an immediate family member of a Director. This vessel was sold for proceeds of $11.4 million, all of which has been collected, and we recognized a gain of $4.3 million on the sale. The total vessel and other sales for the nine months of 2021 contributed approximately $34.0 million in proceeds and we incurred a net $3.0 million loss on the dispositions. The vessel and other sales for the nine months of 2020 contributed $31.5 million in proceeds and we recognized a $7.5 million net gain on the dispositions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $1.9 million and $65.7 million, respectively, in impairment related to assets held for sale. We consider the valuation approach for our assets held for sale to be a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the level of estimation involved in valuing assets to be recycled or sold. We determined the fair value of the vessels held for sale using two methodologies depending on the vessel and on our planned method of disposition. We designated certain vessels to be recycled and valued those vessels using recycling yard pricing schedules based on dollars per ton. We generally value vessels that will be sold rather than recycled at the midpoint of a value range based on sales agreements or using comparative sales in the marketplace. Subsequent to the original valuation, we revalue individual assets held for sale if we determine that the ultimate disposition price will be below the value range used in the original estimate. In addition, in conjunction with the reactivation of a vessel from assets held for sale to the active fleet in the third quarter of 2021 and the concurrent valuation of such vessel at its fair value, we recaptured $1.7 million of impairment charged to expense in the second quarter of 2020. We do not separate our asset impairment expense by segment because of the significant movement of our assets between segments.

The following table presents the activity in our asset held for sale account for the periods indicated:

We evaluated our inventory as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and charged $1.9 million for each period to impairment expense for obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory. We considered this valuation approach to be a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the level of estimation involved in valuing obsolete inventory.

In early 2020, it became evident that a novel coronavirus originating in Asia (COVID-19) could become a pandemic with worldwide reach. By mid- March, when the World Health Organization declared the outbreak to be a pandemic (the COVID-19 pandemic), much of the industrialized world had initiated severe measures to lessen its impact. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption beginning in the first quarter of 2020. With respect to our particular sector, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a much lower demand for oil as national, regional, and local governments imposed travel restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders, and limitations on business operations in order to contain its spread. During this same time period, oil-producing countries struggled to reach consensus on worldwide production levels, resulting in both a market oversupply of oil and a precipitous fall in oil prices. Combined, these conditions adversely affected our operations and business beginning in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 and continuing throughout the remainder of 2020 and through the first nine months of 2021. The reduction in demand for hydrocarbons together with an unprecedented decline in the price of oil has resulted in our primary customers, the oil and gas companies, making material reductions to their planned spending on offshore projects, compounding the effect of COVID-19 on offshore operations. Further, these conditions, separately or together, have continued to impact the demand for our services, the utilization and/or rates we can achieve for our assets and services, and the outlook for our industry in general.

In the first and second quarters of 2020, we considered these events to be indicators that the value of our active offshore vessel fleet may be impaired. As a result, as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we performed Step 1 evaluations of our active offshore fleet under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, which governs the methodology for identifying and recording impairment of long-lived assets to determine if any of our asset groups have net book value in excess of undiscounted future net cash flows. Our evaluations did not indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. Beginning with the third quarter of 2020, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price environment stabilized and in the fourth quarter of 2020 industry conditions marginally improved. Similarly, in the first nine months of 2021 we have not seen indications in the industry that would indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. As a result, we did not identify additional events or conditions that would require us to perform a Step 1 evaluation as of September 30, 2021. We will continue to monitor the expected future cash flows and the fair market value of our asset groups for impairment.

About Tidewater

Our vessels and associated vessel services provide support for all phases of offshore oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production as well as windfarm development and maintenance. 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; geotechnical survey support for windfarm construction, and a variety of other 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 a history spanning over 65 years.

At September 30, 2021, we owned 153 vessels (excluding 3 joint venture vessels), 139 of which are available to serve the global energy industry and 14 of which are available for immediate sale. The average age of our 139 active vessels at September 30, 2021 is 10.6 years.

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, 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.

Insurance costs are dependent on a variety of factors, 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. 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 purchase 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, 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

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. The amounts due from Sonatide are 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. In late 2019, we were informed that, as part of a broad privatization program, Sonangol intends to seek to divest itself from the Sonatide joint venture.

Refer to Notes (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.

DTDW

We own 40% of DTDW. Our partner, who owns 60%, is a Nigerian national. DTDW owns one offshore service vessel. We also, from time to time, operate company owned vessels in Nigeria for which our partner receives a commission. As of September 30, 2021, we had no company owned vessels operating in Nigeria and the DTDW owned vessel was not employed. As a result, the near-term cash flow projections indicate that DTDW does not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations to us or its vendors. Based on current situations, operations in Nigeria have been severely impacted and we have effectively ceased activity. We have created a fully reserved position in our consolidated balance sheet to account for our expected liabilities related to certain obligations of the joint venture.

Previously, DTDW had long-term debt of $4.7 million which was secured by the vessel owned by DTDW and guarantees from the DTDW partners (in proportion to their ownership interests). On April 22, 2021, we paid approximately $2.0 million, which represented our portion of the joint venture debt guarantee and our partner assumed the remaining joint venture debt which represented his portion of the guarantee.

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. In addition, offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities have traditionally required higher oil or natural gas prices to justify the much higher expenditure levels of offshore activities compared to onshore activities. Prices are subject to significant uncertainty and, as a result, are extremely volatile. Beginning in late 2014, oil prices declined significantly from levels of over $100.00 per barrel and continued to decline throughout 2015 and into 2016 causing an industry-wide downturn. Prices began to stabilize in the $50.00 to $60.00 per barrel range in 2019 and early 2020. However, in the first quarter of 2020 the industry was severely impacted by a global pandemic (COVID-19) and the resulting loss of demand and decrease in oil prices. Oil prices have recovered in 2021 to levels greater than experienced since 2018, currently trading near $80.00 per barrel. Natural gas prices are also at historic highs.

In spite of the price recovery, there are lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the activity levels of our customers. In addition, there has been recent pressure from certain shareholders and other stakeholders, including governmental entities, on our customers related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. A possible impact of this pressure on our business could be a gradual move away from exploration and development of fossil fuels. Many of our large international customers have recently issued statements supporting changes in their future business plans to move toward a lower environmental impact which has, coupled with the lingering COVID-19 impact, effectively delayed the recovery in our business that would be expected with current commodity price levels. Further, as our customers have responded to pressure to return capital to shareholders in the wake of the 2014 downturn and subsequent industry challenges, they have increasingly shifted their capital allocation strategy from primarily new oil and gas production and reserve additions to a mix of returns to shareholders along with new oil and gas project development. We are the world’s largest operator of offshore support vessels and we have operations in most of the world’s offshore oil and gas basins. We continue to believe that there will be sufficient opportunities for us to operate our vessels in this sector for many years to come. We have, however, also begun to seek and develop opportunities in the sustainability arena, including the support of offshore wind energy generation and the improvement of our fleet performance regarding emissions and environmental impact.

As COVID-19 spread throughout the world, its impact on many of our locations, including our vessels, has affected our operations. We implemented various protocols for both onshore and offshore personnel in efforts to limit this impact. Any spread of COVID-19 to our onshore workforce or key management personnel could prevent us from supporting our offshore operations, reduce productivity as our onshore personnel continue to work remotely, and disrupt our business. Any outbreak on our vessels may result in the vessel, or some or all of a vessel crew, being quarantined and therefore impede the vessel’s ability to generate revenue. We have experienced challenges in connection with our offshore crew changes due to health and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, and those challenges and/or restrictions are expected to continue despite our efforts at mitigating them. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our operations and business, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in our SEC filings.

The effect on our business has included lockdowns of shipyards performing drydocks which delays vessels returning to service and the cancellation and/or temporary delay of certain revenue vessel contracts allowed either under the contract provisions or by mutual agreement with our customers. These cancellations and/or temporary delays reduced our year 2020 revenues by 18% and third quarter and year-to-date 2021 revenues by less than 1% and 4% respectively. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred approximately $18.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in higher operating costs, primarily related to additional crew costs, mobilization and vessel stacking costs as a result of these unplanned contract cancellations. There may be additional cancellations or delays.

As a company, we have undertaken several measures to allow us to recover as soon as possible:

| • | Planned capital and drydock expenditures tied to contracts referenced above have been temporarily delayed or cancelled.
| • | We have the ability to rapidly respond to contract cancellations and delays, and have removed the crews and shut down operations, depending on contract terms, on vessels associated with cancelled or delayed contracts. We continue to evaluate our general and administrative costs to reflect the current demand for our offshore support vessels.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations will depend on the severity, location, and duration of the effects and spread of the pandemic itself, the actions undertaken by national, regional, and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of this pandemic, the anticipated negative financial impact to our operating results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be both material and long lasting.

In the first and second quarters of 2020, we considered these events to be indicators that the value of our active offshore vessel fleet may be impaired. As a result, as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we performed Step 1 evaluations of our active offshore fleet under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, which governs the methodology for identifying and recording impairment of long-lived assets to determine if any of our asset groups have net book value in excess of undiscounted future net cash flows. Our evaluations did not indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. Beginning with the third quarter of 2020, conditions related to the pandemic and oil price environment stabilized and in the fourth quarter industry conditions marginally improved. Similarly, during the first nine months of 2021, we have not seen indications in the industry that would indicate impairment of any of our asset groups. As a result, we did not identify additional events or conditions that would require us to perform a Step 1 evaluation as of September 30, 2021. We will continue to monitor the expected future cash flows and the fair market value of our asset groups for impairment.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020

Revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $92.4 million and $86.5 million, respectively. The $5.9 million increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase in capacity, as we have six more average vessels working in the third quarter of 2021 than during the same quarter of 2020. The increased capacity was supplemented by increased active utilization from 78.2% in 2020 to 81.6% in 2021. Average day rates decreased slightly from $10,503 per day in 2020 to $10,288 in 2021.

Vessel operating costs for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $65.3 million and $61.8 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increase in vessel activity, as we have six more active vessels in our fleet in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. There was higher than normal repair and maintenance cost in the quarter and we have also reactivated vessels as a result of new contracts.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $28.0 million and $30.8 million, respectively, with the difference largely due the sale of ten vessels from our active fleet in 2021.

General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $18.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to higher professional fees.

Included in gain (loss) on asset dispositions, net for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, are $0.1 million of net losses from the disposal of six vessels and other assets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we recognized gains of $0.5 million related to the disposal of 22 vessels and other assets.

Long-lived asset impairment and affiliate credit loss impairment expense during the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were a $2.2 million and $1.9 million expense, respectively. The expense in 2021 is due to $1.9 million impairment of vessels designated as assets held for sale offset by $1.7 million of recovered impairment of a vessel reactivated and added back to the active fleet from assets held for sale and $1.9 million of impairment expense related to obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory. In the prior year quarter we recorded $1.9 million of impairment expense related to obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory.

Interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, was $3.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Since July 1, 2020, we paid down $134.1 million of our Senior Secured Notes and TROMS debt which reduced our interest expense.

During the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.9 million compared to an income tax expense of $6.0 million for the three months ending September 30, 2020. The decrease of $5.1 million resulted from a benefit recognized from the resolution of an uncertain tax provision during the quarter. The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is mainly attributable to foreign taxes that are calculated on the basis of deemed profit or minimum tax regimes or withholding tax on revenue instead of taxable income or loss. Additionally, the inability to offset profits in one country with losses in a different country contributes to having a tax liability despite large consolidated pre-tax losses.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $265.9 million and $305.2 million, respectively. The $39.3 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decrease in capacity, primarily as a result of contract cancellations and reduced demand arising from the effects of COVID-19 and lower crude oil prices. Overall, we had 17 less average active vessels during the nine months of 2021 than in the nine months of 2020. Active utilization increased slightly from 77.0% in 2020 to 79.2% in 2021. Average day rates decreased slightly from $10,510 per day in 2020 to $10,243 in 2021.

Vessel operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $190.6 million and $205.4 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in vessel activity, as we have 17 less active vessels in our fleet in the nine months of 2021 compared to the nine months of 2020 largely due to the downturn caused by the pandemic.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $86.3 million and $86.0 million, respectively, largely due to increased depreciation due to change in estimated vessel salvage values partially offset by a decrease in in amortization expense related to deferred drydock expenditures resulting from the sale of vessels from the active fleet.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $50.9 million and $56.5 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to decreased personnel and benefit costs related to the significant cost cutting measures that were implemented due to the COVID-19 downturn.

Included in gain (loss) on asset dispositions, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, are $3.0 million of net losses from the disposal of 19 vessels and other assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized gains of $7.5 million related to the disposal of 47 vessels and other assets.

Long-lived asset impairment, affiliate credit loss impairment expense and affiliate guarantee obligation during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $1.2 million and $123.2 million, respectively. The expense in 2021 is due to $1.9 million impairment of additional vessels designated as assets held for sale offset by $1.7 million recovered impairment of a vessel reactivated and added back to the active fleet from assets held for sale; $1.9 million of impairment expense related to obsolete marine service and vessel supplies and parts inventory; and a partial offset of $1.0 million affiliate credit loss impairment credit related to the valuation of our net receivables from our joint ventures in Africa. In the prior year period, we recorded $65.7 million of impairment expense related to valuation of our assets held for sale, $53.6 million affiliate credit loss impairment expense relating to the valuation of our net receivables from our joint ventures in Africa and $2.0 million of impairment related to a guarantee of long-term debt of our Nigerian joint venture.

We also recorded $17.2 million of dividend income from one of our African joint ventures in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, was $12.2 million and $18.2 million, respectively. Since July 1, 2020, we paid down $134.1 million of our Senior Notes and TROMS debt which reduced our interest expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.9 million compared to an income tax expense of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $5.4 million from the prior year period resulted from the beneficial impact of a change in the tax laws (primarily the Cares Act refund) and higher foreign tax expenses in the current period. The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is mainly attributable to foreign taxes that are calculated on the basis of deemed profit or minimum tax regimes or withholding tax on revenue instead of taxable income or loss. Additionally, the inability to offset profits in one country with losses in a different country contributes to having a tax liability despite large consolidated pre-tax losses.

Results for three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020

Americas Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Americas segment decreased 14.4%, or $4.1 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily the result of less demand due to the pandemic partially offset by a 9% increase in day rates. We had six less average active vessels in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 than the comparable prior year period. Active utilization for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased to 80.4% from 82.0%. Average day rates increased from $12,581 per day in the third quarter of 2020 to $13,742 per day during the third quarter of 2021. This increase is a result of the recent demand resulting from the commodity pricing.

Vessel operating loss for the Americas segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $1.8 million, compared to $0.1 million operating profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in operating loss was due to the decrease in revenue partially offset by lower operating expenses, resulting mainly from the decrease in active vessels and the cost saving measures taken in the first quarter of 2020 in response to the effect of the pandemic and a $0.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to lower amortization of deferred drydock costs and sales of vessels from the active fleet. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million quarter over quarter, reflecting our immediate cost reduction efforts at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Middle East/Asia Pacific Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Middle East/Asia Pacific segment increased 10%, or $2.4 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Active utilization for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 increased to 87.3% from 76.8% and average day rates increased 7% but were partially offset by the effect of four less average active vessels.

The Middle East/Asia Pacific segment reported an operating loss of $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The reduced operating loss was the result of the revenue increase partially offset by increases in operating expenses of $0.8 million, resulting largely from increased repair and maintenance cost. General and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization costs remained relatively flat for the comparable periods. The downturn has not significantly impacted this segment’s operations and the revenue increase reflects the recent increases in demand.

Europe/Mediterranean Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Europe/Mediterranean segment increased 20%, or $3.5 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increased revenue was primarily attributable to six additional active vessels. Average day rates decreased from $13,361 in the third quarter of 2020 to $11,890 in the third quarter of 2021 as many longer term contracts were cancelled in the prior year due to the pandemic. Active utilization decreased in the same periods from 95.1% to 90.5%.

The Europe/Mediterranean segment reported an operating loss of $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to an operating loss of $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as the increased revenue combined with $0.3 million in lower general and administrative costs and $1.4 million in lower depreciation and amortization costs were largely offset by $4.1 million in higher operating costs, related to higher repairs and maintenance and higher crew costs as we activated more vessels.

West Africa Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the West Africa segment increased 29% or $4.5 million, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The West Africa active vessel fleet increased by nine vessels during the comparative periods. West Africa segment active utilization increased from 66.3% during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 to 71.3% during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. However, average day rates decreased 11% due to the change in the mix of remaining contracts. The increases in revenue are almost entirely the result of recent higher demand.

Vessel operating loss for the West Africa segment decreased from $10.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 to $3.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the increased revenue combined with decreases in all major expense categories. We experienced $0.5 million in lower operating costs, $0.7 million in lower depreciation and amortization costs and $0.7 million in lower general and administrative costs.

Results for nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020

Americas Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Americas segment decreased 21%, or $20.3 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily the result of less demand due to the pandemic. We had seven less average active vessels in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 than the comparable prior year period. Active utilization for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased to 81.8% from 85.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Average day rates increased by 3% to $12,846 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $12,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Vessel operating loss for the Americas segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.4 million, compared to a $3.4 million operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in operating loss was due to the decrease in revenue partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease in operating expenses and a $1.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, resulting mainly from the decrease in active vessels and the intensive cost saving measures taken in the first half of 2020 in response to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Segment depreciation and amortization expense also decreased by 4% in the comparable periods due largely to active vessel sales.

Middle East/Asia Pacific Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Middle East/Asia Pacific segment increased 5%, or $3.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Active utilization for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to 86.6% from 76.8% and average day rates increased 8% but were somewhat offset by the effect of six less average active vessels.

The Middle East/Asia Pacific segment reported an operating loss of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as the revenue increase was largely offset by a $2.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to a change in estimated vessel salvage values in the third quarter of 2020 and increased amortization of deferred drydock costs. The current downturn has not significantly impacted this segment’s operations and the revenue increase reflects the recent increases in demand.

Europe/Mediterranean Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the Europe/Mediterranean segment decreased 14%, or $9.4 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to two less active vessels combined with 4% lower average day rates and slightly lower active utilization. The decreases in revenue are almost entirely the result of lower demand caused by the effect of the pandemic, although demand in this segment is beginning to recover as evidenced by the increase in third quarter revenue of 2021.

The Europe/Mediterranean segment reported an operating loss of $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to decreased revenue, partially offset by slightly lower depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs, resulting primarily from the decrease in active vessels and the intensive cost saving measures taken in 2020 in response to the effect of the pandemic

West Africa Segment Operations. Vessel revenues in the West Africa segment decreased 17% or $11.0 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The West Africa active vessel fleet decreased by two vessels during the comparative periods. Average day rates decreased 14% due to the change in the mix of remaining contracts. West Africa segment active utilization increased from 62.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 64.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decreases in revenue are almost entirely the result of lower demand caused by the pandemic.

Vessel operating loss for the West Africa segment decreased from $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $15.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to $3.6 million in lower general and administrative costs resulting from intensive cost saving measures taken in the first half of 2020 in response to the effect of the pandemic. Segment depreciation and amortization also decreased by $0.7 million.

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.

Total vessel utilization is calculated on all vessels in service (which includes stacked vessels, vessels held for sale and vessels in drydock) but do not include vessels owned by joint ventures (3 vessels at both September 30, 2021 and 2020). Active utilization is calculated on active vessels (which excludes vessels held for sale). Average day rates are calculated based on total vessel days worked.

The following tables compare day-based utilization percentages, average day rates and average total, active and stacked vessels by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

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 32 and 60 stacked vessels at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in stacked vessels is primarily attributable to vessel sales, but we have also reactivated several vessels in 2021. Total stacking costs included in vessel operating costs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $2.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Total stacking costs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $9.8 million and $18.0 million, respectively.

Vessel Dispositions

We seek opportunities to sell and/or responsibly recycle our older vessels when market conditions warrant and opportunities arise. The majority of our vessels are sold to buyers who do not compete with us in the offshore energy industry. Vessels sales during the first nine months of 2021 included nine vessels that were classified as assets held for sale and ten vessels from our active fleet.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

Availability of Cash

As of September 30, 2021, we had $153.7 million in cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), including amounts 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 third-party and intercompany debt 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 U. S. 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 U. S.

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain and preserve adequate financial resources and 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

As of September 30, 2021, we had $155.1 million of debt, net of discount, on our consolidated balance sheet. Of this amount, our Senior Secured Notes total $135.2 million, which is due in August 2022 with an expected refinance in November 2021. The Senior Secured Notes have a quarterly minimum trailing year interest coverage requirement, however compliance with this covenant has been waived through December 31, 2021. Minimum liquidity requirements and other covenants are set forth in the amended Indenture. In addition, we have $23.5 million of long-term debt in a subsidiary that is collateralized by certain of the subsidiary’s vessels. This debt has similar covenants as the Senior Secured Notes.

During the quarter, we reclassified the Senior Secured Notes to current portion of long-term debt as the notes mature in August 2022. Our current Senior Secured Notes are expected to be redeemed with proceeds of our new Nordic Bond offering. On October 8, 2021, we announced the contemplated private offering of USD $175.0 million in 5-year senior secured bonds in the Nordic bond market, subject to market and other conditions (the Nordic Bond Offering). On October 15, 2021, we announced the completion of pricing and terms of the Nordic Bond Offering. We anticipate that funding of the Nordic Bond Offering will occur on November 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The new bonds will mature in November 2026 and have a coupon rate of 8.5% per annum. The net proceeds from the Nordic Bond Offering will be employed to repay the existing Senior Secured Notes and the Troms Offshore borrowings in full, including contractual make-whole premiums, with any remaining part thereof, applied for general corporate purposes.

We believe that the $153.7 million in cash on hand, plus cash generated from our operations and asset sales in 2021 and in the future will be sufficient to meet our obligations. The contemplated refinancing of debt outstanding at September 30, 2021 as described above will improve our liquidity position and push our major debt maturities out for several years. Refer to Notes (9) and (16) of Notes to 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, public tenders 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, any control system, no matter how well conceived and followed, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
