Operational Highlights by Segment 9

COVID-19 AND MARKET EVENTS • The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy have resulted in a precipitous decrease in the price of oil and caused significant disruption and uncertainty in the oil and gas market • The COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges for our operations, in particular crew changes due to travel restrictions; we have established safety measures and protocols on the vessels and for crew changes • Self-isolation before shifts, health questionnaires, screening / virus testing before boarding vessels, longer shifts = reduced travel • PPE requirements onboard (including wearing masks and face shields), social distancing, closed common areas, immediate response plan for any personnel showing symptoms • Demand and pricing for our services has decreased and is expected to remain weak for the near term • We have responded to revenue reductions by responsibly reducing our cost base, including warm stacking two vessels and cutting targeted SG&A spending • We are continuing to take what we believe to be appropriate steps to protect our employees, customers and balance sheet 10

Non-cash impairment losses on goodwill and other long-lived assets and gains and losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable. To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the gain or loss on disposition of assets and the general provision for current expected credit losses, if any. In addition, we include realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments and other than temporary loss on note receivable, which are excluded from EBITDA as a component of net other income or expense. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets. We use EBITDA and free cash flow to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future investments and acquisitions, to plan and evaluate operating budgets, and in certain cases, to report our results to the holders of our debt as required by our debt covenants. We believe that our measures of EBITDA and free cash flow provide useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow differently from the way we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead are supplemental to, income from operations, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures. 26
