Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis Of Presentation | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Helix”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” in this report refer collectively to Helix and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in U.S. dollars have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). On July 1, 2022, we completed our acquisition of all of the equity interests of the Alliance group of companies (collectively “Alliance”). The condensed consolidated financial statements prior to July 1, 2022 reflect only the historical results of Helix. The condensed consolidated financial statements since the completion of the Alliance acquisition have included the results of Helix Alliance using the acquisition method of accounting. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Alliance acquisition. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related disclosures. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We have made all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of normal recurring nature, that we believe are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows, as applicable. The operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2021 Form 10-K”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Reclassifications | Certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to make them consistent with the current presentation format.
New Accounting Standards | We do not expect any recently issued accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.
