AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) ​ Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards 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”). 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, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2023 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 2023 Form 10-K. 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 In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss as well as an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. ASU No. 2023-07 requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods as well. Among other things, this ASU also requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU No. 2023-07 will be effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than increased disclosure requirements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires entities to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires that entities disclose on an annual basis: a) income taxes paid (net) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, b) income taxes paid (net) by individual jurisdiction, c) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) between domestic and foreign, and d) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations by federal, state and foreign. Certain previous disclosure requirements on unrecognized tax benefits and cumulative amount of temporary differences are eliminated. ASU No. 2023-09 will be effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than increased disclosure requirements. We do not expect other recently issued accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective. ​ 7 Table of Contents Note 2 — Company Overview We are an international offshore energy services company that provides specialty services to the offshore energy industry, with a focus on well intervention, robotics and decommissioning operations. Our services are key in supporting a global energy transition: ● Production maximization — our assets and methodologies are specifically designed to efficiently enhance and extend the lives of existing oil and gas reserves; we also offer an alternative to take over end-of-life reserves in preparation for their abandonment; ● Decommissioning — we are a full-field abandonment contractor and believe that regulatory push for plug and abandonment (“P&A”) and transition to renewable energy will facilitate the continued growth of the abandonment market; and ● Renewables — we are an established global leader in jet trenching and provide specialty support services to renewable energy developments such as offshore wind farms, including boulder removal and unexploded ordnance clearance. We provide a range of services to the oil and gas and renewable energy markets primarily in the Gulf of Mexico (deepwater and shelf), U.S. East Coast, Brazil, North Sea, Asia Pacific and West Africa regions. Our North Sea operations and our Gulf of Mexico shelf operations are usually subject to seasonal changes in demand, which generally peaks in the summer months and declines in the winter months. Our services are segregated into four reportable business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics, Shallow Water Abandonment and Production Facilities. Our Well Intervention segment provides services enabling our customers to safely access subsea offshore wells for the purpose of performing production enhancement or decommissioning operations, thereby mitigating the need to drill new wells by extending the useful lives of existing wells and preserving the environment by preventing uncontrolled releases of oil and natural gas. Our well intervention vessels include the Q4000 , the Q5000 , the Q7000 , the Seawell , the Well Enhancer , and two chartered monohull vessels, the Siem H elix 1 and the Siem Helix 2 . Our well intervention equipment includes intervention systems such as intervention riser systems (“IRSs”), subsea intervention lubricators (“SILs”) and the Riserless Open-water Abandonment Module, some of which we provide on a stand-alone basis. Our Robotics segment provides trenching, seabed clearance, offshore construction and inspection, repair and maintenance (“IRM”) services to both the oil and gas and the renewable energy markets globally, thereby assisting the delivery of renewable energy and supporting the responsible transition away from a carbon-based economy. Additionally, our robotics services are used in and complement our well intervention services. Our Robotics segment includes remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”), trenchers, IROV boulder grabs and robotics support vessels under term charters as well as spot vessels as needed. We offer our ROVs, trenchers and IROV boulder grabs on a stand-alone basis or on an integrated basis with chartered robotics support vessels. Our Shallow Water Abandonment segment provides services in support of the upstream and midstream ‎industries predominantly in the Gulf of Mexico shelf, including offshore oilfield decommissioning and ‎reclamation, project management, engineered solutions, intervention, maintenance, repair, heavy lift and commercial diving services. Our Shallow Water Abandonment segment includes Helix Alliance that was acquired in July 2022, which offers a diversified fleet of marine assets including liftboats, offshore supply vessels (“OSVs”), dive support vessels (“DSVs”), a heavy lift derrick barge, a crew boat, P&A systems and coiled tubing (“CT”) systems. Our Production Facilities segment includes the Helix Producer I (the “ HP I ”), a ship-shaped dynamically positioned floating production vessel, the Helix Fast Response System (the “HFRS”), which combines the HP I , the Q4000 and the Q5000 with certain well control equipment that can be deployed to respond to a well control incident, and our ownership of mature oil and gas properties. All of our current Production Facilities activities are located in the Gulf of Mexico. ​ 8 Table of Contents Note 3 — Details of Certain Accounts Other current assets consist of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ December 31, ​ 2024 2023 Prepaids ​ $ 33,511 $ 28,352 Contract assets (Note 8) ​ ​ 12,888 ​ ​ 5,824 Deferred costs (Note 8) ​ 42,048 ​ 36,041 Other ​ 10,487 ​ 15,006 Total other current assets ​ $ 98,934 $ 85,223 ​ Other assets, net consist of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ December 31, ​ 2024 2023 Prepaid charter (1) ​ $ 12,544 $ 12,544 Deferred costs (Note 8) ​ ​ 709 ​ 587 Other receivable (2) ​ 24,247 ​ 25,623 Intangible assets with finite lives, net ​ 3,840 ​ 4,105 Other ​ 1,978 ​ 1,964 Total other assets, net ​ $ 43,318 $ 44,823 (1) Represents prepayments to the owner of the Siem Helix 1 and the Siem Helix 2 to offset certain payment obligations associated with the vessels at the end of their respective charter term.

(“Bank of America”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Zions Bancorporation and subsequently we entered into various amendments (collectively, the “Amended ABL Facility”). The most recent amendment on August 2, 2024 extended the maturity of the Amended ABL Facility and increased the letter of credit basket size. The Amended ABL Facility provides a $ 120 million asset-based revolving credit facility, which matures on August 2, 2029 , with a springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of any outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $ 50 million. The Amended ABL Facility also permits us to request an increase of the facility by up to $ 30 million, subject to certain conditions. Commitments under the Amended ABL Facility are comprised of separate U.S. and U.K. revolving credit facility commitments of $ 85 million and $ 35 million, respectively. The Amended ABL Facility provides funding based on a borrowing base calculation that includes eligible U.S. and U.K. customer accounts receivable and cash, and provides for a $ 55 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2024, we had no borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility, and our available borrowing capacity, based on the borrowing base, totaled $ 74.7 million, net of $ 31.6 million of letters of credit issued. We and certain of our U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries are the current borrowers under the Amended ABL Facility, whose obligations under the Amended ABL Facility are guaranteed by those borrowers and certain other U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries, excluding Cal Dive I – Title XI, Inc. (“CDI Title XI”), Helix Offshore Services Limited and certain other enumerated subsidiaries. Other subsidiaries may be added as guarantors of the facility in the future. The Amended ABL Facility is secured by all accounts receivable and designated deposit accounts of the U.S. borrowers and guarantors, and by substantially all of the assets of the U.K. borrowers and guarantors. U.S. borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility bear interest at the Term SOFR rate (also known as CME Term SOFR as administered by CME Group, Inc.) plus a margin of 1.50 % to 2.00 % or at a base rate plus a margin of 0.50 % to 1.00 %. U.K. borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at the Term SOFR rate with SOFR adjustment of 0.10 % and U.K. borrowings denominated in the British pound bear interest at the SONIA daily rate, each plus a margin of 1.50 % to 2.00 %. We also pay a commitment fee of 0.375 % to 0.50 % per annum on the unused portion of the facility. The Amended ABL Facility includes certain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, pay dividends and make distributions on equity interests, dispose of assets, make investments, repay certain indebtedness, engage in mergers, and other matters, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Amended ABL Facility contains customary default provisions which, if triggered, could result in acceleration of all amounts then outstanding. The Amended ABL Facility requires us to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 if availability is less than the greater of 10 % of the borrowing base or $ 12 million. The Amended ABL Facility also (i) limits the amount of permitted debt for the deferred purchase price of property not to exceed $ 50 million, and (ii) provides for potential ESG-related pricing adjustments based on specific metrics and performance targets determined by us and Bank of America, as agent with respect to the Amended ABL Facility. 12 Table of Contents MARAD Debt In 2005, Helix’s subsidiary CDI – Title XI issued its U.S. Government Guaranteed Ship Financing Bonds, Q4000 Series, to refinance the construction financing originally granted in 2002 of the Q4000 vessel (the “MARAD Debt”). The MARAD Debt is guaranteed by the U.S. government pursuant to Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, administered by the Maritime Administration (“MARAD”). The obligation of CDI Title XI to reimburse MARAD in the event CDI Title XI fails to repay the MARAD Debt is collateralized by the Q4000 and is guaranteed 50 % by us. In addition, we have agreed to bareboat charter the Q4000 from CDI Title XI for so long as the MARAD Debt remains outstanding. The MARAD Debt is payable in equal semi-annual installments through February 2027 and bears interest at a rate of 4.93 %. We believe the agreements relating to the bonds and the terms and conditions of our obligations to MARAD in respect of the MARAD Debt were typical for U.S. government-guaranteed ship financing transactions when they were entered into, including customary restrictions on incurring additional liens on the Q4000 and trading restrictions with respect to the vessel as well as working capital requirements. Senior Notes Due 2029 (“2029 Notes”) On December 1, 2023, we issued $ 300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes were approximately $ 291.1 million, after deducting the purchasers’ discount and debt issuance costs. We used cash proceeds from the offering to retire the Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). See details regarding the 2026 Notes below. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a coupon interest rate of 9.75 % per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2024. The 2029 Notes mature on March 1, 2029 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by us. Prior to March 1, 2026, we may, at our option, redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after March 1, 2026, we may, at our option, redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Prior to March 1, 2026, following certain equity offerings we may, at our option, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 40 % of the 2029 Notes at a price equal to 109.750 % of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, in an amount not exceeding the proceeds of such equity offerings. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Redemption Year Price 2026 ​ 104.875 % 2027 ​ 102.438 % 2028 and thereafter ​ 100.000 % ​ Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, as defined in the indenture governing the 2029 Notes, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The indenture governing the 2029 Notes contains customary terms and covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness, restricted payments, liens, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, mergers and consolidations, designation of unrestricted subsidiaries, and dividend and other restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries. The 2029 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the subsidiaries that guarantee the Amended ABL Facility, as well as certain future subsidiaries that may guarantee certain of our indebtedness, including the Amended ABL Facility. The 2029 Notes are junior in right of payment to all our existing and future secured indebtedness and obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2029 Notes rank senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated indebtedness and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the guarantors described above on a senior basis. 13 Table of Contents 2026 Notes During December 2023 and the first quarter 2024, we retired the 2026 Notes through various transactions using proceeds from the 2029 Notes as well as the issuance of our common stock. In December 2023, we entered into privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $ 159.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Repurchases”) for 1.5 million shares of our common stock and aggregate cash payments of $ 229.7 million, plus accrued and unpaid cash interest of $ 3.8 million. We recognized pre-tax inducement charges of $ 37.4 million for the 2026 Notes Repurchases in the fourth quarter 2023, representing the total settlement value in excess of the total conversion value of the 2026 Notes Repurchases when the final negotiated offers were accepted. The conversion value paid in excess of the carrying amount of the 2026 Notes Repurchases is reflected in “Common stock” in the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In December 2023, $ 0.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes was tendered for conversion. We settled the conversions for $ 0.3 million cash in March 2024. The conversion value paid in excess of the $ 0.2 million carrying amount of the 2026 Notes that were tentered for conversion is reflected in “Common stock” in the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. In January 2024, we issued a notice for the redemption of the remaining $ 40.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be settled in March 2024 (the “2026 Notes Redemptions”). The redemption price consisted of the principal amount and the make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our redemption notice enabled holders of $ 39.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes to tender their notes for conversion prior to the redemption date, with the remaining $ 0.3 million aggregate principal amount of the notes redeemed. We settled both the conversions and redemptions for an aggregate $ 60.2 million cash in March 2024 and recognized pre-tax losses of $ 20.9 million. These losses are reflected in “Losses related to convertible senior notes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The 2026 Notes had a coupon interest rate of 6.75 % per annum and an effective interest rate of 7.6 %. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, total interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $ 0.4 million with coupon interest expense of $ 0.3 million and the amortization of debt issuance costs of $ 0.1 million. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, total interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $ 3.7 million and $ 11.1 million, respectively, with coupon interest expense of $ 3.4 million and $ 10.1 million, respectively, and the amortization of debt issuance costs of $ 0.3 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively. 2026 Capped Calls In connection with the 2026 Notes offering, we had entered into capped call transactions (the “2026 Capped Calls”) with three separate counterparties to hedge the dilution risk of the 2026 Notes. Concurrently with the 2026 Notes Repurchases in December 2023, we terminated a proportionate amount of the 2026 Capped Calls and received $ 15.6 million in cash, recognizing an increase to “Common stock” of $ 14.2 million and a $ 1.4 million gain. Concurrent with the settlement of the 2026 Notes Redemptions in March 2024, we terminated the remaining 2026 Capped Calls and received $ 4.4 million in cash, recognizing an increase to “Common stock” in the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Other In accordance with the Amended ABL Facility, the MARAD Debt and the 2029 Notes, we are required to comply with certain covenants, including minimum liquidity and a springing fixed charge coverage ratio (applicable under certain conditions that are currently not applicable) with respect to the Amended ABL Facility and the maintenance of net worth, working capital and debt-to-equity requirements with respect to the MARAD Debt. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants. 14 Table of Contents The Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) matured on September 15, 2023. Upon maturity of the 2023 Notes, we paid $ 29.6 million in cash to settle the conversion of $ 29.2 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded the conversion value in excess of such principal amount converted to “Common stock” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Notes representing the remaining $ 0.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes were redeemed at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2023 Notes had a coupon interest rate of 4.125 % per annum and an effective interest rate of 4.8 %. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, total interest expense related to the 2023 Notes was $ 0.3 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively, primarily from coupon interest expense. The following table details the components of our net interest expense (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 Interest expense ​ $ 8,414 ​ $ 4,830 ​ $ 25,594 $ 14,556 Interest income ​ ( 2,725 ) ​ ( 678 ) ​ ( 8,537 ) ​ ( 1,989 ) Net interest expense ​ $ 5,689 ​ $ 4,152 ​ $ 17,057 $ 12,567 ​ ​ Note 6 — Income Taxes We operate in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax laws subject to interpretation and judgment. We believe that our application of such laws and the tax impact thereof are reasonable and fairly presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, we recognized income tax provision of $ 9.5 million and $ 22.5 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 24.4 % and 38.8 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the jurisdicational mix of earnings, certain non-deductible expenses and non-creditable foreign income taxes. The effective rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain losses associated with the 2026 Notes Redemptions, which was characterized as a discrete event and reported in the first quarter. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $ 8.3 million and $ 9.6 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 34.9 % and 35.5 %, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods were higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to certain non-deductible expenses and non-creditable foreign income taxes. ​ ​ ​ ​ Note 7 — Share Repurchase Programs In February 2023, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase issued and outstanding shares of our common stock up to $ 200 million (the “2023 Repurchase Program”). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased a total of 937,585 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2023 Repurchase Program for approximately $ 10.2 million or an average of $ 10.87 per share. The 2023 Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. Repurchases under the 2023 Repurchase Program have been made through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, but may also be made through privately negotiated transactions or plans, instructions or contracts established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The manner, timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management at its discretion based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, liquidity and other factors. The 2023 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at our discretion. Any repurchased shares are cancelled. ​ 15 Table of Contents Note 8 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers Disaggregation of Revenue Our service contracts generally contain provisions for specific time, material and equipment charges that are billed in accordance with the terms of such contracts (dayrate contracts) but we occasionally contract on a lump sum basis (lump sum contracts). We record revenues net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Our revenues are primarily derived from short-term and long-term service contracts with customers. Contracts are classified as long-term if all or part of the contract is to be performed over a period extending beyond 12 months from the effective date of the contract.

Contract assets generally consist of (i) demobilization fees recognized ratably over the contract term but invoiced upon completion of the demobilization activities and (ii) revenue recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer for lump sum contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized. Contract liabilities are obligations to provide future services to a customer for which we have already received, or have the unconditional right to receive, the consideration for those services from the customer. Contract liabilities may consist of (i) advance payments received from customers, including upfront mobilization fees allocated to a single performance obligation and recognized ratably over the contract term and/or (ii) amounts billed to the customer in excess of revenue recognized for lump sum contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized. We report the net contract asset or contract liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets were $ 12.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and $ 5.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and are reflected in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 3). We had no credit losses on our contract assets for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 17 Table of Contents Net contract liabilities totaled $ 25.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and $ 32.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and are reflected as “Deferred revenue,” a component of “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 3). Revenue recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 included $ 12.6 million and $ 34.4 million, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. Revenue recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 included $ 15.2 million and $ 8.4 million, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. Performance Obligations As of September 30, 2024, $ 1.6 billion related to unsatisfied performance obligations was expected to be recognized as revenue in the future, with $ 260.6 million, $ 637.2 million and $ 712.9 million in 2024 , 2025 as well as 2026 and beyond, respectively. These amounts include fixed consideration and estimated variable consideration for both wholly and partially unsatisfied performance obligations, including mobilization and demobilization fees. These amounts are derived from the specific terms of our contracts, and the expected timing for revenue recognition is based on the estimated start date and duration of each contract according to the information known at September 30, 2024. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods were immaterial. Contract Fulfillment Costs Contract fulfillment costs consist of costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer. Our contract fulfillment costs primarily relate to costs incurred for mobilization of personnel and equipment at the beginning of a contract and costs incurred for demobilization at the end of a contract. Mobilization costs are deferred and amortized ratably over the contract term (including anticipated contract extensions) based on the pattern of the provision of services to which the contract fulfillment costs relate. Demobilization costs are recognized when incurred at the end of the contract. Deferred contract costs are reflected as “Deferred costs,” a component of “Other current assets” and “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 3). Our deferred contract costs totaled $ 42.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and $ 36.6 million as of December 31, 2023. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $ 9.9 million and $ 41.1 million, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred contract costs. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $ 13.7 million and $ 32.8 million, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred contract costs. There were no associated impairment losses for any period presented. For additional information regarding revenue recognition, see Notes 2 and 11 to our 2023 Form 10-K. ​ Note 9 — Earnings Per Share We have shares of restricted stock issued and outstanding that are currently unvested. Because holders of shares of unvested restricted stock are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights as the holders of our unrestricted common stock, we are required to compute earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method in periods in which we have earnings. Under the two-class method, net income for each period is allocated based on the participation rights of both common shareholders and the holders of any participating securities as if earnings for the respective periods had been distributed. For periods in which we have a net loss we do not use the two-class method as holders of our restricted shares are not obligated to share in such losses. 18 Table of Contents Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders or net loss by the weighted average shares of our common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner after considering the potential dilutive effect of share-based awards and convertible senior notes and taking the more dilutive of the two-class method and the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. The dilutive effect of share-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, as applicable, which includes the incremental shares that would be hypothetically vested in excess of the number of shares assumed to be hypothetically repurchased with the assumed proceeds. The effect of convertible senior notes is computed for the periods in which they are outstanding using the if-converted method, if dilutive, which assumes conversion of the convertible senior notes into shares of our common stock at the beginning of the period, giving income recognition for the add-back of related interest expense (net of tax). The computations of the numerator (earnings or loss) and denominator (shares) to derive the basic and diluted EPS amounts presented on the face of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Three Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 ​ Income Shares Income Shares Basic: ​ ​ Net income ​ $ 29,514 ​ ​ $ 15,560 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities ​ ( 29 ) ​ ​ ​ ( 27 ) Net income available to common shareholders, basic ​ $ 29,485 ​ 151,914 ​ $ 15,533 150,550 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted: ​ ​ ​ Net income available to common shareholders, basic ​ $ 29,485 ​ 151,914 ​ $ 15,533 150,550 Effect of dilutive securities: ​ ​ ​ Share-based awards other than participating securities ​ — ​ 2,937 ​ — 3,072 Undistributed earnings reallocated to participating securities ​ 1 ​ — ​ 1 — Net income available to common shareholders, diluted ​ $ 29,486 ​ 154,851 ​ $ 15,534 ​ 153,622 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnings per share, basic and diluted ​ $ 0.19 ​ ​ ​ $ 0.10 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 ​ Income Shares Income Shares Basic: ​ ​ Net income ​ $ 35,516 ​ ​ $ 17,495 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities ​ ( 36 ) ​ ​ ​ ( 30 ) Net income available to common shareholders, basic ​ $ 35,480 ​ 152,171 ​ $ 17,465 151,031 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnings per share, basic ​ $ 0.23 ​ ​ ​ $ 0.12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted: ​ ​ ​ Net income available to common shareholders, basic ​ $ 35,480 ​ 152,171 ​ $ 17,465 151,031 Effect of dilutive securities: ​ ​ ​ Share-based awards other than participating securities ​ — ​ 2,867 ​ — 2,905 Undistributed earnings reallocated to participating securities ​ 1 ​ — ​ 1 — Net income available to common shareholders, diluted ​ $ 35,481 ​ 155,038 ​ $ 17,466 153,936 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnings per share, diluted ​ $ 0.23 ​ ​ ​ $ 0.11 ​ ​ ​ 19 Table of Contents The following potentially dilutive shares related to the 2023 Notes and the 2026 Notes were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation as they were anti-dilutive (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 2023 Notes — 2,652 — 2,996 2026 Notes — 28,676 1,729 28,676 ​ We have outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (Note 10) that can be settled in either cash or shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, which are not included in the computation of diluted EPS as cash settlement is assumed. ​ Note 10 — Employee Benefit Plans Long-Term Incentive Plan We currently have one active long-term incentive plan: the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2005 Incentive Plan”). On May 15, 2024, our shareholders approved an amendment to and restatement of the 2005 Incentive Plan, which, among other things, authorizes 7.0 million additional shares for issuance pursuant to our equity incentive compensation strategy. As of September 30, 2024, there were approximately 9.5 million shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Incentive Plan. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the following grants of share-based awards were made under the 2005 Incentive Plan: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant Date ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value ​ ​ Date of Grant Award Type Shares/Units Per Share/Unit Vesting Period/Vesting Date January 1, 2024 (1) RSU 375,730 ​ $ 10.28 33 % per year over three years January 1, 2024 (1) PSU 351,410 ​ $ 12.30 100 % on December 31, 2026 January 1, 2024 (2) Restricted stock 5,776 ​ $ 10.28 100 % on January 1, 2026 April 1, 2024 (2) Restricted stock 2,595 ​ $ 10.84 100 % on January 1, 2026 July 1, 2024 (2) Restricted stock 2,356 ​ $ 11.94 100 % on January 1, 2026 (1) Reflects grants to our executive officers. (2) Reflects grants to certain independent members of our Board who have elected to take their quarterly fees in stock in lieu of cash. ​ Restricted stock awards are based solely on service conditions and are accounted for as equity awards. Compensation cost for restricted stock is the product of the grant date fair value of each share and the number of shares granted and is recognized over the applicable vesting period on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. No restricted stock awards have been granted to our executive officers or other employees since 2020. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $ 0.1 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, as share-based compensation related to restricted stock. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $ 0.3 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively, as share-based compensation related to restricted stock. Our performance share units (“PSUs”) granted beginning in January 2021 may be settled in either cash or shares of our common stock upon vesting at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board and have been accounted for as equity awards. Those PSUs consist of two components: (i) 50 % based on the performance of our common stock against peer group companies, which component contains a service and a market condition, and (ii) 50 % based on cumulative total Free Cash Flow, which component contains a service and a performance condition. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets. Our PSUs cliff vest at the end of a three-year period with the maximum amount of the award being 200 % of the original PSU awards and the minimum amount being zero . 20 Table of Contents For PSUs with a service and a market condition that are accounted for as equity awards, compensation cost is measured based on the grant date estimated fair value determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For PSUs with a service and a performance condition that are accounted for as equity awards, compensation cost is initially measured based on the grant date fair value. Cumulative compensation cost is subsequently adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect the current estimation of achieving the performance condition. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, $ 1.6 million and $ 4.4 million, respectively, were recognized as share-based compensation related to PSUs. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, $ 1.2 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively, were recognized as share-based compensation related to PSUs. In the first quarter 2024, based on the performance of our common stock price as compared to our performance peer group and our cumulative total Free Cash Flow, in each case over a three-year performance period, 452,381 PSUs granted in 2021 vested at 181 %, representing 818,812 shares of our common stock with a total market value of $ 8.4 million. Our currently outstanding RSUs may be settled in either cash or shares of our common stock upon vesting at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and have been accounted for as liability awards. Liability RSUs are measured at their estimated fair value based on the closing share price of our common stock as of each balance sheet date, and subsequent changes in the fair value of the awards are recognized in earnings for the portion of the award for which the requisite service period has elapsed. Cumulative compensation cost for vested liability RSUs equals the actual payout value upon vesting. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, $ 1.5 million and $ 5.2 million, respectively, were recognized as compensation cost. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, $ 3.2 million and $ 5.5 million, respectively, were recognized as compensation cost. In 2024 and 2023, we granted fixed-value cash awards of $ 6.1 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively, to select management employees under the 2005 Incentive Plan. The value of these cash awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over a vesting period of three years . For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, $ 1.4 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, were recognized as compensation cost. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, $ 1.1 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively, were recognized as compensation cost. Defined Contribution Plans We sponsor a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in the U.S. We also contribute to various other defined contribution plans globally. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, we made contributions to our defined contribution plans totaling $ 1.3 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, we made contributions to our defined contribution plans totaling $ 1.0 million and $ 3.2 million, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) As of September 30, 2024, 1.0 million shares were available for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP currently has a purchase limit of 260 shares per employee per purchase period. For more information regarding our employee benefit plans, including the 2005 Incentive Plan, the defined contribution plans and the ESPP, see Note 13 to our 2023 Form 10-K. ​ 21 Table of Contents Note 11 — Business Segment Information We have four reportable business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics, Shallow Water Abandonment and Production Facilities. Our U.S., U.K. and Brazil Well Intervention operating segments are aggregated into the Well Intervention segment for financial reporting purposes.

AROs are recorded initially at fair value and consist of estimated costs for subsea infrastructure decommissioning and P&A activities associated with our oil and gas properties. The estimated costs are discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free discount rate. After its initial recognition, an ARO liability is increased for the passage of time as accretion expense, which is a component of our depreciation and amortization expense. An ARO liability may also change based on revisions in estimated costs and/or timing to settle the obligations.

While we believe we maintain appropriate accruals for such matters, the actual cost to us may be more or less than the amounts reserved. We are involved in various legal proceedings in the normal couse of business, including claims under the General Maritime Laws of the United States and the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (commonly referred to as the Jones Act), contract-related disputes, employee-related disputes and subsequently identified legacy issues related to Alliance. We recognize losses for lawsuits when the probability of an unfavorable outcome is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. For insured claims, we recognize such losses to the extent they exceed applicable insurance coverage. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of litigation, claims or other proceedings, we do not currently believe that any loss resulting from litigation, claims or other proceedings, to the extent not otherwise covered by insurance, will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. ​ 23 Table of Contents Note 14 — Statement of Cash Flow Information We define cash and cash equivalents as cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
