MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"Our momentum has carried into the new year, as we posted another quarter of profitable growth in our services and small-scale fabrication businesses with strong operational execution to kick off 2024," said Richard Heo, Gulf Island's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our Services segment benefited from growth in our offshore services, including Spark Safety, with the segment delivering 22% year-over-year operating income growth for the first quarter. Our Fabrication results for the quarter further demonstrate the opportunity to deliver stable performance through strong execution and a focus on the small-scale fabrication market. We remain encouraged by the favorable end market trends in our core Gulf Coast region, which combined with our continued execution against our strategic initiatives, keep us on track to achieve our full-year 2024 financial targets."
"Our recent results reflect the continued execution of our strategic plan, and we made further progress on our key priorities during the first quarter," continued Heo. "We concluded our operational shipyard obligations during the first quarter, with the warranty period for our ferry projects being the final remaining items associated with the wind down of the Shipyard business. Our Services segment continued to benefit from strong demand in the Gulf of Mexico, which contributed to first quarter Services operating margins expanding 40 basis points to 11.2%. In our Fabrication segment, the contribution from the NASA project during the first quarter highlights the benefit of pursuing new end markets in small-scale fabrication, which combined with our continued focus on disciplined bidding and strong execution, resulted in another quarter of consistent results. We are confident that our skilled workforce, track record of execution and strategic location will allow us to continue to grow our Services and Fabrication businesses in both existing and new growth end markets."
"We finished the first quarter in a strong financial position with an ending cash and investments balance of over $61 million," stated Westley Stockton, Gulf Island's Chief Financial Officer. "The increase in our cash position for the quarter was the product of our operating results, the previously disclosed sale of excess property, and improvements in working capital. Our balance sheet provides us ample financial flexibility to pursue our growth objectives, which includes investments in organic initiatives, as well as potential strategic acquisition opportunities."
"We are extremely excited by our strong start to the year and remain confident we are well-positioned to pursue our growth objectives," noted Heo. "While we remain committed to investing in organic growth initiatives, we are increasingly looking for opportunities to deploy capital for strategic acquisitions to further grow the business. With our stable fabrication and services platform, combined with our strong financial position, we are ideally situated to pursue acquisition opportunities that will enable us to grow our existing platform, expand our current capabilities and further penetrate new growth end markets. As we have done throughout our strategic transformation process, we will remain disciplined in our pursuit of both organic and strategic growth, and we look forward to updating the investment community on our continued progress in the coming quarters," concluded Heo.
SEGMENT RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2024
Services Segment - Revenue for the first quarter 2024 was $25.5 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 18.3%, compared to the first quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher offshore services activity, including incremental revenue associated with the division's Spark Safety business line.
New project awards were $25.5 million for the first quarter 2024, an 18.6% year-over-year increase, and backlog totaled $0.4 million at March 31, 2024. The new award growth was driven primarily by higher offshore services work, including the division's Spark Safety business line. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards and backlog.
Operating income was $2.9 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter 2023. EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 was $3.3 million (or 13.1% of revenue), versus $2.8 million (or 12.9% of revenue) for the prior year period, an increase of 20.3%. The improved operating results for 2024 compared to 2023 were primarily due to year-over-year revenue growth. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Services Division's operating income to EBITDA.
Fabrication Segment - Revenue for the first quarter 2024 was $17.1 million, a decrease of $22.5 million, or 56.8%, compared to the first quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the prior year period including the benefit of a large fabrication project that was cancelled in July 2023, offset partially by higher small-scale fabrication activity in the current period.
New project awards were $18.3 million for the first quarter 2024, a 9.4% year-over-year increase, and backlog totaled $12.9 million at March 31, 2024. New awards for the first quarter 2024 were primarily related to small-scale fabrication work. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards and backlog.
Operating income was $4.7 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 was $2.5 million, versus $2.9 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 14.0%. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 excludes a gain of $2.9 million related to the sale of property that was held for sale at December 31, 2023, while the first quarter 2023 excludes gains of $0.2 million from the net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida. The decrease in operating results for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to lower revenue and associated lower utilization of facilities and resources resulting from the cancellation of the division's large fabrication project in July 2023. This impact was partially offset by improved utilization associated with higher small-scale fabrication activity and a more favorable project margin mix. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Fabrication Division's operating income to adjusted EBITDA.
Shipyard Segment - Revenue for the first quarter 2024 was $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the first quarter 2023. Revenue for both quarters was related entirely to the division's seventy-vehicle ferry and forty-vehicle ferry projects. Operating income was $0.3 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million for the first quarter 2023.
Corporate Segment - Operating loss was $2.2 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $2.1 million for the first quarter 2023. EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 was a loss of $2.1 million, versus a loss of $2.0 million for the prior year period. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of the Corporate Division's operating loss to adjusted EBITDA.
Segment Descriptions - The Company's divisions represent its reportable segments which are "Services", "Fabrication", "Shipyard" and "Corporate". The Services Segment includes offshore and onshore services work performed at customer facilities, including offshore platforms. The Fabrication Segment includes all fabrication work performed on-site at the Company's facilities, including pull-through fabrication work for the Services Segment. The Shipyard Segment includes revenue and gross profit and loss associated with the construction of three ferries that were substantially complete as of March 31, 2024, and legal fees associated with previous litigation ("MPSV Litigation") that was settled in the fourth quarter 2023. The wind down of the Company's Shipyard Segment operations was substantially complete as of March 31, 2024. Final completion of the wind down will occur upon completion of the warranty periods for the ferries. The Corporate Segment includes costs that are not directly related to the Company's operating segments, including the costs of being a publicly traded company.
BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash and short-term investments balance at March 31, 2024 was $61.3 million, including $1.5 million of restricted cash associated with outstanding letters of credit. At March 31, 2024, the Company had total debt of $20.0 million. The debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum, with principal and interest payable in 15 equal annual installments of approximately $1.7 million, beginning on December 31, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2038. The estimated present value of the debt is $13.0 million based on an estimated market rate of interest. During the first quarter 2024, the Company repurchased 60,860 shares of its common stock for $0.3 million under its share repurchase program commenced in December 2023.
2024 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Gulf Island is reiterating its full year 2024 indicative segment and consolidated guidance. Services Segment EBITDA is expected to be approximately $14.0 million, driven primarily by growth in the Spark Safety business line. Fabrication Segment adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $8.0 million, which includes year-over-year growth in the small-scale fabrication business, but excludes the potential benefit of any large project award. The adjusted EBITDA forecast for the Fabrication segment excludes a gain of $2.9 million in the first quarter 2024 from the sale of property that was held for sale at December 31, 2023. Corporate Segment EBITDA is expected to be a loss of approximately $8.0 million, which is consistent with recent historical experience. This forward-looking guidance reflects management's current expectations and beliefs as of May 7, 2024, and is subject to change. See "Cautionary Statement" below for further discussion of the factors that may affect the Company's future performance, "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and "2024 Financial Outlook - Segment and Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations" below for reconciliations of segment and consolidated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measures.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
This release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue, adjusted gross profit, new project awards and backlog. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's operating results and expectations of future performance excluding the non-cash impacts of depreciation and amortization. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it reflects the Company's EBITDA adjusted to remove certain nonrecurring items (including a gain from the sale of assets held for sale and gains from the impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida) and the operating results for the Company's Shipyard Division, which was substantially wound down in the fourth quarter 2023. The Company believes adjusted revenue and adjusted gross profit are useful supplemental measures as they reflect the Company's revenue and gross profit or loss, adjusted to remove revenue and gross profit or loss, for the Company's Shipyard Division, which was substantially wound down in the fourth quarter 2023. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue and adjusted gross profit to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented under "Consolidated Results of Operations," "Results of Operations by Segment" and "2024 Financial Outlook - Segment and Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations" below.
The Company believes new project awards and backlog are useful supplemental measures as they represent work that the Company is obligated to perform under its current contracts. New project awards represent the expected revenue value of new contract commitments received during a given period, including scope growth on existing contract commitments. Backlog represents the unrecognized revenue value of new project awards, and at March 31, 2024, was consistent with the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts as determined under GAAP.
Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be replacements or alternatives to GAAP measures, and investors are urged to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company may present or calculate non-GAAP measures differently from other companies.
