BOARD CHAIR TRANSITION
William E. Chiles, Gulf Island's current board chair, has notified the Company that he will retire at the end of his current term at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and the board expects to reduce its size to five directors at that time. In connection with Mr. Chiles's expected retirement, effective November 30, 2024, the board approved the appointment of Richard W. Heo, President and Chief Executive Officer, to serve as chair of the board and Robert M. Averick, a current director, to serve as lead independent director.
MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Bill for his tireless commitment to the Company for over a decade. Bill's outstanding leadership, business acumen and guidance have been invaluable to the Company and have benefited our stakeholders. I am honored to succeed Bill as board chair and look forward to working with the board to continue to advance the Company's strategic initiatives," said Richard Heo, Gulf Island's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our third quarter results demonstrate the durability of our operating model, as we generated year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA and strong free cash flow despite ongoing delays for certain projects for our Services division, lost revenue due to hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico during the quarter and incurred costs as we continued to make investments in our growth initiatives," said Heo. "Our solid results were supported by growth in small-scale fabrication for our Fabrication division, where revenue for the quarter increased 14% from prior year and adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled. Our Fabrication bid activity remains strong, and we expect the positive momentum to continue into 2025, with a longer-term focus on expanding our exposure to markets outside of oil and gas, such as infrastructure, clean energy and high-tech manufacturing."
"Within our Services division, results were again impacted by customer driven project delays and incremental investment spending in growth initiatives, in addition to lost revenue due to hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico during the quarter," continued Heo. "While we did not experience any significant damage to our Houma facility from the recent hurricanes, our Services operations were impacted due to the temporary removal of our personnel from customer offshore platforms as the storms approached and passed through the Gulf. Despite these recent headwinds, we remain encouraged by the strategic positioning of our Services business and continue to invest in key growth initiatives. Importantly, bidding activity for our recently launched cleaning and environmental services ("CES") business line is beginning to increase, and we are poised to benefit as the de-commissioning activity in the Gulf of Mexico gains momentum."
"Our solid operating results, combined with working capital improvements, resulted in another quarter of strong free cash flow generation, with our cash and short-term investments balance increasing to nearly $67 million at quarter end," stated Westley Stockton, Gulf Island's Chief Financial Officer. "Our strong financial position affords us the financial flexibility to continue to make investments in organic growth initiatives, such as Spark Safety and our new CES offering, as well as potential strategic acquisitions. In addition, the board approved an extension of our stock repurchase program and we are evaluating additional opportunities to return capital to our shareholders."
"Our strong execution and more stable small-scale fabrication and services businesses enabled us to generate solid third quarter results, despite several headwinds impacting our business. Based on our performance through the first three quarters of the year and our outlook for the fourth quarter, we continue to expect full-year 2024 adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $11 million to $13 million, with results likely to be at the lower-end of the range due to the headwinds impacting our Services business, partially offset by higher small-scale fabrication activity. While we are disappointed by these near-term impacts, we remain confident in our market opportunities and continue to invest in growth initiatives to further strengthen our strategic positioning. Based on our consistent execution, strong financial position and favorable end market trends, we remain encouraged by the long-term outlook for Gulf Island," concluded Heo.
DIVISION RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2024
Services Division - Revenue for the third quarter 2024 was $20.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 11.9%, compared to the third quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower new project awards driven by delayed timing of certain project opportunities and lower activity due to delays caused by hurricanes Francine and Helene in September 2024.
New project awards were $20.2 million for the third quarter 2024, an 11.3% year-over-year decrease. The decline in new awards was primarily due to lower offshore services work driven by continued delayed timing of certain Spark Safety project opportunities. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards.
Operating income was $1.4 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter 2023. EBITDA for the third quarter 2024 was $1.9 million (or 9.3% of revenue), down from $3.1 million (or 13.4% of revenue) for the prior year period, primarily due to lower revenue, a less favorable project margin mix and ongoing investments associated with the start-up of the division's CES business line. 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 Division - Revenue for the third quarter 2024 was $17.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 14.2%, compared to the third quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher small-scale fabrication activity.
New project awards were $16.9 million for the third quarter 2024, a 1.9% year-over-year increase, and backlog totaled $11.5 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in new awards was primarily due to higher small-scale fabrication work. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for the Company's definition of new project awards and backlog.
Operating income was $2.0 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2024 was $2.7 million, up from $1.4 million for the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenue and improved utilization of facilities and resources associated with increased small-scale fabrication activity, offset partially by a less 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 Division - Revenue for the third quarter 2024 was $0.5 million, compared to negative revenue of $32.7 million for the third quarter 2023. The negative revenue for the prior year period was due to the reversal of previously recognized revenue resulting from the resolution of the Company's previous MPSV Litigation. Operating income was break-even for the third quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $35.1 million for the prior year period. Operating results for the third quarter 2023 included a charge of $32.5 million associated with the aforementioned revenue reversal and project charges of $1.5 million associated with the division's ferry projects. The wind down of the Shipyard division's operations was substantially completed in the fourth quarter 2023, with final completion anticipated to occur upon completion of the warranty periods for the ferries, the last of which occurs in the first quarter 2025.
Corporate Division - Operating loss was $1.8 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million for the third quarter 2023. EBITDA for the third quarter 2024 was a loss of $1.7 million, versus a loss of $1.9 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 EBITDA.
BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash and short-term investments balance at September 30, 2024 was $66.8 million, including $1.5 million of restricted cash associated with outstanding letters of credit. At September 30, 2024, the Company had total debt of $20.0 million, bearing 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 $13.7 million based on an estimated market rate of interest.
During the third quarter 2024, the Company repurchased 110,908 shares of its common stock for $0.6 million under its share repurchase program. The board approved a one-year extension of the program to December 15, 2025.
2024 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Gulf Island's prior full-year 2024 indicative guidance was adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $11.0 million to $13.0 million. Based on the continued project delays impacting the Services division, in addition to lost revenue resulting from hurricane activity during the quarter, partly offset by higher small-scale fabrication activity, the Company currently expects full-year 2024 adjusted consolidated EBITDA to be at the lower-end of the guidance range.
This forward-looking guidance reflects management's current expectations and beliefs as of November 5, 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 - Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations" below for reconciliations of consolidated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measures.

ABOUT GULF ISLAND
Gulf Island is a leading fabricator of complex steel structures and modules and provider of specialty services, including project management, hookup, commissioning, repair, maintenance, scaffolding, coatings, welding enclosures, civil construction and cleaning and environmental services to the industrial and energy sectors. The Company's customers include U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers; refining, petrochemical, LNG, industrial and power operators; and EPC companies. The Company is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas and its primary operating facilities are located in Houma, Louisiana.
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 net impact of insurance recoveries and costs associated with damage previously caused by Hurricane Ida) and the operating results for the Company's Shipyard division (the wind down of which was substantially completed 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 (the wind down of which was substantially completed 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 Division" and "2024 Financial Outlook - 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 September 30, 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.

Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which the Company's forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, which it cannot control. Further, the Company may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. The Company cautions investors that it undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances, or otherwise, and notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
