  Share This Story

HOUSTON, Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Industries, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLBL) today announced revenues of $132.9 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $121.8 million for the second quarter of 2010. Net loss was $27.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported revenue, net loss and loss per diluted share of $202.9 million, $61.1 million and $0.54, respectively, as compared to revenue, net loss and loss per diluted share of $228.6 million, $20.0 million and $0.18, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Included in the net loss for both the 2011 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 are tax valuation allowances related to foreign tax credits and various deferred tax assets of $15.1 million, or $0.13 cents per diluted share.

Project awards for the second quarter of 2011 were $85.7 million resulting in a backlog at June 30, 2011 of $201.3 million.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Chief Executive Officer John Reed stated, "Our results continue to be affected by the downturn in the marine construction industry and reflect the continued low level of project activity worldwide. We continue to focus on pursuing new project awards and the bidding activity has increased for projects in 2012 and beyond. During the second quarter, the Global 1200 completed its initial project in Dubai, performing above expectations, and is currently mobilized for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where we expect to put it to work later in the year. Also, in July, we booked a significant project in Mexico which will utilize the Global 1200, beginning in late 2011 and continuing into 2012."

The Company also announced that subsequent to the quarter end, it sold a 40% interest in its two Malaysia operating entities to Puncak Oil and Gas Sdn. Bhd. for a combined consideration of $23.6 million, with a one year option to purchase the remaining 60% interest for additional consideration of $35.4 million. As a part of this transaction, the Company reacquired a 30% interest in its Malaysian vessel ownership company from its former Malaysian partner, which comprised a portion of the 40% interest acquired by Puncak Oil and Gas.

In 2010, we began transitioning the operations of our company from a regional structure to a more centralized structure that focuses on global opportunities for our vessels. As a result, effective January 1, 2011, we have restructured our reporting segments from geographic regions to two new project segments: Construction and Installation and Other Offshore Services. This change has been reflected as a retrospective change to the financial information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 presented below. This change did not affect our consolidated results of operations or tax reporting.

Set forth are our Company's results of operations by reportable segment for the periods indicated.
