NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tidewater Inc.

For the same quarter last year, net loss was $89.1 million, or $1.89 per common share, on revenues of $167.9 million. The immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2017, had a net loss of $94.9 million, or $2.01 per common share, on revenues of $160.7 million.

        reorganization items related to the Company's Chapter 11 proceedings.
    --  $163.4 million ($163.4 million after-tax, or $3.47 per share) in
        non-cash asset impairment charges that resulted from impairment reviews
        undertaken during the June 2017 quarter.
    --  $11.9 million ($11.9 million after-tax, or $0.25 per share) of debt
        renegotiation expenses were incurred in the quarter, which includes $6.7
        million classified as general and administrative expenses and $5.2
        million classified as reorganization items.
    --  $1.2 million ($1.2 million after-tax, or $0.02 per share) of foreign
        exchange losses resulting primarily from the strengthening of the
        Norwegian kroner on liabilities relative to the U.S. dollar.

Included in the net loss for the prior fiscal year's quarter ended June 30, 2016 were the following:

    --  $36.9 million ($36.1 million after-tax, or $0.77 per share) in non-cash
        asset impairment charges that resulted from impairment reviews
        undertaken during the June 2016 quarter.
    --  $2.7 million ($2.6 million after-tax, or $0.06 per share) of foreign
        exchange losses, most notably the devaluation of Nigerian nairas
        relative to the U.S. dollar.
    --  $1.1 million ($1.1 million after-tax, or $0.02 per share) of foreign
        exchange losses which is included in Equity in net losses of
        unconsolidated companies and related to our Angola joint venture,
        Sonatide.

Included in the net loss for the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2017 were the following:

    --  $64.9 million ($64.9 million after-tax, or $1.38 per share) in non-cash

        and administrative expenses related to debt renegotiations.
    --  $39.1 million ($31.3 million after-tax and after consideration of
        noncontrolling interests, or $0.67 per share) of revenue related to the
        early termination of a long-term vessel charter contract.

Income tax expense largely reflects tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions that levy taxes on bases other than pre-tax profitability (so called "deemed profit" regimes.)

Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings

As previously disclosed, on May 17, 2017, Tidewater and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, seeking approval of a prepackaged plan of restructuring.

On July 31, 2017, the company and its affiliated chapter 11 debtors emerged from bankruptcy after successfully completing its reorganization pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Tidewater and its Affiliated Debtors, that was confirmed on July 17, 2017 by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

Additional details about the restructuring are available on the company's website, www.tdw.com, and at http://dm.epiq11.com/tidewater, or via the company's restructuring information line 844-843-0204 (toll free) or 504-597-5543 (international calls). Additional details about the restructuring will also be available in the company's Form 10-Q, which is expected to be filed with the SEC shortly after the issuance of this press release.

The company will not be hosting an earnings conference call to discuss first quarter fiscal 2018 financial results. However, we expect to resume holding quarterly earnings conference calls to report our second quarter fiscal 2018 financial results.

Tidewater is the leading provider of Offshore Service Vessels (OSVs) to the global energy industry.
