Tidewater reports Q3 EPS (2c) vs 87c last year

Reports Q3 revenue $341.1M, consensus $329.51M. Quintin Kneen, Tidewater’s (TDW) President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The third quarter of 2025 came in above our expectations as vessel up-time across the fleet exceeded our initial estimates, delivering revenue of $341.1 million and gross margin of 48.0%. Average day rates for the quarter softened modestly driven by the North Sea and West Africa, consistent with our expectations, however, we did see meaningful day rate increases in our other reporting segments. Importantly, through a combination of better than anticipated vessel up-time and continued strength in production support, offshore construction and subsea and EPCI activities for offshore vessels, sequential active utilization increased in all but one of our operating segments, yielding our best active utilization since the second quarter of 2024. The increase in the active utilization of our vessels was driven by resilience in the broad-based set of support activities for our vessels and the benefits realized from the substantial investments made in the fleet over the past few years. We are pleased with yet another quarter of robust earnings and cash flow generation, with Adjusted EBITDA of $137.9 million and free cash flow of $82.7 million.”
